TO THE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR Congratulations, High School senior. We are not going to tell you what an important place in your life has been reached, and are going to ask you frankly what will you do next year?
Of course you are going to continue your education. Society decrees that you shall spend four more years in school before your education is complete. Don't you think it would be well to spend those four years at the University of Kansas where the best the state can afford is at your disposal?
No matter what you have decided to take up as your life work you will find at the University the best instruction, best equipment, and the best place to work. When you get your degree it will come from a school that is known the world over. We are loking for you on Mount
We are loking for you on Mount Oread next fall.
THE ONE TOPIC OF THE HOUR
"Going to the Library?"
"I can't come down tonight as I am going to the Library."
"I have just about four hours' work in the Library."
"I'd like to go but I have to work in the Library."
"Wonder if the Library will be Decapitation Day."
"BACK TO K. C."
Shall the M. U.K. U, game be returned to Kansas City is the question of the day at the University. The alumni of both schools are overwhelmingly in favor of the change. The majority of the student body are in favor of the change. What will the regents say?
Of course the final settlement of the question lies with the controlling board of the two universities. They can insist on keeping the game on college grounds—and it must stay. The Kansas and Missouri boards will find it very difficult to refuse to return the game to Kansas City when sentiment is so strong in favor of the change.
The freshman never knew how much they thought of their caps until some one proposed to burn them.
JUNIOR "PEP."
The junior class has, what is called in college slang, a variable amount of "pep." This "pep" however, runs at low ebb the greater part of the time. Proof—their action on the next year's annual. In a meeting a few weeks ago
they took definite action on the Jay hawker. Junior "pep" in that meeting ran riot. Men shouted at each other; hissed each other; called each other names, and, afterwards laughed it off. The Student Council deliberately killed the action taken by the class as this meeting. Now junior "pep" is a negative quantity with very little prospects of another rising.
There should be another display of "pep" at once. But one week remains for the next year's annual to be placed on a sound basis. The juniors are demanding a good annual as was shown in their meeting. A definite plan presented to the class by the president at another meeting would settle this question. Lets get together now juniors and—lots of "pep."
Off again; on again; fooled again freshmen. On with those caps.
LITTLE MAY CLASSICS
LITTLE MAY CLASSICS
"My but this year passed fast."
"Where are you going this summer?"
"Do you think you will get through all right?"
"Gee, but I'm sleepy today."
"No, I won't stay for Commencement."
"I get through with my Quizzes on Wednesday."
"Wonder what he will ask?"
A bright future no doubt awaits the cub reporter who described Miss Smith's beautiful, blue gown as a "pale green creation."
"BETTER OFFERS."
Kanass state University may well be distressed at the recent heavy losses sustained in the departure of instructors who have given many years of their lives to the upbuilding and success of the institution. Other losses are threatened for the immediate future, and the most discouraging feature of the situation is the fact that the members of the faculty who are leaving are doing so because they have accepted "better offers" elsewhere. "Better offers" are said to have been made to other prominent members of the University faculty and further depletion of the splendid teaching force may be expected.
These "better offers" are not of fabulous or even extravagant salaries, but merely of financial inducement commensurate with the work performed by the instructors. There is no reason why the thriving state of Kansas should not pay salaries as high as those paid by other states no wealthier. The loyalty of the members of the faculty of K. S. U. has been conspicuous. There is hardly a prominent instructor in the school who has not repeatedly refused offers of larger salaries and of positions of higher professional pride. Even the most loyal educators cannot be expected to go indefinitely sacrificing their personal interests to the institution with which they are connected. They are not to be blamed if they regard a particular offer as marking the point where they cannot make further sacrifices. It is the state which is at fault in not meeting the "better offers" which rob it of valuable service.
There is, for instance, no good reason why such a man as Dr. Carruth should feel compelled in justice to himself to change his location, and he would not have to do so if the state duplicated the conditions under which he goes to California. It is about time Kansas made a few "better offers" herself—offer that will not only duplicate but surpass those made by other universities. It is not the wealthy, privately endowed institutions, as a rule, that are taking away from Kansas some of its best instructors, but colleges and universities whose resources are not nearly so extensive as those which, of right, should be at the command of a great state University like that at Lawrence—Kansas City Journal.

GLOOMY SHORE
To the dim and gloomy shore
Thon art gone some steps before;
But thither the swift hours lead us!
If Love may in life be brief,
In death it is fixed forever!
In the hall which our feasts tillum,
The flower for an hour may bloom;
But the cress that decks the tomb,
The cress is green forever
TO THE DIM AND SHOWMY SHOP
Bulwer.
STUDENT OPINION
FILL UP THE HOLES
Editor Daily Kansan:
It may be too late to do any good this year, however, its a good start for next year. The tennis courts, which are used by a team of four men, have almost the continual attention of one man. This is quite a contrast to the attention that the Varsity's baseball diamond has received. The amount of work done on the diamond would amount to about the work that one man and a team cdo dû in a day, or $4.00 expenditure, but not all. The balls have been re-topped with clay, while the Varsity infield is now, and has been for several years, getting credit for errors while dodging balls that take "bad hops" off the gravel.
While we would not like to have the tennis courts receive any less attention than they are now getting, we think that it is only fair that the diamonds should receive attention at least proportionate with the amount which they are used.
LET'S ALL STAY Daily Konvent
A. Fan.
I noticed a communication in the Daily Kansan columns urging all the students to stay for commencement. I wish to add my hearty endorsement to this suggestion.
The program this year is unusually attractive and will be worth many times the cost to the student who stays. At Missouri attendance a commencement is compulsory as quiz week comes afterwards. This is a good idea and should be advocated here. We suggest you use your editorial columns and announce the students to remain for encore. Are You Old Grad?

clothes is that they're really worth more than we ask for them. These makers put quality into their goods far above the average: whatever the price, you'll find that you get more for the money in these clothes than you get in any others. No sense in being "made to order" when such as these are ready.

WHEN building your new home, don't use common wood lath, for it burns. It is child's play for the rats and mice to perforate it with their sharp teeth and cause trouble and difficulty.
