The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life so co-arries more than merely printing the news by standing up for it; they play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to help; to leave more serious problems to wiser bends, in all, to ensure students get to the students of the University.

Anger is momentary madness, so control your passion, or it will control you.—Horace.
LITERARY ACQUAINTANCES
LITERARY ACCOMPLISH
Dr. Crothers' address showed us one thing: we do not know literature. How many of us appreciated his allusions to Thackeryan, and Dante, and Maeterlink and Shaw? To be sure, we recognized the names as belonging to the first rank. We have a certain speaking acquaintance with them which we have dropped into from reading about them in newspapers and magazines. But how many of us have settled down in a large chair before the fire for a little chat with them?
This doesn't mean that we ought to like every classic book, though it is a dull tasty that is not whetted by a chapter from old "Don Quixote" or Chaucer's droll remarks about his Parson. There is no five-foot shelf of books which every one ought to enjoy. But out of the list of great writers, we ought to know a few intimately, and many in a neighborly sort of way.
With a special chapel once a month at the old 10:30 hour, students may be expected to have at least a speaking acquaintance with others than their roommates by the first of June.
LET'S KEEP GOOD-FEELING in place of the usual angry outburst that follows the annual pep rally and parade, on the part of the Lawrence merchants, a statement comes from Mayor Francisco, commending the students and their rally. In former times the men down town have felt that their property and rights were very much jeopardised by the student body. Mayor Francisco expressed the good will of the merchants of Lawrence and their appreciation of the manner in which the rally came off this year. This friendly attitude on the part of the town should be preserved by the students. In times past the people downtown have had some right to feel that the students were no friends of theirs, and their friendly attitude this year is too precious a thing for the students to regard slightly.
Michigan is putting up a million dollar student union. Kansas is said to be one of the richest states in the union and Kansas could not pay fifty dollars a month rent on the same proposition.
THROW HER INTO LOW
The wise driver throws into inter-
mediate and sometimes into low on a
new and steep hill. He realizes that
excessive speed over strange and
rough paths is folly, not prowess.
Mr. Freshman, can you see the
moral? You are new on the Hill—
even you will not gainay that. Nei-
ther will you deny that connected
with the Hill is considerable steepness in more ways than one.
Your studies are new to you. Methods employed in the classrooms are entirely different from those to which you have been accustomed in high school. And the college curriculum is not a snap. You are up against a stiff proposition.
Remember the wise driver. Remember further that it is the low and intermediate speeds which furnish the most effective power. Guide yourself accordingly.
Now that we have a brand new infirmary all ready for use we are urged to be vaccinated against typhoid.
HIGH SCHOOL PINS
One thing which more than anything else probably sets a freshman out when he is in company of upper-classmen is the constant bedding of his clothes with high school class pins. They were all right in their time but are unnecessary in the University.
All things whoseover ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them; for this is the law and the prophets;—Matthew 7:12.
AT RANDOM
Space in this column cannot be sold or given away.
The question for a recent debate was, "Resolved: That Secretary Bryan was right in resigning from the cabinet." Rather soft for the affirmative.
The seniors are trying to collect money for a class memorial. Hope springs eternal in the human breast.
P. Nutz says that the so-called fraudulent voting at the recent election was merely the expression of commendable pep.
safety first, wear rubber heels,
you won't know how it feels
When down Adams street you tread,
you go skating on your head.
The dean of a neighboring university comes out with the statement that the women of the university are over working. If such is the case some of the men of the school are probably being "over worked."
The cheerleader announced that the women of the school were cordially invited to the rally Friday night but failed to ask them to turn out the next evening and take part in the regular celebration.
"lifters and Leaders" was the very appropriate topic for a recent chapel talk. The majority of the students need someone to lift them out of bed and lead them up the Hill.
Grapes seem to be a favorite fruit right now.
The world's series begins Friday and no doubt some reckless student will go and bet ten or fifteen cents.
You may go now.
You may go now. L. P.R.
Universities are not essential to life nor to animal prosperity. They are not creatures, they are creators, of need. We do indeed nowadays hear much of the services they render, and it is right that we should, for they minister constantly and where to count on need. But unless they supply are in the main needs that they have first produced—multiplied desires and aspirations, new propensions of mind awakened to new life, lifted by education to higher levels and amplex possibilities of being—Cassius J. Keyser.
Abuse—What a student thinks he is getting when the professor assigns a lesson requiring more than three minutes' study.
Aee—Poker term, meaning something we wish for when we get a king, queen, jack and ten. The card that "makes misery more moody for many
Accident—What certain professors say when certain students stumble onto a correct answer to a question.

days until
...Adieu- Saying of a student as he sees a bill collector draw near his domicile.
**Adder—A freshman counting the days until Thanksgiving.**
Appetite—A failing of the human race. How much cheaper it would be to live without this thing.
Ache—What a student, wakes up with on the morning after.

The Antiseptic Baby and the Prophylactic Pup
Were plastered in the garden when the children gambod up; they looked upon the Creature with a smile. It wasn't Disinfected and it wasn't Sterilized.
They were the Microbe and a Hot-tub of Disease.
They were the vapor of a thousand-and-odd degrees;
They frotted that was Banned Hope and washed it in permanganate with chlorine.
In sulfurified hydrogen they stepped their frisky whiskers with a pair of hard-backed mittens and they took it by the hand.
And they numbered the Fumigated Band.
There's not a Micrococcus in the Garden.
They bake in pure iodopore a dozen times a day.
And they bring his ratios from a Hygienic Cup.

"I, myself, am a third-year student in a western university, which is one of the best colleges in the country."
STUDENTS SELF-GOVERNED
"One does not have to go to college long to learn that the real student is a doubtful quantity, a dinicure in the far background of college life, who gets little respect from his professors and none whatever from his so-called fellow students. The intricate maze of "student activities" absorbs the major part of the time of ninety per cent of the students. I, myself, am working overtime doping out the "easiest way" so that I may maintain my present "ultra-active" part in dramatics; and I am only one of thousands in the same sideshow of inefficiency rubbed to a fine polish."—Washington Alumnus.
Popular government in the form of the initiative, referendum and recall has found a home at the University of Washington. The adoption of a provision placing matters of student discipline in the hands of teachers to completion the several years' task of establishing undergraduate rule.
The students elect yearly a president, vice-president and a board of control which, like the national Congress, is the legislative body.
These legislators and all other elected officers are subject to a recall election upon the petition of 25 per cent of their fellows and may be recalled by a majority vote. The referendum can be invoked by a 10 per cent petition and measures infilated by 15 per cent. A majority vote is required for action. The difficulty of initiative is the tendency of the students to vote in favor of any initiated measure; however, it may be that extremely good judgment is used in regard to what is brought before the body.
The censorship of the official student daily, originally a function of the student board, has been transferred to the president of the university. Thus the origin of multicultural spinning has been the power of any faction in control.
Judicial authority is in the hands of the student discipline committee. Financial matters are placed in the hands of a saharied student manager and a tax of $5 a student is levied at the beginning of the semester for administrative funds. The book store and other student enterprises are co-operative.
"Between the social life, of which the fraternities and the dramatic organizations are the center, the political life (we have student government), and the athletic life, in at least one of which a student must take an active part to maintain the respect of his classmates, there is little time for them, as a matter to get there need be little, for to get an A. B is merely a question of artful dodging—of the difficult courses.
Student government at the University of Washington has been eminently successful, and there have been no abuses arising from this experiment of self control. It has facilitated many improvements in student affairs. The board has now undertaken to abolish cheating in examinations by establishing the "honor system." Responsibility sobers these undergraduate citizens, and they are receiving the best possible training for the life of the republic—The Independent.
"INCAPACITY FOR WORK?" College gives a man "incapacity for work," says a recent writer in the Outlook. The anonymous writer testifies that he lost the habit of industry "partly because his instructors were not inspiring, partly because college life offers a host of pleasant distractions, partly because the marking system has no relation to real achievement; partly because the social worlds of the college are domestic and they are such as to make industry and even interest in serious matters out of fashion."
A Pacific Coast undergraduate, in agreement with "The Confessions," wrote The Outlook the following:
