The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university than merely printing the news that has been posted. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be a good ambassador; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to instill in students the integrity of the University.

MARTINELLI—TONIGHT
Martinelli, the man who gets $16.66 a minute for his work will sing in Robinson Gymnastics tonight. He opens a concert course of eight concerts.
No student should neglect his musical training by failing to hear the Martinelli concert—or any of the other concerts. No higher recommendation of the good quality of these concerts need be given than that made by Chancellor Strong.
"Seldom," he said, "is the student able to hear an assembled artists course with a program equalling this or e."
There is no doubt that this is true. Yet, why do many students, who come here to the University for the cultural, shy away from classical music? The price is certainly reasonable—thirty-one cents.
BE CAREFUL!
A football team from the Spice Islands would probably be a peppery enough outfit.
The University may well be alarmed over the prospect of an epidemic of typhoid fever. Three students are already ill with the disease and a general epidemic of illness prevails, on Mount Oread.
"Retten, and un't for use" is the term that describes the substance that Lawrence substitutes for water, and until it is made fit for human consumption the most extreme care should be exercised by Lawrence landladies and students in the use of it. The well water is said to contain dangerous germs, and so it is with great interest that the University public awaits the outcome of the investigation as to the cause of the disease.
The hospital is crowded with students wanting the typhoid inoculation, but the threatened epidemic should be a warning not only to all students and faculty members, but to the citizens of Lawrence, and more particularly to the landlades.
After naming one of their towns Ryndam, the Dutch protest their neutrality.
K. U. FIRE PROTECTION
With the announcement Thursday of the disastrous fire at the Christian Brothers' College at St. Louis, which claimed the lives of four students, it is gratifying to know that in so far as a sufficient supply of water is concerned, K. U. is well guarded against such a catastrophe.
The danger of fire to the University was forseen in 1911, and Potter's Lake was later constructed to provide the University with water, not only for general purposes, but as an adequate protection against fire.
Now another safeguard has been added. It is no longer necessary for the engineer to run to Potter's. *ake to start the pump when an alarm is*
turned in. Instead, all, he has to d is reach out his hard to the new start ing box which has just been installed and which makes it possible to operat e the pump from the engine room at a moment's notice. With a testing pressure immediately available of 18 pounds to the square inch, enough to throw a stream of water clear over Fraser Hall, the old building is reasonably well insured against disaster The original cost of this protection was $8,000, a small matter compared with the value of University buildings and the lives of students. Now if we could only stop being penny-wise and pound foolish about a lot of other things!

JUST SMILE!
"The thing that goes the most toward Making Life worth while,
That costs the least and does the most
it just costs an amount you'll.
Is just a pearson smiley.
Cheer up, be glad. If everything goes wrong, why simply smile. There is always a silver lining to every cloud. If you could not master that lesson, why, simply smile and keep on trying. After all, it is easier to optimistic than pessimistic, and the surest way of obtaining happiness is through good cheer. And the secret of good cheer is—just smile!
A, B, C, D, E, F, G!!
This University, like grade schools,
has its class rooms filled with chairs
that bear the marks of students'
knives and pencils. In all probability
these marks were put there thought-
lessly by the occupants as they sat
listening to lectures. It is so easy for
the point of the pencil to slip into
the crevices of Greek letters carved in
the chairs and blacken up those letters.
But all this does not lessen the unsightly appearance given to the chairs. Some of the so called "south-paw" chairs that were bought now this year are already beginning to show the effects of students' thoughtlessness.
If it is true that the legislature does not equip this institution as well as it should, then let's show our appreciation of what is given us by retraining from carving our hieroglyphs on them.

CAMPUS OPINION
DON'T HIDE THE STATUES Editor of the Daily Kansan:
We have the finest site for a cam pus in the United States, and, moreover, a fine collection of buildings on the grounds there is plenty of room for improvement.
Between a case of dessicated entomological specimens and a stuffed Dodo bird in the Museum is a fine bronze statue, the gift of Dr. S. B. Bell, donor of the Eleanor Taylor Bell Memorial Hospital at Rosalde. The statue is called by some "The Guy A-Diggin" but its real name is "The Guy". It is not named for dollars, and is considered an excellent work of art. It should, indeed, grace our campus instead of a dusty corner of an embalmed museum.
Statues as a rule are put out where people can see them instead of being hidden away. Nearly every university campus has a kind on the campus why is it that Kansas has none? Let's see that statue on the campus.
Interested.
OUR K. U. POETS
(Concluded on Thursday night's Kansan.)
The sun's first rays lit up the sky. As the student raised his head, he said, "I'm not a teacher."
CUR-AGE II.
He'd brave the greatest foe— "I'm a K. U. Law and a Senior that
With courage strong and heart steel
But the best laid plans so you have heard
that I'd like for you to know."
Don't always turn out pat.
You may miss your mouth when
they bite you.
Oh, well it's nothing new,
They took him away from the blue
And voiced his great decision
As last week's Kansas said.
And did as they always do.
Let me sit on the steps of old Gree Hall,
taking a drink
or else like that.
What harmed you day at the foot
Let me sit on the steps of old Green Hall.
What happened that day at the football game?
The bouquets to the back door please.
The mids who dress in the latest attire.
She caused a heap of wrongs.
They used her name as dying prayers.
They used her name as dying prizer.
And sung her praise in songs.
But she had a lot of fame.
And be a friend to man.
On The Steps of Old Green Hall
The maids who are glad and the maids who are sad.
In the peace of their self content;
the moulds like masks that twinkle

Louise—I saw Schumann-Heink last week.
Bing—I understand that Schmelts is lazy.
I see from the steps of old Green Hal
Whence the sender I laws run rife
The maids who seek social life;
Pete- Peach of a play, isn't it?
-Jack o'-Lantern.
There are modest maids who live with- drawn

But woe is me for "Curage" sweet
It's praise I can't amend.

"Ugh!" exclaimed the girl wildly
ranching a white ivory hair
brush. "There's a bug!" Step on
um quick! And in another moment
washed beneath a boxelder bug was
rushed beneath a crimson satin
doubler slip.
Upon being questioned why she killed the bug, the girl replied that bugs made her nervous, that they annoyed her even though she knew they were perfectly harmless. This led to an investigation of the boxelder bug, revealed the greatest weakness in her character, and the biggest difficulty that confronts her in accomplishing her life work. That was a lack of understanding and sympathy for the little commonplace things in life and nature.
How can we to understand the Big

As glad and as sad as I.
But I turn not away from their smiles or their tears.

And still I rejoice when the pep

CHARITY.
It is not the polish that counts, but the material that lies beneath it. Countless numbers of English students spend untold time and energy polishing worthless ideas, which are created through life in the same fashion. They acquire a smattering of this and that until they have what they consider a "good enough polish." A person who meets such a requirement he to be compelled on an automobile with much brass trimming and no motor. It can't go far on polish!
Then why should I sit in a corner seat and dodge the Prof's sync ban—
at me sit on the steps of old Green Hall
And be a friend to man.
Where the fair co-eds go bv—
—S. R. I.
There is an old, old proverb dating back to a medieval king of England, which however holds true common sense. "Evil to him who evil thinks." Think not evil of your neighbor, view his acts with the broadest charity, even if his views on every subject do not quite agree with your own. Although you may think that you have reason to be content in the war a manner as possible and give others the benefit of the doubt which you hope they would give you under the same circumstances.
