UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students who are more likely to further print the news by standing for the idea that the newspaper should be 'to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be more serious problems to upper heads; to be more active and ability to the students of the University.'

"Did universal charity prevail, earth would be a heaven, and hell a fable."—Colton
TABOOS GOING DOWN
According to reports President Wilson attended church regularly during the first year as President; but, of course, students are too busy.
Mrs. Brown's program of few rules and the development of a spirit among the women of the University that will make rules unnecessary, will commend itself to the student body.
College women are not children and should not be treated as such. Surrounding them with a barricade of rules and restrictions is as unreasonable as it is futile. Without a proper sentiment on the part of the young women regulations do not regulate; and where the right spirit exists rules are superfluous.
In her endeavor to secure the confidence and friendship of the women of K. U. and to make them feel that she is here to advise and help them rather than to keep them in order Mrs. Brown displays tact and good sense.
The students that Mrs. Brown is here to help cannot do better than meet her half way in whatever she undertakes.
The dollar is due at the Union. One of the disadvantages of almost anything good is the fact that financial support is necessary. Pay little, get little, is a truth practically universal.
PAY UP
It is necessary, however, that the average student consider his expenditures pretty carefully if he plans to keep within his allowance limit. But the Union committee need have no fear that a lack of support will come from these who think about the matter most.
When the cost per day, the chance to become a charter member of the best movement ever started for K. U. students, and the club privileges available, are thought about seriously, few men of the University will fail to avail themselves of the opportunity to join.
SOPHOMORES, TOO.
Collectors for the sophomore memorial fund are at work.
They are grasping the muchgrasped forelock of time in a spirit that looks like business. The half-dollars gathered this term will make a good start for the two years to come.
come.
With the sophomores at work, the juniors holding a hundred dollars in their treasury, and the seniors planning, the memorial tradition is really beginning.
THANKS
Presentation to the Student Union of a clock by C. F. Gustafson and a picture by the University Book Store were made last week.
It is needless to say that both are deeply appreciated and that both are useful; everybody knows that. The gifts show the close interest some local merchants have in student enterprises.
WHAT NEXT?
The smoking ordinance is being enforced.
The Student Council has been arrested for the comparative harmless pastime of tacking placards on telephone poles.
And, to cap the climax, two law students, Bun Wilson and Bill Howden, whiled away the tedious minutes between classes the other day with a fiercely contested game of marbles.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
It is discouraging for budding writers to learn that the $120,000 estate住 by the widow of Robert Stewardson not accumulated by her husband.
The K. N. G. ought to post a few bills in order to practice up for Mexico.

She speaks a various language; for a mid-week date
She has a voice of sadness and a tone of penitence
And of duty (per order of council).
Yet she removes the taste of lemon with a mild

The Friday night dance and an "afternoon show-stop"
At Wilson's ere he is aware. When thoughts of home
And dad's last forgotten check come like a dream
O'er his spirit, and sad images of the next "remit"

Of the stern landlady unpaid board bill, ditto laundry.

With this faint squeak:

on the Editor of the Daily Kansas! Dramatics, as well as practically all of the other student activities, has suspened a slum at the University of Kansas in the past two years. Recently the senior class, by a praiseworthy effort, overcame some of this inertia and presented a creditable musical comedy, which seemed to please even the faculty. fact that the theater department asked that the students have not lost their love of plays put on by their fellows.
Where there were three dramatic clubs two years ago, none of which failed to give an annual play during its life, we now have one club—the Hawk Club. As yet this club has been unable to arouse enough enthusiasm to warrant the presentation of a play.
CAMPUS OPINION
DRAMATICS—WHY NOT? To the Editor of the Daily K
I believe that college dramatics is a good thing. It gives both the students in the productions and those who attend the plays a harmless diversion from their regular routine of studies. And should not a diversion of some nature be allowed the students? The faculty have their University clubs, their dinner clubs, their card clubs, their golf clubs, teas, smokers, and again the students at the age when they can, and should enjoy as many of the pictures of life as do not work harm them.
Where are we to look for the great harm to be derived from student dramatics?
That dramatics undermines scholarship cannot be urged, for those in dramas must be successful in their studies. This has been caused because of unfair policies.

WITH K. U. POETS
By William HERBERT CARLHURT, '80 Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the Uti-
lian College of Medicine.
HOW CAN ONE HEART HOLD
THEM BOTH?
Snowy bosoms, silks, and musk,
Music, laughter, railway, wit:
Thin forms slurring through the dusk
All in their breaths.
Poet, preacher, tell me sooth,
How can one heart hold them both?
Books, seclusion, lettered labor,
Burning thirst for name and fame;
Helpful love for friend and neighbor,
Sympathy for blind and lame;
Poet, preacher, tell me sooth,
How can one heart hold them both?
Art, aesthetic teas, and science,
Pride, precedence, pedigrees;
Grace, sanctity, disease;
Hotel's fall of disease;
Poet, statesman, tell me sooth,
How can one State hold them both.
quantuances made by each member of a student play cast is not the least of the advantages to be derived from dramatics. The experience of appearing on the stage, or gaining comparase when speaking before a cown of people of any kind, or of clear enunciation in speaking, are things which can be obtained in no more effective manner while in college than in the little plays. How often have men of prominence emphasized the value of learning to be easy and confident on a platform or on a board? How often have we bitted church speakers because of their woeful lack of early experience in speaking.
But it is not so much to the importance of laying a foundation for speaking in public, that college dramatics looks for affirmative argument. It is rather to the ease and polish which it gives a person in his every day conversation with men. No one will question the value of the ability to entertain as such personally as has but to report the entertaining talkers of our acquaintance to detect the effect of dramatics or any other experience in public speaking. The student who has given some time to dramatics is just that much better off in a conversation because of his experience. I would like to see dramatics back in the limelight—however modern modification of the club of many students. Two or three big student plays a year would give many students an opportunity to get the pleasure and valuable experience which only college dramatics can offer.

A KNOCK AND A BOOST
To the Editor of the Daily Kansas:
In a recent edition of your paper,
I find two editors. I take this
means of calling your attention to
them, because I have seen that
I can best give you a point consider-
er which would add greatly to
the attractiveness of your editorial
page.
In the edition of Monday, February 23, under the head of "The Student Era," you prophesy a new "era," for the University of Kansas. In four short paragraphs you use the word "student" no less than six times. This is repetition of your worst sort. Many of your phrases are vague and unfamiliar. Several are unburdened with triteness. These are: "new era," "nobody in particular"; "pressing matters"; "present a solid front."
Then you do not advocate improvement, or other action; you do nothing but make a person feel less helpless. The sense you used was worthless.
The turn you give the editorial at the end, where you dismiss the incident with a half-humorous apology that Lawrence is the home of such a misguided creature as the joker, is a masterly touch and one that will give every reader the feeling that the library really has been deprived, and has not been guilty of a breach of journalistic etiquette. In short, the apology is very well done, and is worthy of consideration as literature.
What a contrast the "Aapology" in the next column! In that article, you had a definite object in view, knew well your subject matter, and when you wrote, you were not merely trying to fill space. The epithets you apply to the practical purpose neither tite nor mousseupface; instead they micrean in terms exactly suited to his—or her,—misdemeanor. There is no exaggeration of reillement, nor yet a craven fear of saying too harsh a word.
