UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN.
Lawrence, Kans.
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the department of journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students rather than merely printing the news by standing with them. The news is played no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to be serious and to have more serious problems to user heads; and to be able to identify the students of the University.
TUESDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1913

IT'S HERE
In two and one-half days—just think of it, a half of a school week—anticipation will be drawing to a close and realization will be coming into its own, taking you home to Dad and Mom.
Quizzes will be unpleasant memories of the past; friends and home and good things in mother's pantry will have driven professors and their assignments over into the next year.
The Christmas spirit has arrived for 2300 K. U. students.
With the present high cost of living Columbus would have thought twice before trying to make an egg stand on end.
The students of Vassar are prohibited by action of the faculty from attending vaudeville and moving picture exhibitions in Poughkeepsie. This is in order to uphold the dignity of the institution. Thank goodness the University of Kansas is not a victim of this kind of dignity.
GO HOME TO BOOST
Have you got that K. U. banquet all arranged for the old grads when you are at home next week? If so, good for you; you are boosting the University and incidentally having a mighty pleasant time yourself.
Go home loaded with loyalty and information about your University. Be able to answer questions and to tell all about K. U.
A UNIVERSITY BOULEVARD
A UNIVERSITY BUILDING Mayor Bond has written an open letter to the citizens of Lawrence urging their cooperation in the question of building a University Boulevard. He also urged the cooperation of the University authorities in the construction of the driveway.
It would be a great thing for the school. At present there is no easily accessible approach to the campus. If such a driveway were built it would be much easier for visitors to see the campus. Instead of driving up on one road and around the buildings and then back down the same way, it would be possible to make a continuous drive from the west to the east and down into the residence district.
With the coming of this driveway
will come the building up of "University Heights," west of the campus. The students as a whole should heartily favor a "University Boulevard" and a "Greater Lawrence."
And according to a University authority on domestic science, it is what she saves before marriage as well as after that counts.
A COMPARISON
From all over the country come the voices of the alumni of the University of Kansas, suggesting this and that man as coach for the football team of next year. It is indeed satisfying that the alumni have their eyes on their Alma Mater continuously and are always looking out for her betterment.
Last year the question of the mill tax was up before the legislature and the matter hung in the balance. The University lost on the question of a permanent income.
Did the alumni of the University of Kansas show as much interest them in a greater matter as they are doing now in one that is of lesser importance, and one that can easily be settled by proper authorities at the University itself?

THE MILL TAX
Q. —What is the mill tax?
A. The mill tax is a proposed yearly tax of one mill or a fraction of a mill on every dollar of taxable property in the state as a basis of a permanent income for all of the state institutions.
Q—How much taxable property has the state of Kansas?
A—According to the latest figures.
$2,750,000,000.
Q—How much would a tax of one
million produce on this amount in one
year?
yes
A. Two and three-fourth million dollars.
dollars.
Q. Is not this amount about the same as the legislature provides at present?
Q—How would the University be benefited?
A. —The maintenance of the University would be on a systematic basis, removed from the danger of having its revenues curtailed by legislative whims or financial depression.
Q—Have the Legislatures provided, frequently for the University's needs?
A. The University would never be drawn into politics and the administrative heads and members of the faculty would not have to go to Topeka to resort to political methods in order to prevent the doing of some injury to some branch of the educational or state service work.
A—Hardly ever. The budgets, that have been presented to the Legislatures have asked for the exact amount necessary to run universities since the next Legislature, but ultimately the budget has been withersely cut down.
Q—In what other way would the University be benefitted?
A. —An amendment to the state constitution is necessary and the matter of its proposal should be presented to the legislature in order that it may be by them submitted to the governor or appointed at the following general election.
Q—How may Kansas adopt the mill tax system of efficient educational system and take her places among her sister states?
A—lowa, Nebraska, Colorado,
M—Arizona, Indiana, Ohio,
and many others.
A—Talk about the mill tax, discuss it in their county clubs, and with the members of the legislature from their respective districts, so that when the legislature meets again it will see the vital importance of the measure to the educational interests of the state.
Q.-What other states have perm-
manent 'incomes by function' for the
towns in question?

GUIDANCE
None of your false, unmally sympathy for the landlady—in the good old days, landladers were a Spartan race, injured to catastrophe! Nor will I have any mistaken zeal for the sleeping companions of the house—better that they awake to see the combat!
Upon the corner of a village street
To talk in public, to think in solitude, to read and to hear, to inquire and to answer enquiries, is the business of the scholar.
And when the vision widens, and the
Majestically move across the night
And God sees near in their eternal flow
When no harsh voice the sacred silence
Landlady--Will you pass the cheese Mr. Murphy?

THE GRAMMAR OF GIRLS
Then there is that superlative of happiness—the ducking of a roommate in the bath-tub, for some grave offense, real, imaginary or manufactured. How lastly the victim struggleth! How cheerily sound the cries of the awakened on-lookers, sprung like Aphrodite from the foam, into the Olympians at war! It is written that we are a degenerate age, in which muscle is becoming flabby and a good old-fashioned Michigan lumber-man fight is unknown. But give us a cold, blows night, a Friday preferably—there is a peculiar charm about a rooftop house on a hill in the countryside but helpless landlady (the type with the hawk-nose furnishest the most artistic contrast to heighten the evening's hilarity); let the time be one of the morning, and let two undergraduates clash in that modern equivalent for the tourney—the wrestling match! If a chair a bureau fall upon the俘客ers, so much blubber against. If the loser shuts against the table, better yet—what are barked shins to the pleasure of a post-midnight turmoil? These are the Olympian hours of college life!
Nothing is new; we walk where others went:
I see, beyond the structure's slender height
The shadow of a cross shape
The shadow of a circle

THE JOY OF LIVING
Fullness of life comes to people in many ways, sometimes in dreams, sometimes in business, sometimes in a book, a view, a delusion, a crime. But next to the book at the right moment (as—an immortal proverb—when the collar-button rolls under the bureau, or you cut yourself with your safety) we want no greater compensation for you. In poverty you junior play contest as a whole-hearted, enthusiastic, red-blooded rough-house.
But for a genuine student what other moment is so rapturous than when, choking with physical humor, he draggeth his room-mate by the pajama-strings from his bed, or with the grave deliberation of Angelo stacketh the apartment of his bosom friend?
There be those of anemic blood, pale devotees of the midnight oil, whose lace-frilled souls shrink from the mere mention of anything so raw as a chair overturned. These are your poor criticasts of life, who can not enter a room without straightening a picture. A book misplaced distresses them more than the indigation. Orcus for them will consist of things out of whack, defaced texts, three-legged chairs and one pair of ragged gloves. They are the parodies of existence.
So long as two students can break their bed or stack a roommate's furniture, there is hope for America"-Wisconsin Daily.

She is a colloquial noun, an objective pronoun, a transitive verb, an osculatory adverb, a qualitative adjective, a doubtful article, an inconstant conjunction, a frequent interjection and sometimes a past perfect participle, and more often a future perfect.
