The Daily Kavanan aims to picture the kind of students who go to karachi to go further than merely printing the news by starting up a student's ID card. The student is not supposed to be clean; to be cheerful; to charishtastic; to be creative; to be problem-solvers to water headers; in all, to絮起诉 the best of its ability the wisdom of the student.

He that plants thorns must never expect to gather roses. -Pilpay.
"THIS IS THE LIFE"
Nothing is more ridiculous than the clothing advertisements run in almost every current magazine at this season of the year, portraying the college student in a striped blazer, a mandolin on his arm, and a curved-stemmed pipe, either very bull doggish, or abnormally long, in his mouth, and a half a dozen or more similarly equipped comrades lolling about the room in attitudes of ease. Usually they are singing. Pennants adorn the walls.
This picture is a long long way from the truth, at K. U., at least. There is very little of the "rah-rah-college-bay" spirit, and what little there is stands in small favor. Students are here for business, and hard work. Smiling chapel speakers assure students they are having the best time in their lives—they are not always believed.
And the highly colored posters always portrait impossible situations, and impossible fashions. Students do not come up on Mt. Oread for four years of gay and festive living—they come for work, and if they do not work, they cannot stay.
STUDENT CHAPEL
The chapel question is still hanging fire. None of the plans yet tried have proved satisfactory—probably the 11 o'clock level of any.
The faculty has been unable to evolve a scheme that will induce students to come to chapel—why not let the students themselves, through the Student Council, have charge for a while? In fact, that is about the only plan that remains.
One thing is certain, a good chapel attendance cannot be expected when the hour is 11 o'clock. The temptation to stroll down off the Hill is a little too strong, in spite of the fact that last year the chapel committee had many excellent speakers.
THE STUDENT UNION
If K. U. is to have a permanent Student Union, the time to start is now. Plans were begun last year by the retired Council, and they must be vigorously pushed if anything is to be accomplished. The question must not be allowed to be forgotten.
It is a huge task to start the project on a successful course, but once started, it will be easy. Every student can help the Council by joining the temporary Union, for unless it is well-supported, it will look as if the students do not want a new Union, which is far from correct.
GET ACQUAINTED
The activities of the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A., this year have done much to establish acquaintance between the new students and the old, but they cannot do all. Everyone is a little homesick once in a while, whether he admits it or not, and
freshmen are particularly subject to the malady.
A word or two from an older student, or a little friendly advice, does much to make a freshman feel at home, and it is not much effort.
"A pigski filled with air and rubber, twenty-two men of bone and blubber, a kick and a pun-t—a tackle and grunt—a shin to swell and crowd to yell, a nose to bleed and a coach to heed—that's football." -Topeka State Journal.
It is not probable that Captain Jones, of the University K. N. G., will be swamped with applications for a place in the ranks at the present time, in spite of his call for more men.
Students should patronize none but bonded pantatoriums. It is safest, in the first place, and then the measure is a Student Council idea, and a good one, and deserves support.

By Willard Wattles
Have you heard the shiver of bodies
boiled
War
Chest on crashing chest
When thigh-bones snap like pistol shots
And men meet breast to breast?
And men meet bread to lunch.
Have you seen the feet of a madden
ded—wet with the wine of war
And wondered in crushing a come
What you had killed him for?
Ever the sweep of the wave of men
be the eel of lurged death
And frozen face like cockle-shells
Where the breaker billoweth.
The out-flung arm of a down-lipped boy
With his throat shot through:
With his throat shot through,
Perhaps his shoulder brushed your
Or be slept last night by you.
I have not shouldered the stick of death
Nor hoisted a haversack,
Nor slept at night in a swimming ditch
With a tap pain, we are seen.
Yet I have heard the bugle-call
My fathers listened for.
And seen the ebony hovy spurt red in the harvest: fields of war.
Men say the battle-shocks will en-
hold their dead corps ease.
Men say the battle-shacks end.
Nationally weaker, the nations knelt their welded hands.
In common-grounded cace:
There is no good, from a baby's birth
To the overthrow of Spain
That was not forged in sorrow's fire
That was not forged in sorrow's fire
And purified by pain.
You cannot charge the written scroll.
Ever must moaning women quail
And man make war on man;
Out of strength must sweetness come;
I thank my fathers for what they naid
We weld the metal and forge the key
To enter Paradise.
On the altar or the years,
I thank the women who gave me
In agony and tears;
I could not wish that life should ask
One payment less from me,
And the burble-call of the arming
The Inflated A. B.
And the bugle-call of the arming hosts
In the following excerpts from an article in the Nation, vocationalism and nationalism.
hosts Sets their old passion free.
agony and tears;
Not long ago a member of one of our university faculties, while seeking some recent literature in mathematical logic, discovered to his amazement that the room in which he had expected to find the mathematical seminary was equipped with six gas ranges and a complete outfit of pots and pans. Continuing his search, he was confronted in the next room by a number of the owner's "forms." for the note below he found one of the designer's business classes in the art of bookkeeping. And not far away one class was receiving instruction in the elements of machine-work, another in the elements of joinery. All of these were courses in "the college of liberal arts"; and in all of them the students, with a satisfaction not unmixed with humor, were receiving credit towards the degree of bachelor
of arts. In this connection we learn that one of the most distinguished state universities, where credit is given for football, rejoices in the possession of a hat-trimming expert. Clearly, this is an academic age. In the state of Michigan one cannot settle comfortably into a barber's chair without such a fortitude that the man behind the chair has successfully passed his canonical examinations—though not yet in the State university. But it is only a question of time when the tonoral art will take its place among the other liberal arts and when, in decency and consistency, it few distinguished members of this, as well as of the gastrocnemic and sartorian disciplines, have been from time to time with the honorary degree of doctor of laws.
Clearly nothing is more important than a fine intelligence in the home, but so far there is no evidence to show that such intelligence is developed through domestic science. It is a little hard to believe that any laboratory of cooking can be informed in informing power with that to be gathered in a well-ordered kitchen in a household that respects good food.
The real question, however, is whether proficiency in the arts of cooking, or sewing, or joinery, or what not (and why not, then, the tonsorial art?)-a proficiency, we must remember, which is likely to be surpassed by that of men and women of little education who have practiced the crafts—is to count towards a degree which by common consent has been reserved hitherto for the recognition of liberal culture?
In the state universities, which are mainly responsible for enrolling domestic science among the instruments of culture, its purpose is frankly that of advertising, of "make people university strong with the people."
The truth is that, amidst all the emphasis laid upon practical ends and all the scorn both of the humanities and of pure science, vocationalism is ill at ease without the social stamp of culture. In estimating the vocational motive to which our colleges, and first among them the supposedly democratic state universities, are now appealing for an increase of numbers, this element must not be ignored. The more we wry, while ministering, as they profess, to the most varied needs, they prefer to recognize no distinction either of value or of character in undergraduate studies. Not an honest democracy, where each subject and each man stands squarely upon his own feet, is the end in view, but a spurious aristocracy.

FABLES UP TO DATE

The University of Chicago is building a Classics Building and Rosenwald Hall for geology and geography, each to cost about a quarter of a million, and Ida Noyes Hall, a club house for women.
A Kansas farmer, who was a lover of nature, and also a keeper of sheep was walking through a pasture lot and stoope ddown, to pick a tender flower. And as the agriculturist topped up to clot the blossom, a large and vigorous ram, allured by the prospect, took a running sheep hitting the farmer near the base of the spine, turning a somersaulted ampelled him about two rods through the atmosphere. For an hour or two after that the ram had considerable fun talking the thing over with a crowd of sheep and describing the manner in which he had knocked out the agriculturist. But the following day the farmer returned with a gun and killed the ram and dressed him and sold his carcass to the uniformed for lamb chops. And as one of the ram's companions saw the farmer carrying the remains of her former consort, she said to a sleek lamb that was taking some gymnastic exercises near by: "My son, I observe that you show a disposition to be unduly gay. Take warning from the fate of your father, and remember that there is such a thing as carrying a joke too far."
The University of Illinois has a great hall capable of saitening 11,000. It is used for farmers' conventions, as an armory, and for indoor grifon and diamond. New buildings recently completed or in progress include an educational building, a new museum wing to the Commerce building, an addition of stock room to the library, and a new observatory.
The University of Oregon has a new hundred thousand dollar administration building, and has received a gift of twenty acres for the building of a new medical building and a hospital.
