The Daily Kansan aims to picture students of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the text, it needs to know the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to solve problems to wiser heads. In all, the students of the University

Many estates are spent in the get-together, where spinning and knitting, and men for punck foroook hewing and spitting.

BOOMERANG FOR LANDLADIES
BOOMERANG FOR LANDLADIES
The demand of Lawrence landlades,
on the women of the University who
are, rooming at the various houses,
bring up the question, again, of
the need of dormitories. The women
having rooms to rent have devised the
efforts made in the past to bring about
the erection of a girl's dormitory.
Such stringent rules as have been urged will bring about, sooner than anything else, the building of a "dorm," under University supervision. And when it is built, there will be a much closer "esprit de corps" than there is at present among University women. The "Dorm" will have a tendency to break up the small groups and cliques that attach themselves, as barnacles, to K. U.'s ship of Democracy.
WHAT'S YOUR STATUS QUO?
And while the medicine may be bitter for the present generation, should the rules be adopted, it may lead to agitation for improved conditions, with the result that those women students who come to the University in the future may have the privilege of living in an up to date "dorm" all their own.
No use preaching; you are old enough to know how you stand. But, are you satisfied with your self?
There are only five more weeks before the finals. Are you satisfied with your status quo? A stitch in time saves nine. A little tightening up of the intellectual belt, and a settling down to real study now may keep you from taking the same course over next year.
If you don't believe some people recognize their own weaknesses, just notice the women on the campus who carry dorine boxes.
THE LITTLE THINGS
They were on the way to a "movie," he and his "date." She was keeping up a lively and animated conversation. It dragged for just a moment — but long enough for—
"Do you care if I take a few puff on this "pill" as he pulled a package of cigarettes from his pocket.
It's the little things that count.
TREAT HIM ROYALLY
Have you written that editor y'all about the bunk and three squares a day waiting for him during Newspaper Week?
Every student will be called upon to play the host and every editor who receives the good honest hospitality that has been shown to visitors on similar occasions will become a warm friend of the University.
Appropriations for this institution lie indirectly in the hands of Kansas editors. Good advertising is the best thing in the world and there is no
exception in the case of a university.
Make these visitors, who are all influential men in their respective communities, catch the personal tone of K. U. Give them a glimpse of life as it really exists on Mount Oread. If we can strainen out their wrong conceptions regarding us and the University, they will unconsciously reflect the true spirit of K. U. in a better light.
If you are afraid to risk taking the blame you may be sure you will never have a chance to take any praise.
THE SPANISH SHAKESPEARE
Three hundred years ago last Sunday, there passed from this world, two men whose works have lived after them. William Shakespeare, was the one, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, the other. Each was the greatest genius his race produced in the field of literature.
Strange as it may seem, the two languages which these men handled so ably, which they may be said to have perfected as a means of artistic expression, are the two dominating idiomatic languages of the Western hemisphere.
To Spanish America, Cervantes means more than he does to us of the North. We think of him only as the creator of that adventurous, whimsical, and dauntless knight, Don Quixote. But this one work is enough to make him live forever in the hearts of many.
THE ETERNAL PROBLEM
Thirty-three cents a day is all a Chicago woman considers necessary to live on. Let's see, fifteen cents a day for room rent, ten cents for depreciation or our daws, five cents for cokes; that leaves three cents for the boarding club.
Oh well our C. f. admits that she has never tried her theory out—it just figures that way on paper.

Mind you I'm not saying that a little education isn't a good thing in a college course. I learned a lot of real knowledge in school that I wouldn't have missed for anything, though I have forgotten it now.

Knowledge is a grand thing to have around the house. But nowadays knowledge alone isn't worth as much as having it, and has to mix it up with imagination, and ingenuity and hustle, and nerve, and the science of getting mad at the right time, and a fourteen-year faculty of understanding the other fellow.
The college professors lump all his in one course and call it levitry. They don't put it down in he catalogue and they encourage you cut classes in it.

POETS CORNER
LIFE
Life! I know not what thou art, art,
And when, or how, or where we met;
I own to me a secret yet.
Life! we've been long together;
Through pleasant and through cloudy
Tis hard to part when friends are
Perhaps it will cost a sigh, a tear;
A little less a little warning,
China thing even time.
Say not "Good night," but in some
Bid我 morning,
Bid me good morning,
Benghoud.
What D'ye Know
The following ten questions are
things you should know. But do you?

country?
1. Name the "Hoosier" noet.
2. The world's most famous tenor.
3. A European possession on the main stage.

On three sides of the set were brilliant mercury lights throwing a white and dazzling glare over the scene which made the faces of the players seem white and drawn as if in bright moonlight. Just inside the surrounding banks of lights there was placed on the scene a rubber tube which denoted the boundaries within which the actors could appear without getting out of range of the camera. The bank of light gave way on the surface of the camera in which was placed the camera, shielded of course from the direct rays.
The center fielder gave quick pursuit, running at an angle of, say thirty degrees, to recover the ball. When several yards from the ball,
5. Name the book in the Bible where the ten commandments are found.

The University of Washington Daily is waging a campaign against "horse play" as a part of college fraternity initiations.
The camera man slowly turned the crank, Miss Clark and her supporters, who in this case were children, played with her as she walked over. It took hardly five minutes.
MAKING MOTION PICTURES
"it's just my luck," says many a man, when in reality there is no luck to it. Baseball is called "luck" often times but there is a great deal of "inside baseball" to account for the success of a certain play. The following, told by a Michigan Alumnus, illustrates the point:
MAKING MOTION PICTURES
Motion picture fans attend the shows in which their favorite actors are to be depicted. A peep at the workhouse, behind the scenes is interesting. Many deceiving scenes are worked up to deceive the audience with the aid of a bit of stage setting.
The following from the N. Y. Sun;
The first thing which happened to catch the reporter's eye was Marguerite Clark in one of the far off corners of the studio. She was just then busily engaged in falling off a hay rick in a little old barn. She was dressed as the queen of the fairies. The scene was set to the smallest detail. Hay and straw hung from the rafters and peeped from between the cracks of the walls. Hay was spread profusely on the floor and there were chickens running about on it. Yet the whole ten scene took up an area hardly ten feet square.
BASEBALL "LUCK"
It was within very recent years, and during the spring training in the south, that an unusual play occurred in a game of baseball between a major league club with which I happened to be connected, and a minor league club with which I had fought throughout, and the score in the later innings very close. Some of the men engaged were what we call recruits, and both the recruits and the old men were trying with might and main to show that skill which would secure retention on the team. The other players surplus players eager to into the game. There was, in fact, every reason to suppose that each man was doing his best. One of the older players of our club, a very fast runner and easily able to bat the ball the farthest, hit what was called a liner, a low, hard drive—this one is about 30 inches wide and fielder. It looked at once to be a home run, as there was no enclosing fence to stop the ball.

Then I continued, "Red, how did you turn the burn at first?" "Wrong," said he, "wrong. It threw me out thirty feet beyond the line in making my turn." He meant that by not making a proper turn before reaching first, and, if possible, turning the fire down to room temperature too, he was compelled to run much further toward right field before getting himself turned toward second.

I was interested in the runner, who, brushing his trousers as he passed me, said, "Well, there is just my luck." The next inning, I saw this player on his way to the bench, and asked that play last inning; did you break straight at plate? "I" "did not notice," he said, "but I did look at the ball, I guess." And I replied, "Exactly." It is a habit of many players at bat to look at the ball after hitting it, and by so doing so lose speed in starting, and direction in running as well. Such movement can help ninety-five feet in reaching first base, a straight line distance of ninety feet.

One big pitcher, I recall, after verbally assaulting his god of ill-fortune in almost every conceivable manner, turned to me and said, "There! There you are. Started all alone." Then he slowly went his way far down the field where he gloomily stayed the rest of the afternoon, alone.
and slightly behind it, the player was seen to change his direction slightly to reach out and grasp firmly a flying ball. I have never seen a like coincidence. The ball had struck a stone, and was bounced by it up and back to the right, almost into the very hands of the fielder. We—well, he bent towards the diamond he threw the ball, not knowing accurately what point the ball would reach, and probably not thinking of the objective point of the play. He made a remarkable throw. Straight it went toward third, and bouncing along those last few yards, I did think the runners were ready for "Red" slid—a "fall-way" slide, the boys call it—the right. The dust cleared and I saw the umpire with his thumb over his shoulder, and all the world knows he had called the runner "out." Groans came from the bench. "Hard luck," was generally repeated, and from one came. "Did you ever win?" "Yes," he said. "The breaks are against us," an off-repeal remark in a losing game.
"Did you see that? I thought it was a sure home run." "Yes," I replied, "but every base-runner should make his plays, assuming that every break would be against him." It is never the player's fault then if he loses. He could have made his play. In the world did you slide to the right and directly into the baseman, who was outside the bag, instead of to the left, and away from the play?" I waited for no answer, but I thought of all the condolences and sympathy given to Red by the boys—of his remark that "It was just his luck." Then I walked up to the grass down the field, who had forecast a bad season on account of Billiken helping out a minor league club with a stone. I walked away saying, "Four chances to make your own luck, any one of which, played properly, would have made a decision by the ampire at third unnecessary, and all four of which, played properly, would have made a decision by the plate instead of third." He could have made his "breaks." It was a losing play.
