The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in Kansas; to go further than merely printing the text on Kansas; to hold the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courteous; to be accommodating; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to stimulate learning; to satisfy the students of the University.

CRITICISM AND COMMON SENSE
What is news? John D's grandson asked him for a nickel and the Kansas City Times placed the story in the middle of the first page.
The University's examination schedule has come in for an unusually hard panning at the hand of the student body this year. It has been charged that the committee which made out the schedule has used no sense, rhyme or reason in its preparation. It is true that nearly all students will have to stay the entire of quiz week. But—
See first the beam in thine own eye
Did you ever stop to think just how big a task the committee has on its hands? Do you imagine that you could make out a better schedule than the one devised?
IRISH PATRIOTISM
"Sunday Warns; 21 Faint,"— Kansas City Star headline. What did Bill have on his breath, anyhow?
The intensity of the convictions on the Irish patriots was shown again Sunday when James Larkin, the Irish labor leader, attacked an Anglo-Irishman who agreed that England was right in executing James Connelly and thirteen other Irish revolutionists. The Irish who died in Dublin a few weeks ago were not members of a radical minority. They were the leaders of a powerful body of citizens. Their action was backed by a strong and organized public opinion in the Emerald Isle. Right or wrong the Irish patriots have shown a devotion to cause, a courage and a spirit of self-sacrifice that may well serve as a lesson to the entire world.
A lack of practical ability has always been the curse of the patriotic party in Ireland. Its every effort has shown a lamentable lack of cool, practical leadership. For that reason England has always suppressed the uprisings easily. The last venture of Sir Roger Casement and his followers was no exception. The rebellion was quickly and effectually crushed. Its leaders were executed.
Collier's Magazine, in an editorial, believes that England has hurt herself in the eyes of the world by the killing, virtually without trial, most of the revolutionists. It compares the execution to that of Miss Cavell by the Germans and suggests that England cannot now point with a finger of scorn to the Teutonic murderers. Neutral public opinion has revolted at this last proceeding, the writer believes.
He may or may not be right in his contention. He is undoubtedly right in believing that the execution shocked the entire world. There has always been something fine in the unselfish patriotism of the Irish. It has been the finer in that its leaders were idealists—scholars who dreamed great dreams but lacked the punch to make them realities. These idealists have had little success in grappling with the stoil, practical Britons.
They have failed in their dream but have succeeded in that they have furnished an example for th eworld.
A Chicago striker beat an expressman nearly to death with kitchen dishes, according to a story in yesterday's papers. What has become of the rolling pin as a weapon?
GO GET IT MAC!
The fifty-fifty break with Missouri still gives Kansas a fighting chance to win the Missouri Valley baseball championship. But the team must win all the remaining games on its schedule.
Should Kansas lose this year it will break a long string of championships. Coach McCarty has made a wonderful record since he came to the University. He has made the Jayhawker feared on diamonds all over the Valley. Kansas will win again this year; too, the coach believes, if the team has an even break in the luck. Here's honing they have it.
We're all behind Mac and his ball players.
THE FACULTY LECTURES
THE FACULTY LECTURES
When Prof. R. M. Ogden, of the department of psychology, finishsh his lecture next Thursday afternoon the last of the faculty lectures of the year will have been given. The last opportunity to hear at home some of the men who have made the faculty of the University of Kansas famous will have passed.
The faculty lecture series this year has been particularly good. We will miss many of the speakers next year, particularly Professors Becker and Ogden. Both of these men have gained places in the hearts of their students. It is with regret that the Kansan sees them leave K. U.

OMAR KHAYYAM
Omar Khayyam, the poet-astronomer-tentmaker, of Naishapur, in Persia, is known wherever the English language is spoken, by the man on the street and the student of literature alike. His quattrains have attained their wide circulation largely through his translations of Lord Fitzgerald, of Ireland, which are the best and most poetical of several renditions. Little is known of the life of the genial Persian philosopher, other than that he had a profound mind, hated sham, suffered much and in the end came to know happiness. The threads of the story of his life have been woven into a pretty romantic tale, and this compact made by three students in the garden of their teacher, made much of in this drama, is supposed to have been true.

THAT QUIZ SCHEDULE Editor Daily Kansan:
The examination schedule this year is an outrage and is going to keep nearly every student in the University campus the whole of quiz I believe we ought to have a voice in the making out of the schedule next year.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
CAMPUS OPINION
Poor Student.
I want to register my kick on the examination schedule. Why on earth must we remain here until Friday evening before we may take the last examination. Practically the whole school is being held over this year by day after day, unless obviously the majority are able to leave by the middle of the week. Is there any necessity for such conditions?

A DEAD CLASS Editor Daily Kanzan+
WANT ADS.
The senior class, when it started out this fall was going to do great things. It was to have a number of get together meetings. It now had a good president (elected by the machine crowd) and it intended to show up the classes of the past. And it has become more than anything else. Of all dead classes of tongue or pen, the deadest is this class of 1916. Of course it is not the individual members of the class who are to blame. The officers are the ones who are supposed to keep things stirred up. Yes, I will admit it. We did have one good mixer—along the first of the year when we were playing for the New braska football game. And we did work on some neo too.
TOO MANY SOCIETIES Edtor Daily Kansan:
Of course you'll want to go home looking right. Let Schulz fit you.
I'll admit I'm not perfect, so perhaps I have no reason to raise a bow. But what I would like to know, is, what on earth the University of Kansas needs of so many honor institution students, because it has an hon society, which is nothing more or less than a little politics, whereby the "ins" agree to take you in providing you come across with a little political pulling of wires for some man they are boosting for an office. And now comes Ahokus. We already have the White Crowes, the black Crows and the thousand and one supposedly honorary fraternities. Truly K. U. is becoming an honor school.
