The Daily Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate students; to go further than merely printing the news and holding for the university to play no fancy role to be clean; to be cheerful; to be honest; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to educate the students of the University.

THE SENATE HABIT
Student graft at the University of Kansas appears to be the next thing to follow national prohibition.
The most enthusiasm that has been displayed this year by students is shown in the current discussion of the acts and probable future policies of the University Senate.
According to some persons the Senate is playing the role of pep-feeder to the students; if the students will not take the initiative, the Senate will. On the other hand, many students, perhaps the majority, believe that the Senate is acting autocratically with the idea of governing, disregardful of student wished. Agitation has started for student representation in the Senate.
We are now seeing the rise of student initiative again; it is shown by the growing protest against this Senate habit. Student representation in the Senate may be impractical, but more openness of Senate meetings and greater mutual action between this organization and the students will stop wringing and promote unity, and bring about a more just management of University affairs.
One fact remains throughout the entire discussion. There has not been co-operation between the Senate and the students. Part, it is true, is due to lack of student initiative, but also part is apparently due to the habit of the Senate of passing decrees without thorough consultation of student opinion.
1863 OR 1864?
Two professors, one senior, three juniors, and a freshman got into a discussion the other day.
"When," said the senior, "did the Civil War end?"
"1863," said one of the juniors and the freshman.
"1864," said one prof.
The others remained blankly silent, and a trip to the library was necessary to settle the question at 1865. It is to be hoped that libraries will always be conveniently on hand when University students are called upon for some of the information they learned in the eighth grade.
Olean, N. Y. has on her police force now a full-fledged woman cop. The question arises at once, will the criminals be more partial now as to which sex of the force arrests them?
If a "rake_off" is to continue in the dances the rest of the season, why not pull the "rake" in the students' direction?
China is a fortunate nation. Every one seems ready to help it. When opium was eradicated from China the cigarette was scattered all over the country. Now that booze has been given a kick by the western world, the brewers want to move their manufacturing plants to China.
WHERE IS THAT PRINT?
Many student table drawers contain gloss prints intended to be turned in for the Jayhawker, but instead relegated to the mass of temporarily forgotten material. Although arrangements were complete for turning in the prints, they were not followed up promptly, and the glosses were put with the bunch of weeks-old letters that some day will be answered.
Such a delay fosters the tendency to put things off until the last moment, when the number of things that must be done becomes large agd discouraging. The matter of turning in gloss prints illustrates the inconvenience the delaying spirit forces on other persons, by increasing the amount of their last-minute jobs.
Promptness in such action shows better preparedness for business methods and more thoughtfulness on the part of the student. One should not delay an established University publication by neglecting to do something that takes as little time and inconvenience as handing in a Jayhawker print.
If the University stokers would use a few less shovelfuls of coal these spring days the unprecedented number of students who sleep through class from too much heat would be somewhat reduced.
"Send me something sweet," has been the request of every American soldier in the training camp or at the front. The reason is that Uncle Sam, who feeds each soldier on approximately forty-eight cents a day, does not allow the amount of sugar usually consumed by men in private life. The soldier and the folks at home who have been forced to sugar economy by the food control of the war realize for perhaps the first time in recent years that as a nation we are heavy sugar consumers and regard as a necessity a food that not long ago was considered a luxury.
--cares nothing about the general good.
TESTS TO PROVE
The mental test is now being used at the University of Illinois. This test is similar to our Vocational advice that is to be given to students at the University of Kansas.
The mental test is proving of interest to the country in general. It is said to offer proof of the comparative merits of different groups of students.
The students at the Universities taking this step should profit by the thorough examination of their mental powers. Dean Charters of the University of Illinois has said, "No student need feel that his private short- comings will be made public in these examinations. Their purpose is purely scientific in nature and no public announcement of the resulting grades will be made."
A mental test will not be made here at the University of Kansas, but the Vocational committee will endeavor to help students select a vocation in which they can work efficiently and happily.
Here is something worth thinking about. Who are the men and women whom we call representative, the faculty members we remember as friends and not as pedagogues? They are the people who are best known about the University, and therefore themselves have the widest circle of acquaintances among students. The lonesome, homesick student is the one who can count the list of his acquaintances on his fingers, the one who does not improve his opportunity—Ohio State Lantern.
Walk on the grass and save the sidewalk. The state builds the sidewalk and Nature the grass.

Discovered by Readers of the University Fally Kansan
CALIFORNIA, IN ITALY
Could I return to my wooa once more,
And dwell in their depths as I have
Kneel in their moses as I have knelt,
Sit where the cool white rivers run,
Away from the world and half hid by
Hear wind in the woods of my storm shore.
Glad to the heart with listening—
It seems to me that I then could sing
And sing as I have never sung before
My matchless, magnificent, dark-leaved firs.
I miss, how wholly I miss my wood,
That climb up the terrible heights of Hood,
Where only the branch of white heaven stirs! . . .
That stirs with its being like a vast
bean-hive!
Oh . . . once more in my life I meet
the voice of a wood that is loud and
And, oh, once more in my life to see
The great bright eyes of the antered
Oh . . . once more in my life I hear
The word is "once" and "in". The image shows the letters "Oh", "...", and "once". So, the answer is "Once more in my life I hear".
To sing for the birds that sing for $m_0$
To tread where only the red man trot
To say no word, but listen to God!
To pray, not to beg.

THE OLD FASHIONED GIRL
To the Kansan:
In Monday night's Kansan appeared an item which inquired what has become of the old-fashioned girl who wore high shoes in February. She is still here and in greater evidence than the silly faddest who trips about in the snow wearing low shoes and thinking that she is the last word in style. Getting a cold is so much easier to bear she asks the satisfaction of thinking that she is keeping the fashion sheet alive while her slow and "old-fashioned" sisters are behind the styles and wear high shoes.
I would venture to say that there is only one woman out of twenty-five who has the idea that it is smart to wear low shoes in the dead of winter, and yet this one woman gives the other twenty-four the reputation of being an empty husk, molded and shaped by fashion.
Just because this style stuff is run into the ground by the merest minority is no reason why the whole female population should be branded as frivolous slaves to it and if they do not know how to dress a woman has sense enough to know how to dress sensibly in the winter time I am glad to sign myself.
If Illyria is to be the name closest by the Jugo-Slaves as that of their country, another of Shakespear's states besides Bohemia will take its place in the European family of nations. The citizens of Illyria, of Shakespeare's Illyria, are very well known in literature. Everyone knows Viola and Malvolio, to say nothing of the famous sonnetes of William Shakespeare, and the name was received only in the first years of the Nineteenth Century, for the convenience of swapping into one bag all those territories which became the appanage of the Austrian crown—Christian Science Monitor.
Old Fashioned
THE ORIGINAL IDIOT
Dr. R. E. Welsh in his book, "Man to Man," tells us that many a familiar word, if we open it out and trace its origin, becomes an avenue widening before us into a field of history. He takes, for example, the word idiot. This word comes from the Greek and means one whose affairs are under control. The state absorbed each individual resident and its claims were supposed to hold first place and have first charge upon his services.
The state did not exist for the citizen but the citizen for the state. His rights and liberty were to be subordinated to the well-being of the commonwealth. Naturally, his own private affairs claimed his attention, but if he allowed these to monopolize his time and thought without caring about his civic duties, he was looked upon as a defaulter. Moreover, there was a touch of contempt in the name with which he was branded "diates," the small minded individual who lived for his own private advantage, or in the modern slang, the fellow who looks after number one and
Thus, according to the Greek standard this individual was no citizen. It would be well if we could inspire some of that feeling of contempt for such men today for the need everywhere in college and civic life is for them to forget their concerns for a while and think of the general good.
We have a host of such people in the university. They are never seen anywhere except at lectures. You need never expect to see them at any college function—they have no time for anything but studies, and their world is made up only of things that affect them personally. When they graduate it cannot be expected that they will change their habits to any extent, and thus the public service suffers.
What is needed is a revival of interest; for the university, city and nation need public soul. We need a revival of the Greek sense of patriotic and responsible citizenship, converting the "idiosis" around us into men active and interested in the public weal.—McGill Daily.

A returned soldier went into a restaurant one noon for dinner and ordered noodle soup. As he took the first spoonful, he discovered a needle in it, and in indication called the waiter who had brought it to him. "Look here, George," he exclaimed

TOPSY TURVY ENGLISH
An American soldier took an English girl to see a game of baseball in London, according to a story told by Lord Dunmore. "If there is anything you want explained," said the doughboy, "tell me. I guess a lot of things happen in a life like this girl," and some things seem idiotic. "What seems idiotic?" "Well," was the answer, "why do you call the seats the stands?" —Outlook
The office boy had been sitting for hours at a typewriter, gavancing vacantly into distance, and the force was becoming worried. "He's sick," suggested the kindly, old, gray-haired bookkeeper, but the blonde stenograther insisted there must have been some tragedy at home. The suspense ended when the lad suddenly turned to the fat claim clerk and inquired: "Say, Mr. Jones, how do you spell Thelam?"—K. C. Star.

STAMPING OUT STEALING
Periodically, we are brought face to face with the settlement of the question of stealing in the Gymnasium. Again comes the announcement that a student has been dismissed for protesting that which was not his property.
It is an old story—this sneak-time that is characteristic of college communities. And because it seems so little to those who take part in it, it is even more important that it should be stamped out. We are not attempting to preach a sermon or to moralize; but stealing, and it cannot be camouflaged under any other name, is not to be countenanced in any locality and much less among people who are expected to have some degree of education and to respect in some measure the rights of others.
The University authorities have acted with wisdom in using drastic measures to stamp out the practice. The sooner undergraduates learn they are no more prudent than they are when they do things in spirit of braggadocio and fun, the better it will be—Daily Illini.
