The Daily Kanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news by standing for the ideals The University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to water heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

Editorial page today in charge of JAMES HOUGHTON
To understand the present we must study the productive influences of the past—Hurst.
Six more days of school and then
—finals!
The Daily Kansan has positive knowledge that at least seven University professors are not considering offers from other institutions.
"HOBBY" AND "R. G."
The Daily Kansan is not fond of eulogies but it believes that the work of two seniors deserve mention. Last fall two men who had always been workers in class affairs and prominent in University life were elected manager and editor of the 1913 Jayhawk.
They went into the work as they should—as the class expected them to do—and spent many an hour in giving the class and the University a book which was the result of their best efforts and the efforts of their helpers. All agree that the book is a good one but for some reason they do not respond with the purchases which are necessary if the proposition is to pay out.
Two men have put months into the annual and now their work is not properly appreciated—at least, so it seems. Perhaps the book is too big a proposition for a class. This question must be carefully considered before another annual is published but the principal phase of the question which deserves attention now is how to help the present manager and editor out of a financial hole. The seniors especially should help out those of their number who have spent their time and energy for the good of the class.
Since the senior play has received a death blow it is certainly encouraging to know that the memorial plan has not yet accumbed.
THE STUDENTS' VIEWPOINT
THE STUDENTS VIEWPOINT
The University of Kansas is anxious for every manifestation of interest shown for her by the alumni and wishes to afford them every possible opportunity to keep in touch with the institution.
No doubt the alumni who are making the campaign to take the annual Kansas-Missouri football game back to Kansas City are honest in their opinion that such a
move would be for the good of the University. Are they not, however, unintentionally influenced by selfish motives? For alumni Kansas City is more accessible than the college towns. Therefore they believe that it is the logical place for the contest. Moreover the game was held there so long that they do not feel that it can be held elsewhere successfully.
Should not the interest of the twenty-five hundred students on Mt. Oread be the first thing to be considered? It is in reality for the student body that athletic conests of all kinds are held. Under present arrangements practically the whole student body—men and women—can see the game every two years. Student enterprise tickets cost five dollars and would doubtless remain at the same figure no matter where the annual Tiger contest is waged. On alternate years those students who can afford it will go to Columbia just as they make the trip to Lincoln now. With the game in Kansas City there is added expense to see the game each year and, worst of all, there are many, both men and women, who would be unable to see it at any time throughout their college career.
All over the United States it is fast becoming a recognized fact that college grounds are the proper places for intercollegiate matches. Also under the new plans athletics can be made to pay and at the same time get rid of the harmful features of games played elsewhere.
The alumni should look at the matter from the point of view of the ordinary student and, seeing the facts, should be willing to make the extra effort to see the games played in the college towns. Incidentally he will keep in much closer touch with his alma mater than he would if he went to Kansas City to witness the annual twisting of the Tigier's tail.
At the present rate the faculty of the University will equal 0 by the first of November, 1913.
J. Pluvis is with the handball enthusiast. He even tries to convince tennis sharks that the indoor game is the better.
A BOOST FOR THE MANDOLIN ...
A write-up of the concert by the University of Kansas Mandolin club, in the Kinsley Graphic, ends with the following kind words for the club.
Advertising is and must be a big part of the promotion of any school today. Printed matter is part of that, but judging by the remarks made by many Kinsley business men who met the young men who are members of University organization they taught their stuff to the people is to send out student organizations of just such young people. They make more friends for their school than can be made in any other way.
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Little Willie was beginning to use big words, and giving his experience with the small pox said, "I have been opposed to it once, assisted twice, and now they are talking of guaranteeing me."
He—Has she a good memory?
The Cat—Surprising! She knows some terribly old jokes.
Co-ed—What tense do I use who say, "I am beautiful?" Bold Sohh—Remote past.
The Brute.
Vermont Crabbe.
—Siren.
Doctor (examining freshman)— Can you see with one eye as well as the other?
—Widow.
Improved Vision
"I guess this will fool the income tax collector," said the third servant as he swallowed his talent. _Widow_
Freshman—Yes, sir, better.
-Widow.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.
But leave, oh, leave the light of hope behind;
What though the winged hours of
bliss have been
Cease every joy to glimmer on my mind
HOPE
Like angels visits, far and far between.
Her musing mood shall every pang appease,
WITH OUR OWN
BUDDING BYRONS
ADVENTURES OF THE MUNCHAUSEN CLUB
MY LONGEST SONG Edw. C. Hubach
And charm when pleasures lose their power to please—Anonymous.
I began to sing when I was very young. At 16 I was leading the village choir. One Saturday night I was alone in the church, practicing my songs for the next day. Suddenly I heard a stealthy step, and perceived an escaped lunatic watching me. My blood froze in my veins and my voice faltered. He crouched and fixed his glaring eyes on my throat. I choked out a few accident notes, and the maniac relaxed. He was fascinated by the music. It was a case of sing dog or die. Gentlemen, I sang. By midnight the hymn book had two o'clock I knew what I knew, and began to execute popular songs. Whenever I stopped to change tunes he became violent. Finally, just as I was singing "You're in the Right Church But the Wrong Pew," he leaped for my throat. I thought of all the things I had ever done. At this juncture, however, the keepers arrived, and after a desperate struggle subdued both of us. Gentlemen, I could not look a song in the face for over a month.
COMMUNICATION
Editor Daily Kansan:
A few days will not make much difference in your summer's work or outing, which ever it may be, and in staying on the hill you will get another taste of K. U. life, will see another phase.
I am a senior and have been on the hill several commencement weeks. I believe that those who hurry away as soon as possible after the last final lose a great deal. There are many endures, five days, my only objection being that too much dignity is apparent.
The school year is almost over and I know that students are anxious to get home. I feel however, that the students would be benefited if they would linger a few days on Mt. Oread and see the commencement exercises.
A Senior.
WHY? THEY'RE NAILED DOWN They can take our one vice chancellor.
COLLEGE IN A QUATRAIN
Hash board clubs,
And scanty bunk—
Grinds and quizzes,
Then a flunk. —H. M.
News Item—The Jayhawker cartoonist pictured Socrates with a lantern seeking an honest man on Mount Oread.
And tempt our Deans away;
And get some choice professors
With an increase in the pay.
But here is one thing certain Yea, verily a cinch,
Not a single K. U. building Will ever move an inch.
DANGAR BILL
O, yes, I'll pay the increased price
He said in accents tense.
