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

A REST FOR THE READERS
Good morning, professor. Have you received an offer with an increase in salary and rank yet?
A REST FOR THE READERS The next seven issues will doubtless show a great improvement in the editorial page of the Daily Kansan, and afford a welcome change for the readers. Seven members of the class in Interpretation of the News, a course in editorial writing, will try their hands at the editorial game and put into practice the knowledge they have been absorbing the past few months.
**B** will afford each a chance to decide the fate of nations and wield the power of the press for one day. In the meantime, the editor and associate editor will have some chance to make up some of the class work they should have been doing the past few months and to prepare for the last final ordeal.
Traces of the senior memoria have been discovered.
HOODLUMS.
The rooming-house hoodlum is an ever present evil. He is to be found in every house where a number of boys are domiciled together. There may be girl hoodlums of the same type who cause weeping and grashing of teeth among the feminine portion of the student body, but a respect for womankind forbids the thought of such.
The hoodlum seldom, if ever, finds it necessary to study, and consequently has all his time to play jokes and annoy the other members of the household. He takes greater pride in "slipping one over" on a friend than he would in making 100 in the hardest examination ever given on Mount Oread. To that end he devotes himself industriously, with an ingenuity that would do credit to an Apache Indian.
The worst of this sort of nuisance is that he is a good-humored nuisance, and it is hard to take more than momentary offense at his pranks. If he were inspired by malice or pure viciousness it would be an easy matter to effect a union of forces and effectually stop his activity; but he is generally a "good scout," and the only recourse is to pay him off in his own coin. It does not require long for such hoodium
to disorganize a whole house, and efectually put an end to serious study.
While it is possible that some better means of punishment may be provided, it seems that a suitable afterword for such persons would be to gather all of them together in an iron-bound, unbreakable house, and make them live together through all the ages.
Dark chapters in a man's past are sure to be revealed. It has just developed that one prominent student took voice lessons when young.
M'COOK DESERTED
Not until next fall—early in October—will McCook field again be the gathering place for twenty-five hundred Jayhawkers, a battle ground for the wearers of the crimson and the blue. McCook is dead for the time being. To be sure there will be track and baseball practice, ball games of minor interest, and the annual commencement week game between the seniors and the alumni, but as far as the mass of students is concerned McCook is no more—except in memory—until next fall.
On many occasions during the year McCook is the center of interest. There are the football games, which draw the best of all. Baseball and track come in the spring, and bring many spectators to the field. Then the ground is again seeded in order to make a good gridiron for the big football games. Thus the procession goes. The student is here four years and sees the change from season to season. He is always interested in the affairs of McCook and as he passes from freshman to senior others take his place. After he is graduated a similar undergraduate body is going down to the field to see the representatives of the University of Kansas uphold her in the intercollegiate contests.
THE SAME AT K. U.
THE SALE AT K. C.
In Kinsley everybody is interested in the boys and girls. Everybody enjoys them and boosts for what they want, and is proud of everything they do.
We thought that was a particular weakness of our town, and supposed that when one got in the atmosphere of the Kansas University other interests would loom larger in conversation. But the folks there are the same, and the boys and girls come first. The only difference is that the K. U. young people cover a wider area of Kansas.
What can be done for them, what they need, what will make them happy, and train them for the future, occupies the entire horizon. At the K. U. Exposition learned professors went about talking about what a wonderful thing it was and that all the credit belonged to the students, and how marvelous the exhibits were and what a wonder the May Fete would have been if the girls could only have had decent weather, until the writer felt as if she were at home. After all the world is much alike if we could only know it, and to be human and enjoy it is perhaps life's chiefest satisfaction—Kinsley Graphic.

THOSE EVENING BELLS
evening bell! Bells! even
bell! Bells!
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Those joyous hours have passed
ataw;
When last I heard their soothing chime!
THOSE EVENING BELLS
How many a tale their music tells
Of youth, and home, and that sweet
touch
And many a heart that then was gay
Within the tomb now darkly dwells,
And hear's no more those evening
bells.
And so 'twil be when I am gone—
That funnelful reall will still ring on;
While other bards shall walk their
dells.
THE OREAD ORACLE
And sing, your praise, sweet evening,
bells.—Moore.
STUDENT OPINION
Students are invited to express their views through this column. The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of good faith.
Editor Daily Kansan:
That the senior memorial is not dead is indeed encouraging news. It has been several weeks since the committee was appointed and the members of the class had begun to feel that the agitation would have no real result.
However if the four pillars are to be erected there will have to be some quick action taken. Only three weeks remain until the seniors leave M. Oread and some of them will not return for a long time. If a memorial is to be erected the work should be completed before June 11 in order that every member of the class can see the gate-way.
If the committee is merely smothering the proposition in the hope that it will die unnoticed it is mistaken for many of the seniors are thinking of the matter and wondering if this year's class is to leave without having erected a memorial.
Dear Oracle:
A Senior.
If he fails to respond to this continued treatment, he is either an imbecile, or has had his freshman year before.
Oracle.
I am a senior girl, and will be going away forever in a few weeks. I dearly love a young freshman, and must win him before I go. Life without my little freshman would not survive. Oracle, you are a woman, and know what it is to love. I am in such misery. Help me, help me.
Never give up hope, Frantic.
With the right tactics you should win the little freshman before school is out. As a rule, a freshman is shy and timorous until he has been taken away from his native village for a year or two, and is likely to be very frightened. Keep a close watch on him, as he is susceptible to any female influence.
Frantic
Read his German and Latin for him. Teach to dance. Tell him confidentially that you think he looks like Maurice Costello. Invite him to fudge parties. Do anything else. Before long he will unconsciously begin to yield to your overtures, and this is your chance.
A freshman's powers of love are not yet fully developed, so never feel too sure of him. Whenever he tells you that he has just been spanked, say "Oh, you poor, dear, little boy," and put your hand on his shoulder. Look deep and yearningly into his eyes. Make a film come over your voice to give it a pathetic quaver.
