The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students go further than merely printing the notes by standing them up or giving them a fun-factor; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be friendly; to be more serious problems to user heads; and to identify an ability of the students of the University.

Lawrence, Kans.
THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1914
Our character is our will for what we will we are—Archbishop Manning.
Now for the University Council
ACT II
The ways of the Lawrence city officials are past all human understanding.
After the Daily Kansan had practically stopped the poster tacking nuisance by its campaign of publicity, after students had almost forgotten the dance given a week ago, and after the sleuths of the law had spent eight days in a fruitless attempt to solve a problem which any fourteen year old boy could work in fifteen minutes; here comes the police of our little rural city with warrants for the arrest of the Student Council.
The idea is, no doubt, that if enough men are arrested and tried the guilty ones will not escape. The entire freshman class, perhaps, or possibly the School of Engineering in a body, will be summoned next.
If the arrests will do any more than has already been done toward cleaning up the trash on the approaches to Mt. Oread, they will be a good thing to that extent; but the methods used in trying to climb on the bandwagon after the reform has already been accomplished by a newspaper, are bunglesome enough to be laughable.
The masterly climactic stroke of all, however, came last night when a plain clothes man appeared at the Student Union and tried to simplify the warrant serving process by reading the charge to the three hundred men present—the crowd insisting all the time that the sentences be punctuated with long drawn out Rock Chalks or ten minute renditions of Hail, Hail, the Gang's All Here.
Again the police reasoned, doubtless that in such an student Council members were sure to be present. Hunting up the individual members at their homes would be entirely too simple for such wily minds.
With the major league ball players traveling southward and the Varsity holding daily gymnasium practice, and with the Greeks already unimbing, it is high time that the "hash house" tournament spirit come out of its cocoon.
PLAY BALL!
But the affair furnished a great opening for the Student Union, at any rate.
The experiment of last spring was a decided success for all concerned. It was a tournament in which one or two hundred students took part, the games were cleanly played and hard
fought, and several players of Varsity callibre were discovered. The one this spring should be better than last.
Every boarding-club or rooming-house that can boast of nine men students should begin at once to plan things. Gloves should be dug out and oiled up; old shoes "corked," and old ball suits put together.
Whether a Phi Beta Kappa a Sigma Xi, or a plain flunk, you are eligible.
What's more, its free.
WE KNEW HIM WELL
The career of College Day was short and uneventful. While yet in his youth he passed away, long before reaching maturity. He is survived by a manager and a committee who mourn his demise. At the corer's inquest a post mortem examination proved the death due to inpaipeiensi, a disease which affects Mount Oread periodically. The last sad rites will be administered Friday when classes will be held as usual.
THE ACORN OF THE BIG OAK
THE ROCK OF THE DAY
One of our subscribers, an old grad back in 1918 who visited the campus last week, writes in to tell us of the humble beginning of the Student Union now housed in the $50,000 building on the campus. We quote from his letter:
"When I entered the University in fall of 1913 the students had no common meeting place. Class meetings, political caucuses, and club gatherings used to be held in the class rooms in old Fraser Hall or at one of the fraternity houses. About the only place the fellows could get together was at some drug store or pool hall. That was before pool halls were driven from Lawrence.
"A Student Union was started that year. I came across with a dollar to help it along, and the Men's Council obtained enough money to rent the old house at Tennessee and Hancock (now Twelfth street). I remember the housewarming we had the opening night, a Wednesday. The boys turned out en masse, and got the habit of dropping in at the Union Building.
"From that humble beginning has crown the magnificent building I visited on the campus last week. The love I talked to there could hardly understand how students of thirty years ago could get along without their Union."
ENDS AND ODDLETS
Anyway, it isn't every editor who publishes an editorial which causes him to be arrested a week later.
"Arrests Men's Student Council for Tacking up Dance Posters." "K. U. Students in Kansas Park in prisonism Two Women Karkus in heads speak for themselves.
The latest: "Dear Dad, I was arrested today for violating the poster tacking ordinance. Please send me a ten to pay my fine. The costs will be, etc., about five more. Hope you are well. Yours,"___
When we first read "Hammer and Nails Rush Student Union" we thought perhaps a new class society had begun pushing that worthy organization.
"Dean Marvin or Bust" might be a fitting slogan for the committee collecting memorial funds for Professor Marvin.
Well, anyhow, bread and water won't be much worse than what they've been getting at Lawrence boarding houses.
Perhaps the head writer can enlighten us. At any rate we'll bite; What is a dorm?
It is presumed that the Councilmen will continue their studies through the Extension department.
Good thing for the Student Council that this is United States and not Mexico.
Now that Dean Blackmar has an nounced that boys must have gang life we will be justified in singing he will man the war with himm. "Hail, hail, the gang's all here."
WITH K. U. POETS
By WILLIAM HEREBET CARRIBU, 'So Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the Uni-
teresting University'
When you've struggled hard and long,
and the battle has gone wrong you
can just breathe and laugh, you,
Like coal water from a spring,
Like the balm the south winds bring,
Like the sun's warmth.
GOD BLESS YOU
Are the simple words, "God bless
you."
When you're going far away,
Far from all you love to stray,
And the parting-pangs distress you,
Like a sunbath in the heart,
Though the choking tears may start,
Articulate words, "Good-by," God bless you.
When the bitter days are past,
When your joy is full at last,
When you see what matters you,
Then the heart will overflow
While the head head bends low
And a true friend says, "God bless you."
Be his faith in James or Paul,
One God, many, or none at all,
Whose kind lips the words address
THE STORY OF MY LIFE
you,
Nothing matters; when it needs,
Doubts, philosophies and creeds
Are forgotten in "God bless you."
WILLIAM HERBERT CARRUTH,
William Herbert Carruth, '80, was born in Osawatime, Kansas, in 1859 and began carrying Lawrence morning papers when seven years old (he, not the papers) and worked on Lawrence newspapers from apprentice to editor, with a two years interlude as delivery and mailing clerk in the Lawrence postoffice. One of his proud assignments is having "shout- the first paper that was sold in this way on the streets of Lawrence,—not the "Star," but the Lawrence Standard—earning $2.80 in one afternoon.
He entered the University in '74 as a preparatory student. His best student friends among those now living are Charles and Willis Gleed, William Simpson, and Solon Williams and Ed. Tremper of his class. The meanest thing he did in the University was taking a 2 foot $1.25 chromo to his dear friend and instructor James H. Canfield at the close of a course in esthetics. Has done mean things since, but none mean.
Mr. Carruth was appointed to assist Doctor Canfield in Composition—tutorial material being scarce in those days—in 1879. 'Taste and fortune turned him to foreign languages, in which he was instructor and since 1882 professor. He taught French and German and Spanish, but finally settled down to German. The present heads of both the German and the department of University of Michigan began their teaching career in the department of modern languages in the University of Kansas.
In his professional line Mr. Carruth has published a number of textbooks; he led in organizing the Central Division of the American Modern Language Association and was its president for three years. He has published two volumes of translations, a volume of essays, a sketch of Kansas literature and a volume of poems. He divides with Prof. Hopkins the honors of introducing football into the University. In 1901 he directed the lieutenant to Chancellor Strong, with the title of vice-president of the faculties, which has been abbreviated to Vice-chancellor.
In 1913 he was appointed professor of comparative literature in the Leland Stanford University, Junior University, and Oklahoma State University and welcomed old Kansas friends.
