Entered as second-chase mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
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 undergraduate, as well as the go-forward, than merely printing the names and to more briefly holdy prizes; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads all ht, to be intelligent, all ht, to be members of the University.

KANSAS DAY
Her Time is "Now," Her Heritage is "Hora."
January 29 has a place in the minds of Kansans as a sort of secondary Thanksgiving Day. It is a day of praise and feasting, a birthday celebration where every additional candle on the cake helps illumine a larger gathering. Far from growing attenuated with the passage of years, the Kansas spirit, and the love and loyalty of the Kansas people, waxes ever stronger. Which is as it should be, for the Kansas spirit is the spirit of America, pure and undefiled, and many times intensified.
It is this spirit, made up of equal parts of idealism, individualism, and love of liberty, that has made Kansas what an admiring commentator calls "constitutionally illustrious." Without it, Kansas would have been famous as a great agricultural region, the farmer's paradise, the state par excellence where a young man might grow up—and rich—with the country. All this is very well, but it is not what has made Kansas an entity distinct from every other. This alone would not make Kansas illusorious, as it undoubtedly is.
Nothing but idealism of the highest kind could have brought the first settlers through the long series of calamities comparable only to the plagues that harassed Egypt, and brought them through glorying in the privilege of their trials. Only individualism has made Kansas above and beyond the influence of precedent, the experience of history, and made its name synonymous with independence and personal liberty, so dear to the American people. Love of liberty and equality is what preeminently distinguished Kansas from other frontiers, and made it the first battle ground of a colossal struggle.
What wonder that a people with such a history and such a heritage should feel for their state a fierce pride hardly second to that they feel in their country? What wonder that your true Kansan never lets anybody forget that he is a Kansan? As long as the true spirit of Kansas burns in the breasts of her people, so long will her triumphal march proceed; so long will her sons and daughters be among the leaders of the country's destiny; and so long will Kansas Day be celebrated as an anniversary of the first importance.
A CONVOCATION SUGGESTION Helen Keller will be in Topeka and Kansas City February 12
Here is a chance for the conversation committee to give the University the benefit of real talent. What student would not go to Fraser, or to the Gym, to help Helen Keller?
BE GOOD
If the committee is on its job here is a chance.
With John R. Mott coming in March, the Christian Associations offering mission courses, and the honor sentiment making headway it looks like rocks ahead for the cribber and his ilk
Anybody who wants to skate now will have to take a broom to the lake. Mr. Shea says he wore out three pieces of sandpaper getting that ice smooth, and that's enough for him.
"More rope given orators" is the heading over a story from Minnesota. Evidently tryouts are followed by lynching bees.
The Chinese are taxed one dollar to get married, ten cents to go to college, and fifty cents to graduate. Let's all go to China.
From the way the College course schedule is changing the student will have to take a snap shot of it to see what is offered.
"Department of biology offers biolo-
gy course." Quite natural.
Now all together, everybody: We want a Belgian prof!
Stolen From the Mail Bag
Dear Aunt Sophy:
I no more than got my temper under control in this school and begin to sail along under clear skies, than something comes up that reduces me to a state of rage again. It's a girl this time. I guess no boy here would dare to approach me. But a girl here has certainly sung into the girl From now on we meet in the girl who a request to borrow my note-book.
It happened like this. I worked all Saturday on my note-book for American history for Professor Davis. And when that note book was done it was a sight to gladden the heart of any student or professor. He asked me, "How did you could tell by the way I strutted that a completed note-book was the reason. I was walking along like I owned the earth, when "she" saw me. Knowing her habits, I coyly hid that note-book behind me and looked unconcerned, hoping that she would pass me up. But no such luck. That girl has the nose of a grafter, and she can scent "fruit" a block off.
raito, deary. What you been do-
dre, she call out as she peered
around and spoke.
"Hum, nothing, just fooling around in the stacks," I told her, and went on hoping to throw her off the scent. "And, say, there are some of the best books we read in school, sliding along trying to keep that notebook out of sight. In the meantime she was smiling and sliding around so that she could get at that note-book. I knew that it was a losing game, but determined to hold out as long as I could.
Finally she got it. "Oh, let me see how you do your notes," she crowed as she grabbed it. We were at the corner where she turns off. "You're all done." Fine. So am I. Let me see how you draw a picture as Maude, I want to see her. I'll give you the book at class tomorrow."
Off she shot with that book. Went home and copied it from cover to cover, as far as I know. Next day she paraded into class, and to make matters worse, she had forgotten my note-book, and she did not do anything by doing my work on time. It isn't the grafting I mind, Aunt Sophy. It's the girl who grafts all the time but does it under cover and acts as if she were an honest woman. I don't mind grafters if they do it in the open, but the man or woman who takes your notes and things and your notes and things and not own that he or she is grafting, makes me so darned mad that I just feel like tearing things up.
Can you offer any suggestions to cure this pest? If you can let me know, please note: note-books yet haven’t been grabbed and I want to save them if I can.
Hastily yours,
MARIE.

Just as a hidden cog somewhere in the innest part of the college newspaper machine is the reporter. He works under command; he solves the problems assigned to him in his own resourceful way; he leads the recreation team, exercise and human activity. He feel the pulse beat of the college, has his hand on the hidden springs of movement, asks questions denied the most inquisitive and
hunts ever for the novel, the new and the 'interesting'. His tasks are legwork, done between classes, at meal times or late at night. Each day he turns in his little grist of matter, now a note, now an article, now an interview. The college holds the college disposes of in two glances. Errors it blames to him. Facts desired it gleans in silence. It inquires not into the writer of the things that please; it expresses appreciation never; for it accepts all this as a matter of course. The reporter follows the events. He labors only for the joy of the work. He glean's his reward in rereading in the columns of the paper the story which the public knows not is his own—Ex.
