The Daily Kannon aims to picture the undergraduate student who is further more printing the news by stating, "I want to play no financial role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be quiet; to play no fearless role; to be clean; to be

ENGINEERS, LAWS, AND ART
Art-dodging students will have to find a new excuse. The old gag that "we don't understand the beauty and significance of the paintings, so why attend" is no longer sufficient since Professor Griffith has offered to furnish a guide for any group of students which speaks for one.

We wonder if the laws will heat

a personally conducted tour through

the Administration Building.
More than half of the necessary 800 Student Union signers were obtained Monday. With such enthusiasm, the earnestness of K. U. men for a common meeting place can no longer be questioned.
GOOD COLLEGE FOR JANITORS
Three hundred students were forced to wait outside the gymnasium and half-freeze Monday because "the janitors were unable to get the rooms ready for enrollment at seventh-thirty—the appointed time."
Considering the fact that a basketball game was played Saturday night the "janitors" undoubtedly consider the excuse sufficient. They couldn't work Saturday night, probably, because Saturday is their day off. Sunday is out of the question naturally, and who would be brave enough to suggest that they get up a little earlier on Monday?
It is indeed regretable that so many students shivered because of such absolutely unavoidable reasons.
Our idea of a harrowing experience is one which begins when you grab a recently vaccinated football player by the left arm.
GLAD HAND FOR ALUMNI
The letters from "Chuck" Dolez, Allen Wilbur and "Prexy" Weede printed in the Daily Kansan today and yesterday speak a good word for that class of alumni which has been graduated from the University in the past few years. They haven't forgotten their student life and they still boost enterprises intended to improve student conditions.
And speaking of the alumni, we mustn't forget the entire association which voted a loan to furnish the Student Union, making its early opening possible.

OUT WITH THE BACK BREAK.
EPS.
Relies of barbarism, lung-crampers, and instruments of torture fit only for kindling purposes in the heating plant furnaces; when will the good Lord, or the Board of Administration, free students from the old black, tilted, carved antiques used as substitutes for chairs in many Fraser Hall class rooms?
Doubtless these old chairs have something of intrinsic value about them, since they are as old as the University; but they certainly are not fit for students to sit in.
Like other relics the University has, they should be preserved in a glass cage.
It is taken for granted that the new Owl Society will meet only at night.
GOOD LUCK, FRANK Last week Leonard Frank left the University of Kansas.
The Jayhawker school has lost a man who has given us excellent training and countless man size doses of energizing "pep" in order that K. U. might continue to have creditable athletic teams.
Using a play of his own importation, he won the Missouri game in 1912. In 1913 he gave Kansas the Missouri Valley baseball championship. Minnesota gets Frank with an offer of a better position and we are mighty glad to see the coach promoted, although it is a source of regret to lose men of this type who succeed in getting things done.
A Princeton student was injured while going to lectures in his limousine. If anything like that should happen to a K. U. stude a lot of Kansas farmers would take off their coats and pretty soon we wouldn't have any University.
UNION MEANS UNITY
UNION MEANS ON.
The most vital need is the University, as I see it, is a common organization where can be brought to a focus the force of student sentiment and student activity. For the past we have "we" have been unnaughty to unite and cooperate in holding the three big propositions before us—athletic relations, student government, and the mill tax.
The possibilities in a Student Union are immense. Luck to you—and remember that the house on Tennessee Street must be only the forerunner of a permanent building on the campus.
Allen Wilber, '13. Campaign, Ill.
"PREXY" WEEDE, TOO I believe in the Student Union. There is not a student in the University who cannot realize the immense value of a perfected organization of that kind, if he would stop and think it over. The trouble is in getting him to bear the .U. to it. But as soon as he does, K. U. will have a Student Union. Every person who now understands what this means should enlist in the "Fight for the Union." Although the destiny of this enterprise is mainly to be determined by the students at the University, yet I am quite sure that hundreds of the alumni are willing to help in any way that they can in securing a common meeting place and rallying point at the University. A small start to that end should not be discouraging.

THE CALL OF KANSAS
Editor's Note—Miss Clark, the author of this frequently quoted poem was a student at the University in 1903-04. She is at present an assistant in the Extension Division. Her home is at Chanute.
Kansan (read your own Kansan).
A name also applied to that species
of animal known as the Jayhawk.
Fearful of Missouri Tigers
by others.
Knuecker (opposite of booster). Very undesirable, especially in the University. Instrument used by such animals, a small hammer.
K. N. G. (a national organization at the mercy of President Wilson and Captain Jones). It didn't have to go to Mexico.
"K"
Surfaced here with beauty, and the sensous sweet perfume
Borne in from a thousand gardens and patches of prune bloom;
Awed by the silent mountains; stunned by the breakers roar—
The restless ocean pounding and tugging away at the show.
I lie on the warm sand, beach and hear, above the sea,
The voice of the prairie, calling,
Calling me.
Sweeter to me than the salt sea spray,
the fragrance of summer rains;
Neuer my heart than these mighty hills are the windswept Kansas plains;
Dearer the sight of a shy, wild rose by the roadside's dusty way.
Than all the splender of poppy fields, albae in the sun of May.
Gay as the bold poinsettia is, and the burden of pepper trees.
The sunflower fawny and gold and braid is richer to them, than these.
An rising ever before the song of the hoarse, insistent sea,
The voice of the prairie, calling,
'talling me.
Kannas, eloved Mother today is an alien land.
Kansas, beloved Mount-
alien land,
Yours is the name I have idly traced
with a bit of wood in the sand.
The what, sprinken from a scorn-
ful lip, will make the hot blood
start;
The name that is graven hard and
deep, on the core of my loyal
heart.
Oh higher, clearer and stronger yet,
than the boom of the savage sea,
the voice of the purite, calling.
CAMPUS OPINION
Calling me.
—Esther M. Clark.
SIMPLIFIED ENROLLING To the Editor of the Daily Kans
SIMPLIFIED ENROLLING To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: This is said to be the age of modernism, but to cut it off would end of ennervation in vogue at the University modern, would be speaking paradoxically.
In order to enroll in two courses it was necessary to make five trips from the office of the registrar to the gymnasium, interview eight people, and consume four hours. Why can't the system be simplified?
In conclusion I would like to suggest that in order to teach a person simplicity of system, the ideal teacher first adopt the method taught.
from the office of the registrar to the gymnasium, interview eight people, and consume four hours. Why can't the system be simplified? There seems to be an unlimited number of superfluous rules, with no interpreters for the same. The mass of professors can tell you what not to do, but nobody seems to have the power of telling what to do.
Again the old saying: "Practice what you preach." E. Z. A.

HONOR SYSTEM IN ATHLETICS
From "Athletics and The Colleges"
by John H. Dobson
Atlantic Monthly, by C.A. Stewart.
If an honorable spirit of sports-
manship ruled college athletes why
need there be such severe penalties
threatened for coaching on the sidelines,
and special precautions should the
officials to prevent it?
Should not merely forbidding it be
sufficient?
Why should it be necessary in basketball to provide that after four personal fouls that a player be removed from the game? I do not contend that every play, or even the great majority of the plays in inter-collegiate games involves trickery, for I know that faculty supervision andvilignant umpiring have greatly reduced the more obvious forms of cheating in games between the larger eastern institutions.
I do contend, however, that even this veneer of fairness is lacking in most colleges; that college athletes is still ruled by the spirit of "get away with it;" and that merely preventing the actual success of the fraud is but a superficial reform. Men interested in the ethical life should not rest until college men are trained in sports as do the officers—relying upon office to aid in the administration of the games, and trusting to their own collective sense of honor to deal summarily with the occasional intruder who may refuse to accept their own high code.
