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 brave; to learn more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

There are greater things to be done in the future than in the past. — Adams
There is plenty of steam back of the Exposition since the railroads are for it.
To those members of the faculty who find golf too strenuous, we earnestly commend croquet and checkers.
"IT'S ALL RIGHT."
Kansas need not feel at all ashamed of the relay team in merely tieing for first place at the great relay races at Des Moines on Saturday. As but six men could be entered in the meet, it was not to be expected that one team would capture all the firsts, and in the two events in which Kansas was entered the men did fairly well—fairly well.
Most of the big universities of the central west were represented and our old-time rivals were entered. In the two-mile relay Kansas won by a margin of merely fifty yards, and in the mile finished a close second to Chicaro, in record time.
Some time when we all get together it might be well to give a "What's the matter with the relay team?" and the answer will certainly be, "It is, it is all right."
Will the gate receipts at this hand ball tournament which has been hanging on so long, be pro-rated among the players?
Does this "probability curve" which the mathematicians are discussing have anything to do with baseball?
STUDENT UNION AGAIN
From the expressions which have greeted the movement for a Men's Student Union, the men of the University are heartily in favor of such an organization. Many seem to think that it will fill a long-felt aching void, and have indicated their willingness to help in its realization.
The first step toward the building would be the organization of the students who desired such a Union into a corporation, so that business could be legally transacted. Byscriptions and the payment of membership fees for next year, enough could be raised to insure the success of the undertaking and to lease quarters in some building. A thousand dollars paid in this spring would give sufficient financial stability to the Union so that some capitalist would be willing to erect a building, if suitable quarters could not be found elsewhere.
A structure costing not more than ten or fifteen thousand dollars would be adequate for the Union for some time, and would not rent for a sum that would be at all prohibitive. If a new building were erected it is probable that it could be obtained on terms that would allow the Union to own its house in a few years, and this property would form a start for a more ambitious structure on the campus when the old house was outgrown.
A membership of two dollars and a half per year from the students would be sufficient for the maintenance of the Union. With an annual fee as small as this every man in the University should be enrolled, and it would not be many years until the Student Union was one of the strongest factors in our University life.
The freshmen smoke tonight.
Don't! It will stunt your growth.
TO HELP OUR GRADE
A professor requested that we write this Burning Editorial—and wished it made so forcible that it would fairly raze the gymnasium to its foundations. He considers it a Very Live Issue.
This professor went over to the gymnasium Saturday morning to play handball, or take a bath, or indulge in some similar form of exercise. He found the gymnasium locked up so tight that he couldn't force an entrance even with a burglar's jimmy, and at once became a riproaring insurgent. He claims that the gymnasium was put there to be used, and on the face of things his contention looks reasonably sane.
Personally we don't care and hereby waive all responsibility. Since we got our freshman and sophomore gym, credits, we have been so exhausted that climbing the hill or sitting in the bleachers at a game is strenuous enough for us. But this professor seems to be a friend for work and perhaps there are a few students who agree with him.
At any rate we have work under him, and here is a chance to get in good. Perhaps he will raise that "four" to a "three minus."
The Victor Quartet should be a howling success. It has a basso cantante.
The University of London, England, has sent a representative on a wide tour to ascertain where is the best method of conducting chemical research along industrial lines. Did he find it among the older technology schools of the east? He will recommend to the English University, the method of the University of Kansas.
KEEP YOUR EYE ON KANSAS
At the Panama Canal the United States government is completing one of the greatest engineering projects in the history of mankind. To operate the machinery of the locks electric power will be used. We are living in a scientific age in which various parts of the United States are represented at the very forefront. Out of all available experts in the field of engineering, we has honored Kansas by delegating this work to Prof. C. A. Johnson of the state University.
Kansas has always been famous throughout the world for her political alertness, and for her agricultural productiveness. Now she shines before the world for her excellence in the sciences.
He said: "I am convinced that from every point of view the adoption of Dr. Duncan's methods for the promotion of research work in applied science would be a wise and productive policy. After visiting many of the universities of Great Britain and the continent of Canada and the United States, I can say without hesitation that I never found myself in a more stimulating atmosphere of scientific research than in the laboratories of the University of Kansas."

COLLEGE TOPICS
EAST AND WEST
Ohio University now has compulsory baseball for freshmen.
The students at the University of Minnesota will choose their May Queen at the All-University party given by the seniors to the juniors on Gopher day, May 1st.
The freshmen at the University of Columbia in New York were unable to break up the sophomore banquet but one sophomore was kept away from the banquet, being held prisoner by the freshmen.
STUDENT OPINION
The class of journalism at the University of Colorado will edit the University paper for April 28th.
His can't be wrong whose life is in the right—Pope.
I have spent four years at the University and for four years I have longed for a place where all men students could get together—where there would be absolutely no cliques in evidence.
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.
Disgusted.
The professors at Cornell University are now getting on an average of $248 more than professors got five years before at the same University.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Attempts have been made to obtain such a place but the plans involved too much money and could not be carried through. Now you propose to lease some suitable place. This could be done at a reasonable cost and I believe that the results would be surprising.
I am only a freshman, but I can kick as hard as anyone else. Why won't they let us into the stacks of Spooner Library? I have enough common sense to go and get a meably little book when I want it. Freshmen above all others should be allowed the free use of this library, because their enthusiasm for work has not yet worn off, and they are thirsty for knowledge. They must madly study and ask some else who doesn't know half as much as I do to get me book one need. If we raise enough objections, can't we hope some day to tear down the haughty standard of the oppressor and get into those stacks, as we have a right to do?
Our school is one of the most democratic in the United States but a common meeting place would be another. We need a students' building.
The state senate unanimously granted $375,000 appropriation to Michigan University for the erection of a new science building.
Life saving has been added as a part of the course in swimming at Columbia University.

A Short Talk on Low Shoe Comfort---
If you are going to get a new pair of Oxfords or Pumps soon, make sure of comfort, or your week ends the days following and your vacation will be spoiled.
We insure shoe comfort by having the shoes we sell made to our order according to rigid specifications as to leather and workmanship.
Of course, all the new "English" styles are here and we're glad to show them.
