Education is the cheap defence of nations...Burke..
We put across one good editorial last week. The editor of an eastern college daily reprinted it, and was willing to assume the full responsi
AN INTRODUCTION
The Daily Kansan wishes to introduce you, Mr. Student, to the Natural History Museum of the University of Kansas. It is the first building you reach as you come up Oread Avenue, the building with the wide entrance where you some times see a couple of students sitting as you leave your debating society at ten o'clock in the evening.
In the basement is Commanche, the only survivor of the Custer massacre. A noble horse he was and now stands as if ready for the bugle call. There are the seals and sea lions, the bears, the buffaloes, et al. Birds there are of every size and shade of color—from the sand hill crane to the humming bird.
It is the Museum, where the results of years of work are collected. Birds and animals of every land are gathered there. Moreover there are the animals of other ages—dinosauris, triceratops, and even "Jimmy," the baby triceratops.
These collections have been prominent in exhibitions such as the World's Fair at Chicago. Perhaps it would pay you to climb the steps of this building some time before your departure from Mt. Oread and see the wonders of the Museum.
To have packed the house for the Music Festival, the press agent should have had the clergymen of the city condemn the "Dance of the Hours" from "La Gloconda."
TRADITIONS
At least once a week someone bobs up with a demand that we shall have more traditions at the University of Kansas. Usually the person making the demand has some tradition already for instantaneous use which he modestly suggests should at once be made an integral part of the student life. These traditions vary all the way from compelling all freshmen part their hair in the middle to having each graduating class erect a
building on the campus or play Run Sheep Run in their caps and gowns on commencement day.
Traditions are much like the ivy which beautifies many college buildings—they have very small beginnings and grow to respectable proportions only with time and favorable conditions. A tradition cannot be built up in one year, and those who try to impose ready-made traditions on the student body are apt to find them discarded because they are too skimpy across the shoulders, do not hang right, and are a poor fit all round.
When we get ready for the right sort of traditions we will find that we have them in abundance. Across the campus wound -the California trail, over which the pioneers passed in the westward march of empire. From the windows of our class rooms we can look down over the town where, as famous men have expressed it, "the Civil war started." The men who were instrumental in founding this university were the men who had battled to make Kansas free territory and who had sacrificed to keep the Union intact.
In the history of the University of Kansas, in the locality where it is placed, and in the lives of the men who have made it what it is, we can find material for traditions which are as rich and inspiring as any student could wish.
Another easy way to win athletic honor is to play in a hand ball tournament.
Bug early. Just 23. College days more.
The W. S. G. A. now has $6,000 in its dormitory fund. Some means of spending this money at once should be devised.
As a general rule only a very exceptional man looks as handsome as his photographs.
POSITION OR JOB—WHICH
POSITION OR JOB—WHICH College men no longer ask for a position when they start to work. Positions are held by men in the industrial world who have made a success of their jobs. The modern college man is no longer the loudly dressed young man who walks into the president's office, nonchallantly slaps the "old man" on the back and tells him that he is there to reform the business on modern lines.
We all know that college is the preparation for the "big things" in life. It is in the college that a man gets a training in work and a training in the ability to meet people which should prove invaluable to him afterward. Now-a-days the college man spends his time in the summer either in working or in carefully looking over the field to see just where to apply his talents to help you succeed. You will plan ahead for three or four years and so at the end of his college course he is generally placed and ready to go to work at a job. This procedure is especially true of the men who are graduating each year from the professional schools.
A job is an embryo position. A good live man can make a job into a position—with a lot of work. It is in the job that the man learns about the line of work he is following. The job requires a partnership and has learned enough to be trusted with some authority then he is given a position.
What does it take to get a job?
A very recent case may be used to show one of the qualities that it takes. One of the older men on the Glee Club trip returned with a contract in his pocket to be the principal of a high school at Williams, Arizona. He heard that the town wanted a new man for principal for next year. When the club stopped there he went to the school board and asked for the job. He got it. He had the assurance in his own ability and what he had to say to the school board. Then the man for the place. It is a job that he got for the reason that the high school is small and the town is small but growing. He will have to work hard to perfect the courses and the methods of teaching to make a success. But he will make a success because he realizes that he has a job and not a position.

THE OREAD ORACLE
Oread Oracle:
I am a senior and expect to graduate in June. I am greatly perplexed as to what to wear under my jacket, and when what is right. Can you advise me?
Many seniors have practically nothing at all under their caps. In many colleges pajamas are rapidly taking the place of the old-fashioned gown. Merely because you expect to graduate is no sure sign that you are going to wear a cap and gown. Several seniors expected to graduate last year, and lo, they are still in our midst.
P. B. K.
You do not state your sex. If you are a man, it might be well to wear a coat of mail. If not, any simple costume of Skinner's satin will keep you cool. A wreath of roses or a ring might be added for local color. As no one ever pays any attention to the graduating class anyway, you are probably unduly alarming yourself. Oracle is somewhat surprised that Phi Beta Kappa should ask such a simple question.
Personally, we wear heavy burlap only under our gowns, but even Oracle is not always a safe guide.

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.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I would like to call attention to the cartoon in Tuesday's issue of the Daily Kansan. It is a headache in four acts regarding the exposition. The first act consists of a boy in the act of juicing a cow. Now that is all right; but as long as I have lived I have never seen anybody milk a cow, goat, or anything from the left side.
Boys that grow up in the city think they know a lot, but now and then a bonehead of the type mentioned above brings to light the fact that the "green country jake" knows the most after all.
I am not saying anything against your cartoonist—he did the best he knew how. He simply pulled off a knife and screwed it, he knows nothing about the farm.
Pop-Alright, Willie, what is it? Willie—Do they make airships go with flywheels?—Siren.
THE SAD, SAD GRIND OF OUR COLLEGE LIFE
Charlie Henpeck (aged 19)—Father, that girl over there is trying to flirt with me. What shall I do?

Father H—Run for your life, son—run for your life! That's the way I met my mother!—Chaparral.
