Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kans. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate news by going further "to more clearly transmit the news by standing up and presenting it to students; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be positive; to be more serious problems in user heads; to be more serious problems in faculty; to be more serious problems in the students of the University." TUESDAY, APRIL 14, 1914. 'Tis the taught already that profits by teaching—Robert Browning. THE LAST STRETCH It has been mighty easy to post- pone that necessary hard intensive study until "next week" or "next month" all semester, but the limit in postponement has 'about been reached. GET THEIR FEET WET Easter vacation is over and the monotonous grind to the end has begun, with only a slight ripple of joy at the vacation on the first day of next month. It may be too late now to dig in and make up all that back work but it is absolutely certain that one cannot wait much longer and have any success avoiding that long red line of Flunks. So students who have studied too sparingly up to this time must surprise the professors, satisfy themselves, and get started on real business. The freshmen and sophomores could easily settle their traditional difficulties in a harmless manner by inaugurating a tug-of-war across one end of Potter lake. This custom is used at Ohio State University and has been suggested freely on the hill since the big paddling last week. Clashes in the student district at night are too dangerous to be continued. The Student Council should adopt the tug-of-war or some other substitute which will be just as much fun and entirely unobjectionable. THE PROM The junior prom is one of the big social functions of the year. It is one of those events which lasts in a graduate's mind. Every junior should go. He owes it to himself, to his class, and to the seniors. Only once in a lifetime does he have the chance under these circumstances. The money spent now will be forgotten in a month's time but the Prom will never be. THE PLAY THIS YEAR The renaissance in dramatics came sooner than it was expected, in fact the University will not be allowed to witness the flight of two successive semesters without an amateur production. The "dark ages" in this popular branch of student activity will be few—and the University is to be congratulated because of this fact. The union of all dramatic organizations was the proper thing to do in order to make student plays more worthy of the University. For this reason "The Fortune Hunter" should be better staged and the parts better acted than ever before in the history of K. U. productions at the Bowersock. The frequenters of Mount Oread will expect something well worthy of enthusiastic support from the Hawk club this spring and may the one-club, one-play-a-year idea live long and prosperously! WHEN SUPPORT IS FUTILE "I supported the Union, I paid my dollar the first night—and I haven't been near the place since." This remark is typical of a type of students whose influence is baneful at the University, although, luckily, the class is not in the ascendant The man has paid his dollar, but the Union idea would fail tomorrow if he had many followers. Money will NOT make the Union go—highly desirable though financial assistance may be. The advantage which will make the permanent Union succeed eventually, and the reason that the temporary Union is already succeeding so well in its modest way, is that the men of the University there have a place to mingle with other students at any time on a democratic plane. Students who drop a dollar in the Union slot and then withdraw to more exclusive haunts are but one notch better than those who withhold their money, as well as their personality. ENDS AND ODDLETS University investigation proves that Lawrence water is good, bacteriologically, which simply accelerates its content that nothing can save it. Reading that line "books in the running brooks" on a sunny lazy day, makes one wish that text books were there. "What is that heavy automobile truck loaded with?" "Millinery bills." Is it a coincidence that along with the announcement that titled English women are commencing to loop the loop in aeroplanes a large London firm lays in an extensive supply of telescopes? And now arises many protests from the home districts over the Easter toll bills. Thomas Edison complains that his wife will not let him go back to work, and every married man in the country is using her as an example. The annual pilgrimage of grand- nothers to the land of the departed s due with the opening of the base- ball season. AN ENGINEERS BANQUET The accompanying "specifications together with a blueprint plan showing the seating arrangement, punch table and cabinet in the folder like real specifications, formed the menu and souvenir of a farewell dinner given to a member of city engineer's work of Waste burger firm, by his engineering associates. Body—The main portion of the work shall consist of Chicken Crocodile and other Meat, Peas, Potatoes and Jelly being used sparingly which, at the direction of the engineer, shall be subject to rigorous tests and inspection. Foundation. The foundation shall be of Oysters on Half Shell laid in a bed of mortal composed of one part tobacco to three parts ketchup the whole covered with cheese and shall be placed before the shell has been obtained its initial set, to the end that it may, with the litter, form a compact and homogeneous mass. Crackers may be used as "plums" and wherever, in case of large amounts, necessary, reinforcement of one half inch round celery shall be used. Coping—In placing the Walderof Salad, the coarse aggregate of which shall be not larger than one-half inch in diameter, than the proper care shall be used that the proper depth be obtained so that the Cheese, Crackers, Ice Cream and Cake may be worked into the mussel and the solid or monolithic structure. **rmish- At the completion of each section, it shall immediately be given a coat of heavy dark Coffee, and as soon as this has dried, the whole shall be gone out. The latter to be subject at all times to the inspection and control of the engineer—Purdue Exponent.** WITH K. U. POETS The sun awns down in the west. To the land where the evening star Hang bright on the evening's breast. To the land where my loved ones By WILLIAM HEREBERT CARRHUT, 'So Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the Unit SONG AT SUNSET But the sun, when the night is done, Comes up over the bitter matter. Ah, if I were the setting sun I never should rise again! The Daily Kansan will not print communications where the authorship is not known. The editor is in charge and the editorial board concerning the Junior Prom which cannot be printed until the communicant discloses his identity. "Names are not required" for communication and not evidence that the "Campus Opinions" are written in good faith. CAMPUS OPINION WANTS K. U. CONGRESS The changing of the name of the University Council to that of the University Senate to some extinct caribbean tribe was a custom that the mere altering of a title. A new light has been thrown upon the unnatural relation between the Council of the faculty members and the Men's Student Council. That there is great dissatisfaction over the position of the Student Council is acknowledged by all. It seems to be a very general opinion among the students that the powers of this body are more important than a figurehead in any important matter should the faculty disapprove of its action. The faculty has taken the first step and become the University Senate. The title of our upper house in state and federal government, has been adopted. Will the students take advantage of this opening? Should not she be allowed to represent the Representatives and make the unique government of the United States a reality at the University of Kansas. Matters of concern to our University should be of as much concern to the student body as to the faculty. The student body is really represented in the government of the institution and their representatives pass on the various acts of legislation, the present feeling of unrest and distrust will vanish. At the present time the students are being governed by a system which long ago ceased to exist in democratic countries. The appointment of the members of the faculty is entirely outside of student control. Still these self same appointed professors organize themselves into a body which as we have seen, is similar in its structure to a similar body world, in a strong oligarchy. We have government. Why not have representation? That is the nucleus of the American idea of liberty. Kansas is a progressive state as to its government, but its state university should not be represented by representative government recognized by this state and nation. THE STORY OF MY LIFE By C. L. Edson, Former Student. There was another chap named Edson in the University when I entered. He was a bad actor and was finally expelled. I inherited his bad reputation although I "never done nothin'"! When I was a freshman I started a magazine and called it the K. U. Automobile. That was a new word then not found in any dictionary, but I grew to have a name no other paper ever had. So you see, I'm an original cuss. I never got a degree from K U. One credit I earned from K U. One university group took from the records, so I was April foiled on my degree. I worked for the Kansas City Star as long as they would let me then became a farmer in North Arkansas. My job was working at leading U. nearly starved to the highest salary I ever drew is too small to be mentioned—until last week when my luck turned. I am now writing the book. I will kill and am known on Broadway as "the man from Arkansas." I am drawing a bigger salary than you would believe, but I don't advise any student to follow the poetry of my teacher as I should. I tough road, and if it had been three feet longer, I know I never would have lasted till I got there. n many ways doth the full heart re- veal The presence of the love it would conceal.—Coleridge. Seest thou a man wise in his own conceal? There is more hope in a conceal than a mere concealment.
