U. 35. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the teacher than merely printing the text on a computer. The University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more curious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to teach students of the University. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2. 1916. VOTE IN CHAPEL TOMORROW The Kansan will take a straw vote tomorrow morning in chapel to give the students an opportunity to express their preference for the presidential candidates. This has been done at many of the other large universities of the country and has aroused much interest among the students. Every student should cast his ballot tomorrow as the result will be a fair index of the way this section of the country will go in the big election next Tuesday. Students here represent the voting population of all sections of the state and most of them, men and women alike, are interested in the election. The results of the straw vote will be of interest. Help make it a success. THE CHANCELLOR'S REPORT "Acacias make quilts." Girls, there's your opportunity. A man who can make a quilt is a rarity and should be promptly "shooed" into captivity. Some legislators probably sighed others groaned and still others cursed when they read the notice of Chancellor Strong's report to the Board of Administration i yesteaday's papers. Also some tax payer, who probably pays a fraction of a cent to the upkeep of the University, no doubt fainted. But to those who know the facts it appeared differently. There was not a single item mentioned in the report that the University is not badly in need of and most of the things are absolute necessities if the University is to continue its growth and if certain departments are not to pass out of existence. But a short visit and inspection trip to K. U. is all we ask of those who would criticize. The enrollment of the University has increased more than 1000 since any substantial provision was made for new buildings or equipment. Consequently the need has become so pressing that the demands, necessarily, seem rather large. Can any one inform us why so many Aggie students thought it necessary to wear overalls and boots, to proclaim that they were farmers? WHAT THE BORDER TAUGHT THEM The boys are back, you say? Ah. No, you err. The boys who left Lawrence last summer never will return. They were lost forever in the soothing swirl of Uncle Sam's great Melting Pot which knows no product Boy. Boys they were cast in, but Men they emerged. The fires of service have given us a new product, a product of which we are justly proud. The men who sang their way up Mt. Oread on Monday afternoon were some way different from the palladian faces chaps who left for the Border. Physically, these same sallow-complexioned youths have returned to us men in every sense of the word. Nut-brown and hearty, they are strong of body, alert, and active. They move and act as only men of perfect health can move and act. But it is not the physical change that impresses us most. We expected that. Something else has been wrought into the lives of the rookies,—an intangible something that baffles us and leaves us unsatisfied with our own deductions. Every man stands squately on his feet and looks you straight in the eye. He has none of the half-hearted attitude and manner that he carried to the Border with him. He "talks sense" and he makes you feel his personality. There is no hesitation and no dailying in his make-up. Can perfect health alone do this? Can perfect health instill into a man the esteem and love which these men profess for their officers, can it give him regard for constituted authority, can it induce him to condemn the milk-sops and mollycoddles who cried about their treatment at the hands of Uncle Sam? We say no. There is something more, something that the boys who stayed at home lack. Let him analyze it who can. "Profs Work At Night"—headline in The Kansan. And still the legislators sigh, "Let 'em drag along on the same old appropriations for another two years." We don't blame the faculty members for protesting and leaving for better fields. Neither did we write this in hopes of bettering our grades. OUR CAMPUS POSSIBILITIES OUR CAMPUS POSSIBILITIES Mount Oread is the most beautiful location for a college campus in the country, according to one of the leading tenors of the Minnesota Symphony Orchestra, who has visited practically every college in the country on his concert tours. But the location has certainly been mistreated in the estimation of Herbert Hare, the landscape architect from Kansas City, who has been retained by the Board of Administration to draw up plans for beautifying the campus. The buildings are strewn helter-skelter on the hill without regard to symmetry, convenience or beauty. The walks, rather than being planned, just "growed," after the manner of the dusky heroine of fiction. The result you may observe any lay on the way to class. If your udgment is discriminating you will observe the architectural flaws and he negged landscape possibilities. day on the way to class. If your judgment is discriminating you will observe the architectural flaws and the neglected landscape possibilities. However, when you come back to visit your grandchildren, an altered campus will greet you. If financial support is given Mr. Hare's plans so they can be carried off, the rough edges will have been rounded off, the wrinkles ironed out, and the flaws glossed over. And tardy steps will have been taken to make the most of an ideal location marred by a purely utilitarian development. LEVITY WITH THE GRIND To eat, or buy an overcoat, that is the question — Louisville Herald. "I really don't know," said the large man, gazing at his plate. "I just happened to move that little piece of cheese on the steak was, under it."-Tar Heel "How did you find that piece or table of the smiling waiter, in anticipation of your return?" I never saw a pale blue cow— I never hope to see one. But by the pale blue milk we get I'm sure that there must be one. Yes, I told father that white poker chart dropped was a peppermint table.

WITH THE POETS And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes KEEPING THE MIND CLEAN Neither would Alexander have died in his twenties, nor would Nero have sacked Rome. Neither would crime have been begotten nor would men, be suffering the poverty of the reign of economic terror today. By Elizabeth M. Walker. E HARBOR The test of manhood and character is in the ability to keep the mind clean. Were this no difficult task the world would have reached its million-age ago; in fact the serpent would not now be crawling on his back, but it would have yielded up the ghost and the Garden of Eden passed out of existence. The reformers are continually looking forward to that Utopian age who could imagine a society. And the reformer attempt to remedy the faults of men. But th splendid panacea lies in the grasp o his hands. He cannase his own mine —Oregon Emerald. He thinks in secret, and it comes to merrie: The tool of Thought, and, shaping what he wills.

What we are today we will be to-morrow with something added. This is an immutable law of nature. "Think then you are today what yesterday you were—tomorrow you will not be less," wrote Omar. He neglected to add that tomorrow you will be to-morrow today and that the addition will depend on how you control your ideals—your raddar, so say. *Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes.* MEMORIES: NEW YORK Suffragate Speaker—Have I made myself plain? By the ideals you construct are the events of your life shaped to meet the part in the drama you have directed yourself to play. The world makes way for the man who knows whither he is going; that is, he who seriously thinks about the fate of tomorrow's tomorrows has the advantage of preparation and preconceived action.—University of Washington Daily.

Using from the mist of early morning, using from the mist of white ships, all sun-kissed, and with huge buildings streptoping to it. With pale-snow smokes like incense.

L—SUNDAY Every student, at some time or other during his University career, decides whether he will enter into any campus activity or whether he will devote all of his time to study. If the man decides in favor of all of his time to study he is making a grave mistake. There is nothing amenable to a well-trained student, so even there are not enough of them. But if I gain this scholarly rank, a person may neglect the other side of school life, the campus activity part—he loses more than he gains. COLLEGE ACTIVITIES To mingle with people, to learn to know them and the best way to deal with each individual, is the greatest education on earth, and it can only be gained through mental alertness and concentration. No mental slugging is required in this lesson. A knowledge of books will provide a knowledge of people, but the ability to make friends will not get a history lesson, or a German translation. The most valuable possession on a path is a friend, and the experience one gets in campus activities, in lectures, in meetings with others, and boosting worth-while things will be an unending source of help and benefit all of his days. TOMORROW The time to begin is in the freshman year, and when a good start has been made in the studies, every new man and woman should enter some outside field and work in it with all his or her might. The ability to combine scholarship and social activity, which does not mean lighter society in all of its frivolity—their ability, and the application of it, is that which makes the ideal man or woman—the real University graduate.—Daily Nebraskan. could smile!
