The Daily Kansan aims to picture the students of Kansas to go further. *Jamie* printing the news by standing behind her favorite notebooks; to be clean; to be cheerful; to have more serious problems to widen heads; to be able to improve her ability to succeed at the University.

THURSDAY, APRIL 2.1914
DOING THINGS AT ONCE The Student Council, by selecting a PERMANENT Union committee at the meeting Tuesday following out the suggestions in the Daily Kansan, has the right idea.
Nothing is easier than to postpone work on the eventual Union until next week, next month, or until some shadowy future when "conditions will be more favorable."
Now is the accepted time in making any effort a success. The present Council can turn over to its successor plans which are fairly complete and comprehensive—and it looks as though that end will be attained.
THE NEW BANISTER
Making the steps safe on dark nights when the weather is bad is the important thing. If experience proves that the new banister is inadequate, the cost should be no bar to the installment of a light. It shouldn't be necessary to wait until a serious accident makes the improvement too plainly needed, either.
If the cement steps at the foot of the library cut-off can be made safe by the erection of a banister, the plan of the University authorities will probably be just as good—and a great deal cheaper—than the suggestion to erect a street light at that place.
CASH IN
The Student Union is calling for money. Not new fees or pledges but funds promised by the students and which should have been paid weeks ago.
The Student Union is yours. It is not a private concern. You do not owe a dollar to the Student Council, to the Union committee, or to Duke Kennedy, chairman of the committee; you owe it to yourself.
It is up to YOU to get busy and pay YOUR debt.
Don't forget the meeting of the "Hash-house" league at the Student Union tonight.
BASERALL, RULES, ETC.
The rules drawn up by the committee will be revised and passed, and if you want a part in the discussion you must be at the meeting. The probabilities are that the regulations as they now stand suit about one out of ten club members but they can certainly be revised to suit the majority.
It might be wise to remember that more rules mean more trouble and worry. The fewer laws on petty particulars, the better it will be for all concerned.
HUMOR
The sense of humor of some people is almost unfathomable. They tie a tin-can to a dog's tail and laugh themselves into tears at the antics of the frightened animal; they break a plate-glass window on Halloween night and can hardly survive their glee; they play wierd April fool jokes on professors and laugh up their respective sleeves at the brilliancy of their humorous ideas.
The average person who unfortunately cannot appreciate this sort of wit, merely pites the perpetrators—or ignores their capers in disguise.
THE MISSOURI RIVER
"Way back in the pleistocene history of the rivers of this country, the Missouri river did not flow into the Gulf of Mexico, but emptied into Hudson Bay. The rivers of Kansas also flowed into the Hudson Bay. The Ohio drained into the Pacific ocean and the Missouri flowing along the Wakarusa south of Mt. Oreal." writes Prof. J. E. Todd, assistant professor of geology and mineralogy in a current issue of Science.
"When the great glacier came down and covered the central north of America, it forced the rivers that once had a northeasterly direction are now channels and streams to rivers merely retained their new courses," he says.
late new channels and when the river holdtoward the rivers merely named their new courses," he says.
Professor Todd traces the course of the river when the field of ice extended down to Kansas as far asaska, Lawrence, and Kansas City. The high bluff of Kansas City held the ice from going far south. Probably done. Don helped so, too, which made the Missouri river came west from Wyoming as far as Fort Stevenson, North Dakota, where it was stopped by the ice field from flowing on to the Hudson and was turned south along the flow of ice to Plain View, Nebraska, where it cut across a new territory. From Plain View the great river followed the ice edge across Nebraska until it came to the Big Blue river, a tributary of the Kansas. From here on, the Missouri had easy going until it came to Topeka. Also, there were several large lakes for a time in
"When the Missouri got as far as Topoka" Professor Todd continues, "the glacier had extended across the Kaw. Here the water backed up into a lake and finally cut a channel through the divide and formed the Wakarusa which runs parallel to the Kaw until just below Lawrence.
"Before the glacier came the Kansas river joined the Platte river of Nebraska near Weston, Missouri and continued on eastward."
Professor Todd points at the various levels of the land along the Missouri and that just a few miles east; in each case the level was several hundred feet lower. Just forty miles east of Fort Stevenson the level is 600 feet lower. From this two eastward there is an island, all the way to the Hudson Bay. 900 away. The Gulf is just twice as far. When the ice withdrew from Nebraska the river dropped back to the better bed just to the east which it still has. At one time with an earlier glacier period the Missouri river cut across from Nebraska City to the central part of Missouri, not coming near Kansas City. But when the Kansas glacier had brought the river through Manhattan, Topke, Lawrence, and Kansas City, the river was unable to get back past the high bluffs of Kansas City.
So today the vast drainage of the United States is turned in the Gulf of Mexico just because a groundwater leak has flooded the land and forced the little streams before it.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
The old saying that "Life is one d—— thing after another" is being literally demonstrated to the editor of the University Daily Kansan. Everything from a jail sentence in the morning to being legislated out of the county headed County Council at night has come his way. And still he continues to reign supreme in the editorial sanctum.—Ottawa Campus.

ADVICE TO THE ADVISOR To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: I was one of the few "prospective sons-in-law" who attended chapel service last Friday and heard the address of the Advisor of Women. This address was announced as a statement of the purposes and principles to be followed in her work by this new official.
CAMPUS OPINION
Several of the views expressed by Mrs. Brown were decidedly interesting. One of them especially, attracted my attention.
The Advisor of the "girls" said—I think her exact words were—"I have always believed in smoking, as long as it did no injury." Now, I am an old-fashioned boy, trained (for which I shall never cease to be thankful to my dear, old-fashioned mother) in the belief that the use of tobacco is useless, expensive, offensive, and dangerous. The people of Kansas seem to have some such opinion or they would never have adopted the law against cigarettes. The Board of Administration apparently has some such prejudice as evidenced by the maintenance of a "welfare" department by their non-smoking rule and this department largely devoted to the anti-tobacco crusade. It would seem advisable for the University management to get together on its nicotine policy.
poor.
I have been told by one of my "sisters" that the Advisor of Women stated in her talk to the "girls" alone that it was her ambition to get these same "girls" to regard it as their mission in the University to improve the moral condition of the young men. Now, what am I to do when a bevy of teenagers engage in sagittal zeal, undertake to convert me to this revised but authorized version of the credo tobaccoins? And then, what account must I take of the views of my mother—my old fashioned, real one at home, I mean? There is another and yet more serious phase of the battle for women. Did you now did not limit her approval to masculine smoking, but to cases or individuals "as long as it did no injury." It is said that smoking among women is increasing. I hope not, but will not this strange teaching from the Chapel rostrum give encouragement to this temptation. And ought it not, if it is
I have a sickening image of myself coming home some evening and finding my wife enveloped in a cloud while pulling away at a meerschaum. Should I find my tongue for remonstrance I might be told that the performance was in accordance with the teaching of the official Advisor of Women in our Alma Mater. In view of this dreadful possibility any one may try to guess in which direction I shall not turn when I start out, as did a famous ancestor of ours, in search for a wife.
Mrs. Eustace Brown said this morning that her statement in regard to smoking was "I believed in smoking UNTIL I learned that it was injurious. That was many, many years ago," she added. "What I had to say on this subject was very moderate indeed since my personal knowledge and personal experience has been enough to make me extremely antagonistic to the tobacco habit."
