The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate by going to go further than merely printing the book by stand-alone holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be furious; to be courteous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; and to abilities the students of the University.

manic. ___
WE ARENT THE ONLY ONES Is there an epidemic of stealing passing over state universities just as there has been an epidemic of gripe?
It would almost seem so, judging from editors' appearing in the Indiana Student and the Cincinnati News.
Last week the Kansan requested that action should be taken by the Student Councils or University authorities against stealing that has become so prevalent of late. This week similar requests have been put forth by the publications of the University of Cincinnati and the University of Indiana.
Immediate action taken by some power in authority to inflict punishment upon the offenders seems the only remedy for this habit or practice of stealing. It is the remedy suggested by all the publications.
STEP RIGHT UP!
Are we going to have something done?
This is the time when the lazy man wants to make garden. Next summer he'll want to shovel snow.
Mr. Hadley was born in Olathe and was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1892.
Mr. Herbert S. Hadley's illness makes it probable now that there will be only one K. U. man mentioned among the "possibilities" for president. The papers state that he and Mrs. Hadley have gone to Mexico in search of a climate to benefit his health.
But surely K. U. should have more representatives than these. Will someone else come forward?
The other possibility still in the field is Senator William E. Borah of Idaho. Mr. Borah attended K. U. in the early 80's and later practiced law in Lyons, Kansas for a short time. His home is now in Boise, Idaho.
IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE
"What kind of eggs do you eat?"
"Why, hen's eggs, of course."
"Did you ever eat a duck egg?"
"No, of course not."
"Do you know of any reason wh
you should not eat duck's eggs?"
"Do you know of any reason why you should not eat duck's eggs?"
"No, I just don't do it, that's all."
“No, I just don't do it, that is an.
“You'll man, tell you why you eat hen's eggs, and not duck's eggs. When a duck lays an egg, she is a darn fool and keeps quiet about it, but when a hen lays an egg—she advertises. It pays.”
Thus does Mr. Ambrose Peale, advertising manager of the infant 13 Coap Co., demonstrate the value of advertising, in the play "It Pays to Advertise." And Mr. Peale is right.
But the author of this delightful comedy has overlooked an important fact. The hen has a staple product of standard worth to advertise. That is why her advertising pays.
On the other hand, the 13 Soap Co. never made a bar of soap during its existence, and filled its only order with plain pink Castile wrapped in old rose paper, purchased at three cents a bar, and sold for sixty cents.
By seeming to sanction the business and publicity methods of this unserpulous firm, the playwright gives the idea that advertising, good advertising, is primarily a means of fooling the public. It is not. That kind of publicity went out of date along with the wild-cat insurance company. Good advertising does not lie. It does not even deal in circumlocution and double meanings. When advertising tells the truth, and does not try to fool the consumer, then, and then only, does it "pay to advertise."
SUCH IS FAME!
When Witter Byner came out to Kansas to visit a friend he had no intention of parading himself, nor of being lionized, and the tast thought in his mind was to make speeches. He thought he would be allowed a nice little visit with his friend, would slip about and see the place, and then move on unobserved, but Mr. Byner found himself making speeches and talking to circles and classes and groups, until, according to his own statement, he felt like a cautaunqua lecturer.
Because he is a well known man, and a poet of merit, he had to show himself to the hungry mob, and feast their ears with his words of wisdom. Let it be said for Mr. Bynner that he adapted himself to the roles he was forced into, with an case that was surprising. That诗 that can be all things to all men, is indeed a wonder When Mr. Bynner comes to make another "quiet little visit," he will find a warm welcome.
Let it be hoped that it may be soon
HERE'S HOPING
The newly organized honor society, "The Knights of the Golden K," has apparently started its existence under most auspicious circumstances. It has ideales, its twenty-five members include some of the most capable men in the University, and nobody can deny that there is a field in which the organization can be of vast benefit.
The thing that such an organization needs is sustained enthusiasm and cooperation. There is not a dearth of capable men at the University and many of them have advanced excellent solutions for some of our most glaring defects.
The thing that is most needed is for the organization to attack these problems year in and year out and keep after them until they are solved. We believe and hope that the Knights will live and will continue to work with the same enthusiasm that has come into being with them.
"Students Pay $5,000 for Traveling Home," says the University Missouri. That's about what it cost the Kansas rooters Thanksgiving, after suits were pressed, new hats purchased, etc., etc.
THE "MOVIE" AN EDUCATION Every announcement of the introduction of moving pictures into the schools, supplementing and sometimes supplanting textbooks, classroom lectures and laboratory hours, is welcome by students and faculty as an indication of something that may in time lighten the labors of both. Almost every day the newspapers tell of some school that has introduced the "movies" to be used for practical advantages.
"At such a time as 'movies' at school will have become general marvelous things are destined to come about. English majors will be longer read for hours on long novels or so he says, but the mortal dramas of "rare Ben Johnson" regretting that languages suffers change as the centuries roll. On the contrary, he will sit p'asurefully while it is run off for him in an hour on the desk, for students in engineering, lawyers, journalists, the whole world will be an accessible laboratory and workshop."
This indicates that pictures are not merely an easy method of teaching but because easy, that they are to become a valuable method of general education.
REDOFIN SONG
Bayard Taylor.
BEDFULLY
From the desert it comes to snow.
And the stars are gone.
And the winds are left behind
In the speed of my desire.
Under thy window I stand,
And the night thunder bears my cry.
I love you but love three
With a love that shall not die
Till the sun grows cold,
And the stars are old,
And the leaves the judges book unfold.
Smoke Little Egypt, mild smoke, 5e
"HELLO. FELLOWS!"
Student action is desirable if that action is effective. The Executive Board of the Council should make every effort to discover the robbers who are turning into profit for themselves the trust which the majority of the students have in each other. If student action does not bring immediate results, we propose aid should be sought from the city to prevent it. This is no case of mischievous childhood, and it is highly probable that the sternest possible measures will have to be taken in order to deal with it in a positive manner.-Cincinnati University News.
A CASE FOR DECISIVE ACTION
Since the beginning of the present term there has been an alarming epidemic of stealing in the University. Students have been losing books, coats, umbrellas and even pocket-books and jewelry with such regularity that the explanation of accident is out of the question. Undoubtedly there are a few, or perhaps, several, men and women who are maniacally taking onto themselves the property of their students. This state of affairs must be remedied for the protection of the property and the honor of our community.
LET'S DO SOMETHING NOW.
Can't somebody do something to stop petty thievery around the University? Not a day passes when we hear the word "one of some one becoming a boss" loss of some cherished passion. Since the beginning of the present semester, some person or persons unknown have gone south with enough articles to stock a very good second-hand store. Each day adds its aggregate to the toll of goods and chattels that have disappeared into that vast Unknown whence it finds its seems, ere it finds itself. This state of affairs is alarming at first, but when personal property vanishes with such distressing regularity it becomes monotonous.
The well known axiom that a pleasant word doesn't cost anything seems to be doubted by many people on the campus. It seems to be the groups of fellows, meeting on the street or campus, to exchange a cheerful "howdy-do." Any decadence of so happy a custom would be a reflection of the true character at University.
In general, a man's standing among his fellows is based largely on the way he treats them. The man who lives "unto himself alone" is very likely to find, at the end of his college career, that his education, which ought to be multitude of officers, is largely consoled by his hdug out of his books. Surinness and unnatural reserve are not often mistaken for dignity. A stern visage and a pre-occupied frown become a professor much more than an undergraduate.
To greet, in passing, a group of fellow students with a pleasant "Hello men!" greeting. Once the professor makes one feel, as George Ade might say, like thirty cents. Common courtesy, if nothing else, it seems, would require that such a greeting be returned. David Harum, we think it was, said that "everybody is just as good as everybody else and sometimes a dern sight better." When on street campus it is on a common regardless of race, color or previous condition of servitude; and no man need feel ashamed to speak to his fellows or answer their greetings in return.-Indiana Daily Student.
If we have a Fagin in our midst, it is up to us to ferrit him out and convince him of the error of his way. Surely the cunning of an ordinary sneak thief is not so great that it is beyond the power of the University to find and punish him. A few days of complete rest at the "Jones Club," South Walnut Street, might be lent medicine. As the students of this University, we have the right to assurance that when we hang up our overcocks and hats in places properly designated therefor, we have at least an even chance that apparel will be there to greet us on our return.
We have written communications and editorials and made complaints without number. Now we are like the front-row gentlemen at the musical comedy—we want action. If there are any means of turning a sneak thief from the part by transgressor to the straight and narrow side of the respectable citizen find it. If it would do any good, we might even call to our assistance the sommelier and osteocephalic genders of the city. At any rate, let's do something!-Indiana Student.
LET'S DO SOMETHING NOW

Stop Talking To Cram
The University debating Society did not notice it is regular weekly meeting last night. The near approach of finals has temporarily caused some. Jack of interest in meetings because of the more proactive tone of opponents no more meetings will be held until the first week after finals.

Second, when your goods are right you must have the nerve to believe in them and to push them to the front. You must be ready to back your goods with money.
Safety razors, and typewriters, as well as many other articles now in universal use, were unappreciated until some one compelled them to be appreciated, by his never-failing nerve in sales and advertising effort.
You must take some chances. You must dare to invest your money in advertising and salesmanship so that the people may be taught what they should know, and so that you may build the selling machine necessary to develop and hold a market.
