The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in graduate school to go further than merely printing the course on paper. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be modest and gregarious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to make it more likely the students of the University.

HAPPY CHOICE ALL ROUND Congratulations, Clark! Shake!
K. U. is glad you're going to be with us next year as assistant athletic coach. You show good taste; for many are the men, famous teachers now, who have gained their reputation at the University of Kansas. Some have moved on to better fields, but others continue to come.
K. U, is glad to have you. You' be glad you came.
ARE WE MISUNDERSTOOD?
The Engineers have announced that they will allow no one other than their flannel shirted brethern to be present at their formal dance Friday night. How the Laws did want to go!
A University of Michigan man, now a teacher in a Kansas high school, visiting in Lawrence over the weekend, asserted that he was now well on the way toward changing his mind about the University of Kansas. "When I was an undergraduate at the University of Michigan," he told a K. U. senior, "I never heard the University of Kansas mentioned except as a school of 'fussers.' Everyone at Michigan had, and I, believe still has, the idea that men at K. U. do nothing except dance and stroll over the campus with the women. Scholarship at such a school we naturally thought must be a joke. My visit to Lawrence, however, has caused me to change my views."
The visitor's criticism was not one to be lightly overlooked. Of course we know that it is untrue and that scholarship at K. U. is as good as at other western schools, however we cannot deny that it is true that the students at many other universities have much the same idea that they have at Michigan. There must be some cause for the criticism. How would it do for the student body to boost the grade average a trifle?
THE LITTLE THINGS
He was deep in study, "boning"
for a chemistry quiz. In "breezed"
its best chum, to spend a pleasant
evening.
Looking over his shoulder, the chum saw what was going on. Instead of distracting him the chum said, "Didn't mean to interrupt, see you tomorrow."
It's the little things that count.
COSTUMED COURSES
A coal mine is to be installed on the University campus. No, it is not a memorial left by some long graduated class, but a practical project for the engineers. Other universities have their own coal mines in which the engineers may gain practical experience, but until now there seemed no
means by which K. U. could install such a project.
At least it is the excuse of the engineers that the coal mine is to give them practical experience. Other people have a suspicion that the engineers have become envious of the cordur of the journalists, but had no real excuse for donning overalls. The opportunity is theirs now.
When the mine is well under way and the engineers plod home in jumpers and overalls, when the medics and chemists sail over the campus in aprons and gowns, and the journalists dash around in their corduroys, there will be no opening for attack left upon the frivolity of student life. The University of Kansas may even be a geographical landmark. The railroad conductor will point out of the car window toward Mt. Oread and say, "This is where the wild and woolly West begins."
Why is that a student will always get his lessons in his hardest course and then slip through his easy courses with threes?
AMERICANS IN MEXICO
General opinion has insisted for some time that Mexico was on the verge of financial ruin. As a result loans from Wall Street have been difficult to obtain. This is due directly to the exploitation of her natural resources and privileges by American capitalists, and by their methods they have scared away honest investors.
Mexico, with a per capita tax of but five dollars—lower than Japan, Germany or even the United States—has shown that she is far from the desperate plight in which she has been pictured. The fact that she was able to reduce her national debt by more than $8,000,000 within three years, in spite of internal political strife, shows clearly that her resources are not entirely bankrupt.
If American business men are unwilling to invest their money in Mexican properties it is first of all necessary to restore the confidence that has been slowly waning. Only in this way can a country be benefited, whose existence depends, to such a large extent, upon the productions from her vast natural wealth.

POET'S CORNER
ODE ON SOLITUDE
Alexander Pope was born in London in 1688. He had no school education, as he was always甜美, but he learned Latin and Greek from servants. When he was 17 years old, he was an acknowledged wit and critic. He died in 1744.

Whose hose with milk, whose fields,
Whose stocky suppim him with attire;
Whose dresses, his dress.
Whose focks supply him with attire
in summer yeld him shade,

Blest, who can unconcernly find Hours, days, and years slide sor
In winter fire
In health of body, peace of mind,
Quiet by day.
Sound sleep by night, study and ease.
And when you wake up, most of the pleas
Anyone can do, much more than please.
Thus let me live, unseen, unknown;
Thus, unlamented, let me die.
Steal from the world, and not a stone
Tell where I lie.

CAMPUS OPINION
-Pope.
It is surprising to those who know something about the White Crow organization to see the article they have in last Friday's Kansas concerning graft in politics. Some of the White Crow members should at least have seen that the graft was collected before they begin to howl about misappropriation of funds.
The White Crows organized primarily for secret politics. The members that are known are ashamed to do so, because they have with secrecy. They take solemn vows not to divulge the names of the members. Their meetings are held late at night, in out of the way places, and sometimes without such an organization as the White Crows actually exists. If their policy is to better conditions in politics why do they not come out in the street? Why don't they honor their honors due this social uplift league?
As a matter of fact, the graft in politics is not in the memorial, smoker and social committees. The books of these committees are open to the public and their inspection is welcomed. All money received and remitted is accounted for. The most notable political lay ministers not generally known and the White Crows do not believe they are known at all.
We think their suggestion a good one in regard to having the Registrar keep the funds after they are collected. Every conciencious student in faculty is anxious to see clean politics. If he does, Saturain furnishing work for idle hands and bottomless wells for class funds why do they not reveal these Devils that seem to be right here in our midst? But we suggest, that the White Crows clean up at home first, when their opinions will carry more weight.

To the Editor of the Kansan:
About once a year, I am forced to pull myself out of a rut of studiousness to raise a kick. Usually I am not afraid to kick today. I feel like raping backward.
What has become of the K. U. Men's Golf Club? Is there any organization, or am I displaying my ignorance in asking questions about golf? What are the week an announcement of practice in chapel, but I haven't had the pleasure of hearing the warblers perform. Are they practicing to get in form for golf? Have they been sick these six months of the school? Where is the organization?
I wouldn't think much of Beau Ocett as a football coach if he would spend six months training his gridiron warriors and then never schedule a game. I wouldn't hurt my lungs any praising William Oliver Hamilton if he should spend all the time this year getting his track team
I read the other day of a big trip taken by the Baker Glee Club through Southeastern Kansas. The Methodist singers pleased large audiences in many towns and were doing some fine advertising for the school. We went to Kansas City and mashes and are planning another extensive tour of Northern Kansas towns in May. Where are the Jayhawks coming in?
ready for a big meet in 1920 and not show us a little of the path stuff this spring. And something must be wrong with the glee club.
I have been here four years and this is the first I have not been given the chance to hear the glee club in action at least four or five times. Practice after practice has been held and no trips, no concerts—nothing but the one little ditty run up to. Co-working that little ditty run up to coming out. They have given a song, I admit or two at the different smokers, I'll admit.
The busy ant; how he toils and toils. The San Francisco Call and Post tells of his masterful civilization in miniature and what he has accomplished, as follows:
Good night, I'm so disgusted I am going to quit.
THE CIVILIZED ANT
According to an eminent naturalist, they live and work in a collective rather than an individual sense, and their habits and pursuits are so remarkable human that they form a distinct set of traits to our own modes of living.
In military matters they are quite up to date. "Saps" and communication trenches are not unknown to them, and they have a passion for raiding weaker communities and capturing their spoils.
Though they do not as yet wear armlets, ants apparently have a most elaborate group system. The dividing line between the "workers" and the "shirkers" is a very sharp one indeed.
The young ants, whose skins are too tender for rough work, nurse the babies! They protect, feed, and even teach them* for the ant kingdom can boast of schools that vie with the human sort.
The main work is done by the smaller ants, the large ones acting as overseers, and a species called harvesting ants are mainly emerged from the soil, wheat, maize, grain, etc.-while another section acts as hunters.
The babies are also taught to value fresh air and sunshine, and are grouped together at school according to are.
On the same system of unity the ants' dwellings are connected with a large central hall by a labyrinth of passages, tunnels and corridors. This central chamber is used as a kind of assembly hall, while the ants themselves live together with the other by carefully prepared roads.
Gymnastics are said to be one of the chief forms of amusement of the
HAPPINESS OF THE BLIND
Those people are happiest who are blind to their own faults and to the maladjustments about them. But it's a false kind of happiness, an amoeba sort of existence. There's another sort of existence. There's another kind of happiness—the happiness of someone else. It's the desire to better one's self and one's surroundings. This is the real happiness of life.
The oyster lives a happy life, with no emotions, no cares, no trials to mar its days. So many persons live the life of the oyster. When they're old they look back on their years as an adult and find that they have meant to them if they could have seen—Ohio State Lantern.
Tom Paine was always unhappy. Not because he was maligned so much, but because of his penetrating vision. He saw too well.
Everyone admits that one of our most pressing needs in preemption is for a large corps of trained aviators. The need to have aviation on the list of outdoor sports.

Once the instructors and the equipment were provided, it is not likely that aviation would be slow to enrolle
AVIATION IN COLLEGE
As a sport for spectators aviation might not draw large gate receipts, but we have already had too many accidents on the job by participants. One of the advantages
No other college sport does anything more in the way of military preparedness than make the athlete physically fit. Aviation would train him for one of the most essential sports, but Hik may cause a little criticism. Aviation probably would not result in any more deaths than football does, or baseball or swimming. The toll of lives taken by baseball last year was greater than that of deaths caused by pitched balls striking batters in the head. Football usually kills fifteen or twenty playmates numbers must run into the hundreds.
