UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
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 Kannan aims to picture the undergraduate in how to go further than merely printing the needs by making them play no fares; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be problem-solver; to be patient; to be best of his ability the students of the college.
FRIDAY. JANUARY 22 1915.
DON'T IT?
Ohio State Lantern: "Students
Sook Offness"—Daily Texan.
If the mountain won't come to Mahomet, then Mahomet will go to the mountain. That don't work in Texas.
HOW ABOUT IT. K. S. A. C.?
The Independent, in publishing a census of the professional schools of the United States, says that Cornell has the largest agricultural school, followed by Michigan and Columbus. Thought K. S. A. C. claimed to be the biggest in the world.
WHY NOT KANSAS?
The Michigan professors are to have more salary. The Board of Regents revised the schedule at its last meeting, and raised the salary of every class of teachers, from instructors up.
Kansas should do likewise. Her faculty is notoriously underpaid. Kansas is able, far more than the big majority of her sister states, to pay decent salaries in her schools. Her people are the wealthiest in America.
YOU SHOULD ATTEND
When a mass meeting is announced, do you think, "O! Well, it doesn't matter whether I go or not. There will be others there to attend to things and I shall not be missed." Or perhaps you think, "O, it will only be some dry speeches about upholding the honor of my Alma Mater, and obeying the rules. I heard all those last fall." If so, wake up, for the next one is going to be different. The Point System may affect you, whether you are interested or not. So it would be wise to find out about it. When the mass meeting is called, come and hear it thoroughly explained and discussed.
COLLEGE SOLDIERS
Herbert Cavanness of Chanute, commenting on the opposition of the Daily Kansan to any form of military drill in the colleges of America, says that a lot of freshman-sophomore-junior-senior energy might as well be expended in drilling as in night shirt parades and cane rushes.
Here are some figures that might interest Cavannah:
The United States spends 72% of its revenue on war, past and present.
The United States spends its revenue on war, past and present. That is $3.66 for every man, woman, and child in the country.
The war and navy departments take about 300 millions, and all other departments about 170 millions.
Perhaps Mr. Cavaness is right. Perhaps we should be trained to slay and maim, to burn and destroy. Perhaps the Republic should be provided with additional sinkholes for its funds. Perhaps we should adapt a militaristic policy. The Daily Kansas thinks not, and it thinks that the question is one for serious thought and not for jest.
THE NEW RULES FOR MAJOR COURSES
All Students Should Read This
The new major system, passed last spring, will go into effect this semester. Dean Olin Templin requests all students to attend the course of office and prepare the required major course reports for the Dean's office and the head of the major department. Following are the rules governing courses, with the new portions indented:
Junior-Senior Requirements. The work of the Junior and senior years. The course is taught on 12 hours, chosen from the courses offered by the various departments,
may be in courses open to either freshmen or sophomores. Major Course
Major Course.
before graduation the student must complete a major course of not less than twenty hours nor more than ten hours in the department and not less than thirty nor more than sixty hours in the group including the major department. At least twelve hours of work in satisfaction of the department major, as required, courses not needed to freshmen or somorhones.
During the last month of his sophomore year each student must file with the Dean notice of the department in which he is enrolled, listing his major, giving his reasons for his choice. The Dean will notify the department concerned of his approval of such application and the student will confer with the department with reference to the work of his junior and senior courses. The course is offered online in the catalogue one or more departmental majors consisting either of absolutely prescribed work, of suggested work, or of both, but in no case shall the prescribed work total more than twenty-five hours. A department may leave, at its discretion, a special major if it finds that the general majors do not meet the particular needs of the student. Any course in the department which is a prerequisite for any part of an undergraduate in that department, will be counted as part of the job description work, of the provision made, beginning language courses to the extent of ten hours need not be so counted unless the department so decides. Until the requirements of a major have been completed, the student must each term before enrollment in classes required by the department in his departmental major work by the major department. (These new requirements shall not go into effect for next year's seniors of the year 1914-15, but the seniors shall be required to go to the departmental advisers for advice.) The privilege of continuing a graduate may be withdrawn for cause by the department faculty or the Dean.
A change of department in which a student selects his major may be made at any time during his junior year, but application for such change must be approved by the dean and the department to which the change is made.
Free Electives. The work required for graduation not included in the major course is to be chosen subject to the restrictions that not more than forty hours may be in any group other than the one in which the major course is elected.
WHO IS FIT TO BE A COLLEGE
MAN.
"A certain standard of physical fitness as a pre-requireite for admission to the school was a serious attention by President Butler of that institution. In his annual report recently read, he suggested that he should not participate in this phase of entrance requirements.
"The university is expending each year out of the income of its endowment immense sums to supplement the fees paid for tuition in order to provide the best possible facilities for college and university instruction, says the opposing authority in relation to the public and to itself to see that it these colossal expenditures are made only upon and in the interest of those who are really fit physically as well as mentally to take advantage of the opportunities which the university has to offer and to make appropriate return to the community in the form of education. It is a careful physical examination insisted upon in the case of candidates for admission to the military and naval academies maintained by the United States... It is a matter well worth earnest consideration whether Columbia university should not once more take the lead in formulating educally than physically that physical fitness as well as intellectual capacity shall hereafter be required of all candidates for admission to the university in any of its parts."
"If President Butler thinks Columbia ought to admit only physically fit students, he will probably go ahead and adopt a policy of exclusion of others, just as he abolished football several years ago. But The Daily Illini is of the opinion that he will meet with too many obstacles to make his scheme a practicable one.
The foremost difficulty will be in the formation of a test for exclusion. Just what is a physically fit man will be an impossible question to determine. What must a man be, anyhow, to be able to do mental work? Where will he stop in ruling out defects? Are legs, arms, eyes, stature, weight necessary equipment of a courseman? The lack of any one of these of course, any man from West Point or Arnapolis. But a military education would necessarily include the physical element because of the nature of a military life. Where will President Butler draw his line?
"Who is fit to be a college man?"—The Daily Illini.
TO BE A JOURNALIST
When Irwin S. Cobb was asked by
When men how to succeed in the business,
when women have their way
"I don't think there is such a thing as a born writer. I don't believe any literary rooster was ever hatched that could crow the day he pipped the shell. I do think there are some who are born not to be writers. Writing is a trade for learned people, for instance. As in any other trade, some learn it faster and some learn it better than others.
"From my observation," continued Mr. Cobb, "I should say that a college education neither makes nor mars a man if he is born to be a newspaper man. I do not say born a newspaper man. I am sorry I did not get a chance to go to college, for I believe it rounds out a man's life, when he is a woman in his twenties, a more responsive to the peculiarly beneficial influences of the college life and is enthusiastic for mere living.
"As for the regular schools of journalism I think they are without doubt justifying themselves. I don't understand why it comes from one of them and at once become a finished newspaper man, but I do think he would stand a better chance eventually of becoming one than who had not taken such a course.
"One of the first fields to which the literary aspirant turns is newspaper work. And it's a bully game; though perhaps not as a life work, unless a man intends to specialize in some one of its branches. I do not know any other profession besides that of life than as a reporter. It is certainly the most attractive, the most fascinating and the poorest paid trade in the world.
"To be a good reporter is to enter the most useful form of endeavor that a so-called literary career can offer. The skills and expertise writers are common, essayists are also numerous, as are dramatic critics and the like, but good reporters are the scarcest and most valuable in the newspaper business today.
"Some of the greatest things ever written were written in a rush to catch an edition. I think that without doubt the best thing I ever wrote was a story in a daily paper. Probably no one remembers it but me, but I know I have never done anything better.
"I think the best natural asset a reporter can have to start with is a good memory, with some of that information it—a classifying memory with a power for reproducing what has been entrusted to it. If a reporter is not naturally suited to a memory should advise him above all to do his best to cultivate one."
PRAIRIE WINTER
Golda Faulds Doub. '17.
The winter tang of the prairie wind,
Sweeping relentlessly down,
Drives before it all living things
The ducks drift south in the Storm King's mouth
Whence the misty vapor blows,
And in the night, on the prairie
hill.
Texas to rio Grande Spelling竞赛
The extension division of Texas University spells the old-time spelling match in an effort to diminish the number of poor spellers. It is also encouraging more attention to spelling in preparatory schools by asking students to match, which will be provided with graded lists of words. Contests among the winners of the lower matches may be held. Paynes's "List Words" commonly Missspeller and Websites "Black Back Speller" are official texts.
Drives before it all living things A. it whines along the brown.
The wall of a thing remote;
It might be the call of baffled bounds.
It might be the call of bounded sounds.
Leaves a glitter of keen repose.
