The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in-depth life of a go further than merely printing the news, and grandly proclaiming that college could; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful to be charitable; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to appreciate the students of the University.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 27, 1916.
Some men go mad by studying much
more, and they study more,
studying good to know—Franklin.
FIRST OR LAST!
Kansas is optimistic if nothing else.
If she cannot be first, she strives to
be last and then claims that she is
first.
The most dishonorable state in Kansas is to be neither first not last. That is the unpardonable sin.
And Spooner Library ranks next to last.
The library that has the distinction of being first in being last, is the Corpus Christi College library at Cambridge College. This library cannot be unlocked without the common consent of three officials who carry keys to the three separate locks. If at any time twelve books are out of the library, the library legacy goes to another college by the will of the donor.
But sometime, drew irrevocably to modern ideas, that library is going to allow those twelve books to get out. Then will Spooner rank first.
We will not even have to purchase three keys for three officials.
It will not require the output of any money to carry us to this position. Possibly that will be one reason why we can get there so easily.
One key and one lock and one official has proved all that is necessary to keep inviolable the stacks of Spooner Library.
K. U. HOSPITALITY
K. U. hospitality is not an unknown quantity among the students at the University—but do our friends over the state know all this? Probably not, but a good opportunity is going to come to the students the week of February 7 to 11 to show what real hospitality means.
If you are not sure that a merchant from your town will be here see Mr F. R. Hamilton, Director of the Extension Department. All those who will attend have registered with him.
It's your chance to show the home folks that you are true blue, not college snobs.
WHO GETS THE PRIZES?
WHO GETS THE PRIZES?
Students should take more interest in the various contests that are being offered in essay writing in the University and over the country. It is not so much the monetary value of the prize offered which is worth while, but the good that is bound to result to the student working in such a contest.
Of the many contests in Economics, in Dramatics, in Peace, which are offered each year to college students over the United States, no one has of
late been able to carry off a prize from the University of Kansas. Our student body is surely as intelligent as any. We surely have individuals who are capable of turning out a prize-winning paper.
Is there insufficient interest in such contests, or is K. U, too busy with other more important matters? We refuse to ask if there are none whose ability permits of winning such a prize, in competition with other college and University students.
COLLEGES AT THE TRAPS
Eight years ago the first college gun club in this country was organized at Yale. Shortly afterward, Dartmouth, Harvard, Princeton, Columbia, Penn State and Williams followed.
Several years ago the Yale club decided to employ a coach, the three-year eligibility rule went into effect, and freshmen were barred from the representative teams. Today the four teams in the Intercollegiate Trapshooting Association, Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Cornell and Dartmouth, are awarded letters, numerals and intercollegiate trophies.
Trapshooting is recognized as much as other minor sports at eastern universities and colleges and the trend of the lay enthusiast is to make it an instructive sport.
If trapshooting is good for the East why not the West? Why couldn't Kansas shoot at clay birds and meet Missouri or any other school in this new sport?
A LITTLE BAIT
How do college songs come into being?
Possibly all that have been written in the past were written because of a spontaneous and overflowing love for Alma Mater. Possibly—but we don't know. However they came, Columbia proposes to have a new song.
Columbia isn't waiting on any chance visit of the muse. She is throwing out a little bait; bait that is worthy of consideration, even at Columbia. A cup and $100.00 is offered for the best school song submitted under the following conditions: The words and music must be original. No adaptation will be considered. Words and music may be the work of one or of two men, and in making the award, the words and music will be judged as a unit. Furthermore, songs submitted will be judged for their spirit, their musical quality and their adaptation to general student singing.
Columbia would probably not consider it unfair competition or the violation of any existing statute if other colleges and universities adopted the plan in order to produce something new with an atmosphere which "belongs."
If the book exchange is efficiently handled, one may be able to procure at a reasonable price a complete set of notes for that course next semester.
Better think twice before sending our actors up there to Lincoln. It's a rough place. And be sure to take that heavy paper-knife.

And ocean rolls obedient tq his man datory word.
"Roll on, thou deep blue ocean roll! another voice was heard.

"Blow, blow, thou winter wind," the third one gave command.
"Thou, too, sail on, O ship of State," a poet once did sing;
And every winter now we hear n blow to beat the band. —Boston Transcript.

Two shall be born, the whole wide would smart.
Shall cross, escaping wreck, defying death;

And speak in different tongues, and have no thought
And all uncontrollably shape every act,
and each wander back step to this
That, one day, out of darkness they shall meet
"Too few instructors are interested in education.
The promoters of this institution contend that one who is a master of a subject is not necessarily a good teacher of that subject, and they say that it is possible to graduate from almost any college without an idea in one's head.
"With high specialization often goes absorption in specialty.

Communication must be signed or evidenced of good faith. See the notice without the writer's consent.
To back up these statements they cite five reasons which were presented in a report by President Butler of Columbia. The reasons are—
to the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars was asked to construct a middle section of the Administration Building. This section will be built upon the foundation already laid just west of the present "Ad" building. It will feature the University administration offices.
The Lawrence Business College will organize new classes in shorthand and typewriting. February 1- Adv.
But what K. U. needs most just at present is more classrooms. Too, the administration could easily use more teachers; too many are too small and in some of the departmental offices the teachers are packed like sardines in a can. But this lack of teachers affects two-thousand students.
CAMPUS OPINION
"Preliminary and introductory explanations should be made to show students the purpose and method of a course.
According to the architect's estimate, it would cost about $150,000 to build the west wing of the Administration building. This would contain as many rooms as the present wing. Since this is the case, why would it not be better business to let the most expensive room be built in the university—and build the west wing first? That would materially relieve the present congestion.
In view of this, does it not seem availble to devote a new building—when a new building be built—to classrooms rather than to offices?
The removal of the administration offices from Fraser Hall will vacate only six rooms—the present quarters of the administration.
It would cost $100,000 less than the promised middle section.
TO EDUCATE EDUCATORS IN
EDUCATING
"The psychological, not logical order should be followed in presenting matter to students."
A new Institute of Public Service directed by Dr. J. W. Allen has been founded with the purpose of educating professors in the art of teaching. As astonishing as is the purpose of this new institute is the fact that it is fully endowed with funds and is not asking contributions.
"Teachers are careless as to everything which affects a student's manners, speech, conduct and sense of proportion.
Yes, we want more offices, and we hope we will get them, but first we want more classrooms.
eyes.
—Susan Marr Spawlding.
"There is a bad tradition which so largely prevents the inspection and supervision of the work of young teachers by their elders.
"Every lesson, however familiar its subject matter, should be carefully prepared by the instructor.
"There is a misleading and mischievous notion that one who is a master of a subject is thereby of necessity a good teacher of that subject."
"Dealing with only one student in the time of a whole class should be stopped.
The six correctives for college teaching which are given in the same report are even more interesting. They are:
"Mere lecturing should not be tol-
erated—much less my drerying.
"Class room work of younger man should be observed by elders.
do you rely on your own judgment, or do you take the dealer's word? To trust entirely to the former is unwise unless you know clothes as an expert. On the other hand, it is very essential that you are sure of the dealer and his standing.

I AM NOT AFRAID OF WORK1 and want something to do to enable me to go to school this semester. Although I am a skilled artist, carrying a card in a national union, I will wash windows, do housework, dig ditches and water all hours arranged so that I have from 12:30 to 5 o'clock open, and all day Saturday.
