UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kaman aims to picture the future of Kansas to go further than merely printing the news by digital, so play no favorites; to be clean, to be cheerful to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to be willing to adult the students of the University.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1914
Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work in hand; the sun's rays do not burn until brought to a focus. —Alexander C. Bell.
It is fortunate that no final quizzes came on Friday the 13th.
BY FRIDAY!
According to a statement from the Student Council committee, the campaign for enough signers to insure a Student Union this year, will be completed Friday. With something like 500 signers already on the petitions, only 100 more are needed to start the plan-at one dollar from each booster.
Let YOUR influence help.
If three hundred more signers are obtained this week every man behind the Union idea is going to have to work. And remember the limit has been set at Friday.
But the committee has agreed to reduce the half year cost to seventy-five cents, provided 800 men join.
PREVENTION
We hope that Ed. Howe, the noted newspaper paragrapher, was considerate enough while in Lawrence to avoid reading the would-be paragraphs in the Daily Kansan.
injured last night while returning
home from the library at ten o'clock.
She slipped on the steps, just below
the 'cut-off' northeast of the library.
Owing to the darkness she was un-
able to see the ice on the cement and
fall, hurting her back quite seri-
ously."
The above item of news has not yet appeared in print but there may be occasion to publish something of the sort almost any evening.
Since the University authorities placed a lamp at the street car waiting station below Green Hall, the only dangerous place left on the campus is at the foot of the "cut-off."
It is fortunate that there is still time to lock the stable door before the horse is spirited away.
If the Board of Administration would announce that every professor caught smoking in a University building would be suspended for three days, it's a safe bet that all students would consider it a solemn and heaven-sent duty to report their own instructors.
HONOR SENTIMENT, AGAIN
HONOR SENTIMENT, AGAIN Members of the faculty ought to be as honest with the students as the students are expected to be toward them.
The reports of the honor sentiment communication charging that certain instructors do not always look over quiz books or term papers, brings up a serious question—one which the
faculty should see probed to the bot tom.
At the same time there is no excuse for the student who is not square. The fault cannot be shifted.
Who IS Mrs. McIn-
We'll bite tyre?
OH SLUSH!
Many have sung the praises of snow, beautiful snow, and countless millions since the world began have rapsodized over spring, but who ever found a good word to say for that anomalous transitional stage whose characteristic accompaniment is slush?
Lives there a man with soul so optimistic who ever to himself hath said.
"My, what a fine slushy afternoon!
I certainly do enjoy wading in the cement walks and leaping over the puddles at the corners. It takes me back to the happy days of my boyhood—" etc. etc.
If such there be, go mark him well and send for the alienist at once.
Rather is the name of slush, nay, the very thought of it, an anathea in the mind of man. Colder than snow, better than rain, slicker than ice, this abomination is the breeder of countless misfortunes and disagreeable incidents. Wading in slush will give you the gripple, ruin your shoes and your temper, and fill your soul with deep disgust.
It spoils skating, sleighing, motoring, even walking, and provides no substitute, since it is a little cold for swimming, not deep enough (except in places) for boating, and practically worthless for fishing.
In fact, about all that can be done with slush is to grin and bear it, or swear and bear it, according to your disposition.
ENDS AND ODDLETS
Isn't it a strange coincidence that Phi Beta Kappa leads the scholarship list?
IT COMES ON SUNDAY
Having explicit confidence in the patriotism of the students at the University, the Daily Kansan feels safe in predicting that there would be no wave of protest if the faculty should decide to show proper homage to the Father of our Country by declaring a holiday on the Friday before, or the Monday following, Washington's birthday.
THE STUDE'S OPPORTUNITY
The Student Council at K. U. is having very serious trouble with the faculty violating their No Smoking rule. However, the faculty can hardly be blamed in this matter as the students are said to set a very bad example for them.—Washburn Review.
Don't see how Huerta gets any satisfaction out of booze when he has chili carne, and hot tamales three times a day.
We need some legislation. Upon these large aigrettes
Which though they spend no money
Still leave some awful debts.
"Since life is rendered safer
By this new hatpin bill,
No longer will the ladies
Be truly dressed to Ruh.
—Exchange.

DREAMERS OF DREAMS
"Kansas recently voted against the honor system with a 95 per cent majority." -University of Washington Daily.
According to Mrs. Myra Jarrrell, who spoke before the class in journalism, names are the best kind of news. In this case the Kansan has more news in it this issue than the Kansas City Star.
MUST HAVE BEEN IN '76
His hair was tousled and matted his pencil sawed the air
But he could not go to press because there was no news." —Exchange
He was not drunk or crazy, he was not wild from booze
eye was tint to give
His hair was touled and matted.
William Herbert Corrith, '80 formerly Chancellor of the University
Papers littered the floor while his
fingers tore his hair
We are all of us dreamers of dreams;
On visions our childhood is fed;
And the heart of the child is unhaunted,
it seems.
We are all of us dreamers of dreams;
children is told.
Vice Chancellor of the University.
By the ghosts of dreams that are dead.
From childhood to youth's but a span
And the years of our youth are soon
Let the youth is no longer a youth, but a man,
"and one of his stranger is dead.
There's no sadder sight this side of the grave
When the first of his dreams is dead
Than the shroud o'er a fond dream spread.
And the heart should be stern and the eyes should be brave.
'Tis as a cup of wormwood and pall
When the doom of a great dream is soid.
And the best of a man is under the pall
When the best of his dream is dead.
To yaze on a dream that is dead.
'Tis as a cup of wormwood and gall
He may live on by comp and plan
When the fine bloom of living is shed,
But God pity the little that's left to a man
When the last of his dreams is dead.
CAMPUS OPINION
Let him show a brave face if he can,
Let him woo faone or fortune instead,
Yet there's not much to do but bury a man
When the last of his dreams is dead.
MINOR BEHIND UNION
The Student Union is a fine idea. I have always been a great believer in men getting together and I consider this a most excellent means for doing so. I hope the men will back the movement and I am sure that whoever does will, at a later date, when the Union does its work, to be able to look back with satisfaction on the fact that he had a hand in its beginnings.
M. C. Minor, '13.

MISPLACED PATRIOTISM?
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
During the Harry Lauder vaudeville on Saturday afternoon, one of the performers and artist Pianist* rendered a medley, composed of national and patriotic airs, in which the stirring melodies of "The Star Spangled Banner" were cleverly introduced. The performer being played the large audience program was glued to their seats.
Such an incident would hardly be worthy of remark were it not for the fact that this same audience, a few moments later, arose on masse as the performer ended the selection with a few bars of wine and the King. "As every school boy knows, or should know, the song that we loudly proclaim as "America" was pilfered, root and branch from "God Save The King."
Such is the pep we are rear upon.
Now all of this is what they ask: the following:
what according to Lawrence traditions,
is the real national anthem?
Did that audience recognize the true
national anthem, or did it resemble
so many sheep following the bell
whether It wasnt to coax them into
the "welcoming" arising
to their feet and all the others following
suit?
When an American battleship enters the harbor of a foreign power, it is "The Star Spangled Banner" that is wafted out from the land defenses as the musical salute of a friendly power. If we must stand, then, at vaudeville performances, in order to show our patriotism, let us stand for the genuine article and not for the pilfered jingle.
