Entered as second class mail master September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1879.
The Daily Kannon aims to picture the daily lives of students at the University of Kansas (UK) (together with the news by standing for the ideas presented in the book). To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be problem solver; to be patient and to solve problems to wear shoes in oil, to show its ability the students of the University.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1914.
All honor will be due the sophomore class if it carries out its plans of making a house to house cavannas of sophomore students if the interests of the Student Union. Other classes will do well to follow the example.

THEY PLAY TOMORROW
Debating this year seems to be arousing more interest than last, as it should. Declamation in the old days, and in many of the present-day schools, is the leading student activity after football. With dramas on a higher plane than ever before, K. U has reason to be proud. Perhaps she is not going to the eternal bow-wows after all.
Another indication of the spirit that will be behind the K. U. team next fall is the widespread interest being manifested in class football. Never before have the games come so near to accomplishing their object—the development of new material for the Varsity.
It is now generally conceded that one of the reasons K. U. has been less successful in football than she might have been is because too few men were out. The interest in class football would indicate that next year there will be little complaint on this score.
TALK ABOUT IT
Students returning home for the Christmas holidays should lose no opportunity to work for the mill tax. A few hours spent in hunting up the legislators and conferring with them will accomplish a world of good. The mill tax is a good thing, and when this becomes generally known, the state institutions will get it, for Kansas eventually gets all good taws. It is only a question of time, and the time can be shortened.
Students of the University can do much to help make the law a reality.
The federated county clubs have commenced work in a businesslike manner, and under the direction of the general officers the efforts of the individual clubs will be of much greater consequence.
STILL CONSIDERING IT?
"Plans for a Union Building at the University and plans for financing such a venture are at present under consideration by the Council of the W. S. G. A. and Mrs. Brown."—Daily Kansan of May 26, 1914.
Apparently the plans are still under consideration, for nothing at all has been heard of the women's union project this year.
And dormitories, too. It seems that once, in the far, dim and distant past, we heard something about what the K. U. women were going to do to help get dormitories. In one of the largest Universities in the country the women raised half the money for a dormitory.
THE SOUR OWL
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"The Sour Owl" is a disgrace to the University. It would be beneath the dignity of any class society that is representative and tries to do good for the University. Perhaps it a credit to that organization called Owl, but what would not be a credit to it? Afters reading their publication is it possible imagine anything touching on vulgarity that would not please their sense of humor?
Will the publishers of this paper be punished? If not, why? If they are to be punished, by whom and when? The student Council does not write Chancey or Senate do something; is it okay that they see such an unlimited amount of clean wit in the "Sour Owl," that it has their approval?

THE WATER SITUATION Editor, the Daily Kansan
Editor, the Daily Kansan:
It strikes me that you are overlooking the main point in your report of the water situation. Long before a quantity of the water came in for criticism, it was ent that the quality of the water was bad, putting it mildly. Most of us found out about the scarcity of the water long before the Kansan reported it.
It would interest those of us who are not yet internally coated with water scum, to know what is the matter with the water, even when there is enough to go around. Your University chemists have made a study of the question, and have made a chemical analysis of Lawrence water. Why not tell the public about it?
If people throughout the state knew of the water condition here, there would be fewer persons from other portions of the state in attendance at • the University. The university would therefore see what the matter was then done, instead of compelling us to drink water as we would take a dose of castor oil—holding the nose so that it will not taste or smell.
If pure water is tasteless, Lawrence water must come from something akin to "the old swimming hole" in late summer. Let us have some straight facts on the question of quality.

Garnett Review: It is reported that there are a number of cases of typhoid fever at Manhattan, and several of the students at the Agricultural College have been sent home. In one case, as typhoid fever, eye-strain, malaria, weak heart action, tonsilitis and numerous other chronic ailments generally become popular with college students about this time of the year similarly among the Freshmen. Diagnosis requires the home-coming malady to approaching examinations and wobble class grades.—Ed.)
Prof. Seldon L. Whitecomb, of the department of English, is one of the contributors to the first number of the Midland Magazine, of Iowa City, Iowa, which will make its appearance December 20.
As stated in an editorial announcement the Midland will provide a medium of literary expression for the region of the middle West.
CLASS ROOM ANTICS
Kindergarten days are not yet over for some University students.
Looks around in the last available seats in the class rooms, their feet on the chair in front of them, some few of those who unrunk (Wh-wait a minute) at the footniture of Eternal Youth prepare to amuse themselves while the professor earns his salary.
Pandora's Box
Haven't you seen it? Well, when I turn the chair around, take a peek and do the kid a favor. He's been holdin' his coat back for ten minutes he'll run to Fanny how a freshman that's made him always wants to display his vest. I've grown a lot of them that always had a cold hand in their pants pocket, but holding their coats on a mike. Combed wet or dry? Wet? Naw, Combed wet or dry? Wet? Naw, a mighty nice kid and bexter. He's all willhove forgotten to wear his pin 3 or 3½ inches from his vest button. Next!
CLASS ROOM ANTICS
"Ouch," ejaculates one, under pretense of pain, as a pin penetrates his right shoulder. "Have a care, or I will biff you one." The teacher waits patiently—or impatient—according to the severity of the pin-prick and his own hunger-pangs as twelve-thirty approaches.
The College Barber Says:
"The fellows are getting tired of having to work so hard on your assignments," whines another. "I put in over seven hours last week." Loud acknowledgements of approval on the part of his colleagues in laziness.

tee-tee-hee, that nearly kills me"

fewer, or better remark made by the professor. Not sure this manifestation of delight they must needs continue their grimming or riggling appreciation, incidentally, original joke those cute side-linings.
For your Christmas parties. Ice cream in any special design. Reynolds Bros.--Adv.
Sigma Nu will give a house party tonight.
Not content with the entertainment-provided by the instructor and feeling the necessity of being amused, some few match pennies during the hour. "I match you," one will yell in a stage whisper.
Then at the sign of the whistle they begin to stretch and gather up their books. Such an air of self-friendliness from their faces that they obliged the professor and came to class that day instead of cutting.
