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 Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life at Kansas; it goes no further than mere印刷; by standing for her university, she play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to ensure that university students of the University. WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1915 The doorstep to the temple of wisdom is a knowledge of our own ignorance—Spurgeon. MEMORIALS AND PHOTOGRAPHS Last night the first page of the Daily Kansan printed two pictures of Dyche Museum. One showed it as it is, a beautiful building with its arches and gargoyles. Just below this picture made from a landscape architect's drawing was another showing it as it might be. The beauty of the building was still there. The arches and gargoyles showed just as distinctly. Yet it was an altogether different scene. This time the building did not look like a putty model set down on a board. It looked like a part of the landscape, a permanent feature of Mount Oread, not a pretty box placed for a few minutes. that was done by placing three trees and several shrubs around the building. Just a little work and the building is changed from a bare structure into a work of art; from an eyesore into a beautiful landscape. Instead of seeming to be set down on the campus for a brief inspection, it now appears really to belong to it. To be knitted to the soil of Mount Oread. On the same page with these pictures there happened to be an appeal from C. A. Randolph for money for a senior memorial. The class already has twenty dollars raised in its sophomore year. This would be sufficient to plant shrubs and trees and vines around the Museum Building. Nothing could be done to improve the campus more 'than that. Or if not the Museum, then another building—they all need it. In its campaign for a memorial, which is a most worthy object, the senior class can simplify its work by remembering two facts: First, that a cheap memorial which only butchers the campus more is worse than none. Second, that the most beautiful, permanent, and inexpensive gift to the University would be several trees and a few shrubs, planted in the right places. GRAPE FRUIT The parties elected to office last Friday now find that they have more friends than ever before. In fact it seems that their election must have been nearly unanimous. EVERYBODY OUT! Alumni of any college or university will tell you, that the memories of their college days that stand out most vividly are those of long walks out into the woods or fields, or trips up the river. How many students of K. U. are enjoying these? October is here, the month that poets raved over, with its blue skies, its calling winds and its crisp, snappy air, but outside of preparing for Halloween few students pay any attention to it. It is the time of year to get out your comfortable walking shoes, take a basket or sack and make excursions out into the woods for nuts. It is the time of year to remember that you are not in college forever, that you are only young once, and that lessons are not the only things worth spending hours of time upon. It is the time of year to rustle your feet in the dry leaves, to breathe the bracing air deep into your lungs, and to get a little appreciation of a good world into your soul. THRU THE PERISCOPE C S There were several kinds of Jewells on McCook Field last Saturday, but the one with the green cap surely came from the Emerald Isle. Whatever may be your opinion of the Chalmers auto, if you have seen the Chancellor riding by, you will agree that it is a Strong car. Once a brother and a sister never saw or heard of each other during 88 long years, and as they never met after that, the newspapers were robbed of a front page story. When Dante had descended through the smallest circle of Hades, he took a course under a prof who used his own textbook, and then discovered what hell really was. The easiest and cheapest way to the front page headlines is to be arrested as a spy. "Whenever I try to pronounce these war names," complained Hi Speed, "my girl looks at me knowingly and says, 'That's the way I feel about it, too.'" Elections are of three degrees: those that have a runner-up; those that have an also-ran, and then those like the senior ejection. A Missouriian bought a gold mine for $2.50. Evidently the English war buyers did not purchase all of the famous Missouri brand. "I see," grimly observed Hi Speed, "that I was quoted as saying, 'If I were a tree, I shake a limb.' That is wrong. I really said, "qwerzhk-ljsf'd" but the compostier pied it." Chevrolet Baby Grand. Now who would have thought that anybody could talk Coach William O. Hamilton to a car with baby for Hat middle name. The Midnight Story When Hawk-eye the Ferret who snarled behind the copy desk, ordered the Green Club to interview the Scientific Lion, a shiver of excessive heat ran up the Cubs's spine and around his necktie. He never knew the Lion but the name Scientific gave him the willys. Now since you have never met the Cub, you may think that he is a Teddy Bear cub or a Chicago Nationals cub, but he is really a Daily Kansan cub. And being the youngest of that brood of pests, he is called the Green Cub on account of his hair which is a very dark black. Now the Green Cub was nervy so he gained a grin and mounted up to the chair. "Why do you so sarcastically vivise these poor dear, slop-eating first cousins to canines?" demanded the Cub. "Gr-r-r-s-s-s-p-p-i-i-t-t" howled the Lion. Once there he wiped off his Styleplus and did the grizzly bear down the High Hill. Of course he should have reported to Hawkey, but he was afraid Hawkeye might send him to see Woof-the woogit the bore, who had come to the High Hill from the moss covered rocks of Harvard, The Green Cub called sleepily for a bath brush and towel and beat it for the unadulterated ozone.

THINKS SYSTEM WRONG Editor Daily Kansan: An article in last night's Kansan it regard to irregularities in the recent election reflects discredit* upon the men who手把手led the election for the Men's Student Council. The Daily Kansan is correct in saying that the "election lists were inaccurately compiled" but they were as accurate as could be made from the list of hand in the Registrar's office. It was impolite that the lists of voters the Registrar's books, as to correctness of class of each student as this would have been too large a job for any committee to tackle. "There's a church near," said the country farmer to his paying guest; "not that I ever put my mose in it." "Anything the matter with it." In order to understand how it was possible for some of these irregularities to occur a word of explanation may help. When a student registered at the beginning of the semester, he noted on his card whether he was freshman, sophomore, junior or senior. The Registrar had a list taken from these cards preparatory to the making of the Student Directory. The election lists were then taken from the Registrar's list. The reason that some students were able to vote in two different classes lies in the facts that the students failed toister their classes properly. For instance, Claude Fletcher, who was not permitted to serve vice-president of the senior class for lack of sufficient hours to fulfill the senior requirements, was listed on the senior rolls. It would have been easy for him to have voted both senior and junior tickets. His name was on the senior list and a card from the Registrar's office showing his standing as a junior would have been sufficient evidence to permit him to vote that ticket. No doubt this is the way a great many of the irregularities occurred, although the greater number of illegal practices occurred in the Law School where the system is not adequate to handle the elections correctly. In the last analysis the trouble is with the system and until it is changed in regard to eligibility, these illegal practices will continue.

I sold the old vicar milk and eggs and butter and cheese, and seeing as he patronized me I patronized 'im. But this new chap keeps 'is own cow and 'ensa 'If that's your game,' I thought, 'we'll' have 'ome-grown religion too.'" -Tit-Bits. The first duty of the manufacturer is to produce a good article by honest methods. That responsibility rests with peculiar force upon the newspaper maker, because the quality of his product, or his service, may be of vast consequence to the public welfare. If he distorts or misrepresents the news, or if he fails to present the full worth in a given case, the evil effects upon society may be beyond calculation. The journalist awaits himself through his newspaper the exponent of the public interests, the champion and defender of popular right. How vital then to his own integrity, to his influence upon the public mind is it that his newspaper itself shall be as excellent and honest as he can make it, shall have a character of its own that man will respect.-Samuel Bowles, Late Publisher of the Springfield Republican.
