FRIDAY, APRIL 18, 1913
The Daily Kansan 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 leave noise; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
The one prudence in life is concentration.—Emerson.
TWO WEEKS MORE
The scarcity of candidates may be explained by the fact that about all a person can do these warm days is to go on a slow walk, to say nothing of running for office.
These days are speeding by at such a pace that the average student will experience a shock when he looks at the calendar and discovers that the University Exposition, the greatest publicity and entertainment work the University of Kansas has ever undertaken, will be on in full swing in just two weeks from today.
It is also a reminder that if you are doing any work for the Exposition you can not loaf much on the job, or May 1 will find you unprepared.
Which calls to mind the fact that if you are going to have your parents and friends here for the Exposition you must get extremely busy very soon, unless you have been foresighted and already made your arrangements.
And, in passing, there are just two weeks in which to clean up some of the neglected corners around the campus which might appear particularly unlightly and distressing at a time when the University is supposed to be on dress parade.
Two weeks more in this case means "get busy," on whatever your particular task may be.
The reformers may cause trouble if they discover that there is a pool hall in the Gym. containing a pool fifty feet long.
WHY SO SOLEMN?
Commencement week at the University of Kansas is an occasion the solemnity of which is difficult to describe. It is not a funeral and why, the Daily Kansan asks, should it so much resemble one.
Some might think that this condition would impress upon the young man and young woman the importance of the event. But would an alumnus feel impelled to return year after year to witness such a scene? Were the days made more
enjoyable the senior would still regard them as significant and moreover would feel that to return in future years would keep up his interest and revive his loyalty.
In Eastern schools commencement week is one of festivities, a time when old classmates meet, and talk over former times and experiences. Such conditions form the alumni into a body ready to work for their Alma Mater.
Why so much solemnity?
The frog no doubt has inside information, regarding the whereabouts of the missing snake.
Again the faculty scores! The first straw hat hero is a professor.
The clash for the debating championship will no doubt result in an uproar.
One theory of the catastrophe is that these Chinese ball players are major leaguers in disguise.
WHO WANTS HIM?
The following appeared yesterday in the "Speaking the Public Mind" column of the Kansas City Star. Any co-ed may doubtless obtain the address of this young man by application to the office of that paper.
In last Sunday's Star, were published the specifications of the ideal man, accordin to the composite opinions of the K. U. co-eds. After reading the article I dug up a tape measure and took my various dimensions. Well, girls, I'm your Ideal man, according to the composite opinion weigh 159 pounds, have a 30-inch waist and something else in upper. Heretoreta I had believed I was a human bean pole, but now comes the thrilling news that my panatella shape is the ideal of their dreams.
I am possessed of other splendid qualifications, chief among which are three appetites and a sense of humor. The latter quality ought to make me an ideal husband. I am a devoted husband. K. U. committee of co-eds or single members thereof. Am less than 30, and very modest.

COLLEGE TOPICS
EAST AND WEST
Official records of student were stolen from Washington University. Students whose work was very poor are believed to have committed the leed.
The Leland Stanford basketball team will leave soon for Japan, where they will visit several Japanese universities. The team will first go to Keio University which stands responsible for the finances of the trip.
The paternal system in athletics has been started at Michigan University. Each number of the Varsity track team is required to select a freshman and train him in some event.
Columbia University at New York has received $1,000 from the New York Coffee Roastery Commission, as an annual endowment sum to be used in research in the coffee industry.
The Umpire issued by the University of Oklahoma is considering changing its name to The University Oklahanman. Such a change was considered, as the Annual has changed its name from the Mistletoe to the Sooner.
The School of Journalism at the University of Missouri has decided to have journalism week this spring. Seven Michigan press clubs have already signified intentions of holding meetings this week.
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Daily Kansaan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor.
Let it grow where it will, cannot
nourish alone.
The heart, like a tendril, accustom'd to cling.
But will learn to the nearest and loveliest thing
It can twine with itself, and make closely its own.-Moore.
THE OREAD ORACLE
I have just decided to go to the Sophomore Hop, and have very little time to prepare a costume. Can you suggest something? My hips are rather prominent.
Oread Oracle
Tardv
By raising the waist line the prominence of the hips is offset. Paris courtieries are announcing an unusual number of styles now, but Oracle gives below one of the most simple and decolletes: Over a four-reau built of pink pvole de seo, mounted by a full-length Bulgarian tunic of Chantilly tide, wear a frilled pea-green smocking of raspberry de seo. In case you cannot get a raspberry, take a mull. The waist should be offset by a figured crepe charmeuse, with a high chemisette of indigo cerise. Adorn the skirt with a panner of antique blue vitriol, and for the neck embellish a satin tulle yoke with Picadillah motifs and soutache bolero. If the evening is warm, cut out the kimona and wear an outside Guimep de Directoire, slashing the skint enough to reveal a foundation empiecement of verdi-jaine wool ratine. Over the shoulders fasten a drap 'd'eonge with a pleated plastron.
If you are not a girl wear peg-top trousers and a coat. Shoes are optional, but splinters are easily picked up if bare-footed.
Oracle.
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.
FOR THE ANNUAL PLAN Editor Daily Kansan:
I am one junior who will support the plan for issuing the Jayhawker, and I believe that a good big majority of the class will be for it. The manager has been holding the sack too long, and the class of students to issue an annual that will totally eclipse anything in that line ever put out at Kansas. We surely can dig up as strong for the support of our year book as the Aggies and the students at other colleges.
"Loyal."
In Wednesday's Daily Kansas I noticed an article advocating a Men's Student Union, and I want to express myself as heartily in favor of the idea. A place where the students could meet and have a good time would certainly be a great thing, and would help a lot of us fellows who have no place to get acquainted with the men of the University.
