Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kans. The Daily Kansan aim to picture the realities of life in Kansas to go further than merely print the news by styming for the details of events; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be nice; to be patient; to solve more serious problems to uver head; to help the students of the University. Well is it known that ambition can creep and be as well as burke. TUESDAY, MARCH 17, 1914. A PLACE TO TACK BILLS The University furnishes bulletin boards for the convenience of the chapel committee in making announcements concerning the semiweekly assemblies. Now that the widespread poster tacking nuisance has been stopped, why shouldn't the University furnish bulletin boards on the campus for students who wish to use that means of advertising student affairs? Such boards could easily be placed where they would be seen by practically every student, and at the same time where they would not mar the beauty of our grounds. LET'S GO Managers or captains of boarding house baseball teams should get their names to the Daily Kansan immediately. With this kind of weather the schedule ought to be arranged and contests started within two weeks. If teams have not been organized the stewart may appoint a player to represent the club so that the number of participants can be ascertained and preliminary arrangements made at once. THE Y.M.C.A The new president of the Y. M. C. A. faces an encouraging situation for next year. Con Hoffman the secretary, has been at K. U. long enough to become well acquainted with local conditions and he already has laid broad plans for his work next fall. The assurance that John R. Mott will be the principal speaker at a "Y. M., week" next October is not the least of his accomplishments. The next cabinet, therefore, can feel assured with the president, that the coming year will make the University association stronger and better able to carry forward its excellent work than it has ever been up to this time. "NOW SPRING RETURNS." Just when a fellow concludes that life is just one dark, dank, raw, wet, and blustering thing after another, and that J. Pluvius, and Mars, and Beelzebub are running all affairs earthly, along comes Old Sol. He begins to tickle the buds of the maple and almost lifeless grass roots. He "skesdadles" the rheumatics, and the gripe, and winter microbes in general. And the stude gets out his ox-fords and kicks the gas-stove under the bed; and the soda-fountain man wipes the dust off his extra soda-water glasses and chases his chili bowls to the garret; and the millin- ery merchants, the men's clothing merchants, and haberdashers, and pawn-brokers, and ice-men, all order automobiles, and cats begin to tow by night, and hens begin to cackle by day, and the baseball bug begins to nip, and Romeos and Julietes are thicker than flies in August.— And its Spring. BEYOND THE BRAIN "That there is a something, an ego as you might call it, and above the brain in power, is the theory of the animalist (whatever that is), says H. Duncan. "The Soul's Winning Fight With Science," in the American Magazine for March. "That the brain alone is not responsible for remembering is proved," continued the author, "by reclaiming their memory, and suddenly regaining it entire. Since the brain is a continually changing mass, and a complete renovation takes place in every seven years, surely something changes." And those facts long forgotten. That something is one's ego, or self. Mr. Bruce used a simple illustration to explain his theory. The brain center is reached by many nerves, as so many nerves do. If the communication with this center is blocked, brain power temporarily ceases, although the soul behind the brain still lives, the brain being merely an instrument of the soul. Several noted cases over the course of years have caused investigation were found to have a blood clot, or some foreign matter on the nerve center affected. Although this or that portion of the brain was rendered useless, perhaps only for a time, still the thinking, feeling and control so that by a voluntary will action some the lost brain power might still be regained. ENDS AND ODDLETS CRACK IT YOURSELF The irrepressible headwriter says, "Several Artists Want to Make Marvin Bust." Hal Coffman is president of the Y. M. C. A. Con Hoffman is secretary, the position of treasurer is to honon Calman. Let him speak up. 一 The head of the department of geology at Ohio State University is appropriately named Professor Hills.

A French author declares that he can tell by the way a young American can girl receives or gives a kiss who college she has attended. He says, the best kisses come from Smith College College, that the kiss of the Vassar girl is like a blow and the ravishing kiss of Mount Holygoys girls can be likened only to a volcano. The graduates of Bryn Mawr lack without battling love and the Harvard prefers kisses to bombs. This may be true, but inquisitive persons would like to know how the French author found out about the kisses of the college girls. Does he speak from observation or from experience?—Utica (N, Y.) Daily Press. Thirteen out of three hundred women passed the mental test to qualify as policewomen at Chicago recently. All of which isn't saying much for the mentality of the three hundred. K. U.

In answer to Nick-O-Tine I would like to say, that the approaches to the university of Kansas begin on the boundary line of the state and in every home school of students we need to be clean typical of Kansas and of loyal sons of K. U. "Be clean" is the password. In the words of Senator Long smoking is a foolish, flitty, and expensive habit. Go to Mission if you want to smoke. N. F. Dauum. N. F. Daum. 92. want to smoke.

Briny Mawr, Paresh I was born near Clay Center, that is to say near the city limits. The "city" itself was several miles away. You see Clay Center was a booming county-seat, then "destined to be the Chicago of the inhabitants—according to the estimate "Dispatch." The unspeakable census reporter put us down at 2762, but the census was on the index expurgatorius, and no one cared what the impudent thing said. I was brought up as a Christian gentleman in a district New York ever man in a district school. We had an excellent teacher, who ate a very hearty lunch and in consequence went to sleep over our writing lesson. We then dodged out of the back door and went rabbit hunting when we shot them. This will explain the state of my script to the editor. The important events of my early life are somewhat as follows. Shortly before my arrival the grasshoppers came, then I came then the chinch-bugs came then the bushes and the Populists came, then my parents lifted me up tenderly and brought me to Missouri. Had we remained in Kansas for awhile longer we might have become permanent residents, for his盟 Allen White presents us with his hat's name with Kansas?" which gave out the chinch-bugs, converted the Populists and brought back the rains. When I heard that Kansas had convalesced, I returned for a course at the University. Flint used to edit the Kansan in those days, and he it was, I have heard, who made it "a credit to Kansas newspaper-dom." Look up his editorials and "follow copy," McKeever while away our evenings reading his heart-wrenching stories. I'll wager that has a trunk-full of them in his art. Here's a chance for the editor. Mr. McClung, if we begged hard enough, would show us some of these odd chromosomes that present made his name a thing to conjure by. Mosse, the world famous Mosse, was then registered in the School of Music, I think. He had already completed the art course at the engineering course, I was told. Happy days those when a good halfback was never allowed to escape 'till he had a well-rounded education. I not being on the team, was dismissed with an A. B. in two years. But they were two good Professor Dyche, "naturalist, lecturer, explorer, professor, and author," taught me a "considerable amount" about polar bears in a course entitled Systematic Zoology. If ever you run out of copy T1 will write you an essay on polar bear. How the bear in an museum on Geoal did so effectively be late Bat; and Greek that I determined to try them, and have stuck to them ever since. (Here the reader may pause to moralize, but 'I have to get through for a twelve o'clock lecture.) I was a brilliant philosopher. Pioneer chose me as a fit opponent in the right field at the senior-faculty game. One飞 reached me—from Professor Haworth's bat—and that I muffed. So far as I can remember that is the last great event of my life. I asked myself how many people still own bears from recent years. She has racked her brain for several hours without success so I am compelled to close. NEWS News stories which appear from time to time in the San Francisco dailies relating to passing incidents of campus life call to mind how slippery is the word "news" when one endeavors to capture it in the news. When newspapers will disagree every time in describing the commodity which they demand each twenty-four hours. Makers of newspapers are at an equal loss when attempting to agree on an analysis of the commodity in their news report that they "style" "university," and their brethren "news" is still untrapped by a conventional chain of synonyms—Daily Colliarian.
