**announced** 32 second-class mail matter
in late September. Kansas, under the act of March
Subscription price $2.50 per year, in advance; one term, $1.50.
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the department of Journalism.
The Daily Kaman atomics picture the undergraduate students who are further than merely printing the news by standing on top of the press; no journalists; to be clean is to be cheerful; to leave more serious questions to wider heads; to be more active; to identify the students of the University.

BE PREPARED
Buy your smelling salts early.
Professors with weak hearts should take warning.
Don't faint.
Be very careful if you are afflicted with apoplexy.
Open your Daily Kansan tomorrow deliberately.
Let the shocking intelligence which it will convey dawn on your mind by degrees.

Restoratives can be obtained at any drug store.
The expression of President Hackney, of the Board of Administration favoring the donation of a site for the permanent Union on the University campus gives added impetus to the plans of the Student Council committee. If the land is donated money for the building itself will be obtained more easily.
Work by the incoming Council, and plenty of it, is the additional element necessary to actually achieve definite results toward a Student Building on Mount Oread, next year.
A HUMBLE REMONSTRANCE
Will some one kindly explain why it is that while students are obliged to maintain a death-like silence in the library, under pain of expulsion, any professor may come in and make as much racket as he pleases? Probably there are few of us who have escaped being annoyed in this manner, not once but many times. Certain professors seem to feel privileged to go romping up and down the room, commenting audibly on the state of the nation, humming or whistling under their breath, and otherwise disturbing those at work.
It never seems to occur to them that there are people in the room who are actually trying to study, and that music and light conversation, though recognized as valuable adjuncts at a dinner, are not particularly enjoyable or profitable to one in search of knowledge.
Perhaps each professor thinks that since his own students (apparently) do not study, neither do any others. Maybe he thinks we should learn to concentrate by studying in noisy places. Possibly it is only thoughtlessness, or the traditional professional absent-mindedness, that is responsible for such conduct.
In any case, O revered instructors, know ye by those presents that a noisy professor is as big a nuisance in a library as a noisy freshman, and may even, by his unseemly behavior, be
responsible for some of the poor
library work done for his classes!
INTRODUCING CHARLEY-HORSE
The "hash house" baseball circuit got away to a flying start Saturday. Games were being played all through the day and several scores of students either got up the next morning with sore muscles or stayed in bed—too tired to move.
But there lies the advantage of the league. Students who have not exercised since they left the farm are working hard. Cobwebs which have remained in brains all winter are being wiped away, and stagnant blood is getting busy and moving through the veins with a rapidity that is fully as beneficial as it is surprising.
AND LO! BEHOLD!
There appears another "aristocracy within an aristocracy" in this human world of ours—an aristocracy of automobiles.
Who is it that has not marked the haughty disdain of the six cylindered palace, with its electric lights, its self-starting apparatus, its one-man top, its break-down steering wheel, its elegant and luxurious cushions? Who has not noticed it nose out and pass, with noiseless scorn and pity, its less modern one-lunged, bumptious, charging brother?
We wonder if the contempt of the one and the hatred of the other, find any response in the hearts and faces of children who are not in any reflection in the public mind?
We are inclined to inquire about your car, before settling upon your popular "social" status—in this human world of ours—Michigan Daily
ORGANIZED CHEERING
The Executive Committee of the Student Council of Harvard College recently decided that organized cheering in the arena at all future hockey games would be abolished. The reason for this seems to be that an attempt at organized yelling has been made and failed. No one will be able to miss no point to the yelling except when Harvard lined up against Old Eli.
Just how far this abolishment of organized yelling may go in intercollegiate yelling is problematical. The college yell is peculiar to American colleges and is practically unknown to European institutions. In the Olympic gymnasium at Stockholm a great mass number of Americans were present and "rooting" for the athletes from this country. This action was particularly displeasing to our English cousins who were unable to understand just what function the excited yelled played in athletic contests, where the prowess of a man depends in a way not shown in Roman. The raucous cries of the Americans made a singular contrast to the stolidity of the English.
If were not that rooting had become a time honored custom in American institutions of learning, one could hardly fail to see that it does not represent culture but the capacity for true sportsmanship in withholding an outward demonstration of the feelings.—Indiana Student.

A horrible precedent was set when a Pennsylvania girl won a breach of promisal hustle that had played "Post-office" with the victim at a party years ago.
PLENTY OF AIR NEEDED
But old baseball has skinned them all, it's coming makes me glad.
CY HAS COMPETITION
Some folks are wild for football.
They think all else is tame.
Do you see me. I should see.
Basketball's exciting
But as for me, I'd rather see A good old baseball game.
And leave your job so unpleasant.
The winter's o'er, it's spring once.
So put away your books, my friend.
And leave your lab as dreamed,
once
And baseball time is here.

CAMPUS OPINION WANT A TUG-OF-WAR
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The committee on athletics in the Public Discussion class wishes to submit the following report:
We, the members of the class in Public Discussion, in order to encourage a more healthy and yet an orderly class spirit, do ordain and establish the following resolutions for the Men's Student Council of the university of Kansas: that Each student should attend Friday in April there shall be a tug-of-war between the sophomore and freshman classes according to the following rules:
1. Twelve men shall be chosen from either class as opposing parties.
2. Each party shall choose a position on either side of Potter's lake.
3. An inch rope of suitable length shall be stretched across the aforesaid lake; these opposing parties then put their ropes in such a way to pull one another into the lake.
4. Either party being successful shall be the acknowledged champions for that year, and no other inter-class fights to be allowed.
MKean, Doggett, Amicke, Committee.
STANDARDIZATION
Leland H. Jenks.
The Editor of the shipky magazine You have been published over and an editor has precedes calls attention to the widely differing amounts of work required for credit in the several college courses. The clarion call has been issued for upperclassmen to come to the fore with personal testimony and suggestive drawn from their experience. We have been looking for some response to come to the distress call to back up the editor in his attack on the curriculum. But in vain. Not a senior has arisen to propose a panacack for the lilies of the system. It is not a way to get an education though at the University of Kansas.
This appears strange. But isn't it due, Mr. Editor, to the fact that you are trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, to attack an evil where there is none. It is an undeniable fact that there is a tree in the forest that works hard and is worked in maximum and minimum courses. But is this necessarily an evil?
Is the amount of work a student does in a course a reliable standard of the educational value of the subject. My own experience inclines me to question this. The so-called "snaps" in literature, pedagogy and philosophy, in which I did practically no work at all mean more to me as I look back over my college course than all the weary hours I roiled over the "sulphide group" and the conjugation of irregular Greek verbs. Not that I regret the time spent on the latter. But for real cultural gain as a stimulus to the application is the best in the course it is largely the education—I portfolio that the so-called "snap" courses have a value wholly out of proportion either to the amount of credit given for their completion or to the work done by the student. A course is not necessarily worthless because it is easy, or of surpassing value because it is hard.
Real ground for criticism arises where a student is compelled to perform a lot of "hack work" which adds little or nothing to the value of the course. Professors in cultural courses, such as Group VII, fear the imputation of a "soft snap" and occasionally prescribe heavy outside assignments which bear no very vital connection to the course. It is along the line of these special assignments that criticism might bear fruit in bringing about more careful consideration of their intrinsic value.
The communicant has missed entirely the point made by the Daily Kansan.
When one professor selfishly requires work in a given course out of all proportion to the credit, something is wrong. Flunks follow rebellion although the student may take the necessary time from course work to make more interested. Conditions are as bad, at the other extreme, when it is possible to obtain a I grade in another course after a negligible amount of study. These "snaps" by the way, may and may not be the sort of collegiate work with great cultural courses and courses with setting will norms form exactly to set standards but improvement over present conditions certainly is possible.
The lack of communications on the subject is indicative more of approval than opposition by our readers. Students are apt to "take their pen in hand" to criticize than to pro- prove. Witness the above. Proof that theally important position is the fairly apparent, even among faculty members is shown by the favorable interview from Dean Templin printed March 31.
The Daily Kansan favors a questionaire sent by the University authorities to all seniors, asking for facts concerning experience with unfair term assignments as well as with unfair habits of grading. With facts as a basis for action the authorities could proceed along the proper channels and institute permanent reforms.
