The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in Kansan; to go further than thany printing the student's name in Kansan; to University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to avoid being guilty of the students of the University.

THE TWO PEASANTS
Once upon a time two Peasants drove toward each other and caught in each other's sleights. One cried "Dear of my way,-I am hurrying to town."
to town:
But the other said;
I am hurrying. I am burrying.
"Get out of my way, I am hurrying home."
"I'll quarrelled for some time. A third Peasant saw them and said,
"I'm going to hurry back up!"
Leo Tetel—Aesop.
ORGANIZE YOUR CLUB
There will be room for two more clubs in the Hash House Baseball League, providing the teams make themselves known by Thursday. At that time the schedule will be completed.
With all the available material in the various boarding clubs of the University, these two vacancies will not remain open.
THE CYNICAL WORLD
A good brand of ball will be played.
Get in on the first game next Saturday,
and go after the pennant.
When two leading members of a first class theatrical company take the time and interest to initiate college students into the arts and secrets of the profession, the question usually arises, why did they do it? The present day world and its inhabitants have fallen so into the habit of weighing each act and thought, that it is the usual thing to assign some selfish motive to every action.
But it was pure unselfishness that led Miss Grassler and Mr. Pryng of the Omar, the Tentmaker company to take the time to instruct the University dramatic art class in the art of stage make-up. The University is fortunate to be able to impress such artists with the earnestness of its students in the desire to perfect their knowledge in any given line, and the members of the Guy Bates Post company are to be congratulated upon having a little of that elusive element of unselfishness.
It is unusual for artists to come down off their pedestals and tell the world of their secrets. In a world so commonly ascribed as purely selfish and material it is a pleasure to learn that sympathy and unselfishness do exist. Miss Grassler and Mr. Pryng have youth and understanding. And it was simply youth and understanding and sympathy that led them to devote two hours' time to the initiation of college students into the mysteries of the art behind the footlights.
BE A HERO!
The "bee-e-ro" was still pursued by the villain. Sure, the hero's name was Harry (or Dan, Robert, or Dick). The villain also pursued Betty (or Marguerite or Clarihelle or Elaine) but the "hero," of course, downed the perfidious monster and saved his beloved.
That's what all heroes do. That's why they're heroes. But, O Joy! we all can be heroes, according to Emerson—whose first name is Ralph Waldo. Emerson says: "Every man is a hero and an-oracle to somebody."
So that's where, all of us come in—we're heroes to somebody or other. But probably many of us will be greatly worried over who that somebody is. It might be mother; it might be sister; it might be little brother—and there is a rare chance that it might be father who thinks we are a hero. But the boys wish it might be She, and the girls wish it were He.
Oh, well, Waldo said we are heroes,
o why worry? Let's all throw out
our chests—for we're "Heroes!"
THEY CELEBRATE TODAY
Dean James Green is now 74 years young, and more active than many men who have scare turned the half century mark. The past forty years, the best years of his life, have been devoted to the interests of the School of Law, which has grown from a lusty infant, to one of the best law schools in the country. Some of the most successful lawyers of the land have been "Uncle Jimmy's boys."
He has been more than their professor. He has been their teacher. He has been their companion. And thus he has endeared himself to those who have ever had classes under him.
It is small wonder the Laws celebrate "Uncle Jimmy" Day.
FUTURE OF ATHLETICS
"Tear down your mammoth grand-stands," read an article in the Michigan Alumnus, written in defense of athletics. "Tell your collegiate competitors that we challenge their supremacy no longer. Take the thousands that you are annually spending in the training of "phenoms," who do not need it, and purchase land, as much as you need, where every student may spend a few hours a week playing for the joy of the game and the recreation (for this is recreation) of his physical reserve." The writer admits that "This is drastic;" but sees no other solution.
Although there may be no other solution, the writer takes it for granted that all students desire an active part in athletics and forgets the enjoyment that they receive from these grand-stand sports. If the emphasis is too much upon the training of the expert let us remedy that, but not tear down our mammoth grand-stands, for a while at least.
The spectator gets, also, innumerable thrills from the excitement of an athletic contest. The best promoter of college spirit should not be banished.
The following limericks have been contributed to the Kansan Limerick column. Sit down and grind out a few of your own. Then drop them into the Kansan Box in Fraser, or give them to one of the Kansan men;
There once was a student named Singer.
MY COUNTRY 'TIS OF THEE
KANSAN LIMERICKS
At the present time, when most of the European nations are engaged, a death struggle for supremacy, it is interesting to note what the poets hail for their respective countries. Some of the best of verse has been called forth because of love of country.
**TO IRELAND**
The groves of Ireland they look as charming.
Down by the purlings of sweet silent brooks—
All decked up by posties, that spontaneous grow
Pushed into rocky nooks.
R. A. Miliken.
O'walt I was so fortunate
As to be back in Monster,
This I'd be bound that from ground
I never moved out easily.
For there St. Patrick planted turf,
And utterly
With pig's galae, ma gra, ma' store,
And cabbages—and ladies,
That nap begins Patrick's fast,
For he's the darling saint O!
Henry Bennett.
This precious stone set in the silver sea.
This blessed plot, this earth, this world, England.
William Shakespeare.
A ripple of land; such little hills the sky
The winding wheat fields climb;
Such rocks of valleys with orchids;
Fed full of noises by invisible streams;
White daisies from white dawn; at intervals
The milestone trees standing on soil;
Self-poised upon their prodigy of shade—
I thought my father's land was worthy too
Of our tears.
Elizabeth Barre Browning;
And one, an English honeymoon.
On dewy pastures, dewy trees;
Suffer things in order stored,
A haunt of ancient Peace.
Alfred Tennyson.
W' whatah joy I lailed them a' raw:
The pilgrimage bird's kings.
A' at the bonny U. P. kirks!
Robert Louis Stevenson.
O Caledonian' stern and wild;
Meet nurse for a poetic child;
Land of brewing chocolate wood;
Land of the mountain and the flood.
Sir Walter Scott.
—the pent ocean, rising o'er the pile;
Sees an amphibious world beneath him smile.
The snow canal, the yellow-blossomed vale,
The wilde meadow gliding sail;
The crowded mart, the cultivated plane.
Oliver Goldsmith.
Beeque rains away;
Then Delta, where thy proud tomb, Nassau,
Claims equal reverence, equal axe!
Tr. from Bishop Hurst.
A country which, between its carillons and its canals,
might be the most important chamber as ringing door.
Thomas Hood.
When I may read of tiles in days of calf;
An journey graced by chieftains of renown,
Fair dames, grave citizens, and warriors bold;
If royalty were strong enough to town,
(for which orchid pit theatre should be,
Fair Bruges, I shall then remember those.
Robert Southey.
Deutsche Worte hor' ich widener;
Sie gegrust mit Herat in Land der Hüte;
Land der Lieder.
Schones, heirs Vaterland.
French laurier.
Deutschland, du mein Trost, mein Kick.
John Fallersleben.
Let others go accordin to their affections whether they list, let them travel into England, remembrance in England, and be dyed with the Sunne and ash of spume,但它将 travel into other places; for mine owne part I have resolved that I with my owne part will think with those who with their owne part I have resolved before all others, of Germany is to be preferred before all others.
In playing quoits, threw a ringer,
He said, "Bet your life,
When I choose a wife,
She's going to be a hum-dinger."
There was an old Prof named Thistle
Who blamed everything on the whistle
Once it failed to blow
The reason—don't know,
Unless the engineer made a fizzle.
Upon the Hill is a college.
Where some students go for knowl
edge,
But how much they made
In various grades,
Most of them fail to acknowledge.
The father's face—it beamed with joy
As he said, "It's a ten pound boy."
But that was before,
He'd ever walked the floor
That was covered with a many toy.
The teacher sat down in his chair:
Some say that it was not fair,
But he quickly arose—
Made a grab at his clothes,
And ran out.
NO GERMAN RHODES SCHOLARS
Germans are to be deprived of the privilege of attending Oxford as Rhodes scholars if the following, told by the New York Herald, is true;
The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting on the pending alteration of the Rhodes bequest, remarks: "The cutting out of Germany from the famous bequest is a symbolic admission of the failure of the amiable philosophy of friendship between England and Germany, and an announcement that the dreams associated with these ships were a consipious instance of our general disposition to be neighborly and to foster a common spirit of loyalty and mutual appreciation within the European family."
The British Government is preparing a bill to vary the conditions of the Rhodes Scholarship Trust, so as to eliminate provisions for the endowment of Germans students coming to Oxford. Cecil Rhodes established fifteen scholarships of $1,250 each for young men of German birth, to be nominated by the German emperor. These endowments, along with those for American students, were created, as his wife remained, under the con- dition that "a" would understand between England, the United States and Germany would secure the peace of the world, and educational relations form the strongest tie."
Visitor on campus: "What's the matter with that man? He's running round and round just like a fly with its head off."
"No cause for alarm, visitor," he
student after a grass-hoover.
"Excellent."
Among the rules recently adopted by the football rule committee to govern the sport for the coming season was one giving the referee a considerable amount of latitude in deciding special matters that come before him on the field on the merit of the individual cases. This is an interesting principle of law, though one which has apparently been quite overlooked in recent decisions on other matters pertaining to athletics. It might not be altogether unfair to apply it as a general rule to a wide range of cases regarding college athletics that may arise in the future.
Over two thousand students at Northwestern University have petitioned the faculty to maintain baseball as a college sport.
The Columbia Spectator of a recent date announces that the sophomore journalists have given their second banquet of the year, which was attended by both the men and women. They also gave their pop to give interest and activity to any university movement and Kansas should take note of this.
A woman will preside as judge in a mock trial to be held by the law students of the University of Louisiana. Miss Cliff Martin will decide whether "John Doe" is proved guilty of robbery.
Billiard playing, as a diversion for the greater part of the freshman class of the University of Michigan has been the principal law which forbids students in any public educational institution, who are under age, to frequent billiard halls. The owner of one pool hall has allowed the court and fined as a result of the law.
Harvard has followed the example set by Yale, in restricting men students from playing the parts of female characters in plays given there.
Because they failed in the mid-term examinations, Captain-elect J. A. Enwright, J. A. Gilman, and W. J. Boles, three of Harvard's football stars, were asked to withdraw from school. If they are reinstated they will not be allowed to take part in football or gymnastics in any city rules which prohibit a player from playing in any athletic game after flunking the mid-term examinations.
In the years to come Columbia's athletic teams will be made up of undergraduates. This action was taken by the Athletic Council in 1973 for students holding degrees from other colleges from participant in minor or major sports.
The cafeteria at the University of Minnesota is becoming popular with the university men. A new malted milk machine has just been installed.
A man was seen yesterday setting his watch by the Physics clock. He must have been a stranger on the Hill.
The chapter of Sigma Delta Chi at the University of Indiana "put over" three annual events: viz: the Blanket Hop, the Spring Hike, and the Annual Resurrection Day. The Blanket Hop is an informal dance event in which students of buying blankets for the seniors who have played three years on the football squad. The Spring Hike is a cross country junt and the Resurrection Day is a day on which Sigma Delta Chi degrees that everyone shall dig out his last summer's straw hat and wear it to the game to be played that a terrrorom
From Other Campuses
Washburn College is seriously considering the question of adopting the honor system, defined to mean "fairness to one's self, and fairness to others." In the East 123 colleges are already using this system.
The women's dormitory at Stanford University has devised a plan for the collection of dues. Any woman who has not paid her dues is not allowed telephone privileges, and any young man calling her is told, "She cannot come to the 'phone as she has not paid her dues."
Professors in the University of Minnesota issued an edition of the student paper last week. In a column entitled "The Happy Faculty of Seeing Himself" appeared the follow-up tale, titled Professor Goop Is one who'll stop
To give a quiz on Monday, Or give his students Outside work
To spoil their happy Sunday. He'll average carelessly the marks Upgrade group
He'll smack his lips and send out slipe Beware, Professor Goop!
