Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students going further and more clearly print the notes by standing up and pointing at them; to be clean, to be cheerful and to leave more serious problems to user heads; to be able to ability the students of the University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 28.1914.
A short saying often carried much wisdom. -Sophocles.
BIRD AND BEAST FIGHT
Remember the Missouri football game at Columbia last November? Recall the indoor track meet in Convention Hall?
Tragic events, those.
The Tiger must be feeling pretty chesty with two prominent 1913-14 feathers missing from the Jayhawk's tail.
But this Jayhawk is a persistent and wily old bird and it is swooping down on the yellow and black beast from a new angle tonight in Fraser Hall.
The fight is called debate in scholastic circles and student tickets are good for ringside seats.
May its aim be sure and its claws sharp!
PROTECTION FOR STUDENTS
The audit of student accounts by a competent bookkeeper is a custom which the Board of Administration has wisely decided to continue, even though the University no longer has a secretary and purchasing agent.
From the student point of view tha plan has two advantages. Members of organizations have no chance to shout "graft" at the officials who have an O. K. on the bookkeeping. Then the officials themselves have the assurance that their work is done in a businesslike manner approved by an official who ought to know what he is talking about.
THE NOTORIETY SEEKER
He sees two students start a game of pitch in the gymnasium on enrollment day while they are waiting for their turn and he declares that card-playing is common; he hears a "cussword" in a football song and he declares the whole University to be running over with profanity; he sees Helena, Montana, in the Daily Kansan and he declares it to be the vilest sheet in Kansas.

Ye Ancient Gods and East Australasian Potentates!
Not once but twice has the University student failed to rise to his accustomed level during the present semester.
Grapes, does nobody want them? Plums, has their far-famed sweetness proved a myth?
Just think of it, you graduates in the days gone by when a University election rivalled the Spanish-American war in importance, the Athletic
STAY WEST, YOUNG MAN!
Here in the land of legend and the region of Orlando,
I should sit at the feet of learning and charter thought's advance.
For every eastern hill-top was sacred and divine
To the humble prairie plough-boy who sought in the East, a sign.
Out of the West they called me, and I turned my face to the East. And there was pride in my going, as a bridegoon goes to the feast;
Written for the Daily Kansan by Willard A. Wattles, '09.
Out of the East I turned me—God, what my eyes have seen! From a land of degenerate farmers, from the Land of the Might Have Been.
From the narrow halls of learning where the lamp of truth goes out
And the still, small voice of the spirit is drowned in the vulgar shout,
From a land of wanant cities and dread night things that prey.
I turn my face to the West-land.-God, give me one prairie day!
Give me the blaze of sunshine, give me the open sky,
The crude, young strength of manhood undrained in hardy,
The grip, grip, grip.
Every Saturday sees the wrecking of baseball reputations which were built up during the winter.
When you hear a prominent alumnus telling about the good old days, he usually means the good old nights. —Ohio Sun Dial.
The East is an ulcered carcass, bedded like a courtesan.
It has two legs, a hoof and flushed throat.
Give me a voice that thunderstorms also vision. The flail of honest anger and pity for men's pain.
Give me the faith of Kansas and a few young men I know. And we'll carry the gates of Gaza and shatter Jericho.
The East is an ulcered carcass, the North the West, like a boy, has heard her call and flushed through his coat of tan. He has sparred with Sanson, his body's strength for a gaudy finger-ring. And the East has fettered him body and soul with a rope of twisted string;
But I cannot keep in silence the things my eyes have seen
As I turn to the youth of Kansas from the Land of the
Might Have
Amherst, Mass. April 25, 1914.
Board election was postponed because a sufficient number of candidates to fill the vacancies had not announced themselves!
Et quid nunc, and what dire calamity will befall us next?
Furthermore the present case is the second offense this year. The candidates for editor and manager of the Jayhawker had no opposition and the two men were declared elected without the formality of a vote!
Well, anyway, interest has not lagged in the Student Council election, if the number of candidates out for membership is a good indication. That much is gratifying, at least.
IT IS TO LAUGH
"Miss Hazel Woodhull, women's physical director at Northwestern University, has added a new hour to the curriculum of the university. It has won the name of the 'slumber hour.' It is designed for co-eds too delicate to take any gymnastic exercise more violent than the tango.
"Athletic work is compulsory at Northwestern for freshmen. The rapidly increasing number of physicians certificates attesting that 'Miss Blank's health was so poor that she must not take exercise' aroused the sympathies of Miss Woodhull that she ordered all girls bringing such certificates to sleep between 4 and 5 o'clock. And she sits in the room watchfully waiting, to see that none of the girls shall imperil their delicate health by pillow throwing.
"A remarkable improvement in health has been noticed among the co-eds.—Chicago Examiner.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
The Daily Northwestern reports that a fountain pen was lost "without a cap." Wonder if it will be treated as a freshman would be under the same circumstances.
The class which has adopted a stone seat as a memorial to leave the University reminds us of Mr. Wilson's friend Huerta. The latter evidently is planning to be most thoroughly "sat upon."
France has had another aeroplane collision. Seems to be as inexcusable as two germs colliding in a bath tub.
Philadelphia has a bottle of rum that is not to be opened until 1992. Better keep the carnival companies out of town.
"Latest typewriter goes in your pocket." If the price is right and even then there might be some physical difficulty.
A friend in need is a friend to avoid—Ex.
"Anyone would think I was drunk" murmured the movie operator as he reeled away—Harvard Lampoon.
The worst news yet, concerning Mexico is that most of the chile in chowing gum comes from that country, and because of war, the supply would be cut off.
St. Marys probably felt insulted ver that 9 to 1 ball game the other but they didn't request a salute.
CAMPUS OPINION
"CRITICAL" IS IRONICAL
Why this agitation over campus seats? Are we not sons of Kansas,—of glorious America? We have no time to sit and ponder. Our paths lead to some promised goal, a class room where knowledge by the note-bookful may be had for the asking, or to some musty corner in the Library. We do not care to sit in the warm sunshine with an open book on our knees, or with a likertive classmate at our ebow. If students must read, let them read the lam. It is anything, and it's softer than a stony bench. The next thing, some sentimental class will be asking for chimes, thus plotting to do away with the inspiring toot-toot of our cherished flower whistle.
Let Kansans be Kansans! Why attempt to lay more traps for the idle dreamer, the loiterer, the listless ones? Preposterous! "An idle mind is the Devil's workshop." Students are sent to college to hurry along with sorrowful faces, an arm, a knife and a fondill pen. They were not sent here to laugh and chatter like a bunch of African monkeys on a memorial bench donated by some ill-advised class of forgotten alumni.
Critical.
The Toboggan Slide
"in the lost battle,
Born down by the flying
Where mingles war's rattle
With groans of the dying."
(Mr. P. C. Young, '82, a lawyer of Fredonia sends us the account of a student prank "in the good old days". Incidently Mr. Young defines a lawyer *a* one who "works hard, lives well and dies poor even though he is often referred to as a "gentleman" who saves your property from your enemy and take sit all himself.")
"In the lost battle.
By P. C. Young,'82.
Quite long ago when Fraser Hall was unfinished, when but one building adorned the Campus, the faithful, including many good citizens of Lawrence, had gathered in the evening on Mount Oread. The darkness was dense. Neither stars, moon nor artificial light cheered or guided the wanderer on his way. Still worse, the rain was falling persistently, steadily, patiently patterning in gloomy mouthes. Despite such conditions the boys brought out their best girls in gala attire, a thing proper then, eternally right now. The writer marks no improvement. Perhaps they have ever been too nearly perfect to admit of improvement.
The grand old guard at Waterloo was but a miniature in comparison.
With last words from the rostrum, the audience emerged into the black night, covering the sidewalk, crowding thick one upon the other. The procession moved down the hill, commenting upon the lecture, some perhaps upon things nearer, dearer. Bad buds had, for a distance, covered the walk with soft soap. Reaching this place shrieks resounded. A cruel momentum swept from the rear on to doom and destruction. It was a most inartic mix up piling one upon another, tumbling, squirming, infuriating, foul-smelling, footswimming and ever the cries increased. A few saved themselves by seizing some screwly elms at the edge of the walk. All was alike:
Where mingles she turns
With groans of the dying.
Some were wicked enough to suggest, that with light, it would have been a sight for the gods. In all Lawrence the next day.
Over all Lawrence the next day,
the clothes lines grounded under
weight of choice linen. But we were
all good, hence happy.
Some men think that because a fabric is imported it's better
IF YOU'RE one of these men, you have a wonderful chance to get the things you like best here;the new tariff law has made foreign weaves possible. In the spring and summer showing of
Hart Schaffner & Marx
clothes you'll find the best fabrics that can be procured in either American or foreign weaves. The cloth is only the foundation, however. You'll find the best tailoring and most skillful designing that can be had.
Here are the latest styles. We'd like to show them and tell you more about them
