The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of Joel, who travels further than merely printing the news by standing up to critics and playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be smart; to have more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve the university community; in the face of the University.

SOME REGULATION NEEDED
The practice of tacking notices to the sash of the doors in the bulletin board, that was given to the University by the class of 1915, is fast ruining the sahes and unless the practice is stopped the memorial will be seriously marred.
When the class of 1915 gave the bulletin board to the University they took it for granted that the members of the study body would appreciate it. The majority of the students do appreciate it. Shall we stand by and see the board improperly used? It is somebody's business to see to it that the cards are placed inside the doors or upon the soft board faces that have been provided.
THE FIRST SNAG
A fool there was and he wasted time
In the fall of his freshman year,
On girls and parties and picture
And now is no longer here.
' shows
And why he did it no one knows,
For he flunked his quizzes, the story
And now is no longer more.
Every so often, the peacefully flowing stream of the student's existence is disturbed by the presence of snags in the channel. The coming of the sixth week of the present semester brings us to one of those obstructed passages. The first quizzes of the year are upon us, or to go with the original figure, we are upon them. Five weeks we have drifted along, perhaps, studying only enough to get through a recitation, listening to professors lecture and enjoying ourselves generally. Now we are due for a little action. We must sit up straight and steer a true course or we are liable to be caught on a snag.
WHAT WILL WE DO?
Illinois had her annual Home Coming last week. The leading events with which they entertained their alumni were the play, "Green Stockings," given by the student dramatic club, the class sack rush, the senior hobo parade and, of course, the football game between the University of Illinois and the University of Minnesota.
With our Home Coming so near, it seems that it would be worth while to take a few "pointers" and provide some really enjoyable entertainment for those who still manifest a lively interest in Alma Mater.
THE LITTLE THINGS
She came away from the reserve shelf with a number of books in her arm. There was only one copy of each book and she wanted to be sure that no one else would get them before she did. Soon other members of the class came in looking for the same books. There were none on the shelf, so a search was begun. At
tast the searchers came to her. "Are you using all these books?" they inquired. And she grudgingly gave over a few of them. It's the little things that count.
UP TOP
When Clifford G. Roe, assistant to the prosecuting attorney of Chicago, and of national reputation as one of the men who draughted the Mann law, visited the University last summer, he declared that if he were a student at Kansas he would spend half an hour on the top of Fraser Hall every day absorbing the view of the Kaw river that is to be had to the north and the east of the building. "Then the student could read Lanier with appreciation." Mr. Roe asserted, "and he would leave the University more of a poet and with a better appreciation of poetry than if he had taken a five hour class in the subject."
Whether or not Mr. Roe was right, it is certain that we of the University have an opportunity to obtain a love for nature and an appreciation of natural scenery that the students of no other Kansas school have.
"HELLO" AND A SMILE
Did you ever have the whole day spoiled for you by running on to one of these habitual gloom merchants the first thing in the morning? One of that cheerful sort of people who always look as though they had just left a meeting of the Mutual Despair and Hope-All-Gone-Society. Sends a chil shooting up your spine and dissipates blackness all through the atmosphere in big chunks. Makes no difference how cheerful you were before you feel as strong before the day is over—flunk a quiz, break a leg or be asked to denote. Brrrr. Pass the icebergs.
On the other hand don't you like to meet up with a person the minute you hit the campus who shouts out a cherry "Hello" and then follows it up with one of those smiles that makes everything look brighter and makes you feel better—take the camera and forces you to smile back whether you think you want to or not? Changes the whole day for you, doesn't it?
What's the use of being a clam anyway? Why not why up and be a little sunshine distributor yourself? Speak to everybody. Make them think that you are interested in them to the extent of at least recognizing that they are alive. When you pass a person regularly every day begin speaking to them whether you have ever met them or not when you run across someone chronic with cancer "give them the kind of a salutation that will make them think that life is not such a frigid deal after all. Begin the day by giving one one "Hello" and a smile. It will improve your digestion and your good looks. That's a truth.-Minnesota Daily.
WHATSOEVER YEWOULD
It may be some comfort to know that other universities are being criticized as harshly as our's, and with as little basis for unfavorable comment. Harvard has been scorchingly rebuked for her lack of sane and healthy dinner topics. The University of California is recipient the object of parallel casualism. For moral laxness. The Outlook published the unjust confessions of a misanthropic pseudo-student, and started a long and bitter pen war over the University's usefulness.
College people and college practices have been and will perhaps continue to be the subject of much criticism, depreciative and appreciative criticism it is to be neglected. The walk, the talk, the dance, the general ungodiness of the average students are pointed out in detail by newspapers over the country. The impression is conveyed to the citizens that the women of the university are a giddy, selfish, have really lot while our men are the state's black sheep. The knowees have visited our campus but they are in the minority, the great majority of taxpayers have an erroneous conception of the real college life.
Our Universities are not on the ways to the bow-wows. In fact, they are steadily climbing to a higher intellectual and moral plane. There is at Harvard a certain Phillips Brooks Hall, used exclusively as a meeting place for social service workers. Clubs are being organized to work among the submerged foreign element.

What is it the seniors swear
n that awful death-grim air?
Why that deadly look they wear?
What is it the Juniors call,
On the subject of foot ball,
As they gather 'round Green Hall'
What do all the Sophomores cry
With a look of do or die
And a tear drop in their eye?
"Learning without thought is labor lost.
"Beat Nebraska."
What was it the Freshman said,
As he scrambled into bed,
And he covered up his head?
Thought without learning is death of the mind."—Conflusus,
Even granting it is "liver" news, it seems a bit unfair to the universities. People any where there is so much smoke there must be some fire. Just there is the rub. There is a little room there and I don't know Most critical onlookers use magnifying glasses. And so, the many are blamed for the faults of a few.

Editor of the Daily Kansan:
"Beat Nebraska."
It has been applied that "the truth always hurts." The latest in stance of the truth of the proved comes with the outburst of righteous (?) wrath and indication caused by the assertion, made by T. Davenport Smith, that spirit was dead at the University. To anyone who will stand to one side and look things over with impartiality, many things will appear to support "Cussin' Tom"$^2$ statement. Last Thursday night the four hundred or so men who went down to see the team off for Oka hauna learned of Mr. Smith's words and called him a tar, hurried division and abuse at his name and declared in stentorian terms that the good spirit was $^{3}$ it was the same men who cheered the team on its way and, in the exuberance of their spirit, declared their intention of meeting the team when it returned of Sunday morning. Several hours intervened between Thursday night and Sunday morning, however, and in that interval the abundance of spirit seems to have been lost in some way, for when the train pulled into the Santa Fe depart Sunday morning it was a pitiful remnant of the once enthusiastic four hundred which met the team. The number had dwindled until bare*$^4$ a hundred turned out. It still疼 very much alive at the University or was it the sting of the bitter truth which caused the indignant how to go it when T. Davenport taught it. Truth
CAMPUS OPINION
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
Nothing is quite so conducive to study as a night rally, especially the kind of rallies that last until the small hours of the morning. As you walk down the street it is no uncommon sight to see a man with a Greek grammar in one hand, and a cow bell in the other, eagerly repeating Greek verbs while he rings his bell with great zeet. The curbing is fairly lines with other men who are writing themes, stopping only long onough between paragraphs to utter a fierce howl.
At Princeton they have Murry Hall; at Dale, Yauel Hall. Columbia has Earl Hall; California, Stiles Hall. Here on our own campus is Myers Hall. All of these are being used for true religious and social service work. It is estimated that over 70,000 collegians are now newspapers the country now, and yet newspapers the country now, pay up the irreligious and dipout side of college life.
Are you doing your part to keep
aive the school spirit by exercising
your lungs in the middle of the night?
For Earlier Ballots
And then for the women students plugging away at history or German in their study rooms a rally is a great source of inspiration. Nothing could provide them greater interest in their work than to hear the football songs and yells just when they have given up hope of getting some particularly hard lesson, and the thought of all those men pounding away at difficult and elusive Greek verbs and still keeping up the proper spirit of the school is enough to make them sit up all night to work.
