Phone. Bell K. U. 25. The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate at UC Berkeley to go further than merely printing the text on paper. University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be generous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to understand the university's students of the University. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1916. When n stone leaves the hand it be longs to the devil—Bible. OPPORTUNITY KNOCKS Much is heard, of late, of University state-service work. The University helps the farmer, the merchant, the manufacturer; it takes education to the people through the extension department. Indirectly it serves the state by raising the intellectual status of the people. In spite of all this the university is missing an opportunity to be of vital service to the people. A university is supposed to give not only intellectual but ethical and moral training. We overemphasize the former; we neglect the latter. Why not have spiritual or religious training in the University? Other nations say we lack national ideals, we lack spiritual impulse; it is a common indictment that we are a nation without a soul. If it be true that our finer national attributes are fading as we pay obesience to the dollar sign, what institution, what force other than the university have we to counteract this deterioration? The pulpit? Men trained in theological seminaries seldom see the many sided issues of the day, and less seldom hold the attention of hard headed politicians. Public officials? But our public men are drawn largely from the universities and if they have no ideals in college surely public life does not tend to foster them. Journalists and authors? They too receive the brilliancy intellectual and materialistic college training. Meanwhile any spiritual impulse the student has received has been hapazard, a mere by-product of some accredited course. Any ideals he may have formulated he hides under a coat of cynicism of reserve that helps him little and the world less. Then he goes out in the world and does one of two things usually, either promptly forgets or still hides his ideals. And then the world accuses us, as Henry Osborn Taylor says, of lacking vital motive power sufficient to lift us into something higher than a digestive and nutritive organism. Yet the university, the public service advocate, will not acknowledge the value of religious teaching in the curriculum! About the nerve of Pi! Couldn't one call it "Pi crust?" "TO BE OR NOT TO BE" "The time is out of joint; O curse That ever I was born to set it **melt!"** Figure: the appearance of Sir Johnston Forbes-Robertson tonight in "Hamlet" is an occasion that will be remembered for a long time by the drama-lovers of Lawrence. Not often does a town the size of Lawrence have the opportunity of seeing the greatest living Shakespearean. That the students and townpeople appreciate this fact is shown by the enormous seat sale that has preceded the performance. A full house will greet the actor's "To be or not to be." The secret of the popularity of "Hamlet" lies in the fact that the play, as no other, shows human beings what they really are. "We are all Hamlets" is the way that one critic puts it. The universal weakness of human-kind, that of indecision, is there displayed to the best advantage by the master dramatist of them all. It is well that the people of Lawrence and the students are going to 'his play, because— It's an unweeded garden that goes to seed." Stude... rude. Girl... curl. Slap... yap. Stude howls Sour Owls. HEAR "VOX POPULI" Although every boy is a potential candidate for the presidency of the United States—a la Irving Bacheller—it must be admitted that there are some who have better chances than others. The odds are seventeen to none, with college students taking the long end of the money. And figures don't lie, even if an eastern newspaper statistician did compile them. Only one person out of 750 goes to college, but seventeen of the twenty-seven presidents have once called for "86" and even may have had to wear freshmen caps. The vice-presidency—the political graveyard—has been turned with nineteen out of twenty-seven occupants by the colleges of the land. In the Hall of Fame, half of the thirty-four were once compelled to stand in line all day for registration and enrollment, for the remedying of which evil, Dean Templin has promised another place—so the percentage is likely to be higher soon. In Congress, the excellencies of college politics have been completely demonstrated. From the ranks of the hand-shaking, wire-pulling, pie-distributing, sleuth-footers, sixty-one of the ninety-three senators have been picked, and 272 out of the 395 Congressmen. On the Supreme Court Bench, the colleges bat one thousand, every judge being a college graduate. And yet, there are people who think that a college education doesn't pay! Observations Hermeneutical About Things Academical Editors have oft assigned me Little stants to do in rhyme For which others oft remind me That I should be doing time. A Fellow Sufferer. A political picket created a sensation in a recent election at Berkley, Co., by challenging the vote of every college man who entered the polls, on the grounds of mental incompetency. Must have been a prof in masquerade. No nose can stand too many patches, such as those from University wounds. Who knows? Student (at station)—What? A dollar and or an upper? Why? A dollar and or an lower? Harvard's strongest man—the man who smashed all strength records this year. Ticket Agent—I know. But, you see, the birth rate has increased since the 1960s. Sociologically Speaking "Who holds the lock?" (Very Subtle) — Only 50,000 times. College Student (sings in the taxi) "None but the Brave can stand the stares." Oh. Girls Wit Every Kappa Knows The Brave Come. Now "Is that the key to heaven?" Only 240,000 times If silence is golden, few women are worth their weight in gold, witizes the Minnesota Daily. Evidently the scribe who wrote that never sat through an evening with a date who couldn't talk. "I is that the key to your heart?" Sprung only 3,400,000 times. Making a song to ease his heart. (Yet do not break the song too soon— I love to sing to the piling moon.) The petals are failing, heavy with The stars have fainted out of the sky. Come to me, come, or else I too, Faint with the weight of love will Lady, light in the east hangs low, Draw your vells of dream apart, Under the canda stands Pierrot Some of our faculty wander in subterranean caverns, stumbling over dead men's bones. Rescue them, that they may see the light of Today. Golden treasures he hoarded within the stacks of our library, while many are those in great need. Set not your heart up until you have relieved their distress. he comes—alas, I hoped to make Another stanza for her sake!) —Sara Teadale. Many hundreds of students are sentenced to the daily dullness of conversation at a boarding house or dormitory, lacking the pacefulness of conventionality; struggling derer the burden of assignments, with no time for the out-of-doors, no time to turn over treasured volumes, no time to discuss things out no time to live. Help them. There are Great Adventures awaiting us daily on Mount Oread. We would love to see you. These are Great Adventures. These are Fortress on your quest. The day is yours. But if there are too many lowbrows ir college, so there are too many highbrows. One highbrow is one too many, if for no other reason than because it makes a breeder of lowbrows. Nothing makes a highbrow living with a highbrow. And perhaps it works the other way round, also; but since becoming a highbrow is the more conscious reaction of the two, it should be the mose easily controlled that, whether in college or out university, lowbrows halfway and abolish forever the need of frontal measurement. —New York Tribune. Mountain heights and canyon fastnesses have discovered their wonders to my eyes. I have slept beneath the pines in the unbroken forests of the Appalachian Mountains, the Indian in southern lands; and stood beneath the rose-hued dome of a Kansas sunset, with no tree nor hill top to break the line of my horizon. I felt felt the heat of the desert on my cheek; and the salt spray of the ocean, as I stood at the steamer's prow. I have gone alone into strange lands, people, hearing unknown tongues; and strangers guarded my loneliness. To the Daily Kansan: Communications must be signed as evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent CAMPUS OPINION On a day, I chose a name for myself. Freely translated, it means Inspiration. From that day, with my sympathy, I have turned many from the sorrows and shame of yesterday to faces toward the dawn of Tomorrow. A Free Lance. 1916. Yet these were not my Great Adventures. For I have experienced the great association, where a fine and a bustling city stands, the presence of men and women, where each spoke freely the high thoughts that should come to him, where each respected the thoughts of his neighbor, willing to life the level of daily endeavor. I have turned the hearts of some from bitter cynicism to most revient faith, and set the mark of peace upon their brows. It is only too evident that most of us have been classifying our brothers with a lack of particularity amounting almost to looseness. We have been taught to avoid roughness, and we have been confusing social with intellectual opprobrium. If Dr. Jordan's codification of these epithets be accepted, the low-brow need suffer under no social constraints (and "practical," while the highbrow is "practical enough." In other words, the lowbrow he is who is given to the purely objective and concrete view of things. He has a fondness for the female form in hand; he prefers football to philosophy, the market place to the library. I have forsworn the society of friends to hold the hand of a dying woman, whose eyes were closing upon scenes in a land of exile, where neither kindred nor lifelong companion brought comfort to her last hours. These were my Great Adventures. For I believe the Great Adventures are not those to be found for from the earth, they are rather a part of our daily lives and in most of all, in our associations and in the realm of our thoughts. We all know what a highbrow is, but there seems to be some divergence of view regarding the lowbrow. Dr. David Starr Jordan has just explained how it can only one degree removed from a round face, this will seem rather more confusing than enlightening, since many of us have accustomed to using the two terms, roughneck and lowbrow, interchangeably. The good doctor even refers to a large class of undergraduate, roughnecks, we know, never go to college, they scorn the very suggestion with an absurd contempt. Under the easement stands Pierrot Making, a song, to ease his heart. If it is news that you want every other student to know, phone K. U. 25 and put it in the Kansan.
