The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in the same way it goes to further than merely print the news by standing back and playing no favorites; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be caring; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

THE WEATHER
WE WILL BLAME THE WEATHER
Partly cloudy tonight and showers Tuesday.
When you are looking for a cause for that unearthly sensation that comes with the sunshine May days, called spring fever, why not pick on that universal subject of conversation, that ever-ready friend in time of silence, the weather?
The weather won't object. It is used to being talked about and being blamed for omissions and commissions, especially in the spring and summer. For it is at this time that the common phenomenon of the Middle West, called "worryin' about the state of the weather," takes place. Then it is that the wheat is beginning to stalk and ripen and the corn to shoot up, and there must not be too much rain nor too much hot sun. So it is that then, especially, the weather must be watched.
And the weather, to get even with the wryners, has a way of tearing them. It often keeps them in suspense and agony while it prepares to do what they wish it not to do, and then reverses its tactics and turns out the way they hoped. This is theweather's gentle but effective means of discipline.
In the matter of spring fever, however, this perversity of the weather is not so important. The fever seemingly increases even in the weather's off moments. This is greater proof of the blameworthiness of atmospheric conditions.
Of course most of us already lay the blame at the right door. We say, "fan't this weather awful? It's sure given me the spring fever." But we are not severe enough. We should place all the blame on the weather. As, according to some scientists, love is caused by one germ and spring fever by another similar one, and both are most active in the spring, we can justly censure the weather for both of them.
Now is the time when the land lady's children are beginning to count the days until school is out.
THE UNINFORMED MOB
More University students are guilty of the sins of omission than any other one thing. They failed to attend convocation because they did not know there was going to be one; they refusu to get out to vote on the honor system because they don't understand it; and they give up studying for the next day's class because they were not there the last time and do not have
the assignment!
Students fail to show up for rehearsals and practices and then offer the flimsy alibi that they missed the notice—they are late to meetings and inconvenience any number of their associates, and their only apology is "Oh, was it supposed to be at four? I thought all the time it was fourth-thirty."
Clubs and the various organizations should have the notices in the daily paper read each night between courses at dinner, if there is no other way to get the attention of students. And each organization could create the position of intelligence officer to a good advantage. Some person who is informed on different subjects of general interest should explain them to each group, to avoid the orgy of supposition and hearsay on everything that comes up.
If University students will not keep themselves posted, violent means should be taken to announce things they should know to them.
Does spring fever harmonize well with stiff necks made stiff by craning after balloons and airplanes?
WHAT THE ARMY DID
Bill the vet is a changed man.
He used to grumble at having to mow the lawn. He used to fall hungrily upon the pies that mother made.
He used to spank his small brother for injudicious remarks about the picture in the back of his watch. He used to sing lustily in the bath tub and whistle while he brushed his hair. He used to slam the door and bang the furniture around. And he used to smoke cigarettes.
But since the war is over and he is back home again, he is a different man. To be sure, he still grumbles about mowing the lawn. He still delights in pie. He continues to mistreat the furniture and the small brother alike, and he sings just as lustily as ever while he dresses. Also he still smokes cigarettes. But in spite of all this, he is changed.
He smokes more cigarettes.
IT'S SOME STICKER
Several members of the Senate have let it out that the Senate doesn't think that seventy-five per cent of the students will vote on the honor system or anything else, so they are not worrying about having student government started in the University of Kansas.
Wouldn't it be a good joke on that austere body if the student body did wake up and take advantage of this chance at student government regardless of the 75 per cent sticker that Senate members put in when they accepted the plan?
OPPORTUNITY
There are countless examples of just such men—men who have started on a very small scale, and who today are acknowledged the leaders of industry. They have made a difference in chance here and there. They are the men who have tried. Many of them have admitted that their first effort was not always the one that made them successful; but, like the small ones, they were covers, "they tried and tried again."
"On a small side street in Chicago," says our contemporary, the Michigan Daily, "was a little store bearing the sign J. W. Armour & Co." That was only a few years ago. Today every acre of ground for many, many blocks belongs to the same man who owned that title. He was also known but in practically every principality of the United States and many cities abroad, stores, land and labor are controlled by J. W. Armour & Co. Evidently Mr. Armour did not sit calmly in his small office and idly watch the crowd surge by. Neither did he spend the day reading the newspaper. Instead, he worked with one of his brothers, a local opportunity knocked; she would be admitted and helped carefully.
A trial rarely hurts anyone, for if nothing else be gained save experience, the effort has not been in vain. Experience gained in one situation invariably teaches us how to act in another.
Now that Cap and Gown Day draws near, thousands of fields of endeavor open up before the graduate. Will he go out fearlessly to greet opportunity or will he shirkingly wait, perhaps too long for opportunity to come to him? Opportunity comes only to those who, in our best college slang, are willing to give her a good rush.-Michigan Daily:
Of course she was not ready and you had to walk up the aisle all by yourselves, while the organ played something or other soft and low, so that every step you made sounded like an elephant at the circus. And, of course, just as you got to port, she dropped her rouge box and you and the usher humped heads trying to pick it up and somebody giggled. It was the little angel child next door making a telescope out of his Sunday School paper, and pointing you out to his father and mother and all the rest of the congregation.
SHE TAKES YOU TO CHURCH
And then, just as you sat down, everybody got up to sing the benediction or the doxology, or whatever it is. You hated to do it, but you had to throw your hat down and stand with the rest of them. Things went along all right until the deacons went up to get the contribution plates and you remembered you left your loose change in your other clothes. You hesitated as to whether you should appear too absorbed in the solo to see the plate when it came around, or choke at the psychological moment so that they would send it on past and not wait for your two bits. When it actually got there you didn't have the nerve to do either, and just let it go by. Then you noticed that she did the same, and you realized she had forgotten her money, too, and you felt enough better to listen to the sermon.
Did you ever let a girl take you to church?
Of course, the worst was yet to come, for as you went out the preacher was at the door shaking hands. You tried to sneak through, but he saw you and yelled out a "“Good morning” at the top of his ministerial voice. You didn't know what to say, and compromised by not saying anything, and merely shaking hands. You had a hazy idea that your girl was referring to the weather, and then you got outdoors and it was all over.
Campus Opinion
Yes, it was a grand and glorious feeling!

Editor Daily Kansan:—
The persons who kicked at the way K.U. athletes were coached and trained during the war and the time following until athletics could come back, should be severely consured for their words. The signation here was but abnormal. The coaches had gone to the serviced and left K.U. to take what it could get in the way of coaching, and then de-scused for the time he gave to K.U. So does Hamilton. They did their best, which is more than the knockers did.
Clark and McCarthy are coming back next fall. A track and basketball coach will be secured. What more can people ask of the Athletic Association? These men are the best in their line and the other coaches, not announced yet, will bolster up the staff.
The people who criticised K.U. during the war for its athletic situation deserve little from K.U. They knocked when knuckling hurt their Alma Mater. Let them knock when things are going smooth. K.U. doesn't need their help them. These men they know help them they boat K.U. spirit. That's lowering it but they can't see it that way. There are a lot of things such men do not see.
Spirit here has a long way to come to get back. However, with the coaching staff and the other men back it seems that we wrote the rest of what when the season opens next fall and the mellow sound of the whistle breaks the stillness on McCook and the thud of the foot and football tells the spectators that the best maternal is on Bong on the knackers between halves they need blanketing.
The University of Wisconsin is planning a union building that will be a memorial to the students who died in the army and navy during the war.
Editor Daily Kansan:-
J. L. W.
Half of any school's spirit lies in the institution traditions. K. U. has many, but they are imperfectly handed down from one class to the other. Few students can tell of the Day Dights or why laws carry canes.
Send The Daily Kansan Home
The opening of a compulsory lecture course for freshmen on the traditions of the University would do much toward establishing school spirit. The material could scarcely be presented in an uninteresting manner, and would do more than any other one thing to arouse an interest in the University in the minds of the new students.
One objection advanced toward the building of a stadium or commons as a memorial is that the students would soon forget that it was a memorial and refer to it simply as "the star being made of the Robinson Gymnasium. The critics assert that few students know whom the gym memorates. This is not due to the students themselves, but to the fact that they have had no opportunity for finding out how to congratulate to ask. The establishment of a course in traditions would remedy such conditions.
