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 print the news by standing for the ideals the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to encourage students to courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University. MONDAY. APRIL 7,1913. Style is the gossamer on which this boat floats through the world—Bancroft. We wonder if the wives of the faculty members are also enthusiastic about the University club. PERFECTLY LADYLIKE ROOTING With the exception of a few students, perhaps freshmen, who found it necessary to express their emotions, the rooting at the ball games Friday and Saturday was so perfectly refined and ladylike that not even the Ladies' Home Journal could find whereat to cavail. Those few who insist on rooting for the University were severely disapproved of by the majority present as was manifested by the frigid silence. It is true that in some critical moments there was some trace of enthusiasm, but on the whole the support from the bleachers was drowned out by the gentle murmur of the members of the team encouraging each other. Football is not the only sport on the map at Kansas. The baseball team this year has the goods, and plays fast, clean and winning ball. They have started the season in a way that gives the fans every reason to expect a string of victories, among which will be numbered a fourth victory this year over Missouri. Perhaps later in the season we may have some cheer-leading and some organized support for the team. The students always appear to enjoy manifesting their enthusiasm at football; and if rooting at baseball games were considered polite it is very likely that the squad would be made to feel that the University was for them. These April winds must have overlooked the new signs on the campus which say that the speed limit on Mt. Oread is 15 miles per hour. "HAM" PEDESTRIANS Added to the prevailing wail against "jay" driving comes a plaint that students of the University are guilty of "jay" walking. The accusation, supported by the evidence of unprejudiced witnesses, is that student fail to observe rules of the road when passing along campus walks or upon entering buildings. For instance, one file of rushing youngsters in a hurry to make the next class, will take the left side of the walk, and thereby disrupt the whole moving throng. The Administration building daily witnesses a miniature rush on the outlines of the Iroquois theater variety. This building, being an outlying objective point, catches the last frantic rush of those hastening to beat the old whistle and its hoarse song. Every entrance to this building is equipped with a double set of doors, well defined and convenient to the right hand, but about half of those passing into the building switch to the left. In the lobby they meet the effux of previous classes headed for the same door, and the two crowds get sadly twisted. The swirl is not unlike the whiscracker line, or the formation whereby the right half goes through left tackle on a cross buck. The effect is decidedly similar, too. There is no reason on earth why the pedestrians cannot keep to the right. It's a simple rule to observe, and the plain, decent, neighborly thing to do. A rural visitor on Mt. Oread for the first time, when he saw the water tower, exclaimed: "My goodness, that's the biggest silo I ever saw." Now that the Prom is over, we may expect to see a number of students retrenching on the cost of high living. ACTIVITIES—WHAT FOR? The function of outside activities in a well-rounded University course consists in the fact that they furnish an opportunity to apply in a measure the knowledge gained from books. The cum laude student who gravely advises you that there is no educational value in debate, football or social life is mistaken. Equally mistaken are those who leave the University more finished in appearance and address than in depth and breadth of knowledge and who usually advise you that there is nothing in grades and that the chief value of college education is the acquaintances you form. The fact is that neither one of these extremes can be pursued as an end in itself. Both are only means to an end. The trouble with the type of education that a grind usually recommends is that it consists too exclusively of the acquisition of bare facts It teaches that the main object of education is to accumulate in the mind a store of data; to make the brain a substitute for an encyclopedia. On the other, advice that one should spend most of his time in school activities, ignores the fact that such activities are at best only sub-struggle for real struggle--the struggle for an existence that comes in after life. The true way to consciously and constructively go for an education is to spend most of your time acquiring facts and the balance of your time applying them to some activity akin to your life work. The object of the right kind of education is to produce a mind that is a spontaneous and adjustable formula for the solution of all human problems. To accomplish this purpose our chief needs are a systematized encyclopedia and a mind that is trained to think—Daily Nebraskan.

The name of the writer must be signed, not necessarily for publication, but as an indication of good faith. A SENIOR, "GET TOGETHER." Editor Daily Kansan: Recently a plan was proposed in the columns of the Daily Kansas whereby the seniors would follow the lead taken by the sophomores and hold a smoker—or maybe a barbecue. Plans, plans, plans! But what is the matter with those who have the power to put plans into execution. We have a set of class officers and I feel that unless there are grave objections to the proposition presented these officers should at least call a meeting to see what can be done. Only eight weeks of school remain for most of us seniors. Then comes examination week, and next commencement week. Before smoking the peace pipe, why not get acquainted with out Mt Owl- oak? WHAT THEY SAY to the CIRCULATION MAN A. B. '13. "Please advise me what your initiation fee is and I will send you a check for the necessary jitneys," says Leo B. Crabbs, treasurer of the Union Bank Note Company at Kansas City. (Diagram: He wanted to resubserve.) Sidney W. Griggs has changed his address from Chariton, Iowa to 1020 D. Street, San Diego, California. Grace A. Hayward is a member of the English faculty at Simpson College, Indianola, Iowa. She writes "I want to know what is happening on Mt. Oredo so I am subscibling for the good news Kansan which I am always eager to read." HE WILL BELIEVE ANYTHING? BURTON P. Sears missed the copy of the Daily Kansan published on St. Patrick's day. In a letter asking for one of these papers he has this comment to make. "When I was in school we were unable to secure holidays on St. Patrick's day so I presume you issued a paper on that date—although only the good Lard knows what is likely to happen at K. U. these days." Charles N. Belcher, who is living at Manistee, Michigan, seems to know one of our new regents well and favorably. "Congratulations to the University in having a man like ex-governor Hoch appointed to the Board of Regents," he says. "A better man could not be found for the place." Those alumni who received blank subscription cards which we sent to some trial subscribers last month, were requested to write a short news note on the back of the blank. In one case the typewriter slipped and our instructions read, "Kindly write news note on back of yourself." W. Perry of Fairbairn, Nebraska received the card and replied with the laconic comment, "hard to do." This speaks for itself: E. A. Blanipied, knows in school as Dolf Blanpipied, once class with the class of 1905, and charter member of P. S. B., is in charge of government repertory work on the Missouri River at Council Bluffs, Iowa. WE THINK SO TOO.

The Minnesota State University is planning to send out a special train to visit a circuit of county fairs next fall. The plan is to send the University Glee Club, the University Dramatic Club, the University Band, a corps of speakers and an exhibit of pure bred live stock. The musical organizations will furnish a class of entertainment that it is very difficult to 'secure for county fairs and the speakers will add materially to the program. A domestic science and hygiene exhibit, with visiting nurses and a boy scout encampment are among the other features planned. The university band consists of sixty pieces, and would in itself be a big attraction. The total cost of a visit is expected to be about $300, which would be paid by the fair association. IN BIOLOGY LABORATORY The University of Vermont Senate has instituted a new course in general science, leading to the degree of bachelor of science. This new course is intended for those who plan to teach the sciences in secondary schools and for those who desire a broad scientific training before entering a technical or professional school. In regard to scientific preparation for strictly professional schools, an arrangement has been made with the Yale Graduate School of Forestry, whereby students may complete the two courses in five instead of six years, finishing the work at the University of Vermont in three years and receiving their B. S. on completion of the first year in the School of Forestry at Yale or any other graduate school of forestry. The university also offers, beginning with the college year of 1913-14, a course in kome economics, leading to the degree of bachelor of science in home economics.
