Address a. communications to UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kannas.
Phone, Bell K. U. 25.
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 picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the text on paper. 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 help identify the students of the University.

**What, though, you have found to be true?**
You may also say that you ariogy, diligence is the mother of character.
"MASHING?"
University women, says a recent contributor to the Daily Kansan's "Campus Opinion," are becoming afraid to venture down town after dark without an escort. Upon numerous occasions, says the writer of the communication, women going to or returning from the picture shows or post office, have been accosted with "Hello there, girls," or "Ah, there, Mary." And the men guilty of such unconventionalities are, it is claimed, often University men.
That such a state of affairs really exists, seems scarcely possible. Any self respecting young man of the University, even though this may have been his custom of making dates in his home town, should know better than to hope to become acquainted with K. U. women in this manner.
K. U's proximity to Kansas City, with its attendant evils, has always been a source of anxiety to the University authorities. Women from the vice district are said to be making trips to Lawrence with increasing frequency. Perhaps it is these women that students from the Hill attempt to make dates with on the streets of Lawrence. The Lawrence police keep matters in hand as best they can, but they cannot be entirely successful.
That K. U, women should be dragged into any proceedings so disgraceful as street "mashering" is scarcely believable. The students of the University, coming from the best homes in the state, surely would not allow such a state of affairs to exist.
The man who always makes "I'm not always the best pool player.
ADDITION TO LOAN FUND
The Senior play last night was a success, a howling success, according, to many who were given "honorable mention." The play was also a financial success. The Student Council is to receive a percentage of the profits. What will be done with its share?
The Student Loan Fund again suggests itself. No better way could be devised to do a service to the University. Additions to the Loan Fund should be made when ever possible.
Perhaps the man who is always afraid of making a fool of himself realizes that it would not be a very difficult task.
SONG FOR THE WORLD
One hundred men from the New York police force have been organized into a chorus. They meet once a week, and rarely is the attendance less than a hundred per cent efficient. The men like to meet, and those in charge of the department say it promotes better feeling among the men as well as the men and their superiors.
Russia sends her men into battle
singing. The German's "Wacht am Rhine," the Frenchman's "Marseillaise," the Englishman's "Tipperary" are all a part of the war. Singing is recognized as a big factor in keeping the men in good spirits, and satisfied with their surroundings.
Couldn't K. U. have more singing in which all might join?
The Freshmen have one consolation. No one can accuse them of using bad taste in the choice of headgear.
CONSIDER THE DANDELION
Behold the humble dandelion, how it grows. It lies close to the ground and has roots of exceeding length, that it may not be destroyed. It is the curse of gardens and the despair of gardeners, yet it hath its place.
Little children use it to tell whether their platyms have a taste for butter. No of course you never did. It was the old-fashioned child, who rode a stick horse and played with rag dolls and went barefoot, and didn't know what it was to order over a soda fountain bar.
CONSIDER THE DANDELION
To the old-fashioned child the dandelion was a thing of beauty and a sure harbinger of that time when foot-cramping shoes could be discarded, and when dread of coal-oil-sugar as a medicine for colds could be relegated to the background of chopping kindling and carrying in cobs. The coming of the dandelion meant an approach of the joyous wild months of the summer vacation. It brought visions of the "slippery-slide" at the swimmin' [hole, of homemade canoes and fishing with bent pins on a piece of string that came around the Sunday roast.
Yes, times have changed. Possibly it's because the coming of dandelions now means spring shoes eight dollars a pair instead of barefoot orgies in the warm dust.

So here has been dawning another blue
Think with them let it slip useless
Out of eternity this new day is born;
Into eternity at night will return.
Should it aftercareen no eye ever灭

Here hath been dawning another blue

Think thou thou let it useless slip away. —Thomas Carlyle.

Prof. Alfano Aulard, professor of history at the University of Paris, says the French Peasant has been given new life thru new ideas. He is a strong believer in the New France through the education of the peasantry and the growth of international socialism. He says, quoting from the N. Y. Sun;
A REGENERATED FRANCE
In short, we wished to establish in France a model democracy whose influence would win over, among other peoples, the Germans, influencing them to substitute a liberal, modern and pacific government for their absolutist, old-fashioned, warlike government.
Among French democrats the Socialists went so far as to believe that the German people were on the point of entering or had already entered into the democratic condition. Taking seriously certain speeches and certain acts of the German Socialists they candidly believed that the Germans were at one with them to oppose, even by revolt, any war whatsoever, and they would destroy the absolutism of the government of their own country.
It seems to me that you are taking things for granted in your editorial "It's The Little Things That Count," page two, column one, April 26. In the first place do a majority of the women smoke in the presence of someone smoking on the part of their escorts? Personally I do not believe that they do and I do not believe that the man who smokes in the presence of a woman is showing a lack of respect if he has been granted permission. Surely the women of the University are not of the spineless kind that women are supposed to be. I am confident that if they found smoke objectionable that they would say so. We are not living in an age which needs the Blue Laws of Massachusetts and sensible people do not believe that women are forever damned by that they walk with a man who does not smoke. One woman in twenty-five objects to the odor of cigar or cigarette smoke, and that your expression is not in accord with fact. I should like to
Communication must be signed to evidence of good faith but will not be published without permission.
The talks between French and German Socialists came to be frequent. The illusion of a German socialism as the brother of French socialism, the friend of peace at any price, the friend of France, capable of disobeying the dictates of the monarchy, clined to make war, got control of even clear heads in France. Thus the leader of French Socialists, the strongest and the most enlightened mind in French politics since Mirabeau, the late Jean Laize, not only dreamed of a reconciliation with Germany but had also formed a prochèvement was practically realizable, and not far away, as he frequently told me himself.

TOO MANY FRATERNITIES Editor Daily Kansan:
Now that the athletes are to have a fraternity there will be still another "brand" of secret society jewelry on University men's vest. In view of the facts that new honorary and professional fraternities install chapters at K. U. nearly every year, and that there are rumors about them in this class society, it is getting to be a difficult problem for some of the men to find room on their vests for the insignia of their various secret brotherhoods.
In fact, the man who spends four years at Kansas has little chance to go back home with an unjeweled front. There is no room at the University for more secret societies, nor should their organization be encouraged unless they have definite, constructive purposes.
Loked upon in its true light, Sigma Delta Psi is nothing but a moderate test of an all around athlete. If we wish to discover and honor the best athletes of the University, we should teach Greek letter badges upon their vests. Why not let the men compete in an open decathlon where they are given credit for the records they make in each of the ten events. This is the method of competition used at the Olympic games to determine around athletes in the world, and is undoubtedly the best one in existence.
The seniors at Vassar voted last week to abstain the annual custom of choosing the twenty-four prettiest girls of the sophomore class to carry the "daisy chain" on Senior Day. The custom had reduced itself to a vulgar beauty contest. The women at the University of Wisconsin have stopped the various beauty contests there for the same reason.
Fire destroyed the new Engineering Building at the Michigan Agricultural College, Friday. The loss is estimated at $25,000 as there was no insurance on the building. The student city fire department prevented the fire from spreading to the other buildings.
As an advertisement, Lawrence merchants would probably offer prizes to the winners of such a competition. The athletes are not in favor of them. They think it an insufficient test and look upon it as an excuse to bring more fraternity jewelry upon the hill. They think also that it might cause of aristocracy and hard feeling among the members of the athletic teams.
