The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate internship at the University, so we go further than merely printing, the news by standing up and speaking. We play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be chaotic; to be careful; to have more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the students' security the University.
TUESDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1915.
"Blessed is he, who has found his
work; let him ask no other bless-
ing."
WHERE WILL WE COAST?
It froze the other morning; possibly you noticed it and shivered if you were up early enough. And maybe you thought about the snow that is coming and about the good times that you are going to have when coasting season comes. But—did you think about where you are going to coast? Do you know that there isn't a place in the city limits where you can legally slide down hill on a sled.
It's the same old problem and apparently the University authorities are going to let the first snow fall before they do anything about it. The question was agitated all last winter and the students were assured that something would be done. It hasn't, and probably we will break the city law again this year and coast on Adams or Indiana street until one of us gets killed and then we'll wonder why the University authorities didn't find us a place for coasting on the golf links.
And why don't they?
ANOTHER "NEW ONE"
"Municipal Ownership of Telephones" is the subject of an editorial in the recent issue of "Kansas Municipalities," the official organ of the League of Kansas Municipalities. The short article mentions "the unresupicious, corrupting and debasing influence" of the telephone trust and ventures to prophesy that the people of Kansas will—maintaining their reputation for leadership—take the initial step in the "desired direction."
One of the first mentions made of the proposed plan was in the report by K. D. Burgess, of Larned, chairman of public ownership committee of the league. "The public, is gradually awakening to the situation," he says, "and it will not be long until municipal telephones will be taken as a matter of course assemble municipal light plants now. We are watching with interest the attempt of some Kansas city along this line. The town that takes the initial step will win no mean distinction and will reflect credit on all Kansas municipalities."
THE COLLEGE COURSE
Tradition is responsible for our attending school but nine months out of the year. How about the wisdom of it?
With the Summer Session extended to ten weeks, it is now possible for students to do in three summers a full year of college work. As soon as the demand justifies it, courses sufficiently varied will be offered in the Summer Session to enable a student to complete in three years and three summers exactly the same curriculum which he can now complete in four nine months' terms. Why not save that year?
To most young people it is a long
pull before they are able to enter into their life's work. The shortening of that pull by a year will be of great advantage to a large number. And why not? Surely we do not need the summer months to rest. No school career is wisely spent which draws heavily enough upon physical strength to make necessary the summer months for recuperation. We believe that students should gain in strength and vigor throughout each year of their college course. If you do, then the summer school would be as profitable as any other session of the year. Think over while at home this vacation time. Then talk to the folks about it.
HOW INCONSISTENT
Thousands a day are dying from hunger or wounds or general hardships in the immense world war; and we are becoming so accustomed to the news that we skip over a lot of it with a mere shake of the head. Lives that are passing out have little interest for us these days, but we read with pleasure of the birth of a little child, a fourth son to the Empress Sadoko of Japan. Removed from the noise of the machine guns a little almond-edy baby began its life in the flowery kingdom, and a whole world stopped in its way the fraction of a second to read the news.
A LEND-A-HAND COURSE?
Why not a lend-a-hand course in every University? The idea suggested by J. D. Hoffman in The North American Student for November has possibilities. It makes no difference what the course is called. Perhaps the faculty would favor the title "The Development of the Sociabilities," or "Deference and Courtesy." Whatever the name, the spirit would be the same, and have for its foundation plain, simple, human kindness.
Chief among the prerequisites would be honesty, simplicity, courtesy, sincerity, sympathy, cheerfulness, and enthusiasm.
Of course the value of the course would be derived primarily from laboratory work on the campus.
BASHFUL P. Gs?
The Graduate Club is having a hard time to get together this year. Little interest seems to be taken in it. Only fifteen have signed up for the club, and many of these do not go to the meetings.
What is the trouble? Don't our graduate students feel at home here? Haven't they become "acclimated" yet? They should feel as personal an interest in K, U, as do the undergraduates. The University was built just as much for them as for anyone. Perhaps they are bashful. Who knows?
A PUZZLE POEM
I met her at the seashore inn, I loved her on the spot;
vowed 1d win her for my bride if Pa agreed or not.
I told her I was very rich and that my heart was her's;
heart was nef's;
give them everything on earth
did give them money to flee
I came. I saw. She conquered
She promised to elope with me! I'd best have show on tv.
meet her sharp at ten
*Pa'd be asleep* `I'll flash a light`
Pad'd be asleep—I'd flash a light first once and then again.
He grabbed a gun and blew apart the steering shaft and fan.
I came. She saw. We conquered.
She opened blinds and window sash
—ah, everything was fine.
That eve came on and just at ten h gave the promised sign;
We skipped to where I'd left the car
—Pa. heard us as we跑.
—Tiger.
He bellowed out to come straight back—(he was as mad as hops)
She told me we had best obey "No aim's more sure than Pop's."
This is the time of year when a student begins to hunt up his worst prof, and tell him how much he has on courses. He will have courses he will have next semester.
We came: Pa's sore
Women in the University of Indiana are to have complete charge of one edition of the University paper, that a bunch of interviews there will be!
The Women's Student Government Association now has an excuse for existence. It is to keep a card index of all freshmen women.

Twelve men of iron, drinking bate,

There was a thourand be-

Next day was crucified.
Pleased to the one we call divine—
Twelve men of God raised up the sign
And pledged in conserved wine:
"The Day?"
Now sinless hundred years have
passed.
The day—whose shall it be at last,
Oh Christ!
P. Nut ventures to suggest that the art exhibition, representing the work of twenty-five artists, which is coming to the University, "has nothing" on the exhibit of painting that travels around the Hill every day.

CAMPUS OPINION
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
The University of Kansas should not be a home of knockers, but it seems that the good shirt K. U. is rapidly turned toward trouble waters and that the knockers have water using the Daily Kansan as a means to express their dissatisfaction.
An honest confession is good for the soul, but who would think of asking the Registrar for a loan to take a date down town?
-Charles Alexander Richmond.
I refer to the insinuations that have been made as to the policy which the editors of the 1916 Jayhawkier are going to follow. In the communication column we have had pleas to keep the Jayhawkier free from politics and from personal influences, so it would seem that some of the knockers have found out just what is going to be in the paper already, and the copy hasn't been written, the pictures haven't been taken, the rough plan for the book hasn't been made, but the knockers are confident that there is going to be dirty work and they are howling in advance.
If there is no use crying over split milk, there is certainly no use crying before the milk is spit. Possibly it will not be.
Above all else remember that it is better to pawn your frat pin than a real frat pin.
Honesty
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
At the beginning of the term a solicitor for the University Daily Kansan came to me and attempted to sell me a subscription. I turned him down and more than that I turned him down hard. The reason I gave him was that the Kansan was not a representative of the student body, that it was ensured by the professors and for that reason I did not want it.
I feel that in the past, at least since I have been on the Hill, that this criticism holds true but recently the policy of the paper has changed. The Kansan told Missouri what it thought of her action regarding the glee club trip and in so doing expressed the sentiment of the paper's body and Tuesday night I picked up a copy of the paper at the club that bore an editorial on the revision of the dance rule that was a "dandy".
I want to commend the paper on its stand and take this opportunity to hope that the Kansan from now on will get some backbone and take definite stands on issues of interest to university students.
CLIP OUT. 1916
Have your diploma framed at once it soon wrinkles.
Learn the rules of the game before you try to change them.
Remember that while the world is your oyster it takes some practice to use them.
Your first conviction will be that your employer is an ass and that his business is about as standoff as a wine wagon. (A) w13 to wope and take a cold bath.
Get a "job" while the other chaps are hunting for "positions."
The day before you reform the world try your hand out by teaching your sister's kitten not to play with your house slippers.
Remember that while you may have had your picture in the paper as the captain of the crew it is just like that everybody didn't keep a conv.
Although you may be convinced that you are about to turn the world upside down remember that the foot should realize it white it is still 'right side up.
When this wicked old place makes you so melancholy that you want to recite Ham's soliloquy go and ask the boss for a little more work to do.
It is well to observe the office rules, even though your "Essays on the categorical imperative" took first prize.
Having landed one try and act like a freshman again.
