The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, than merely printing the book than merely printing the 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 provide students with the students of the University. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1916. A solitary man is either a brute or an angel. —Ital. HAIL. THE MILLENIUM! The stacks are to be open at night! The millennium, long since due, seems to have arrived. Henceforth the physics clock may run; the legislature may give the University enough money to finish the Administration Building; the faculty may grant a College Day; the professors may cease holding classes overtime; the directories may be out before spring and may even be correctly printed; and students may never flunk again— The stacks are to be open at night! Aside from the fact that it is regarded by some as a certain harbinger of the millennium—and furthermore, speaking seriously—the news that the stacks are to be kept open at night comes as mighty cheering news to Mr. Average Student. Nearly every one has been annoyed in times past because the stacks were not open after six o'clock. Many students, representing a purposeful minority, have their outside work—that of providing daily bread and butter—so arranged that it has been $x$ absolutely impossible for them to do extensive reading that necessitated getting material from the stacks. To these students, the new system comes as a godsend. Other students, who have been stirred by a restless desire to do reading on things not prescribed in their courses, have been hindered by the arbitrary rules of the library, which by this act have been in a measure mitigated. And, again, it will prove a boon to the students who have the time during the afternoon but who would prefer spending a few stray moments in the evening delving in the hidden secrets of the stacks. Students read little enough as it is, and any effort by the authorities to increase the amount, should be appreciated. The students who will use the stacks at night from necessity, from preference or by chance, thank Miss Carrie Watson for this latest sign of her sympathy with their interests. AGE—FIFTY YEARS A lusty, kicking youngster, with wide open eyes staring at the strange new world, was born fifty years ago. As years went by the child grew stronger, until today there is in place of a helpless infant, someone strong and useful to the world. So it was with the Young Women's Christian Association. When first born into the world fifty years ago it was weak, but has grown with the years to be strong, full of life, always working for the good of young women. At the banquet Tuesday night, University women celebrated the birthday of the organization, and congratulated each other on the success and good work that had been done by the Association—and congratulations are in order from the entire student body. The Y. W. C. A. in the fifty years of its life has supported and carried out innumerable ideas that were of great help to women in religious and social life. May the Young Women's Christian Association continue its good work! May it have many more birthdays, each marking the milestone of a 'year's good work. Congratulations! The nerve of some people! Why, some of those basketball teams have the presumption to come up to K. U. where the inventor of the game stays, and demonstrate how it should be played. THE DEVIL AND THE SEA THE DEVIL AND THE SEA On with the dance closing question! The University Senate is blaming the student organizations; the men and the women petitioners are blaming each other, with both of them combining to hurl invectives at the Senate. The Senate while giving an evasive answer to all petitioners, murmurs under its breath, "there's more to this dance closing question, Horatio, than is dreamt of in your philosophy classes." The women who have petitioned the Senate ask for one hour of closing and the men are asking for another. And both are getting angry because neither suggestion is acted upon. Far be it from us to unduly laud the merits of the University Senate, for they have always been wont to turn down our College Day schemes, our grading systems, etc., but in this case, they are acting in the right. Until the students organizations unite in their proposals as to the closing hour, the Senate has nothing to do but wait. Axiom for sliding down Adams Street; Modesty is the best policy. LET'S PULL TAFFY The senior women have announced that they are going to have a real mixer, soon with taffy pulling and the good feeling of friendship that goes with such an evening. The best part of the announcement however, is that this first mixer is not to be the last one. Seniors are beginning to realize that their time is growing short. Friendships are made in the University that last for a lifetime, and any entertainment that tends to make new friendships and cement old ones, is worthy of the highest commendation. The men in the senior class, while as taffy pull might not appeal to them a great deal, could find considerable enjoyment in a good rousing smoker. When will it be? Properly speaking:—A. K. U. Eng- lish professor. "Some men mean by college spirit something finer than lawlessness, dissipation, and rowdyism. They mean the loyalty of an institution which makes a student guard its good name by being manly and courteous in conduct at all times and in all places. They mean the sense of responsibility which aids a student in forming habits of temperance and industry. They mean that eagerness to make a grateful use of his opportunities which leads a student to keep his own body fit, his mind alert and thoughts pure. By college spirit some men mean this and far more; they mean that loyalty to a college which rivets a man to the severest tasks of scholarship, through which he gains intellectual power and enthusiasm, without which no graduate is an entire credit to any college; and finally they mean that vision of an ideal life beyond commencement which shows a man that only through the rigid subordination of transient and trivial experiences can he hope to become the only great victory a university ever wins—a trained, devoted, and inspired alumnus, working for the welfare of nankind."—The Atlantic Monthly. COLLEGE SPIRIT To the Editor of the Kansan: Advisers, the students' mental physicians, who administer courses destined to shape the college career of our students, to which they may go for intimate confidences regarding their work and instruction. in their hands alone, lies the fate of every student, for often words of cheer and encouragement during an academic crisis may weaken us with the pressure to forgive him to come out of the fray unsaddicted. CAMPUS OPINION Communications must be signed us evidence of good faith but names will not be published without the writer's consent —The Oracle. CAMPUS OPINION THESE NAMES! Advisers, (and there are some) who stand you off with a ten-foot pole, steering you into impractical courses from which only cultural benefit can be derived, are the ones who feel the storm of critics from fire-side critics should be hurled in 42 centimeter broadsides instead of the over burdened shoulders of the unfortunate college student. The number of men to enter Leeland Stanford University for the first time next year without at least a year and a half advanced standing will be limited to 450 the first and to 50 the second semester. Measures have been taken for raising scholarship to the highest possible level. THE BUSINESS OF GREEK Years ago when the good old-fashioned names of John, Charlie, Ezekiel and Silas were in vogue, there was no particular difficulty in distinguishing the sex by the name of John. It wasn't unnounced that John would take dinner at the home that night, it didn't fuss father one bit. He knew that John was only a man and that it would be perfectly permissible for him to welcome the guest without his collar. But the other hand, his loving offspring informed him that Myrtle was to be their guest, father at once began to throw fits all over the room. That meant that his hair must be smoothened with an oily clean and neat, his shoes polished and his necklace at the proper angle. Send the Daily Kansan home. But now things are so different. The modern daughter announces that Frances and Marion will arrive in their new racecar at 4:15, father immediately prepares to meet two charming young sportswomen. Instead, what happens? Daughter introduces him to two "molly coddles." Again mother rushes frantically into father's den to tell him that she has just had a 'phone call from daughter saying that she is bringing Billy Smith home to lunch. Father demands to know whether Billy Smith is a boy, girl, man, woman or child. Mother judges Fohl his connection to the nightlight a boy. Father's joy knows no bounds. He can greet Billy in his den with a good old smelly pipe in his mouth. But Behold! when daughter ushers in a vision of loveliness, eyes aglow and hair acuire- and introductory to the sand-and father proceeds therewith to wilt. DANCING There are 52,400 bound volumes of books and magazines in the library of the Kansas State Agricultural college. That a student's line of activity after getting out of college is not necessarily bounded by proxie law, medicine, or business, is shown by a California graduate's taking up the business of an interpretive dancer and scoring a decided success within six months after graduation. The following from the Daily Californian gives the whole story: 2696 P. F. To rise in six months from the part of an amateur interpretive dancer in the Greek Theatre to the position of dancing partner with the world famous Pavilion has been the monumental fortune of H. J. Stowits 75 While in college, Stowitz studied commerce, graduating last May with his bachelor's degree. A few days ago, Stowitt's big opportunity came. Pavlova had inadvertently another famous Russian ballet to witness her last New York appearance, and she was famously "Adagio" from Faust, Voiline, met with an accident which kept him from appearing. Stowitts was chosen to take his place, and with only two hours' practice, he filled the part of the missing star, Pavlova, in her recalled with his partner, the "incomparable Pavlova." The story of Stowits' leap into prominence is short and sudden, but his rise was due as much to his own consistent efforts as to good fortune. He was also the first Greek Theatre he advised him to secure a vaudeville engagement to gain stage confidence. Stowits did this, and was so successful that he became Russian ballet when he met her again in Chicago a short while after. Do You Read Ads?
