Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kannam aims to picture the students of the University in a kinder Kansas to go further than mere printing the notes by standing for the teacher. The teachers are required to be clean; to be cheerful; to be curious; to be serious about teaching more serious problems to wiser heads; to be able to handle the students of the University.
MONDAY, MARCH 2, 1914
The men who are lifting the world upward and onward are those who encourage more than criticise.—Elizabeth Harrison.
Six hundred College Day tickets have to be sold by noon tomorrow or there will be no holiday next Friday. This announcement is certainly the best possible method of increasing ticket sales. It's up to the students —no tickets, no vacation.
TORS
INTRODUCING STUDENT ORA
Tomorrow is Student Day.
Faculty members with weak hearts should not attend.
The lid is off. Criticism, fault-
finding, grievances, "roars",
"knocks,"—even suggested
improvements and a word of praise here
and there will be in order.
Arms will wave and the electrified oratory discharged would be enough to run the Lawrence street cars on storage batteries for a week.
It's great fun, however, and its a good sign that students are given one chapel exercise a year to express their ideas about the University in their own way.
MAKE REFORM PERMANENT
The poster nuisance of Lawrence telephone poles was comparable to the billboard evil in the larger cities.
The Lawrence officials should be reminded again if other violations of the ordinance are made.
A mass of posters and bills hanging on every tree and fence post is not only ugly but it becomes trashy as well—when the old cards are torn down and thrown in the streets.
THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SIGNED
If you have not already joined the Student Union think over the following reasons for becoming a member and reconsider your refusal long enough to give a fair consideration of these arguments.
1. You get club privileges for less than a penny a day.
2. You become a member—a charter member if you please—of a movement that is sure to grow until the students have a building of their own on the campus.
3. You help furnish a get-acquainted place for those students, especially freshmen, who have little opportunity to meet their fellows.
4. You lend support to an institution which will unite all-University spirit.
5. You help make a home possible where all K. U. men—barbs and Greeks, members of all four classes, and students from each one of the eight schools—may meet on a common and democratic footing.
Drop in at the Union any day this
week and invest a dollar. You are sure to get full return on your money.
OBEY THE WHISTLE
Of recent there is noticeable an expanding tendency among the professors to hold classes just a minute or two longer, sometimes even five minutes longer, than the time allotted.
A minute or two sometimes seems of small moment but the fact is, if a student has a class at the next hour on the other side of the campus those few minutes may make him late to that class and the loss of time is debited against him.
Keeping class overtime is no longer to be interpreted as an occasional happen-so, but is a consistent policy followed out by several instructors. That, "Just a minute, please," belongs to the next professor.
THE DRAMATIC SITUATION
Why has dramatics languished at the University this year?
Some insist that it's merely a swinging of the pendulum. The situation that the Chancellor denounced as "impossible and absurd" three years ago reacted on itself, and interest in acting at the University has dropped only to revive again in a year or two. Others assert that dynamics deserve little place in student life and its decadence is, so to speak, a non-survival of the unflittest
The success of the senior play proves that students enjoy amateur performances if they are not given too often. The excellent plan to combine all dramatic organizations into one club ought to be attempted again next year.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
Here's hoping that none of the Student Day speakers try to break the long distance talk record.
He—Oh my dear, if I could only show you how I care for you.
She-- Now Adolph don't worry, remember money talks.
POPULAR INSTRUCTORS
Have enough outside business to keep up with each course at least twice a week.
Give out comprehensive outlines at the beginning of the lecture, so that the class may sleep with a calm sense of duty well done.
Forget the class roll frequently.
Tell stories that will give the class a chance to laugh at them (i. e., the instructors).
Keep the eyes strictly on the roll.
Talk like human beings.
Scuttle their consciences.
Annoying voices.
--Pennsylvania Punch Bowl.

THE MAVERICK
(By Willard A. Wattles,
A. B. '08, A. M. '10.)
We have sedulously refrained from saying anything about such matters in the past, hoping always for a change toward the better, but stem necessity at length compulsions to list of undesirables the following:
Ich wczs nicht was soil es bedeuten
Dasz ich so trauargin bin,
Ich habe mein Pony vergessen
Und musz rely on me sinn
Herr Lehrer ist kuhl und er chuckles
und rihug lichte in egle
Und er glaubt dasz er will jemand
flunken,
The person who laughs when some one falls on Adams street.
The individual who uses all the magazines in the library at once;
The individual who borrows another's note book:
The person who scrapes his chair in class:
The student who leaves before channel is over;
This list will be extended if exigencies demand.—Bingville College Meghone.
Oh, hills are kind and comforting,
and spicy woods are clean.
The wide and sunny prairie-land, the fairest land of earth.
And there's familiar friendship in the homely dales between.
There is wonder in that sets the feet to roar. And love has met me on the tread and sweetened all the glooming,— Still hard it is to walk far, far the road we are going to walk. For the West-land, the best land, the land that gave me birth. The wide and sunny prairie-land, the
But I have 'seen' the sunnower,
the windflower. The one flower, the
windflower.
Oh, every road in Kansas-land is walled with roid.
And overhead the August sun is like a lord of old
When they go singling down the years with star-dust in their hair.
The Westway, the best way, the way that I would take
The bills of Massachusetts are a-bud with early spring.
A-riding down to Palestine, and staunch is he to hold
if I could scale these sullen walls where all my lances break.
But it's little that I reck or care for all their burgeoning;
all their burgeoning,
For my heart is at the stirrup and I feel the pommel swing,—
The West-land, the blessed land, I hear the homing call.
The spotted prairie-land, the fairest land of all.

WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
I was born February 10, 1868, in Emporia, Kansas, and grew up from infancy in El Dorado; graduated from the El Dorado high school in 1884; attended the College of Emporia during the school year of 1884;5; worked as a printer's devil during the summer time and winter of 1885; attended the Emporia College during the spring of 1886; the Kansas State University during the school years of 1886-7, 1887-8, 1888-9, and left January 1, 1890, for El Dorado; I worked for the El Dorado Republican eighteen months before I moved to the Kansas City Journal where I worked on my acting as editorial correspondent for six months and Topeka correspondent for six months; went to the Star in the autumn of 1892; married in the spring of 1893; bought the Emporia Gazette in 1895; have lived happily ever after.
I have written and published seven books as follows: Rymes by Two Friends (together with Albert Bigelow Payne), 1892; The Real Issue, 1896; Court of Boyville, 1899; Stratagems and Spoils, 1901; In Our Town, 1906; A Certain Rich Man, 1909; The Old Order Changenh, 1910.
I am a member of the National statute of Arts and Letters; the National Ballot for Education; the National Society; National Civil Federation; National Academy of Political Science; am national committee of the Progressive party; have honorary degrees from College of Emporia, Baker University; and the City of New York; was regent of the Kansas University from 1905 to 1913.
A good many people seem to have the impression that only the rich send their sons and daughters to the State University at Lawrence, and that the son or daughter of a poor man who should venture to go to college would therefore accept an amos-os attempt and disclaim which would be intolerable.
NO SNOBBERY AT K. U.
It is hard to understand how such an impression can survive in the face of the facts that really exist at our great state school. The facts are that more than half the students at the University are working their own way through, earning by their own labor the money that pays part or all of their expenses. The students who do this make no concealment of the fact. Indeed they are, after all, a弱 of I than you. And they do not loake mine, socially or in any other way, with their fellow students or with members of the faculty. On the contrary they are likely to be given special consideration because of the fact that they are doing their scholastic work under this handicap.
And you may be very sure that the boy or girl who puts in a few extra hours every day earning the money that pays his or her way through college is not sanguancing but rather that money or money very much of the precious time that is left in fruity, expensive amusements. And you may be very sure there is not much of an air of snobbery around an institution where more than half the students are in the self-supporting class—Iola Register.
