DON'T WAIT TO BE DUNNED If you believe in "useful" Christ mas gifts, here is a suggestion for a New Year's resolution worth while: pay the Jayhawk 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 boresmes New Year's resolution made and forgotten with equal ease. The matter of keeping the Jayhawker 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 Jayhawker. 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 sidewalks? 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. 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. A concrete seat, several trees, or even one large tree transplanted to the campus, are suggested as suitable and reasonable memorials within 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. According to the American Library Annual for 1912-13 the library of the University of Kansas has 1,282,600 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 them, to despise nothing in the world except falsehood and corruption except cowardice, to be governed by your admirations rather than by your disgusts, to covet nothing that is your neighbor's except his kindness of heart and gentleness of manners, to think seldom of your enemies, often of your friends and every day of Christian bonding, with body and with spirit in God's out-of-doors: are the little guide-posts on the footpath 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 seats enough for a third of them. Q. —Can't more chairs be placed on the rostrum? A. —Yes, as the faculty understands the term—meaning about one person to a row. A. —No, it will not hold more than fifty or sixty. Q—Are those fifty always filled on Tuesday and Fridays? A. —They are restrained by courtesy, each fearing that if he goes he will crowd somebody else out. Q—Why don't enough come to fill the few remaining chairs? 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. A. Some play golf, checkers, or tiddley-winks; others are busy giving out interviews. Q. —How do the other 172 professors console themselves? 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? A—Out of the question. No professor could be induced to give up chapel for three whole months at a stretch. Are you happy in the sun, Dusty patridge? There's the gun. THE RESPONSES Do you suffer any shocks, Gawky gosling?

CAMPUS OPINION We do not believe that this movement was started in a spirit of enmity toward anyone, but in an earnest endeavor to further the interests of the athletics of the University. In most 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 does? Shall we discredit our alumni, the greatest asset which any university can possess? Come, let "us" be great. To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: 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 Mosse." Is it fair and proper to 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 its columns, seek to discredit "facts" because it doesn't agree with their ideas? Norman Gale in Westminster Gazette. 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 five-like before looking at the fair sex. STILL KICKING 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. "Regretting." Narrowness of mind is often the cause of obstinacy; we do not easily believe beyond what we see. History Prof—"Why are the Middle Ages known as the Dark Ages?" Wife Fresh—"Because there were 848 kni ni h t s." —Wisconsin Spinix. Hon. Alex. Appleby, editor of the Leesville (Colo.) Light, is tired of being criticized. Smart Youth Laboulave. The sweetest birds build near the ground. "Many people kick because the papers never tell the truth," he says. "Let the man or woman in Lees be careful to tell her to stand up and we'll try to her or stand up and we'll try to be accommodating."—New York Telegraph. Kicking Back Reputation is a jewel which nothing can replace; it is ten thousand times more valuable capital than your diamonds. Selections From The Pen Of The World's Great Men The loveliest flower springs low; And we must stop breathing. And you would know. 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. Loyalty -Swain. ... —La Rochefoucauld.

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 Michaels and was progressing very well with them. Northwestern University was able to display two houses run on the cooperative housekeeping plan where the delegates took turns to work in the classrooms and 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.
