Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. Lawrence, Kans. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students so that they will be further illuminated than merely printing the nines by standing for the lectures; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be more serious problems to user heads; to be more flexible to the ability of the students of the University. Chance is a word void of sense; no thing can exist without a cause-- Voltaire. MONDAY, MAY 4, 1914 ISSUES NOT INDIVIDUALS Students are interested in the reasons why the various candidates for membership in the Student Council are asking support at the election Thursday. In order that every man who is running for office may have an opportunity to place his case before the voters the Daily Kansan will give free space for that purpose Tuesday and Wednesday. THE FINAL SPRINT The two men who are after the presidency are asked to restrict their remarks to three hundred words, all other candidates to one hundred and fifty words. copy should be handed in at the office at the earliest possible convenience, and we cannot guarantee to print anything received after eleven o'clock on Wednesday. Vacations are over, no more "time out" is allowed, and little respite from hard labor remains. Four weeks of school work, a week for examinations. Commencement time—then another year at the University is gone. But the situation wouldn't be so bad for most of us if the weather were not so tantalizingly perfect at the precise time that work is so insistently necessary. The wise student who has kept hi notebooks up to date all semester smiles. The ordinary plug who has repeatedly postponed the time to fulfill the professor's demands, frowns—and camps at the library or in the drawing room. START A TRACER Where are our bulletin boards? Where are our bulletin boards? Some time ago the Student Coun- cil approved the suggestion that stu- den bulletin boards be placed on the approaches to Mount Oread, ap- pointed a committee to confer with the Board of Administration—and now the matter evidently has been dropped. Since the no-bill-posting ordinance has been enforced, some method of advertising student activities by printed notices seems necessary. Unobtrusive boards just off the brow of the hill on the various streets ought to fit the situation. The outgoing Council has an excellent chance for service by proddin its bulletin board committee. GOOD EXAMPLES "Once again Frank Chance points out the great weaknesses of the Mack team. The World's champions can't do that. He doesn't shake hands and speak civilly." to opponents."—Philadelphia North American. Another "great fault" of this same team as brought out in a recent magazine by Connie Mack himself is the fact that the members of the club do not drink and several do not use tobacco. Yet they are good proof that baseball is a gentleman's game and that the clean athletes makes the best player. WHY LAWS TAKE ENGINEERING As an excellent example of a clear, concise statement of facts we submit the following taken from the case of Buckmyr v. Darnall, tried in the Court of Queen's Bench in 1704: The plaintiff declared that the defendent, in consideration the plaintiff, at his request locaret and deliberaret caidam Josepho English a gelding of the plaintiff's ad equitandum et itinerandum usque ad Reading in comitatu Berks, assumpiset et promisit the plaintiff, quod the said Joseph and Charles the said gelding to the plaintiff redeliberent, etc. PRINCETON LOSES CUSTOM "Horsing," the venerable Princeton institution and the bone of student and faculty contention for so many years, is no more. The senior council has formally put an end to the practice and returning alumni next fall will miss the customary pennings across the grass with their noses or try to straighten the cannon which is sunk deep in the ground to a distance of sixteen feet. The practice of "horsing" used to last the entire first term and when originally adopted was the substitute for hazing. But it was never universally popular among class men and for some time there has been waged a vigorous campaign against it. It has been admitted for several years that the custom was dying of its unhealthiness and the senior council now regards its action partly as a death blow to a decaying institution. It should be stated that the council through canvass of faculty and alumni had revealed just what sentiment in regard to the practice was. —Boston Transcript.

Burdick, Professor of Law Never any style about, him, not imposing on parade; Couldn't make him look heroic with no end of golden braid. Figure sort o' stout and dummy, hair an' whiskers kind o' red; But he's always movt' forward when there's trouble on ahead. Five foot five o' nerve an' darin', eyes pale blue an' steely bright'. Not afraid of men or devils—that is Funston in a fight. WITH K. U. POETS Knows the Spanish and the savage for he's fought and licked 'em both. Weyler found out all about him, set a price upon his head: much hand at breakin' hearts Rotten ringer for Apollo, but right That he'll get what he goes after when he mixes in a row. Yellow men and yellow never tried to cut off his career. Not much figure in the ballroom, not much hand at breakin' hearts TO BE ABUSTFUL WHITE ROSE FOUND ON THE PRAIRIE FOR HUMAN SHEETTING Aguinaldo's crafty warriors filled him nearly full o' lead. Just a bunch of brain and muscle, but you always feel, somehow. A PRAIRIE ROSE has never slipped a gear.

At the news that Kansas Funston on again gone on his job. James J. Montague in New York American. MR. ROTH IS OUR FRIEND What, growing in the heat of our rose; All beautifuls, fair, and sweet, in your rose; Each petal rich in gloss and silly white, The thyme that grows around heralds her hue; How canest thorn here? Say not, it was mere chance That wind-assured the thyme native 'Twere cruel so, emblem of purity and love The fairest head of mortal thou could grant And the choicest flowers thou wouldst reign. Why here? The beautiful is never lost, And nothing pure and good exists in vain. And the choice of more than human genus can again. And though usen by man, perhaps for you You may bloom here as part of Paradise. To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: In your issue of April 24th, 1913 an article appears calling attention to the press reports of certain things I am said to have expressed relative to Kansas' University. CAMPUS OPINION In reply I beg that you grant me the courtesy of a little of your valuable space. I very much deplore that I should have said anything which would give rise to the impression that I was attacking the University. Kameda by ours, and still a tax payer of the state, I am proud of our University. I regard her equipment and grade of instruction superb. After a year's residence at the University I am persuaded that the conduct and morals of her students are good, probably better than are to be found in similar institutions. My time spent in Lawrence was very satisfactory from the standpoint of association, instruction given and advantages offered. I take pleasure in giving publicity to these things. I will say, however, that there were certain things took place there which I could not sanction. I endeavored while there to call attention the fact that I would treatement against them, as I was satisfied they were injurious to the best interests of the Institution. I met with little encouragement and seemingly with the disapproval of the paper and consequently did not push the matter. I have more difficulty in deplored and hoped they might be corrected. I note in your article you state that these things do not exist, and I am also informed from other sources that they are not in evidence this year. I am highly pleased to know that all these things have been grieved at myself that I should have even referred to them after they ceased to exist. I bear only the kindiest feeling toward the University and all associated therewith. I hope that whatever influence I may have shall be for the best interests of this Institution that is so splendidly serving the young people of our state; and I further hope that my influence will be such hereafter as never to embarrass any one or throw the Institution or any of its friends in a bad light.

She (suspiciously)—You kiss as though you were an old hand at it. He (suspiciously)—How do you know? —Boston Globe. "Why do they call boats, 'She?' " "Because they cannot make much speed unless buoys are around."—Princeton Tiger. —Harper's Weekly.
