The Daily Karen news to picture the undergraduate life of a university or college, she writes. She reports the news by standing for the ideals that she believes are central to the life of the institution; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to leave home; to attend school; to allure to the heart of the ability to work and study.

Tennis Storm Nears Climax—head line. That will be quite a racquet.
MARK TWAIN
Mark Twain, whose bust was unveiled in the Hall of Fame yesterday, has long been in the hall of fame in the hearts of the American people. Boys and girls as well as old men and women chuckle as they rend the adventures of Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer, and smile over the whimsicalities of "Imnence Abrroad."
He is hailed by many as the most typical American writer. And, however that may be, he is certainly one of the most loved.
The president of Harvard takes on opposite side of the Yale leader on booze. They will probably make it a competitive sport.
"FLUNK INSURANCE"
It is a child of the senior class. Written by a senior, coached by a senior, a cast composed of seniors. "Flink Insurance" is the seniors' play.
The University in sponsoring the play is fulfilling one of its aims—that it, to encourage students to do play-writing and play acting. That is the specific demonstration of the accomplishment desired. Kansas has sent out people who have make a mark along such lines in the world. She has often given them the impetus that bigger work which first took form in miniature adventures on the Hill.
In order that the University may keep up her well established tradition and custom she must have the co-operation and support of the student body. In a number of ways the students can show it. They can talk about the play, can help the busy members of the cast secure properties and finally, can attend the performance of the play on Monday evening next.
The play is not produced to make money for either an organization or an individual. It desires only to be self-supporting, but like a child it is helpless if the students of the University and their friends do not signify sufficient interest to keep the tradition going.
President to attend circus—headline. What next will be done to play politics?
SUNDAYS AND ROMANTI CISM
Those who criticize the attempts of the student generation to find recreation during the Sunday respite from study have themselves been criticized. But never have the counter-critisms taken into account the fact that these critics in striving to clamp the ld on, are really defeating their own aims.
These critics, almost unanimously, bewail the rush of the generation, especially in the institutions of higher learning, towards materialism of the extremist form, attended by the evils which attend the extreme form of any philosophy or idea.
But they do not recognize in the sweating tennis oater, the dusty biker, and the hand-blistened canoe paddler, a seeker of the romance that used to be. They do not see the rebel to the mechanical tendencies that strive to gain control of his thinking, and thus, his life.
Neither do the critics realize that
o intensive is this training that there is little time for recreation on other days than Sunday. When six days of the week are set aside for work the other should certainly be set off for things that are not work. Moreover, the value of one whole day, instead of parts of two or three days, of real freedom of mind from cares and worries, trivial though they may appear to the outsider, is not to be underestimated.
IT'S THE OMEGA NOW
Today it is the Omaha that brings
the frown to one's brow. The time
before the close of school grows
harter. The lines of worry deepen.
But do efforts to complete the school year with a good record increase? Are students expending concentrated hours of study in preparation for a term paper or the final examination? Or are they only talking about it—vasting precious time?
There is too much freeting and too little working until in a mad frenzy students dash through their lessons trusting that the gods will look down favorably on them and let them by with a degree or with fifteen hours of credit to apply on a degree.
WONDER WHAT A HANGMAN THINKS ABOUT?
"A little old man, gray and bowed, today pulled the trigger that shot six men into eternity. His victims were six Italianis, doomed to be hanged by the state of Louisiana for murdering Dallas Calmes, at Independence, La."—K. C. Times.
Wonder what a hungman thinks about, as the men whose lives are declared forfeited by the state are led upon his scaffold?
Does he feel a pang of regret, as men, often in their prime, cry out against death's eternal wrong, and the self-defeating folly of capital punishment, while he adjusts the noose to their necks? Does he recognize a fellow-man, perverted by a false environment, or craved by teachers that are blind to the brotherhood of men?
Or, as others march bravely up to pay the price, does he not see at least a feeble sense of courageous honor, and seeing, silently admire and empathize?
Before his mind, do friends and relatives appear, to pay their allotted share in heartache and disgrace? Or does he go about his ghastly duties mechanically, his mind dazed by the thought that he is a minister if an infallible justice?

LIFE, A QUESTION?
Life? and worth living?
Hurt of us, help of us, hope of us,
heart of us,
Yes, with each part of us-
heart of us. Life is living.
Will of us, brain of us, senses and soul of us
Oh! with the whole of us,
Is life worth living?
Aye, with the best of us,
Heights of us, depths of us—
"life is the test of us!"
