UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN,
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kaman aims to picture the students of University fields as they go to further Kansas to more print materials. The University holds, to plan for favorite topics, to be clean; to be cheerful; to be careful; to be curious about more serious problems to user heads; and to be diligent in helping the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1914
Unruly blasts wait on the tender spring—Shakespeare.
THE WEARIN' O THE CAP Good for the freshmen. By a decisive vote they have decided to continue a custom which now has an excellent chance to become traditional at the University.
The classmen of '17 should not consider their "postage stamps" as a mark of degradation but should remember that the freshmen, the senior laws, and the engineers are the only Mount Fellow students who foster fellowship by joining together and appearing with a distinguishing label.
STILL MOVING
The caps, the canes, and the sweaters should be followed by characteristic customs in all other classes and all other schools. It is practically impossible for students to have too many ways of getting together on a common democratic footing.
The rules committee is planning and sweating as rules committees should, and the league is assuming definite shape rapidly.
In spite of the fact that Manager Hamilton does not see his way clear toward furnishing a baseball or two to the boarding house leaguers, the organizations are managing to hobble along with a surprising amount of spryness.
Twenty or more teams are expected to be represented at the meeting Thursday night when the recommendations of the rules committee will be threshed over.
And by the way, if your club is not already entered it should do so by that time.
GRADES AND A STANDARD Dean Tempin's stand for the standardization of grades is gratifying and shows a likelihood of actual results.
Why isn't the suggestion a good one to send out questionaires among the seniors in order that some basis may be obtained to work from? Seniors know what courses are unfairly hard or unfairly easy and they ought to be glad to express frank opinions for the purpose of standardizing grades (and perhaps courses themselves) for the oncoming classes.
In order to get anywhere a start will have to be made. Get facts from the students. Conclusions will follow.
GOOD WORK
Thanks are due Rowland's book store because of two recent gifts to the Student Union, a Kansas banner and several shrats.
The merchants are showing their
interest in the University this spring in a materialistic manner. References have already been made in this column to several other donations to the Union and a number of live merchants are offering cups to the winners in the various baseball leagues.
There's always room for one more loyal donor, however.
WHY ACCEPT PAY AT ALL?
News note: The Lawrence merchants have asked the State Auditor to send professors' checks to Lawrence from Topeka more promptly each month.
Heavens and chinch bugs! Will our faculty idly sit by and allow this effort to go through unfoubt?
Horrors and sleeping sicknesses! Just think of this wicked attempt to hurry the underpaid professors's remittance into the coffers of these merchants—for such prosaic articles as breakfast food, or pants!
To arms! The faculty must show its spirit and prove conclusively that the professorial blood still runs red.
Anyone can see that the old slow going plan is the better.
Let the state continue to show our revered but self-assertionless instructors that it still has the same fatherly thoughtfulness illustrated by the paternal ancestor who wrote, "There's no use sending Jim's allowance just yet; he'll spend it as soon as he gets it anyway."
HARVARD KNIFES BASEBALL
PLANC
Harvard will have none of the current baseball slang when the season opens. The powers of the Harvard Crimson, which is the undergraduates' daily newspaper of the college, have decided that a spade will be called a spade in the columns of the Crimson hereafter.
The words describing the baseball games of the Harvard teams will be perfectly pure and guaranteed to be in good usage. And withal, the stories of the games will be so clear that the students can easily archaeology and 'Indian philology will understand what happened on the ball grounds.
In the first place, the word so dear to the space account of the undergraduate correspondent will be barked "Varsity" is the triangular question.
In the Crimson, Harvard will have a "university baseball team," not a "varsity combination." The men will steal bases instead of "purloring," "pilfering," or "swing" them. The batters will hit the ball out the outfield instead of "slugging the pill to the gardens."
ENDS AND ODDLETS
No, Mr. Freshman, the suggestion to wear the caps today was not an April Fool's joke!
SENTIMENTALLY
The Student Council of Kansas University declared the office of the editor-in-chief a vacant. The treasurer over a disagreement of the Council will some of the views of the editor-in-chief. A great deal of sentiment has been stirred up over the matter—Purdue Exponent.

WITH K. U. POETS
TO GOD, THE ARCHITECT
BY HARRY KEMP, FORMER STUDENT
ALICE, WHERE ART THOU?
Three different varieties of Alice appeared in the advertisements of last night's Kansan. There was Alice Eldridge, pianist; Alice Joyce, peerless photoplay star; and Miss Allys, young woman of education and foreign travel.
Who thou art I know not,
But this much I know:
Thon hast set the Pleiades
in a silver row;
Town hast reared a colored wall
Twist the night and day.
Town hast sent the trackless woods
Louse upon their way;
Thou hast made the flowers to bloe;
And the stars to shine,
Hid rare gems and richest ore
In the tunneled mine;
But, chief of all thy wondrous works Supreme of all thy plan— Thou hast put an upward reach In the heart of man'
TWAS EVER THUS
Up in Lawrence, Kans., where droop brihm hats are so common as to attract no attention, writes a K. U. graduate in the Kansas City Star, a wrong-minded city administration is at loggershead with the town's natural rulers over the matter of some posters tacked to trees and telegraph poles. Nay, the long arm of the law has even reached out to drag a few students from bed at dead of night and toss them into the city office, it implies, or the credit of the long arm had to wait until they had gone to bed before it caught up with them.
But the row might as easily have arisen over any other inconsequential thing. Always there has been enmity between town and gown... There was, for instance, the famous Scoop Club edition of the Lawrence Journal. One of the town's dailies was turned over to the students for one edition. Then a bit ditched it. And a bunch whose sociological researches in the beervending part of town had been painstaking and thorough, printed a list of the places in town where beer might be bought. Also, the names of those who owned the houses rented for joints—and there was a town official or two in the bunch. The edition sold out fast enough. In May, the day after Monday, when a deputy sheriff drove up on the Hill with a buggy load of subpoenas, citing students to appear as witnesses. They swooped down on us in class and slaughter was appalling. But somebody escaped and bore the fatal tidings to the Law Building, where those culprits not engaged in tossing pennons on the front step were taken away. Doc Burdick's classes. The messengers got there ahead of the deputy and a large number made their getaway through the open windows, for it was spring and the campus was dotted with "queeners." There were one or two who, in an extremity of caution, even went to Topeka and remained a day or two. And the Lawrence Journal, just to show its heart was taken away. Doc Burdick wrote all of the students cited as witnesses. Which, it was considered, branded a man a rum bound and an enemy of the republic...
And yet, for all our pretended hostility, we were really on pretty good terms with the town. As a point of honor, one was the sworn enemy of the police department—all three of them—although I personally have had a tenderness even for them since an evening when we met at the school to two friends who were feeding ice cream to their girls. The force, when appealed to, grinned at our friends and refused to pursue.
Of course, we had our natural allies in the town. Cab drivers could be counted on, for instance, for assistance in any dark deed that one had afoot. Theirs was a loyalty quite out of proportion to the modest stipend they demanded. They were willing to help you evade the law for the pure joy of the thing; they were-cab drivers and lineal who owned all of the Forty Thieves. It was always a mark of special distinction if you had a cab driver of your own, some battered Jehu who could be depended upon to take you downtown free once in a while, salute you on the street, smoke your cigars and "charge it" without further explanation. I saw my own Jehu, who bore the curiously lamb-like name of Pearl, last time I was in town, and he handed me the many gifts I once distinguished him and was driving a motor car. It wasn't much of a motor car, it must be admitted, but all the same it robbed him of his birthright of picturesqueness...
Flosse Footlights—Why did you go out with young Globe when Jack was waiting for you at the stage door?
Kitty Lightfoot--Why, he is so rich. He even has Diamond tires on his car.—Ex.
"There is something about you, dear," he sighed, "that appeals to me."
