Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kans The Daily Kaman aims to picture the challenges underway for students to go further and nearly in response to the news by standing for the policies, families; to be clients; to be cheerful; to be serious; to be curious; to be more serious problems to user heads; to be more serious problems to university students of the University. FRIDAY, APRIL 3, 1914. So much is a man worth as es teems himself>-Rabelais. You can't pass very many quizzes without preparation and the better your preparation, the more chances you have of making a I. QUIZZES AND FOOTBALL A football team can't win very many games without practice and the more practice, the better its chances of being ever-victorious. Spring workouts began yesterday and will continue for two weeks. The number of men who appear each afternoon on McCook and the amount of "pep" shown will have a direct bearing on the likelihood of Kansas winning the Missouri game next November. Do you know a football player who hasn't donned a suit? HERE'S TO THE WOMEN With the last "Faculty Tea" on Thursday, the women of the University close a most successful series of social events. While we have been waiting and pleading for a bigger and broader social life for K. U. the women have been busy laying the cornerstone of a new social structure. This year they have done their best to be hostesses to every student in the University. The different schools have been brought together with the result that students have a social interest more nearly in common. The women connected with the University are to be congratulated for doing what they could to unify social life. May their efforts continue. ALL "FANS" ATTENTION! Tomorrow is the time. McCook field is the place, and the first baseball game is the attraction. Boarding house leaguers, and fraternity players should be able to give the team valuable criticism from the bleachers. Everybody else ought to go down for the sheer fun of the thing. Remember we had the Valley championship last year. Help repeat the feat this season by showing your interest and enthusiasm. ANOTHER YEAR The School of Pharmacy has announced that after this year no student will be admitted without first having had four years work in high school. The standard of College entrance requirements is being raised gradually but certainly. The change is particularly noticeable in the professions. The School of Law as well as the School of Pharmacy has seen this difference in the past two years. Education is a serious business and graduates of an institution with high standing must be better prepared than they were a few years ago. The extra year that students spend on Mount Oread will be worth while many times over because of increased efficiency after graduation. GOOD THINGS COMING The Y. M. C. A. staff announced yesterday has the responsibility of leading the association in what promises to be its most successful year, the one beginning next September. A week for religion with John R. Mott in attendance has already been planned. Incidently, however, if you have not paid your dues this year, or if you can use a membership card this summer, the best time to see Con Roffman is today. Extracts From K. U. Congressional Record (Now that we have a University Senate instead of a University Council on Mount Oread, the Daily Kansan considers that it is fulfilling its duty to its readers by publishing verbatim reports of the congressional proceedings from time to time. Only the most interesting and important discussions will be reprinted.) On the motion of the Senator from the Department of Physiology the senator was swearing in aorous meeting was dispensed with because of press of business. The Senate met at 4:30 o'clock p. m. Senator Boynton: Mr. President. The Vice President: The Senator from the Department of Justice. Senator Boynton I have here a petition from the Men's Student Council declaring vacant the office of the editor of the Daily Kansas. The Council solicits the moral support of the senate to get the official out Senator Young: Mr. President. The Vice President: The Senator from the Department of Water Analysis. Senator Young: I wish to go on record as being heartily in favor of the deposition of the present editor of the Daily Kansan, whom I consider to be careless and entirely incompetent to hold down so important a position. Through his negligence or that of some of his satellites I was recently misquoted in the columns of that sheet. Senator Day: Mr. President. The Vice President: The Senator from the Department of Home Economics. Senator Day: The editor should be put out of office. His reporters are a constant source of bother to capuccip the work of my department. Senator Boyton: Mr. President. The Vice President: Does the Senator from the Department of Home Economics yield to the Senator from the Department of Ordinary Economics? Senator Senator Boynton: I wish to go on reason why being constantly on the alert, watching the grades of the editors of the Kansan with an eagle's eye. (Laughter). I am constantly seeking whom I may devour on the Kansas board. (Applause.) I wish to state that the present editor has managed to keep about two jumps ahead of the Committee on Eligibility, of which committee I have the honor of being chairman. In consequence of this fact it seems to me that we should not overlook this additional opportunity to evict the editor from his office. Senator Day: With pleasure. The Vice President: Word has just been received from the Student Council seeking the withdrawal of the request on demand of their con- (The Senate then proceeded to the consideration of routine business.) How does the department of economics expect to get a crowd of students out to hear a lecture on "Corners. Stocks?" and "Investments?" starry Erwin Bard, a director of the American Association for International Conciliation visited the university this week. The Moor Hall Council has the Council-Kansan controversy has reached such a serious stage as all that. ENDS AND ODDLETS GET A LIBRARY DATE Byron is a clever guy. His jingles they are jolly; his wit, his style, would be the height of flayl. But anyway, I'd like to say, Don't be a mid-week "mooner" If you were out the night before Just say you went to Spooner. WITH K. U. POETS —Wiseguy. BY WILLIAM HERBERT CARRUTH, 'So Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the University. UNDER THE LEAVES A carpet all of faded brown, On the gray bough a dove that watches. greeves, Death seemeth here to have his own But the spring violets nestle down Under the leaves. A brow austere and ad gray eyes. Locks in which Care her silver violetes; Hope seethmnt tombed no more to rise from the grave; she loves Love for Love's sunshine saving fescues. love for Love's sunshine waiting lies Under the leaves. THE STORY OF MY LIFE ED. T. HACKNEY I attended the country school near Wellington until I completed the common branches, then took a thorough course in the business college and from the business college went to the Southwestern College at Winfield, and there completed my sophomore year. While in that institution I took an active part in the literary societies and in the oratorical contests, winning second place in the contest and representing Southwestern in the State Oratural Convention. I was business manager of the student paper at Winfield during the last year that I was in that college and also was head of the business college department of that institution. I served as postmaster at Wellington about eightteen months, resigning to go to K. U., where I graduated in 1895 with the degree of A. B. I represented the University in the State oratorical contest in the spring of 1895 and served as editor of the college paper after all of various publications had combined into one paper known as the Student Journal. I was admitted to the bar in 1896 and a few months thereafter was elected to the legislature; was made chairman of the Judiciary Committee, the most important committee in the House and handled the University appropriation bills. I was the only old K. U. student that was a member of the House at that time. Since that time, have devoted myself to the practice of law. I was married in 1900.to Mabel Rogers, former University student and librarian. Since March 20, 1913, have served as a member of the Board of Educational Administration. HARVARD MEN GET JOBS HARVARD MEN SEN 2002 According to a report made by Roger Pierce, general secretary, the appointment office of the Harvard Alumni Association has in the past five years placed 482 Harvard graduates in technical or business positions. In four years the majority of those placed have reported their salary. The average of seventy in 1909-10 was $777; of eighty-five in 1910-11, $806; of seventy-three in 1912-13, $975. Last year there were ninety-nine men placed by the association office and forty by the faculty. The reports of ninety-eight of the former showed aggregate salaries of $300, 440, or an average of $824. There were 600 men remembered in service during the year 253 calls were made upon the association. of the ninety-nine positions filled three in banking and brokerage, four in engineering, two in insurance, fifty-six in manufacturing, six in journalism in journalism, five in public service corporations, one in real estate and management and six in secretaryships. Of the forty positions filled by the faculty twenty-four were by the Graduate School of Applied Science, eight by the Graduate School of Business Administration, five by the chemistry division and three by the finance department. The thirty-one salaries reported aggregate $355,33 an average of $1144. Of the total 139 positions filled in 1912-13, sixty-six were in Massachusetts and six elsewhere in New England. New York gave eighteen, Pennsylvania ten, Illinois nine, Ohio eight, District of Columbia five, Missouri seven, New Jersey one each other States one each. There were also two in South America and one each in Panama, the Philippines and Canada. Mr. Pierce reports that "The office is not as well known among employers at large as we hope it may be, particularly among those in the mercantile and manufacturing concerns, inasmuch as we have an increasing number of each year's gardaining class registered at this office." The services of the office are free alike to employers and to Harvard men seeking employment.—Boston Transcript. "He is regular upstart." "Yes. I heard he always rose to the occasion."-Pennsylvania Punch Bowl.
