The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of your classmates in a further than merely printing the news by standing up and speaking; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to help; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to give students the ability the students of the University.

Pudd'head Wilson's Calendar
Mark Twain
One of the most striking difference between a man and his life is that a car has only nine lives.
"And everyone agreed:
'A lovely time was had.'
Well, it's all over!- and everyone had a good time. Under a canopy of black and white, with sprightly music, good company, and frolicsome spirits, the Junior Prom was staged.
NEXT!
With laughter and joy and mirth and frolic and fun and smiles, the dancers enjoyed immensely the great social event of the University calendar. The dancing began when the night was young and ended but a few hours from the dawn of the "morning after."
Perhaps the morning after saw late risers, tired minds, tired bodies—but they were won in a good cause! And it's only one more year until the next Junior Prom!
Now we're ready for the Sophomore Hop.
WELL. WEATHER IS WEATHER
The collapse of the standpipe might not be so bad after all. There are many students in school who believe in baptism by immersion.
The old homely methods of doing things have passed away. We no more do as our forefathers did—stick up a wet finger to test the direction of the wind. No, indeed, we do things in the modern way—gaze up at the roof of Fraser Hall to see which way the weather vane is pointing.
Oh, K. U. is nothing if not up to date! We are all learning in the modern rush of the world to do things in the quickest way. Now, instead of gazing out of the window to see if it will be necessary to wear a raincoat, and then debating the fact with ourselves or our roommates, we squint confidentially up at the roof of Fraser Hall where floats the weather flags. After figuring out with a pen and ink and paper the portent of the signs, we get out our "goloshes" and rain hats and overcoats and sally forth into the sunshine.
Sunshine? Well, what of that! Doesn't the weather flag say local showers?
The University statistician has figured out that the failure to open on time the interurban line to Kansas City, has saved the fathers of University men at least a million dollars.
MUSICAL CLUB AND CITIZENS Ordinarily one does not see much cooperation between the University alumni and its musical clubs. At the University of Wisconsin, however, they have made a pleasing combination, and have encouraged graduates from that institution to show "the
folks back home" just what college musicians are like.
The president of the Musical Club corresponds with a group of Wisconsin alumni in some city and the latter are able to arrange a visit for the Glee and Mandolin Clubs, thus keeping the University in touch with the alumni and the people of the state.
The plan has proved a great success in the past, and one is inclined to wonder that the scheme introduced by the Badgers should not have become more common with universities throughout the country.
If Chancellor Strong were as arbitrary as President Wilson there would be no necessity in the poor, over-worked students worrying about the chapel question.
“K. U. Sends Notes Too”—headline.
Yes and sometimes they throw them over the walls of the booths at Bricken's.
REGARDING STUDENT OPINION
ANALYZER
“As I write this, I am wondering if it will be heeded, since—” All communications must bear the name of the writer. Let me say that the Kansan would receive many more communications were it not for the absurd regulation above.” Thus writes an “unknown” to the Kansan—and signs no name.
The Kansan welcomes any unsigned communication, if the writer wishes to express his opinion of the paper and its policies—but will not print it. If one writes a communication to the Kansan and is either so ashamed of what he has written, or of his name, that he will not sign that name, he surely cannot expect to have the article printed.
Just imagine what rabid and rank communications would come to the Kansan, if it promised to print any or all unsigned articles that were handed in! People who were too cowardly to sign their names might make attacks on everyone and everything—for if their names were not signed, they could not be held responsible for what they wrote.
All signed and sensible communications will be gladly received by the Kansan. The name of the author will not be printed, if the one sending the article does not desire it. The name is required only as an evidence of good faith.
Is this requirement really "absurd?"
Jayhawk Squawks
The only thing that is worse than ragtime is stale ragtime.
The first of the month seems to be the most popular time for writing 'Olden.'
Is an evergreen-tree persevering or
merely obstinate?
The only redeeming feature about some people is their punctuality.
One of the most difficult feats in the world is for the preacher to look disinterested while the collection is being taken.
Every girl like to be regarded as being just a little fickle.
Uncle Jimmie's boys seem to have the cut-out open all the time.
What has become of the o. f. swain who took his girl alish-riding?
The seniors have a new checking system. If it enables them to get more money out of the bank than they put in, we want to investigate.
An alarm clock may be useful, but at times it's mighty discourescent.
The checks the Germans received last week were infinitesimal when compared with those Lawrence cabdrivers got.
No man ever gets so old or so
ugly but you can tickle his vanity
by accusing him of trifling with some
girl's affections.
The girl never lived who believed a man when he said she was the first one.
If U. S. does go to war, a number of people will derive an infinite deal of comfort from being able to say. "I told you so."
And in 93 per cent of the cases, the girl's diagnosis is correct.

GREEN GROW THE RASHES, 0
There's naught but care on ev'ry man:
In every hour that passes, O,
O man,
An 'twere not for the mares, O.
Green Grow the rashes, O,
Green grow the rushes, O.
The hearts that ear I spend
Are among the hares that ear I burn.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Communication must be withdrawn or evidence of good faith but name will not be published unless requested.
MOVING PICTURE DICTIONARY
CAMPUS OPINION
George Fitch is really funny. (If just one Owl could be as funny as George Fitch we might hope for the publication of a Sour Owl that would be worth white.) George Fitch is often in earnest when he writes of "The Greek Letter Society." However, the national officers, some of the alumni and a few of the undergraduates have higher ideals for their fraternities than is indicated by the serio-comic tone of the apical secrets which George "divulges."
It is doubtless true that the rent is not always paid promptly. Fraternities do mess in politics, frequently to the deterrent of both the church and the other crowd that does the 'dirt work' and we go into it only in 'self-defense', sometimes 'fighting' fire with 'fire', often in an effort to miss attention, and perhaps some fraternity chapters have not yet attained a stage sufficiently beyond the high school to discard the foolish habits and disgraced most security initiationites.
But there is another side to the Greek Letter Society—the side that stands for the better development of the members, for better scholarship, higher standards. This could be brought out a little more frequently in our college press it would not only help the general public to the realization that the objectionable features of fraternity eliminated, but, by keeping the fact before the active members, it would stimulate them to progress more rapidly with the elimination. We are all too prone to flipppart about such matters. We must be vigilant. Let us have our ideals held up for public—and our own—inspection.
Sometimes I wonder if the University is like the clock in Blake Hall—old and rusty. It seems to me that an institution like the University of Kansas either ought to have decent shower baths in the Gymnasium, or not require the men to take gym. For a year the showers have been getting worse and worse, until the day when there still is no help in sight. Two plumbers could very easily put the showers in first class condition in half a day. Why not have them do it? If the University authorities will not take it up why not collect the funds from them? It would cost each student only about one cent.

The Chinese government, by devoting this and other government funds to the education of their citizens in the Chinese for the development of the resources of the country.
