The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the more experienced than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas and preferences of her favorite; to be clean; to be cheerful; to beacious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the students as actively identify the University.
DON'T TAKE THE CHANCE!
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 24, 1916.
It sometimes takes a tragedy to arouse people to the danger about them and this is the situation at the University. The death yesterday of a student, caused by typhoid fever, should be the necessary blow to awaken the public.
PASSING UP OPPORTUNITIES
The University physicians say the danger of a wholesale epidemic of fever here is still impending. Hundreds of students have taken inoculation but the majority of them have not and are liable to contract the disease.
Inoculation is being made as rapidly as possible at the hospital. It is paid for. No one can afford to run the risk.
The first University lecture of the year was held in Fraser chapel yesterday afternoon when Dr. Alma Webster Powell talked to a large number of students and faculty members. The committee on University Lectures and Convocations should be complimented for engaging such interesting people and the students should be congratulated on having the opportunity to hear them.
A partial list of lecturers has been made up and it includes such men as Dr. John M. Coulter, a scientist from the Chicago University, Senor de la Garza, who is recognized as one of Mexico's greatest men; John Sparge, a progressive American Socialist and Frank Speaight, of London, who is famous for his readings from Dickens.
Many others of almost equal importance will be here and they are all men who have something to say that is worth while. A student's education should not lie solely in what he gets from his books and those who pass up the benefits which may be derived from hearing the men who are brought to the University are indeed missing a great opportunity in their education.
Blizzard Blankets the Campus; Students Caught—Headline in the Daily Nebraska. Would it be out of place to ask, "What?"
WHAT IS THE MILL TAX?
That is the question many students ask since that issue has came before the public.
The mill tax, in the simplest words, is a tax that will provide a permanent income for the state educational institutions of Kansas. It will not mean a heavier burden on the tax payers of the state as the money which is appropriated every two years under the present system would be a constant levy, each year, on the assessed valuation of the state for the institutions' maintenance.
The difficulty with the present plan is that the amount varies every two years and that the levy fluctuates with politics. Under the moll tax, the educational institutions would cease to be a "political football," and their
maintenance would be assured for a longer period than two years at a time.
As it is the school heads cannot enter upon any definite plan for development because they have no assurance that the next legislature will "cut them off." Consequently the growth of our institution is hampers1 and there is an economic waste which would be eliminated by the steady source of income which the mill tax would provide.
The distribution of the fund raised by the tax would be fixed by the legislature so it is not a plan whereby any one school would derive greater benefit than another.
The Men's Student Council has come out for the support of the mill tax, the county club organization is displaying more interest than ever before and there seems to be a general student interest in the project this year. It is clearly the duty of every loyal Kansan to work for the adoption of this tax so if you wish to help, enlist your aid with some organization that is backing the proposition—The Kansan, the Student Council—the County Club Union.
And remember that election is only two weeks away. Much can be done in the meantime.

EVERY-DAY THINGS
When you have that funny feeling
That you can't tell who
is talking to you all the time,
unless.
Or tell you 'tot is hopeless,
And you're ready een to die.
When you know your life's a failure
And you couldn't even smile...
There's nothing in the world for you.
You're not a bit worth while.
Cheer up! Come out of the "dumpe"
There's lots of fun things each
The way our teachers look sometimes
And the queer, queer they say
it's funny even to watch a case,
To see a poor freshie's strife...
For the most amusing things after al
Are the every-day things of life.

A CORRECTION
A CORRECTION To the Editor of the Kansan
May I be permitted to make a few corrections in your recent account of the organization of my department on behalf of the committee, seriously appraise my action as unselfish; on the contrary, I had come to the conviction that the committee method of running affairs would be beneficial to all the interests of my department, and that interests included. My action was not sinister, but it was not unselfish.
I was not appointed permanent chairman as the constitution of the University provides that "the chair, as the president, shall be annually by the Board of Administration, upon the recommendation made by the chancellor after consultation with the department faculty" (21) and that "the department gives instruction."
Finally, Dr. Charles was not elected to collect specimens for the rest of the department; she was put in charge of the herbarium, since that is so intimately related to her work in systematic botany.
Sincerely yours,
W. C. STEVENS.

About Professor Skilton's Composi
The Zoellner Quartet has "started on its transcontinental tour, and are again playing. Professor Skilton's "Indian Dances" for its closing number, many places having requested it. The quartet has added a Lullaby "The Sandman" which received its first performance last summer at Peterboro, N. H., at a recital in Edward MacDowell's music room. An orchestral setting was played in Lawrence by the Minneapolis director year after year last. Tr. Zoellner says that "The Sandman" bids fair to rival the "Indian Dances" in popularity. These compositions are being published by Carl Fischer of New York. At a recent concert in Orlando, *Mona* was played by the quartet on their track *The Daily Oklahoma comments on them as follows:* "That almost with a stone's throw of Oklahoma there lives a man who has written some of the best Indian music in America is gratifying news to those who have the talent of Charley Harper, the fessor of harmony and organ at the Kansas State University. With the same nobility of tone, the same exquisite finesse which invariably marks their playing the Zoellners gave a charming Lullaby which is based on the Sandman," and two Indian Dances which are wonderful pieces of vivid lesse="tive writing."--Adv.
