Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansan aims to plea for students to go to the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the text on paper; to the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to participate in faculty, to the students of the University.

LIBRARY READINGS UP?
That is a question bothering many a student these days; and the librarian and her cohorts can answer the question better than anyone.
Just about this time several hundred students begin to remember that they are supposed to be in certain classes about the University and that the day of reckoning is not far away. Twelfth-hour students are working night and day on notes and it has been necessary to put on extra library help.
THE PRICE OF TIME
There should be a lesson in this; but, what's the use? It happens this way every year.
The time of parting is nearly upon us and we are very sad. From farm, village and city we came last fall to learn wisdom at the feet of the gods on Mount Oread. We have been four months and a half and a glorious time has been ours.
From late in the morning until late in the night we have frolicked about the heights. Our lives have been free from care and we have been fed on the best that the town affords. We have slept, whenever we did sleep, on beds of virginal white and downy softness and we have been clad in purple and fine linen. For entertainment we have had picture shows, dates, theatres, football games, basketball games, games of other sorts and occasionally a class or two. The time has come when we must leave it all behind and therefore our hearts are as lead within our bosoms.
Who, you ask, are we?
We are the disciples of folly, the followers of frivolity, the worshipers of pleasure. Our heaven is amusement and our hell is work. We are a heterogeneous body. We come from everywhere and when our vacation is ended we go back to the places from whence we came. In a week we will leave you, not because we are tired of the University but because the University is tired of us. We will think of you in days to come and hope that you have profited by knowing us.
EDUCATION AND DOLLARS
The time of year has arrived when University graduates begin to put a money value upon an education. What is this thing called a university education going to bring me, is the question that the majority of the graduating class are asking themselves now. In spite of the many bits of comfort handed over at various intervals by old, experienced alumni it is a difficult thing for the abut-to-graduate student to convince himself that the prime worth of an education is not to be measured in terms of silver dollars.
Of all the moments of his college life, the most discouraging are here at hand for the student who is about to leave the academic walls after sixteen years and go out to face the world, armed only with a university education. In future years when facing the world is an established day's work, the present time will seem full
of foolish cares, but at present these worries loom as large as mountains. Time, only, lends a perspective.
WHAT ABOUT FATHER?
The average father succeeds pretty well in discharging his duty to society. He labors along persistently and quietly for six days a week that his family may be provided for; he stands between his family and the police, the school, the office of the rent, the taxes, the grocery and coal bills; he admonishes the boy and advises mother, seeking always to make his burden lighter; he works unceasingly, without complaint fighting scheming to the end that his family may be assured comfort and relief from his problems, if he somehow fails, but he keeps all things cheerfully, stolpid, stubbornly plugging along to the end.
The sacrifices that must be made he makes willingly. The boy must go to college and the girl must have music lessons; something must be cut and removed from his life, that perishes by the way side. He is not so poetical a figure as mother, not so demonstrative in his affections, so elated in pleasure, so deprest in grief. And yet we will remember him when we come home there, that stands out, clear and distinct, as one of youth's happiest impressions...Indianapolis News.

POET'S CORNER
Robert Green was a true Eliza bethan Englishman. He was born about 1560 in Norwich and belonged to a family of standing. He received his education at Cambridge, securing the degrees of A.B. and A.M. After the completion of his college career, he moved to Italy where the dissolute habits that later proved his ruin. He died in 1592 after an orgy.
Later he went to London where he was an author of plays and a penner of poems and love pamphlets. His first work, "The Repentances," the Elizabethan period, "the "Repentences," one of his first works were written to warn the young男 of the unhappy example of his own life.

CRITICISE "COMMON SENSE"
Where a silent stream did glide
Muse I made of many things
That the mind in quiet brings
I 'gan to think how some men deem
Gold is their God, and esteem
Honor is the chief content
Life like the ocean that eat
And some others do contend;
Others hold their no wealth
Compared to perfect health
Some man's mind in quiet stands,
When he is lord of many lands,
But I did sigh, and said all this
When he was born,
And in my thoughts I did provove
Naught so sweet is true love.
In response to the article, Common Sense and Cigarettes, appearing in this column in a recent issue, I wish to congratulate the author as getting off one of the best examples of a pussyfooting argument that has ever dared to creep into print through the means of an honest K. U. woman. The most prominent fallacy in her argument is this. "There is no institution that is more popular than the human race that is more populous than those loved and has fewer friends than the poor little cigarette." Now is this truth? Now, follows the next step in the argument which shows that she herself doesn't believe the statement
to be true; because she says "The women who have lately given vent to their feeling in the denunciation of the cigarette are voicing popular opinion." Where is the logic? If the cigarette is so very popular here then why would its denunciations be one of these statements are true the one nullify the other. I think both of them are falsehoods.
Another statement I dare her to prove is this, "Few of us have not been reenamed in the fumes of father's hair. Now I want to ask her unsophisticated girl if she thinks that whatever her father and brother might be capable of doing should be tolerated by a woman who lives every other man for her suitor's sake."
Should she make the degree of moral perversion to which a brother might fall and often has fallen the guage for every other young man? The answer is not a simple theory but there was a streak of moral perversion in himself.
Construing this article from its four corners, it is obvious that this woman either stands-for a double standard in society or she will have to admit that yellow fingers in University womenhood is perfectly proper.
Now if she stands for a double standard in society and yet is not going to put the burden of self restraint on the girl, I want to ask who is going to "put on the brakes." Its a proven fact that cigarette smokers' brakes allow things to slide down hill pretty rapidly.
Now here is where she "pusy-foots." She admits that a cigarette smoker shouldn't be tolerated in the workplace, because she asks to smoke, yet criticizes the girl who asks a boy to be a gentleman in her presence. To be a gentleman ought to be sufficient reason for any girl not to smoke or to smoke in her presence is it not?
She says she has enjoyed cigarette smoke in the bath room and then granting if the boy likes the smoke also, the limit of their enjoyment is a sufficient criterion for decency. In her arguments she says nothing about her mother as being a criterion. Why shouldn't she be considered?
After reading between the lines on, this article it wouldn't surprise me if this article is either one of two things, a paid ad, or from a little by two for sissy man. It reads like a paid ad, looks like a paid ad, tastes like a paid ad and whew! I believe it is a paid ad because it's reason I have to thank have it is the tenor of the whole argument and of this in particular, "But the truth of the whole matter is this, try it out on your sweetheart" she probably won't care because her father and brother smokes and besides its no worse for the boys to smoke than it is for the girls to spend small fortunes for cokes and sundays." then to cap the climax this cynical remark they must object to the tender mannerhood. That's regrettable it isn't. Yes sir, I believe the truth of the whole matter lies in the fact that the girls will have to object to smoking to prove their good breeding and respectable womanhood.
DUFFUS CORRECTS STATEMEN
The Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Imper Sir.
I note in your issue of Friday, May 12th, a story relating to the high cost of living which is alleged to have come from one of my classes. No student in any of my classes ever handed in a paper such as the one you refer to and I don't believe that any of my students would be guilty of such a act. I have had no excuse and at best, a very feeble joke. I have had no occasion to make the comment ascribed to me and I did not make it.
The students whom t have had in my classes deport themselves in the class-room like men and women—not like high-school freshmen—and it is, to say the least, unjust to them and to the instructor to publish stories like the one in question even as well-meant pleasantry.
Jack.
In passing I cannot refrain from remarking that it is regrettable that the columns of the Daily Kansan must be padded with cheap vauids ville stuff when important lectures are presented at University and other University events of real importance pass unreported in the Kansan.
Broad-Minded.
We naturally expect crooks, graffers and booze sympathizers to be little Billy Sunday, but it's surprising how much the University professors in the University attack his great work, because his methods do not conform to their cut and dried ideas of helping people to live better. If we can't boost let's keep quiet.
Yours respectfully, William M. Duffus

Criminals eat bread and butter. It is wrong to smoke.
CIGARETTE LOGIC
Editor Daily Kansan:
Criminals smoke
Therefore it is wrong to eat bread and butter.
Inference (no it is not no wrong to eat bread and butter, neither is it wrong
Drunkards drink intoxicants
A Really Great Idea for Men of Refinement
COAT and pants all in one piece! Looks like a regular two-piece pajama! No draw strings around waist to annoy you! Coat cannot ride up! Has the comfortable Correct Cut Closed Crotch.
THE ONE-PIECE CORRECT CUT CLOSED CROTCH PAJAMA
Two garments (coat and pants) made into one that most successfully gives the appearance of two, and, added to that, the Correct Crotch Closed Crotch feature that has carried Varsity Union Suits into the highest kind of favor. The One-Piece Pajama is good looking—it is easy to slip into—has no draw-strings to annoy you by being too tight or too loose, and the Closed Crotch stays closed and comfortable by the use of one button.
Drunkards eat bread and butter.
It is not wrong to eat bread and
butter, neither is it wrong to drink
toxicants.
If you have ever used one-piece pajamas try the Varsity, and see the difference
You pay no more for Varsity "TAILORED—not merely made" garments, but you get more—more in style—more in comfort—more in quality. Be sure to ask for VARSITY.
Thieves steal property.
Thieves eat bread and butter.
It is not wrong to eat bread and
butter, neither is it wrong to steal..
Murders kill people.
Murders eat bread and butter.
It is not wrong to eat bread and
butter, neither is it wrong to kill
people. Thus the logic holds.
