UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kans.
The Dalton Kissan aims to picture the undergraduate student in a position of further than merely printing the notes by standing on the paper no longer necessary; to be clean; to be cheerful
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1914
Let us never forget that the cultivation of the earth is the most important labor of man—Daniel Webster.
NOT A SWAN SONG
No doubt it is highly impertinent for the editor of the Daily Kansan to continue to be connected with this newspaper after the Men's Student Council has declared his office vacant. But since the Council as yet has not chosen his successor; and since our subscribers probably will expect to see the Daily Kansan, including the editorial page appear as usual; and incidently since the Council has no authority to say who shall or who shall not be editor; the present officials probably will remain in charge for a day or two at least.
The entire difficulty seems to be that the Daily Kansan has not seen fit, at all times to criticize the Council favorably. Certain members of the Council, therefore, get a resolution passed declaring the editor out of office.
The Daily Kansan is a serious business proposition involving the receipt and expenditure of $6000 annually. The paper cannot, certainly, turn itself over to political control in order that politicians might get better support for their propaganda. And when it comes to financial backing under such an arrangement, the students had had too much experience with Jayhawker loss-assessments in other years to want anything more of that sort.
The Student Council members, at least those who voted affirmatively on the ousting motion last night, by refusing to investigate methods of choosing the editor at other schools, or to look into the failure of an electing-the-editor plan in force at the University in its earlier days, showed that they were evidently after scalp, not facts.
LET THE GOOD WORK GO ON
It is interesting to notice that the Council passed two very excellent measures which the Daily Kansan has consistently advocated at the same meeting where the present editorial policy was declared to be, "absolutely rotten," and "continually at cross purposes with the Council." The motion to throw open Council meetings and to provide bulletin boards on the approaches to Mount Oread are both well worthy of any student governing body.
The Council should not be satisfied with these accomplishments, however, but it should get behind the Dalkan Kans in its advocacy of:
The immediate drawing up of plans for a permanent Union and asking the Board to O. K. a request for a free site on the campus.
Feirer and broader major work and group system privileges for students in the College.
Specialized courses for freshmen in the School of Law.
A street light by the last danger- ces cement stairway on the campus the floor of
The return of University dramatics to its proper sphere.
These are five very timely subjects directly concerned with students which the Council might well afford to consider.
GET UNDER THE BED
How many can you take care of at your home? Friday will see the descent of some four or five hundred future K. U. athletes upon our peaceful village, and the matter of lodging them is something of a problem, or it will be unless everybody comes to the rescue. As long ago as last Friday, Manager Hamilton began sending out calls for help, and when last seen he was just about gone. He may yet be saved, though, if each dwelling in the student district will house three or four of our guests.
These boys and girls are not exacting guests, for they are on out a lark, and they will cheerfully sleep three in a bed or any other old way, so long as they can be entertained in groups. And while you may have to endure a little temporary discomfort in the way of "doubling up" or sleeping under the piano, ten years from new you won't know the difference. Meanwhile you will be helping to keep up the University's good name for hospitality.
So write to Mr. Hamilton at once —Write, don't telephone—and tell him how many boys or girls he can send to your house. And don't forget to give him your telephone number.

EDITING THE RAG
Editing a newspaper is at all times a very nice thing. It is all bouques, all flowers. If we publish jokes, they say we are rattle-headed; if we don't, we are fossils. If we we don't, we don't, we are extravagant. If we don't go to church we are heathens; if we do, we are hypocrites. If we remain in the office, we should be out looking for news; if we go out, we are not attending to business. Now, what are we to do? Just a call. Just a call will stoke this from another paper—and we did—Daily Nebraskan.
Unison; a place where freshmen and seniors, Greeks and Barbs, engineers and laws, may come together to cover another other's human qualities.
K. U. DICTIONARY
University; a mill that grinds out athletes, politicians, Phi Beta Kappa, statesmen, editors, funks, and of the common or garden variety.
"U."
Useful; what second-hand notebooks are roommates, are supposed to be, freshmen ought to be, class memorials will be, new chairs in Fraser would be, Lawrence street cars never were known to be.
Umpire: poor unfortunate who
would interfere any of the people any
of the times.
Undergraduate: material for experimentation on the part of the faculty, Board of Administration, chapel speakers, boarding house cooks, and police. Grist for the aforementioned mill.

It is glory enough to have taken the

To have stood up proud and reliant on only your soul
Instead of investing in stocks and paid- insurance for one.
And go calmly on with your duty-

It is glory enough.
To have fitted a cruiser for right to adventure a sail full of shoals;
adventure a sea foul of adults;
To sail without chart and with only the

To have dreamed the bright dream of
the release of right:
It is glory enough for one day
To have dared to lose with all the chances for losing
the reign of truth
To have fastened your faith like a flag to that immaterial staff
And have marched away, foraging and completing
And while the worldly wise see nothing but shame and ignoble retreat,
And though far ahead the heart may faint and the flesh proweak—
To have dreamed that bold dream is glory enough.
CAMPUS OPINION
WOULD HAVE A "HOUSE DI-
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
A "bone" has been pulled. The Daily Kansan has stooped to fight back at the barking of Webster Holloway and has pulled down its own house. Such demands as those made by the Honorable Senior President and members of the Student Council needed to be commensurate. The student who has been able to judge. Politics should never be allowed to enter into the editing of the students' paper.
John Madden was elected to the Student Council to represent student interests and his rash withdrawal will only open him and the editorship of the Daily Kansan to more unjust criticism.
Ralph Ellis.
WHY NOT NEBRASKA?
The Student Union of the University of Michigan has started a campaign for a million-dollar club house. There is every reason to believe that it will succeed. The Student Union of the University of Kansas has but recently been kicked out rented by a vigorous campion for a building fund is now being pushed by the union. And at Nabraka—?
Are you satisfied with your school in comparison with these? Do you feel that we offer as much to the average student in the way of good fellowship, of cooperative learning, of doing college colleges? Just what is the matter at Nebraska?
The answer is self-evident. The students are not close enough together; they haven’t enough in common. In no other college of like size and standing are the students so separated in interests and allied with their student councils, democratically elected by all the students to manage college activities. The others have their student unions composed of all the students to boost things of common interest. The others are either in small towns or have dormitories, bringing the student unions liaisonation, together with the exception of Chicago, are the students so scattered as at Nebraska. The evil is lack of co-operation. What is the remedy? The remedy must be creation of common interest and common endeavor. We can hope to untie words of exhortation the heterogeneous interests and something of common interest, something for all to work for. We must find some one thing, or any number of things, in which each and every student has a tangible share, in which each and every student has a live interest. Just now there is no such thing we have no student council or our own student union. We have no club house. We have no dormitories. We should have them all. Other schools have them. WHY NOT NEBRASKA?—Daily Nebraskan.
