The Duty Karim assists to picture the history of the University, to go further than merely printing Kansas to go further than merely printing Karim, and to play a university role. The University holds to play no vacancies; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to solve problems to help others; in all, to serve the ability of the students of the University.

It is not wise to be wiser than is necessary — Quinault.
A POOR EXCUSE.
When a businessman permits his customers the use of credit he has no one but himself to blame if he loses. He takes his chances.
The excuse of the pantatorium owners that they should not be compelled to go under bond because no one guarantees the accounts of students is a poor one.
Last year two pantatorium operators suddenly departed, taking with them a large amount of student money paid in advance.
Students should demand protection. The Student Council should exert every possible effort to see that they get it.
THE STUDENT UNION.
The campaign for new members to the Student Union was a failure.
However much students want a Union, it is not likely that they will seek out a councilman and ask him to take their dues.
If the present Student Council fails to make a go of the Union project it will have sacrificed its one best chance to be of any particular value to the students.
Good hard work and the solicitation of every man in the University is needed. Nothing like a spirited campaign was undertaken last week. Half the students on the Hill did not know a campaign was supposed to be in existence.
A GOOD PLAN.
university dramatics under the control of the department of public speaking is an excellent plan.
Dramatics is as legitimate a form of student activity as debate, but the slipshod method of organization and management which the clubs have had in years past has made it impossible for dramatics to occupy in proper place.
WHY NOT
The communication in the student opinion column of the Daily Kansan yesterday suggesting a parade of women at the Missouri game is worthy of consideration.
Women have few chances to display their loyalty. This is one.
The W. S. G. A. should consider the plan suggested. There are too few activities for women on the Hill.
A CHANCE FOR PRESIDENTS
Ordinarily a class presidency means little more than an additional honor to tack behind someone's name in the Jayhawk. This is not as it should be.
A class president has unlimited opportunities, chief among which are the chances to work for unity, better acquaintance, University spirit and all University movements.
Right now the class executives could confer an everlasting benefit
upon the University. The Student Union is a University affair, and class presidents, as the leaders of their classes, should get out and work for it. The Union needs it.
The Daily Kansan knows that two class presidents are willing at any time to call a meeting of their classes, and submit the matter of membership to them. It is always easy to get the freshmen in a body at hygiene class on Monday afternoons.
If the Student Council wants help in its Union campaign, and it apparently needs it, the plan offers wonderful opportunities.
TO THE FACULTY
The response of the faculty to the Daily Kansan's attempt to collect and publish their office hours is disappointing. Seventeen have filled in the cards that were sent out.
All that is necessary is to write the name, place, and hour on a blank, and drop it in a University mail box.
Perhaps the faculty wishes to conceal its office hours, and make itself inaccessible?
The plan is a good one, and would enable students to find their instructors, a thing that is oftentimes difficult at present.
The Kansan asks the faculty to elp.
A Song Offering
know that the day will come when my sight of this earth shall be lost, and life will take its leave in the past. We have the last curtain over my eyes.
Yet stars will watch at night, and morning rise as before, and heave like sea waves casting up pleasures and pains.
Whep I think of this end of my moments, the barrier of the moments breaks and I see by the light of death thy world with baskets of hearts; rare its lowest seat, rare is its meanest of lives.
Things that I longed for in vain, and things that I got—let them pass. Let me but truly possess the thing. I ever owned and overlooked.
The Gitanjali of Rabindranath Tagore.
Chasing the Glooms
He saw a peach across the way,
No, it was not peach.
Quick shift—a word—an answer gay
the neach became a pair.
Williams Purple Cow.
Stude (in geology expedition)—
Some I can't tell one of
those rocks from earth.
Prof—Tha'ts queer. You must be stone blind.—Cornell Widow.
"Young man, where is Mount Oread?"
Maid—Yes, ma'am, but he ain't hurt. He fell agin' the soft pedal. Texas Coyote.
"Gee, any fool knows where Mount Oread is."
Mistress—Was that Johnny heard crying just now?
"That is why I asked you. Where is it?"
A student is one who has a great opportunity to learn if he only had the time.—Ex.
Co-eed-Bill is quite a star as an after-dinner speaker.
Ed—Star. I should say so. He is a moon. The fuller he gets the brighter he becomes,—Texas Coyote.
"I like your cheek," the maiden said, kissed her rather crudely.
The man both saw and tasted red; "I don't like yours," he answered.
"Dicken's works all this week for $4.00," reads a sign in the book store. "Well, the dirty seab." exclaims a customer. "What a hard day's work in the shops—Ex."

THOSE KODAKS
Have you ever walked placidly along to or from classes, deeply or a wee bit engrossed—as the case may be—in the day's routine, only to be rudely taken out of your way by a tiny black box pointed at you? You stop suddenly. You turn all colors of the rainbow. You stammer out a surprised exclamation.
tion. Your first idea is to run away from the suspicious looking box, for what else could it be than a telltale camera?
Then, after several uncomfortable seconds have elapsed while the photographer is passing you, you turn around. You notice that she is a harmless looking young man now bowing curiously, watching her movements carefully. She lifts her up kid, and focuses it upon a bit of the golf links. A very pretty view, you say to yourself, and approve most heartily of her taste. Imagine your surprise when instead of clicking the shutter she takes a key key, gently opening the window. She gazes long at some interesting spectacle within. Then she takes up a tiny puff of some sort, dabs it in a little round box, and covers the surface of her face most painstakingly with the soft white mixture. She closes her box with a satin sleeve, and then moves in the directionof the Library where an evident "date" awaits her.
Favorite Yarns of Kansas Professors
Prof. Arthur MacMurray has this to report: "In being asked for my favorite 'funny' story, I must say that there are so many that are favorites with me that I shall write the first one that comes to mind. In this respect I will, no doubt, be somewhat less confident than was asked to write a composition.
The teacher said, 'Now children, you should not attempt any flights of fancy. Simply be yourselves and write what is in you.' Do not imitate the writing of other persons nor draw inspirations from outside sources. In purpose I have tried the life that wrote as follows: We should not attempt any flights but write what's in us. In me there is my stomick, lungs, hart, liver, two apples, one piece of pie, one stick of lemon candy and my dinner."
How can we supercivilized out of almost all real emotion, develop the potential charm of this first glimpse of a new personality? It is guarded by conventionality; the shatters are down, the door is barricaded; you enter with polite gestures, and no one appears at the window. Must we perforce set the house afire, snite or shriek aloud to bring this stranger's soul to his eyes for one searching gaze face to face? The time is so short—we must greet and pass on to the next; we exchange easy commonplaces, and we learn to defy custom and boldly snatch in that magic moment some satisfactory taste of warm human intercourse?—Gelet Burgess.
Getting Acquainted
With a sigh you turn away. "Pool-
again," you mutter between closed
eetn, "and by a girl."
Two lives moving in mysterious orbits are drawn together, and for an instant, or maybe for ever after, whirl side by side. We call the encounter an introduction, and we usually proceed to stifle the wonder of it by impersonal talk of art, books, or the drama. It is an everyday affair and does not commonly stir the imacrity of the experience. In living the meeting may be an event as well as an episode. He is a discoverer come to an unknown shore—it may be the margin of a boundless sea or not, but of a certain it is swung by new tides and currents to be adventured and plumbed.
Football is a waste of time and a relic of barbarism. A fellow goes down on the field at four-thirty, knocks himself and other fellows down until six o'clock and thinks he has developed "some form." But he has he? Not by a bloomin' lot. He grooves home to supper tired and hungry. He eats too fast and thereby misses the nutrition that he would ordinarily get from the food. After supper he sits down at his table and tries to study. But, nothing doing. He has had enough work for the day, and is full of thoughts. When he touched, he flunks in class the next day and suffers untortoises from skinned shoulders and sprained ankles.
And still, year after year, the University is wasting money buying armour for the heatens and fixing up McCook Field for their slaughters. It ought to be stopped. That's all there is to it. If I was in the state legislature I would introduce a bill prohibiting all kinds of slaughter in states with high rates of gun put an amendment on that bill to the effect that special privileges would be granted to butchers. Enough energy is wasted in the Missouri Valley by football squads daily to carry Brooklyn Bridge from the Atlantic to the Pacific and back. I'm no knocker, but—
