The Daily Kannan aims to picture the students of University Kannan to go further than merely print the news by standing for the favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to uker head; to tell the students of the University.
FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1914.
To err is human; to forgive, divine.—Pope.
REAL ADVISORS.
The most pleasing change that the college faculty has made in the rules this spring, from the student angle, is the abolition of the old advisor system for the upper classes and the substitution of the departmental advisor arrangement.
In the past the "advisor" for the junior or the senior merely acted as a clerk on enrollment day—and the student was left on his own resources to get the courses he desired. Under the new system the student picks out his major department, then he goes to that department and gets actual advice, not stenography.
Since a professor in a given department ought to know more about the needs of a student who is specializing in that department than any other instructor, the new plan will undoubtedly be highly satisfactory for everybody concerned.
TOO MANY MANAGERS
The protest made by the editor and manager of the 1915 Jayhawk against the Council's participation in the business of issuing the annual is well founded.
The financial success of this year's annual seems assured and there is no obvious reason why next year's book will not fare as well. Since the financial failures of former years was the only excuse for the Council's assistant-managers, such participation for next year appears useless.
TROPHIES FOR DEBATERS
Only the inter-collegiate debaters deserve the gold watch fobs. That is the decision of the Debating Council committee and it is just, as far as the watch fobs are concerned—but why not go a step farther and encourage the ordinary debaters in the various societies by offering some trophy to the organization which comes out victorious in an intersociety contest each year?
The time is too short for a trophy to be won this spring but the Council has plenty of time to announce such plans for next year. Then, the debating societies would start work in September with renewed enthusiasm.
The Board of Administration, in its recent report to the governor, deplored the decadence of literary societies, so the Debating Council will have encouragement from the highest administrative authority, in any effort to furnish such societies an incentive for renewed activity.
MORE RESTRICTION.
Gradually the last lingering chances for the a-little-under-the ordinary student to obtain a degree
at the University are snatched away by the ever-watchful faculty. Now the regulations say that eighty hours work must be I's and II's if an A, B is forthcoming.
The change is intended to make the degree "mean more" to the lucky ones we suppose; but the added value will mean absolutely nothing to them when compared with the lessened valued to those who are affected by the eighty hour limit.
THE ATHLETES.
At any rate, however, the rule gives something for seniors to be thankful for—it doesn't go in effect this year.
For the last time this spring the University will be host to visiting high school students tomorrow afternoon on McCook Field.
K. U. wants to see the callers cared for hospitably, the best athletes in possession of the first prizes, and every visiting senior enrolled on Mount Oread next September.
CONSERVATION OF TIME.
Probably the most important problem before the undergraduate at present in the conservation and the proper apportionment of his time. Exhibitionistic, with its distraction and its tumult, is only a few days distant. There are the twilight concerts, the afternoon baseball games, the tennis court and the golf links, all tempting the student to close his close confinement and to run away into the out-of-doors.
The whole situation calls for the exercise of judgment. Students should remember that the scholastic work af the semester is not as far advanced as it should be, due to the delay caused by the scarlet fever scare. This work must have, be conceived, Back work must have no leniency shown to those who are underserving. There will be no lowering of the University scholastic standards.
The wise student will take all these things, pleasurable and adruous, into account before apportioning his time. He will not spill the last days of the college year by apportioning his studies to the exclusion of everything else. He will find that it is possible to mix wok and play, and he will find that the proper fusion of the 'two will in the end prove the most efficacious and the most profitable of works. You should be warned of the danger of giving too much to pleasure and not enough to work—Daily Illini.
M. U. TIGHTENS UP
ENDS AND ODDLETS
The University has passed a rule providing for the loss of credit for those students who "cut" classes in one course seventeen times in a semester without a sufficient excuse.—University Missouri.
Forks are, comparatively speaking, quite a modern invention (as anyone would like to be), or (for). They were first known in Italy toward the end of the 15th century. They began to be known in France by the mid-16th century. Introduced in England in 1608.
K. U. students will need several pinnch hitts along about June 1st.
The Mexican word for kiss according to an exchange is "teetamanquilzitlh", which probably comes Latin meaning long and drawn out.
Fortification The present mode was introduced about 1500. If you want a fortified city, the model is very useful.
The faculty didn't come any nearer the Noble peace prize because of its new ruling concerning the 80 required hours of ones and twos.
Fire engines, to force water, existed in very ancient times. The first of the kind now in use, but of a vastly inferior character, was invented in 1738. Van den Hoeide, at Amsterdam, in 1518. In 1657 an improved engine was introduced at Nuremburg by John Hantsch. Fire engines were first known at Paris in 1699. The first volunteer fire company in Nuremburg was founded about 1736. Unknown in Lawrence.
Free Soil Party. The first nationa
newborn was held at Buffalo, Aug. 9
False hair was introduced by the courtesans in Italy, and first brought into England from France in 1572. But all the rats came from Ireland.

A POSSIBLE INJUSTICE.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Under the new rule that the faculty has made the man who* may have to work his way through school and fight every inch of the way to get credit for his degree as the moro fortunate student who has enough money to go to summer school to make a II in a course which he had flunked. Consistency thou art still a jewel. Anarchist.
CAMPUS OPINION
GET STUDENT VIEW.
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
There are 2,350 reasons why the instructors on this hill have jobs. John Wanamaker's big success for his slugout that "the customer is always right." When the faculty contemplates such unusual changes as it has made in the grading system why doesn't it give the students a chance to give their view that at a University, the lips of youth comes wisdom. The faculty assumes that it is the only body that knows what the students want or ought to have.

- costs less in railroad fare
- costs less in Pullman fare
- and is thoroughly comfortable
The cars are not so finely finished as the standard Pullmans—seats upholstered in rattan (which many prefer), and woodwork not so fancy; but you save money and sacrifice no essential comfort
The cars have sixteen sections, wide steel vestibules, and smoking compartments. They are operated on three fast Santa Fe trains. Experienced porters are in attendance.
En route you can visit that world wonder, the Grand Canyon of Arizona, Ask the Santa Fe man for copies of illustrated booklets, "To California Over the Santa Fe Trail," and "Titan of Chasms — Grand Canyon."
