The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for more than merely printing the news by making it available; hold no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to help to make education habilitate the students of the University.

GO TO THE VARSITY
Now is the time for all good students to come to the aid of the Student Council!
Tonight, Tuesday, March 9, the Varsity Theater will give a benefit for the Student Union debt, all proceeds above actual expenses to go to the Student Council toward wiping the Union deficit off the books. All K.U. is expected to date up and step forth—let come snow rain, or hail.
The chronic fussers, the married cases, the occasional women chasers, and the stags will all be there—and as a special inducement the Varsity will present a strong feature film with special music. Lessons for the following day are not to be neglected of course, but then—the wrysture needs some rest occasionally. The date rule will be off, according to a decision by the W. S. G. A., and you can tell that exacting prof that you simply had to have a little recreation. And though you flock out on that history or German the next day, your attendance at the Varsity will have more than eased your conscience for the crime.
Cast dull care aside, go get her,
and chase down town for the movies tonight.
THE COLLEGE DAY
Like Banque the ghost, the talk of a College Day will not down. The students in the College, realizing that they are in the biggest department of the University, feel that they are entitled to a day set aside for them when they can get together to make merry, just as much as any other school in the institution.
And as long as they feel that way about it, they are pretty sure to get what they want. Elaborate arrangements were made last year for a celebration, but through lack of interest and because of the newness of the proposition, the students themselves turned it down. This year there is an evident demand for it.
Ogden Jones is at the head of the movement as president of the College and he will soon announce what the plans for this year will be. Then the time for the students of the College to get together and show the rest of the University that there is a real unity in the School. College students have far less chance to know each other than is afforded students in the other schools, because there are more of them. Through the arrangement for a College Day ample opportunity would be given them to get together and celebrate.
The faculty will, in all probability, grant the big school a holiday if sufficient interest is shown. This was
the thing that made the affair last year a failure.
The communication columns of the Daily Kansan are thrown open to any one who has suggestions or ideas to offer about this big day. An imposing show of interest will make College Day a reality and a day long remembered.
CHANCE FOR SOCIAL SERVICE Through the leaders of the Mott-Robins campaign several avenues of social service have been opened in the city. The carrying on of the work will be left to the students of the University.
Gymnasium classes among the boys of the East Bottoms, Boy Scout work, instructions in first aid to the factories, leadership of hikes, language classes among the foreign laborers, and club work are a few of the kinds of service offered.
Students who wish to follow up this line of work have a good opportunity to begin here. Others who wish to do a little good in a practical way also have an opening furnished them in this work.
Either the Y. M, or the Y. W. secretaries can give information on the work.

FAVOR JOINT COUNCIL
The need for a joint student council, or at least a joint committee of the two student councils, becomes more and more apparent to anyone who follows closely the progress of student government. In a coeducational institution, many questions come up which concern the man and woman equally. There is no logical reason why the Men's Student Council should settle such questions, any other than that their half is going to submit peaceably to be ruled by the other. A joint committee could settle the difficulty.
Some time ago, the University Senate considered a certain question of student activity, but before taking any definite action decided to put the matter before the two councils. One voted for the old ruling, and one for the new. Consequently, nothing was done.
It is possible that a joint council would settle some the vexious problems of student government, and make it less of a failure.

Speaking the Language Lesson.
You must be a real Karen to speak with you if you smile when a door hits you on the nose; if your wife can laugh when the cat tips over the bottle of cream; if you refuse to crush your business rival when you have him in a corner; if you do not gossip about the new neighbor who come in over the house, you blame the school; teacher because Johnie failed; if you bury your pessimism in optimism; if you substitute "is" for "if"; if you do not injure your eyes watching the clock for quitting time; if you tune your life to sympathize with sorrow; to harmonize with happiness, to love and be a major chord of righteous endeavor, why then you are happy and you are speaking and living the Kansas language—Henry Allen.

Dear Aunt Sophie;
I regret to have to tell you that my formerly sweet disposition is slowly oozing out of me with the water in my shoes. The weather is getting better and I am sure to always be bright and sunshine, but I have almost reached my limit, and I think it is time for the sun to come out and do a little of his own work. It is just this way. Anne even leaves her room when young emotions get to sniffling nicely they get snowed under. This has happened so often lately that my emotions have decided not to bloom at all this year; that is, unless you can speak to her as she has been changed real speedily. In the first spring days we had I could not work because my head was too light, and now I cannot work because my feet are too heavy. I know I carried myself ahead of water in my shoes yesterday.
So well, that, bless you!

MICHIGAN'S SUPPORT OF HIGHER EDUCATIO
Luev
In addition to its university at Ann Arbor the state of Michigan supports an agricultural college at East Lansing and a college of矿es at Houghton, and for many years its annual allowances for these institutions were greater than those made for higher educational purposes by any other state of the American south; these allowances have greatly increased. Twenty years ago the total appropriation was $526,497; ten years ago it, had increased to $884,664, and it is $1,409,000 for the current year. Notwithstanding these increases the ratio of growth has not held Michigan in first place. According to figures gathered by the Detroit Free Press, in respect to state allowances for higher education, or for the fall this year to fifth place, Minnesota, Illinois, Wisconsin and California being, in point of appropriations, considerably in the lead.
PROGRESS EQUALS SUPPORT
It is almost a truism that the state colleges make progress in some proportion to the amount of support given them, and there is no denomination for how much extravagant in a hundred less ways of spending money rather than to be penurious in this single instance. Unless it is to be assumed that the people of Michigan have access to the welfare of institutions that made not only for their honor but for their prosperity long before the automobile appeared, we are certain that they will not need any such assistance, and the duty to Am Arbor, East Lansing and Houghton-C., C.

Spring Fashions
Varsity styles are the particular choice of most of the young men. There are some very interesting style ideas shown in them; new lapels, new shaped backs, new collar effects; and a number of new things in waistcoats.

CHANCES FOR PAPER generation has seen a striking progress in the case with which an education may be obtained. Every effort has been made to ease the path of the searcher after knowledge and pains have been taken to reach those who are by circumstance forced early into the business of making a living. Night schools, in some cases conducted by municipal authorities, where those who must work during the day must obtain the rudiments of education or receive special instruction in some technical subject, are now a feature of the educational system of most cities. In many cases the tuition is free and in other cases the schools are conducted by the Y. M. C. A. and other philanthropic organizations and the fees are only nominal. An ambition has been deprived of advantages in school education, or who desires training in a trade, should find little difficulty in obtaining either.
CHRISTIAN OUSTS SORORITIES
For those who by force of circum stance must study at home there is the university extension course. Many of the larger colleges offer extension courses in addition to their regular curriculum. Such a student misses the social life and the personal inspiration of the college, but he训练 courses under the teachers as his more likely situated instructors as his more likely away to school. These educational opportunities are not designed for youth only, there are many men and women past the prime of life working in might school and college, but they should prove most popular with the youth because of his usually greater energy and power of assimilation.
Few college catalogues are published these days which do not contain a word of advice and encouragement to those who must work their way through. Harvard college publishes a special booklet which advises men how to obtain work in connection with their college course and cities with their college students of students who have worked their way through school in an unusual manner. Leland Stanford Jr. university sets out in its catalogue the kind of student labor that is most in demand, and colleges, generally, give every aid to the prospective student-worker through a letter. Many colleges have employment bureaus for finding suitable work for the student.
CHANCES FOR EDUCATION
Quiz? Every student knows what a quiz is, but we venture the guess that not one in ten knows the origin of this word that has unceremoniously thrown many students out into the quizzical world beyond college halls and walls, and brought to persevering coveted sheepskin to persevering gobbles after knowledge. The story goes that Daly, the manager of a Dublin play-house, laid a wager that a word of no meaning would be the talk and puzzle of the city within twenty-four hours. Accordingly, he choked the word "quiz" on the walls of all the buildings of Dublin, with the effect that won the game And the word quiz has ever lived up. And the word origin as the grade books of teachers and professors the world over show—Boulder Morning News.

College at the close of the 1914-1915 school year. This is the first junior college in the state to take such action in regard to sororites.
Christian College, through the executive committee of its faculty, has made a study of the sorority question the past two years. The growing sentiment of opposition to high school sororities and fraternities upon the part of trustees and faculty and the recent ruling of the National Pan-Hellenic Congress against the eligibility of students who have held, or joined, membership in a secondary sorority after 1915 have been noted as significant factors in the present status of the sorority question.
Four of the seven junior colleges for women in Missouri had had social sororities several years. At the annual sessions of the dunion, Union, sorority problems have been most mtl questions for discussion.

Taken to British Museum Basement in Fear of Air Raids
London—For the first time since 1816, when they were taken from Greece, the Elgin Marbles from the Parthenon, the most valuable collection of statuary in the world, in Rome, from the ruins of the British Museum that has been visited for nearly a century by connoisseurs and others from all over the world.
The collection has now been placed in the basement as a precaution again German aeroplane raids, but the public will be able, owing to clever lighting arrangements, to inspect it as usual.
