The Daily Kansan ilims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the news by standing up and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be friendly; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to satisfy the needs of the University.

THE BILLS ALL PAID
For the first time in the history of the Student Council that organization boasts today of clear books and a margin on the credit side of the council ledger. For several years, an indebtedness has met the incoming councils at the beginning of each semester, and, as a legacy to those that followed, the outgoing members shunted it from their shoulders after repeated failures to liquidate it.
Back somewhere in the memory of the present seniors, a Student Union was attempted, which, after a short life, died leaving a total indebtedness of eighty dollars. This student council ghoe to assume the incumbence as had a former body and this morning the unrealized hopes of many former students were made real.
Since the council is not in debt for anything else this year, the chances are that the council will go out in June with clear books and a balance.
The Student Council, in spite of much adverse criticism this year, has been able to contend with and solve one problem which former councils with a greater prestige among the students but with a less active sense of duty allowed to rest too easily on their shoulders.

One hundred students of the University have taken the inoculation against typhoid fever. One hundred students of the University are now better equipped than the rest to go ahead and do their share in the world's work. Medicine and science have given us a method of combating a dangerous disease, but it is a common human failing that few take advantage of help of this sort.

Does the fact that twenty-seven of the ninety-four registrations for the second semester are from other schools mean anything to you? It should.
It means that there were a number of students enrolled in other schools, who saw the light and decided to come to the University of Kansas. We who are enrolled here at the University and have been from the time we were graduated from our respective high schools, do not realize the high rating old K.U has among the colleges of the country. "A propist is without honor in his own country" applies
with a great deal of force to our alma mater.
The fact that of the ninety-four registrations for the second semester, twenty-seven were transfers from other schools, should make us who are plodding along and continually complaining about our poor school sit up and rub our eyes.

An employment bureau for students has been started at the University of Nebraska which cooperates with the merchants of Lincoln in securing positions for those who wish to work their way through college.
The president of Fairmount college is to have a new home for which the board of regents has voted $8,000. This may encourage some seniors who have been debating whether or not it pays to teach in the small college.
Wilson is lecturing on "Preparedness." Bryan is following in the president's tracks and lectures on "Disarmament." And we are led back to the old problem: Is the first or the 'last impression the stronger?

And just now, at the beginning of a new semester, we would like to ask: Is it really true that if you sit on the front row in your classes you will get a better grade? - if so —！

FOUND IN A BOOK
The department of industrial journalism at the Kansas State Agricultural colleges has shown the largest margin of growth of any department of the college. Last year, the college enrolled for the entire journalism course. This year more than two hundred are taking one or more courses.
It was one of the best things I got from my education as an engineer: of which, however, as a way of life, I wish to speak with sympathy. It takes a man into the open air, and gives him the courage to marry harbours, which is the richest form of idling; it carries him to wild islands; it gives him a taste of the genial dangers of the sea; it supplies him with dexterities to exercise; it makes demands upon his ingenuity; it will go far to cure him of any taste (if he would learn) to swim in cities. And when it has done so, it carries him back and shuts him in an office! From roaring skerry and the wet wart of the tossing boat, he passes to the stool and desk; and with a memoryful of ships, and seas, he shines Pharos, he must apply his long-sighted eyes to the pretty nieces of drawing, or measuring his inaccurate mind with several pages of consecutive figures. He is a wise youth, to be sure, who chose this profession against shining

MAKE THE BEST OF IT
A merry heart, a merry laugh,
A face with lots of sun in it.
A merry tongue, a merry chaff
Then learn to leave behind you care.
A foot but walks abreast of it.
Dont be a victim to despair.
And life has no more last in it.
Well, there are fewer clouds to burst.
So why not make the best of it?
If trouble comes—and troubles will-
When others make a guest of it
Keep on a smiling face and still
And if the worst comes to the worst
Here's to the University Daily Kansan, may it continue its present policies, and may its future years be as worthy of mention as its past.
The present enrollment of the Harvard regiment is 1060, including 137 non-commissioned officers.
And if the world comes to life
And life has no more zest in it—
But always make the best of it.
—La Touche Hancock.
CAMPUS OPINION
Mr. Hancock, for many years a writer on the New York Sun is known to many University students since his visit here two years ago.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Every man or woman who has ever attended the University of Kansas cannot help but be struck by the absence of school songs. There are very few songs that have taken such a hold of the students that they have lasted from year to year. The Crimson and the Blue is the only song that has been officially published K. U. Song, "Stand Up and Cheer" is a good song, but for some reason, it is not as popular as t might be.
The University Daily Kansas is a real college newspaper. It portrays in an interesting style the life of the students at Lawrence, Kansas. Its news is well written, copy carefully edited, departmental copy written with a definite purpose. The jokes, although full of humor, are clean and wholesome. The editorials are written with real objects.
CAMPUS OPINION
Communications must be signed as evidence of good with but names will not be published without the writer's consent
At Iowa State, the condition has been much the same as here at Kansas. So an alumunus has offered a twenty-five dollar prize for the best football song. It would be a great gift to the University of Kansas if some old grad would do the same for us. We have the talent to originate a good song. When the need is a strong one, the need is an interest to make it be accepted. We should have a song or a number of songs that will live in the hearts of all K. U. We should have songs that will be sung with the same spirit and loyalty twenty years from now that they are today; songs that will grip the hearts of the old grads, and set them to singing with the same spirit and loyalty twenty years in their own freshman days. Singing will soften people and bring them together as no other thing will. We need a song or two that will fire the students on the Hill with a loyalty for Kansas, and will bring the tears to the eyes of old men and women twenty years from now.
WE BLUSH
The following extract taken from the Daily Oklahomaan concerning our birthday number makes us feel good. "I want to parson our ecrism in reprinting it."
"Please excuse our immodesty; you see it's our birthday number," says a cartoon on the front page of the January 20, issue of the University Daily Kansan, one of the livestreams of the Mississippi river. This issue, carrying a large number of cats and cartoons, portrays the growth of a student publication in the University of Kansas since the establishment of the "Observer of Nature" in 1874, after the foundation of the university.
Musical.
In addition to the regular daily news from Mt. Oread, this issue contains stories giving the location and background of the authors of different Kansan student publications. Many of them are now in responsible editorial positions on papers not only in the Jayhawk state but all over the United States.
Scattered throughout the eight pages are stories dealing with the various phases of the growth and development of the different papers, including besides the "Observer of Nature," the "Kansas College," the "Utah University," the "Kansas Review," the "Times," and finally the "University Daily Kansan," which was established in 1912.
The University Daily Kansan claims the credit for many reform campaigns and improvements on Mt. Orend and other places. It was, according to one article appearing in this issue, the first student publication to rule out the carrying of cigarette advertisements in its columns. Another artistry project involved 16 students enrolled in the Department of Journalism is given actual newspaper experience by the Kansan editors.
