Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students further in their nearlyprinting news by standing for them. No materiates; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be useful; to be serious; to possess the wuster heads; in all, to inquire about the ability of students of the Community.
SENSE
THURSDAY, APRIL 23.1914.
Students have just as sound judgment, when they take a little time for reflection, as any class of people—notwithstanding frequent assertions to the contrary.
Those who want fewest things are nearest to the gods.-Sorates.
The fact was again proved last night when the undergraduates followed the sensible request of the Chancellor to stay away from the Carnival shows in crowds of any size. The Lawrence authorities and the street fair followers were certain that further trouble would come, but there was none and there will be none—if the Daily Kansan has the students' good judgment sized up correctly.
A hundred dollar stone bench on the campus. Such is the memorial that the class of 1914, departing, would leave behind. The idea is good; the plan is commendable.
A MEMORIAL AT LAST?
The seniors are to be congratulated (future tense used advisedly). They are to be congratulated when the bench is on the campus. Without disparaging the class of 1914, we are incredulous of class memorials. The seniors who left us last year laid plans for a beautiful triumphal arch on Oread avenue. Do you recall passing under the aforementioned arch?
But the fee is so nominal and the favorable sentiment seems to be so universal this year, that the present senior class ought to be able to actually achieve what classes for a number of years have fondly hoped for.
On with the celebration. Let the High Cost of Living ascend. Provision has been made for raising the salary schedule of the faculty. The Board of Administration has decided that the best policy to pursue is to raise the salaries of those instructors who have earned an increase.
PROSPERITY STRIKES KANSAS
No one objects to this policy. We have not heard, nor do we expect, any complaint from the teaching staff. We students are happy; it pleases us to see our instructors prosper. Every friend of the University is delighted, because the best instructors need not leave Kansas in order to obtain what they can earn.
ALMOST AN ISLAND
The Board of Administration, the Chancellor, the superintendent of grounds, or whoever has the matter in charge should consider Blake Hall. In muddy weather only one dry

means of approach—or of egress— is available.
The engineers are forced to wade through rods of mud—Oread's Best—south of the old Medic Building and east of Fowler Shops. If they desire to stray on the sidewalk these hearty students might follow the main pathway east as far as Green Hall, hence south past Fraser to the ultimate destination. A very brave engineer might venture along the lateral which goes from Snow Hall to the back door of Fraser. He could then wander about the unfamiliar corridors of that revered building until he found the main entrance. Then he could proceed to Blake along the one dry roadway. In either case the foot-weary student might be ten minutes late to class, and one might be fifteen.
Then the College student has a grievance. If he is coming up the east hill and tries to edge over to his Physics recitation by the shortest route—along the illac hedge—he must be wonderfully proficient in the gentle art of broad jumping. The stepping stones are often many many feet apart.
Reference to the board walks which lead the Kappas and their neighbors from Blake Hall down the south-east hill is further proof of the plainly evident attempt to shut off this building from communication with the outside world, when the elements are at war.
Just because the architect who drew the plans for Blake Hall happened to stand the building up on one end rather than let it lie down on its logical foundation, is no reason for this cruel and unusual method of punishment.
GREEN CAPS
Greener by far than the grass is the crop of green caps that is destined to make its appearance today upon the campus. Tradition demands that today the freshmen should resume the wearing of the green. Let us have a rigid observance of the tradition by the class of 1917! The Student Council will want to spend it in enforcing such action would in fact, transform the tradition into a law. The freshmen themselves should take a pride in its observance, and the upper-classmasters should do all in their power to stimulate this pride. However trivial or disagreeable this tradition may now seem to you, freshmen, there will come a time when most of them will size that you gained something from their experience. You will then see that there is an almost universal tendency upon the part of students, fresh from their high school or prep school careers, to feel and to exhibit a high degree of self-importance. You will then appreciate the need for some device whereby the freshman's bubble of vanity may be punished. The "faging" phrase of the old English boarding school was one tool for our freshmen traditions are another. In this spirit and on this basis, let we have the green cap tradition observed this spring! If it fails, of observance, without constant recourse to the student court, then let us abolish the so-called tradition altogether.-Wisconsin Daily Cardinal.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
K. U. Hughmoore has been unkind enough to bother the editor with the suggestion that the student who obtained an appointment on a "non-magnetic" ship must have done so without any pull.

THE STORY OF MY LIFE
By Adele Humphrey, '95
On receiving a request from the editor of the Daily Kansan that I be one of fifty "well-known graduates" to submit a biography for publication, I looked suspiciously at the date the letter, for the season was not far removed from April first. (I wonder who the other forty-nine were!) But the postmark was innocent of suggestion. Then L pondered over his statement that these notices are a sort of parallel to the obituaries in the Congressional Record—are we dead ones? I asked myself. But no, so live a paper as the Daily Kansan would not regard as news those who had such oblivion. I concluded therefore, that it was a bright idea cooked up beadily and circulation manager. Of course we shall all want to see who else belongs to the glorious company. Fifty new subscriptions at a postnear stamp each is rather neat!
If I had had the slightest warming in my infancy that I was to be biographical matter I should have created events. As it is, I have nothing either to tell or conceal. One thing only in my life differentiates it from any other existence. I claim to be the only person now living who has read Bulwer-Lytton's epic, "King Arthur" through to the end.

STANDARDS FOR FUTURE JOURNALISTS
(Miss Humphrey enclosed her sub- scription.)
Tentative programs are out for two extremely important conferences pertaining to journalism. One is of the tenth annual convention of Associated Advertising Clubs of America to be held in Toronto, Can. Jan. June. The other is the conference of journalists to be held in Lawrence in May, under the auxuries of the University of Kansas. The first item of uniformity in connection with these gatherings is that they are to open on Sunday, with laymen in the leading churches setting forth desirable standards for the press in the light of tested ethical and spiritual ideals. Fourteen Kansas editors, some of them of national reputation, and to define the newspaper's action alongside the church's powerful agency in the community service, to the call to the conference. At Toronto the lay preschools will be men of national reputation in general or special fields of journalism.
At the University of Kansas conference such questions as these are to be discussed: Should not the state protect its citizens from untrained and unscrumpulous men by insisting on the professions of jousting or passing on qualifications? Should not the press protect itself by requiring its members to subscribe to a code of ethics? Why should not the newspaper be compelled by law to guarantee the public against fraudulent advertising? Is the defense of the newspaper, that it is public, what is a good one? What extent is the newspaper responsible for the public's low taste in newspapers? Is not the public so dependent on the press for its civic welfare that newspapers ought to be dealt with as public utilities? Scrutiny of the list of speakers at conference, selected by national reputation and influence, indicates that the theory back of the conference is to make it count for much in defining publicity as the force behind popular freedom.
There's something to this yellow peril business after all if the dozen or so "Chinese" who visited us last week are representative of the race.
Any students desiring to join the University company of K. N. G. can find Captain Jones in Fowler Shops at all hours of the day.
Any citizen who begins to appreciate the place that journalism fills in the modern world, and the power for righteousness which it may exert, must rate as significant the trend toward "publicity about publicity" which these conferences disclose; and he also must welcome with gratitude the new role that ethel as a technical aspect of editorial writing, newsgathering and circulation getting are now being subjected to standards that will bear discussion and survive attack.—Christian Science Monitor.
