The Daily Kansan aims to plea for the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the text, the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gregarious; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to be taught by more students of the University. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1916 Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar Mouth Twin Consider well the proportion < June bug than an old bird of parakee WEAR A TAG? The youngest class of the University has already started to "put in a few good licks" for its class memorial. Green tags are seen here and there over the campus--showing that the freshman campaign has already begun. The other classes are getting a start. Soon everyone will be a senior, or junior, or sophomore, or freshman "memorial booster." It is the duty of every student to make this Memorial Week a success. Help to preserve the memory of your class in the history of the school. Leave something behind you that will connect you, in future years, with the University. Join the "bunch." Wear the tag that will show that you are loyal to your class. PAPER FOOD NEXT—OR NOW? Since the entomology students have placed their clever little tanglefoot traps on all the elm trees of the campus to catch the unwary moths, it might be well to bring the old saw about "hovering around the flame" up-to-date, by changing "flame" to "tanglefoot." PAPER FOOD NEAK-OUT. At the women's "eating place" on the campus of the University of California they have installed a new "wrinkle in eating implements." It is a papier mache spoon. If some one doesn't stop this manufacture and use of paper spoons, drinking cups, knives, forks and plates, at universities we are going to wake up some day to find our boarding clubs feeding us papier mache bacon and eggs, bread, pie and cake. Sometimes we think they do it now! OUR STUDENT SPEAKERS The announcement that four student speakers are prepared to make addresses before Kansas high schools, in the near future, calls attention to one of the University's newest departments, that of public speaking, which has grown in the few years of its existence to be one of the most important in the College. The department of public speaking, of which Prof. Arthur MacMurray is the head, has been a favorite of the Board of Administration, and was started largely on account of the belief by members of the Board that it would fill a great need in the state. Most of the members of the Board have spent much time in public life and realize the importance of clear, forceful speaking as an aid in the path to success. However, as time has gone by, the department has become more than a "place in which to learn to speak." Its faculty supervises University dra- matics. It teaches students the elements of the historiic art. And now it has begun furnishing student speakers for the high schools of Kangas. And this is but one of many departments that are doing good service work for the state. "Rags are not so bad"—headline. Especially if they are of the glad kind The chief function of a great many K. U. organizations seems to be to organize. STUDENT AND OUTSIDE WORLD College students have been accused of taking no interest in the affairs of the outside world. The accusation is well founded, but judgment upon the poor college student should not be too severe since even his accusers admit that he lives in a world apart. Each college, each university, is a world in itself, with problems as rare and vital to the student as those of the outside world are to those who live, in it. To expect college students to be vitally interested in the affairs of two worlds at once is expecting too much. Only in affairs where the two worlds touch and interlock is the student interested. He cares only for the affairs of the world at which he looks with the eye of the student of research, affairs which illustrate the points of theory in which he has familiarized himself. The inhabitants of the Earth are not actively interested in the affairs of the inhabitants of Mars—if such there be—nor are the inhabitants of Mars interested in the affairs of the men toiling on the Earth. Each world is interested in those affairs which touch and concern it. If the affairs of the two worlds interlock for a moment, all well and good. So it is with the college student. His world is not the world of other men. And to expect his interests to be wholly the same is folly. "I just got a letter from Jack with fifteen mistakes in it!" "Evidently you hold him spell bound." Observations Hermeneutical About Things Academical "The flatterer makes believe to see us as we see ourselves." "AND THE GREEN GRASS, FTC." "The Argonaut (University of Idaho) apologizes for the tardy appearance of a recent issue. It seems that the staff developed spring fever and simply didn't show up. So the paper had to be postponed until the archeologist are reminded of the erstwhile Dingleville Patriot that, in the words of its esteemed editor, "appeared any time between Tuesday and Friday, according to the disposition of ye editor." GRIN, GIRLS, GRIN! "No girl was ever kissed against her will," sternly declares the Ottawa woman. "No, of course not. All she could do was to smile, and it couldn't be ddd. So successful has a faculty gym class become at Ohio University that the students are already expecting my day to see a professor roll up his deeps and spank a senior who cuts a class. SUBTLE your side And she gave him a vacant stair —Wilde He came and asked, "May I sit by your side?" FOUND IN A BOOK The Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity at the University of Louisiana has offered a medal to encourage members of the freshman class to higher efficiency in academics. The team will be presented at the annual commencement exercises. She sat on the steps at eventide, Enjoying the balmy air; He cried and naked, "May I see." A Corner for the Library Browser The first difference between one on crowd and a philosopher is this: the one says, "I am undone on the account of my child, my brother, my mother, or our father," he obliged to say, "I am undone," reflects and adds, "on account of myself." For the will cannot be restrained or hurt by anything to which the will does not extend but only by force. We should allow ourselves to incline this way, and whenever we are unsuccessful, would lay the fault on ourselves, and remember there is no cause of perturbation and inconstance, but wrong principles. I pledge to the faithful that we shall show some proficiency in Discerning of Epictetus. Did you think when you stopped to laugh and talk in the hall during class hours? Did you think that you were robbing your friends by taking their attention from that which they have paid their money to receive? Did you think when you dropped that bit of paper in the hall or on the campus? Did you think that if every one did the same that campus and college halls would soon require the services of a scavenger to save procs that thinking that they had a mistake and come to a kindergarten. O, why the duce should I repine, I'm twenty-three, and they feel time, I'm twenty-three, and they feel time, I'm twenty-three, and they feel time. Checks numbered from 1 to 25 are the hardest to get, and consequently count you two points. Did you think when you ran across the campus to catch the car, think that you were helping destroy the beauty of our campus? If either you or your room-mate get caught the game is up, and the game will not move, and you will not care particularly where you move, just so it's away. I'll get some gear w/owlie care. But row it goes, and something main to do. I'LL GO AND BE A SODGER. Any one check by itself makes a neat watch-fob, and should be worn in a conspicuous position in the botto-nerk trunk underneath your dirty clothes. You bet your room-mate two bits he can not cut out page 406 of the Encyclopedia Britannica in the Lite, and you can. He takes you up, and the fun is on. We sometimes wonder,—Kendall Collegian. Did you think when you said that unkind word? Another variation of this game is placed as follows: We may add that five pages neatly cut from any of the books in the reading-room is a grand slam; that is, you can feel the sounding that way when you leave. He comes back with page 408, and then it's your turn to get page 812. Pages may be removed with the small blade of a knife or else a safety pin will secure on the paper, and gives the rest of the book an untidy appearance. Often the student hears an instructor's plea for originality. Usually the inspirational talks, supposedly productive of greater and more persistent effort, pass high over his head. The association of the class room with this advice discounts its value. Just what stress a master mind has laid on this trait of originality is shown in these words of Emerson: Edna Davis has proved herself to be a very efficient manager of the wo men's glee club. While Professor Rose was last week, she con ducted her work.* The latest thing out in the way of games is played in this wise: You take an old cap you don't want to the Library cloak-room and get a brass check for it. Then you take something else you don't want, and get another check. You keep this up until someone asks you to get checks numbered consecutively and the first man to get ten checks wins. All of this is strictly according to Hoyle, and has nothing at all to do with the S. A. C., only they think it has—Indiana Daily Student. DID YOU THINK? BE ORIGINAL "It is not often that a sparrow can interfere with the printing of a newspaper, but that it what happened at the office of the Petoskey, (Mich.) Evening News. A sparrow flew through one of the windows just at press time and persisted in perching on some part of the machinery. The machine would be run off, but it kept out of his reach for half an hour. Finally one of the helpers was stationed on the top of the press and kept the little fellow from alighting on the machine."—Editor & Publisher. "Insist upon yourself; never imitate. Your own gift you can present every moment with cumulative force of a whole life's cultivation; but of the adopted talent of another you have to learn to do it on your own. That which he can do best, none but his Maker can teach him. No man yet knows what it is nor can tell that person has exhibited it. Where is the master who could have taught Shakespeare? Where is the master who could have taught Washington or Bacon or Newton? Every great man is an unique. The Scipionism of Scipio is precisely that part he could not borrow. If anybody will tell me whom the great man imitates in the original crisis when he could not borrow. If anybody performs a great act, I will tell him why Shakespeare will never be made by the study of Shakespeare. Do that which is assigned thee and thou can't not hope too much or dare too much." THIS STORY IS A BIRD THE LATEST COLLEGE GAME on think' Did you think? Mr. Business Man of Lawrence: Are you sleeping unsoundly through the night in the fear that your competitor is getting more than his share of the trade? Is he really getting it? If so, why? Are you a pessimist? Did you insert one little ad in the paper the other day and then holler your head off every time a newspaper man came in the office about "not being able to see that it brought any results?" If you want student trade—and it is a safe bet that you do—the only way to get it is to go out after it. Your only way of letting the students know what you have is through the advertising columns of the University Daily Kansan. One barber has increased his business ten per cent through one month's campaign in the Kansan. One cleaner, presser and dyer has asked his advertising man to lay a little low on the dye question, as he is afraid he will run out of supplies before he can order again if suits and dresses keep coming in. And we could tell of a few other cases, too. In view of the fact that you would give your right arm to have a big share of the student trade; that you have been too short-sighted to pursue a definite advertising policy in the paper that goes to every student five times a week; that you don't act friendly to an advertising man when he walks into your store—consider him a thief and robber, trying to beat you out of your hard-earned money instead of helping you to make more—that you cuss the luck of your competitor and wonder how anybody can see anything decent about the goods he handles—if that has been your policy and you think it is time to consider some other one, we would like to help a little. If you don't really know what a pessimist is, you can't hardly answer that question. You do know, however, that it has a mean, disagreeable sound and that you don't want to be one. One of the wits says that "A pessimist is a man who sleeps un soundly through the night for fear it will soon be morning." Poor man, you say. But ARE YOU STILL A PESSIMIST? You know where the students trade, Business Man of Lawrence. Watch them as they go down Massachusetts street and you will see that they turn in at the places of business whose advertising they read in the University Daily Kansan. AreYouaPessimist?
