U. 25 Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the daily life of Kansan; to go further than merely printing the names of Kansan; to hold a University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be aggressive; to leave more. serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to qualify the students of the University. **Fair Flay and Accuracy Bureau** Doris Joseph...Student Member John M.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1915 SOME PARTY Yes, sir, every one will be there—all the students, for they are to be the hosts and hostesses; all the professors and professoresresses, for they will for once in their lives be the guests at a University party, and not have to worry about showing other folks a good time. What are the charges? Why, that is another unusual state of affairs. No one is trying to beat any one else out of his own hard-earned money, (or his father's.) It will be some colonial party, too. Everything "back to date" instead of "up to date." A professor of ours in knee breeches and ruffles or perhaps old-time hoop skirts and powdered hair will be worth seeing as they trip the Virginia reel. The Engineers are going to surprise us. What will they put on? Come up and find out for yourself. Get your best man or best girl to bring you up. If he or she is out of town, stag it, and get everything you can! For your money's worth? No, for nothing! POINT SYSTEM OF STUDENT INTEREST The University Senate may now act on the point system itself or turn its consideration over to the Student Council and W. S. G. A. Since the system is essentially for the students, and will affect the faculty in no direct way, there is no reason why the Senate should not give the students the right to act on the matter through their governing bodies. The Senate should let the students vote on a matter of student interest. The W.S.G.A. wants to vote on the system at its general election in April. The men of the University want the same thing, though they have not so expressed themselves formally. THANKS SACHEMS The Daily Kansan wishes to thank the Sachems for its communication printed elsewhere on this page, since that body represents the senior class. In making the Kansan the "official student paper of the University" the editors must conform with the ideas of the students of all classes. To know these ideas they must have intelligent criticism and suggestion, such as the Sachems have made. Any further communications of this character will be welcome. BOARD AT COST The state is not taking advantage of an excellent opportunity to enroll more students at the University and to help out the ones that are here when it does not establish an eating house similar to those at Hays Normal and Pittsburg. Board at Lawrence is high, in fact higher than in most towns, and the students suffer from it. Good board cannot be got for less than four dollars a week, while good board at Hays costs only $2.75. If the state should adopt a self-supporting eating house plan, good board could be provided for much less than at present. This would not only help the students that are here, but would induce prospective students to come here. Many a student that has come here expecting to make his own way, has become discouraged and quit because of the high price that he has to pay for board. And the self-supporting student, who works from three to eight hours a day at manual labor, is just the one that needs good substantial food. The state owes the student this chance. It would not cost the state anything because enough could be charged to make the plan self-sustaining. And the benefit that would accrue from this system is invaluable. Now, Mr. or Miss Senior don't you feel bad if you're not elected Phi Beta Kappa. That old saying "Not to the swift is the race" doesn't apply to K. U. boarding houses. Editor of the Daily Kansan: The Sachem Society, as representatives of the senior class, wish to register a protest against your treatment in this society. The east, and the whole senior class. From the first of January until the present date you have run in your column, about eight stories relating to the play, the longest of which was night before the production the only mention in the news column was a story 34½ inches in length. The lead of this story was "Probably you know that the senior play is to be given tonight. Then again perhaps you don't." The issue immediately following the night of the play not a single word entered your columns concerning the production, the cast, or the large attendance. The annual dramatic event of the senior class is not deemed worthy of mention in the University publication. Last year from January 14th until the date of production, at least fourteen stories concerning the senior play appeared on the front page. In the issue of Feb. 24th, the date on which the play was given, a top head story appeared in column one. On May 18th, the character cut out of the leading lady gave ample proof to the senior class that their play was worthy of notice. The year before when no seniary play was presented more publicity was given in the Daily Kansan in an annual play that lasted a year when the play was presented. For practically four months eleven members of the cast and the committee of five, all seniors, with Prof. Arthur MacMurray, have labored on a senior play. On the night of the show, he was introduced to the cocteau theatre. Yet the occurrence was not deemed worthy of a single line of mention in the issue of the Daily Kansan, "the official student paper of the University of Kansas," on the day following. Instead of giving the seniors the right to column one on the basis of their names, he printed a column on a proposed Beefsteak Supper for the Faculty. The Sachems protest in behalf of the committee who are seniors, the members of the cast who are seniors, and in behalf of the senior class It was not a dramatic society that was slighted but the class as a whole. CUTTING APPROPRIATIONS The cutting down of appropriations for the state is hard to handle in a responsible economy. There are a good many places where the state can prune expenses to better advantage. If this state is to maintain its high standard of excellence and efficiency, it should show a vigorably policy in regard to its schools and colleges—Leavenworth Post. CUTTING APPROPRIATIONS The Underwood UNDERWOOD First 912 Grand Avenue Highest mechanically, as evidenced by the award of the Elliott Cresson Medal. Well, amid the grins of the class, some polite youth offers me his chair, I drop half my books in my embarrassment, I say I want to sit and sink into the chair, wondering if my ears are half as red as they feel. The professor says jovially, "Ah, here we have the late Miss Nocker." He have missed the significant witness of thought is absolutely off the track. This very letter is proof of that. I suppose you are saying, Aunt Sophie. Stolen From the Mail Bag very good. Mr. Jones,” smiles the professor, “Now, the lesson for tomorrow will begin—” Fiddlesticks! I can get the old lesson in the time it takes to assign it. Finally, he gets through, however, and I make a dash for the door, almost fall down stairs in my haste, bump into me, skidding over the corner, speed the campus, and arrive at my next class—to find the roll all called, the recitation well begun, and every seat in the room fully occupied. sor, "The word shows plainly its Latin origin. It is derived from the accusative case, for if it were the nominal case, it will have pre-[the] — the— etc., etc." "The Machine You Will Eventually Buy" in public opinion. Proved through its adoption by the largest typewriter users. The hall resounds to the trump of many feet on their way to their next classes. My particular chum with whom I always walk across, takes one look in the room, sees who the professor is and discovers that he and disappears without me. The walks are filled with hurrying people. "You may begin to translate at line 15, Mr. Jones," says the professor. Mr. Jones looks rebellious, but begins. Now for instance, I have my first hour at Fraser, second at Geology, third at Fraser, and fourth at Adelaide. We were preparing before the whistle sounds, preparing for my hourly migration across the campus. I put on my coat, get my books together, and awaith the musket it eats, and blow to get my next class in time to be marked present. The siren sounds. Do I skip? I do not Best because it is the machine upon which all International typewriter records have been won. Now, Aunt Sophie, I can vaguely understand why a professor should think that his subject is the only really fine subject on the Hill, and know what he must do to sists that you will never amount to shucks without at least twenty hours in his department. I can even forgive the silver-tongued professor who lured me into taking Latin, Greek and Mathematics instead of Home Economics or Business, because they learn to attach a great significance to the whistle? Dear Aunt Sophie: Greatest because it has the largest typewriter factory and office building in the world. I'm a trifle out of breath to begin a sensible letter just now, but it's a shame to waste this perfectly good lecture hour, by taking notes or listening, so here goes. The reason for my lack of breath is the subject of my pitiful plait to you today. In other words, I've never new to fussy accent. This time nothing to fussy accent than those professors who think that their particular classes are not well begun until the whistle blows for them to end. The people who have their next class in this room crowd around the door, stick their heads in, rattle the knob, scrape their feet. No use. I wonder if two whistles would do and good. Or jitney service be twelve hours. Yours very much abused. Betty.
