UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the students in the University to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas and views of their classmates; to be clients; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be caring; to be more serious problems to user heads; to be more aptly able to students of the University.
THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 1914.
We always like those who admire us; we do not always like those whom we admire.—La Rochefoucauld.
ANYBODY ELSE?
Every night at the Student Union some man will enjoy a long luxurious evening settled back in a fifty dollar leather chair—one of the three-thirds-comfort 1914-model types.
The Sachems have voted the Union such a gift and the students will call their name ever blessed for starting the sensible habit of leaving memorials of this utilitarian sort.
With a clock installed by Mr. Gustafson, a picture presented by the University Book Store, and a chair bought by the Sachems, the Union is faring quite well at the start, thank you, with gifts.
There is plenty of room for others, however, the house is not crowded.
WANTED: MUTUAL ACTION
"But we have no teachers," says Uncle Jimmy.
The speaker from the School of Law favored more specialized courses for freshman laws on Student Day. The venerable dean of the barristers thinks changes should be made in the schedule so that students would get work which will be more likely to fit them for their upper class studies.
If special courses were arranged in the College why couldn't the regular instructors in that school handle the situation without further expense? No more students would be enrolled. They would merely be placed together in classes particularly suited for the needs of those who intend to study law.
The students, the instructors and the suggested courses are here. The three need to be brought together.
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
It has been suggested that the rules of the boarding house league be changed this year so that clubs can go outside for players, no player being allowed to play on more than one team.
This will enable clubs of few members to combine and play, and clubs lacking in two or three players to go outside for the necessary ones.
However, such rules as these must be passed by the committee which will meet at a later date, and managers and captains should be using their gray-matter on these and similar rulings, preparatory to that meeting.
ALMOST UNBELIEVEABLE
The other day a lecture in phil-
osophy attempted to steal a march
on his audience by speaking at two instead of at four o'clock. In some mysterious way the news of the change had permeated the city, and by one-thirty the crowd at the door was so great that the hall had to be opened. Fifteen minutes later it was impossible for the students to get in. In the heat and the throng, two young girls fainted.
No, this did not occur at the University of Kansas. It happened, according to the New York Evening Post, at the College de France when M. Bergson, the eminent philosopher, attempted to keep out the general public by changing the hour of his class.
EDUCATION THAT IS FLEX- TURE?
Extracts from an article in the New
Times, Annalist, by A. W. Douglas.
The educated, but often untraveled, thought of the East is prone to class the great State University of the West as an institution of accomplishment, with culture on the side. Yet in sober truth the State Unive- sity like Lord or for its has taken a kind of forsake its curriculum includes learning from how to milk a cow to the study of astronomy, and it teaches the habits of the predatory chinch bug and tells of the precession of the equinoxes, with equal thoroughness and like impartiality.
The spirit, therefore, of the Western State University is that of the people among whom it lives, for it is the spirit of militant democracy that judges ideas and institutions by their adaptability and fitness to present needs and conditions, and not by what our remote ancestors thought about them. Naturally these institutions are more leaders in teaching science and intensified in teaching science, since they early realized the fact, now apparent to all thinking men, that the farmer holds in his hands the solution to many of our most pressing social and economic problems.
The natural response to these unanswerable examples of efficiency in things material, has been steadily growing appropriations by the Legislatures of the respective States because of the increasing favor with which the rural population views these institutions. It is a curious fact that the State unites better known and better appreciated everywhere in the country than in our cities. So today their yearly incomes range from $600,000 to $2,000,000, according to the wealth and public spirit of the State, are but the beginnings of what they can reasonably hope for in the future. Thus have they effectually shattered that ancient fetish that higher education must mainly depend upon those oiled philanthropists, so of whom after accumulation by darker ways seek to make their peace with God and man by munificent bequests, thus vainly imagining that they are fooling anybody but themselves.
It is useless to make any comparison between the State universities and the great endowed colleges if the East, for they occupy different fields of endeavor, but it must be apparent to every thoughtful observer that in the varied field of intelligent achievement the State universities of the West will have few rivals.
According to news reports ultraviolet rays will digest food, and one naturally wonders if they will leave a dark-brown taste.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
New York City may boast of its "Four Hundred" but it hasn't anything on our "four hundred" who graduate this spring.
If anyone wishes to use this column for the expression of an opinion in regard to the Student Council Daily Kansan editor matter the name of the communicant must appear in print. Since the Daily Kansan is interested in the discussion there must be no doubt as to who is responsible for any contributions to this department on the subject—Ed.

CAMPUS OPINION
CHANGE LECTURE HOUR
NOTICE
hour, at least when the lecture comes on Tuesday or Friday. I believe there are many students who would like to hear the lectures but are unable to attend at 4:00 o'clock. If it is impossible to have them given at the chapel hour it is surely possible to have them at 4:30 instead of 4:00 for the benefit of those who have 3:30 classes.
Student
DOMINATED
Take the proposition that you are dominated by the faculty. "Faculty" is a general term. Some one of them must be guilty. We'll find him by the "method of resides." I am well enough acquainted with from fifty to a hundred to know that none of them do it. Among the rest, are the engineering faculty, the entire biological group, the School of Fine Arts, and—oh, Johnny, is it the Department of Home Economics?
To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
It is shocking, the way in which you have changed of late years.
There is the little matter of faculty domination. Nothing of such like affected you in the good old sophomoric days when you and I climbed to the fifth floor of Fraser to learn Argumentation, how to hook up the fallacies and demolish them, from the Student Council that you are just that weak-knuckle and spineless a creature.
Verily, the good die young, and you are ageing fast. Let us try out some of our old Augmentation tests on the reasons you are "deposed" for:
To the Editor of the Daily Kanan:
I wonder if there is any legitim-
ary basis for the lay authorities
by the Economics Department could
not be given at the regular chapel
Then, as to the Kansan's being a detriment over the state, on the "testimony of the faculty." But if the faculty dominates the Kansan, they are goring their own bull. The Student Council ought to dismiss the faculty, and give the poor editor his chance, or dominate it themselves.

"I have made my last move," de-
scribes the swimmer as he dropped
over Nenad.
"I have made my last move" declares Webster—our leader, our president. What ho! A Daniel come to judgment! (Apologies to the Prophet and to Daniel W.) When a man has debased his office, shamed his class, and brought discredit upon himself and his henchmen, it certainly is time to say, "I have made my last move."
RECALLS
What! Has some one had the ef-
frontory to cross our Webster?
I believe that it is the general student opinion that more disgrace has been brought upon the Student Council by the recent vengeful, childish, and asinine personal attacks instigated by W. Holloway, C. Carson, et al.
"Not wanting to be personal at all." I think the presidency of the senior class more fit to be declared known than any other office on the hill.
Certain members of our flock of Solons, doubless owing to the impressive oratory of our peculiar president, who is wearing his heart a way for our interests, have certainly brought no credit upon themselves or upon the senior class by its subservience to the man higher up.
Has the Men's Student Council outlined its usefulness?

Just the thing on these stormy nights. You can have the jolliest kind of a time concocting something on it.
Tis a Pleasure to Use the Electric
Way
No messy flame to bother with.
No fuel or matches to hunt; a turn of the switch starts the heat.
You will use the Electric Chafing Dish twice as much as an ordinary one because it is ever ready.
It is always convenient when there are guests.
