The Daily Kansan aims to picture the past of Kansas to go further than merely printing the news by standing up for its factions; to be clean; to be charitable; to be charitable; to be clean
MONDAY, OCTOBER 12. 1914.
UNIFORM ACCOUNTING.
Treasurers of student organizations will welcome the announcement by James T. Lardner, financial secretary to the Board of Administration, that student organizations are soon to be provided with uniform accounting systems.
The annual audit by the University will be more easily conducted, the books will of necessity have to be kept in a legible manner, and student business will be conducted in a business-like way.
START NOW.
If the Student Council is to put on an effective campaign for the mill tax through the agency of county clubs, the time to start is now.
MEMORIALS FOR ALL.
The organization is necessarily unwieldy, and hard to open, but once started, it can, through its central organization, do much toward making the mill tax a reality.
It looks as if the class of 1914 has established a precedent by erecting a memorial.
The classes evince much interest in the projects, and the chances for the establishment of a permanent custom are good.
Don Joseph, president of the senior class, has announced that he will appoint a memorial committee. The sophomore and senior class memorial committee appointments were made today.
WRITE HOME
Two thousands "dads" in Kansas have been called upon a second or third time, to rescue a son or daughter, floundering in a sea of bills for board, room, books, and incidentals.
Each one of these dads is now beginning to wonder whether the University is giving him his money's worth. To send a young man or woman through the University costs money and many parents are put to considerable inconvenience to send their children.
In the face of no more tangible requirements than a bristly pompadour, or a new party gown, many of these parents are skeptical of the good the University is doing. They are inclined to consider the money spent on their sons and daughters a poor investment. Some may even withdraw their children from the University.
Of course students know that they are getting their money's worth. Their parents would realize it if they should spend a week or two here.
Students ought to write home. They ought to write long letters and tell what is going on here—something else besides line parties and stages. And if students are really desirous of increasing their allowance, they could do it most easily by sending the Kansan home every day.
In the opinion of Mrs. Frank Strong one of the good standard
freshman jokes is becoming stale. A junior was told to call up 1318 yesterday and ask for "Frank." The Daily Kansan agrees that it is high time to "ring off."
An example of the joys of editing a paper. The editor finds out that a plan has been suggested for a football game at Kansas City between the Haskell Indians and K. U. to help the Red Cross in Europe. He talks it up a little. The next night when he picks up the paper he finds that some ambitious cub has informed the public through a headline that the talk was entirely unwarranted.
Prof. Erasmus Haworth has had a rock named for him, but his namesake can hardly be said to be a chip from the old block.
No student, it is said, will be so small that his picture will not be in the 1915 Jayhawker. But will there be room for Tom Mulloy's?
Among secrets which the Kansas editor will not divulge is the name of the reporter who in a story yesterday asked the women of the University if they wore false hair.
Lord Chesterfield's Letters to His Son in College
Dear Boy: Before it is very long, I am of the opinion that you will both think and speak more favorably of women than you do now. You seem to think from Eve downwards they have done a great deal of mischief, but since her time, history up to you: But since her time, history inform you, that men have done much more mischief in the world than women; and, to say the truth, I would not advise you to trust either more than is absolutely necessary. But this I will advise you to, which is never to attack whole bodies of men, and to teach them general rules have the exceptions, unnecessarily make yourself a great number of enemies, by attacking a corps collectively. Among women, as among men, there are good as well as bad; and it may be full as many, or more, than among men. This rules holds as to lawyers, soldiers, courts, citizens, etc. They are all involved with the same problems and sentiments, differing only in manners, according to their several education; and it would be as imprudent as unjust to attack any of them by the lump. Individuals forgive sometimes; but bodies and societies never do. Many young people think it very genteel and witty to abuse women, and the same poisonings tremely mistaken; since in my opinion, parsnions are very like men, and neither the better nor the worse for the wearing a black gown. All general reflections, upon nation and societies are trite, threadbare jokes of having any, and so have recourse to the wrong men, who can harm from your own knowledge of them, and not from their sex, profession or denomination.
Though at my return, which I hope will be very soon, I shall find your feet lengthened. I hope I will find your head a good deal more so, and then I shall not much mind your head in this way. When my return, and I shall part for some time; you must go to read men as well as books, of all languages and nations. Observation and reflection will then be very necessary to you. We will talk the matter over fully when we meet; which I hope we be in the last week of this month; till then I have the honor of being.
Your most faithful servant.
Favorite Yarns of Kansas Professors
"A Chinese lecturer once said that Americans were not the first to discover digestive fluids. One day a Chinaman while out strolling came across a large snake which had just swollen from its swelling. The ox's head pushed the snake's skin far out at one place, and its feet at another. The snake, with its load, immediately crawled up to a weed and took a bite of it. The swelling gradually went down, the skin became smaller and no longer the snake was again its normal shape and size. The Chinaman, intending to play a joke on his friends, took a piece of the weed and went to a nearby inn. He seated
NO INDIGESTION THERE.
Professor Stevens tells the following story:
himself upon a stool and ordered a bowl of rice. He ate it, took a bite of the weed, then ordered some more. He swallowed the rice as fast as it could be brought to him, much to the amusement of the waiters. But suddenly he spilled some milk and silk onto the stool into the floor, while the rice remained heaped high up on the stool. The weed had digested the Chinaman instead of the rice."
STUDENT OPINION
JOIN THE UNION
It is up to every man in the University to get behind the Student Union and boost. It is in a critical period of its growth, and to put off joining may mean the defeat of the union proposition.
We expect in the future to have action taken on the permanent union question, and to have a favorable relationship with unions, want a union. It is your fight—every individual should assume responsibility of not only procuring a membership for himself, but should see that the other fellow joins too.
Freshmen who do not understand the proposition can find out from George O. Foster or W. O. Hamilton to explain why he glad to talk about the project, too.
Let's make the membership unanimous.
Every man can spare two dollars a year for membership by cutting a dance or a few picture shows. It's a trade-off, but it works well for K. U, will suffer if it fails.
Other schools have student unions which are very successful. Let us show our belief and loyalty in K. U. Join today. It is your enterprise, counselor and sign up for a membership. Then solicit someone else.
Few that the Councilmen see refuse to join. But it is a big task to see every man in the school. Don't wait for a Councilman—hunt one. Show your interest in the school—it's your chance to help.
Vic Bottomly,
Student Council.
NOW, ARE YOU EDUCATED?
A professor in the University of Chicago told them he should consider them educated in the best sense of the word when they could say yes to every one of the questions that the Utterschrift Dismash. Here they are:
Has education given you sympathy with all the good causes and made you proud?
Have you learned how to make friends and keep them?
Has it made you publie-spirited?
Has it made you a brother to the world?
Do you know what it is to be a friend yourself?
Can you look an honest man or a purse woman in the eye?
Do you see anything to love in a little child?
Will a lonely dog follow you in the street?
Can you be high minded and happy in the meest drudrievers of life?
Do you think washing dishes and hoeing corn just as compatible with high thinking as piano playing or golf?
Can you look out on the world and see anything except dollars and cents?
Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see a clear sky? Can you see anything in the puddle but mud?
We are not surprised that the European nations established a censorship or war news. We, too, would be ashamed to have the world know what was going on—University Missourian.
Are you good for anything yourself?
Fresh- Why do they call the porter "Log?"
Can you look into the sky at night and see beyond the stars ?
Can you be happy alone?
U. C.-Short for logarithm. They are always looking him up—Illinois Street.
The largest football score made by a K. U. team was in 1912 when Kansas beat St. Mary's 62 to 0. The next largest score is 56 to 0, made in 1897 against Iowa, and against Midland College in 1895. The first game of the present season, with William Jewell, resulting in a score of 48 to 2, is the third largest score on K. U. records.
