Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, Lawrence.
The Daily Kansan 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 encourage students 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 MEMORIAL TO "TOMMY"
JOHNSON
At different times since the death of "Tommy" Johnson, widely known as "K. U's. greatest athlete," a suitable memorial to his memory has been considered.
The picture can be obtained for eighty-five dollars. It seems that the only way to raise this amount is by popular subscription. This is the onl way and the best way, and there should be little difficulty in obtaining the money through twenty-five cent subscriptions. The matter will be brought up before the Student Council at the next meeting.
Many students have admired the life size picture of him which was on exhibition in the football booth during the Exposition. This picture should be the property of the University. It would serve as a real memorial and could be hung in the gymnasium or, at some future time, in the proposed Student Union building.
Before the academic year closes the students should see that this picture finds a suitable place in the gymnasium.
The editor-in-chief most emphatically desires to disclaim all responsibility for the alleged "verse" which appeared on the front page yesterday.
SHAME OR PRIDE?
When a man contracts debts which he has no idea of being able to liquidate, he is called a crook, a thief, and various other unpleasant names. When a class publishes an annual more expensive than it can pay for, it places itself in the same category.
The senior classes of the past few years have demanded that each Jayhawker excel its predecessor, regardless of their ability or willingness to pay for it. The result has been that certain class obligations have never been met, and the managers or the business houses which did the work have had to make up the loss. The member of a class who can take pride in a book produced at another's cost certainly has but a slight sense of financial honor, and it should be a matter of shame
instead of pride that his class nas so excelled the others.
It is high time that the senior classes realize this fact, and make their plans on a scale that will enable them to pay their own way. If the Jayhawker of the past few years has been too expensive and too large the fact should be frankly admitted and a simpler standard set.
The juniors, in laying their plans for next year, are anxious that their book shall be equal to former editions. They must recognize that they will have to pay the price or go back.
A cheaper book, fully paid for,
would be a much greater credit to
the class than the finest Jayhawker
ever published if dishonestly obtained.
It is hard to work up much enthusiasm for that case of "the State of Kansas vs. Hamlet."
Something Doing at Our Sister Colleges

Ye Ed. Was Evidently Not Invited
The Delphic has been troubled
lately by someone who is attempting
to turn the Delphic office into a
"booze emporium" every Saturday
evening. The office and the back
yard seem to be a favorite place for
week-end sprees and the remains of
the celebration are always very much
in evidence when the staff comes to
an on-site visit. We are unanimous vote we have decided that this must stop. The staff has a bad enough reputation as it is. We do not care to have the "reproachful eye" cast in our direction any more than we can help. If they must have their beer parties we kindly ask them to keep away from our office and celebrate elsewhere—Drake Daily Delphic.
Not A Suggestion For
The Single Board Once again, the attendance committee of the faculty pounced upon chapel skippers. Pres. Culbertson read at chapel the names of five who were guilty of violation of absence rules. He instructed semester in greater detail before. Each offender must read a book on some deep and weighty subject. An outline and paper must be written on the book and handed in. After these formalities, the guilty one must take an examination on the book. If the student flunks, he will be assigned another book and the performance repeated—College Life, Emporia.

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.
I would like to know what has become of the movement for a Student Union started some time ago by the Daily Kansan. Was that plan simply a space filler for the editor, something to talk about, or was there really some foundation for it? I think a Student Union would be a great thing for the undergraduate and graduate students, whether you meant it or not. If anything is to be done this year, the time is very short, and it looks as though you should get busy very soon. So far as I have heard everybody seems to favor such an organization, and I believe the thing could be worked through. Count me in.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Editor Daily Kansan:
Your view that the Student Council should have allowed the Juniors to adopt the proposed Jayhawker plan, even though it was unwise, strikes me as wrong. The plan proposed is a very cheap way the Juniors have of getting rid of their responsibility, and I believe many who voted it realized fully that it did not at all solve the problems. Others who discussed the matter so learnedly, don't know any more about the cost or methods of financing an annual than a six-year-old child. It strikes me that the Juniors are a mighty cheap bunch.

THE OREAD ORACLE
Oread Oracle:
I am a freshman, and am seriously
contemplating what I shall do this
summer. I want to make enough
money to last me through school
next year, if I can. Can you suggest
some good ways?
Short Grass.
The employment field open to freshmen is rich and fertile. There are two customary methods of whiling away the summer months. The first, and more common, is to try to sell books. You can have your time to yourself by this method, and can learn how to sell books. This is, however, theoretical. You save the money all right, but you save it for the farmers.
The other way is to go out into the harvest fields, where the billowing waves of ripened grain inspire you to pastoral labor. This method is supposed to make a husky, brawny, and sunburned man out of you. You will undoubtedly become sunburned, all right, but few cases are on record where the brawn or huskiness developed.
It makes very little difference which you decide to do. By following either method you will probably end up at home within two or three weeks, and assist Pa in the bank or the lumber yard until fall.
If you dislike heavy work, you might get a job on some newspaper. Running a newspaper is so simple that any one can do it. The remuneration is extremely lucrative, and your work will be amusing, elevating, and instructing. Oracle.
Fraternities at Northwestern University are to be housed in the quadrangle, and while they will have their own dining rooms, they will be brought into closer contact than before with other students.

FORGETFUL
Two students who have occupied seats in the front row of a certain class all year, went around to see the exhibit of that department during the Exposition. While they were admiring the display, their professors came around and spoke to them to show them feel welcome at the University.
"Well, boys," he said cordially as they left, "if you ever come to the University you want to be sure to take work in the S — department."
