The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UMass in to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it. Students play no favoritie; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be smart; to be brave; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.

FAIRNESS FOR BOTH
The system of auditing accounts of students in the University, which has caused so much irritation, now seems to be more clearly understood, not only by the students who were affected by the ruling, but by members of the University Senate as well.
The privilege of auditing the accounts, which practically everyone agrees is anything but a privilege, was forced upon the University authorities by the Board of Regents and later by the succeeding Board of Administration. The task is not undertaken by the auditing committee nor by the Senate voluntarily.
Because of lack of thorough understanding both by the faculty and the students, protests against the system have been many in the last few months. Investigation of the matter shows, however, that the rule is one which cannot be evaded by the authorities of the institution.
Books must be submitted for audit by organizations giving enterprises for which a fee is charged. If a fraternity or sorority gives such an enterprise and charges for it, its books must be submitted for audit.
The greatest protests on the part of the students have been on the disposal of profits. Many believed that the University kept all money made over and above expenses. This belief has been announced as absolutely false by University officials. The money belongs to the organization and the University does not want it and has no intention of claiming it.
By clearing up existing misunderstandings the system of auditing accounts will become better known as a method of protection both for the students themselves and for the honor of the institution as well. Fair minded persons will acknowledge this. It now appears that greater action will be taken for closer co-operation of the students and faculty. Publicity is one of the best ways of obtaining this. It must not be the belief that one side is trying to tyrannize the other. A liberal attitude and evidence of open minded expression on the part of each faction will obtain the best re
A BRIGHTER OUTLOOK
The war has done much to quell lively outbursts of traditional college spirit in every university in America. It has greatly affected our own institution. But to every student of the University of Kansas who helped sing The Crimson and the Blue, and who heard the Rock Chalk boomed through
Fraser Hall chapel at the convocation Thursday there came intuitively the thought that as far as K. U. is concerned the revival of her glorious old time spirit has not only begun, but is well under way.
The spirit of the entire meeting bore out this thought. The address of Chancellor Strong made clear the desire of the faculty to meet with the interests of the student and to give a square deal to all. The Chancellor illustrated well to every person present who had not yet learned, what it means to be a student or a graduate of the University of Kansas.
Because of the war and the problems caused by the war many under-classmen of the University had never attended a meeting which in any way resembled the old convocations. With such meetings practically assured in the future, it seems an evident fact that revival of K. U. spirit is guaranteed.
It now seems apparent to many that a new method of exercising authority has begun at the University. Most friction in the past has been due to misunderstanding of one side by the other. It seems assured now that efforts to clear up such oversights will be undertaken by those in authority.
For uniting more closely the relations of students and faculty nothing will be of more value than systematic convocations. We believe it is the desire of each side to give the other a square deal. Future convocations will aid in doing this.
PEN SORCERY
His name is "The Mystery of Handwriting," and it lives in the stacks at Spooner Library, between "Principles of Pragmatism" and "Bettling" and Gambling, A National Evil." It is obviously old, but is not worm. It must have been added to the University books some time in the '90s, but whether by gift or by the purchase of a kind.hearted librarian, who wished to give the students something interesting to read, does not appear.
"This writing," remarks the author below a beautiful sample of flowing curves and splashes, "is selfish in a high degree, while this," indicating the next specimen which is delicate and almost microscopic, "shows love, the master passion, for it combines the characteristics of gentleness, refinement, and idealism."
The qualities of character as listed alphabetically, from "ardor" to "virtue," with descriptions of how they are shown in penmanship. Then there copies of autographs of famous people, with their imminent souls carefully revealed by the expert detective of handwriting. Quaint humor creeps in at times, as when the author remarks, "Uncrossed t's and i's that are not dotted are sure signs of the characteristic of carelessness."
But for all its interest, the book has not been read. Dust is thick upon it, and the leaves are scarcely worn. It was a product of another generation. Times change.
More scientific methods of self-analysis have replaced the old way of the penmanship sorcerer.
It has long been the contention of The Daily Kansan that a representative of the student press should be admitted to meetings of the Senate. Recent developments have seemed to uphold this belief.
Most altercations between faculty and students have been caused by lack of due publicity. In many cases the Senate had every reason for actions taken but the student body was hostile because of the secretive manner in which Senate affairs were conducted.
PUBLICITY AND SENATE
The Senate has refused to permit the attendance of a reporter to its meetings mainly because of the belief that such a reporter could not state the facts correctly. The impression is also current that a reporter is merely a smelter-out of scandal and sensational news matter.
The Senate does not consider that the present manner of gaining inform-
mation of its happenings leads to far greater errors than first hand information would permit. All news material would of necessity be gathered in the Senate by experienced and trusty Kansan writers. In addition it would be far more顺利 carried out, by the editors
be carefully revised by the editors.
The Daily Kansan believes that a representative will be admitted. An action of the Senate permitting this would be wise and popular.
Readable Verse
The per capita circulation based on the estimate population of the country of 106,737,800 persons was estimated by the United States Treasury to be on January 6 this year $55.76 as compared with $56.23 on December 1 last. The money in circulation January 1 was also estimated to be $5,120,424,908, compared with $5,993,627,863 on December 1. This decline in the per capita and in the total circulation of money, while relatively slight, is an indication of a return slow though it be, to normal conditions and prices, a return which is usually indicated sooner at the United States Treasury than elsewhere—New York World.

"The key-note of the book is not serious but rather the mocking, high-spirited, deprecatory note typical of the Anglo-Saxon soldier and immortalized by Bairnsfather—of laughing at the inveitable."
"What Robert Service did for his army in "Rhymes of a Red Cross Man," Willard Wattles has to some extent done for ours," says the New York Evening Post in a criticism of Willard Wattles' book "Kansas Camp Verse."

The signing of the armistice and the abdication of the kaiser has not in the least depreciated the value of Irving Baccheller' new book, "Keeping up with William," in which the Honorable Socrates Potter talks of the relative merits of sense, "common and preferred."

As in Bacheller's earlier success, "Keeping up with Lizzie," Socrates Potter, the country lawyer, in his droll, half humorous, half serious way, tells the story of keeping up with William. He says the whole world, including America, is "supering." following the exacting industry of being superior, an art which was founded in Prussia, where "Bill Hobenzollern, the Godfuel, was head an front of the whole push."

In "A Knight, a Knave and Antoinette," in the March Ladies Home Journal, Monsieur de Bonnofois faces this situation. It is a thrilling story on the Sir Walter Scott type and contains the always popular plot of a girl, two men and a pair of swords.
to flee at the moment you expected to be murdered by a mock priest and his gang, would you go or would you stay and fight just because you had never lost at swords and hated to miss an opportunity to show your skill?
There is really no woman hater except a woman herself. One exists in "A Man's Woman" in McClures.
The March issue of the Bookman contains a "Dining With Dickens at Delmonico's" a lively account of a famous dinner given to Dickens by a select group of literary men.
The rumor that a book entitled "Too Much Wilson" is soon to be published is apparently without foundation.
SQUIBS
Of great interest to book-lovers, especially those who are interested in old editions, is the auction of rare books that is being held this month by Herschel V. Jones, editor and publisher of the Minneapolis Journal.
Among the collection of 1,700 volumes which Mr. Jones has been gathering for more than thirty years are such rare volumes as a copy of the first edition of Shakespeare's sonnets, which is the only copy to be found outside two great museums and the University of California, America. Silinder's "Arcadia," in the only perfect copy extant is also in the collection.
One of the most valuable and unique volumes is the dedication copy of Milton's "Cosmus." Dedicated to the son of the Earl of Bridwater.
Mr. Jones has made a catalogue of his collection which can very probably be obtained from him by anyone sufficiently interested.
