UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
The Daily Kanan alma to picture the kind of teacher who goes to further than merely printing the news. In addition, she to play no favorites to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to solve more serious problems to assist them in all; to serve up ability the students of the University.*
TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1915
Anyway we never had any earthquakes in Italy when the Union was open.
Doubtless everybody was relieved to hear the real truth about the Diplocaulus Magnicornis.
A few Councilmen are singing "Onward Christian Soldiers," but the majority are humming, "Throw Out the Life Line."
The University gets one sixteenth of the high school graduates of the state. Thus is one fitted to lead the other fifteen.
What a pity that the lecturer who lately held forth downtown on "From the Ballroom to Hell" had never seen one of our "middy dances." Still, it would have spoiled some of his arguments.
Prof. R. A. Schwegler believes in Hell but cannot describe the furniture. He might take a look at the Student Union furniture that constituted the K. U. Hell last weekend.
If the American Government classes succeed in reforming the state government satisfactorily, perhaps they can get a job revising quiz schedules and enrollment schemes.
FLOOD POTTER LAKE
If the managing editor doesn't quit running stories of menus, with the prices, offered by the department of home economies he is going to have a lot of boarding-house keepers calling on the circulation manager.
Potter Lake, in addition to being ornamental, might become the source of a great deal of pleasure. The lake is covered with a thick coat of ice, but it is too rough to make skating very enjoyable. A few inches of water over the surface would freeze over night, and make an excellent place for skaters to enjoy themselves.
WHO'S TO BLAME?
Who's to blame for the failure of the Student Union? That is a question asked repeatedly since the unfortunate incident of last week.
It is a difficult query to answer. Perhaps the Student Council, and especially the committees supposed to attend to the affairs of the Union, could have given more time to boosting the proposition. The members of the Council could have done much more solicitation, as the Council, and particularly the Union committee of the Council, did last year.
But it is probably true that the students did not want a Union. The Council offers the argument that it did not purpose to "ram it down the throats" of the students, and that it couldn't if it wanted to. is too small to cope with present con-
One thing is certain. It will be many a day before K. U. can begin agitation again with any success. The pity of it is that the laudable beginning of last year perished so easily. Further away than ever is the dream of a permanent Union—and this is one of the primary purposes of the Council, if its constitution may be believed.
A FIGHTING CHANCE
A bill will be introduced into the state legislature, now in session, to give the people of Kansas a chance to vote on the mill tax amendment to the constitution. *
That is all the University and her sister schools ask—a fighting chance. There can be no logical reason for the legislature's failure to give the people of the state a chance to vote on a measure that is universally admitted to be desirable.
NOT REPORT
Not report.
After the school has been charged with no spirit, the institutions of the school with faculty control, after such charges have been scattered broadcast over the United States, and after it has been vested with authority to come to the University and learn the truth about the charges, and after the students and the faculty at the University gave it every cooperation possible the K. C. Alumni Investigating Committee may not report.
The motion in the meeting of the Kansas City Alumni Association, December 2, that created the committee was to the effect that whether the charges were true or not the alumni should know; therefore the committee. The purpose of the committee was to learn "what is the matter with K. U." and REPORT it to the Alumni Association. The investigation was not held just to let four alumni get an insight into school affairs. It was held to let the alumni know, through these four men, what conditions on Mount Oread are.
The University virtually has been put on trial. It and the public should know what the verdict is.
By reason of its own creation, by reason of fairness to the University, and because there is no reason for not doing so the committee should report its findings.
WHEN MEN COME TO SCHOOL IN THE MORNING
Two sophomore women became ashamed of the way they spent their time discussing clothes, men and dancing. They swear off on such topics of conversation, and told a senior woman of their resolution.
"Boys," said a sophomore, "don't talk such silly rot. We think we can do as well. If men can talk sense, so can we."
The senior smiled a far-away smile and fell to dreaming of her own sophomore days. Then with a very wisdomish air, she took the sophomores by the arm, and led them to Adams hill, where at 8:20 there are more men than any place else in New York. He walked, listening to the words dropped from the lips of the men as they toiled up the Hill.
"Say, wasn't that some dance though, Friday? I Swell. Say, did I swell? Did you do it for lady. Visiting a friend here. Fair dancer but say, she made up all she lacked, in disposition. Had the disposition on a woman I ever saw."
"and so I called her up and I says, 'Now I give you one more chance. If you say the word I'll be right,' she said that she wouldn't take it back, so I said that I couldn't come out then. I guess that kind of got her for she said that she guessed I could find some on else easier to get it."
One sophomore sniffed. "I guess Ted doesn't know he's talking so loud. I heard that conversation, and——"
The rest of the disposition of the wretched was lost as the men wore up on the
"Hush," said the senior. "You came here to listen to the conversation of the three."
Another crowd behind the women
much laughter. That's pretty
wild. Maybe they've got something.
Ahead there drifted back, "And would you believe it, that dirty freshman used to just wear his only clean shirt, and me due on my own date in twenty minutes."
Here two men stepped past the
 Here two men stepped past the
tones that nothing could be heard.
"Those are two juniors, and I imagine that they are discussing the junior annual elections," said the senior.
"I haven't got my history notes in. Had to do so many things this weekend, and then I went down to dancing class Saturday afternoon, and had a date last night, so I guess I'll have to tell Dvkstra that I was sick."
The senior turned to the Library an left the sophomores to ponder upon the things that they had learned.
And you who read this will not believe it unless you have listened to men as they come to school in the morning.
STUDENT OPINION
HONOR SENTIMENT
As quiz week approaches, the question of the Honor Sentiment again comes to the front. Kansas University is working for honor sentiment, and not for an honor system. Such systems have been tried at some universities, but not with signal success. In fact, the idea itself seems a contradiction; honor is not something that comes from without, but must come from the individual student from within.
But honor sentiment can be encouraged. Freshmen sometimes get the mistaken notion, from the swagger and careless way in which upperclass students are made to borrow a few ideas from a book, or a few sentences from your neighbor's paper in a quiz is a very slight matter, having little to do with one's real character and having no experience of teaching students on the Hill. But such is not the case. The really worth-while students, the ones who hold positions of responsibility and honor on the Hill, the ones of whom you will be glad to say in an essay "these students would no more cheat in exams than steal your pocketbook. The honor sentiment is honored in Kansas.
