The Daffy Kanan aims to please the students of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely print the news that the university holds to play a University hold on to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the university by qualifying the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 22, 1918.
The war; nothing else matters.
CREATIVE WORK
A recital of original compositions by students of the School of Fine Arts was given in Fraser Chapel this afternoon.
Such recitals mean that the School of Fine Arts is more than an institution to teach a student to play and sing. They mean that real encouragement is given to the creative spirit. Students are encouraged to develop their own ideas instead of slavishly copying the works of the masters.
CASH ON HAND
And the result of their creative work is found worthy to be presented to a University audience.
It wouldn't be this way if the Permanent Income Bill were now in force.
One-third of Fowler Shops wouldn't have to stand in temporarily patched ruins until the state legislature gets around to meet again. Then after plowing through preliminary and sunday matters, it probably will make a regular appropriation for permanent repairs. Ponderous system, this rigorous regular course is. Not a cent of hand to apply right now, the University, the people of Kansas, and the government of the United States can nurse patience.
For when this one third of Fowler Shops went up in smoke the other day, the building and its equipment were being put in readiness for specialized technical use in the training of 250 selected soldiers of the United States. This is no time for delays. Systematic lack of foresight is an unusual excuse.
And deliberate improvidence is the real reason. Under the workings of the proposed Permanent Income Bill such a cause would be eliminated, such an emergency would have been met effectively. The cash would be on hand within the total appropriations for state institutions and within the immediate power of the governor to apply to the particular instance of necessity. The University of Oregon has a surplus for building laid aside from the millage tax share it receives. And Kansas could at least have the money and the expedition in its usage.
Unquestionably the present system of financing Kansas educational institutions is uncertain and inelastic. Higher education in this state is too much involved in the whims of politics. The time and the opportunity are at hand for clearing the decks for action and the Permanent Income Bill is the power to do it. Cash on hand means readiness for fulfillment of obligations; there is only one way
to be sure of having the cash and meeting the obligations. The Permanent Income Bill is at once a remedy and a guarantee.
BILLS IN SPRINGTIME
It's a good thing to pay one's bills in the spring, especially before leaving the University for more or less uncertain residence.
Student organizations are being urged by creditors to pay up. They are willing to do this, eager to do it. But they find themselves without ready money.
The reason for this is not that the members are delinquent, but merely that all the treasurers' books are on deposit with George O. Foster, registrar. No checkbooks, bank books, treasurers' reports or anything else are available. And no bills can be paid until they are.
The registrar's supervision over accounts is for the purpose of helping students keep their accounts in a more efficient and business like manner as well as to eliminate graft. But the scheme seems to be working out in the opposite fashion this spring.
The honor of the University is in question as well as the honor of student and individual students. The honor of the University depends upon the reputation of every student.
Would Apply Teutonic International Tricks To Collegiate Affairs
Working Out Is Grim But Has Preparation In Aspects of Past Relations
The following Modest Proposal under the alturing captions of a naive "Why Not?" comes swiftly from the pen of one who is on the laboring and belabored Committee of Intercollegiate Relationships. All the institutions of learning in reach got a visit, but the opening fire was directed in greeting to classic halls near Topeka.
To the Intelligence Department of Washburn College;
Desiring a few instruments and books from Ottawa University, and knowing that Supermen could use them to make the world more noble instructors to get, then, A
Baldwin we were surprised and grieved to find a spirit of opposition. One student threw a rock, making a gash two and one-half (2½) inches long in the hat of one our noble instructors. We were forced to reprimand such insolence. After taking considerable booty we destroyed the home of the student and his flancee. The two young people were left in quiet—permanent quiet. The booty included an engagement ring worth $150, two tennis rackets, twenty-one (21) souvenir sixteen, sixteen (16) hairpins, six (6) pairs of cotton socks, ten (10) pairs of silk stockings, good photographs of Bishop Quayle and ex-President Mason, and the greater part of the troussause, not yet cataloged. At the girl's home, her little brother, aged four, was caught making faces at one of our of our noble instructors. We left him in a mutilated condition in the middle of the street. The girl's mother, too, added to additions of our noble instructors as "Doctor," we forced to skin the cat twenty (20) times in succession on the village hitching rail. The grandmother, who refused to smile as we were punishing the child, we brought back, to shine the shoes of our noble instructors. We fined the pastor of the Methodist Church one hundred dollars ($100,00), as he denied that the student who threw the rock was condemned to eternal punishment.
Having wrecked the University Chapel and imprisoned the Mayor, under heavy guard, our noble instructors advanced homeward, in good spirits, singing this sacred anthem;
To h— with Baker, man and maid,
To the babies of the village;
There won't be much to pillage.
Make all their proofs get on then knees,
We'll bring our axes, chop down their trees.
When we are through with our next raid.
Poison their waters. Robe their daughters.
And leave things in a terrible muss.
We'll kill a kid or two and then,
Taking rich booty home with us,
Go mowing, singing, SUP—ER
DRYING.
Our next route may pass through Topeka, toward Manhattan. We state the above facts that our good friends may avoid trouble. The humane purpose of our noble instructors must not and shall not be turned aside by the selfish, sentimental objections of un civilized schools. By the grace of Gott and the strength of our invinible mob we shall attain the place in the sun we rightly deserve, appointed to us since this State entered the Union.
Students of the University of Kansas.

POET'S CORNER
A rosy flush creeps o'er the Orient,
SUNRISE
The lily slowly spreads her fragrant tent.
And softly tints the distant mountain peak.
tum peak
The rose shakes off the dew-pearls from her cheek.
The spider creeping outward from the leaves.
Then—suddenly—in the East, burning light
Her busy task once more begins to ply.
Proclaims the sun-god, come to take his right
The fading night with deep reluctant sigh—
Blots out the stars—her last sweet
tea, cookies
To ride in glowing majesty or high—
And fling Night's lingering shadows from the skv.
—Gounoud Stoloff.
THE SOUL SOLICITANT
How oft my spirit longs for rest and calm.
To be from every care and trouble free.
To live content with peace and liberty
And feel that joy flows 'round me as a balm.
My soul doth ask as one with lifted palm
For freedom from this world of caring care.
Then Nature calls me to her high toped hills.
And oft my spirit murmurs low in prayer,
Oh, let me hear one strain of angel psalm.
And bids my soul to find its longed for rest
And then I yield myself to her em-
brace,
And lo! my soul is truly, greatly
blest.
So let me give forever close to these
In sweet communion, happy, blest,
delighted.
—Gounoud Stoloff.
So let me live forever close to thee
CAMPUS OPINION
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer. In the final draft, less the author states, but the editor must know who is writing the communication as evidence of his commitment. Communications are welcome.
In reporting the Kansas-Nebraska track meet Saturday morning, I see that you failed to mention a rather unpleasant incident.
Hanna was unable to finish the race and when he dropped out, a Nebraska runner swore at Hanna as he walked off the track and Coach Stewart loudly abused him. Hanna, being a gentleman and sportman typical of K. U., refused to enter into the argument but walked smilingly over to the Kansas stamping grounds. Fair Play.
Coach Stewart of the Nebraska University made a spectacle of himself at the meet by becoming unusually violent in his complaint of Hanna, in the two mile. Hanna was running his usual clean-cut race and would not allow a weak Nebraska runner to pass him. The starter and nothing wrong with his running, but still Coach Stewart kicked.

I am the Red Cross
(With acknowledgments to Robert H. Davis, author of "I Am the Printing Press.")
I burgeon upon the flaunting banner of victory and the drooping guidon of defeat.
I am the token of peace in the midst of battle, or gentleness
shining through the sombre mists of hate.
I am a chevron on the sleeve of mercy, an honor mark set high upon the brow of compassion.
I am the color of blood spilled for democracy, the form of Christ's tree of agony, and my followers, at need, crucify themselves to make men live.
I carry the hope of life into the red pits of death, and a dying soldier salutes me and smiles as he goes to touch the hand of God Almighty.
stand for the organized love of mankind, the co-ordinated impulses of young and old to do good, the sacred efficiency of human service.
I mark the flag under which are mobilized the forces of industry and finance, of church and school, of capital, of labor, of genius and of sinew.
I am Civilization's Godspeed to those who defend her; I am the message from home.
I am the Symbol of the pity of God.
I AM THE RED CROSS.
