"It's a dog's life," mused the student as he tore his gase from his term report and saw Rover tilt to the family clothes line.
"Hub, can't make me feel bad," said one student as he paid his two cents murax on his laundry parcel post. "Dad's a mail carrier."
Headline: Hindenburg Faces a Quiz. Huh, is that all?
The hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the tiring of the "shot heart round the world" came at a time when the feat could literally be as accomplished—if enough people happened to be tuned in.
An English baronet, Sir Broderick Hartwell, is reported to have lost his fortune and the sympathy of his people in an unsuccessful amusing syndicate. Only our aversion to the lowest form of wit keeps us from wondering. "How he is baronet?"
A FAITHFUL SERVANT
Munn vs. Illinois may mean n lot to a political science professor, but Munn vs. Zhoyzako is more intelligible to the majority of the students.
A FATHFUL SERVANT
Honey Wilson is down and out that imimitable old colored man who had been in lawrence since the early days of his career. His eighty old years have showed his pace and bent his back until he can hardly hobble about. Of course the same spirit that he displayed for years as he cheered the K. U. teams before they went into battle will not admit that he has come upon evil days. But his hopefulness in pathetic.
The warmth of spring got in his bones one day hat week and he hobbled down to the stadium—which is McCook Field to him—and asked if there was a "beeet something I can do." From a business point of view there was but one thing to do—to send him away. And yet when he hobbled among the workmen there and hinted that the boys on the hill often gave him nickles and dimes a pang of sorrow went through the younger men. Here was a man who has served the citizens of Lawrence since he gained his freedom by the Emancipation Proclamation, and ye he has his choice of begging for living or going to the County Farm
There is something about the idea of "poor farm" that we revolt against. To go there means to many people an admission that they have failed. But surely Honey has not failed. He has worked hard for nearly seventy years and if anyone deserves a home of his on to the end of life it is the man who has performed faithfully with his hands work that many of us would find distasteful.
Only an old broken down man, you say; nothing to get sentimental over. Perhapa not, and yet his case shows how much this country needs some sort of old age pension or an insurance plan that does not favor so much of charity.
What has religion to do with life?
For a long time it has been held as an activity apart from real living, in a separate sphere of its own.
Modern youth is rather frankly abandoning that sort of religion. More
lift conservatives, stickers for farm, lift up their hands in shocked surprise, shake their heads, and fierely assert that the younger set is "giving traight to the devil."
Religious leaders of today on American university and college campuses are interpreting religion as a part of every phase and activity in life; a determiner of our social attitudes, economic activities;
Religion as an intimate and inseparable factor in our everyday experience, is the idea behind the Christian associations on our campus. It is the idea which will be expanded by Kirby Page, student and author, in his discussions here this week.
But how does the Lawrence police department stand? Wag far three officials are extremely low. Moreover, each patrolman in the city must have in his territory approximately 1500 persons, while in many other Kansas towns of comparative size there is one patrolman for each nine to twelve hundred persons.
Lawrence has a fine fire department—shining, efficient equipment, well manned, ready for service on a moments notice. The city can well be proud of this division of public service. It ranks well with similar departments in other cities of the sizeame.
Now that old King Tut is a back number, cross word puzzles are out of date, now that Sally has been found, we are getting into a receptive mood for the next contagium conjunction.
A CONTRAST
With the force already small, the men find themselves carrying heavier duties when one or more is disabled. Often it is necessary for them to put in more than their regular 12-hour day. Their salaries, ranging from $90 to $110 hardly justify each additional duties.
Lawrence is a good town, to be sure. Most of her city departments are well developed, and the stands high among the second class cities of Kansas. She should bring her police department, not up to the average, but bachet it.
Campus Opinion
--ever present and probably always shall be but the mere fact that they are mentioned from time to time will this cause them to lose this campion and other University and college camps throughout the country, in less proclosing and more action. Students at a whole are tired of being required to demand something concrete, and, as they are the ones who have to stand the brief of the criticism, it is right that they should be mentioned at the criterion they are setting now.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Of all the things the biggest is the idea that we are getting the training of thinkers here at the University Undoubtedly it is the same as most of our students learning how to play a game. We get the tecikine of learning the contents of a text book. We write papers by formula. In short, we are adapting ourselves to one single environment—the University curriculum.
What we need is independence in thinking. Let's tackle problems to problems, not as problems for a course requirement. There is too broad a chaam between our life and thinking inside the classroom and our classroom outside the classroom. The proof of the pudding will be found in the eating. Are the ideas of the lecture and text book found in the dinner table conversation? How much reading other tana the prescribed do we indulge in?
Sometimes it is to be be wondered if the casual observer in the student body—that much abused and sometimes neglected unit of our University life—isn't entitled to ask, "How much of some of our faculty members. We mean those members of that body who stand, or sit, before us day after day and work themselves up into a red-hot of righteous indignation over the way students refuse to take them seriously, and the problems around them seriously.
Editor Daily Kansan;
There is scarcely a student who has survived his freshman year who has not come into contact with this type of faculty member, or who has sat in the classroom for a professor or instructor lament concerning the evils of the present day and generation. Also there is scarcely a student who has ever seen one of these "chronic lamenters" stairway from the classroom to community presented itself. They have heard long harangues concerning the evil of student politics, social life, and lack of interest, but they have never witnessed that invigorating culture that challenges them to point the way and get on the wagon when the movement started.
There has been cough said about the wrong methods and evils of the student body. Of course they are

K. U. FORUM:
Students at the University of Minnesota plan to hold the senior prom in the capital building this year.
One Observer.
Students would like to see on their faculties men who would say less and do more. When a political party of social organization makes an honest effort to change for the better it would like to see the family get closer to the school, and further the "much needed reform" that is heard of so much in the classroom but never backed up in practice by those who are paid to guide us.
At the Concert
By Carl D. Coffelt.
An appreciative audience filled the main auditorium of the First Christian church Sunday evening when Lee Seffert Greene in an inaugural organ recital formally presented the new church organ to the palin, Greene was assisted by Jude Doevoll, a soprano; and Daniel Arndey played the violin violi- in "The Lord is My Light" my Allison.
The program opened with the first movement from the "Concerto Griegiano" by Tom. The Italian composer had used what is known as the "Grieg Tone," a simple melody employed in the services of the early church. The Enchanted Forest, 1849, and March of the Gnoises in "Eairyland," by Broughton presented a wide variety of tone color. Mr. Greene gave excellent music, harmonies, consonance and dissonance, of more hard and minor, of open and close harb
mony. He brought out delicate contrasts of harmonic color which enriched the melody and gave delightful vivacious and gorgeously colored cordes.
Jard-Salter, "Allegroto from the Fourth Sonata" by Mendelssohn, and "Southern Fantasy" by Hawk, made up the third group. Southern Fantasy was much enjoyed by the audience and many fans. This southern tunes. The final group made up from the "Modern Suite," by Ferrata. The four pieces, Prelude, Romance, Scherzo, and Finale, are written in modern style. The composer, an Italian by birth an American by adoption, in the leading roles of the piano. It had not been heard before in Lawrence. It was enthrastically received by the audience.
Plain Tales From the Hill
--they do not know about convocation but spend that hour secreting for their class. We have seen a few, just a few of these, who are not freakens.
One cannot help but wonder what would become the University if victims of spring fever were quarantined.
We find occational evidences that some students are attending the University solely for an education. Such evidences arise from students who do not attend classes or are not attend classes by the whistle or are so intent upon their studies that

Talk about scandal—I girl came on the HII yesterday—well she must have thought that she was practicing kidnapping. These painted hoses are terrible.
Statistics gathered by a senior man prove that a large number of women on the Hill do not care to help. He knows he has taken them.
The Colorado College paper paper believes that in the days of long alders every girl had an even chance. But when it comes to wind, the wind swept brow of Mt. Orland.
Along the line, it has been suggested that we speak of a boat as "sile" because it makes a better showing in the wind.
