The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the class, and to thereby more than merely printing the book, in mind for the ideals the University teaches, for the favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be a generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve its mission; to identify the university of the University.

THE PEASANT AND THE WATER-
FLOWING
SPRITE
A Peasant lost his axe in the river, down on the bank in griet, and began to dig. The Water-Sprite heard the Peasant say, "Get gold axe out of the river and said, 'If I don't dig, it will be mine.' The Peasant said: "No, it is not mine." The Water-Sprite brought another, a silver one. Again the Peasant said: "It is not my axe." Then the Water-Sprite brought out the peasant, who said, "The Peasant said: 'Now this is my axe.' The Water-Sprite made the Peasant an ox, gave him three axes, for having told the truth. At home the Peasant showed his axe, and told them what had happened to his. One of the Peasant made up his axe, and purposely threw his axe into the river purposefully threw his axe into the river, down on the bank and began to dig. The Water-Sprite brought out a gold axe and then digged down on the bank and began to dig. The Water-Sprite brought out a gold axe and then digged down on the bank and called
The Water-Sprite did not give him what he wanted, either, because he had told an author, either, because he had told a man.

A NEW ENTERPRISE
After years of planning and hoping, K. U. is at least falling into line behind the other universities of the country which have co-operative book stores. Such a store has been promised for next year. In all other schools such stores have been successful
Those who are behind the movement have had a hard fight to interest enough capital to put the store into operation. Still harder work will be required before the store is fully established. The plan is feasible, the professors who have been asked to take stock have signified their willingness to back the plan with as much capital as is needed. They realize the importance of such an institution to the University.
With a purchase amounting to twenty-five cents or more, the student will be allowed a percentage of the dividends. The profit sharing plan to be followed will enable the students to buy their books at lower prices. As the store becomes thoroughly established, its scope may be broadened, other articles being added as the need is shown.
When the faculty is offered stock next fall, the students, too, should be allowed to invest should they care to. A co-op stair should have as many stock-holders as possible There should be no restriction. Blocks of stock, with a minimum of $5, or even of $1 could be offered to the students. Several thousand dollars could easily be raised in this way, and the student body would feel as if it were financing its own store.

HAIL TO RODKEY
And now comes the announcement that Fred Rodkey, Kansas star distance man, may be obliged to withdraw from track work temporarily, perhaps permanently.
The old saying, "We never miss the sunshine until the shadows fall," is again applicable. Rodkey has given Kansas his best. He has helped put K. U. on the map, as having one of the best track teams in the country. Rod-
key's running was taken as a matter of course. Not until he is forced to withdraw in his worth brought home to use.
The whole University wishes Rev
key a speedy recovery.
A PLAIN, PLUG SUCCESS.
A PLAIN, PLUG SUCCESS
It has often been said that a university is measured by the success of its graduates. Assuming this to be true, the question of what is a successful graduate arises. The usual answer is that the successful grad is the one who has gone out from the university, made a great name for himself and is much in public life.
But is this the real type of grad, and is he the most successful? All are proud of him and his achievements. His being in the public eye helps to bring his Alma Mater to notice. Many attribute his success to his university training. However, while they sing his praises, they overlook the "just plain grad."
This type may also be a great success in life and still be practically unheard of after graduation, except in his own community. Like the "popular grad," the "plain grad" owes his success to his university. The fact that he doesn't get national applause is no reason for calling him a failure. The thousands of "just plain" K. U. grads, who are making good as American citizens, are the University's best asset—they are the typical grads and the successful ones, too.

OLCOTT RUNNING WHEAT CROFT
The following outburst, clipped from the Ellis County News, shows the sentiment of the wheat district; "Couch Olcott of K. U. says that football players should avoid harvest work because after a summer spent in the harvest field they are not in good condition to play football. Sure Herrman! Let us have a good football team at the University even if we have to let the women save the wheat. What is the use of paying taxes to support a university if it cannot turn out a winning football队?
"Now wouldn't you like to see dad's face along about two days before harvest when he has one hundred acres of good wheat, only half a crew and no chance to get more men, as son, fresh from college, gently breaks the news to the old gentleman that he cannot work in harvest because it may give him spain, ring bone, or ingrawing toe-nails so that he will not be in prime condition for football?"

In an article in its columns, the University Missouriian finds out that Missouri leads in the number of A. B degrees bestowed upon the faculty of the school, Harvard in the A. M's, and John Hopkins in the Ph. D's.
POET'S CORNER
PORTIA'S SPEECH ON MERCY
PORITA'S SPEECH ON MEI
The tatteriness of mercy is not strand'n,
it drips the gentle rain from heaven
It drips place beneath. It is twice bleet;
it bites him that gives and him that takes.
Tis munghest in the snightest; it becomes
the throned monarch better than his
His scepter shows the force of tem-
perature. The attribute to save and majesty.
Wherein doth sit the dread and fear of but Mercy is above this sceptered mercy. It is enthroned in the hearts of kings,
and earthly power doth then show
And earthly power doth then show
When mercy seasons justice.
Perplexed.
This is not told in a spirit of unfavorable criticism but because the author believes that the hospital is not fulfilling its entire duty. Isn't probable that a more complete equipment is needed, and that the physician will be forced to devote to her duties at the hospital? I am told that they are only there at certain hours of the day, that they do not make calls, and that they furnish no medicine. I should like very much to know the facts of the case. If we are to be required to pay a hospital fee it seems only fair that we are to get for our money. I have articles in the Kansan, published last September, and do not find answers to my questions in them.

SUNDAY AFTERNOON
CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed on evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent
Oh no, they will find out later—when they graduate—what the real world offers and needs. If there were a summer school, a Sunday would be needed. No, but he tapes, K. U. would be satisfied with men who speak but the classical lingo.

LET SUNDAY TELL US Editor Daily Kansan:
Billy Sunday has been criticised pr and con in "Campus Opinion." And up to date the criticism (con) has been quite childish. From the drift of the discussion it seems that Billy Sunday has a financial speaker that in one talk to the staff of the university of Kansas he will undo all that graceful use of the English tongue that has been so laboriously instilled into the youthful minds. Indeed there is grave danger that if the University of Kansas should set its "stamp of an educational day" by inviting him here many of the sons and daughters of Kansas would cease to indulge in artificialities and insincerities, and become frank and laborsers in the master's vineyard. Perhaps so. But going on to the real point. Billy Sunday is a man with an education. He is a man who deals with the way that gets results. In other words Billy Sunday, "Delivers the Goods." And no doubt he will throw a sort of the genuine, "brass tricks" sort of thing at K. U. students. Oh yes, he does not be the stums, saloons and vices of all the schools. Is visible, is it, that cultured K. U., students be permitts to listen to that sort of thing?
I would appreciate it very much if your paper would run an article telling exactly what service the University hospital is supposed to furnish students, and what its function is. He would pose as a critic of the hospital, but I knew in case in which I am inclined to believe that the hospital was lacking. A man in the University was slightly ill and went to the hospital for treatment. He had been suffering from a slight indisposition for two months with the physician in charge to diagnose the problem, what medicine was needed. It took the M. D. just five minutes to tell him. But the student had already tried the medicine recommended thoroughly and had received no benefit from it whatever. He told theician so but was advised to try it at least instead, he went to another doctor and in a week his trouble had disappeared.

A FRESHMAN'S COMPAINT Editor Daily Kansan;
I am a freshman and do not know everything yet. Recently I asked three different instructors in the College which Marvin Hall was, and not one of them could tell me. Why this ignorance among our faculty?
Another thing. Some professs up and say: "You can have three cuts in a three hour course and five cuts in a five hour course; and if you take any more than you are allowed you will have to take a special examination, no matter if you are a 1 sturge in the course." There is no such rule in the course. There is University Law Books that anybody knows of. There may have been in the remote past does not concern us. Are professors going to be allowed to continue to threaten their students in this manner?
Another thing: Can't the University afford some oil to be put on the hinges of the door in Fraser chapel so that they will quit that irritating noise and rectacls when people insist on coming and going out in the midst of things?
Another: Why are people compelled to take gym work when they do not wish to do so? There are more gym classes than the gymnasium in any other place. What better way to spend all this time it takes to go back to school, undress, dress for gym, play a little at baseball, (being watched through spy-glasses by inquisitive engineers and having your hands covered in the meanwhile) then undress or be on the street? It is pure foolishness to waste all this time (which might be spent in the library) for what is called "physical training." If we had decent chairs to sit in, in the class room, we would have a hump over in those sawed-off, back-room things that pass for chairs, we wouldn't need to take physical training.

The senior engineers in the University of Texas at Austin have abandoned their distinctive uniforms of khaki trousers, blue shirts and black ties because they could not keep the other students in the University from wearing the same outfits. The class finally voted to do away with their uniforms after four seniors were put on probation for two months for having tried to keep a freshman from wearing the senior "regimentals."
The University of Wisconsin is offering through its extension division a correspondence course in telephone apparatus and methods. At present there are thirty-six employees of Wisconsin telephone companies enrolled. The telephone Company is showing consistent interest in the course, and doing all it can to enroll many of its men, speaks for an increase in the enrollment.
At the University of Nebraska nearly 600 men have entered classes in military tactics. Movements, rifle use, and other regulations are discussed.
Coach C. E. Van Ghent of the University of Missouri has accepted a position as head coach at Texas University. The new job carries with it an increase in salary as well as a promotion from assistant-coach to head coach. Mr. Van Ghent has been of course the Tigers especially in the development of the baseball machine which defeated Kansas in three successive games. His resignation has been accepted at Missouri to take effect September 1.
*Celebrate* by Y. W., C. A. Jubilee Day "Girls of Yosemite," the name of the organization, was the name of C. A.'s jubilee day, at Oklahoma A. & M. Stillwater, Oklahoma. The pageant was composed of girls in costumes of all nations and times. The first figure was a Virginia Reel, the representative of the organization of Y. W., who presented present day activities. The costs were varied and strikingly handsome.
Wrestling is a recognized intercollegiate sport at the University of Indiana, the team, composed of ten men, defeated virtually the University of Illinois wrestlers.
A race in which the women will be more cultured than the men will be the result if the preponderance of women in the art's arts continues to be maintained.

Of the thirty Ann Arbor students who took the examination for certificates of the American Red Cross society in the first aid, nine failed.
Exchange reports in the Spectator that a moustache epidemic is raging in one of our western universities. The exchange further states that this epidemic has just been warm reception and wild imitation on the part of a noble member of the School of Journalism. Wonder how they found out about the department of journalism at K. U? It has been said that a man can spare enough time from his studies to use the razor, this ornament will disappear.
