Be great in act as you have been in thought.—Shakespeare. DON'T WAIT TO BE DUNNED If you believe in "useful" Christmas gifts, here is a suggestion for a New Year's resolution worth while: pay the Jayhawker that $6 promissory note for your annual without waiting until the collector hunts you up or runs you down. And don't make this the ordinary boreshe New Year's resolution made and forgotten with equal ease. The matter of keeping the Jayhawk to the front is important to the entire University. Here is your chance to help. If you have signed a note, a little thought on your part will mean much to the fellows on the Jayhawkter. Send that check tomorrow. On the Sunday before Christmas a pillar in one of the downtown churches slipped from its place beneath the balcony just before the morning service and it took all of the other pillars of the church to get it back in place again. KER—SLIP—BUMP! At this time of year when the Adams street hill assumes a slickness equal to 1500 banana peelings, a little sand on the track, or a cleared sidewalk as soon as the snow quits falling, would win the approval of everyone who now picks his slippery and dangerous way up and down the east approach. Every manufacturing concern of any great size provides adequate approaches to and from its buildings to protect its employees from pedestrial injuries. Why not clean off the Adams hill sidewalk? A MODERATE MEASURING Seniors, now and to come, be moderate in the value of your class memorial. Do not leave the University without having left something for her campus; but be careful lest the assessment is too large large. A MODERATE MEMORIAL A memorial should be so chosen that it will be a lasting remembrance of the graduating class, but not necessarily a measure of the wealth of that particular class. There is danger that the memorial fund might injure the Jayhawker fund, and this, too, should be guarded against. A concrete seat, several trees, or even one large tree transplanted to the campus, are suggested as suitable and reasonable memorials within in the reach of senior pocketbooks. THE WRONG ATTITUDE A faculty member was heard to say the other day that he felt he would not care to answer the sociology department questionnaire on fraternities because he was too near to the question. is not this professor making a mistake in his attitude? Faculty opinions should have great weight with the compilers of the questionnaire because of the daily experience of professors with both fraternity and non-fraternity students. If a professor who is hired to teach students cannot lay prejudice aside and give the results of his experience to investigators working for the good of the University, he will not measure up to what many students, fraternity and non-fraternity, are doing. --the Ages known as the Dark Ages?" Wise Frosh—Because there were so many knights"—Wisconsin Sphinx. According to the American Library Annual for 1912-13 the library of the University of Kansas has 1, 182,600 volumes. The man who counted them only missed it some 1,200,000 odd volumes. TEN O'CLOCK CHAPEL TEN O'CLOCK CHAPEL The most feasible suggestion) so far made for the betterment of chapel is the changing of the hour. That ten o'clock chapel draws better than the present eleventh hour system is proven by the attendance of former years. With chapel at ten many students who have eleven o'clock classes will be compelled to attend, in order to keep warm if for nothing else. Professors should not object to the suggested change since the football season is over and the rallies which might endanger their eleven o'clock classes will be few and far between during the coming months. The Foot-path to Peace To be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to look up at the stars, to be satisfied with your possessions but not contented with yourself until you have made the best of the despise you have experienced the world except good mood and manseness, and to fear nothing except cowardice, to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts, to covet no thing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners, to think seldom of your enemies, offer of you compassion, to Cherish and to spend a much as you can, with body and wit spirit in God's out-of-doors: there are the little guide-posts on the foot path to peace—Henry Van Dyke. OUR DAILY QUIZ Use honor system and grade yourself FACULTY ATTENDANCE AT CHAPEL Q. —Why don't faculty members attend chapel exercises? A —Because there are only some suits for a third of them. Q—Can't more chairs be placed on the rostrum? A. —No, it will not hold more than fifty or sixty. Q—Are those fifty always filled on Tuesday and Friday? A. —Yes, as the faculty understands the term—meaning about one person to a row. Q. —Why don't enough come to fill the few remaining chairs? A. —They are restrained by courtesy, each fearing that if he goes he will crowd somebody else out. A. Some play golf, checkers; or tiddley-winks; others are busy giving out interviews. Q—Suggest a scheme for permitting fifty or sixty to attend without feeling that they are depriving anyone else of the privilege. A. —Names might be drawn from a hat every chapel day. Or, let the faculty attend in bunches of fifty, in alphabetical order. Q—Why not divide the school year into three periods, letting a third of the faculty attend every session for the first three weeks, another third the second, and so on? Q——How do the other 172 professors console themselves? A—Out of the question. No professor could be induced to give up chair for three whole months at a stretch. Are you happy in the sun, Dusty patridge? There's the gun. Are you happy in the brook, Dace and gudgeon? There's the hook. THE RESPONSES Do you suffer any shocks, Gawky gosling? There's the fox. Are you happy in the oats, Nimble rabbit? There are shoats. Does your heart go pit-a-pat, Gray silk mouse? There's the cat. Is your breast as light as cork, Dapped hedgebird? There's the hawk. Are you happy in God's plan, Subtle woman? There is man. Did I hear you catch your breath, Sinewy Caesar? There is death. —Norman Gale in Westminster Gazette. Narrowness of mind is often the cause of obstinacy; we do not easily believe beyond what we see. STILL KICKING We do not believe that this movement was started in a spirit of empathy toward anyone, but in an earnest endearment to further the interests of the athletics at universities, however, the wishes of the students and alumni, are at least considered. If alumni, in the main, having been here four years, know nothing about condition, who know nothing about race, the greatest asset which any university can possess? Come, let "us" be great. To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: We hereby wish to file an objection to a certain statement in the first 1914 Kansan, i. e., that "the Kennedy boom was raised by a few personal enemies to Arthur Musselman". We consider the majority of the students (including the football squad), most of the alumni and the people of Lawrence generally as "a few personal enemies of Arthur Mosse"? Why should the "University" paper in columns, seek to discredit "faiths" because it doesn't agree with their ideas? CAMPUS OPINION Reputation is a jewel which nothing can replace; it is ten thousand times more valuable capital than your diamonds. Here, You Lovers, Take Notice A professor emeritus of the University of Michigan is quoted as having said that love-making is an art and should be learned as a part of a college curriculum. The men do not wait until they are thirty-five before looking at the fair sex. "Regretting." Professor McKeever of Kansas University declares that any suppression of "puppy love" is a great mistake. If love-making becomes a regular course, it would be a case of "kiss me, kid, I need the credit."—Student Life. Selections From The Pen Of The World's Great Men The sweetest birds build hear the ground. Laboulave. Loyalty Hon. Alex. Appleby, editor of the Leesville (Colo.) Light, is tired of being criticized. "Many people kick because the papers never tell the truth," he says. "Let the man or woman in Lesville who wants to use to tell the truth be her hand up," and well try to be accommodate." New York Telegraph. Kicking Back Smart Youth History Prof-"Why are the Middle Ages known as the Dark Ages?" The loveliest flower springs low; And we must stoop for happiness If we its worth would know. —La Rochefoucauld. If put to the pinch, an ounce of loyalty is worth a pound of cleverness.—Anon. Let us be of good cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. —Lowell.

White of the mathematics department represented the University of Kansas at the sixth biennial council of the deans of women of state universities which was held in Chicago the 16, 17, and 18th of December. Twenty-three state universities were represented, ranging over the country from Oregon and Washington to Vermont. Among the various topics of student welfare discussed were vocational training for women, cooperative housekeeping, the extra curriculum system, sororities and student government. "Student government is such a recent thing that its advantage or disadvantage could not be decidedly determined," said Miss White today. "Both Michigan and Wisconsin recently received grants for a program well with them. Northwestern University was able to display two houses run on the cooperative house-keeping plan where the delegates are housed by the houses lodges about seventy women and the other about forty and both seem to be highly successful. Seventeen thousand families have been represented in the student body since the founding of the University of Kansas.
