The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduate students further than merely printizing the news by standing for the interests; to be clients, to be cheerful; to be curious; to be more serious problems to water heads; to be more diligent in abilities of the students at the University. WEDNESDAY, MAY 20. 1914. He is the freeman whom the truth makes free. And all are slaves besides.—Cow per. THE RIDICULOUS AUDIT The so-called audit of student organization accounts by Secretary Lardner was a supreme farce. After the Student Council requested the Board of Administration to furnish an auditor to take the place of Secretary Brown, and after a big majority of student secretaries and treasurers handed in their accounts for inspection, the auditor ought to do his part of the work in a fair, square manner. Instead, this official gives two days for all K. U. accounts—two days when it would take at least three days to inspect the books of any one of half a dozen large organizations. After he saw that his allotted time was too small, then Mr. Lardner asked that the other accounts be sent to him at Manhattan. This was done, and now they come back, without comment. Mr. Lardner may not be at fault for this flasco, the Daily Kansan does not know, but certainly the system, the condition, is at fault—and very badly at fault. Students have always stood behind the Men's Council in its fight for an annual audit of all organization books. Students are not suspicious of their treasurers but it is right and proper that the undergraduate officials should be placed above suspicion by a competent accountant's O. K. on the system of bookkeeping in use. Several treasurers handle thousands of student dollars during the year and the annual audit by a University bookkeeper has proved to be the best way to place the official above any hint of dishonesty. When the students themselves, through he Men's Student Council, ask for such an inspection the administrative officials of the University should feel duty bound to see that an adequate audit is furnished. Let's have Mr. Lardner try again SURE, 10 O'CLOCK Chapel should be at ten o'clock. Agitation for chapel at this hour will succeed eventually because ten o'clock is the logical time. The temptation to stroll off the hill if the assembly comes at eleven is so great that attendance will always suffer. "DAD" GREGORY Bring chapel back to the ten o'clock period and make the exercises interesting—and student will attend in worthy numbers. The greatest factor in developing and increasing the sentiment for a permanent Union is the remarkable success of the temporary Union, now only about two months old. It is merely giving credit that it is well deserved to say that the success of the temporary Union is due largely to "Dad" Gregory. Thanks to his efforts, the Union building is regulated and conducted like a real home, is always neat and 'clean, and has about it an atmosphere which impels visitors to give attention to manners, language and gentlemanly conduct. Nine 'rahs for "Dad" Gregory. DEAN MARVIN Few University professors have been more greatly respected, more venerated by students, and more highly esteemed by his associate faculty members than Advisory Dean Marvin of the School of Engineering. His long life of devotion to his chosen profession at K. U. coupled with his standing in scholarly circles makes the fact that he was placed on the Carnagie pension list particularly pleasing to his friends. The University hopes that Mr. Marvin will enjoy his well earned rest for a score of years yet to come. ENDS AND ODDLETS The faculty's clean-up week will be due the first of June. STRANGE! Bad paradoxes we have passed, But this one is the worst; You can not make your money last Until you make it first. —Cincinnati Enquirer, And here's another quiz That gives a jar; That cargoes often go by ship, While shimms go by car. White shipment New York Mail And yet another paradox And yet another paradox That's going 'round our town; Our soldiers shot up Vera Cruz But shot its people down. But shot its people down. It's a safe bet that the sixth grade geography student isn't enthusiastic over Roosevelt's discovery of a new river.

To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: POINT OUT FACULTY FAULTS "Something is the matter with this school." Too often of late one hears this remark from students. There has been a spirit of unrest, of dissatisfaction, at the University all year. Perhaps that is the case at other schools where recent research exists at Kansas, a state where people are known the nation over for loyalty to their institutions. When you analyze it, what is the matter? Are the students at the University any different from the students at other institutions? Some perhaps, but they can not differ much from the students of other mid-continental schools. What then can we learn about the faculty? Certain it is that some of the professors knock the school constantly. We heard a professor the other day say openly in a crowd of students and others, and he is high in the councils of the institution, that he would leave the school if he could get a salary equal, or near equal, to the one he gets now—and he knocked at length. And we have heard others say the same things. What can they expect of students? The professors should get closer to the students, and make student affairs their affairs, and not be so 'boominiant'. When a professor accidentally gets thrown in with a bunch of students at present he's actually embarrassed because he doesn't know how to act. A university is composed of two things: faculty and students, at least it seems to me that is the case. If the students are the same here as in other schools where things are different, where there is an abundance of "nap" and everybody can not be different, why then what could be the matter but the baneful influence of a gang of academic professors, who think that when they've talked at the ceiling for an hour without interesting a single student, they've done their duty? If they would show a little more interest in student affairs, and so far their school at large has gone so long a way, doing away with some of the spirit of unrest that has pervaded the atmosphere of Mt. Oread for the past several months. Where there is anarchy there is demoralization. We have had virtual anarchy at the University for the last year. The Student Council has been entirely inefficient, and the faculty has been equally so, shoving off onto the Council every bit of work that didn't suit the reason—the abusiveness any effective rule and regulation—that things at the University this year have been in a somewhat unsettled state. We need effective rules of discipline, effectively administered—not blue laws, but rules that everybody realizes are just, and will be glad to see enforced. The students don't like a professed self-government or faculty holding, and continually threatening to use the whip hand. Two Students.
