The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the school, to further than merely printing the news and standing for the university. You play no favoriter; you play no favoriter; you be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
TUESDAY, MAY 28, 1918
The war; nothing else matters.
MAY 30.1918
"Now, therefore, I, Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States do hereby proclaim Thursday, the thirtieth day of May, a day already freighted with sacred and stimulating memories, a day of public humiliation, fasting, prayer, and dexhort my fellow citizens of all faiths and creeds to assemble on that day in their several places of worship, and there, as well as in their homes, to pray to Almighty God —"
America's chosen leader, chosen of men, chosen of God, would kneel beside his fellow citizens and with them pray. Not first for victory of arms, but for forgiveness of sins and short-comings as a people, for purification of hearts that they may see and love the truth; and then to defend all things just and right and to purpose only those righteous acts and judgments which are in conformity with His will. Last would this people be seech the God of all peoples that He be with them as they fight for the freedom of the sons of men, and hold them steadfast to sacrifice of self to the bringing of that peace which will set the hearts of men at rest because it is founded upon mercy, justice and good will.
Hail great men of America's Past! On the day conquered to you and to the memory of what you have done for your country, behold your banner lifted so that all the world may feel its staying strength and know the will of those who bear it to carry its message, still your message, to the ends of the earth.
And to God who hears and answers prayer be rendered the supplication of this people, be given the praise and glory that unto all eternity His truth. His soul are marching on!
To make the University more efficient for war service—the Permanent Income Amendment.
GOOD BY—DON'T FORGET!
Good by friends of old K. U., you who have been here four wonderful years or more together. Go out and do what you have now go to do. Our country is asking more than it ever did before. You have got to answer with all you have.
But remember where you got what you have, with whom you got it, from whom you got it. Never falter in your loyalty to your Alma Mater. Don't forget what Oread means to you in this hour of parting. Carry the spirit of University, State and Nation as each contributes to the other with cumulative power. Carry it out to the good of common men and women. Never forget that K. U. made you to be one with and for
Take the Permanent Income Amendment with you when you go home. It's more necessary than a traveling bag
common folks all the rest of your lives. Take your place in American democracy and do your duty.
"I didn't see. I didn't hear. I don't know. I forget." These four characteristic human expressions of irresponsibility are the four things the United States Army will not listen to from a soldier. He has got to forget them and what they stand for. It is part of his training as a soldier to eliminate them from his vocabulary and the necessity of them from his life.
FOUR FORGETTABLES
The officers do not say who are the most blind, deaf, and dull. It is only reasonable to assume, however, that some of the naturally inclined unobservant, inattentive, and unreceptive recruits might have come from typical American colleges and universities. They have exhibited the same symptoms before.
The impact of war will shock most of these collegians into acute realization of what has been required of them all of their lives, but until some of them get war or something like it they never do become sensate, let alone appreciative and responsive. American colleges and universities have been profoundly touched by the war; not so have all their students. Some students have capitalized on the unrest occasioned by war to become more impervious than ever to what is now requested of them and will later be demanded of them.
For the examinations- now given to close the academic year throughout the country are by no means final. Their immediate intention is to appraise personal possession of special groupings of knowledge; their larger and really permanent significance is their test of fundamental fitness. Has the student learned how to perceive, understand, ascertain and remember? Can he practically apply these invaluable habits within the life beyond the lived walls?
These are today remarkably pertinent questions. They are between the lines of every examination. They are constituent in the big interrogation the world is putting to such as come out into it, ready or unready to meet it. It has a concrete answer to both prepared and unprepared.
When in doubt, talk Permanent Income Amendment this summer.
POET'S CORNER
Gennoud Stolloff, the author of the mystic verse appearing in the Kansan for a week past, is Donald Dwight Davis, whose adventures are all well known and whose latest adventure is in another column.
Stolloff Is D. Davis
The poems were written when he was a freshman and verdantly innocent of what he was doing. He unearthed by friends he thought at first must be enemies and given the light of day. He declares he has since reformed and that this is positively his last appearance.
Vainly trying to look wise— Hesitating by each bakery,
With a pale and wane complexion
And a landscape on his chin;
Pacing through the city
A CONFESSION
By Goumoul Stélen
Have you ever seen a fellow
Hungry looking, very thin
And wondered where it is time
And the nature of its biz-
Listen to my own confession:
Staring at the cakes and pies?
If you wondered what it might be
Hungry looking, very thin
With a pale and wane complexion
As you gazed upon
If you wondered where it came from
"The Red Cross management here (in France) is extremely efficient and worthy of unqualified support of our whole people," says German Perching.
I shall make this one confession
And I'll tell you what it is:
And I'll tell you what to do
A Press Agent.
The Prize Winning Poem
University of Texas women are furnishing fifty comfort kits to the Red Cross.
If you wondered what it might be As you gazed upon his phiz;
THE LILAC HEDGE ON OREAD
HILL
The long low lilac hedge half spans the lawn.
Gem-sparkling in the noon-day's yellow light,
Dim in the shifting mist of early down.
Half-hidden in the star-stabbed dusk of night.
How many springs have seen your branches break
At April's bidding into perfumed maze
Of subtle lilac loveliness—a haze
If litling mystic fragrance in its wake.
How many hands have touched your shimmering lace,
Of love and joy and hope of youth, of
vore
You could tell us all of life—a grave or two
And now, you've listened to in silent grace.
Perhaps has felt the light caress of just
One blossom from your store—upon its dust
Tears may have mingled with your blossoms' dew.
When I am very old, I think, and friend.
And happening of my youth are dim to me.
In all its old stall beauty I shall see That long low lilac hedge on Oread Hill.
Edith Roles, Epsilon Chapter, Theta Sigma Phi.
Alumni Board To Meet
To Plan Income Bill Work
- Plans for the summer campaign for the Permanent Income Bill, which will come up before the election next November, will in all probability be the main issue of the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association, here June 3. It was learned from the office of the Association this morning that no plans had yet been made concerning summer work on the Bill.
on the 12th, will also be decided upon at the Board meeting, to take the place of J. W. Gleed, '79, of Topeka, as the University's representative on the advisory board of state institutions.
FINE ARTS RECITAL SATURDAY
The annual commencement concert will be given Saturday night, June 1,
at 8:15 o'clock in Fraser Chapel.
Any student or graduate can get invitations Friday and Saturday. Each invitation will admit one. If presented at the door by 8:15 o'clock, the holder will be admitted to reserve seats. After that hour the doors will be open to all.
If there's anything worries a woman,
It's something she ought not to
know;
But you but she'll find out anyhow
If she gets the least kind of a show
Now we'll wager ten cents to a far
thing,
This poem she's already read.
We know that she'd get at it somehow.
If she had to stand on her head.
If she had to stand on her head.
