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 be cheerful; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

The man lives twice who lives the first life well.—Herrick.
The end of the school year is drawing near. The examination schedule has been printed.
THE SENIORS' PEP
The one distinguishing trait of the senior class is its pep, its superabundant enthusiasm. The latest example is in the matter of the annual senior play.
The election of a manager for the play attracted considerable interest, the first of the year, but after that arduous labor was performed the interest of the members waned. The manager went ahead with her work, secured a play—advancing the money from her own pocket, or pursue—finally succeeded in obtaining a cast, and began rehearsals.
The seniors are to be congratulated on their pep and "get there" spirit.
When it came to the question of backing the play, the wonderful enthusiasm that has characterized the class this year and former years was apparent. It was late in the year; and nobody had time or inclination to help along the enterprise, particularly when it came to giving the manager some assurance that she would not have to make up a deficit if the play met the fate of all other dramatic enterprises at the University this year. The senior play will not be given this year, and the class of 1913 has the honor of having broken one of our oldest traditions. We are eagerly striving to build up traditions, you know.
Saturday is your last chance this season to see another knot tied in the Tiger's tail.
Why do other Universities insist on taking our professors when so many seniors are willing to accept positions?
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
Sixteen days from today—at 1:30 sharp—torture begins.
Torture for all, indeed—for faculty as well as students declare that quizzes, especially finals, are odious. To the average student this attitude on the part of professors is entirely inexplainable, for why should the professor worry. He either sends a “fellow” to deliver the bitter message in the form of ten or twelve unfathonable questions or he comes himself and, apparently, spends a pleasant hour looking over
his flock with a fatherly eye. You can't tell, but it surely looks like his declared attitude in regard to his exam is a blind lead.
But the student—he has reason, to dislike this week of pain. Consider the happy-go-lucky who has failed to do that assigned reading. To him the quiz days are terrible chiefly because he is lost in wonder as to what will happen. The real student has little fear of the finals, but he is apt to feel that it is a great bugbear, a waste of time which he would like to spend in other ways. Why are quizzes anyway, he thinks. The senior especially considers that quiz week is an incongruous period which greatly mars the last few days of his college life. Why, oh why, thinks he, must I be so torured.
Perhaps, however, the custom of giving finals is a tradition which should not be violated considering the fact that the student body of the University is desperately searching for traditions.
The Daily Kansan bards still continue their inroads.
"Jurisprudence Club Gives Humble Picture," says a headline. Spring this one yourself.
SCATTERING ONEE ENERGIES
There are a good many seniors in the University, who, as they look back over their college course, can call to mind the many things they have tried to do. or have done, after a fashion, but none of which they have done thoroughly. Part of these, at least, will have some feelings of regret, perhaps, that they did not confine their fields of action more closely, and do thoroughly a few things, rather than scatter their energies over a multitude of activities. As it is, they has been more active or prominent in university affairs, by the time he is a senior he is dividing his time among a dozen or more different things, and the result is that he cannot do any of them entirely conscientiously or thoroughly, including his studies.
If a man is ambitious, opportunities and honors are likely to come his way. If he is ambitious merely, the glory that comes from position will be his final goal. If he is both ambitious and conscientious, he will feel the responsibility that goes with his position. If a man of the latter class can look back over his college course and feel that he has completely shouldered all the responsibilities he has accepted, that what he has done he has done thoroughly or to the best of his ability, he ought to be able to graduate with a feeling of satisfaction. But men of this sort are indeed the exception.
The young and ambitious college man is almost certain to attempt more than he can do. He is willing to shoulder responsibility, but usually he tries to shoulder too much; and amid all the glories of graduation, if he is of conscientious nature, he will feel that he has left behind him a debt that he can never pay.

ADVENTURES OF THE MUNCHAUSEN CLUB
The last time I was in the Big Horn mountains I was attacked by a large bear about fifteen miles from camp. I took refuge in a tree, while the hungry carnivor pranced around below me. Suddenly I felt a bite, and saw that a huge ant had seized my knee between his mandibles. The tree was covered with the blood-thirsty Formicoida, and I was in danger of being bitten to death. Quick action was necessary. I tossed my hat to the ground, and the bear pounced upon it, expecting to find my head inside. I now dropped astir when beast, seized his ear, and shouted, Beat it, you will-eyed stuff” Gamelan began to travel. Everything was a blur on both sides of us. When I judged that we had gone far enough I dropped off and crawled into camp. About ten minutes later a faint voice called “Beat it, you wall-eyed stuff!” It was the echo, which had just arrived. Gentlemen, I realize that this is a remarkable story. Only the reputation for truth and vexility which I enjoy warrants me in feeling that it will be believed.

STUDENT OPINION
UPPERCLASSMEN ON "SCRAP"
Editor Daily Kansan:
Students are invited to express this column. The name of the writer is signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of publication.
A FRESHMAN'S VIEW
Editor, Daily Kangan:
I hope the rabble of the freshmen class in last night's scrap will not be taken as a true representation of that class. The idea of calling upon certain individuals to paddle them is absurd and lacks reason. A few more similar bone heads on the part of such freshmen is liable to cause trouble for the whole class. The wearing of freshmen caps is an insignificant annoyance, even to those who protest against wearing them, compared to what will be put out by the upper classman once they have sufficient cause to become stirred up. It used to be that it was not safe for a freshman to go walking on the campus with a girl. Whether or not this status of affairs will return rests with the freshmen. I for my part wish to wear my freshman cap and be a friend of every upper classman who will condescend to speak to me and I don't consider myself as lacking pep peper.
A FRESHMAN'S
A Freshman.
The instance last night of the brutal treatment of the freshman by the upperclassmen is much regretted and censored by the sensible and humane element of the upperclasses. Any incident that will so disable any person as to require medical attention and cause loss of valuable time from their classes is much to be censored. All who participate should be可爱ible. affair should be dealt with very severely inasmuch as they broke into the routine of the work so near the end of the term.
It was understood several years ago that all class "scraps" should be abolished forever, and now a crowd of rowdies break this precedent and rule of the institution. However it should not be thought that the cause of this interruption is due to the usurping of our regular holiday, May the first, by the "World's Imposition." We as upperclassmen do not wish to leave this impression.
