The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely printing the news, by making the University hold; 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 the university satisfy the students of the University.

THE SNAKES HEAD AND TAIL
The Snake's Tail had a quarrel with the Snake to walk in front. The Head said, because you have no eyes and no ears, because you have no eyes and no ears.
"I've met I have. struggle the I move, I
even but I have. struggle the I move, I
about a tree, and you cannot get off the
ground."
The Head said: ...
"Let us separate," he said, himself loose from the Head and crept on; but the moment he got away from the Head, he fell into a hole and was lost.
IT'S A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
ITS A PRACTICAL SUGGESTION
The graduating classes of the University of Wisconsin, of Ohio State, of Stanford, of the University of Washington, and of Indiana, are this year raising money for the student Loan. Fund as the memorial to be left to their respective Alma Maters. Scores of other colleges have already taken this form of memorial as the most sensitive and the one worthy of supprt.
The senior class at Ohio State is raising $1500 to apply toward the fund. The class has set itself on record as in favor of a "fresh and blood" memorial, one that will continue to bring and keep students in Ohio State, one that will help to lift Ohio State above those schools that continue to follow the traditional plan of cluttering the campus with senseless bric-a-brac.
When graduated from their respective high schools, the members of the present senior class, probably participated in leaving behind some donation in the form of a class memorial. Perhaps it was a rug for the chapel platform, perhaps a clock, or it might have been a picture. Such gifts are not called for at a larger institution of learning, as is the University of Kansas.
And how many seniors can remember what it was their class really did add to the equipment of the school, to which future generations of high school students may look with admiration? The objection to a Student Loan Fund memorial is that it is an intangible form which is unrecognizable by succeeding classes. Suppose it is? The fact still remains that it is in a form where it will really do some constructive good; not only for the University, but for the many students who may be helped. The students borrowing money of the fund pay four per cent interest on it until paid back. The memorial, then, is a constantly growing one, and always in use.
If we must have some tangible evidence that a memorial was left by the classes as they are graduated, a tablet bearing the inscription of the class numerals, together with the amount contributed to the University Loan Fund, might be placed in a prominent position in Fraser chapel.
The loan fund memorial should be given serious consideration.

IS IT GOOD ADVERTISING?
15 11 12 K. U. will be going home to see the Old Home Town, and all the folks, over the Easter vacation. Of course K. U. will make a good appearance, too good, perhaps. John's sporty tie,
his extreme English suit, his jaunty cap, his loud hosse, his blase appearance of boredom will not be acceptable to the Home Town Boys. Mary's mincing prance in her new white or cream colored dress shoes, her abbreviated full skirt which just barely reaches the shoes, her pre-Easter Spring bonnet, and her Vanity Fair air, will be viewed suspiciously by the Home Town Girls.
The Home Town Folks are antagonistic to John and Mary, if the Home Town happens to be small, it resents the self-assured manner which John uses when he says the Little Old Town hasn't grown or changed any. They are irritated by having Mary tell them how it is done at the University.
And on Easter they will say "There she goes, there she goes, all dressed up in her K_| U. clothes."
"That man that has a tongue, I say is no man.
If with his tongue he cannot win a woman."—Two Gentlemen of Verona.
WE'RE CIVILIZED NOW
“Pax vobiscum” said the knight of the Dark Ages, as in his courtly way, he wished you the passing of the day. The Dark Ages were filled with strife, so much so that the Church was obliged to issue a decree, a Truce of God, during which it was unlawful to engage in combat.
Yet honor and chivalry hold sway.
"Pax vobiscum," says the German Boche as he lunges at a French Pierre or an English Tommy during a spirited charge. The present age does not give us a second during the week which might be used for rest. The whole civilized world, with few exceptions, scorns "Pax vobiscum."
Yet ours is an age of civilization.
Tetours is an agile to-
nment. "Tax vobiscum," says the Mexican peon as he brutally murders a Gringo, an American Pig. The lust for blood, the desire for power and the Mexican is not above it.
"Pax vobiscum," mumbled the ancient Monk as he dropped his beads and wished a "peace be with you," upon the passerby.
THOSE WONDROUS WISE PROFS
The following, clipped from the society column of the Topeka State Journal is a gross libel, of course but—but—do you suppose they really did it?
A great joke is going the rounds in federation circles. This week a mondrous wise university professor gave a profound lecture before the club women. Last winter another university professor of equal wisdom gave before a local club the identical many of the same women heard the lecture, and they had listened to a few weeks viiously. Their interest in it consists in the puzzle as to which of the two wise gentlemen composed it.

There was little need of worry in those days when all was velvet and red roses. It was round of cheer from sun up to sun set. Apprentices and shop peekers did the work. At the time and whole pretty verses lauded sweet rose bowers as they picked at some light air from their mandolins.

CAMPUS OPINION
A poet can scarcely be expected to be poetically inclined when he must pay nine-hundred dollars for a peep at a first class modern-day bout, or pay at the rate of two cents for the account of the same written by those who have not the slightest knowledge of poetic justice.
Communications must be staged as evidences of good rat but names will not be published if rat is present.
GLEE CLUB ADVERTISING Editor of the Daily Konsultant
The K. U. Glee Club appeared in concert last Thursday night. They appeared again at concession Friday morning. Both times they sang well. I've heard other folks say that the concert given by the club Thurs- was better than those given by club Mon- who this is true, why haven't we heard from the Glee Club before? Why haven't they shown them were alive? Clubs in other schools advertise their Alma Mater by making concert tours over the state and immediate vicinity. It influenced me to come to K. U. was hitched to club when Clarence Sowers appeared as "Harry Lauder," in my home town.
The Glee Club concerts in the smaller towns are mighty good adven- tures.
In the days of the good Queen Bess the barber-surgeons did dress sword wounds received in street frays, cut hair and starch beards, curl mustaches, and tie up love-fuld but ditchers blow and stretch their ribs to stale lights with fresh blood; in the days of Shakespeare the aspiring young writers had their promenade and exchange of news at Paul's, the daily pageants, the trooping of ladies and gallants in velvets and golden chains passing from Whitehall to the city, moving in bower boats along the silverway, and damsels that neither needed to mix biscuit dough or to take the dictates of a poet-fnancier in the sixtieth story of a skyscraper. The Londoner might have spent the day fishing for salmon, an afternoon at the bull ring, or bear batting, or at the theater, or at the court, or gambling and drinking at one of the Breed Street tavernas.
MEN ARE AS THE TIME
"And worse I may be yet: the

Glee Club Enthusiast.
How can a poet write poetically when the scales of justice dispatch to the hereafter a husband, who has put away his wife's lover in the true Elizabethan style, by subjecting him to a few thousand volts of retributive force, by taking romantic about an electric light that will do justice to a young poet. In the days of the pompous Queen the court ledgers might read at the close of the day's work, "Today there has been bloody work in the Tower; there are three new heads on the wall; the doors are on every city gate." Can one wonder that Shakespeare after witnessing such daily sights preferred to have Polonius run through with the sword, and preferred to have foul death fall heavily on the head of Banquo? Even the work of the submarines of our Young Turks and our submarines will not rival such a life.
MEN ARE AS THE TIME
Unfruitful are the times that we live in. How can any present day young aspirant to the laurels of the pen ever hope to o'ertop the pressure of the one-time William Shakos-ness of the present day is not in the mood of the new.
In the days of Shakespeare "the sheriffs had to make peace; two men were killed, and many heads were shot." The soldiers' feast, the wrestling in Clerkwell, and the Lord Mayor's opening Bartholomew fair and St. James' fair in the same week. The cups too fast, and the wine was potent."
So long as we may say 'This is the worst.'
He liven in the time of romance, when it was had for the asking. We live in the common, commonest day when even the breaking of the head of the commonest cur dog will transcribe the violator of the laws and custom of mankind, the arrow confines of an electric lighted and machine riveted iron cell.
loll beneath rose bowers. Poets, if there be any, buy their meals with an hour's work of yesterday. Even the rich must work, for when they have no romance, no breaking of heads, nor no stretching of hams about which they might grow poetical, they must be content with工作; and their meals may be sufficiently lined and their homes repaired with greenbacks.

This is the scientific age. Not a time for Shakespeare. To have such he in this day, one would need to attend school full three score and ten years. Poets are no longer born; they are made, scientifically brad. We no longer have art for their bodies. The poet would no longer dare to say "to牙 of dragon, ear of dog," for it is unscientific.
Let the poets rave. The dollar first, is our slogan.
