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 Kenan aims to picture the undergraduate student more firmly than merely printing the nines by standing up and asking her questions. To be clean; to be cheerful; to noay je客ries; t
CAPPER'S RECOMMENDATION
THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANU
Extract from Governor Capper's speech recommending the mill tax and other educational advancement: "
Hershey's and gum are to be serv at the junior mixer. Ye gods! Why not have flowers and cabs?
A tracer may also be sent for those coat hooks that were to be put in the Administration Building.
The freshmen and sophomores are to have an interclass basketball game. It would be well if more such contests could be arranged. The main criticism of collegiate athletics is that too few men participate.
WE WANT INVESTIGATION
Prayers have been abolished for quiz week. One of the faculty wonders whether it is on the theory there will be constant praying, or whether the students won't be in proper mood for devotion.
What has become of the Kansas City alumni investigating committee? Can it be that after all the noise was stirred up they are going to drop it? It's hardly fair, for the charges they made against the University cannot be substantiated, and it's only just to the University that it be "investigated."
THE MOTT CAMPAIGN
Although it is nearly two months distant, students are already manifesting a big interest in the Mott campaign.
Practically all events have been put aside at the request of the Y. M. C. A., and no student will have the least excuse for not participating in the meetings if he has any desire that way.
Disregarding the religious side of the meetings, no one can afford to miss them even then, for John R. Mott is worth knowing, and he will have an able corps of assistants.
DEDICATED TO PROFESSORS
Mr. Professor, quizzes are the quintessence of the refinement of twentieth century cruelty. They are relics of the days of drawing and quartering, of punishment on the racks and the stocks. They smack of the vengeful savage. They rival the trials of Job; they prove the Kansas stude a worthy scion of the house that stuck through the days of the grasshoppers and the Missourians. They cause him long hours of senseless boning; they bring him blue cards and disgrace.
They are conceived in suffering and
misery, they have their being in travail and anguish, and in their wake they leave heartaches, disgrace, and ruin. The student who survives the tortures of quizz week stands, gaunt but proud, among his fellows. Lo! He has escaped the steam-roller! He, like the Phoenix, has languished in flames, but shall live to languish again!
Quizizes make Lawn of College men; they make lamentics of Engineers, and they make demons of the Faculty. The only man who ever brought a smile when he referred to quizzes was Professor Kiesewetter, of blessed memory. This gentleman "von wunderschoenem blonden Haar" was wont to announce cheerily to his classes "Andt I haf a kiss for you tees morgen."
The word is derived from the Latin “quis,” meaning “what.” Hence it has the double meaning of which it is capable: (1) “What’s the use?”—the student’s viewpoint, and (2) “What do you remember that you never knew?”—the faculty viewpoint.
ARE YOU EDUCATED?
"If a person ever claims to be educated, you may be sure he is not," said Dr. Marion L. Burton, president of Smith College in a recent address before the Omaha alumnae of that institution. "It is impossible to be educated. We can only reach the state of becoming educated." Continuing, Dr. Burton said:
"Possession of a Phi Beta Kappa Key or honorary degrees, and the ability to pass college entrance examinations and stay in college are not necessarily proofs of education. They are only the outer marks of the probability of educational training. The real tests lie deeper. To be on the road to education, a person must have acquired a broad, general knowledge, including language, literature, science, fine arts, philosophy and so forth, and must possess an ability to concentrate and a passion for truth. What America needs most in educational lines is concentration.
"The surest test of the educated person is the absence of moods; the more moods the less education. America must not only learn to think correctly, but also to feel correctly. To use good judgment and common sense, and to be dependable and simply sane, is an important requirement."
"All about us are tendencies toward violent insanity and softening of the brain. We are overrun with a monstrous brood of heretics who see life only from their own little viewpoint. What we want is a generation of young men and women who recognize that life is dual, that it has two sides. To contribute to the world's life and to participate in it, broadly, generously and sane, is the meaning of education."
END OF THE WORLD Bv Willard Wattles
When Kansas skies and sunsets are no more.
When greening hills are leveled to the sea
While ocean storms sweep surging up the shore
Nay, when Atlantic and Pacific meet
And mingle their deep waters into
Of Colorado's granite dignity;
When poppies springing at California nia's feet
Forget their crimson beneath a pitiless sun;

The eligibility of Ray Folks was the cause of considerable discussion regarding the interpretation of the claim made with reference to eyn credit.
GYM CREDIT AND ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY
Last year Prof. E. W. Murray, chairman of the eligibility committee, appealed to the University Council for a decision as to how gym and hygiene should count, that is, whether or not they should count toward athletic requirements. The question that they should so count in freshman and sophomore years, but not in junior and senior years. The eligibility committee has been acting in accord with these instructions. The first case affected by the ruling was that of Ray Folks, who has in his junior year 2015 begun regime gym credit. He was declared inelegible because the gym, according to the Council ruling, should not count in the junior year. It seems that the Council rule was not known to Manager Hamilton, who informed Folks that he was eligible to the gym curriculum when passed so that few students and members of the faculty knew of its existence.
In view of these facts, the Chancellor, Mr. Hamilton and Professor Murray decided to give Folks the benefit of the doubt, and declare him eligible for participation in basketball.
An Explanation
The whole question of uniform requirements for eligibility is now being considered by the Missouri Valley Conference.
THE ANNUAL INTER-FRATERNITY CONFERENCE
more than one hundred delegates from thirty-four of the largest national college fraternities attended the sixth annual interfraternity conference held in New York City at the University Club last month. Two college Presidents, many college professors, and representatives county universities throughout the country participated in the meeting. That institutions have exercised an increasingly wholesome influence on college life since the inauguration of the first national interfraternity conference by President W. H. Faunce of Brown University was established by reports from seventy-five institutions. Of the colleges questioned forty-five answered that the fraternity influence for good had grown during the last ten years. Nocollege that their influence was buneal. It was also asserted that closer co-operation was being effected between the faculties and the students' secret organizations.
James B. Curtis, Delta Tau Delta, was elected president; H. H. McCorral, Phi Kappa Psi, secretary; O. H. Cheney, Sigma Tauamma, Dr. Ralph Sammon, Beta Theta Pi, the retiring president; J. D. Livingston, Delta Phi, dean; T. A. Clark, Alpha Tau Omega, Albert S. Bard, Chi Psi; Thomas W. Sternberg, W. Nymeyer, Zeta Psi, were chosen to the executive committee.—American Educational Review.
Where They Meet
At Texas, flunks are known among the students as "busts."
The interfraternity conference again went on record in support of high scholarship, sound morals, and cordial relationship between the societies. Reports of the result of efforts during former years have led to an executive body of the fraternities, their graduate members, and the traveling secretaries showed that the condition of living in the chapter houses was steadily bettering. Gambling and drinking in fraternity houses is almost generally forbidden.ourses are generally invaded, and there is a tendency to regard the chapter house as a genuine college home.
