The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UC Berkeley in to go further than merely print the news by standing for what he calls "play"; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1919
Now that it is apparent that the University of Kansas actually has a lot of bottled up pep, there is no cheerleader to pull the cork.
Some public-spirited senior should start a fund for deserving seniors who have spent their allowances and haven't the necessary five dollars for a diploma fee.
IF YOU WANT "MAC," SAY SO
The students evidently want a band. The band needs an efficient director to make it a successful organization. The students feel that J. C. McCanales, the present director of the band is efficient and should be retained, although the Senate has accepted his resignation. His tireless efforts to give Kansas a real band should now be recognized by the students.
The Men's Student Council, as the representatives of the students, has taken up the proposition and will determine the student opinion. Petitions will be circulated and all students interested in our band and the welfare of K. U. should sign. A member of the Council attended the band practice Wednesday night and found the entire band had taken a definite stand for their director. They feel that they could not have a better leader.
If the students show that they want to keep their band leader, they will probably be able to do so. It's just up to us to speak up and express ourselves.
Now the rainy weather seems to be at an end, the would-be optimist has all his high hopes punctured by the thought of the near mafeyer time.
READY TO RUN THE WORLD
"Mister Business World! We want a job." With these words 402 pairs of eyes run through the want ad sectons of the papers cagely each day, for some opening where hours of work on the Kansan, or surveys, or books will not have been spent in vain.
Timid girls with great A.B.'s staring them in the face, are sending out letters containing applications for teachers' positions, with the firm assertion, in a rather shaky handwriting, that they are stern, strict and responsible. Men are looking forward for the pituge into the business of life, a dabble into high finance, a job in a bank. Lawyers and doctors are looking forward to that little office with the newly-painted sign-JOHN SMITH, LAWYER-upon it. Engineers are anxiously looking forward to work with big firms. Scions of the Daily Kansan are ready to take over metropolitan newspapers.
Yes, Sir! Mister Business World!
You have 402 more aspirants to the crown of success right from within the walls of the University of Kansas.
LOWERING THE REQUIREMENTS
The fact that many of the other large state universities have lowered their number of required subjects for freshmen and sophomores, is no reason why the University of Kansas should immediately do the same thing. The Senate committee, which is now considering lowering the requirements and giving students an ever greater choice of electives, should weigh the arguments on both sides of the question carefully before arriving at any recommendation.
While many students doubtless are compelled to take subjects which do not interest them and from which they derive no direct and permanent benefit under the present system of filling six groups, at the same time many students are forced to take subjects which they find to be of great value to them, and which they would not have voluntarily chosen, had they been given a greater opportunity for electing courses.
The natural lethargy of the student species is unfortunately great, and if they were permitted to choose practically all of their college courses, in many cases the question of what course would be most beneficial would not be the important one. The number and general severity of quizzes given in a course, the grading system of the instructor, and the number usually flunked, are more likely to be considered than anything else. This state of mind on the part of the student is not highly commendable, but it exists. Many upperclassmen remember how they suffered in mathematics, chemistry, or rhetoric—according to whatever their special aversion were—but very few of them regret having been forced to take these courses. They realize the benefit derived from them, if not directly, at least m mental discipline.
A certain amount of these required subjects should remain in the curriculum if the person with the A.B. degree is to stand for the all around individual as he has in the past.
Women who are clever enough to have thought of unusual colors for their sweaters are much admired these days. The large majority were conventional, and chose purple, green, blue or rose.
WHEAT AND THE UNIVERSITY
SITY
"With the big wheat crop in Kansas this year, a larger enrollment is expected at the University next fall," says Registrar George O. Foster. Kansas has eleven million acres of wheat this year, and its condition is more than 100 per cent. The total production of the state is estimated at about 175,000,000 bushels, or one-fifth of the total crop of the United States.
Campus Opinion
With the government guaranteed price of $2.26, the value of the wheat crop this year will be enormous. When agriculture thrives in Kansas, all other industries also will thrive and a year of great prosperity is inevitable if present forecasts prove true. With these prosperous conditions more than the usual number of students are certain to come to the University next fall. It will be a big year and the University must be prepared to do big things.

Our graduates, as a general rule, are loyal to the University and its ideals and are willing to support it with their time and money. The exception to this rule is the slander and criticism heaped on the students by a graduate newspaperman who characterizes them as a "peeple crowd" and accuses the trainee of indifference as to the result of the Missouri-Kansas meet. Such criticism as it was in one of the leading papers of the West, did absolutely no good and may even result in discouraging new enrollment.
Editor Daily Kansan:—
a certain degree but this is due solely to the war and such is the case with all the universities at the present time. The charge that our track team received from the University of these men have been on the team for several years having competed against some of the best athletes in the country. Besides, the closeness of the score, 49 to 60, shows that our man had the interests of the University at
A man's loyalty to his school should not end with his graduation. If he has benefited by the education he has received he owes the school a debt of gratitude which can only be paid by supporting it when it needs his support and by boosting it whenever there is an opportunity to do so.
