The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in Kansas; to go further than merely printing the text of Kansas; to give the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads in all, to prepare students to fully realize the students of the University.

Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar Mark Twain
It is often the case that the man who judges one, thinks he is the best judge of one.
THE CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL
It was the stranger's first visit to the University. As he reached the top of the Hill and saw the view of miles of fertile valley stretched out before him, he drew a deep breath and felt like removing his hat to the great state of Kansas. And then, as he lowered his eyes and the bare brown walls of the University buildings came before him, he could not but contrast the work of nature in the valley below with the inartistic work of man.
With a little effort the campus of the University of Kansas could rival that of California. Nature would be kind to us here, if we but gave her the opportunity. It would be a simple matter to start a few vines, to put in a few flower beds and to plant a number of hardy, flowering bushes, such as the hydrangea. A few of the students with the help of a gardener could do it in a day. And it would grow into a college tradition that would be beneficial.
It did not take the stranger long to guess the reason. Back in California where he had come from, Nature had taken a hand in covering the stark nakedness of university buildings. There, running vines of ivy cover the walls; trees and bushes and flowers spread themselves over the campus, and Nature is established as an important part of the university.
First impressions are often lasting impressions with the visitor, and it is through his eyes that we are seen by a great many others.
MIGHT TRY THIS—ONCE
Faculty members who have a sense of humor might be induced to look over quiz papers sooner if each student would append a joke at the end of his answer to the last question.
A NEW STUDENT PAPER
"Challenge," a radical monthly magazine, which has just been started by the students of Columbia University, has been received by the Kansan. The columns of this magazine are open to any college student who desires to discuss any student problem.
The articles in "Challenge" are well written and well worth reading. It it full of student interest and interpretation of college ideals. One feature worthy of mention in the March issue is "Mana-A War Play."
The purposes of the magazine are, according to "Challenge" itself: "To stimulate the free discussion of opinion among American students, to the end that each American college and university may become a conscious, informed and intellectual democracy.
"Challenge offers the students of
America an opportunity to redeem themselves in the eyes of the public and to demonstrate that they are indeed a thinking part of the community in which they live, that they are not living a cloistered life of protected innocence, and that they are striving with all the sympathy of youth to bring scholarship into organic relation with the social life of their fellow men."
If "Challenge" only lives up to its ideals it will become one of the best friends of the college and university student. And one who desires to get acquainted with the magazine may find a copy of it in the Kansan office.
GERMAN RELIGION IN WARTIME
The greatest influence in Germany today as a direct result of the war, is neither of military nor political but of religious nature, says the Current Opinion quoting the Allgemeine Lutherische Kirchenzheit of Leipzig.
Much of this new religion the Germans are beginning to condemn as pseudo-religion. One phase consists in worship of the lwarthen. It is a religion without a God or rather a substitution of the nation for God.
Another movement is seen in the nationalizing of God. He is not, to the Germans, a God of all, but a strictly German God with well-defined nationalistic tendencies.
Then there is the Christless Christianity, which accepts God, but excludes Christ, because his teachings conflict with the apparently inevitable war. Individual character and nobility supplant Church Christianity with the advocates of this religion.
It is interesting to note that the conservative everywhere deny the lasting influence of these movements, insisting that Christ is the chief corner-stone of the German religion and will continue to be.
The Christian Science Monitor notes that Signor Graziazei, of the Italian Chamber of Finance, desires the Italian government to change its economic relations with the Allies. We are not sure how much the Signor knows about the financial affairs of a nation but the fact that he has learned to spell his own name proves he is no blockhead.

CAMPUS OPINION
MISPLACED HUMOR Daily Konen
There is a famous passage from the works of Cardinal Newman defining the qualifications of a gentleman. From the actions of certain members of society, derided, hooted and yelled at high school students and coaches Friday, one would judge that they do not know of the churchman's work and that they need it badly. I wish to earnestly recommend it for their use.
Possibly it is not fair to hold the entire-school responsible for the actions of those members who disgraced the University by their actions last Friday morning, but it does seem possible that if the membership of the school had not applauded the message sent to them, the solderer students of the University and the visitors who were the butt of the fun, that the asinine humorists would have seen the error of their ways.
sand and all I wish to come to birth,
how peaceful and wonderful were
It cannot be denied that to the average University man or woman some of the visiting high school students may have seemed rather foolish, but that our own ranks are to be filled from year to year by them and that they are worthy of our respect for that reason if no other. College wits which has as its basis an attempt to make visitors appear ridiculous are rarely enough, that many citizens of Kansas already have of the University. The student body was on trial last week end and the School of Law failed to make good.
"Well, William Jones, I'd like to know such cuttings-up took place?"
Her eyes narrowed, and with some asperity she said:
THE MARCH WIND
The March wind has again started its woo--woo--ing. You hear it in the daytime as it scurries around the corners or over the eaves. You see it playing the same old tricks that it has played from time immetorial.
There it has lifted a man's hat. Away the derby flies, now turning on its brim and now rolling over and lifting its arm at having given its owner the slip.
In close pursuit comes the hattest man, and the merry wind has made short work of his unprotected hair, for it is flying seven ways from Sunday. He comes at a brisk pace, but the hat is always just out of his reach. He increases his speed. The grasped nose boops, mudly graspes a handful of blankness and says, "Oh dear!" or something equally as strong.
Finally a mud puddle relieves him of distress. The wind blows the hat into the arms of the little mud elves who cling vigorously to it and allow it to be dislodged only by the raging owner.
Hospitality.
At a late hour last evening, Mr. H. J. Pyramus, a prominent clubman of this city, and Miss Lizie Thise, of Stinesville, committed suicide at a lonely house in New York. The double disaster was performed by a knife which was discovered near the bodies, and the only other clue to the cause of the tragedy is a blood-stained mantle. The police knocked the viety, but are all at sea.
The funeral services will be held Friday at midnight, and will be open to the general public. There are still good seats left - Indiana Daily Student.
Mr. Pyramus, when interviewed by one of our reporters shortly before the tragedy, said he had nothing to live for, and Miss Thisbe said she had nothing except Pyramus, and so was in the same fix.
And the March wind lauds merger or it whirls on to the next victim.
DUAL DEATH DISASTER
considered the greatest of all composers? Because in his music he combines the classicism of the Greeks, the spirituality of the Middle Ages, the great humanism and rebellion of the Romantic Revival. Because he expresses in music the universality of Shakespeare, the austere depth and massive strength of Milton, the rebellion and the supreme lyric flights of Shelley.
College graduates are plentiful. Men of character and purpose are rare. A college graduate may possess character—and he may not. Character is made up of two ingredients—intelligence and right intent. A college degree is no proof ofOWER.
COLLEGE AND CHARACTER
Combined coaches and teachers are not hard to find, but the men who can work with head, hand and heart, giving an undivided service in carrying the burdens of the world, are in demand as never before in all history.
AN ABUSE OF THE LIBRARY
When it comes to showing boys and girls how to do practical work—how to earn a living—most school teachers are at sea in a collapsed boat. For two thousand years teachers have been trained to have a sort of knowledge of anything that pays in the use of useful work, and this taint still survives.
Ludwig van Beethoven
We want to win by our wits, not by being good servants. Intelligent, cheerful service always leads to pro- success. It is the only pathway to success.
It does not seem bold to assume that the purpose of the library is to give access to books and to provide a place where students can use them. The books the library furnishes; but one often doubts whether it provides the proper place to study them. The defect is not that the student body itself, and to only a small fraction thereof. But the one person in each ten or twelve, who feels that he must make his sojourn at the library as sociable as possible, is enough to disturb a whole table, and often the neighboring tables as well. The impulse to chatter and laugh, to the annoyance of the purpose of working, and for whom alone the library facilities are intended, does not signify anything fundamentally malicious, but it signifies an inherent lack of consideration. It is one case in which we students show a lack of manners. By manners one means, not superficiality and mechanical observance of some rule, but also a sense of respect for the privileges and rights of others. This abuse of the library is so customary that one English instructor gave us the subject for a theme, "The Use of the Library as a Social Center for Students." The situation, if less sad, would be lauguable. The defeat of the purposes of education, for example, college men and women in the cold-blooded and brazen manner we see daily is enough to make one doubt the value of education for some people—Daily Cardinal.
If a youth is not taught to do useful work before he is twelve years old, he may never be able to acquire the habit afterward.
Have you ever heard one of Beethoven's longer works played by artists?
He justifies himself in his inability, prides himself on his own inefficiency, wraps his ignorance around a little part of it to pleasant dreams.

Miss Violet Reilly writes to ask us if it is absolutely necessary to have poems, sent to the newspapers, typewritten. Not absolutely necessary, Miss Reilly asks against gunning up typographical errors. We knew a fair creature once who wrote a poem in longhand in which she said;
USE A TYPEWRITER
Why is
The Shostac String Quartet comes here on Mar.30
Her copy wasn't very clear, and as printed the verse read:
*The law of the sun shall make it light.*
"At evenning when the sun sinks low
And shadows go and come
love to sit and listen to
the city's subdued hum."
At evening the bun sinks low and shad roes go and come I begin to work.
I have to sit and listen to
Theodore's Baboon hum."
Better use a typwriter, Miss telly'- it's safer—Ed. and Pub.
