UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN.
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the students of Kansas to go further than merely printing the news by standing up for their interests; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious problems in urban heads; to solve more serious problems in urban heads; to fulfill the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 29, 1914.
Great souls by instinct to each other turn,
Demand alliance, and in friendship burn—Addison.
REALIZATION?
The senior memorial committee has a man-sized job before it. Collecting the memorial fund, selecting the site for the seat, letting a contract for the work and presenting the memorial to the class by the week of graduation—accomplishment of this sort requires WORK in great big capital letters.
The seniors last year went far enough to erect stands in which to pour the concrete for a memorial arch—then they backed up and paid the annual debt. The class this year has no Jayhawker deficit so it merely has to hurry—and class memorials at the University have become a reality.
And after all, the committee can merely direct and lead. The class itself must lend concerted support—and when two meetings were held without a word spoken against the idea, there is little doubt but that the class will get in the game with commendable energy.
HOME TALENT ART
With the fragrant lilac hedge perfumery and the freshly garbed Wakarusa Valley as assisting artists, and with a possibility of securing a blazing Kansas sunset in a solo part supported by exquisite May weather, the first open air band concert on the campus Friday evening is an assured success.
A WARNING AND A PLEA
Lessons will be poorly prepared tomorrow and the professors should think twice before frowning, or marking down big black zeros.
The second concert of the music festival comes tonight in Robinson Gymnasium and judging from the size of the crowd which heard Alice Nielsen some time ago, a large percentage of students will attend.
Then consider carefully. Mr. Faculty Man, consider the tired, overworked, downtrodden undergraduate who does not allow his love for good music to be affected even by his affection for your most interesting course!
THE HOP
The sophomore hop, second only in importance to the Junior Promenade as an all-University event, will be more than usually enjoyable this year if advance news concerning the farce and other details is reliable. Every classman should not forget that the event comes THIS week and that tickets may be obtained at the Fraser check stand.
LILACS AND TREES
ILLACS AND TREES
At this time of year the lovelies thing on our justly famed campus unquestionably the illac hedge eas of Fraser Hall. Whether it is be cause we cannot remember from on spring to the next how beautiful th illacs are, or whether they have really surpassed themselves thi year, they seem to be unusually pro fuse, richly colored and ' sweet scented.
Even at a considerable distance the eye is attracted by the purple plumes, hundreds upon hundreds of them, and the closer one comes, the more impelling is the attraction. To look at them is a feast for the soul as well as for the eyes; but it isn't necessary to look at them to derive an exquisite pleasure from their nearness. Every breeze that blows across the green is laten with the most delightful, delicately penetrating odor ever exhaled by any flower. It is like a breath of Spring incarnate.
Thirty-six years ago these lilacs were set out-blessings on the man who did it—and for most of those years they have been a source of rare enjoyment to thousands of people. But even illiac bushes had to have a small unpretentious beginning, and to be fostered through a period of slow growth. What is true of illiac bushes is even more true of trees, and final development into beauty is as certain in the one case as in the other. And so, while few of us will enjoy a cool shady walk out to Marvin Hall, and while we are a little prone to make fun of those lines of feeble little trees, future generations will reap the benefit and will bless the planter of those trees just as we bless the saint who is responsible for our lilacs.

THE VICE PRESIDENT resumed the chair.
Senator BLACKMAR. I present a letter from the secretary of the Men's Student Council. He heaps to report that on Wednesday, April 22, 1968, the men's basketball ball game with a team chosen from the members of the Kannan Board.
Senator FOSTER. I should like to inquire of the Senator from the Department of Sociology if the board harrow to hit the bal. (Laugher).
Senator BLACKMAR. No, it seems that the board was too bored with boarding house board to do elaborate. (Continued laughter in the galleries.)
THE VICE PRESIDENT. The Sergent-at-Arms will preserve order in the galleries. This is the second notice, and the chair instructs the Sergent-at-Arms to see that it is obeyed or to clear the galleries.
Senator MITCHELL. Moreover, if I am not mistaken, the game was played immediately after the issuance of the yellow Kanan, which was pink. Little wonder that after getting out a sheet like that the near-journalists were unable to play ball with such a way connected with such a publication. I am sure I should be suffering from yellow arundice.
THE VICE PRESIDENT. Gentlemen, we seem to be getting hopelessly mixed up in questions for the medical committee, and this is no objection the entire matter will be referred to the Committee on Conciliation and Arbitration.

WANTS PERMANENT QUARTERS To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: I wish to protest against the continued appropriation by various organizations of the rooms belonging to debating societies of the University.
CAMPUS OPINION
There were two spots of greesas
and a neat little note:
"Lim Erick."
In the face of unheard of apathy on the part of the University-at-large, the two debating clubs have struggled on, only to find that from time to time their rooms are not appalled at the slightest claim to the rooms in question on that particular evening. The time has now come when debating must assume its proper importance as an activity, and this direction is the setting apart of permanent quarters for the debating societies.
