The Daily Kannon aims to picture the undergraduate students go further than they might print the news by standing up for their rights and not fearing it; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to uder heads; to be more diligent; to be more diligent at the students of the University.
IN THE LEAD
FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1914.
The University of Kansas leads rather than lags behind in state service work. It now comes forward with two plans that are attracting attention all over the country-Merchants' Week and the Journalism Conference.
Death calls ye to the crowd of common men...Shirley.
The merchants of Kansas have shown that they are strongly in favor of a merchant's meeting and the newspaper men have made many favorable comments on the Conference.
Broadening the influence of state institutions so that they touch as many citizens as possible seems to be the spirit of the day and the University is keeping its place on the frontier line.
STUDENTS AND ART
The best attractions on Mount Oread, whether they be lectures, art exhibits or concerts, are usually well attended. The universal rule seems to apply at college as well as anywhere else. Give something worthy of a big crowd, and the seats will not be vacant.
The attendance at the opening number of the Music Festival was encouraging to the guarantors of the series and surprising to the pessimists who insist that students are unappreciative of art.
HAVE YOU AN OPINION?
Did you ever take a snap three hour course and then turn around and take a fearfully hard one for the same amount of credit? Rather hard on your temper, isn't it, besides being unfair if you stop to think about it.
A suggestion has been made that the departing seniors give their opinion on methods of standardizing courses and upon the work which needs revision. As a method of getting at facts preparatory to change, the suggestion seems to be a good one.
Students who are interested should see that the matter gets to the attention of the faculty since the inspiration for sending out a questionaire of this sort must come, undoubtedly, from the undergraduates.
ARE K. U. WOMEN ASLEEP?
It has been some time since that well known ballad entitled "Dormitory is our Story" has been heard on the campus, but interest in the subject will not be allowed to drop.
In the few years that the matter has been agitated at the University, nearly $10,000 in pledges has been raised for building a dormitory, and most of the money has come from
alumni. This year the Kansas Council of Women has taken the matter up and will ask the legislature to provide girls' dormitories for all the state schools.
This is a step in the right direction, but the end in view cannot be attained until the people generally are brought to realize the need for dormitories, and the students are the ones to arouse and maintain interest in the matter.
The importance of the question is indicated by the fact that every year the registar receives scores of letters from parents who would send their daughters here if there was a dormitory for them to live in. Nothing has been done this year, and the time is growing short.
Would it be amiss to inquire whether a policy of "watchful waiting" is the most effective one possible under the circumstances?
STUDENT JUSTICE
Chicago University students have instituted a Students' Honor Court for recommending punishment to be given to students caught cheating or committing other misdemeanors. This court recently announced its finding, which referred the pension of overweight students and the debt of scholarship credit of others, all of them accused of cheating at the mid-year examinations.
The matter of cheating probably can be dealt with by students, as is shown by the number of "honor sys-cles" in various universities of the country.
This court's finding was speedy and severe, but it probably will hold an example before the eyes of the other judges. The judge would profit to them—University Missouri.
COLLEGE "VAGRANTS"
The attention of "uplift" bureaues of the Government and of municipal and private organizations, is being called to a Government report from a consular agent at Barmen, Germany, on the subject of the establishment in that country of "student shelters" designed to provide sleeping accommodations for students, in order to encourage the wanderlust among them, a harmless cause that it is thought would be popular among American college boys and school boys and a source of desirable educational opportunity.
The movement originated in Austria in 1884, but reached Germany a few years later, and at present that country outranks Austria, both in the number of "herbergen" and in point of attendance.
The institution of the Schuele Herbergen, which it is thought would fit in with the college and school life in America, was the outgrowth of a desire of young students of their own country. During every vacation large numbers of students make foot tours through the picturesque parts of the Fatherland, and so general has this "tramping" become among the young student population, that it is beginning to assume the guise of a national trait.
Wander clubs have been organized to further systematic outings and excursions, and these have made walking almost a science. An ample knapsack provides provisions of a trip, and with his aluminum cooker, the tramper is enabled to prepare a savory lunch whenever the occasion may demand. During the vacation period of 1913, the various herberenberg offered a total of 109,400 combinations of midday and breakfast, averaging together about $2\frac{1}{2}$ cents to 11., 080 students—Providence Evening Bulletin.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
The open season for bagging K U. professors has already begun.
K. U. Hughmoore insists that the headline over the Chinese baseball story yesterday was yellow.
William friau doubled and scored on Jeffries Jewell won in the tenth when God-hit.-A newspaper accuse of a William Jewell baseball game.
A college paper is a publication to which 10 per cent of the students subscribe and which 99 per cent criticize—Ex.
Spring weathers here with violets,
And bubbling rills and runs.
The soil is full of onion sets,
The mail-box full of duns.
NO WONDER
A woodpecker lit on a freshman's bead.
And settled down to drill;
He bored away for half a day
And finally broke his bill.
—Illinois Sifren.
CAMPUS OPINION
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The statement published in Wednesday's Kansan and accredited to me, and the itemized account of damages published in Tuesday's Kansan, Willis, were both unauthorized productions of some cub journalists' fertile brain. Here are the facts of the case.
THOSE DAMAGES
Tuesday afternoon J. W. Dyche and myself went to Mrs. Willis' home and inspected all damages done. Since those in the paddle party were from all the upper classes the girls had to be responsible, directly or indirectly, for the damage, and no assessment can or will be levied on the class. However, as a matter of courtesy to Mrs. Willis, I agreed to aid her in gaining recompense, and to ask a few of the boys to take up a collection of the damaged things done. The damage should be paid by those who were out that night, and I know that all the follows will want to do the square thing and contribute.
J. M. Johnson.
the "approximate estimate of damages" published Tuesday was not accredited to Mrs. Willis.
The quotation from Johnson which appeared Wednesday was written by a reporter who interviewed him for a purpose of putting a statement.—Ed.
THE STORY OF MY LIFE
Brock Pembermont, first name Ralph, was born in Leewardworth twenty-eight years ago. (The use of the third person in writing this is calculated to be deceptive as in the case of the effulgent auto-biographies in "Who's Who.") At the age of two the shame of his father, a man upon his moving conscious son, upon his moving conscious son, to Emporia his family to Emporia.
By Brock Pemberton
There he attended the city schools, being graduated from the high school "cum laude" at the tender age of 16. The "laudus" ended with his valedictory address written upon a card he received with the aid of an able article in the Outlook and a professor in the College of Emporia. Adopting that Presbyterian college as his alma mater he succeeded in reaching the second semester of his senior year before he began his undergraduate studies. These expulations were for inciting riots against the Normal students at football games, arson, planting intermittent alarm clocks in chapel, hurling the chapel organ downstairs and similar harm to his students. In conclusion of his third farewell the college president said: "We hope you get your degree, but not here."
During these turbulent years our hero had been chasing society and school items for the Emporia Gazette and when his his Ethiopian record followed him to the University of Pennsylvania, which institution he tried to enter the following fall, he went to work on the Philadelphia Bulletin. He managed to last till the new year. He made a day from re-reading an assignment to the city editor, he informed that inefficient individual that his idea of news differed vastly from the efficient Mr. Pemberton's.
A few days later later Mr. Pemberton again at work on the Emporia Gazette, Bill Allen White's idea of news coinciding more harmoniously with his degree at the University of Kansas where he succeeded in catching up with his degree and a reputation as an ambidextrous fusser.
After more work on the Gazette he went to New York, taking with him a suitcase full of clothes and a trunfal of letters of recommendation. After distributing the letters he got a job on The Evening Mail. After a year and a half on the Mail during which time he served as general reporter, ship news reporter and dramatic critic and editor, his experiences the rate and supreme importance of leaving The Mail flat on its back. "When do you want to quit?" inquired the managing editor meekly. "I don't want to quit," answered the interpid youth; "I have quit."
Then he began work as assistant dramatic editor of The World, in which job he has continued ever since. It is said of him that he knows the real names of all the chorus girls in New York, but Mr. Pemberton denies this as a base libel. He says he knows few members of the chorus but that his work has given him a broad acquaintance with the stars. He asks him to be a living exemplification of the Kansas State motto: "Ad Astra Per Aspera." Mr. Pemberton's address is The
"Don't you think you ought to be treated for the drink habit?"
Mr. Pemberton's address is The City Club, New York.

WE never repeat the same clothes order for two different men. Good merchant tailoring never calls for two suits precisely alike, for no two men are the same.
Ready-made clothing can never compare in excellence with clothes which you tell us to have tailored-to-individual order by
Ed. V. Price & Co.
and we can prove it.
