U, 25 Address all communications to 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. Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879. TUESDAY, JANUARY 12, 1915. Eat, drink, and be merry, for to morrow the quiz schedules are out. Professors read papers, says a headline. Next they'll be telling us that professors teach. If Barnes would have his pigs fed occasionally, they wouldn't try to eat his fingers. If Professor Schwegler's "Five Keys to Power" is anything like "Seven Keys to Baldpate," he will get large crowds. Home economics students published dinner menus for the poor, the middle class and the rich. Which resembles your average dinner the most? Boston is in mourning because the price of beans has gone up 50 per cent. We should worry—hash is as cheap as ever. Dean Sayre's proposed University greenhouse would make a fine conservatory for students majoring in campusology. The success attained by Willard Wattles' book of poems, "Sunflowers," was not at all surprising. It was well-merited. If the Student Union is allowed to go under because of lack of support, people will begin to believe that there is truth in the allegation that the students lack spirit. If the Student Union is put on a satisfactory basis it will mean much to future students. It is a big step to a permanent Union. If the present Union succumbs, however, it will take years to get the project under way again. Students of the University cannot afford to let the Student Union die. It is a beginning, small it is true, toward a Union that will compare with those of other schools. If the project is allowed to expire it will take years to revive it. SLEEPING Doctor Naismith says we don't sleep enough. Nine rahs for Doc be has the right idea. We always thought it was something besides laziness or original sin that made us hate to pile out in the morning. We see now that it was our poor abused system calling for needed rest. Four hour nights may be all right for young Thomas A. Edison, but meat of us need our nine hours. After grinding away till half past eleven on messages to the legislature, or the culture of rhus toxicodendron, or the whichness of the what, we have always felt that it was an outrage to have to get up at seven and start to work again. And then be landed on for taking an occasional nap in class. If we follow Doctor Naismith's suggestion we won't get up till nine. This will do away with the despised eight o'clock classes and enable us to stay awake while our professors are laboring on us. Everybody will be healthier and happier. The doctor says "The majority of students sleep too little and work too much." Such a shocking condition calls for instant action on the part of both students and faculty. As beginning, we suggest a complete vision of the curriculum and class schedules; rest rooms in every building; the suppression of unnecessary morning noises; and the abolition of alarm clocks. PREREQUISITE WORK The steadily increasing enrollment of men in the College shows conclusively that the prerequisite college work, necessary for admission into most Kansas professional schools, is not taking men away from the University. For every one lost by such rulings, there should be more than one gained, for the efficiency of a professional school must be greater if men of more mature years and judgment compose the classes. The law schools of the large state institutions throughout the country recognize that men just out of high or preparatory schools are not capable of getting the benefit from a course in law that a better educated person would get. Michigan, which for years admitted men directly from the high school, now requires at least two years of college work preparatory to admission into the law school. Leland Stanford requires three years of successful college residence preliminary to registration at her law school, and the best law schools in the country, Columbia and Harvard, require graduate standing. An institution which now desires to turn out professional men, whose work will measure up to the standard set by men from the good schools, must require some preliminary college residence, before granting admission to any professional department. NO PEANUTS! Once more the liberty of the poor downtenden stude is about to be infringed upon by a heartless faculty. This time it is the University marshal who is candidate for the title of head tyrant, and his harsh decree touches the very springs of democracy. He says we mustn't eat peanuts in the Gym! How, we rise to inquire, is one to enjoy a "basketball game properly without peanuts between acts? They are as necessary to life and the pursuit of happiness on such occasions as at a circus or baseball game. Can you imagine yourself hanging over a balcony rail, rooting your head off for minutes at a stretch, and then recuperating successfully without peanuts? Certainly you can't. It's outrageous, not to say preposterous. Without peanuts we can have no more indoor circuses, no more vaudeville shows (every cloud has a silver lining) no more freshman frolics, no more Thanksgiving and Christmas parties in the Gym. To attempt any of these would be a hollow mockery. The memory of the lost peanut would hover o'er the scene and darken the brilliance of the occasion. For pure pleasure, aesthetic satisfaction, stimulating and restorative qualities, nothing can compare with the rich, ripe, juicy peanut. It brightens the eye, clears the complexion, makes the hair long and curly. And why, fellow students, is the peanut to be torn ruthlessly from our grasps? "Because of the clutter that is left on the floor after they have been used." Huh! What are janiors for, anyway? We want peanuts, and lots of 'em. The attendance at the University church services Sunday night should furnish the W. Y. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. material for optimism for the Mott campaign. The fact that 200 came were not enough for all of Sunny day shows that the students really are interested in the work of the Associations. Subscribe for the Daily Kansan. Have you ever heard of me? My name is Opportunity. Universally am I misunderstood. Many doubt that I exist in the idealism of fiction and the unrealness of day dreams. I an usually pictured as a fleeting will-o'the-wisp, eluding all but the one in the million who feels the touch of my magic wand and finds himself soaring to heights unexpected. They wrong me who say that I come but once in a lifetime. The Bard of Stratford did me an injury the affairs of man, which neglected causes the life to be bound in "shallows and in miseries." Every day I stand at your door. I bid you go and go forth to success each more. When once you obey and climb, I do not stand aside and make you continue against great odds unassisted. I am at your side always. I point out where you should place your best foot for you to follow me. Be patient for you to follow me. I lead you on to fortune, but I cannot compel you to obey me. I live in the present and in the future. I let the dead bury the dead. I do not, like Might-have-been, point backward to show you where I stood. to remind you of what is happening to you in vain. I do not punish you by my absence after you refuse to see me ahead at the cross-ways. I forget and forgive. Every man and every woman finds me willing and eager to help after the darkness of night, to help a child dry off the clouds of yesterday are in the clear sky at sunrise. No day but I will continue to be near you. You are Aladdin, and you have me at your service when you say the magic words, "I can." You have recognized me many, many times, I know, and you will's St recognize me often in the future, fury If I am Opportunity—Exchange, 's picture WHERE ARE YOU GOING, good WORLD? The rain falls rough on the roof; The team jolts by on the road— OPPORTUNITY Hearts that are false and foul Hidden in crates of guile— Packets of joy and grief; Barrels of coin and chaff- Where are you going, World? And why does your Driver laugh? And where are you going, World! And what have you got in your load? Bales of hypocrisy, crime; Lies tied up like the truth- Where are you going, World?—And why does your Driver smile? Where are you going, World? Did your Driver speak, forsooth? Was it the rain in gusts, Or did your Driver speak? Where are you going, World? Hark! How your axles creak! Sounds like a roar of mirth Over a monstrous joke— Where are you going, World? With Life and Death for a yoke? Here in my load I've got All the sins of the race- Where are you going, World? To plant them in furrows of space. What shall you reep from the wrongs? What shall you win from the clod? Where are you going, World? The ultimate truth of God. Why does the Teamster laugh? Laughs at a Financier— Where are you going, World? Feigns to be rolling my Sphere. —Harrison S. Morris, in the Satu day Evening Post. Going to mingle his dust into the room of force Where are you going, World? Over my hidden course. The fact that the first edition of the book of Kansas poems put out by Willard Wattles has been sold should go a great way in disproving the assertion that Kansas has no taste for poetry and art.
