The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than mere printing the news in the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courteous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to be fair; to satisfy the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, MAY 10, 1916.
THE COUNCIL'S OPPORTUNITY
The newly elected president of the Student Council and the members from the various schools, can, if they are leaders and are industrious, bring the Student Council back to its old place in the undergraduate life of the University.
Students are disguised with the willy-nilly, wishy-washy policy of the past, and are loking forward to greater things, things that will in some way give voice to the latent desire for unified expression, whether the expression be in government, or in some common activity or student institution. Sentiment is ripe—a leader is needed.
First, a co-op bookstore should be the goal. The test made by this year's Council has proved its need. It will require real work if anything tangible is to result, however.
Next year is a legislative year. The University will need money, equipment, buildings to care for the continually increasing number of students. The Council should organize a movement to make the voice of 2,500 students heard all over the state. It will require organization, however, not county clubs whose function ceases when they have met and chosen an executive. And it will take a genuine leader, and not a politician, at the head of the movement.
These are but two of a multitude of things. Many more could be enumerated.
The Council should realize that if it waits for someone to come and urge it to act, to tell it what to do, or to give it authority, it will wait in vain. Responsibilities come to those who assume them. With this comes confidence, and if the Council really does things it will find a unified stude sentiment to back it up.
Billy Sunday says that culture did not save ancient Greece. A downtown newspaper points out that by the same token religion did not save Palestine nor the Jewish race.
LAST STAND OF MEDIAEVALISM
Along about the year 1800 the president of Yale University decided that it was time the institution of which he was head should begin to teach natural science. No college or university in the United States had such instruction at that time.
So great was the protest voiced by the religious people of the country, that he dared not make a public appointment but was forced to name a man for the chair of natural science in secret. Teaching was begun some time later.
Picture the University of Kansas at the present time with no classes in geology, biology, or kindred subjects.
And yet there are those today, after the natural sciences have brought untold and inestimable benefit to mankind, who contend against teachings that all scientific men of the world know are true—the they contend in the name of religion. Religion and science are not enemies, they are allies. The old idea that caused the
A man who will scream out against science from the religious platform today is a detriment to the advance of civilization.
persecution of Gallileo should have been wrapped in its shroud long, long ago.
Religion which retards progress is not religion. It is buncubb.
Yet, in this day of our Lord, May 10, 1916, the light still struggling to break through the clouds of tenacious ignorance.
PULCHRITUDINOUS PROFS
Spring time, dress-up week, moonlight nights, grass and flowers are all having an effect on the University, but it is paradoxical that the men of the faculty should be the first to show the psychological effect in their dress. Youth is supposed to be most responsive to outside influences, most susceptible to suggestion, and anyone but a nature faker would imagine that such a supposition is correct. It isn't.
A careful estimate of percentages will show that more faculty men than students have new suits, more of them carry canes, more of them wear flowers in their button-holes, more of them change ties every day, and more of them have a general fashion-pins appearance. They shape offender, they wear more jewelry, and they are more careful to keep their shoes shined.
Pulchritude and scholasticism go hand in hand—truly this is education up-to-date.

COMMON SENSE AND CIGARETTES
This is in defense of the loathsome cigarette. In all the world of enemies, the poor little thing cries for a defender. There is no institution for the happiness of the human race that is more popular and more beloved, that has fewer friends who are not afraid to come into the open, than the littered trash pile. The worm so accurately given vent to their feelings in this column are voicing popular opinion. I wish to voice the inaudible opinion.
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The cigarette is not as annoying to the fair maidens as some of our friends state. There is a very small percent of us that have not been reared in the fumes of father's "twowr" cigar, and we have thought nothing of it. We have rave at the smoke of a delicate cigarette that compares to father's cigar, as does the odor of mint to boiling cabbage and onions combined. The only time that the average woman ever got sick from the smoke of a cigarette
There are some women who do find the smoke of tobacco unpleasant. I have noticed that few of them must tell to their men friends. There are not a dozen men on the Hill who will not stop smoking in a girl's presence if requested. If smoke makes a woman sick she has every right to object to it. If the objecting causes her to lose that particular man friend, she is suffering no great loss. A man who has been refused to refrain from smoking in her presence when she has a good reason for wishing him to be not worth enduring.
was the time that she sneaked into the bath room and tried out the Fat-Tiger bath.
But the truth of the matter is this, try it out on your sweet heart and your room mate and see if they do not agree with me. The average girl wonders why she always gets the please and never gives the matter a thought. They do not care down in their hearts. There are many of us that enjoy the scent of a good cigar wafted to us upon the evening breeze as much as the smoker himself. To many of us the scent of tobacco is all we like, but the boys on the north in the evening.
I do not wish to defend smoking. I think it is an extravagant habit and wastes a dad of father's money that could be used at home on mother very handily. But I do not object any more to boys smoking than I do to girls spending small fortunes for cokes and sundaes.
I have voiced the truth that lies in the heart of ninety-nine per cent of us. It is only the style to "bless out" cigarettes.
But we hear harangues against smoking, and we get the feeling some how that nice girls hate tobacco, that it is a smirch upon us because we do not care. We want the men we know to smoke, but they allow them to smoke in peace, they will think that we are not the right sort of girls. And so we raise a cry and talk against it. And the truth of the whole matter lies in the fact that many people obey to smoke to prove our good breeding and tender maidenhood.

DEPLORES PICTURE ARRANGE
When DePauw University dedicated a new modern gymnasium recently the day was declared a holiday. The school's campus is also named as the Bowman Memorial gymnasium.
A botanical library and herbarium valued at $35,000, has been presented to Notre Dame University by Professor Green, a member of the faculty. The library, consisting of 5,000 volumes, is one of the largest of its kind in the west. The herbarium comprises 150,000 plants.
It is a lamentable and inexcusable fact that the managers of this year's Jayhawkwer departed from the time-honored and customary arrangements of fraternities. They are apparently placed without rhyme or reason, except that in one instance there is good reason to suspect that priority was given because of personal preference.
Editor Daily Kansan:
It has been the custom in Kansas, as well as in other universities, to arrange fraternities in the year book in order of their foundation in the institution. It is hoped that the plan will be followed here in the future.

That through its work on Kansas insect problems, begun in 1872, the University of Kansas has returned in economic value to the state an amount considered as high as the out-of-cost of the institution and its foundation?
Students who, in the course of their rambles about the campus in spring time, spend much of their time in searching for four-leaf clovers, would be rather impressed with their past achievements and tradition from which the practice springs. Early Buddist书 show that it was generally conceded that trees had souls and therefore could not be lawfully injured. However there were those who took the opposite view and arrose over the question ended in a victory for those of the latter belief. These people who choose such principles, instead of political questions, as matters for public controversy were the ones who originated the idea that clover was a mystic plant and that the destiny of those persons who took sufficient interest in it to place the four leaf plants in their shoes. But in this age of cramped feet
But in this age of cramped feet the foot is most comfortable for the footleaf clove except as an exercise.
