UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN,
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to victory the North. She also wants Kansas to go further than merely printing the news by uploading it to Facebook, playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be more serious problems to user heads; and to bring more students to ability the students of the University.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1914
Have the courage to do without what you do not need, however much you may admire it—King Stanislaus (of Poland).
TO THE FACULTY
Once again the students have grappled with the same old grouping under the "group system" in the College, and they look the worse for wear.
A system that remains unchanged while dozens of new courses—even entire departments—are added to the same "group." should be modified, giving students more liberty in the selection of desired courses.
Although the Daily Kansan is not presupposed enough to offer any constructive suggestions it remains convinced that the old editorial war cry—"Something Ought to be Doe"—is fitting and applicable.
It's the general rule that if the class isn't closed the hours conflict.
GREETINGS!
With an energetic business department, an excellent corps of editorial associates, and a reporting staff augmented by a dozen capable reporters, the new editor of the Daily Kansan is ambitious to have the University student paper take another decided stride forward during the present semester.
Because of the high standard set by our predecessors, however, it will be considerable of a task to see to it, that the paper does not progress backwards.
If radium will do anything toward changing the disposition of a canteraker prof. we'll take a quart.
UNIVERSITY GIRLS, MRS. BROWN!
The women students of the University are beginning the second semester with a new social interest, an interest awakened by the coming of the Advisor of Women. Mrs. Eustace Brown.
Mrs. Brown has the confidence of University women. They feel that they can look to her for sensible advice and for sympathetic friendship. Being able to devote her entire attention to the task, she can be more successful in unifying social interest on Mount Oread, than the faculty women, who have the instructor's point of view and who lack time to get acquainted with the students.
A word of thanks is due the Board of Administration which has been thoughtful enough to send the women students a leader and counsellor.
Holiday Thursday. Strange these gala days never come during quiz week.
EVERYBODY OR NOBODY
So two faculty members smoked.
What is good for students ought to be good for professors. If students are barred from smoking around University buildings, faculty members ought not indulge.
A professor's influence extends beyond the classroom. That is why correspondence courses will never supply resident instruction. So give us a little better example, Mr. Faculty man. What's good for Peter is good for Paul.
If you want to make an everlasting hit at the lecture this afternoon by the Kansas City Clearing House president, start nine healthy rafs for a reserve bank at Kansas City.
OUR CLASS WAS CLOSED
Speaking again—or yet—of the honor system or sentiment or germ or whatever it is, there are other times when it is needed as much as during quiz week. You guessed right the very first time—enrollment day. Honestly, now, don't you think it rather crude for college people to stoop to manufacturing counterfeit rain checks and similar devices for getting better places in line? And this stunt of climbing over rows of seats and elbowing one's way ahead of those who were there first is small business, too.
Of course these little things bespeak a commendable eagerness to get into the harness again after a delightful week's vacation, but even such a consuming passion should not make us forget our manners completely. We should "assume a virtue if we have it not" as our old friend Shaksphere says in his inimitable way, and try to preserve at least asemblance of common courtesy, to say nothing of honor and decency, at this crisis of our lives.
The most effective method of getting enrolled early is to get up early and be on hand when the shop opens for business. If you do that you won't be forced to slug anybody or bribe the door keeper in order to break into the coveted 8 o'clock classes.
CHUCK DOLDE BOOSTS UNIO
I received the pamphlet residing the new Student Union and I want to say that I consider it the best thing that the men students at K. U. have undertaken in years. I have been read about it in the Daily Kansan and I'm certainly interested in the movement. It seems to me, though, that you ought to get at least a thousand members when you consider the many advantages offered. If you get more than eight hundred members, why not leave the prizes into one fund to be used in paying the debt to the Alumni Association and in making improvements?
I think that most of the younger alumni realize that such a common meeting place as this will be, was very much needed. It will be a fine place to loaf during the week; there will make it an ideal place to get onto the college and football songs. When you stop to consider the price, a dollar for the entire half-year, it seem that every man in school ought to join for every fellow over there wastes more than that much a year. So other thing that does not give him half the pleasure or do bim半 the good that this will.
When a fellow gets out of school, he realizes more than ever before, the value of the friends that he makes while in school. This was strongly brought home to me the other day when I met Charles and I happened to be in lavender for a few hours with nothing to do. He remembered that there are several K. U. people here and he looked up us and we had quite a nice visit talking over old times. He had been in a number of Kansas towns and had met some K. U. people but he said that he thought the school had always lacked a common meeting place where the fellows could get acquainted with men from these schools. This is certainly true and I am sure that the new Student Union will fill that long felt need.
In conclusion, will say that I would like to be in Lawrence while the campaign for members is going on so that I might assist in urging every man in the University to take advantage of the offer offered to boost school spirit at K. U. Chuck Dole, '13. Leavenworth.

CAMPUS OPINION
Through your columns I want to congratulate the city council. Lawrence merchants in general and the faculty men who had to do with ousting the public pool and billiard halls and bowling alleys.
OH, SUCH SARCASM!
Editor Kansan:
Editor Kansan:
To be sure the city might have regulated the halls or they might even have replaced them with municipal halls, but that would be expensive and lots of trouble, just as cleaning the buildings besides sports is a crime, fun is a crime, and recreation is a crime,—(if you don't belong to the Merchants' Association, or the Y. M. C. A. or the University Club.)
Congratulations.
It was a fine step and entirely worthy of Lawrence. Of course it was a step and the good work will continue. The billiard tables of the Merchants' Association will go as will the bowling alleys, for the merchants who were so eager to deprive the common fellow of his fun will not tolerate the games themselves. The billiard tables of the University school all appear as the faculty deeply interested in the downtown warfare? And goodly to the bowling alleys of the city Y. M. C. A.; no preacher or Sunday school superintendent will be selfish enough to allow the youth who has ten dollars in ready money enjoy himself when the youth without the ten has been deprived of his fun.
Congratulations.
Citizen.
