The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduate student further than merely printing the news by standing for her interests; to be clients, to be cheerful; to be more curious to worsen heads; to more serious problems to wiser heads; to more ambitious to wiser minds of the University.

ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP?
As we go to press our baseball players are wielding the bat and hurling the ball in the deciding game of the season, the game with the Iowa Aggies at Ames for the championship of the Missouri Valley.
If long distance support will help them we take pleasure in giving them this absent treatment typographically. We have an abundance of faith in the ability of our team. It is leading the valley now, and as you read this the pennant will probably be waving triumphantly for Kansas.
HARMONY BEATS DISCORD
"We hope to establish a proce- tional system which will bring the members of the faculties and th upperclassmen of the schools int more intimate contact with th younger members of the studer bodies." Thus reports the Board o Administration to Governor Hodge and all K. U. voices approval.
Half the worries of the University together with practically all of the friction which exists between professor and student would be done away with if the faculty and the student body were in close touch with each other. A big new Student Union building with dormitories would go far toward bringing about these desired ends.
A. SUMMER JOB
The kind gentleman who take care of our lawn have done pretty well this year—so well that we are willing to admit that we have the most beautiful and best kept campus in the United States. Barring the back yard, by which is meant the south slope of the hill, our little homestead is well along toward perfection.
Those of us who have ever spent a summer amid the classic shades of Mt. Oread have been greatly edified by the sight of large squads of workmen busily repairing and scrubbing and polishing the campus. Lest the first paragraph of this effusion should lead them to imagine that there is nothing left for them to do this summer, we venture to suggest a few trifling tasks.
Several hours could be profitfully devoted to putting the Daily Kansas office in communication with the outside world by means of a sidewalk from Fraser to the Medical Building. Then the engineers would all appreciate a walk between Blake Hall and either Snow Hall or Fowler Shops. Nobody likes to have to swim from one class to another.
Everyone admires and enjoys 'the lilac hedge, so why not have more of a good thing? An unbroken line of lilacs from Blake Hall to
tennis street, would be a source o. pride and satisfaction to all of us. Not so esthetic, but perhaps more practical, is the matter of tiling some of the drains that run through the tennis fields. This latter is not a huge task, but its accomplishment would result in a great saving of tennis balls and temper.
Spare moments could be used to advantage in planting ivy around over the campus. Ivy will improve the appearance of any structure it covers, from a Gothic palace to a smoke stack or a cinder烘. And there, by the way, is an idea for a cheap and easy way to beautify the south slope; just plant ivy over everything that doesn't look good, and in a year or two our back yard will be as ornamental as the front.

WEEDING OUT THE FAKIRS
The season for selling is about to begin. Student selling. More than half of the students in the various universities have secret plans for making enough during the summer to pay their expenses through school in the fall. Agents for companies with all sorts and conditions of propositions know this. They begin to flock to the university towns along in May. They are smooth tongued and plausible. They can figure out on paper plans by you can work as much or as little as you plan, or your own boss by you can enough books or brushes or insurance to make $200 or $500 a month.
Easy money!
Straight from the universities the ambitions students go out, coached by the enterprising agents. They work for several weeks and discover through painful experience that the art of salesmanship is one of the most difficult to acquire. As a rule their selling proposition will not sell on its own merits. They offer soup that will not suid, cleaners that will not clean, books that are poorly printed and pictures that are daubs.
then they resort to the "hat in the hand" method. They frankly meet you at the door and tell you that they are going to try to make their way through school by selling their soap or the pins or the needles or the brushes. They know their stuff is not worth the money; but they appeal to the mother in the room, man in the man's shoes—just house she sorry for the poor boy who is trying to work his way through college.
In other words, he resorts to grafting a dime or a quarter from every house he enters. He may make his way through the summer; but he loses his self respect and he leaves a flood of worthless articles behind him. Once in a while he is a student with an account and he does make money and salesmanship and goes back to school about it. As a rule, either they come down to counting the tues and pan-handling the farmers for a meal to get home or they frankly graft for small amounts.
Every university has encountered complaints upon this phase of the student body. Nebraska University proposes to stop it. They are organizing a school for salesmanship for the students who hope to make money by this method during the summer. For several weeks at the close of the spring term the budding salesman must register for the salesman classes, which he is taught under the guidance of the Y. Assistant instructor of worth will teach the classes. The students will be drilled in modern business methods of putting a sale across from sofa to insurance.
In connection with this school for salesmanship every agent who comes to the college in the hope of finding student salesmen must report to the committee in charge of this work. He must outline his work to them and submit samples of the articles for sale. They upon presentation at the company. They gently drop all worthless projects through the grating and give a permit to the reputable companies to begin the search for students to represent them. Having chosen his company, the student must then report for instructions as to how to sell his goods and how overcome the resistance of four students of drilling either develops his salesmanship qualities or convinces him that he hasn't any business trying to enter the field.
It is expected by this plan to eliminate many of the objectionable features that are connected with the city's summer work—Kansas City Star.
