UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN,
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the lives of the students of University Kansan, to go further than merely printing books. The University holds, to play no favorites; to be clean, to be cheerful, to be smart; to be more serious problems to user heads; to bring about a change in the students of the University.

It is better that a judge should lean on the side of compassion than severity.—Cervantes.
CONSISTENCY
Now that the committee on student interests has warned students away from the tango receptions, one more step is needed to maintain consistency in the enforcement of the ruling that the "tango and other suggestive dances of like nature... will be regarded as a matter of serious consideration from a disciplinary standpoint."
Why not "go after" the dancing at the regular chaperoned student parties?
That stricter regulation is needed at these parties is shown by the protests of various faculty chaperons recently, and more recently, those of Professor Twenhofel at last Saturday night's dance.
It is generally believed that dances fully as objectionable as the tango are danced at these parties in spite of faculty chaperons. If we bar the tango, let's be consistent and bar its fellows.
"An Atchison man was struck by a bullet from a revolver and would have been killed had it not been for his purse." Lucky it wasn't us.
It looks more and more as if President Wilson will have to put his Anti-Trust legislation back in the pantry and take up the tango menace.
POOR MACHINERY
The mathematics club met this week and compared the brain action of its members with the action of an adding machine to see why the machine always added 2 and 2 into 4 instead of sometimes 5.
If everyone kept himself in as good, working order as an adding machine, he might work with something of the same accuracy and consistency. Too many of us use a poor grade of oil, coarse fuel and have no protection from smoke or grime. No wonder the old machine goes dead about quiz week!
"Woman educator says young women graduates are not fit for livelihood." News note. And the odds are ten to one that the "woman educator" herself is still called "Miss."
People wonder what sort of a sensation is experienced when an aviator loops the loop in his aeroplane. Probably about the same as that of the ordinary student when he receives his board bill, laundry dun, and last month's quiz grades all at once.
Now that the Lawrence pantatoriums have followed the Student Council's suggestion and adopted the Daily Kansan's bonding plan, the pantatorium owner is again regarded not as a Wallingford, but as a real necessity.
IMPRESSIVE
The willingness with which the pantatoriums adopted the plan is doubtless exceeded only by their yearning that student patrons drop in and show their appreciation by paying up.
And punch up a credit mark for the industrious Student Council.
Since the agricultural department has found that grape juice contains alcohol there is nothing left for us but coca cola and Lawrence water. "Oh death, where is thy sting?"
"Ladies of Faculty Will Give Mixed Tea."—Kansan head. What, in Kansas?
OPEN. WE PRAY!
At this time of semester when students are preparing special themes and doing extra reading to meet quiz week liabilities, a little help on the part of the Library might well be in order.
Is it entirely unreasonable that the stack rooms be kept open Saturday afternoons? Saturday athletic events are no longer running, and students cannot always check out the necessary books before noon.
Our fate is largely in the hands of the Library these coming three weeks. Will it see its persis thus?
AND THE MILL TAX?
The University Glee Club is back after a holiday trip throughout Kansas and Oklahoma. Everywhere, the gleemen report, Old Grads met the singers and entertained them like band of returning prodigal sons.
It is pleasing, this eagerness with which the alumni seize every opportunity to aid the University, whether in entertaining its glee club or giving advice on football coaches.
HERE YOU ARE, "HANK"

Having a good cartoonist on a school paper is of inestimable value.
The Daily Kansan is fortunate indeed in having so able a cartoonist as Mr. Maloy on its staff.—Jamestown Kaw.
And the Kansan thinks so too.
The chief justice of the State of Maine says: "The difference between a large university and a small college is that in the large university the student goes through more college, while in the small college, more college goes through the student."—The Tartan.
A dwarf sees farther than a giant when he has the giant's shoulder to mount on—Coleridge.
College (koleg) noun; (see Dean Templein); a heterogeneous collection of persons in common pursuit of degrees; specifically, such a collection treated by the Engineers as a unit of contempt; the means by which one man is made broader than his fellowes and contracts a generous collection of ego bumps to be knocked off in later contact with real life; the coming school organization on Mt. Oread.
Chemistry (Expletive); an easy five-hour course—the second or third time over; college students take chemistry to fill a group; engineers because they have to; laws have never even been caught within smelling distance of the chemistry building; medics and pharmacies are the only ones who really enjoy it; the happiest time of a chemistry course is just after passing the final; synonym. Cady.
A manly form at her side she saw,
And joy was duty, and love lay

A thousand banners caught the sun
And cities smoked along the plain;
 And laden down with silk and gold,
 And heaped up pillage groomed the
I saw the conquerors riding by With thampling feet of horse and
Empire on empire like the tide,
Flooded the world and ebbed again.
THE CONQUEROR
Then they all vanished from the earth.
As feetting shadows from a glass,
And, conquering down the centuries
Came Christ, the swordless, on an
ass.
—Harry Kemp.

The Venetian Waltz
(The ravages of the Venetian waltz are described as follows by Billy Morgan, of Hutchinson, in the book "The Near East.")
Of course the waltz came from Vienna, and it is the movement which the Venienne feel, or seem to feel, in their daily life. But this waltzes from town would not be permitted at a 4th of July picnic in Kansas. The music is the same but the time is faster. The Vienner and the Venienne grapple each other in a perfectly proper position and then they begin to whirl. They do not reverse any more than a top. They waltze-around at the rate of 130 revolutions a minute until exhausted. You can see that you cannot but see their breath and go to it again. A whole evening of this kind of fun is the height of pleasure for these unfortunate people who never saw a turkey-trot. They do hesitate long enough to change partners and drink beer, but these are coincident necessities of the dance.
In the window of a music store I saw the advertisement of "the brated Animated Musical," "M. Tattered Tattered Time Band." but I am sure no Veniennes musician would play it unless he was forced, and I know no Veniennes could dance to it if he tried.
Of course everything is not play, even in Vienna. I have become accustomed to seeing women do active farm work, clean the street-crossings, and carry the burdens. But in the construction of a fine new building on the Ring, just across the street from the beautiful Orangetown, saw many women on rock, mixing mortar and sand unpacked, carrying stones and otherwise conducting themselves as men. This shocked me. I made a few remarks to them, but they did not seem to understand my language. I told them that woman's place is in the home, that they should not go out of the sphere in which they rocked the cradle to rule the world. I repeated all these gumentes, but with no offense. One woman, who was navigating, stopped and listened, and big a fat foreman yelled at her and she turned to the work.
With all of this beautiful Vienna and its churches and palaces and parks, I am going to have to remember the woman working with pick and shovel for which she is paid 45 cents for a nine-hour day.
The working-women keep their good carriage by carrying baskets and boxes on their heads. They do not do this for more exercise, but as the ancient and honorable gentleman can't get cooled厚戴ed and bent over with a basket of soiled clothing on the top of your head. The women of Trieste are very pretty. Of course I would not have noticed American mericans Mr. De Martin's my attention to the fact. He continued with his information:
"You observe that when you meet a girl on the street and she smiles and you smile, she goes on and comes to see in front of you if you are following."
I admitted that I had noticed this and wondered why.
We may live without poetry, music and art.
TO THE COOK
We may live without conscience, and live without heart;
"Because she don't need to look around. She knows you are following."
We may live without friends, we may live without books;
He may live without books—what is knowledge but grieving?
But civilized man cannot live without cooks.
He may live without hope—what is
he, but deceiving?
He may live without love—what is passion but pining?
But where is the man that can live without dining?

I remember, I remember,
How my childhood fleeted by
The mirth of its December,
And the warmth of its July.
