Address all communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, Lawrence.
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 be brave; to be helpful; to be kind; to be courageous; to cope more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.

THE JAYHAWKER PLAN
The juniors will soon have a chance to express themselves at the ballot box on the new plan for financing the Jayhawker for next year and succeeding years. The members of the class owe it to themselves and to the University to familiarize themselves with the details of the plan that they may cast their votes for the good of all concerned.
The proposal which they are now considering has many merits, and will place the Jayhawk on a firm financial basis that will do credit to the class. That the method followed in the past has been faulty and has imposed the responsibility on a few is so self evident as to require no argument.
The plan is thoroughly practical and the fee will not be so large as to impose a serious financial burden on anyone. It will be collected at the beginning of the year, when the students feel prosperous, and when the parting from the coin will not cause the acute pain that such a separation might involve later in the year. That those who lack sufficient interest in class affairs to support class enterprises should be deprived of the right to participate in the activities of the class is only right.
It is to be trusted that the juniors will give the matter serious consideration and a square deal.
In this May Queen election where forty-eight girls voted, it is a relief to find that the returns did not show one vote for each of the forty-eight candidates.
--to meet someone, took a census of those present and discovered that they numbered just forty-eight. On that day, at least, it seems that a considerable number of the 2538 students and the 167 faculty members were absent.
CHAPEL POPULARITY
For some time there has been a grave suspicion that the attendance at chapel, save on special days, was not all that could be desired. This suspicion is gradually being verified since the University Council has taken cognizance of the matter and is devising means to increase the number and remedy the lack of interest.
One student, who happened to go to chapel one Monday not long ago
With the University scattered as it is, there is no strong probability that means will be devised that will induce an engineer to hasten over from Marvin hall for the fifteen minutes ordinarily devoted to the chapel exercises. Nor are many likely to come from the buildings somewhat closer, unless some miracle is performed in the way of invigorating those fifteen minutes, with enjoyment or profit for them.
On Tuesdays and Fridays when some real feature in the way of a speaker or musician is presented the students overflow the capacity of University hall. That is a refutation of any claim that the students, do not wish to attend chapel. They merely dislike being bored when other occupations are at hand.
The plan for a long chapel twice a week, presented earlier in the year, may be the solution of the trouble.
Visitors in Lawrence are remarking that education at the University of Kansas seems to be somewhat of an uphill proposition.
We predict that when the University motor truck gets stuck half way up the hill with a load of coal it will certainly need its self starter.
CROSS EXAMINATION
(A Stude on the witness stand.)
Q. "Ever write home?"
A. "Sure, every week, if I don't ave too much else —"
Q. "You are advertising the University Exposition, I suppose."
A. "Well yes, I've been using their free stationery with something about it on the back."
Q. "But do you mention the Ex position inside the letter?"
A. "No, I'm writing home not to the whole town and I have more important things to say. There's my check, for ins——"
Q. "Then you are asking your parents to come to Lawrence parents' Day, are you not?"
A. "I don't know when that is."
A. "I don't know when that is."
B. Q. "You mean to say you don't
know that Parents' Day comes during
the exposition."
A. "No I didn't. Say, that's a good hunch. Could you excuse me while I get that letter off?"
(After some argument, the oppos- counsel agreed that the Stude should not be forced to delay writing this important invitation, so the witness was excused for ten minutes and a recess was taken.)
We always buy a Post of the boy on the corner by the Museum, because while he is making change he orgets to yell.
Many of our cares are but a morbid way of looking at our privileges. —Scott.
After all, the joy of success does not equal that which attends the patient working.—Evans.

I hold it true, whatever befall;

'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

POOR SUPPORT FOR TRACK
Editor Daily Kansan:
I want to call the attention of the student body at large to the lack of support given the track team at this University. I think it shows a poor-college spirit. Still we had undoubtedly a fine spirit last fall as was shown by the way the students supported the football team even in defeat, but the attendance at the Inter-Class meet last Saturday shows that the students of this University do not want a track team.
The day was fine, not too cold in the bleachers, and the track was in good shape. Three of the races were won by inches; three records were broken, one of which was made in 1899, one six years ago, and the other two years ago. The world's record. And yet only about one hundred and fifty were out.
This was the first public appearance of the team since the Missouri meet, and this team was the only team that ever beat Missouri indoors. If only for this reason the students should have turned out.
Let us turn a new leaf now. We have a good team, one of the best, if not the best, we ever had. It takes more self denial and hard work to make a track team than it does to make any other team in the University, so let the whole student body get behind the team. It's your team and you have every reason to be proactive. So the Tigers come to McCook Field let us have the Thundering Thousand out in full force, and with their aid we have a good chance to clean up the Valley championship.
