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 learn and appreciate others; to leave more serious problems to weir heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

A SUCCESS
The first Kansas University Exposition was a decided success. The crowds of visitors from over the state exceeded all expectations, and all seemed greatly pleased with what they saw. J. Pluvius did his worst, but Mount Oread is too high to be flooded and he could not spoil the occasion.
The greatest value of the Exposition was in showing the people of the state what the University is really doing and in making them more familiar with their greatest educational institution, but even without this side to it, the Exposition was very much worth while in its effects on the student body. They, too, have been given a new idea of the magnitude of the work done here and many students who consider themselves thoroughly informed as to what is happening around the University found that they had, after all, but an inadequate conception, while others for the first time got some appreciation of the work of other departments.
Our guests have returned to their homes with a greater appreciation of and a greater respect for the work of the University. They have seen what a wonderful diversity of studies is included in the class room and laboratory work. They have been shown in a way that will be remembered, what the University is doing for the state of Kansas in the way of direct state service. They will have a new sympathy and loyalty to the University of Kansas.
The University of Kansas is a great school, and we need such an University Exposition every two years to show the people of the state—and ourselves—what it is doing.
The showers Saturday afternoon put a slight dampener on the Exposition.
PRACTICAL WORK
"When is a peck not a peck?"
The answer to this question was presented by the Bureau of Weights and Measures in a very forcible manner in their Exposition exhibit.
The practical value to the state of such a department is easily recognized by any one with eyes—and its work is of value to every one who buys or sells. At the exhibit, confiscated weights and measures were shown together with the correct standards The contrast was remarkable. This curiosity shop increases in size each year as the inspectors do their work.
This is but one of the many departments which help the state directly. It is used merely as an illustration of how good an investment is the money which the state puts into the University.
The gun that "wasn't loaded" is no more deadly than the car brakes that won't work.
Manager Hamilton had just grounds for his fear that the track meet would be "swamped."
One student took his parents around to the Jayhawker booth during the Exposition and showed them what a fine book the Jayhawker was. Then he sighed regretfully that as he was broke he couldn't buy a copy of the book.
We fear that this wet weather may drive someone, in desperation, to try handball for amusement.
THE OREAD ORACLE
My room-mate snores outrageously. I like him, and this is his only fault. I do not wish to use violence, but unless there is an immediate change for the better, there is going to be a tragedy. Isn't there some peaceful way of suppressing him?
Outraged Freshman.
A liberal application of strap on might prove of great benefit, but if your room-mate is larger than you are, try some other method. A tablespoonful of morphine-sulphur administered to a small group may be a great quieter. You might also try holding a bottle of concentrated ammonia under his nostrils.
A snorer is very headstrong, and violent measures are often necessary. A simple but efficient method is to soak a sheet in chloroform and pour on his face. Pour on a fresh supply of the liquid every ten minutes.
But there is only one absolutely sure way to prevent a man from snoring. This custom is slightly barbarous, however, and is resorted to only in the most desperate cases. That is to cut his head off.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
To free the hollow heart from paining—
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome.—The Editor.
They stood aloof, the scars remaining;
Like cliffs which had been rent asunder;
But never either found another
A dreary sea now flows between,
But neither heat, nor frost, no
thunder,
murder,
Shall wholly do away, I ween,
The marks of that which once bath been—Coloridae.
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 wish herewith to file a kick against the kick of the simp who, in today's Kansan, makes a plea for so-called "clean rooting" at base ball games. Said imp seems to take to the idea that when one goes to a ball game he should adopt the English style of wearing frouf coat, light trooper jacket, high hat and handkerchief or perhaps going so far as to wave his手関chief, every time one of the players makes a good play.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Slang expressions at a baseball game have become as much a part of the game as the batting, the pitching, or the scoring. The umpire expects it, the players expect it, and the crowd knows that it expects. It is a part of the "ginger" of the game. When some sap-headed player of the visiting team makes some rank error, who—what red-blooded American—would wish to turn to his lady and politely say: "Dear, dear! Isn't that just too bad. I expect he feels dreadful about it. Look, he is going to cry." Piffle! When rooting gets to that stage, I don't think there will be such a thing as baseball. Someone ought to take up a collection to buy the writer of today's kick a baby pacifier.
—Archbald.

BOARD CAN LEGALLY CONTROL WEIR SCHOOL
Cody's Book Out
A text-book on inorganic chemistry, by Prof. H. P. Cady, published by the McGraw-Hill Book Company, of New York, is out. This is one of a series of text books edited by Prof. H. P. Talbot of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and published under the general title "The International Chemical Series."
Administrative Officers Also Confirm Changes In Aggie Printing
Official confirmation of the reported abolition of the School of Printing of the State Agricultural College at Manhattan was made Saturday by E. T. Hackney, president of the Board of Administration, which is in session at the University. The ruling will go into effect beginning January 14, another co-ordinator any of the state educational institutions have been abolished nor in any way altered or transferred.
Friday the board reviewed the work of the University with the various administrative officers. It went to Topea Sunday to hold session there for several days. It is probable that at that time the faculties of the state schools will be re-elected.
The Board received an opinion from Aatorney-General Dawson Saturday concerning the question of whether or not the Board has legal authority to control the affairs of the Weir City School of Mines, about which a question was raised because of the peculiar wording to the statute that created the Board. Attorney-General Dawson rendered an opinion that the Board possesses full and complete authority to act with regard to the affairs of the school.
The Board reviewed the Exposition in its smallest detail. "It is a wonderful exhibition of what the institution is doing," said Mr. Hackney, and both Mr. Hoch and Mrs. Lewis were liberal with praise. "It is a marvelous showing," said Mr. Hoch.
In addition the Board said that they thought parts of the displays should be preserved and shown at the large fairs throughout the state, like those of Hutchinson and Topeka. It is altogether probable that action along this line will be taken.
Confirmation was also made by the Board of the reported ruling regarding the minimum number of students that would be allowed to
To Be a Women's Dean?
Professor O'Leary told the "Quillists" or "Qrillers," he wasn't sure which title to use, that they ought to keep a scrapbook, because anyone who doesn't keep one, isn't a true lover of poetry, and that everyone wishes to be, even "aspirers without wings of aspiration."
"A scrapbook should contain the things you really care for," said Professor O'Leary, "the things you want to read, not the things that makers of anthologies think you ought to read. Your book will be a priceless treasure to you, containing the isolated good things such as Lincoln's favorite poem, 'O, Why Should the Spirit of Mortal be Proud?' by William Knox, or other typical wafles, such as 'The Burial of Sir John Moore', and 'The Bivouac of the Dead.'"
"Some Waifs from a Scrapbook" were introduced to the members of the Quill Club last week by Prof. W. Leary, of the department of English.
"SHOULD KEEP A SCRAP BOOK"
Prof. O'Leary Advises Quill Club To Save Stray Poems.
TRACK SCHEDULE
At a meeting of the women members of the faculty last week the advisability of having a Dean of Women at the University was informally discussed. A recommendation may be made to the administration in the near future.
