These little things are great to little man—Goldsmith.
YOU ARE WELCOME
The Daily Kansan in opening up its heart (indeed we have one) enough to permit free advertising by students who need work has but one request to make.
We ask that you make use of the offer whenever you have occasion. If we can help someone get work, or can show the way to a better position, we are more than pleased to do.
This free want ad column is to be run solely on the students' advantage to take advantage of a good thing. There are hundreds of students who need a better position than they now hold. Remember you are welcome to use the Daily Kansan to secure one. Don't be backward.
Strange, that with all the common practical schemes that have been conceived to clear Potter Lake of snow, no one has suggested a wild impossible plan of exerting real work on it. Are there no fanatics in K. U.?
OUR OLDER BROTHERS
That the Graduate School has no representative on the Council Board is a fact that has caused considerable discussion in the past, and one that it is up to the students to decide Tuesday in Chapel.
It is a matter for the students to decide.
Since under the present system the Student Council has no authority over the Graduate School, and since it would probably promote a greater interest in undergraduate affair in graduate circles, there seems to be no really valid reason to hold aloof from our older brothers.
Triceratops may have heard an eight o'clock whistle 2,000,000 years. His advantage was this: he ran away from the whistle, not toward it.
GENERAL INFORMATION
It is often said, and it must be admitted quite truly, that the average college graduate is woefully lacking in general information. It is, nevertheless, equally true that the university of today enforces no such requirement in education, for the very obvious reason that there is no place in our school for students to acquire for any course of this kind. The undergraduate, does not lack opportunities for acquiring a liberal fund of such knowledge, but these opportunities are unfortunately seldom realized until it is too late.
At Princeton, for example, the numerous, visits received from eminent lecturers afford a fair substitute for any hypothetical course in general information—but how many men attend a Trask and how many times the Saxon year only to go away quickly repentant of wasted time.
Trivial or trite, as these remarks
may seem to some, it cannot be denied that the knowledge which might easily be derived from a conscientious attendance at the various public lectures given at Princeton during a four years' sojourn in the University is essential to the man who would be thought educated and cultured. But from present indications, undergraduate taste for this form of entertainment seems to be decided on the wane, for at all of the various addresses made this season the student percentage of the audiences has been unusually small. It is indeed difficult to assign any specific cause to such an increasing lack of interest in public lectures, and for this reason we make no attempt to do so, but hope by the above observations to stimulate undergraduate participation in this highly beneficial method of education.Daily Princetonian.
The meeting of the faculty that was scheduled for yesterday afternoon has been postponed indefinitely. And the funking student wonders if that is good news or bad.
WE WILL STUDY AND REST Beginning Monday, and continuing for one week thereafter the Daily Kansan board will study and rest. The Department of Journalism is going to get out the paper for us. We hesitate to allow the department to do this, but after due consideration the board has decided that the only danger lies in the fact that we may be ashamed to take our old jobs back.
But being made of stern stuff we have consented. Next week you will read news in the Daily Kansan that will be gathered by unfledged, although eager cubs. The profs will direct the gathering, or at least we suppose they will. And for our part we are going to look on and see how it is done. That is, we are going to keep clear of the office and look over these columns in the warmth of our rooms. Pardon, please, we mean in our rooms.
Consequently, if you see something in the paper next week, that seems not seemly to you, be sure and tell us as well as the departmental profs and cubs. The Kansan board will enjoy such little tales.
Meanwhile we extend our best wishes to the department, and hope that when the week of professorial editing and newswriting is done, we may not return to our tasks with the feeling that we can no longer look our fellow students in the eye and acknowledge that we are part of that plodding group that is known generally as the Kansan board.

Down to the haven,
Call your companions,
Launch your vessel,
And created your canvas,

After it, follow it,

Jones-"What's the use? I'm willing to admit it."

The Daily News, the official paper of the University of Wisconsin is credited with having made a record in quick news reporting. On the afternoon on which the Badger eleven played Minnesota the Wisconsin paper had a detailed illustrated account of the game on sale within fifteen minutes of the close of play. The Wisconsin paper was 300 miles away and it is said had issued it's edition before the locals had received the report.
