UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CENTER
The Daily Kannon aims to picture the student in a way that can go further to more merely print news by standing up and asking for favors; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to user heads; to be more serious problems to universityability of the students of the University.
Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy. -Emerson.
NOISE
One of the best things about yesterday's chapel was the noise. Tell one of your friends who graduated two or three years ago that the College students sat together and held down their end of the yell fest, and that friend will look at you like he thought you were crazy.
WEDNESDAY MARCH 4,1914.
The effort of the College was most noticeable because it is new. The engineers and the laws can often be depended upon to make Fraser resound with their battle cries—provided there are more than a half dozen present in chapel.
By the way, the report that the chapel committee frowns upon noise at the usual chapel service is unfounded. Let's continue the experiment and try another roof raiding contest at the next assembly!
IDEAS WANTED
The call of the faculty for student opinion on plans for bettering the group system and the present major plan should be answered immediately. Students are apt to forget that enrolling will have to come again sometime in the future, and that reforms added now will be of benefit later on. It will be too late to help matters next September.
The waiting crowd offered all kinds of suggestions in the gymnasium last month and it may be that some of those ideas could be used now.
Help the faculty in their endeavors to help the students.
TRY SMALLER PLAN
And College Day fizzled.
A combination of unfortunate circumstances proved too much for the patriotism of the students in our largest School—even with the tantalizing bait of an extra holiday dangling on the 75-cents-per-ticket hook.
Tags for the vaudeville show. Student Union pledges and Mixer fees made the charge seem extra large at this time. The College hasn't the loyalty and unity as yet to carry through the plans for such a celebration unless everything is most favorable.
The committee in charge—and by the way the committee did all that it could to pull the celebration through—ought to try a less pretentious scheme at the start.
MAKING K. U. A UNIT
The get-acquainted spirit and the Union idea permeate the campus these days, and the Men's Student Union is not the only evidence of the new thought. A cry of disunion by the women has caused the Board
of administration to appoint one of the best known social organizers and club leaders of Kansas as Advisor of Women at the University.
Next Saturday the W. S. G. A. will hold a reception and matinee dance in honor of Mrs. Eustace Brown at which every woman student will be given the opportunity to become acquainted, informally with the social head of the institution.
If students are as sincere and enthusiastic in the movement for social unity as indications point, there will be a big attendance at the mixer Saturday afternoon and Mrs. Brown will be warmly received as friend and counselor of the women of the University.
OF ALL SAD WORDS—
Nebraska is to be congratulated.
A Missouri Valley rule forbidding more than eighteen games in a season has caused the Athletic Board to pass up that suggested series of three games with the Cornhuskers.
Just think of the glorious victories we would win, the old scores we could wipe out, the crowds that would gather to witness those mighty battles the—but what's the use of playing basketball games in a newspaper when they can never be seen.
WITH K. U. POETS
MY LOVE
BY SOLON THATCHER GULMORE 861 18 8
Her face lights up with happy smile,
As I come near her.
Her thoughts, I know, are free from
guitle.
And in her heart dwells never a wife;
No need to fear her.
My arms enjoin her, sweet and fair,
(Full out! I've kissed her).
My arms enjolpe me and fall,
my hands kissed her.
While ever or my shoulder falls her hair
in golden ringlets, rich and rare—
My baby sister.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
Wouldn't it have been a shame if we had missed that College Day vacation because only 599 students bought tickets?
Now for that first robin.
"It is evident that William Benton called upon Villa at an 'inportune moment' in his news. Note. Possibly he had received his wife's millinery bills.
A COMMUNICATION Dear Ends and Oddlets:
Will you give me a little space to
I did not join the Student
Union?
In the first place, I am opposed to unions on general principles. They foster discontent and agitation. Suppose now, that the Laws should get the notion that they were working too hard, or the Engineers should think their hours in shop were too short, or that they need to associate with Pharmics in the Chemistry building. With the Union backing them, they could break up the University in three days. The knowledge of such opportunities might incite many heretofore peaceable and law-abiding students to all kinds of sedition men, and memoir archeysts, as Mr. Dooley says. The mere existence of the union, then, would be a constant temptation to evil-doing.
Even in case I should be converted to the union idea. I have other valid objections to a Student Union. For one thing, the headquarters, or whatever the building would be called, must descend into a mere loafing place. And although the prospectus says nothing about it, I am morally certain that many students could be found there indulging in such debasing pursuits as playing seven-up, reading Life or torturing animals and studying. Think what a blot this would be on the fair name of our University!
Aside from moral and religious scruples, there are some practical reasons why I did not sign up for membership. The application is in the form of a questionnaire I know but that, if the project falls through, I might still be compelled to pay. I hope I am not so easy as to get caught like that. I trust that these few words will make my position appear inappropriate in my fellow-students who have not yet decided this question for themselves.
C. R. Onic-Mutt.
The editor received this letter from a youth, "Kindly tell me why a girl always closes her eyes when a fellow kisses her."
CAMPUS OPINION
The editor replied. "If you will send us a photograph we may be able to tell you the reason." -Yale Record.
STUDENT DAY
I would that some wise old philopher would visit our school of learning situated in the city of "rural simplicity and guileless youth," and after adjusting his glasses firmly on his nose, take a look around and see what is wrong with our noble institution. Both the students and professors would stand inspection and the results of the sharp old owl's discoveries would be astonishing. I am sure.
What was wrong with our Student Day yesterday? Is it any wonder that the ministers of the town and the heads of the Y. M. C. A. have cause for complaint in the religious attitude of the students. It is enough to make the most pious person on earth "swear a good round, mouth-filling oath" after listening to the whimpers of the student speakers in chapel. Their talks were an good but they were entirely out of order. At the beginning of the exercises he announced by the chairman that this was the day to their complaints of the students concerning actions of the professors, and then—"O! we are entirely satisfied with our faculty."
How can the instructors profit by what they hear on student day if they are not told of their many faults? Did the trouble lie in the fact that the speakers were not taught about professors helping classes for more minutes after the whistle blows of the attitude of the University Council toward the Student Council? What could be said about the professors coming into the library and assuming privileges contrary to library rules, such as out loud when they talk or inside in doing anything. Show that no one asks any thing. Then, too, the custom of each instructor thinking that his pupils are taking nothing but economics or history and assigning work enough to require sixteen hours a day to accomplish it. Sixteen hours a day to accomplish it. The material at hand is immense and to think hard has to sit and listen to that life of talk that the speakers put up!
It seems to me that the students are meekly submitting to the bluff and bluster of the faculty. Let us assume some of our rights for most of us are old enough to have a little sense and I. for one, don't be slapped and I. for another, upon then, and planted a kiss of affection upon the oppressor's brow. Here's hoping that we have a real Student Day next year.

SOCIAL AFFAIRS AND STUDY
The social recreations of students are a difficult part of college administration. College presidents and faculty disciplinarians permit the largest latitude of individual choice among students consistent with the morale of the whole student body and a certain standard of proficiency in scholarship. To enforce puritanical concepts of work, without regard or social diversions of mind, would be destructive, quite as much so as elevate pleasure above there. There is a happy middle ground that every college administrator tries to attain—work and pleasure in proper proportions, so that the student is better off for having "played." and returns to his books with renewed vigor and livelier perception.
There will be general agreement among those who have looked at the problem either as parents, as teachers or as students—except for a minority of the latter who confuse liberty and license—with the concern of President Obama and of Rutler, College of dance steps, pink teas or vaudeville. Schools are meant for study, and not solely for social exploitation. But the student who devotes his time exclusively to work grows stale, loses his perspective and becomes ill at ease in meeting his fellow classmates, conversing with other social arts or conveying ideas about a liberal education as book lore, but there is a right way and a wrong way to reach them.
Modern ideas in higher education are accompanied with the greatest individual freedom to the student; sometimes, it appears, this freedom defeats itself by excess. A certain restraint, a certain measure of supervision, it would appear, is restless. It will not do without with the role factor in colleges, but it appears wise to take this social factor, under the direction of liberal-minded and sympathetic teachers, and divert it to educational purposes. As the Star has observed, student organizations and fraternities have their use in stimulating and broadening intellectual association but that object is frequently surgered in mere pleasure in the duty, as well as the privilege of college instructors, to adapt the social instinct in all of its outropoppings to the educational aim, or, as President Howe well put it, 'to give students enough work to make them healthy and just enough society to keep them from having the "blues."' Indianapolis Star.
