Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, Lawrence.
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 able to be helpful; to leave more serious problems to viser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

It is peculiarly American not to be satisfied with anything—Beecher.
KNOCKS SOMETIMES HELP
K. U. students can stand a defeat in track, but when the Tigere beat our tennis team the anguish is too great to bear.
Unanimity of opinion is not always the greatest incentive to progress. That is, advancement comes more quickly where there is a certain difference of opinion but not severe antagonism.
Thus we may expect the work of the Men's Student Council to become more and more important in its extent and influence, for unanimity of opinion was evidently lacking in regard to the Council in the talks of Students' Day speakers. The statements varied from the idea that the Council was merely a tool in the hands of the faculty to the idea that it is a body of great power.
The Daily Kansan believes that the Chancellor hit the right note when he said on the whole the Council has been a success and that it has proved to be a good experiment. Of course the Council has made mistakes and some which seemed quite serious to the average student, but on the whole it has quite adequately represented student opinion. If the newly elected Council is able to do what the president said would be the aim, give the students a square deal and stand for what is best for the University of Kansas, it will accomplish much.
With sincere, capable men and earnest, work the Student Council increase its influence and its power year after year. If the Council proves that it is capable of student government it will gradually get more power until no one can have even the slightest reason to say that it is the faculty's tool.

DEFEAT
In every contest there can be but one victor. In the track meet Saturday with the Tigers, Kansas was not that victor. The students here regret this fact the more because it destroys our hope of triumphing over Missouri in every form of sport this year.
The track team has good reason to feel proud of its work, and the University has good reason to feel proud of its representatives. The
team this year is one of the very strongest teams Kansas has ever had. The team which represents Missouri this year ranks with the best in their history. It was best matched against best.
In a defeat, contested gamely,
cleanly, and with every effort put
forth, there is no disgrace.
Missouri wins this time. But we believe that in some of the events they can not repeat, and look forward to the conference meet with much interest.
J. Pluvius seems to have a strong affinity for out-door events here.
The seniors wil be the told about "The College Man of Tomorrow," at commencement. What they want to know is what will become of the college man of today.
A SENIOR BARBECUE
Everybody likes to make suggestions and give advice to the seniors. So short is the time left for them to enjoy college life that everyone except the faculty, which refused to exempt them from final examinations—wants them to enjoy their last few days as much as possible.
Some time ago it was suggested that the man of the class should get together at a barbecue or smoker before commencement, when they go out to face the cold, cruel world. The suggestion is a good one and will be favored by a large number of the seniors.
The men of the class have missed a great deal of good, wholesome enjoyment by not meeting together and getting more thoroughly acquainted during their college days, but it is not too late for at least one such gathering.
But 21 days, all told, till June 11.
For this week only, the Daily Kansan is running a bargain sale, and the offerings are not remarks.
THE STUDENT WHO WORKS
"There is no greater luck that a young man can have," says David Starr Jardin, "than to be thrown upon his own resources." He had particular thought of the college man and went on to describe a student organization known as the "Strug," composed of men who lived "close to the bone" and who worked at all sorts of jobs. There are more students who have graduated from the "Strug" than from any other club or organization of Cornell.
The "Strug" student is no stranger to Wisconsin. On every hand are examples of men who are making a splendid fight for liberal education, and who will be leaders of the commonwealth in days to come. It has been aptly said that the world moves aside for the man who knows where he is going; the working student generally knows very clearly what he intends to do, and how to go about doing it.
It is reported that a Harriman pays only $2 a week for his room at Yale and in other ways is doing his best to prevent his money from being a handicap to his personal development. Were all students like that there would be no social distinctions and the snob, either of arrogant wealth or defiant poverty, would quickly disappear. Carlyle never said a truer thing than when he emphasized the aristocracy of labor.
Look you, not down there, upon the man who works for his living, if you happen to have enough of this world's goods to take you through the university in ease. Nor you who must work, despise not the man with more money than you, nor the belongs to the fraternity of the university, represented only by those men who are doing things, who use their little talent for the upbuilding of a better type of citizenship.—Wisconsin Daily News.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
BEFORE THE BATTLE
By the hope within us springing,
Herald of tomorrow's strife;
By that sun whose light is bringing
Chains of freedom, death or life—
Oh, remember life can be
No, forget for him it is not free!
Like the day-star in the wave,
Sinks a hero in the grave,
'Midst the dew-fall of a nations tears.
—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.
COMMUNICATIONS OMITTED
Communications absolutely will not be printed unless the name of the author is given. A number of communications in regard to the freshman-sophomore episode have been received which will not be given space because of the omission of the name of the person responsible.
Communications will be cut to the proper length, unless the subject is of extreme importance.
COMMUNICATIONS OMITTED
I noticed in the Kansan last night that the Chancellor had given the authority to handle the affair of night before last to the Men's Student Council unreservedly. Isn't this a great deal of power to give to such a young and inexperienced body with no experience but only a few of the offenders apprehended and these few will be the "goats." Consider your self in my position.
Editor.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Offender.
Editor Daily Kansan:
In Thursday's Daily Kansas were two articles in regard to the "scrap" between the freshmen and the sophomores. One freshman considers himself better than "the rabble of the freshman class," as he speaks of those who are Americans enough to fight for a square deal; and he confesses that he solicits the recognition of the upperclassmen, even though he may be called upon to be a victim.
I am a freshman and have no particular dislike for the freshman capnor the regulation regarding it. But we object to these rules being carried out in an improper manner.

ADVICE TO TENNIS PLAYERS
Editor Daily Kansan:
On page 610 of the Review of Reviews for May 1913 can be found an article on "Quick Thinking in Tennis" by Raymond D. Little. This article can be taken as authority because Mr. Little is one of the four American players chosen to defend our title against Australia and England. In this article can be found principles, which, if applied with regular practice, will make any tennis player more efficient.

"The trouble with the human race," remarked the cynical philosopher, "is that there are too many handicaps and too few scratch starts."
—Punch Bowl.
"Well," remarked the optimistic Thespian, "the increased cost of living has one advantage—the price of eggs and vegetables is becoming prohibitive. In a few years an egg will be considered a greater compliment than a bunch of American Beauty roses."

Several graduates from Vasasr college are working behind the counters of the New York department stores for three or four dollars a week gathering facts concerning the minimum wage problem as it exists in New York. These girls are members of the Wagner-Smith factory investigating committee.
So secret and exclusive is the organization known as the H H B that the public are scarcely aware of its existence, but weird voices and ghastly sights in the attic of Mary Berry Hall at the still hour of midnight on last Thursday evening revealed the fact that H B S's were having their annual initiation. — Simpsonian.
