UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN.
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kaman aims to picture the daily life of a student in Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news, and to be more involved with the students; to be clean; to be cheerful; to play no favorite games; to be quiet; to be cheerful; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to build a culture that is able to the students of the University.

Thou little thinkest what a little foolery governs the world—John Seldon.
CHANCES FOR SENIOR SOCIE-
TIES
What can a senior society do to prove its worth?
To back the Jayhawker first and last; to see that the class leaves a memorial even if the society itself has to build one; to help bring underclassmen to a proper appreciation of the University's traditions; to maintain high standards of conduct and set a good example——
Surely any senior society that wishes to do so has a great chance to serve its class and the University.
"Keep your head," advises expressive Taft. That's easy; it's the heart and pocket-book that wander off.
MORE CHAPEL MUSIC
Love may be blind but it dodges the lights.
Since music plays an important part in most of the world's devotional exercises, why not make it a constant feature of chapel?
Let's have a musical feature for each chapel.
A choir made up of students and faculty, directed by the department of music, would doubtless greatly increase interest in chapel. Chancellor Strong has not yet sung for us this year, by the way.
The next thing to do is to bond the Student Council.
A loving dad and plenty of plunk
Are back of many a student flunk.
RESURRECT IT NOW
RESURRECT IT NOW
Why wait until Students' Day to start the Student Union?
A plan to start the Union on a small but secure basis might well be formed right away and presented before the student body on Student Day for approval. Data on unions in other schools might furnish valuable suggestions for ours. Conference with the Board of Administration might enlist its assistance in the cause.
Let's not wait until campaign time to resurrect the Student Union.
Next time General Rosalie oJnes starts on a cross-country hike she will carry a foot-warmer instead of a lantern.
"Government Drops Beer Case"
Newpaper headline. Another belated New Year's resolution.
Good for the College. It has served as a foraging ground for politicians and electancers long smorgon Now it is going to assert itself.
COLLEGE DAY
It is the natural habitat of our orators, our cheer leaders, our writers, our artists, our musicians, our teachers, our debaters. It is an all-round school.
College Day should therefore fuse the elements in the College into the strongest school unit on Mt. Oread.
WHAT SHOULD STUDENT GOVERNMENT BE?
That the W. S. G. A. is at last practically admitting its inability to enforce any week-night date rule gives the reverse side of the student government situation in the University.
What, then, should be the functions of our student councils?
Should they be allowed to retain powers which, being unused, limit the respect for the councils in the eyes of the students? Should student councils exercise disciplinary authority, or should they keep to strictly student activities such as elections, dances, rallies, and Student Days?
MAKING WINNERS IN DEBATE An organization of inter-class debates in the University would prove valuable from more than one standpoint. Such an organization would develop better and more material for inter-school debates, and would also give the debaters who do not make the regular team, a chance in a real contest.
At Manhattan there are eight debating organizations in the Agricultural College; each one of these societies has for its goal the placing of a representative on an inter-school team. The result at Manhattan is a great deal of debating spirit, good debaters, and successful teams.
A chain of organizations could be built up here. To encourage debating along class lines appears to be necessary to the development of material in the University. Many tryouts would turn the trick.
LOVE
Was it something said,
vexed him? Was it touch of hand,
Turn of head?
Strange! That very way
Love began.
I as little understand
Love's decay
-Robert Browning.
Here in the midst of winter, which many enjoy, we fall to thinking about the charms of the seasons that are to come. Let others tell why spring or summer is their favorite, or even winter, but to our mind, autumn comes first. As Shelley says:
OUR FAVORITE SEASON
Possibly autumn is the favorite season of those in whom thought predominate; spring the favorite of those in whom emotion is more dominant; and when life has been a constant physical vigor and love of active life—Harper's Weekly.
In autumn, and a luster in its sky Which through the summer is not

K. U. DICTIONARY

OH FOUNTAIN!

Full of the light,
Leaping and flashing
From morn to night!

Glorious fountain!
Let my heart be
Fresh, changeful, constant,
Upward, like thee!
OH FOUNTAIN!
—Lowell.
CAMPUS OPINION
A great deal of agitation has been going the rounds of University circles concerning the pantatorium bonding question. But have the students interested in such a proposal gone to the side of the pantatorium owner?
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The ordinary pantidorium man is honest. He must run the risk of getting the money for his work and sad as it may seem, he sometimes is unable to get the University students to pay up their bills. One reliable pantidorium man is known to have bad bills to the amount of $60.00 still outstanding from last year's work which he did for the students.
The students are not the only ones who lose on the pantatorium proposition, and where the students lose a piece of the pantatorium owner owe many.
"Pay Your Bills."

And my language is plain,

And for tricks that are vain,

Errors, like straws, upon the surface flow;
it lacks much for you must
He who would search for pearls must dive below.
—Dryden.
It is impossible to make people understand their ignorance, for it requires knowledge to perceive it. It is impossible to perceive it and hath it not—Jeremy Taylor.
METTLE
Tender handed grasp a nettle
And it stings you for your pains;
Grasp it like a man of mettle
And it soft as silk remains.
—Aaron Hill.
Spite is a little word, but it represents as strange a jumble of feelings and compound of discords as any polysyllable in the language.
