UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas
Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the let of March 3, 1879.
The Daily Kamen aims to picture the ideal Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of the school; to be cheerful; to charitable; to be clean

A CITY'S SHAME
The spectacle of a city of 12,000 persons hobbling along year after year with an inadequate and impure water supply would be ludicrous, were it not pitiful.
Just why a supposedly enlightened citizen body should passively submit to such conditions as have existed in Lawrence for a long time past is more than the average student can understand. In some Kansas-communities the people would bowl so loud that they would be heard all over Kansas, and they would be justified in doing it.
Lawrence must have better water. The city owes it to the students, if the townspeople don't care about it themselves. Students spend a million dollars a year in Lawrence, and are at least entitled to pure water and plenty of it, just as they are to air.
If the citizens won't see that better water is provided, someone else will. Such a condition cannot continue.
COASTING
The city ordinance in regard to coasting has been flagrantly violated in the past two days.
Six high school students were arrested and fined today, and University parties will be treated the same way unless they adhere strictly to the law.
The ordinance prohibits coasting south of Warren street and west of Massachusetts before 11 o'clock p.m., and provides that a guard must be stationed at each street intersection. The guard must be appointed by the city, but paid for by the coasters.
Past events have proved that coasting even under any conditions is a highly dangerous pastime. Statute books are full of laws to keep individuals from hurting themselves—and there is no reason under the sun why regulations should not be on the Lawrence statute books, absolutely prohibiting coasting on the streets.
What little restriction there is should be rigidly enforced. The city is otherwise guilty of criminal negligence.
Lawrence is becoming notorious over the state as the city with a poor water supply, where the citizens are opposed to municipal ownership, although private ownership has never been a success, and where the lives of 2500 students are jeopardized with impure water because a municipality is too niggardy, or lacks enough spirit, to remedy outrageous conditions. How long, how long?
EXERCISE FOR STUDENTS
EXERCISE JOB STUDENTS
I see that they at college student does not get enough exercise. Long hours of study and lecture balls present grave difficulties for many students to work up bodily vigor. Offentimes they are heard to say, "I have been feeling tired all day." This is probably no time in life when a man or woman needs exercise more than at college. Brains of students
can ill afford to be sluggish or top pid.
Good circulation is necessary for good brain action. Perhaps the best way to get and keep good circulation is by means of exercise. When you go to a classroom after a basty meal, it helps to his room for study, he is not getting all that he should out of his college career. But this is what a great many energetic students are doing daily, conscientiously think about their best to get an education and preparation for the harder life to come.
A light form of physical exercise is compulsory for first year men. The time is not far distant when it meets the demands of all classes. Every student needs a certain amount of exercise. It stimulates and vitalizes the body and brain. Sluggerism must be worked out, and exercise with a healthy flow of fresh blood.
At present, Illinois has no great playground where all students can partake of exercise. But this is sure to grow. Browning conditions will necessitate it. Growing conditions will take part in competitive athletics, and few have time or ability for them. But all students can and should make it a part of their day's work to exercise a certain amount to train in health and study—Daily Ulli
THE KNOCKER
"After God had finished the rat tlesake, the toad and the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a 'knocker.' A knocker is a two-legged animal with a head, a body, a brain and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where other people have their hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When the knocker comes down the street, honest men turn their backs, because they lie in heaven and the devil shuts the case of how to keep him out. No man has the right to knock as long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in, or a rope to hang his carcass with. Judas Icarlart was a boy who knocked to a knocker, for after betraying his father, had enough character to hung himself, and a knocker has not."—Ex

The College Barber Says:
"Say, look out the window quick! Who is that girl in the blue suit all styled up to 1915? She sure is some eater. I see her in the cafe! I will five times a day, and she only has to pay about once in seven. Is that latter too cold? Always some overheat with hat to match wantin't to feed her but must be awful to popular and not be pretty. Guess that four speed tongue and them togs carries her along, though. Next gentleman!"
The clerk in a down-town bans charged Uncle Jimmy Green eight cents as a war tax on a loan the other day. As he left the window, Uncle Jimmy exclaimed: "Stamp tax on everything now! About all you can stamp without paying a war tax is your foot."
