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 encourage students to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

If I take care of my character

self—Moody.
Do you suppose that those Chinese students are as efficient at other things as at baseball?
--and extend the cleaning-up period for two or three days afterwards. Thus each such event disorganizes the work of the gymnasium—on both floors—for the better part of a week.
We rise to inquire what chemical it is that makes the Chemistry building smell like a limbinger cheese.
A COLLEGE DAY?
The School of Engineering has its "Engineers' Day;" the School of Law has its "Uncle Jimmy Day" and its "Law Scrimm;" the College has—nothing, as far as a day set aside as its own is concerned.
With one-half the enrollment on the whole University why should the College not be able to create the same spirit that the Laws and the Engineers have. The men of professional schools look forward from year to year to their "day" as one of the best elements of their life on Mt. Oread.
Is there no talent in the College? Are the men and women here merely for the purpose of absorbing knowledge and watching the other schools develop their characteristic "stunts"?
Feeble attempts have been made to organize the College and dusty records show that offices and officers really exist. But of what use? The very condition which has been considered a hindrance to organization—the fact that the enrollment is made up of half men and half women—should rather be an advantage. A determined effort would bring about an effective organization. When this is accomplished there should be little trouble in developing plans for a "College Day."
Mount Oread is advertised as the "coolest spot in Kansas." Just as if that meant anything.
EFFICIENCY NEEDED
The coaches and instructors at the gymnasium are not wildly enthusiastic about the use of that building for dances and other student entertainments. This lack of enthusiasm comes not from an inborn grouch but from a feeling that they are seriously imposed on by such affairs.
When a play, or a smoker, or a Prom, or a Hop is to be staged, the committees which have charge of the arrangements usually begin their work three or four days beforehand
If this happens during the winter months when the teams are using the gymnasium for training and practices, the coaches tear their hair and rave over the damage which is done to their hopes; while at the best the work of the physical training department is seriously disarranged.
Manager Hamilton says that they can prepare the gymnasium for a basket-ball game after six o'clock of the evening on which it comes and that if necessary they could put up a few streamers and decorations, too. Taking several days for such a task merely indicates inefficient management and waste of energy.
The gymnasium was built primarily for the use of the students, but the use of the building by one student activity should be managed in such a manner as to cause the least inconvenience to other activities, and this has not been done in the past.
If many more teachers leave, those students in the School of Education won't have very far to go to get jobs.
A CO-OPERATIVE BOOKSTORE
With the campus aroused to unified demand for the co-operative bookstore, extreme interest attaches to the even fragmentary reports which we are able to glean from time to time relative to the working of the co-operative idea at other colleges and universities. At several times during the past we have seen news items relative to the success of the "co-ops" elsewhere, and several items along this line have received publicity in these columns. For instance, we commented some time ago upon the fact that the Yale Co-operative Store had been able to distribute to the students dividends on gross annual sales amounting to approximately $99,000.
Notes of interest have also reached us about the stores at Cornell, Princeton, Harvard, the University of Washington, and several other institutions. Each of these has added its quota to form the impression that Columbia is a store as a living Columbia issue And, withal, our desire to see a cooperative store permanently established here has not wavered.
The latest contribution to the literature on this subject is an article published in the daily of the University of California, describing the working of the system at that institution. The "Co-op" as established there seems to be an unqualified success. It differs in one unimportant respect from the other stores mentioned. At Berkley not only are the clerks but the manager is also a student. He is elected at about this time of year from the junior class and nominations are made by the student board and other positions are here.
On first thought this seems like an admirable extension of the field of extra-curricular activities, but we very much doubt whether a student could devote sufficient time to the organization. We would amend this idea to the suggestion that the manager be elected in precisely the same manner from the senior class to hold the position for his first graduate year. This would ensure a manager in sympathy with the student viewpoint, possessing intimate knowledge of the campus, and also sufficient time to handle the proposition properly. Incidentally it would furnish one man in each senior class with an excellent position upon graduation. In it he would be able to probe his ability and thereby lay in a capital stock of business reputation—Columbia Spectator.

Editor Daily Kansan:
I wish to ask Your Majesty a few questions which are of importance to me. If you consider me impartient kindly refer this to the Oread Oracle. I know she will feel sympathy for me.
Is it essential or even best to have any object or any reason when you set out to organize fraternities, sorories, and societies on Mt. Oread?
How often does the average professor buy new scales to replace those worn out in weighing numerous note books?
What was the gymnasium built for? Is it Hops, etc. or for the good of the physical man?
Are the *stacks*'s in the library closed at six o'clock in the evening and at moon on Saturday in order to keep them out of their health by too much study?
Why are some of these courses?
Some of these professors?
Were the Engineers afraid to capture a College freshman or have their judgement improved since last year?
