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 courageous; to courageous; to leave more serious problems to waiver heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
TUESDAY, MAY 13, 1913
The greatest men have been those
through difficulties—to success
through difficulties—to success.
Just four days until we twist the Tiger's tail—once more.
EVERYBODY'S DOING IT
We are sorry but it must be done. The subscription price of the Daily Kansan will be advanced next year to $2.50. With the raise in the price of Student Enterprise tickets and the proposed boost in the cost of the 1914 Jayhawk the time doesn't seem to be auspicious for our own little hoist but it had to come, so the "sooner the quicker" as somebody said—an Irishman we suppose.
The reasons are simple. Too much reading matter, too little subscription price. A glance over our college exchanges will convince anyone that we are not outdone in the amount of goods we furnish our readers for their money, and the price that has been asked is in the very lowest rank, $2.00.
Let the plutorats speak up. It's the last opportunity.
There is one clause in the announcement that will look good to those students and members of the faculty who happen to have some ready cash, even though that number be few. That is the offer to allow re-subscriptions at the old price for one week.
The story of the Y. W. girls who saw a ghost in the "hunted" house has a rather uncanny sound.
READY FOR THE TIGERS
Score: Kansas 73, Nebraska 36.
And it is only four days until the Jayhawkers get a chance at the Tigers on McCook field.
The track season has been a peculiar one for the University, for when the first call was issued the men who appeared were mostly unknown as track men. To be sure there were a few stars, but fewer than at any time for several years. It looked like a hard year for Kansas. And so it has been—that is one of hard work.
Our men beat the "old K. U. stars" who came up here under the name of the K. C. A. C. team in an early meet. Next they tied a knot in the Tiger's tail in the annual indoor event in Convention hall. The Kansas Aggies were the next victims and last came the Cornhuskers. The men from Missouri visit us next Saturday and at that time will
occur the most important of the dual meets which our track and field athletes enter this year. Our men are in good condition and will work hard this week to make the coming meet a victory. It looks like about an even chance for the two teams. For this reason every loyal Jayhawker should plan to attend and show the same enthusiasm that was evident on the 23rd of last November.
A loyal crowd on McCook will do much to put another crimp in the Figer's tail.
Twenty-two persons attended chapel yesterday. We didn't know they were going to have big chapel.
KANSAS OR HEAVEN?
Of advance dope on the track meet between Kansas and Nebraska last Saturday, the Daily Nebraskan prints the following, which presents a view of the track situation here somewhat different from the one we are accustomed to hear.
"Kansas is in the prime of condition. She has fast men in every event and in several record-breakers. Her coaches are of the best in the valley and the enthusiasam shown for track work at their school makes their work of an easy nature. Material comes out in numbers even greater than can be handled by the coaches and a scarcity of men for any event is almost unknown.
"Nebraska is fighting against great odds in her track work. The student body has not supported this so-called minor sport as it should and as a result material is dragged out rather than comes of its own accord."
UNCLE HIRAM ON EDUCATION
Ya-as, I know that edication is a gol-dered useful thing, and the gal that goes to collage makes a wife fit fer a king. She's her graceful et the animale they call the fair gazeelle, 'an yed think her pa 'an ma to home was mighty fine an' swell. I am glad to think my Mandy's had a chance to fill her head with the fine an' splendid idees of the gal that's collidge-bread. But I cannot help but wonder what'll happen in her life when she comes back here to settle a busy farmer's wife.
Makes me proud to set an 'listen, an' to watch her when she speaks all them langwidges peculiar of the Latins and the Greeks; an' my soul is filled with pleasure when I hear her talkin' French 'bout ez easy' if 'twas nothin' but a-fallin' off a bench. She can forlent to leven on the ways of ancient Rome, in Punic wars and old things she is greedy at home. But, bighos, I sometimes wonder what'll happen when she tries for to please a hungry farmer with a batch o' punkin pies!
She can tell ey 'bout old Plato, an’t thet fellow Socrates, and there’s nothin’ that they can stump her when it comes toologies. You should hear her on the subject of The Origin of Man back in days before old Adam or his garden-sass began. Why, she goes back past the monkeys to a sort of early worm not much bigger than a dust-mote, which she calls a same gern. But I cannot help a-wond’rínf ef that sort o’ learned lore is a-goin’ to cheer her sperrit when she scrubs the kitchin floor!
Y-aas, my Mandy's edicated, an' I'm mighty glad she be, and they ain't no use denyin' she's the pride o'ma an' me. Epicetics, Dietetics—all o' them is useful things, and Eugenien comes in handy for the gals that marry kings. But ye see my Mandy's plighted to Wil伯Wil's oldest kid—he's a big shock-headed feller with few brains inside his lid—and it kind o' makes me wonder how them edicated queens is a-goin' to look majestic when it comes to cookin' beans!
She's a subject called Eugenieens that she talks about all day—it's a curious sort o' theery, an' I cannot truly say that I understand it wholly, but it seems to have to do with a perfect sort of infant of a kind ye never knew but are sure to find a-waitin', if we're careful to select for its parents two young people that's in every way correct—but I wonder if she'll find them Eugenieens can be wrong when her own red-headed freckled little skeezicks comes along!

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.
Our string of victories this year show that we have a team of which we should be proud. When before has a Kansas track队 made such a showing? Let's get back of this bunch of athletes just now. I am sure that it will have a valuable effect on the result of the meet.
Editor Daily Kansas:
The bleachers should be full next Saturday when our men meet Missouri on McCook field.
The cheer leader with his "Thundering Thousand" should be on hand Saturday.

Editor Daily Kansan:
This morning the committees started out to collect the $85 that Con Squires demands for the lifesize picture of K. U.'s greatest athlete, "Tommy" Johnson. On every hand the question was asked, "Why doesn't Con give the picture to the University?"
And come to think about it, why doesn't he? Every year hundreds of students have photographs taken. Con gets all the annual business, and has a virtual monopoly on all the other students most interested in money from students. And yet he asks $85 for the picture of "Tommy" Johnson.
I don't know anything about the cost of pictures, but it seems that $85 is none too cheap. But K. U. wants the picture, and Con has the only one there is. From a business standpoint his proposition is excellent, and after all, "business is business."

Here is an Oxford primarily designed for the young fellow who follows the newest fashion ideas—the round toe, broad, flat tread, broad shank and low heel that have come across the water from London. But so comfortable and sensible is this design that all sorts and conditions of men have adopted it. And it can tainly has greatly distracted us that you will find fresh, ready-made shoes. Every bit of material and workmanship used in it is absolutely first grade. It is a Regal leader—as advance sales already show.

The pecuniary rewards include both large salaries and liberal percentages of the saving which the chemist brings about.
The course in the University is complete, and after the necessary practical experience and work in research, leads to the degree of chemical engineer.
The demand for experts in this line is as keen as the desire of manufacturers for better processes and for the utilization of by-products.
The Daily Kansan's Educational Department will see that inquiries addressed to it are answered by the ones most competent to give full particulars regarding any vocation and the University courses preparatory for it. Address the
