Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phone - K. U. 25 and 66
The Daily Kanana aims to picture the undergraduate students more clearly at university than before. They are sending the news by standing for the ideas they articulate; to be clear; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to have more serious problems to wiser hones; to all serve to the better of the University.

WE SUPPOSE WE SHOULD
SAV_
They will soon be leaving the portals of K. U. Some six hundred men and women, will, in a few days, be graduated from this institution, infinitely better equipped to struggle with life's buffering problems, than they were before coming here.
Each, let us hope, has caught the full significance of the greater vision which can only be aroused by years of contact with great minds, by hours of walks and talks with men who have given the world a great message through the example of their lives and the words of their mouths.
The college lives of those who will soon be leaving has not been a bed of roses—nor has it been a crown of thorns. There have been hours of hard concentration, hours when the candle of hope burned low, casting a befele light into the impenetrable blackness of despair. There have been hours of sweet oblivion to care and sorrow, lost seemingly forever in the whirl of the dance, in the pleasant conversation with friends, sparkling with wit and humor.
There will be at least the joy of thought of relief from hard study, the pang or regret as boom friends bid each other a bon voyage on the sea of life, perhaps never to meet again.
Some will journey to foreign lands, to blaze through trackless forests the roads which mark the upcoming of civilization and advancement to a savage country. Some will eventually find their way to the great financial centers of the country, and will be caught in the whirlpool of the mad struggle for wealth. And to some will be entrusted the important task of directing the growing mind of the youth of the country to a fuller development of its possibilities.
But whatever may happen in the years to come, whether the winds of fate shall deal kindly or harshly with each human bark that will soon be launch $d$ on the vast and uncertain sets of life, may the spirit of old K. U., the happy memories of friendships formed here be an inspiration for each member of the graduating class to carry on life's battle with a resolute heart.
BUT WE DO SAY-
For the seniors there are just four more school days, and most of the seniors are glad, although they do feel a certain regret when they think of leaving familiar associations of four years of school life. They are glad because they feel that they have finished a job which they started. They are glad because they have finished what they consider preparation for their future.
If any seniors are reluctant to receive their diplomas it is because of the slight nervousness and fear of just how much they are going to make their college education count in their chosen profession or work.
THE OLYMPICS
Next week the Olympic try-outs will be held down at the big stadium in order to choose the men to represent this section in the finals to be held in Harvard stadium in June. What success the West will have toward sending a fair share of its men to France this summer will hinge upon the performance of the athletes here next week.
The Valley schools, including Kansan,
are sending but a very few of
their picked athletes to this meet,
only the best can hope to qualify
Last time Everett Bradley was the only man to represent the Crimson and Blue in the Olympic games. Who it will be this year depends upon the individual performances of the Jayhawker stars at the stadium Saturday.
The Olympic games will draw crowds from all corners of the world. The University of Kansas will send its allotment of spectators. Honeymon couple will sail the briny deep in first class style for the big event and other Yahawkers will punch the festive row across the big lake, but the Olympics will be the gall that urgens them onward they work across on a cattle boat or sail the waffling cloud of the newly wed.
The students of K. U. must support the meet here Thursday and Saturday in the same spirit as they support the meets in which school rivalry enters. We were chosen for the Olympic try-outs of five states because the national committee had confidence in our ability to put a big athletic event across. It is up to us to show them that we can do it.
Now that they are sending photographs by wire, it's promoters pronounce the phony pictures more life-like than ever.
FAME
Yesterday Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford were presented to King Alfonso and Queen Victoria of Spain. Madrid society has been out-doting itself in entertaining the American notables.
A few weeks ago Anton Lang with others of the Passion players returned to his native land, traveling second class. America had not been interested enough in them to make their trip financially successful, and they refused charity.
Is the difference one between American and European hospitality, or is it, more probably, the distinction which is made everywhere between two kinds of fame?
Pansy wants to know if Mr Necker is giving the new library to the University since Spooner is so old fashioned!
BRING BACK
Have you been borrowing on and off all year from friends and roommates? If you have it is about time "to bring back what you have borrowed." Every spring when most students start packing they find that many articles they came to school with in the fall are missing, and yet they have no idea why they are missing or where they went. To be sure every student loses articles, but in case after case they are lost because someone has borrowed them and failed for some reason to return them. Look over your possessions and see if among them you cannot find some which are not yours. For some of them you may have a difficult time finding the owner, but if you inquire about a bit, some one will be grateful for some returned prized belong-
FOUND IN A BOOK
The laws of God, the laws of Man,
He may keep that will and can;
Not I; Let God and man decree
Laws for themselves and not for me;
And if my ways are not as theru
Let them mind their own affairs.
Their deeds *judge* and much con-
demn.
Yet when did I make laws for them?
Please themselves, say I, and they
Need not look the other way.
But no, they will not; they must still
Wrest their neighbor to their will,
And make me dance as they desire
With jail and gallows and hell-fire.
And how am I to face the odds
Of man's bedevilment and God's?
I. a stranger and afraid
In a world I never made.
They will be master, right or wrong
Though both are foolish, both are
And since, my soul, we cannot fly
To Saturn nor Mercury,
we keep must, if keep we can,
These foreign laws of God and man
Lumberjack shirts will distinguish the members of the sophomore class in the future at the University of Southern California.

Campus Opinion
vible waste of men and materials during the war: we see constantly reating cases of suicide, divorce
murder, prostitution, all the problems of future years growing out of the war.
R. E. H.
I am inclined to agree with the writer of *Tuesday night*'s campus opinion when he suggests that the world has gone mad over theory. We are beginning to find out that a workable theory is much more practicable than a practice which has not accomplished its end.
Are not the nations of today a humanitarian, as reasonable as the blood-thirsty reddishs?
Has force been as successful in this mockness? Look at the post war conditions we have in our own country at present not to mention the tee-
the pet ideas of today is that peace can be brought about by becoming meek and lowly. Again he is right and there is much basis for this "pet idea." Whenever this theory has been tried it has worked. In the seventy years while the Quakers were in control in Pennsylvania not a single Quaker was killed. The same redskins went into other states, but burned in the early colonies of New England. In a single day a whole village would be wiped out. Only one Quaker suffered. That one, they heard, had a gun, and they said, "Here is an enemy, cut him down." The Quakers were safe until they entered the state militia, and then they were
Pacifism Versus Peace
The pacifists and the League of Nations both have the same end in view—the stopping of war. But the means employed by each are different.
The pacifist says, "I will let everyone know that if they want to skip my face they can do it at will."
The advocate of organized arbitration says, "I will let everyone know that if they slay my face they must explain to everyone else, and explain why they cannot do the explanation is not satisfactory."
The threat of the latter means will be enough. Nations will not take liberties with other nations if they know that they will immediately retribution of the sick of the world.
Pacifists will say at once that this means the keeping of the world as an armed camp. But this is not true. When the Kaiser attempted to make a man and when England attempted to make English territory out of the

same nation, the threat of a weak American navy was enough to stop both these European powers. How much more effective would be
the threat of the combined nations of the world. And how much less effective would be the threat of a non-resistant world. -G.C.
