The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be creative; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University's students the stidgata of the University.

THE WEATHER
Fair tonight and Wednesday; no change in temperature.
SELF-DETERMINATION
This is the end of a year different from any other in the history of the University.
But there was never a time when the Rock Chalk failed to rouse.
War and pestilence stepped in to interfere with the regular schedule of the institution. For a time the school was an army camp, then influenza turned the University into an isolation hospital for a time. School did not keep for many weeks, and the members of the S. A. T. C. gained little of educational value during their term of enlistment.
Then came the end of the war and endeavors to bring about a return to normal equable conditions. Much remains to be done in this direction.
The end of the war gave a great impetus to the spirit of liberty. The self-determination of people became a watch-word. But the self-determination of University students is not yet, though realization of the restrictions placed upon the students by the University's governing bodies is now fairly prevalent.
The spirit of democracy is aroused, both in the world at large and in the University of Kansas. The next year will see changes in which the University will have its share.
The agitation for the honor system accomplished something, even though the proposition itself failed to pass. There has been less dishonesty in examinations so far than in any other quiz week, and indications are that there will be less for the entire period. Students have been brought squarely up against the fact that cribbing is decidedly unsportsmanlike.
IT'S ON THE WAY
K. U. has learned its first lesson in the process of acquiring an honor system. The campaign of education should not be allowed to lapse next year, but should be carried on to a successful end. Then the University need not vote on an honor system. Unwritten law will be strong enough.
Accidents in auto racing are more numerous that football accidents it seems. ___
The person who does not believe all he reads does not believe all he writes, in all probabilities. ___
It is very probable that some of the seniors escaped final exams because they were getting A. B.'s rather than A's and B's.
Readable Verse
COMMENCEMENT 1919
The boys are on the Hill again and now/they're here to stay. We must keep them close.
The thirty-fifth and eighty-eighth are back at school today;
And best of all, its June again Commencement at K. U;
The barracks have been salvaged and the khaki put away;
And S.A.T.C. fellows wear civilian clothes today;
And Funston are home again and those from Sill are, too.
And all are back to see us for Commencement at K. U.
The grads of other years are here to reise the good old days.
And things are slipping back again to quite their normal ways, when the weather changes.
to quite their normal ways,
We'll give the Rock Chalk over and
We were singing "Crismon and the Blue"
'or Peace come back to Kansas and Commencement,
Commencement, Brother Allen Brown.
ARE YOU WORTH WHILE?
There is a time in a man's or woman's life when he begins to ask himself if he is worth while to his friends or to the world in general. If he does not begin to question himself and to invoice his character stock, it is so much easier for him to have friends and friends, and incidentally the world in general, will do it for him with varying consequences to him and his entire career.
The failure of many college men and women to attain the goal of their supreme ambition is because they have allowed themselves to follow the lines of the inmate society, never having any ambition beyond that which lies this side of the horizon. Now is the time to cultivate friendships, to learn how to labor for your friends and associates so that you may learn to gain the skills and knowledge needed by the world in which every red blood man or woman aspires to play no ignominious part. Lay aside your snobishness, your selfishness and all of the little petty things that mark the prudish man and woman in a community of friends, your alma mater, and for sheer love of life and work, for work's sake.
Can your friend depend on you and your word to the last ditch, have you a purpose in life beyond attending the next dance or a popular movie, have you an ideal, which though it is so high that you can never hope to accomplish your attainment place your character on a plane above that of other men, are you imbued with the spirit of personal loyalty to the men who believe in you, and do you believe in yourself enough to feel that the whole world is punitive for you. You must conquer and conquer it for yourself? The man or woman can affirm this by his actions is worth while—Perdue Exponent.
Civil Engineer Graduates are Greatly in Demand
All Members of This Year's Class Have Places Before Receiving Diplomas
"The demand for civil engineering graduates this year exceeds the supply," said Prof. C. C. Williams today. "Every senior is placed. Especially are men wanted for highway work. One request for an engineer to go to South America could not be granted because no one was available."
The seniors will be placed as follows: C. K. Mewtews, municipal work, Burns and McDonnell, consulting engineers , Kansas City; Hugh W, Crawford, construction work on the Fort-to-Fort Shawne, Kansas County Engineer, Topeka; O. J. Williams, highway work, William E, Buck and Louis F, Basham, draftsmans, Kansas City Structural Steel Company; Enmund H. Wehmeyer and Myrl Penny, highway construction, G. W. Ellis, consulting engineer, Pratt; Paul A. Diehl, Black and Veat, consulting engineers, Kansas City; Ceill T. Hough, highway construction, Beeley Engineering Company; Heyes Engineering bridge construction, Herrington; Howard and Ash, consulting engineers, Kansas City.
Rex L. Brown has received a fellowship in mechanics, at the University of Illinois next year.
A special exhibit of drawings by students in the department of architectural engineering will be on display in Marvin Hall commencement week. Many of the drawings have won mention in the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design and were considered worthy of exhibition by the Institute in its New York galleries. The display will be made in the corridors of each of the three floors of the Engineering Building.
Architects Will Exhibit Work at Commencement
"Golf is my favorite" Prof. Arthur MacMurray says. At the conclusion of his confession he left for the State Golf Tournament, lying in the State Golf Tournament.
Dean Olin Templin does not follow the course and he says he does not want to learn golf. He is a gardener and a successful one. Every year he wages war on the invaders that succeed in demolishing Professor Riordan and Professor Flint's gardens, and his garden thrives well, producing all his vegetables.
Daddy Haworth does not traverse the links and he is not at all enthusiastic about belonging to the hose squad. His only comment is "i suppose I will have a little garden, I genien't sure we'd need the weeds not cut it."
Golfers and Gardners Are Found on Faculty Of University of Kansas
Contrary to the opinions of many students all profs are not fossils, neither are they grinds who spend all their time pouring over musty volumes of learned writers, or spend their summers in the laboratories for research. Students coverings to spring on the unsuspecting students in the fall.
By far more interesting though is to see how some of the instructors, spend their "off duty." There are actually some sports on the teaching force of K. U. Not sports in the way the word is sometimes interpreted literally—but professors who are interested in sports.
Some of the Supposed Grinds are Really Sportsmen in Disguise
Prof. S. O. Rice doesn't play golf—that is if he does, he won't admit it but he sure likes to raise gardens. "My speciality," Professor Sammy says, "is cut-worms, potato bugs and timpson weeds."
Professor Flint, although not very successful flint and gardening and like it. "My worst fight is with these horns, which fight with horns on them," he says.
"I like to play golf when I don't have a bunch of students tagging around after me trying to hand in late papers or trying to find out if they flunked the last puiz" Profes sar A, J. Boynton said.
Many of the University instructors, including Chancellor Frank Strong went out to the farms with the twilight workers last summer during the harvest. He said that seven of their services instructors will volunteer their services again this year if there is a demand for emergency workers.
Far from that, according to recent data gathered, the faculty is made up of golfers, gardeners, farmers, teachers and even a few—spend their summers and their leisure time idling. Some of them frequent summer resorts, others take to the mountains to quiet their nerves as soon as the last term is over.
Prof. Herman B. Chubb, of the department of history says the golf bug bit him some time ago—and he admits it. More than that, he plays golf every time he has an opportunity to play. During the war he found time to raise a war garden back of his apartment in Washington. "I planted some tomato plants" said Professor Chubb, this morning. "Oh the vines were enormous but they never had any damage." But he just was not well, though, because I would have had to use a step ladder to reach them if there had been any."
Ten Law Graduates to Take State Bar Examinations
Prof. David L. Patterson is a familiar figure on the Country Club links and is entered in the Tournament.
Jimpson Weeds and Horny Bugs are Worst Trials of Professorial Gardening
The examinations begin Monday noon, and are continued until Wednesday noon. Those who will take the examinations are Martin Shearer, William Wertz, Willard Glasse, Enos Hook, Earl Shinny, Floyd Salveson, Karl Noll, William Towers, Paul Holland, and Consulco Krugg.
Not Many go to Resorts
Nine men and one woman, seniors in the School of Law, will go to Tepek Monday. June 12; to take the test in Kauai on Saturday in Kauai. The examination, which is given by the State Bar Examination Board, was scheduled for Monday, June 16, but owing to conflict with examinations put off for a week.
Capt. Willis G. Whitten, e15, at Marysville, the first graduate of the department of architectural engineering and the first assistant in the department, is now in the army of occupation. He is in command of Company E, 6th Regiment, at Coblenz, Germany.
