The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the book in University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be amorous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to be able to the students of the University.
MONDAY. FEBRUARY 1, 1915.
WELCOME
WHAT'S THE PRICE?
Welcome to the University, merchants. We students are pretty busy just now with quizzes, and may not get around to shake hands. But we hope you enjoy your stay at K. U., and profit from the Week.
A shy at the Student Council, relative to its staging of the Union Debt dance, appears in the communication column elsewhere on this page. The writer thinks the Council should announce the price of the dance. He is right. The students want to know how much of the February allowance to save for the Union Debt dance. The Council should inform as soon as possible.
But those who paid Union dues, or would havepaid if they had been asked, and those who wish to get their money's worth while helping along a University affair will be on the floor when Swede Wilson and Eric Owens tune up.
His point that the Union members will be the ones to attend the dance is also well taken. Those who refused Union dues are those that balk at any proposition that seems to have a little in it for the University good. It is a cinch they will not be at the dance.
NAME PLEASE
If the author will write the editor giving his name the communication will be published.
The Daily Kansan has received a good communication signed "An Interested Alumnus," but the name of the writer was not given. Since the rule is not to publish any communication unless the identity of the author is known this communication must be held.
If the students of the University expended as much energy along useful lines as they do slipping on the sidewalks this would be a glorious institution.

CONTRAST
Upon the glass,
And dully cast a pallid gleam
On those who pass.
And now, through gloomy dusk and rain.
The buildings frown;
The wan lights flicker through the
A few bare leafless branches loom above the mossy high.
All day Ive hurried up and down
And now, through gloomy dusk and
and now.
Against the sky:
the sharp wind whistles shrilly
through
The church, the rain,
Hiding the rain now here, now there,
In jeey sheets.
But somewhere in a cozy room The firelight glows
The bright glow
the thunderstorm while outside
The storm-wind blows;
the gusts are beaming
The storm-wind DWWS;
And some one's eyes are beaming
A tender light,
Which all the dreariness and gloom
entrusts.

THE SONG OF THE COKES
Oh there's nothing like the quiz
THE SONG OF THE COOKS
Oh! there's nothing like the quizzes
And the good they always do.
They're a blessing to the doctors
They're a blessing to the doctors Yes to the opticians too.
And they even help the gas man,
And they even help the gas man,
When the fires burn all night long.
And the plump electric meter
Joins glady in the song.
But to get right down to business And eliminate the jokes, They bring the richest harvest To the guy that sells the "cokes." jpm

"Better Than Tolstoi"
The Associated Press has spread abroad the story of Louis Vanderberg, of French Flanders, who kept a diary during more than two weeks of wandering after having been wounded during a battle. Belgian Vanderberg helped in letters, describing his mistakes in diction and grammar, but what he wrote is described by the surgeon who discovered it as "more beautiful than Tolstoi."
The man, wounded in the neck, with three bullets through his right leg and his left ankle crushed, dragged himself about the deserted trench, subsisting on vegetables he took from abandoned fields and from morsels of rations found on dead comrades.
There is power and appeal in the lines he scrawled in the note-book of a friend whose body he found. His mind was concerned with putting down what he experienced, and he had no strength to waste it. He saw opportunities for diversions. He went straight to the truth, his imagination purged by agony of all superfluities. He wrote with the singleness of purpose that is in Tolstoi; with the vividness of a simple vision. Some clue to the secret, of genius is contained in the idea of Irish for joy. He knew what was to be said and it with the tense economy of a brave man who was looking death in the eye.
Fashion claps a new hat on our friend's head—a hat with a funny nip in it, or a queer wiggle of the brim, or a long, soft droop, or a dashing tilt, or a jaunty up-fling, or any kind of line whatever, that has distinctive meaning and is not the kind of line we have been used to.
what happens? First of all, we are interested, our eyes are challenged anew. Then the interest and the challenge give us a fresh impetus to see, as the familiar face, as though it were a stranger's, and we find in it things we have never noticed. The funny pinch in the brim may bring out all its gagery, the long, sleek jaw, and the tautness up-finged of the side may give it a sudden brave note. I have seen a pretty, refined New England face turned suddenly, by a sweep of brim and a green feature into a loop of hair that breaks bonds, blood-sister to Robin Hood.—From the February Atlantic.

Concerning Hats
STUDENT OPINION
If some of the whisperings that are going around the Hill concerning the big Varsity dance that is to be given in the Gym on February 9 are true it would seem that the Student Council is acting in bad faith.
There is a rumor prevalent that the Council is going to charge a dollar to go to this dance. The fact that the Council has admonished several people on the Hill to keep still about the threat of favor of good intentions on its part.
With the exception of the Prom and the Hop there have been only two dances in the Gym in the past two years that have cost more than fifty cents. Those dances were the Halloween parties.
A large per cent of the men that are going to this dance are men who paid their Union dues and now the Council proposes to stick those same men who helped out when help was needed. Fine spirit.
If the Council is acting in good faith it will advertise the price of the dance. Otherwise it will lead people to believe that its spinal column that has heretofore been no more rigid than that of an angle worm has no more stiffness than it ever had.
Further than this the lights are always turned off in the Gym at 11:45 o'clock while down town the dances are never over till 1 o'clock.
