The psychologists tell us not to rest before quizzes. What easy advice to take! Never mind we won't rest!
VACATION AND THE JOB
VACATION AND THE JOB
A week from today many of the students of the University will scatter to all parts of the United States, some to work, some to play. The ones who work will come back next fall richer in experience, more mature in judgment, and with an enlarged outlook on life. They will come back with that self-satisfied feeling of having accomplished something, with the sensation of having played a man's part in the game of living and having made good.
The loafer will return with the newest dance steps, a greater discrimination in the quality of cigarettes and a sang froid which comes from giving dad's money to waiters and cooing to girls at summer resorts. His hat will be set at a little greater angle, he will speak a bit more patronizingly to the barbs and his cockurensure will be untempered with experience.
Fortunately there are few students in the University who have either the desire or the opportunity to spend a summer in idleness. Most of us are Kansans by birth, temperament and desire, and Kansans aren't loafers.
Kansas with her wheat yields, her corn, her alfaalfa and her thriving cities, is for the man who can accomplish—the man with the will to do.
Now that we are ordered not to swim in Potter's Lake without the chaperonage of a swimming instructor, it would be well to fence the Kaw River, which is not as easily patrolled, before some water-loving student risks his life in its treacherous currents and perhaps goes down to a muddy death.
If every move in life would be given the different slants that a checker player gives to a move on the checker board the whole story would be an entirely different one.
WE NEED SHEEP
Inventions and appliances of man have wrought many changes in the methods that Nature worked out for doing things, but in handling the dandelion situation, we will have to revert to her plan.
For years people have commented on the hopelessness of the patient, stooping laborer trying to combat the dandelion with his knife and bucket. "Cannot some more efficient method be devised?" they have asked. Their question has been answered by adopting the method that Nature provided for such nuisances.
At the Kansas State Agricultural College it was noticed that the sheep, which are owned by that institution, were keeping the dandelions very short in their pasture, and the plan was conceived of letting them browse on the campus. The result is said to be proving very successful. The dandelions are being destroyed; the sheep make a pleasing picture, cropping on
the campus, which has an appeal to the aesthetic nature of many people; and wool and mutton are being raised as a by-product to the dandelion-exterminating industry.
It is expected that colleges all over the dandelion belt will now start buying sheep.
We would like to believe that those students who wear their fraternity pins in the center of their vests do so because they are not sure which side their heart is on and wish to play safe.
Hot weather is here and we find that many of the students have changed their places of study from a desk in an attic room to a comfortable seat in a canoe on the river.
JOURNALISM AT MINNESOTA
There is no department, not even a course in journalism at the University of Minnesota. After waiting patiently for the regents of the University to approve her, Ms. Dents themselves have gone about to start one. The men and women in separate groups have met to organize a temporary club which will later petition to become members of the nation's journalism fraternity and sorority.
Such action is especially commendable. Instead of fussing and knocking those interested have gone to work and organized to secure what they want. Of course usually the faculty and the board of administration start a new department, but they don't need it without a demand or need for it being shown. The students in Minnesota have shown this demand and have gone about it the right way with not only enthusiasm but common sense.

A Kansan story the other night stated that the third set of evergreens planted by the gymnasium may die in a fire and there all the freshmen take gym.
And now we hear that Germany is to use a submarine line. We are grateful for the change. The other one was getting pretty thin.
Of course it's mighty thoughtful to raise all this provender for the sparrows, but it seems to us as if someone has diminished the available supply of birds.
If he drops some complimentary remark about her dress the first time he meets her, a woman can never get over the opinion that a man's "nice."
If all the proposals which culminate in June weddings are made in February, Alec Sommers thinks that there is no reason that women talk least in that month.
"Finals Consume Oil!" does very well for a headline, but the paramount question is, Will the Prof. Fall for Hot Air?
Among his other troubles, the senior now has the embarrassing duty of explaining to the one here why the person who is coming up to see him graduate.
Anyway, there's one comfort. You don't remember all you can claim in for the finals.
The average man never conceives of the idea of taking a bath every day until he starts to fix up one of these daily schedules.

No, Geraldine, that "faculty engagement" didn't start from a Billy Sunday argument, but is one of the kind labeled "domestic."
Just as a suggestion: you might take home a slab of Lawrence City water. It would prove quite a curiosity to the folks.

When you find an unwillingness to rise early in the morning make this short speech to yourself: I am getting up now to do the business of a man; and am I out of humor for going about that I was made for, and for the sake of which I was sent into the world? The answer is not to doze and then warm under the counterpane?—Marcus Aurelius.
Twenty-six college women, representing fifteen colleges and universities attended the Girls' Club Conference braske last week. Colorado College DePauw and Miami Universities, the University of Michigan, the University of Illinois and the University of Texas were among the school represented.

For nearly forty years Oliver Wendell Holmes never failed to bring a poem to the annual reunion of his class at Harvard. These poems are numbered among the best of his work, expressing as they do feelings that are broadly and typically American—class college and country loyalty.
THE BOYS
POET'S CORNER
Hang the Almanac's cheat and the Catalogue's spite!
Old Time is a liar! We're twenty to tonight!
If there has, take him out, without making a noise.
Has any old yellow got mixed with the boys?
We're twenty, We're twenty! Who
He's tipy, young jackanapes—Show him the door!
"Yes, yes," Yelp said.
Where the snowflakes fall thickest
there's nothing can freeze!
'Gray temples at twenty?'—Yes while if we please;
Yes we boys—always playing with
tonge or with you —
And I sometimes have asked,—Shall we ever be me?
Shall we always be youthful, and laughing and say.
Till the last dear companion drops smiling away?
The stars of its winter, the dews of its May!
Then here's to our boyhood, its gold and its gray.
And when we have done with our life-
lasting toys,
Dear Father, take care of Thy children, the BOYS!

DEFENDS ADVISER OF WOMEN
The University of Kansas ought to stand for justice and fair play.
Since I have been here, I have noticed several things which smaller colleges in the state would be ashamed of. The one thing which has made the greatest impression upon my mind is the custom of maligning and rumination by persons connected with the University. If there is one thing more than others necessary for the making of a true man or woman, it is the giving of proper respect and courtesy to others, and especially to women. For at least two years, there have been

CAMPUS OPINION
You all know the things that have been said and done during the past two years, and I want you to stop and think about it. Put yourself in her place, if you can, or imagine what about your own mother. Of course, it is not so funny when it hits you, but as long as it is some one else, who has no chance to say or do anything in her own behalf, it's perfectly all right. Why don't you make sure that you can't talk to some or some of the other prominent people of the University? I have never heard anyone accuse them of being useless just because one doesn't happen to know everything that goes on in their private offices. Why should they be worried? It is no one's business what goes on in her office except hers. I know of a few things that she has done for the girls, and I know, too, that there is not another person here who loves young people better or not. Would you not want women? It is no one's business what goes on in her office except hers. I know of a few things that she has done for the girls, and I know, too, that there is not another person here who loves young people better or not. Would you not want women? It is no other woman in Kansas who is better known, or loved more throughout the state, than our own Adviser, and I think that it is up to the students of this University to do the right thing, and to give her the respect which is required. —Justice.
A FINE ARTS BUILDING Editor Daily Kansas;
things said about the adviser of women which are a positive disgrace
Yet the state of Kansas has burned her last bonds of indebtedness, and has been master.
At the Fine Arts Banquet last week, the slogan of "A New Fine Arts Building" came in for unanimous approval. And it should receive the undivided approval of all the students of the University, North College is a disgrace to the University. When visitors come to see the University, we point with pride to various parts of the campus. We point out the few of the many of us want to point to North College, and admit that it is the home of the School of Fine Arts.
Many of these organizations have a rightful place in our school life and the petty societies that spring up with them can be found in schools to stay while the narrow mind foundeders are on the Hill and then quietly pass into the deep seclusion from which they sprung, have no right to speak to or interact with the truly honorary societies.
ON JEWELLED VEST FRONTS
There is entirely too much secret society jewelry on the vests of the men of the University. The lure of dark scary creepy and the professed obedience to dust covered mediaeval ritualistic statutes has brought about the formation of too many Greek letter and similar societies. It is a fact that the University has been owned by University for four years and leaves it with an unweeded front.
—Interested.
MR. FACULTY MAN——?
Editor Daily Kansan:
I wish to take this opportunity to
that the University Club is
"atstiny."
To import a man from behind the lines—the biggest of the year, who alone out of the multitude of others, had a message from the European front that was not based on economic theory and personal opinion—to import him, I say, and then to hide him in the University Club out of the reach of 200 men who have made a study of international problems privately and through various organizations for self-sufficiency was the extreme limit of selfishness.
I might add that the Jurisprudence and International Polity clubs have made faculty members welcome to the best mirrors they have been able to secure.
—A Senior.
Permit me to register a protest against the failure of the Daily Kansan to chronicle in any way the games of the Hash House League this year. The organization has given the organization wide publicity. This year it has been wholly neglected. A few stories appeared at the time of formation. Since then students would have been unaware of the League's recent information on the Daily Kansan.
WANTED-A PRESS AGENT
At the same time games in both fraternity leagues have been well-presented. Why is this differentiation? Why are these League Games less important as just a interest?
The nature of the Hash House
greatly affected. It has suffered
grearly from this neglect.
It has also shown the inefficiency of the news staff of the Daily Kansan, in games. The Hash House League has not been treated at all justly.
-H. H. Leaguer.
In several of the Kansas colleges, the student body has set aside a day on which everybody is to "act natural." At Ottawa University the day was referred to as "Slouch Day." All natural deocrum with students every day wore the clothes in which he looked the best and felt the easiest.
