The Daily Kansan aims to picture the university of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the new book from Kansas; to play no favoriter; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.

PRIZE WINNING EXAMPLES
The engineers challenged the laws to a snow fight and the laws came back with a challenge for a debate. The Green Hall men evidently believe the tongue is mightier than the snowball.
PRIIZE WINNING EXAMPLES
Who knows but what the campus roads at the University of Kansas may prove a source of financial benefit to some ambitious student? Thus may their badness be turned to some good.
The Kansas Good Roads Association offers prizes of $25, $15, and $10 for the best pictures "showing the disadvantages of dirt roads, and which could be used as an argument in favor of 365-day roads." The time of the contest has been extended to April 1, perhaps because the association did not receive any photographs of the roads often called "the worst roads in Kansas." Mount Ouch绿街.
If a motion picture of the scene by the bulletin board could be taken some splashing, slushy day, it undoubtedly would win the prize as the best picture of the worst roads. It would show a passing motor car, throwing up small sheets of muddy water and dabs of 'mud. It would show some students hurrying away from the crossing. The shift, uneven nature of the rounded would be pictured.
It would be a good picture, an extremely excellent one.' And with it ought to go this text:
"This is an example of the excellence of the condition of the roads in a plot of several acres of ground on which nearly three thousand persons travel daily. This is the type of hard surface, well drained, passable roads that a state educational institution shows to its thousands of students representative of all sections of the state."
The "professional prohibitionists" are now being scorned by the liquor press. Not long ago the "professional abolitionists" were flouted and scorned, but can't be noticed greatly.
A mental athlete might be defined as a person who has a record at jumping at conclusions.
PROMPTNESS—A RARE VIR TUE.
The meeting was set for 8 o'clock at night. At 8:23 o'clock the president appeared. At 8:36 he called the meeting to order. Only six members of the organization came in after that time.
Let us follow Blank, one of the
members of the organization. After dinner he paged through a couple of newspapers and glanced at a few stories. Then he went to his room and began to study. This process required a few yawns, a visit to several other fellows in the house for several minutes of useless conversation, and a rummage in the table drawer for some bits of valueless information.
In the middle of this "study" period Blank thought about the meeting he had scheduled for 8 o'clock. But as it was about ten minutes until time for it to begin, he dismissed it from his mind. About 8:20 he ended a talk with a neighbor student and got ready to go to the meeting-place.
As another student from the same house was going to the same meeting, the two got together on the front steps and discussed things in general. A few minutes' walk landed the two at the meeting.
As they entered the meeting a motion was being discussed. Of course, it had to be repeated and much of the discussion had to be gone over for the late corners' benefit.
The meeting, which—judging by the amount and importance of business transacted — should have ended by 8:30, had not begun at that time, and did not adjourn until 9:30.
An extravagantly exaggerated story? Well, hardly. Probably one student followed through his meandering way to a meeting would not perform all of the actions Blank performed, but the average student would follow a similar, if deleted, course.
The time wasted by lateness to meetings is enormous, when one sits down and considers it. Waiting for a meeting to begin is boresome to every early-coming student and destructive to his time and good humor.
That student is original who enters a meeting on time. And yet he should not be unique. Promptness in filling engagements should not be an oddity.
Right after the birthday of George Washington who never told a lie, came the assessor.
ANOTHER FABLE-AND A MORAL
Patrick Henry Jones the silver tongued "carbonaro" had called a bolshevistic, red flag indignation meeting of fellow runagates whom he was to address upon the rapacity and vampirism of the despots who dominate the University.
At thirty-three minutes after the time for the meeting to be called to order only a colored janitor and his coon dog had appeared.
Whereupon Mr. P, H. Jones tore his hair and rent his neck ainie taucher.
"Never again!" he vowed. "Here after I'll air my opinions by writing 'communications to the Daily Kansan.'"
If a voice could be stationed on every dangerous rock, on every sand-bar or other perilous point, and if that voice could constantly shout the warning: "This is Rock So-and-Do; keep off," or "Here is a-dangerous shoal!" (or current), and if the voice could be heard miles off to sea, the mariner would be able not only to avoid it, but to learn his exact location. New this precisely is what the United States Naval Communication Service undertook to do at one point at least on our Eastern coast.
NOW "CANNED RADIO."
An automatic device was established at Point Judith light, designed to call out warnings by radiophone o ships navigating in the vicinity when the light could not be seen on account of fog, mist, rain, or snow. "The apuratus" says one account, repeats the words 'Point Judith Light' every five seconds, and the warning can be heard fully eight miles away. After every third utterance a word is written wormy, getting closer; to stop off.' This last warning is audible only to vessels that have come within a range of two miles, and for these it is the red flag warning them of impending danger. While this device is still undergoing tests, its eventual value is assured."
This raiophone warning system is already recognized as a great gain to civilization, and the installation at Point Judith promises to be the governor of a new world-wide property. It is the beginning of the automatic radio, of the "canned radio," as the humorists will probably characterize
it. There is no reason why it should not be used also to prevent collitions at sea. The vessel enshrined in fog might start her automatic radiophone singing out her name in signals which to a ship listening in would indicate the distance and location. The United States Naval Communication Service may thus set up in a simple way the ingress of a problem which has tried the ingression of men in many lands for generations, and other important prospective uses for the invention will readily spring to the ingression — Collier's.

THE BOUR-GEE-OISE
I love the Proletarian;
I scorn the Bloated Plutocrat
With a his Parasites and Toys;
But how I bow the Bour-gee-oise!
A Washington Square Litany I love the Proletariat;
That Groundling works to pay his way.
To win his three square meals a day
A home, and other sordid joys.
Oh, how I loathe the Bour-gee-oise!
Oh, how I bathe the Bour-gee-oise!
His taste would make a Zulu blush;
He detes on chairs in crimson plush;
He has no Grasp—no Flair—no Poise;
His attitude to Art is low;
Hislitt should be a master.
And when he laughs he makes a noise.
Oh, how I loathe the Bour-gee-oise!
He has no Quest—no soul to search;
He sometimes even goes to church
And takes his wife, his girls and
hovs!
Oh, how I loathe the Bour-gee-oise
He lacks my Broad Humanity My Universal Sympathy,
My Zeal for All that nothing cloys-
Except, of course, the Bour-gee-oesi.
—Arthur Guiterman in the New York
Tribune.
If the plans of the University of Texas Ex-Students Association work out as expected, no wounded Texas of college grade will be barred from of colleges grade will be barred from the University of Texas by lack of money. It is presumed that by next fall, a memorial fund of $1,000,000 will have been raised. It is proposed to lend the income to deserving boys and girls, at low interest, to be repaid when the borrowers have gotten started in their after-college career. It is estimated that 200 returned soldiers can be helped in this way the first year, and it is proposed that ultimately as many as 1000 persons each year shall receive assistance from the fund—Christian Science Monitor.

A recent concert given in Canada was the 500th American concert to be given by the Zoellner Quartet. The program last night included a Kangaroo composer, "Andante Pathetite," by Arthur Lude of Lindsborg.
The Zoellner Quartet which appeared Tuesday night in Fraser Hall is adjudged by music critics to be one of the great string quartets of the world, ranking only second to the Flonzyal Quartet. It is said to be especially suitable for quality of musical feeling each personality merging into that of the whole.

The Women's Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. W. B. Downing, is rapidly working up numbers for the annual concert, the date of which has been indefinitely set for the beginning of next quarter. Practices, which are usually held an hour a week have been extended to two hours to make up for the time lost at the beginning of the school year.
Percy had a tenor voice,

And every time that Percy sang,
The crowd was sure to go—

Would not this plan be especially valuable in courses like Journalism, Rhetoric, Home Architecture and Interior Design that requires climbers or drawing?

The course is offered by Miss Gertrude Anderton, who is basing it on her remarkable experiences with wounded soldiers who responded to musical treatment. Miss Anderton has ascertained that certain pitches and harmonic combinations have a certain bodily effect, and through this means is attempting to affect physical as well as neurotic cures.
The original Mr. Jazz has been found! Thirty years ago, before many of us had thought much about the relative merits of classic and jazz music, a negro in Atlanta furnished the virtuoso of a jazz band by humming with his lips on the edge of an empty lard can. Since that time, jazz music has progressed to include the trombone, which was played on the piano, but it is doubtful if the jazziest of modern jazz bands can quite compare with the negro with lard can, surrounded by an orchestra of jew's harps, "bones," and lusty voices.

Closing work for the Armenian and Syrian relief fund is progressing, but not at a rate proportional to the growing sense of fellowship that has come from peace and the peace conference. In our case this is not because the University fails to sympathize with the wounded nation. It is simply because we do not connect the Registrar's Office with the check we would gladly write if we were directly approached for it.

In a special message to the Legislature, the Governor of Texas has made recommendations for the generous support of both the common schools and the higher educational institutions of the State. Appropriations aggregating $4,000,000 of the general revenues are urged for the purpose of affording means to raise teacher's salaries and in general to supplement the funds already available for carrying on and increasing the efficiency of the schools. In addition, the Governor proposes a constitutional amendment to the status of the University of Texas, the College of Industrial Arts and the College of Industrial Arts and also authorizing a bond issue of $10,000,000 to provide a permanent endowment for these institutions—Christian Science Monitor.
