The Daily Kamen asms to picture the Kamenas to go forward; to go further than merely printing them, to go further than merely painting them. University holds to play no favors; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charismatic; to solve problems to water heads; in all, to serve the University as its ability the students of the University. THURSDAY, JANUARY 21, 1915. A GREAT MAN GONE With the passing of Prof. Lewis L. Dyche the University has lost a valued friend whose natural modesty and entire lack of self-assertion perhaps kept his true worth from being recognized as it deserved. From the time he entered the University as a student forty-five years ago, all his life has been devoted to its service first and foremost. Professor Dyche would not leave Kansas to take a much better paid position in another school. He refused an offer of a government position that would have made him rich and famous as he deserved to be. He would not even undertake a polar expedition for the government until assured that half of the animals taken on the trip would go to his beloved Museum. This same Museum, standing on the very spot where he pitched his tent when he began his studies, is a fitting monument to his life and work. It was his unceasing effort and loving toil that made it the costly and precious collection, famous all over the country, that it is today. He will be remembered by the scientists of America as a peer, by the people of Kansas as a faithful servant of the public good, by all who have ever been connected with his alma mater as her most loyal and devoted son. A CITY'S SHAME The city purposes to apply to the federal court for an order to compel the Lawrence Water Company to make extensions ordered months ago. While at it, why not compel the company to furnish water that is fit for other purposes than flushing the streets? L. C. W. is a disgrace to the citizens of Lawrence. University students, who spend thousands and thousands of dollars every year, who form the chief resource of the city, are entitled to good water and plenty of it, and they aren't getting it, and haven't been for a long time. It would be a drastic, but excellent move, if the state legislature would take some action. It is entirely within its province, since the state is vitally concerned with public health, and since it spends thousands of dollars in Lawrence every year. WHERE DO YOU COME? Apropos of the recent rich, poor and middle-class stratification made by the department of home economics, is this intellectual classification perpetrated by a Boston paper: High-brow: Browning, anthropology, economics, Bacon, the uplift, inherent sin, Gibbon, fourth dimension, Euripides, "eyether," pate de foie gras, lemon phosphate, Henry Cabot Lord, Woodow Wilson. Low-highbrow: Municipal government, Kipling, socialism, Shakespeare, politics, Thackeray, taxation, golf, grand, opera, bridge, chicken a la Maryland, "eether," stocks and bonds, gin rickey, Theodore Roosevelt, chewing gum in private. High-howbrow: Musical comedy, Richard Harding Davis, euchre, baseball, Anthony Hope, moving pictures, small steak medium, Ella Wheeler Willcox, whisky, Robert W. Chambers, purple socks, chewing gum with friends. Low-brow: Laura Jean Libby, ham sandwich, haven't came, pitch, 1 and her, melodrama, hair oil, the Duchess, beer, George M. Cohan, red flammels, toothpicks, Big Tim, Bathhouse John, chewing gum in public. PAY YOUR DEBTS It will be to the everlasting shame of every student in the University if the Men's Student Council is compelled to stand alone under the troubles brought about by the failure of the Union. The debt belongs to every one of us. But still more will be to the shame of the men who signed pledges if they fail to pay. It is not to be expected that they will pay a full year's dues—although those who have are not complaining—but they should by all means pay a dollar, a semester's dues. They owe it. The Union was in operation for that length of time, and there is dire need for the money. Registrar George O. Foster will receive the money. It is not to be expected that a Council which failed so signally to solicit personally all the men on the Hill will seek you out and ask you for the money, unless it comes to a point where the Councilmen themselves will be the losers. Don't wait for that. Show your loyalty to your University, and pay now. THE POINT SYSTEM The committee at work on the Point System will soon make its report. The matter should receive the careful consideration of every woman in the University. The committee is trying to outline a system that will fit conditions here, allowing the proper number of points in proportion to the amount of work required. If you want to see the various committees and offices in your organizations better attended to, if you want to see school honors and responsibilities more equitably distributed, using talent hitherto undeveloped, and preventing overwork on the part of the faithful few, come out to vote on the Point System when the question comes up. CONCERNING THAT DANCE The Men's Student Council is planning the biggest dance in the history of the University. It will be an all-University affair, with good music. The date rule will be suspended, and everything possible will be done to make the occasion a memorable one. Aside from the fact that the dance deserves support because the profits will go to lift the Union debt—which is a debt that belongs to everyone of us—the dance ought to get support because it will bring together a big crowd of students, and will make for better acquaintancehip and better spirit which is always to be desired. Too bad that the Investigating Committee could not have been at the junior mixer last night. K. U spirit was rampant, and everybody had a good time. We need more such mixers. "Administration Building gets the hooks at last." We were under the impression that that edifice got the hook from the legislature some time ago. It is to be hoped that the second announcement of the installation of coat hooks in the Administration Building is not a false alarm. Send the Daily Kansan home. Eight o'clock chapel seems to have passed out of the experimental stage, and taken a permanent place in the University schedule. All require for us a service, the quiet hour for such early morning, the impressive short speeches, the responsive readings, the deep tones of the organ, the beautiful voices rising in the anthem—but one small item mars the poetry of the occasion. As such, we must be aware that fore us our attention is distracted by a bright red tie, a green hat, a purple suit, a blue coat, a yellow hair ribbon and dresses cut in various and sunny modes. Not but that all college gowns are appropriate; college gowns would add much to the atmosphere of the chapel service and make it almost perfect. HAVE THEY? Have the students of the University forgotten to respect the property of others in their mad pursuit of knowledge or have they grown careless. USE GOWNS When the whistle blows the boys rush into the cloak rooms and grab their hats, forgetting they wore a cap that day, or if it is raining they borrow some fellow's raincoat fully expecting to return it after class. Towels disappear from the gym. They don't cost the University anything but they do the man who furnishes the supply. Pillow cases, little cheap scrim ones, that are value-less any place except in the rest rooms where they make the rooms pleasant are taken away. Something is wrong with the standard of ethics of the students and something is wrong with the authorities who do not try to put a stop to this increasing petty thieving. No jewelry is safe if left in the locker rooms. E. P If you report your loss all you get is a sorrowful, "Isn't that too bad? But you know you oughtn't to leave your things around, it isn't safe." Why not try to make it safe? Stolen From the Mail Bag Iowans feel that their gospel team are good advertising mediums. One team addressed over seven thousand people during the course of the vacation and made the trip at a nominal expense. Your Loving Niece. My Dear Aunt Sophy: With hosts of love to you and cat, I am as ever What, I want to know, is the use of training me to be a sweet-mannered and gentle girl and then sending me down to the University, where I will learn all of the things would take the polish off Beau Brumel himself. I want to tell you of some of the things that are turning cream of my disposition into cured. The first thing that I want to ten you about, is the intelligent student that knows more than any one else. In most cases he or she is a "ONE" student and really has some ground for his arrogance. I have in mind the girl who always rises and very gently corrects it, in secretary. You know it is like a big O.C. A cabinet meetings, in school council, in club, or in fraternity meetings. And the aggravating part, Aunt Sophy, is that she is usually correct. But no self-receptive stude likes to have the extreme wisdom of an individual flaunted in his face. This same girl is the one you see all the time at all the instructor's jokes, always gets the outside work, and insinuates that the work is not hard enough. She always asks you what you got on the quiz, and is shocked that you should get only a two. Now she gets a one. Or, if by some mistake, you get more than she, she rises up, and is scandalized and insists on seeing her again. She does too exist. She is right here in Kansas University and is in several of my classes. M. E. This is all the knocking that is good for me in one day. But my dear friend, you are not going to have some way for me to keep my sweet disposition, in the face of this trial. Though the men do not go out with the idea of talking college to the people they meet, they are forced to do work on their own. The state savil themselves of the opportunity to get information from members of the team. Your name may never appear in the Kansan, but the folks are interested in University affairs because you are here. They will appreciate your letter telling about going to the Scrim if they have read about it in the Kansan. It's a Daily Letter $1.50 now until June 5 MY ROSEBUD The University Daily Kansan Golda Faulds Doub', 17. What are you dreaming of, little bud, In your bed of fragrant thorn; Of the lingering kiss of the mid- right dew, And the swaping breeze of the morn? Why do you hang your head, little bud. In languishing crimson blush; Are you too, vain, of your velvety leaves, leaves, of soft leather plush? leaves, And cradle of soft green plush? The dawn of Innocence, little bud, the greatest gift of things ever. The dawn of Innocence, little boy, Is the sweetest of all things sweet; This is the rarest of all your charms; My rose of the beauty replete. When your bosom swells to the full-blown rose, As tender dawn to the day, And your youth be forever gone. The blighting sun on the midnight dew Will steal half the sweetness away. Then dream while dreams are sweet, Ere the lingering kiss of the mid- morning. Freshmen don't work on their themes enough. A Kansas reporter invaded the sacred precincts of the English office the other day to ask why freshmen don't write better themes. He found out. Tabulated, the reasons would run something like this: THEMES They don't think while they're writing. WHY FRESHMEN WRITE POOR They know very little grammar. Their vocabulary are meagre. Their high school training is poor; they know the fundamentals of the written language. They can't spell. They can't punctuate. They think English is an unim nortant study. They have had little exercise in what they have realize the value of what they have had. They think it is easy; that they can "get by" without working. Send the Daily Kansan home. "I'ts a wise gym teacher that knows everybody's voice," murmured the wise freshman, as she slipped out and strolled down the Hill with her date. They will not kick so much because you neglect your letters and you won't have to explain everything you have written when you go home.
