UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to victory the undergraduates in their pursuit of further than merely printing the nines by standing for the Nine on Tuesday, to be clients; to be cheerful; to be curious; to be more serious problems to wiser heads; and to be its ability the students of the University.

News Editor; Charles Gibson.
Editorial Assistants: Helen Hayes, Leon Harsh, Ray Eldridge.
Exchange editor, John M. Heury.
Editor, Joceldo Hildinger.
What makes life dreary is the want of motive—George Eliot.
WORK!
Talk it up at your boarding house and frat meeting; discuss it between classes; eat it with your meals.
With students to a man behind the Student Union plan, all that is needed for a definite start is work, boosting, and backing by every student in the University.
Then, if the committee that is perfecting plans calls on you for help get out and work!
People who live in gas houses these days should be too cold to throw stones.
ENTER THE WOMEN'S ADVISOR
Men will wear waistcoats that butt down the back next season—News note. At that rate the feminist movement will soon be universal.
ENTER THE WOMEN'S ADVISOR Now comes the Advisor of Women, preparing to assume a heavy load of responsibilities. A good part of the troublesome dance question is to be shifted to her shoulders; she is to tackle the week-night date question; she will be advisor-extraordinary to every young woman in the University.
Anyone of these tasks is a big one; surely it requires courage to undertake them all. Yet here is a woman who has voluntarily resigned positions of more prominence and gratification, to serve the University and its students.
Certainly the least we can do to show our appreciation is to welcome the new member of the University, give her our confidence and respect, and do what we can to make her position less difficult. It will be hard enough at best but every one, and especially every woman student, can and should take part in cooperating with the new advisor. H.H.
"College Students May Become Real Soldiers"—headline. But this doesn't keep students from becoming chemistry guns.
The latest dance is the "Hands Off." If students keep up with the times, the dance question will soon be definitely settled.
OUR GROUND WATER
The University of Kansas persists in being of direct benefit to the State. The exhaustive report on the Kansas water supply by Prof. Erasmus Haworth is a recent example of the service being performed through the University.
This report gives information as to the location of water-bearing
strata, the formation of the different river valleys, the habits of ground water, and many other points in regard to the Kansas water supply below the surface. It is written, not in technical language, but in a way easily understood by anyone.
The book should mean money to Kansas.
Professor Wilcox will repeat several of his courses in Greek next term. It might be well for the Lawrence postal clerks to enroll.
STUDENTS: THE NEW OFFICERS It is with pleasure that the University Daily Kansan announces the election of new officers for the second semester, together with the addition to its staff of sixteen new members.
The new officers deservingly arrive at their positions as the result of a lot of good, hard, earnest work, and the retiring editor, whose pleasure it has been always to depend unfailingly upon the new officers, unbESTATINGly predicts that next semester's paper will reach a high water mark in the achievements of the University Daily Kansan.
WELCOME. QUIZ WEEK
Why not welcome quiz week this year with joy instead of greeting its approach with zeroic shivers?
Is is not a week of liberation, the opening of the gate into new and fairer—pastures? (Anything will do). Next semester you will take a different course; next semester you will take a professor who is "interesting"; next semester—
Now is the time for all good students to make quiz week resolutions, or next semester you will be taking it over again!
WE'RE TAME. AFTER ALL
Regarding University life in the days of our great-grandparents the Chicago Tribune says:
In their care free moments the young gentlemen stole barber poles and street signs, stole hotel silver and napery, entered playhouses, fought the performance, the performers, fought the police and were a scandal to the judicious.
Evidently there were no Student Councils then.
If the poetic soul was right who defined dancer as "the poetry of motion," the "tawngo" is our idea of blank verse—Drake Delphic.
WHAT ARE YOU GETTING?
The exams are now almost upon us. Are we prepared for them? Have we done our work as we should or did we let our chances slip by unfinished? We hope there is not a student in Fairmount who has not done his best. "Unto the victor belongs the spoils." Those who have come out victorious in their lesions will receive the prize. They are the priests who not really as bad as they are pictured. They have our best interests at heart. So don't say, if you fail, that the professor flunked you. You flunked yourself.
We are not after grades in college. We are after character. An honest person is of more values in than what the degree of any college—Sunflower.
The foolish man often laughs when there is nothing to laugh at.— Goethe.
Joke; a certain form of humo ranking little above a pun; something beyond the comprehension of an Englishman; an inhabitant of the third column of the Kansan; what in the annual "on" the other fellow.
Jayhawk; a bird raised in the same nest with the American eagle; a senior map directory, costing $6,000.00.
K. U. DICTIONARY
Jitney; a nickle show which costs a dime; used in combination as "jitty date"—a form of date corresponding to a church or library latex.
Janiors; the only porters who do not have to be tipped.
"J"
Jam; a crowd; usually found at
chapel when there is a good speaker.
...Jinx; (see athletics); that invisible
something which retains the progress of Kansas athletes; see Maloy,
steam-roller.
TO ONE ANOTHER
Were men to one another
As kind as God to all,
Then no man on his brother
For help would vainly call.
On none for idle wasting
Would honest labor frown;
And none, to riches hasting
Would tread his neighbor down
—Thomas Toke Lynch.
Entering the Balkans
Getting into... of stern comic opera. Coming from a gary we crossed boundary and boundary country and country and Servia just this side of the town Zimony, after a full realization of the fact that Austria and Servia are not friendly. At Zimony we were ordered out of our comfortable second-class coach and into the police headquarters, which are at one side of the waiting-room. Everybody going across the line, no matter what his nationality or condition or purpose, a passport Austrian-Hungary. A hungarian going to Belgrade on business, or a Servian returning from a visit with his friends in Zimony, must produce for examination the document which entitles him to pass the boundary. I got into a line of about fifty people of all sorts and of all degrees of cleanliness. Then I took my turn until I reached the window and to have a quilted cloth which looked like a quilted deed but was in reality a signed and sealed statement made by W. J. Bryan, Secretary of State, that I am an citizen of good character and entitled to consideration as such. The document further gives the interest details of my height, my age, the color of my eyes and hair, and other information which might come in later and had or had to be tested later on. The Austrian officer, who looked like a Knight Templar in dress uniform, scanned my papers carefully. I knew he couldn't read a word of English, but he acted as if he did, even to turning the paper over and examining the other side. It seemed to me as if he were hunting an excuse to keep us in his country. He did not help, he talked to him as parrot talk. Finally he had to ask, "Namen?" and then I pointed to my own name on the proper line. He was evidently relieved, but he looked and looked distressed. I volunteered "mit frau" and that helped him some. He wrote what I supposed to be the name in Hungarian and gave up the rest, but he never admitted it. He stamped on the paper and it was stamped back along with a fine line of Hungarian language to which I carelessly responded (in English) that this was a blamed fool country and that he acted like a chimp. I think he said "Thank you" in Hungarian at least he saluted and smiled.

When anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offence cannot reach it—Descartes.
Sympathy is the safeguard of the human soul against selfishness.—Carlyle.
We easily forgive those who weary us, but can never forgive those who are weared by us—La Rouchefoucauld.
Bashful Bentrice Beatitudes
Blessed is he, who does not cut
out campus, for when the
springtime comes he shall reap much
green grass.
Blessed are they who work off their conditions before they get them for they shall be fed on the salt of the earth.
Blessed is he who has not exceeded its cut limit for he shall be deemed worthy of his own grade and shallot it suffer the rebuke: —Drake Delphic.
She tried to kill him by a glance, But she was, truth to tell.
So cross-eyed that, by grievous chance,
A poor stander ref.

The
University Daily Kansan
Is giving A Dollar for the Best Communication, says Student Life of Washington University, St. Louis.
The University Daily Kansan begs to deny the charge. It is however giving the biggest and best college newspaper in the country to every student, alumnus and faculty member from now until the end of the school year for $1.50
