The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the student than ever before; printing the student's University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courteous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to help students who enjoy the students of the University. THE LION AND THE FOX TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1916 A Lion, growing old, was unable to coexist with animals, and so intended to live by crowding them. He lay down there, and pretended that he had seen his dragon, and he ate up those that went into den. The Fox guessed the trick. She stood at the entrance of the den, and "Well, Lion, how are you feeling?" The Lion answered: "Poorly. Why don't you come in?" The Fox replied: I said reutilize. "I do want to in because I see by the tracks that many have entered, but none have come out."—Leo Tolstoi.—Aesop. THE SENIOR MEMORIAL The senior memorial is creating spirited discussion—both favorable and otherwise. Each class, as it is graduated is ambitious to leave a better memorial than the class preceding it. The question of what to leave to the University, is becoming constantly more and more difficult. The campus needs beautifying, but it does not need the cluttering bird wallows, the concrete seats, and other senseless campus "beautifiers" that have been suggested. Visitors coming to the campus remark of the natural typography of the land, the famous view of the Wakarusa valley, or the feeling of exuberance due to the climb up the Hill. But how many of them ever remark on the beauty of any campus memorial? The student loan fund, started by the class of 94 is doing some really constructive good. It helps deserving young men and women of Kansas through school every year. The money given by this class 22 years ago, although but $342.30, has been added to until now the committee has at its disposal a fund of $1,900. Should each class, as it leaves the University, turn over its memorial fund, whatever the amount, to the student loan fund, the growth of the University would be materially aided. Many students are unable to continue their studies because of a financial shortage. The committee in charge of the loan fund reports but $16.42 on hand at present. The rest is in use by the students of the University of Kansas. Think of the inestimable good that might result should the present class break away and establish a new precedent. The $1000 at the disposal of the loan fund committee is helping a number of students, but how many more might be given assistance were the fund doubled, tripled, quadrupled. HEALTH INSURANCE—USE IT "A stitch in time saves nine" run an old adage. A visit to the doctor today may keep the sickness away. The University doctors now have regular clinic hours at the University hospital, where they may be consulted. Prevention is better than a cure. They will be glad to give any student their attention should he show the least signs of illness. They were sitting down stairs in the fraternity house, talking noisily and boisterously as men often will. The 'phone rang. One of the men sauntered over to answer it. THE LITTLE THINGS "DELTA KAP 'OUSE,' he bawled griffely into the mouthpiece. "Oh, I beg pardon," he continued, modulating his voice to tone it down to the proper point of musical softness. "I really didn't know it was you, you know, when I first answered." It's the little things that count. PRESCRIPTION FOR ENNUI Take six heaping-full hours of day, and from two to twenty people. Add as many lunch baskets as possible. Allow this mixture to bake until thoroughly brown on some country hill side. Take one dose a week until sys- tem is completely rid of spring enniu. Sassafras tea, the nearest rival of this wonderful panacea, can be sipped by the gallon, without a single sien- sation that compares with a good hike to the country. Let's hike before we forget that rare flavor of bacon fried on a rock. WANTED—LIMERICKS Are you a poet? Did you ever try to be? The Kansan wants limericks. It wants you to write 'em. A limerick is a five line verse, rhyming—but everybody knows what a limerick is, or can learn from the dictionary. It's easy. It may be on any topic you wish—General Funston, the Mexican War, spring, campusology, "dates," hikes, study, loafing, or even on the faculty. Do not make your verse too personal or caustic. The Kansan will print those it has room for, in the third column of the editorial page. They may be dropped in 'the Kansan box in Fraser. Bring on the limericks. Here is a sample: A beau of the town's social whirl Was courting a neighboring girl. But her na. argued-ve. But her pa, argus-eyed. This swain quickly spied, And the bull dog spat pants by the barr'. So cocky a freshman was that He boldly neglected his hat, Said he "There's no need this injunction to heed." But the paddles came rat-a-tat-tat. Jayhawk Squawks The U. S. soldiers in Mexico will soon have a revolution apiece, won't they? Jessie: "I guess Charley's learning to swim." Tessie: "Indeed?" Jessie: "Yes. I saw him coming out of a bank yesterday and he said that they were getting married." Last week "dress up" week began. And a glance at the length of the ladies' skirts convinces us that advertising pays. The Y. M. C. A. is planning a whirlwind campaign to raise $800. Personally, financial conditions are so personal that doubt could arrest anything but our hair. From the few statistics that have come in, we gather that Mexico is about as harmonious as our morning chapel quartet. An A. B. education usually enables a man to nod just as intelligently when classics are mentioned as if he had read them himself. In the "Student Option" column, "Senior" complains that the glee club is always practicing but not ever playing. This is actually actuated by humanitarian motives. Even if it weren't for Pike's Peak we should remember Zebulon Pike for his first name. Mr. U. B. Wear, the local constable, says that since the girls brought out their spring hair boots, he can't sleep in the morning. The usual rule is to swear first and then look to see if there are any ladies within hearing. Once upon a time there was a ragtime song whose words were almost absent. "We're dissatisfied with conditions in Mexico. We've been trying for two years, and haven't been able to make a pun out of Villa's name" (signed) United Parygrafers of America. Bob Lindsay wishes it to be clearly understood that dates for girls at his date agency are not free, as advertised, but cost ten cents. -G. S Alfred Tennyson was born at Lincollshire, England, in 1809. Tennyson was the poet laureate of England from 1850 until his death in 1892. He has been given a place in Westminster abbey. On thy cold gray stones, O see! Alas, I have been laid utter "the thoughts that arise in me. POET'S CORNER He is now a boy. That he shouts with his sister at O, well for the sailor lil' boy. BREAK, BREAK, BREAK i. breakfast ii. breakfast FOUND IN A BOOK "Women, sister—there are some things which you do not execute as well as your brother, man; no, nor never will. Pardon me, if I doubt whether you will ever produce a great poet from your choirs, or a Mozart, or a Phiasides, or a Michael Angelo, or a great philosopher, or a great scholar. By the last is meant—not one who depends simply on an infinite memory, but also on an infinity and electrical power of combination, bringing to blinding the four winds, like the angel of the red direction, what else were dust from dead men's bones, into unity of breathing life. If you can create yourselves into any of these great creatures, why have you not?" by Thomas DeQinency in his "Joan of Arc."

It need not be the largest army, but it should be the best of all colleges and high school, the drilling of boys and young men, so that if war comes we will be ready." Irvin S. Cobb, who recently returned from the European battle fields, where he acted as a correspondent, believes in military training for college men. He says: The following, clipped from the Daily Illini at the University of Illinois, must be about K. U.'s new assistant coach. Here it is: Will never come back to me. —Alfred Tennyson. Poty Clark will help coach the Kansas team that will battle the Illinois eleven in the first game next fall. Although he has not yet signed a contract, he has already said yesterday that he had accepted the position of assistant coach for the four major sports at that University for next year. He may be head coach in baseball. Posey does not in-vestigate coaching a permanent occupation.

The Co-ed in the modern college is comparatively recent in origin. Mrs. Cape, of New York, tells of her first experience as the only woman to answer the call of the President of Columbia University, for women to enter the college. The New York Times tells of her experiences, part of which follows: In 1883 President Barnard of Columbia issued a call to the women of New York and vicinity to show their interest in the higher education of woman as offered by him in a course at the university. Emily Palmer, much against the wishes of her family, only girl from the city to respond to the demand that she her there were two other women who evinced an interest in the work THE FIRST CO-ED "The two other girls" fathers were college graduates, and procured tutors for them, but I had lost my love of them. As a result, as my people were not interested in my work it was necessary for me to prepare alone. In fact, the greater part of the studying was done at home with neither encouragement or outside help. "Never shall I forget," began Mrs. Cape, "the day that I first walked through the gate of Columbia at Madison Avenue and Forty-ninth Street—a shy girl longing for a real education. Large groups of boys were lined up for me to pass through, for the newspapers had told them I would eels might be expected. I found Dr. Reagan my enthusiasm for study that I soon forgot my shyness and was telling him how little I knew, how I was hungry to find answers to the many questions I had already found in life. He seemed to think I had a good deal to prepare in the way of entrance examinations in the fall, but was so worried about responding to his call that he not only managed me but suggested methods which might help me in my difficulties. COLLEGE MILITARISM Copyright Hart Schaffner & Marx YOUNG men know perfectly well that every clothing store wants their trade; we do. The reason is, if a man's young he's particular about his clothes, for style, for looks; appearances help young men. And if a man isn't young he likes to dress that way; he watches where the young fellows go; and goes there. There's only one way we know of to get the young men's clothing business; that is, to have the style they like. Hart Schaffner & Marx know what they are; and we've got the goods here to prove it. , Suits $18 and up. Overcoats $15.00 and up. The home of Hart Shaffner & Marx clothes. PECKHAM'S From Other Campuses Every available place on the campus is being used by the fraternities and hash-houses to get in shape for hosting of the baseball leagues next month. Marie Buchanan, '18 College, is a busy young woman these days. In addition to having one of the leading parts in the K. U. Passing Show, Tuesday night, April 4 in the gym, Miss Buchanan is buckoning the ticket sale and handling the newspaper publicity for the stunt. John M. Henry, editor of the 1914-15 Kansas, was a visitor on the Hill Friday. Henry stopped off in Lawrence while returning from a trip to Oklahoma where he went to investigate buying a paper in the oil district. Crew men at Yale are much worried because ice in the Thames at New Haven has hindered their workouts. With their annual race with Pennsylvania less than a month off, the Yale crew has been on the water but once. Owing to the fact that Easter comes late this year, students at Baker University voted to have their Saturday classes instead of at the usual time. Two former Yale men, F. R. Riggs and G. M. Porter, are the co-authors of "See America First," a musical now playing in a New York theater. Nebraska's new coach, Dr. E. Stewart, arrived in Lincoln Monday to look over the prospects for a success. He said he'd get acquainted with his new location. Tubbing for discipline and tubbing for hazing are one and the same thing, according to the Student Council of Leland Stanford University, and in the future both will be treated as midemenors. The aquatic reprimand must cease to be the favorite fraternity disciplinary measure. Book Store CLASSIFIED KEELER'S BOOK STORE, 329 Mass. STEKers for writers or sale or rent, Buch aun.
