UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas.
Phone, Bell K. U. 25.
Published in the afternoon five times a week, by students of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kansaan aims to picture the university of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news, to teach the students the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to be leave more serious problems to wiser heads; to be friendly; to ability the students of the University.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1916
THE ISSUE
The Daily Kansan is not concerned with the question of when dances should close. It does not pretend to say whether they should close at eleven o'clock or two o'clock.
The question is this:
The question is:
Isn't it a breach of confidence on the part of the Seite, after asking for and obtaining student opinion and sentiment, to pass a rule in direct opposition to that student sentiment?
Before the rule was passed by the Senate fifty representative students were assembled in the Chancellor's office and stated their opinion on the question of the closing dance hour. The committee on Student Interests then voiced an opinion similar to that expressed by the students. And in direct opposition to that sentiment the Senate passed a rule on a minority report.
Once more has this old question arisen because the student body and some members of the faculty do not agree with the Senate and its rule. The rule has been referred to representatives of the student body, both men and women, and a very decided opinion has been voiced by each committee. Now what will the Senate do? Will the sentiment of the student body be ignored again or not?
The regular meeting of the University Senate is a month away. Why not call a special meeting of that body to consider this question?
We don't see how they are going to be able to give a law course in the college unless they put some decent sized steps in front of Fraser Hall.
WHEN THE BLOOD IS COOL
The Men's Student Council found itself in a peculiar position just before the holidays when a bill was presented to it by the city authorities who had paid nearly $100 to citizens of the town for damages done to property during the rallies that were held near the close of the football season.
There is no doubt but that the damage was done. In the excitement of the moment when fuel began to run low, buildings, sheds and vehicles were found and added to the flames. Perhaps the damages are a little high and the property overvalued, but damage was done to practically that amount which the Lawrence commission has paid. Perhaps the offending students were freshmen who have dislocated ideas of right and property. But whether they were or not, the damage was done.
What is to be done about it?
The Student Council frankly admits that it doesn't know what it is going to do.
It says it has no funds. It says that there is no way to reprimand the students who did the damage because no one knows who they are. Of course there is nothing constructive that can be done now in the present case, except to find some one to pay the bills. But next year is coming and with it are coming rallies.
The time for deliberative legislative action is when the blood is cool. Laws and regulations should be passed now and be given enough publicity so that they would be thoroughly understood.
The Daily Kansan does not believe that any legislation should be attempted which would diminish the number of rallies. We didn't have enough as it was. But the Daily Kansan does think that an attempt should be made to regulate rallies. Some person or group of persons should be appointed who would have it as their special duty to collect or provide material for rally bonfires, and to regulate the actions of the students at these rallies.
This trouble can be relieved a great deal by finding out some way to pay part of these bills and find some system of regulating rallies in the future.
UTILITY FIRST!
At the present time those in charge of the memorial for the present senior class are looking about for a suitable gift to the University. Memorials are often looked upon as Christmas gifts. To make a gift especially "christmasy" it must be decidedly impractical.
There are many memorials which suggest themselves, no doubt. Some are more practical than others. The gift which will be the most appreciated and the longest remembered by the student body, will be something that can really be of use.
There are so many things about the campus that can be improved that there is no necessity for getting anything in the way of a memorial that will not be useful.
DESERVE COMMENDATION
Many of the wealthy professors a Harvard are showing their true character in assisting the university through its present financial crisis. They have refused to accept their salaries and are turning back the total amount to the regular college fund.
it is a pleasure to read about such sincere expressions of loyalty and unselfishness in this age of commercialism, and those men who made the sacrifice, however small, are to be commended as setting a noble precedent.
German soldiers are wearing muffs in the trenches to keep their hands warm, according to press reports. The next thing we know they'll adopt hoble skirts to keep the soldiers from retreating.
Now that the student directories are out it is becoming evident that the new room house contracts haven't much force.

—This book at downtown store—
But turned away without delay
The Wichita Beacon is expecting lively things around Mt. Oread this month if there is anything in a name. It anticipates a moment of the Hammer for editor-in-chief, and a Clapper for news editor.
And bolted for the door;
For I had seen in one brief look,
The man! This is a man.
The words, "This is a gripping book."
There is a good deal of similarity between the state that goes out of debt when its people need a better university and better roads and the man who mortgages his life insurance policy to buy a touring car.
It begins to look doubtful that the Kansan's Pharmacy issue had any effect in checking the ravages of the gripe.
"There's a fortune in it," said the man on the car, "for the fellow who hurries up and puts fur-trimmed stationery on the market."
Many students would make good book-keepers, so says Sincie in Southwestern College Collegian, because they never return borrowed books.

untried. Most young men when they enter college look toward the attainment of a goal still only partly conceived in their own minds. Then with uncertain feet and half opened eyes Youth more often than not loses his way and finds when his four years are nearly over that he has left from his school as when he started. If he chance, he reaches the end of the rainbow, he finds what he thought a thing of gold to be only crumbling clay.

Editor of the Daily Kaiser There is a senior in the University who believes that these of the instructors in freshman rhetoric are accustomed to assign theme subjects to the first year students that are far beyond their comprehension. This man has been appointed by his fraternity to help the freshmen with their work in English literature. He tracks track of their grades and tutors who have trouble in keeping up with their work.
jee.
And we venture to say that the average senior in the University hasn't a very clear conception or just what it is either, and that he couldn't write a satisfactory essay on the subject. We'll leave you; wasn't the subject so deep for an assignment for a freshman and the worst of it is that just such assignments are being made every day. Possibly that's one of the reasons why so many freshmen quit school.
Last week, he says, a freshman came to him and wanted him to explain what "intellectual curiosity is. The senior didn't usually know, at least he did, any subject the freshman get necessary and look up the words "intellectual" and "curiosity". They combined the two definitions and still they didn't have the slightest conception of how to class on the screen. More the evening all the seniors in the house had been called in and none of them felt equal to the task of explaining to the freshman what the instructor wanted. As a result the freshman went to class with him and the instructor quit half an hour trying to explain to him what "intellectual curiosity is. The freshman didn't understand any more about the subject when the professor through then and he has started that theme yet. He is beyond him.
A comprehension of the subject is beyond him.

THE END OF THE RAINBOW
THE ELEPHANT
Youth is commonly referred to as the springtime of life. It is looked upon as that period in man's existence when all his days are happy, when joy is in his blood, when the ways to the attainments of his ideals are made smooth and easy by unseen hands and storms come only that the sun will seem brighter on these days. It is a pretty story that has remained in literature and legend because it is not entirely untrue.
POETS BEWARF
It may be that the disappointments and disillusions of college life are necessary to fit undergraduates for the competition they are to enter in, but it may be a futile ambition to try to accomplish something really worth while in the four years at college. At this time it is not too early for freshmen too soon to senior; hence, determine whether the goal toward which they are working is a thing of gold or of clay—Cornell Daily Sun.
