If you are upright, and without gaze—you pray to for pardon? —From the Chinese.
A PARENTS' DAY.
In the spring of the year a day has been set apart in honor of the dearest friend of mankind, the mother. On that day mother is honored not by one or two, or by a group, or by a state, but by the entire nation.
Which is one of the noblest traits that the United States people as a nation ever have shown.
But why not the students of the University of Kansas broaden out and institute a day for both fathers and mothers. It has been tried at other institutions with great success.
In a few years it would become one of Kannas's most treasured traditions, would this idea of parental visits on a day set apart just for that. It seems to the Daily Kansan that mother would enjoy it more if father could also be in on the fun. And there are, no doubt, just as many fathers who are proud of sons and daughters who are attending the University as there are mothers.
If the idea of a day of parental visitation is favorable to a majority of the students, the Daily Kansan stands ready to do all possible to push the idea to a successful working out.
Such an arrangement would take nothing from National Mother's Day, and would show that the students have thoughts of home and that they are proud enough of K. U. to want their parents to see her progress year by year.
The opportunity of hearing the Marine Band is a rare one for the students. And it is expected that when the band has finished playing the students will agree generally that it was well done.
Now that the faculty shows a desire to pick football teams, they may expect to be challenged by a student team, either just before or just after the first general quizzes.
THE ROOT OF THE TROUBLE While the students, the athletic association and the manager of athletics are busily engaged in explaining their respective positions on the subject of the seat arrangements for the Missouri game it might be well to pause and consider what is the cause of all this bickering and misunderstanding. Why do the students feel that they are being treated unfairly and why is the athletic management powerless to return to for mer conditions.
The answer is a familiar one—money. Purists and theorists can talk until the millennium about removing the taint of commercialism from our college athletics, but the fact remains that it takes money to keep the game going. The theorists are unexcelled in planning how to manage affairs of which they have only a passing knowledge, but are strangely inactive when it comes to thinking out practical schemes to make up the deficiencies caused by the application of their pet ideas.
The present controversy over th
reserved seats and the extra charge for them is the result of making the students pay the money that was formerly received from outsiders for the privilege of seeing the greatest athletic contest in the Missouri Valley. The theorists have succeeded in seeing their ideas put into practice and the students are going down into their pockets in order that they may enjoy the spectacle.
Athletes must have money in order to exist and the students are appearing with great success in the role of the goat.
The athletic management can not be blamed for the present conditions. It is powerless to do otherwise than the way it is doing. The teams must be equipped adequately and all other expenses attendant to athletics must be paid. We must look farther back for the cause.
Why is it then that that we now pay five dollars for a student enterprise ticket and see one conference football game during the season whereas formerly we paid two or three dollars for a ticket and saw at least two conference games with no extra fee for reserved seats? The answer is that the difference between the receipts from the Missouri game last year and those the year before was just $22,000.
This meant a loss to each school of $11,000, which had to be made up in some way. We are helping to make it up now.
As a result of the taking of the game from Kansas City we are paying more for student enterprise tickets, more for reserved seats and have the privilege of seeing the greatest game in this section of the country once every two years instead of every year.
We also have a chance to buy tickets for our friends and relatives and entertain them while they are here. This is another great reduction in the expense of seeing the game.
"Aggie Rooters Coming," says a headline. Students are requested not to take this go literally.
"Inferior Extracts Jeopardize Health," according to a headline. It seems that the manufacturers often hand us a lemon when we go*to buy the standard lemon extract.
THE UNIVERSITY PAPER
"In colleges and universities o day the college paper is the one institution which cannot be killed. It may be on the verge of bankruptcy, its promoters may be expelled from school, and the editor may have to run to preserve his life, and yet the old paper still comes out on time. The students may not subscribe for it. The advertiser may refuse to give longer, and the paper may be the object of universal ridicule, but there is always some fellow who will work all night, flunk in classes and give his last cent to keep the paper alive.
"Some times the college paper is even in good repute. Its poetry is endured for a season with no show of violence, its swollen ideas concerning its own importance are charitably received, and its stories of big athletic prospects, increased enrollments, and brain faculties are received for the truth.
"Perhaps the reason for longevity of the college paper is that it has acquired the habit of boosting everything that could withstand a boost. If there are only five faculty members and fifty students at the president's reception, the paper will write of a great throng of happy guests and when the university is defeated in every game, there is no athlete who is not referred to as worthy of a place on the all-star aggregations.
"Whatever may become of the college paper of future years, even though it continues to rustle its pages in the faces of many non-subjects, I still think Mr. wiger until all things collegiate pass away." -Columbia Spectator.

Ceremony keeps up all things; 'tie like a penny glass to a rich spirit, or some excellent water; without it, the water would be split, the spirit lost.
FORMS AND CEREMONIES.
There were some mathematicians that could withhold, fetch the ball and then exact it across and with the next touch point out the center. Is it therefore reasonable to banish them?

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
Tell me not, sweet, I am unkind,
That from the nunnery
Of thy chaste breast and quiet mine
LUCASTA
Of thy chaste breast and quiet min
to war and arms I fly.
True, a new mistress, now I chase,
The first foe in the field;
And with a stronger faith embrace
A sword, a horse, a shield.
Yet this inconstance is such
As you, too, shall adore;
I could not love thee, dear, so much.
Loved I not more, poorer,
—Richard Lovelace.
THROUGH OTHER EYES
The Purdue Exponent in a recent issue prints the following under the caption, "Mercenary, Aren't They?" "The University Daily Kansan prints the following bit of information;
"To be recognized by the Student Council, all petitions for class officers must be accompanied by fifty cents."
On the face of it, this would appear to be putting the opportunity for class offices on a financial basis, and making a discrimination in favor of the money candidates. Either that, or the Student Council is in need of funds, and sees an opportunity of amending all students having politically ambitious tendencies. The next step in order to help him, the inaugurating of a system of publishing campaign expenses—at so much per inch—before a man can be declared lawfully elected."
The Exponent neglected to suggest that we charge the election expenses to the candidates and make even more money.
WE THINK SO. TOO
Two perfectly charming young men from the Freshman class came around to the office the other day and announced that they were coming out for the Tiger. The whole board immediately gathered around them and offered to pay for the drinks. It isn't often that two whole Drinkmen come out for the Tiger simultaneously; usually the Tiger has to go out for them, and it fairly warned the cockles of our heart to see that merry crowd of two candidates flocking to them meant business. All the foregoing being sparkling evidence that the Freshmen not responded to the Tiger's call for volunteers with the bubbling enthusiasm that one expects from all good and moral Freshmen. Come and be editors, dear entering man! Just think what it means to be able to wander in and write a letter to your lady fair on the office typewriter most any old time. Oh! it's a devil-may-care life, a joyous and happy existence, this being an editor! An editor is a great and honored man. Always remember how Colonel Henry Waterson's chauffeur was taken out his seat and the Colonel punched through the town in his pumice by an admiring patron. But lest we insisted onto our board under false pretences, let us state that such a thing could never happen to the Tiger board, for two reasons, viz: first, we have no chauffeur, and second, we have no automobile—Princeton Tiger
