The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, ther than merely printing the students in a book. The University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to teach them how to satisfy the students of the University.
TUESDAY, APRIL 11, 1916
A Dog was crossing the river over a plank, carrying a piece of meat in her mouth and thought that another dog was dropped on her piece and dashed forward. The other meat was gone, and the dog hat the other meat was gone, and the cream. And thus the Dog was left with nothing.
BOOST THE LOAN FUND
Should a senior of the present class which is to be graduated in June, ask help of the Student Loan fund committee, he would be told that the committee had no more funds. There was but $1900 available and it is practically all in use.
Should each class as it is graduated, turn in the amount it has collected as a memorial for the University, to the student loan fund, by 1920 a considerable sum would be available. Were each class to turn in $200, an additional thousand dollars would be added to the fund, by 1920.
And it would do a great deal more good than the buying of useless bric-a-brac for the campus.
THOSE SPARE MOMENTS
"What's gone and what's past help Should be past grief."—The Winter's Tale.
THE WAY a man spends his spare time usually determines his character, once observed a clever interpreter of men. At no time in one's life is this so true as during one's college career. With various lines of activities which may be followed, the index to one's character may well be determined by what he does with his old bits of surplus time.
Is it a clever novel or a certain picture show for which a student wishes he had the time? Does he indulge in a game of cards, a few minutes of pool or a cursory glance through a good magazine, when he has a few spare moments?
The man who forges ahead, leaving the mass of the world behind to drudge and slave, is not the man who has idied away his spare moments.
THAT GAMING INSTINCT
Another proof of the fact that civilization is only a thin veneer was shown last Friday night, when the members of the University Club spiritedly bid against another for the old magazines sold under the auctioneer's hammer. Throwing aside the cloak of education, the members of America's democratic autocracy entered into the gambling spirit to the extent of $26.92. This amount has been added to the library fund through the sale of old magazines which have accumulated.
The earliest instinct developed by the prehistoric Neandertal man was that of gaming. This instinct has remained with us. A game of pool is made more interesting by the loser's being obliged to pay. The society woman must have prizes offered to make the game of bridge interesting An election cannot be an election un
less a wager is made as to who the winner will be.
So even the faculty bid on old magazines, boosting the price little by little, each hoping his bid will be raised so he will not be required to buy those upon the block.

THE LITTLE THINGS
THE LITTLE THINGS
Two girls elbowed their way through thirty or more men lounging on the steps of Green Hall. The happy, care-free Laws were launching jokes, crude perhaps, at every passby, making voluble and pseudocomplimentary remarks.
The two flushed and embarrassed girls dodged through the phalanx of future Legal Lights and prepared to attack the last human barricade before the closed door. An older man stepped forward, shoved the sheepishly grinning youths aside and opened the door for the girls to enter.
ROMANCE IN NAMES
It's the little things that count.
"A library for every county in the state and a book for every citizen" has been adopted by the State Library Commission of Kentucky as its slogan. The goal has not been reached yet but it is said that the travelling library system embraces many stations as there are days in the year.
The diversity of names of these stations reveals the curious practice of selecting; names that are appropriate for one reason or another known only to the people themselves.
Women evidently have figured in the making of these villages for the names Bertha, Inez, Laura, Livia, Louisa, and Nancy are contained in the sixth annual report of the commission. Patriotism has also been a stimulus of selection for there is the town of Seventy-six. Salt Lick, Sand-lick, Paint Lick may have been chosen for the surrounding geographical peculiarities. And the world's debt to Kentucky is recalled by Horse Cave, Long Run, and Stamping Ground. Then there are other notable names as Alone, Job, Lovelaceville, Nobob, Pactuset, Pine Knot, Savage, and Spider.
Nothing commonplace or colorless about these names and the commission assures us that the same is true of the people who live in the places so designated. Let the libraries be taken to them without stint.

FOUND IN A BOOK
“There are, broadly speaking, two kinds of minds—the ratiovicative and the irrational; in other words, the logical and the illogical. The logical mind proceeds scientifically from sure premises to just conclusions, taking no direction and traveling no faster and less purposeful than the wanted and justified by ascertained fact. The irrational or illogical mind, on the contrary, is unable to discriminate between belief and knowledge, between facts and fancies. Consequently, this type of mind proceeds from guess to conclusion, with the recollection of a distorted, warped, and swerved from truth just in proportion as the basic guess is correct or false.”—from “Defenseless America” by Hudson Maxim.

Robert Browning was born at Cambridge in 1812. He was educated at London University. While his wife was educated at Oxford, most of his time in Florence—last before he met the woman between London and Venice. He died at Venice in 1899. His poems have been collected into several volumes under the titles of "Men and Women," "Dramatic Persona," "The Ring and Dante," "Dramatic Idyls," and "Sordello."
SONG FROM "PIPPA PASSES"
POET'S CORNER
The year's at the spring,
the year of the morning;
Morning's at seven;
The hillside's dew-pearled;
The lark's on the wing;
The dove's in the heaven;
God's in his heaven;
All's right in the world!
Robert Browning.
CAMPUS OPINION

SAYS WE NEED SUNDAY
Editor Daily Kansan;
I note by the Campus Opinion column that some of your students are slaying at the proposition of Billy Sun-crest's Lawward hiring campaign at K. The students as reasons that he'll say bad things, and conjure up bad pictures, and draw evil comparisons—all things which not be cast before the K. U. student.
Your correspondent of the sixth, inst.，“H. M.” holds that Sunday is a professed minister of the gospel, and only as such should he be asked—if he is asked at all. But he's afraid he'll say something bad. The examples H. G., gives are rather disgusting taken from his own experience some meaning when in their original setting—clinched some point for which nothing else would avail.
The main point made by the writer is that K. U. students do not want to hear those bad things, because because it will hurt them or because they just naturally don't like those naughty behaviors. He says the first week of March the Mutt campaign was in full blast on the Hill. And the most popular speaker of the score or so who were in the work, was one who walked to the front of the stage and stuck out his jaw and said, "damn" when damn seemed the proper way to be. The students always cheered when he finished his naughty bad words too.
The students might not want to hear Sunday, but the chapel room wouldn't hold the crowd he'd get at the regular chapel time.
If Sunday came up to Lawrence he might be able to shift some of his students who are narrowed by the lack of fraternities and boarding clubs. The fraternities and other social organizations are mighty good things, and work for considerable good. But they have the effect of pulling the visions of students toward a group of classmates, ball players, dancers, school, or such. They need a man of Billy Sunday's breadth to extend their doings and thinkings.
As to any questions as to whether or not Billy Sunday could do any good in the 1930s, he could. So that the students are concerned sisters, not at all. But Billy Sundy is essentially a democratic man, a man who can see the life of the down-and-outer—the man whose lunch is really from a tin dinner-pail.
K. U. wont be hurt a bit by a talk ing-to Billy Sunday.
To the Editor of the Kansan;
Inexpensive tablets can be erected stating the amount left by each class and in the years to come when the classes are finished. The building is lined with these tablets the old grads can return and, after hunting out the date, estimate how much the gift of their class has been given to the enrollment of their Alumna, Mater.
According to a financial report made by the K. U. athletic association this fall, sale association only made a $2 million contribution. Yet Wednesday afternoon when
A stone bench is a very nice thing. Bulletin boards are useful and ornamental and a sun-dial, even if it is broken, is at least an addition to the campus but these things can only be afforded in the library, and the means to attend the University
THAT MEMORIAL FUND
Editor, DailyKonsult
Very truly yours,
A '16 Grad?
If the funds that have been in the past spent for stone and concrete had been turned into the Student Bank, it would be sensible for nearly a dozen more students to take work at the University. In the future, in my judgment, nothing better can be done with the classes that can add it to the Student bank fund.
If as a private individual I could feel that I had helped make it possible for one man to enroll at K. U. I had carried the heavy load he had erected a stone pillar at which those in attendance could gaze. Inanimate memorials are good things but to leave a flesh and blood remembrance, a bigger accomplishment for any class.

Remember there is an election coming in a couple of weeks so if the present members are indifferent to what is a real abuse, maybe some new people be found. But what do the other students and letter men think about it?
When without a date the matter of grandstand seats is of little importance but I do think that when a K man who has worked for the school in athletics for two years has to shell out thirty cents for seats every time he dates to a baseball game, that he must be heard, and hear what the K. U. students think about it and what the U. athletic board intends to do about it.
the k men attempted to get grand-stand seats as in former years they were informed that along with the other students they would be required to pay the extra fifteen cents. And yet I think it was it we letter men that earned a considerable portion of that twelve thousand dollars profit.
The civil engineering department at Columbia University is inaugurating a movement to secure more and better preparation by the students outside of class. In order that the students may do more work this department has adopted the policy of providing the student shows sufficient knowledge to warrant this exemption.

Within the past year the latest department to appear in collegiate papers is perhaps the women's page. Especially is this true of the Daily Neraskan and the Daily Cardinal of Wisconsin.
