The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the city, but go further than merely printing the news from the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gentle; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to help students, in all, to justify the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, FEB. 16, 1916
The study of vain things is laborious idleness—Fr.
FOR AN EDUCATION
Everyone involuntarily respects the man who tries to make his way through the University even under ordinary circumstances. But when a man as earnest as the one who has been advertising in the Daily Kansan attempts such a difficult task, it attracts attention far and wide. Many of the college papers have called attention to him.
But the significant fact is that the metropolitan papers over the country have found here a situation worthy of notice. The Christian science Monitor in a recent issue says regarding it:
It is not infrequently charged by those who think the public is assessed too highly for free education, that many men and women who attend state universities are seekingily in refutation of this is an advertisement in the Kansas University paper, saying: 'I am not afraid of work, and want something to do to enable me to go to school this semester. I will wash windows, do housework, and carry a card in a national union. I will wash windows, do housework, dig ditches—in fact, do anything. My hours are arranged so I have from 12:30 to 5 o'clock open, and daily Saturday's. No state should allow a woman to wear a ward fitting a man of this stamp for hfs rightful place in the world.
Kansas should be proud that there are men of such worth-while quality in the University. And Kansas should not begrudge anything it might do toward giving this man and the three thousand others the best of chances.
But next year about this time, the same old story will be retold at the session of the legislature. The appropriations will become the biennial football for the politicians to kick about, and the spectacle of a University graduate for politic's sake pleading for the "pruning" of the appropriation will again sadden the hearts of all true lovers of "Old K. U."
CLASSICAL—BUT ENJOYABLE
When the usher has handed you a program and you get settled in your seat at the Pop concert Thursday night, if you will shut, your eyes to everything but the program, you can easily imagine yourself at one of the high priced concerts in the Eastern cities.
The program is of the highest order, but not too classical to be easily understood. Mrs. Herman Olcott who has sung with high class organizations in the East will be one of the promising attractions. Professor Carl Preyer, who has been a favorite ever since he came to the University, will make his first public appearance since his return from California. This alone should bring a large crowd. Professor Downing is well known to all since he has sung to us several times already this year.
A glance at the names of the participants in the concert and appreciation of the variety in the program will be sufficient to convince every student of his need for the pop concert tomorrow night.
Wiedemann's or "Wiede's," known by more than 30,000 K. U. students has changed hands. To think of never seeing the kind-faced old German behind the desk again is disheartening to many a loyal patron of the famous confectionery. For more than two generations, students have feasted and feted in the quaint old-fashioned place and tasted of the sweets that are famed from the Missouri to the Rockies.
WIEDE'S
Older students will retell the story of their escapades, which ended by a treat to the gang. The tales of courtships, started and ended, disastrously or otherwise, will be rehashed by the romanceers in many a hamlet within our state, as the news of the passing of "Wiede's" goes about.
No definite plans have yet been made for a commemoration of the University's first half century of life and the second semester is now well under way. To prepare commemoration exercises that will be worthy of the occasion will require at least several months of careful work and a great deal of planning.
A CELEBRATION
It would seem that if anything is to be done the time is fast drawing near when the plans were made public and work begun upon them. Of course we will not let the opportunity for a semi-centennial anniversary celebration pass by.
The Kansan favors quick action on this matter.
WHO GETS LAUREL WREATH
THO GITS LAUREL WREATH Everlasting gratitude of the faculty, a place in the Hall of Fame and possibly a laurel wreath are some of the things that have been promised any student who can give a good tip on a better enrollment system.
Nearly every student has at least one idea and many have a plan in mind which they feel ought to work. Is it not the duty of these students to share these ideas? It is certain that the task of devising a better system of enrolling is not an unsurpassable one and it seems that with enough good suggestions offered by students the plan might be improved.
There is no reason to believe that the Dean of the College is not in earnest in his desire for information from the student standpoint on a more feasible plan of enrolling.
Seniors who will never again be compelled to endure the tortures of our present system may not feel called upon to offer any panacea but the juniors who are well familiar with conditions would be doing a very good deed for their fellow students as well as for themselves if they would now come forward.
Following the lead of certain Cabinet officials we may expect the President of the Men's Student Council to resign because the University Senate refused to accept his views on the 12 Clock closing rule for dances.
The farmers tell us that the wheat has not been smothered by the sleet as was at first feared. The students who spend their summer sliding up and down pitch-fork handles will be the victims of that death.
Perhaps you've discovered that a stinging comic valentine will help settle an old grudge but if you haven't "broken up" by February 14, it takes a dozenoses.
A certain school in the east has asked students to give up some blood for transfusion purposes. It is some consolation to know that we are not the only ones getting bled.
Former Assistant Secretary of War Breckenridge seems to have more than one Bryanesque tendency. He has started a series of platform lectures at Princeton.
Practice makes perfect but the man who blows his own horn is an exception.
Moral (with a note by the writer);
Nobody is ever entirely impossible,
girls! - Indiana Student.
Five years later. The grind is seated in his office. Enter Jack Devire, looking for a job. Does our hero fall on his neck for old times' sake? Not apparently. Exit J. Devire, still looking. Does our hero care? Not at all. Why should he? Is he not impossible?
Sounding brass and tinkling cymbol,
He that made me sealed my ears,
And the pomp of gorgeous noise,
The whispering, the thundered empty round and past me,
Shattered, lost for evermore,
Ancient gold of pride and passion,
Wrecked like treasure on a shore.
But I saw her cheek and forehead
Change, at as a spoken word,
An opened heart, an open mouth,
Like a lily to the Lord.
Naught is lost, but all transmuted,
"Ears are sealed, yet eyes have seen;
Saw her smiles (O soul, be worthy!)
'Saw her tears (G heart),
-G. K. Chesterson.)
Once upon a time a fellow came to college to study. They used to do it in those older days. He did not wear an Arrow claw, nor look like one of them in a clothing company's advertisement, and so he remains unorganized.
Francis Campbell, of LaCygnie, a sophomore Engineer last year, has returned to college.
Finally, he was graduated at the head of his class, still friendless. The most popular of his class-mates was named Fred, a senior who told him good-bye. The forest follow in the class—as the girls said—came to bid him farewell, speaking to him for the first time. (But them, too, were quite wrong and that so was all right.) Well, Jill, we were came to him and said: "So long, old top; look me up some time."

He studied hard. He went nowhere, and no girl spoke to him. They try to get him at all, and they said he was "impossible." They said he had a stand-in with his professors. He did. All good students do. He could talk out of sense, so none of the fair coords were on him. Oh, he was distinctly out of it!
He made many A's. He rarely ever made anything else, but he cared nothing for a grade. He wanted a friend or two. "Well, why didn't he teach me? No, it was easy to do that, when you are hashtful and sensitive? Yes, it is—not! But you do not have to be hashtful and sensitive, if you do not care to be, do you? No, not, no, unless you're there, there's no one to tell you any better.
MUSIC
The department of industrial art will take care of any one who want a course in woodworking. Otherwise forget those childish antics and leav the university's property untouched. Ohio State Lantern.
Once every so often a man at the University of Kansas rises above tide level of professorial ability and becomes known in places far from home. When he is usually loses him. Many times it is simply a question of salary, again he goes where pension foundations prevail, or perhaps to a place of better coordination and cooperation. But whatever the cause, another name is given to him as big men who were "once" at Kansas. Perhaps some day the people of Kansas will be bigger than their legislators of the past and present, and will pay educators according to their education standards. Teaching conditions will prevail; perhaps even other things will transpire until bootiful Kansas, proud of its rank in so many fruitful fields, will not be ashamed to look at its education. Such a day will come. But Carl Becker is at already lost to Kansas.
CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed as evidence of good conduct, and published without the writer's consent.
But is the person who mutilates his desk with the glorious fact that he is a member of Alpha Phalpa, or that he had the honor to be graduated from H. E. S, in 1914, or that he is from Javilley, a college man? From his class, but what he is still obsessed by the juvenile ideas of his primary grades.
Back in the school days period of our existence we never passed judgment upon our new Barlow until we had carved our initials upon the desk and put them in the furniture in the schoolroom. If we were particularly fortunate, we carved another set of initials along with ours, and put a heart about them both. We were all young, and were all young. Some of us are still in the "dear old golden-rule days." We don't hide behind our geographies now when we leave our monuments to posterity on the desks. We are coloured and women and need have no fear.
