Published in the afternoon, five
months after the death of a
wetness of Kansas from the brea-
se of a severe drought.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the material; to take on the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to make the students of the University.

EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY
Give six hours to sleep, as many to the study of just laws. Pray four hours and give two to refreshments All that remains bestow upon the sacred Muses.-Coke.
EVERYBODY'S RESPONSIBILITY The Men's Student Council is now facing another difficulty; it is short of funds. The treasurer's report shows the Council to be in debt and with practically no income.
That it needs money is apparent. No organization of its nature can successfully promote mixers and other social entertainments without some capital. The reason for the Council's financial straits is simple: no one has given it any money.
The Student Council is supposed to receive its support from at least six sources: college dances, election fees, cap and gown committee, senior invitation committee, senior play and the Jayhawker. It is significant that fast year the senior play was the only real source of income. It paid; the other organizations turned their funds to other enterprises or reported go profit.
Can you suggest a way to help the Council?
It is up to the Student Council to have money for this one reason, if for no other: the Council contracted fast year to pay the heavy debt of the Student Union. So far it has paid the most of the debt, but it must pay it all. It is of vital importance to every student to see that the debt is paid, for it means the substantiation of student credit and the clearing of the way for all future enterprises involving heavy financial responsibility, or if the debt is not paid, it means the ruining of collective student credit and the prohibition of progress for many years.
Floor old President Monroe! If he only knew how much his Doctrine has been argued pro and con he would rise from his grave and say "he didn't do it." Again this year they will "fuss it out" in the High School Debating League and see whether or not Mr. Monroe was right.
WHAT THE DOLLAR MEANS
The state spent $187.66 last year for each student in the University. If the student remains four years, this state spends approximately $740. And we? Some of us give a dollar for a Senior Memorial fund; some of us don't.
Our entrance fees range from $10 to $25. Michigan's fees range from $52 to $117; Harvard's is $150; Drake, our low chair neighbor, has a fee of $55 the semester. In the face of this comparison, some of us begrudge a $1 memorial contribution.
At the State University of California last year the members of the senior class pledged themselves to give for the university $3.50 a year for twenty years. At the end of that time the class feels it will have a fitting gift for its Alma Mater. And the undergraduate classes have voted to do likewise.
One of the first contributions to be received came from a man who was working his way through college. It was later learned that he actually went without food at times because he did not have the money to pay for it. Such is that intangible something called love for Alma Mater.
After all, it is not the monetary value of the gift that counts, but the spirit of union it crates between the members of the class and between the class and the university. In our prosaic work-a-day world few of us could, or would, express our loyalty in words. We need a concrete object to express that loyalty. This expression of an ideal is the true value of a senior memorial.
How many alumni pause on our campus to remark proudly, "That is OUR class memorial. I missed 'The Bird of Paradise' to help put that up, but it was worth it." Perhaps if the alumni had something definite to connect them with the University, there would be less comment that the alumni care little for the school.
The senior class will be alumn next year. Do you suppose the undergraduates then will say that here are others who do not care?
THE LITTLE THINGS
It's the little things that count. A boarder came late to lunch; all the food was segregated at the other end of the table. Her companion on the right looked up. And then it happened.
He did not say, "Yu don't want anything tu eat, do you?" Nor did he grumble, "Rotten lunch." But, he did pass her the edibles. It's the little things that count.
WHERE LIFE IS WILD
"Freshmen must not wear a moustache, sideburns, feely growing downs, or other facial adornments." This is one of the rules laid down to the first year men attending the University of Cincinnati. It is only one of thirteen. The second on the list says that "All Freshmen must ankle the front shoe in the foot section, without a girl." So the University of Kansas is not the only school where the first year men are disciplined.
Another rule is, "Freshmen must not smoke other than cob-pipes within the limits of the campus." And to make the freshmen think of something other than "fussing," this rule must not hold conversation with girls on the campus or in the buildings of the University."
AT RANDOM
If we listened to what other say about us, self respect would be a minus quantity.
Campaigns are being carried on by the Y. M. C. A, and the Annual to raise money so they succeed they money, and their methods to the struggling student.
Their hopes soared high when they heard it.
Their rejoicing were heard from afar.

Between halves the K. U. band played several selections after which an Aigle was heard to remark in a band. They have got a band, haven't they?"
Thirty-nine eastern college paper are going to bar liquor ads from the columns. Isn't a bar usually an aid t the sale of liquor rather than hindrance.
But lo, there was trouble before them.

The Student Council claims its income is too small. Nothing original in that; everybody's is.
When the last election is settled,
And the victors have the pie.
When the arm of fraud is silenced.
And the losers have ceased to cry,
We shall rest and aye we shall need
Lie down for a day or two,
Till the memorial fund promoters,
Shall set us to work anew.
With the usual apologies.
The commerce commission said no, We can't let you ship there as cattle. So now the gang can't go.
The modern tendency is to pass inefficiency off as hard luck.

And the losers have ceased to cry

Still, still let me, as I气ate upon you,

WORK WITHOUT PLAY
"Men, when their affairs require,
Must awhile themselves retire;
Sometimes hunt and sometimes hawk,
And not ever sit and talk."
This poem was for the court of good Queen Bess, but to us it is an object lesson for the students who work, or who are minus the human touch.
Misantrophes will never get into Who's. Who unless they are geniuses. The day of King Midas is past. The golden touch has been superseded by the winning smile, the gripping handshake and the all-around man.
Studies are the center of the system, but we unto you if you confine yourself to that little world alone. There are many wonderful planets about you. Take a voyage of discovery to them.
Attend the school dances, join some campus clubs, see the good shows, make friends wherever you can. Throw off the shackles and inject yourself in the wonderful spirit of college life.
But a liberal quantity of dust on your books is not a sign of the modern spirit. It is circumstantial evidence that you, too, are on the wrong track, along with Brother Grind. Mix both well before taking and you have learned the great secret of college life.—The Ohio State Lantern.
To give to starving Belgian refugees —Tiger.

READING THE DICTIONARY
The dictionary still holds its own among the ten best sellers in spite of the dignity of its advanced years.
What's that toothbrush for?
My class mjp, I graduated from Colgate.
Eben—What's your son this year what went to college?
An author who was noted for his wonderful command of language said that he never allowed a day to go by without adding another word to his stock in trade. College students have a wonderful opportunity to add freshness and virility to their vocabulary by imitating this writer. If an unknown word interrupts your reading don't fail to get an introduction. Mr. Dictionary will gladly be the third party.-Ohio State Lantern.
What's that toothbrush for?
And that I had the thirty cents or more
Did you ever spend a spare half hour with your dictionary, learning the secrets of the words you use every day; whether their family trees goes back to Beowulf, Chaucer or Charlie-magne? The college student is accused of neglecting his dictionary, of failing to increase his vocabulary by hunting up the new words that confront him every day.
John—I am not quite sure, but I think he's a xycometer—Punch Bowl.
Patient—Doc, I owe you my life.
Doctor—Yes, and that isn't all—Tiger.
Sophomoric Reactions
He (in ice cream par'or)—And what kind of a coca cola do you want?
—Gargoyle.
Hank -The name on the front of an automobile saved my life today.
Frank—No? What did it say?
Hank—Dodge.—Chaparral.
Did you ever
get hot exercising indoors, then go outside and get a chill and maybe spend the next few days in bed?
Duofold Underwear
—the different two-fabric underwear—prevents just such things as that.
Cotton, next to the skin, absorbs perspiration; air-space dries it; wool, outside, keeps you warm.
No getting too hot, or too cold, or too moist—or chills with Duofold.
