Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kaman nails to picture the lives of students in Kansas to go further than merely printing the news by email or sending it no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to wus headers; to more serious problems to alumni; to the students of the University.
THURSDAY, MAY 28.
OR WILL THEY COOPERATE?
The plans for the Women's Union are excellent. If the men have a general meeting place, why can't the women do the same?
Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing. O mountains: for the Lord hath com-
mings upon his afflicted—1sa, silix. 1xl3,
The year 1914-15 should see the liveliest race between the Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A that has ever been held on the Hill.
Which Council is most competent? Which will be the first to erect its Union?
WANTED—40 SENIORS.
Now that the site for the senior memorial has been chosen, the contract let, and four-fifths of the money collected, the class of 1914 can breathe a sigh of relief and settle back in its chair with a feeling of contentment—almost.
The one drawback which remains before assuming such a self-satisfied air is the little matter of that other one-fifth of the money.
Forty seniors at fifty cents per classman spells twenty dollars—and happiness. Look up the committee-man from your school and pay up. The senior class wishes to feel easy in its mind.

Quiz Week.
A BUSINESS AFFAIR.
This is an advertisement.
After devoting columns and columns of space on the editorial page trying to prevail upon the students to support this and that "student enterprise" the Daily Kansan has a word or two today to say about itself.
We are making a special offer this week to any student or professor who desires to read the Summer Session Kansan during the summer for nothing. Send us fifty cents and your summer address and we will give you fifty cents worth of the Daily next fall, besides the summer paper, which will be mailed free.
The additional advantage of starting your subscription with the first copy next year is obvious. Two dollars may be mailed any time next fall up to November 1 if you want the Daily to continue throughout the year, until June 1, 1915.
To fraternities and other organizations we make another proposition
Send us the cash in advance for ten subscriptions for next year and we will not only mail out ten Summer Session Kansans but we will present the chapter with a bound volume of this year's paper.
And believe us, no volume of the Kansan has ever contained, accounts of more exciting happenings on Mount Oread than the one for 1913-14.
EASTERN SCHOOLS COOPERATE
Further evidence of the tendency toward cooperation between New England colleges comes to hand in the announcement that next week a number of Harvard students will go to the Worcester Polytechnic Institute for instruction in certain phases of electrical railway operation. This may well be a step in the interchange of facilities by some of our institutions and training in new equipment, one or more departments that possess more than the average reputation and there seems to be no good reason why special efficiency should not be allowed to contribute to the general good rather than to be confined to the college where it happens to rest. Such a procedure might very well prevent the duplication of expensive scientific equipment and, as such, reduce the financial burden, on the student. In the particular case under consideration, it may be stated that for Harvard the institute has remarkable good facilities for electrical railway research, not the least of which is the far-famed test car—Boston Transcript.
Extracts From K. U.
Congressional Record
The Senate met at 4:30 o'clock p. m.
The prosecutors recorded the proceedings and appraised them.
Senator GREEN. I wish to report that my colleague from the School of Law is unable to attend, being out of town, and stressed at a high school commencement.
Senator VAN DER VRIES. The attendance of the senior Senator from the School of Education is not possible for a similar reason.
Senator PUTMAN. My colleague,
Mr. Boynton, is unable to be present
because of a special examination
which he is conducting at this time.
THE VICE PRESIDENT. I have before me a resolution passed by the Men's Student Council, declaring the University Senate null and void, and asking that all members of the body, the aforementioned Student Council, the petition, which the clerk will read, states that there is no further reason for a Senate, and that the Council, since the recent election, is capable and willing to assume what is required and responsibilities to forebear belonging to the University Senate.
Senator FOSTER. Mr. President, inasmuch as Spring is now here and summer is rapidly approaching, and the weather is not conducive to much other work than that of instructing the young, and inasmuch as the Students are required to acquire many cares and responsibilities, I move that we accept this kind offer, and fold our tents like the Arabs, and silent steal away.
No, Terose, the members of the Daily Kansan Board do not feel that they will have any better success dar- lai because because they issued a religious edition.
Senator STEVENS. I am in hearty accord with the sentiments of the Senator from Fraser Hall, and I wish to second his motion.
Freshmen burn quite a lot of midnight oil during the school year, but the parents back home don’t believe them. A group coming in — Ohio State Sun-Dial.
The VICE PRESIDENT. If there is no further discussion, the clerk will put the question to a vote. (After a wait while the ballots were being counted.) The motion is carried without a disentering vote. I therefore declare this body permanently adjourned.

ENDS AND ODDLETS
The appropriate time for Memorial Day would be the Saturday after quiz week instead of the Saturday before.
Zero in achievement is that of an Ohio man who boasts that he has not been kissed in forty years.
THE PERENNIAL PASSION.
In the spring a young man's fancy
Lightly turns to thoughts of love;
As for winter, fall and summer,
He but thinks of (—use above).

WITH K. U. POETS
THE LADY AND THE LOAFER.
Just where our broad Snob Boulevard cuts Quiet Street half way.
By Kate Stephens, 75.
A not uncommon lady, with frills and
hairbands!
A lady met a loafer in the street one day—
and an ordinary loafer, I hasten to say,
wealth from having work each day.
East from having work each day.
The lady gathered in her skirts, and to the lafer, and
A loafer's a degenerate—a man's ambition dead—
laxily! and fill your hands with work,
and earn your meat and bread!
The loafer, dazed, pulled at his pipe;
then answered, "Honor bright!"
"Yes," replied the loafer.
Away! and do some human work, you social parasite"
You too're a loafer, lady; to loaf you
think's your right;
They both passed on—as they will go until God's time is rice;
She finished with other Overcrows and played at bridge till night;
he talked of sports athletic, and pulled
at cigarette and pine.
CAMPUS OPINION
IN MEMORIAM.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
This time of year there is much sorrow and a great deal of pleasure for the University students.
After many years of hard work the success of becoming a member of K. U. alumni causes joy to many hearts. The parting of schoolmates is hard, though the anticipation of renewed friendship is in mind.
One of the sad remembrances of hundreds of students is the passing away of Alice Coleman. Probably no one in Lawrence has been in touch with as many students and professors as this whole soured, generous woman. She was an early character in an ordinary character Mrs. Coleman never lost her cheerful, dignified bearing. Former students of Kansas University returning to visit their dear old University were so often heard to say their return to Lawrence would lose much of its enjoyment. Some of my faculty speeches to Mrs. Coleman, who always greeted them with a welcome that came from her heart. L. I. C.
THE TREND OF ATHLETICS.
There are quite a number of men in school who will recall the wave of interclass athletic activity which swept over the University several years ago. There was keen rivalry between classes in football, basketball and baseball and the interclass percentage table was studied almost as closely as is the varity percentage column at college. In these days, the honors were evenly divided and the upper-classmen were on an equal footing with freshmen in every sport. In fact, it was the rule for the under classmen to 'ose'.
There seems to have been a gradual change in the aspect of class athletics. The freshmen have steadily improved in all branches of sport and are now able to maintain a perfect percentage throughout the season is thought to be an indication of poor varsity material for the coming year. It has become an established belief that upperclassmen should lose and the men who give time and energy to the work these teams are not fully appreciated.
The trend of sentiment toward this department of Purdue activities is disappointing. While other universities of the country are doing everything possible to encourage a wider application of athletics and making an effort to induce the greatest number of men to participate. Purdue sports officials say this is discouraging to those who believe that athletics should appeal to the average man as well as to the highly developed athlete, it should be remembered that the decrease of interest in interclass football, baseball and basketball has been accompanied with a wonderful increase of interest in wrestling, tennis and track. At the same time more men have been retained on the varsity teams in these acts from the standpoint of the general student body is better represented in athletics today than at the time when the interclass games were at the height of popularity.
There is a wonderful opportunity in the present system of athletics. Tennis and wrestling have opened up new fields for students who do not care for the other sports. Track and cross country are gaining in favor with the man who have not had an opportunity for individual coaching. In fact the time has come when almost all athletes may find recreation in a number of varieties without going into the game for a highly specialized training. In this respect, the trend of Purdue athletics has been a benefit. The one feature which needs attention is the slump in interclass contests—Purdue Daily Exponent.
