Phone. Bell K. U. 25.
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students than merely printing, nownes my standing, myself, to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful to be charitable; to solve more serious problems to wiser heads in all, the students of the University, the students of the University.
MONDAY, OCT. 4, 1915
Some books are to be tasted,
others to be swallowed, and some
few to be chewed and digested.—
Bacon.
SOME PARADE
Joe Gatskill and every student who took part in the nightshift parade is to be congratulated. The merchants were more generous than they have ever been before. Never in recent years have so many men showed such Pead. And the best thing about the whole parade was the restraint which the celebrators showed. Fewer "moochers" abused the hospitality of the merchants than in former years. Students who were in the parade made no enemies for the University Saturday night.
GOOD HOUSEKEEPING
The character of the individual is usually reflected in his dress; the tidiness of the housekeeper shows in her house. In the same way the general impression a visitor gets from the University camps gives him some idea of the students attending the institution.
One extra piece of paper makes no special difference in the whole University, but should each of the twenty-five hundred students on the Hill feel the same way, think what a sight the campus would soon be.
We like to dress well for it gives us a feeling of self-satisfaction. The housekeeper wants to keep her house clean for she may have company any time. For the same reason we should keep the campus from having an untidy appearance.
TWO HOURS' PREPARATION.
"Gee! It's two hours till class
only 9:30.
"I'll just have time for that two hours that I'm supposed to put on that Lit," Mary said, as she turned into Spooner.
"Wonder what's going on at home?" she thought. "Believe I just stop and look at the paper and see how the folks are doing."
So she just stopped in, and discovered with surprise a little later that it was almost ten o'clock.
She hurried into the reading room, where she carefully arranged herself and her things at the table, for she was a girl who had to have everything just right before she could study. A magazine in front of her flashed out the title of that continued story she was reading. It would take more than superhuman self-control to resist that, so Mary read it.
"Here's another good story." Mary sighed, when she she had finished the continued one. "Guess I'll just read it now I am here. Anyway I ought to study the modern stories, it would help me in my short story course."
For a short fifteen minutes, Mary enjoyed herself, then she again setled herself down to study, only to remember that she didn't have what
he wanted there. She packed up her
selongings with an air of relief, she
was so tired sitting down so long.
She found what she wanted in the seminar room, and for ten minutes she sat down with the book before her. Finally her head began to ache.
"That's what I get for being studious," she sighed. "I never will take another course that you have to put two hours on. There goes the whistle now. It's a good thing. I'm just worn out. Two hours studying all at one time—it's too much for me."
THRU THE PERISCOPE C. S.
England seems unable to find the key in Turkey.
Dr. Lamp's sermons at the Presbyterian church are undoubtedly en lightening.
The favorite lines of many candidates after 6 o'clock Friday; "And it isn't the shame, and it isn't the blame, that burns like a white hot brand."
The trouble last year was that we got that con in convocation.
Hi Speed, who knows a thing or two about the habits of women, admits his ignorance of what they carry in those skirt pockets.
Shot At Sunrise
The early bird doth the do stunt,
Men preach that 'till I squirm.
But if I had to get up early,
I'd rather be the worm.
A western Kansas farmer has appealed a fossil suit, but most students sell them for six bits to the old clothes man.
"Manhattan students will hear rage ring in chapel." Ah, Maribelle, 'tis a gay, wild life those Aggie students lead.
As a class the "pill rollers" are probably the most thoroughly domesticated set on the Hill, for a Cook is now head of the Pharmaceutical Society.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Jack Spratt
In a recent issue I noticed an article stating that being a Big Sister was no cinnach. I agree with that but I object to having it rubbed in with "try it and see."
Hi Speed, who is usually considered truthful. declares that his roommate can snore "The Rosary" perfectly.
FEWER DANCES, MORE WORK No fraternity house, either men's or women's, may this year hold more than two dances on its premises or elsewhere under its direction, says a new regulation passed by the faculty of the State University at Fauene. Holidays are excepted.
The fraternity that breaks this rule is to lose its next two dances. If it breaks the rule a second time, it is to lose the next three dances. A third vionation renders participants subject to suspension.
Responsibility for enforcement is put upon the dean of men and the dean of women, who are Dr. John Straub and Miss Rush Guppy, respectively The faculty passed the rule unanimously.
Another faculty rule, new this year, prohibits student contests or exhibitions on Mondays. Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Fridays fall between four and six o'clock p. m.
The new regulations are intended to promote study by decreasing distractions. Student life was beginning to get cut up by so many social and athletic activities at night that scholarly pursuits were in danger. Simultaneously with laying a stern hand upon academic the faculty adopted a system under which the students may go in for scholastic honors; and professors were asked by the administration to advance standards once more.
Dancing upon University property has also been cut to a minimum; four a year, one for each of the judges, shall be the limit, says the ruling.
Teachers' Pension in Illinois Illinois has incorporated in law, among other less agitated matters, a provision for a state teachers' pension and retirement fund, to be managed by a board of trustees. We believe a demonstration expressing approval would be pardonable. If any profession is underpaid, it is quite generally conceded that teaching is and a life long service to the state at a wage that practically prohibits an adequate provision for age, obviously should be rewarded by the state's assuming the burden of such provision.

How many student at K. U. know the story of "Old Sacramento?" It is not the nickname of some grizzled veteran of former times but of an old cannon, battered and broken, which lies in a dark obscure sorner, under the winding stairs of the Dyche Museum on Mt. Oread.
The reports of the United States commissioner of education shows that the University of Washington and University of Texas lead all other colleges and universities in large classes.
Behold it aforetime
No eye ever did;
So soon it for ever
From all eyes is hid
Large cases lead inevitably to inefficiency of instruction.
Know "Old Sacramento?"
Washington has a registration of 4,000 students. The faculty numbers one hundred and ninety-five. The relation of the regular enrollment of students to the number of instructors is 16 to 1. This ratio indicates that the individual student cannot be given much attention. The personal touch between instructor and student is lost.
Among the universities, Cornell and Wisconsin are low, with a ratio of seven to one, while Yale, Princeton and the University of Pennsylvania are together on a ratio of eight to one. Harvard, Columbia and Illinois each works on a nine to one basis.
While one looks at the gaping hole in its side as its rests precariously between an old-fashioned pair of wheels, there is a feeling akin to pity for the old relic that played such an important part in the early history of Lawrence.
This old cannon has had a checkered career. For ten long years it has lain in the place it now occupies, and a visitor would scarely notice it in looking over the other articles of interest.
After the close of the war it seemed to have been forgotten for a while, for it remained in some old shelter down town until it was donated by the city of Lawrence to the Museum about ten years ago.
Here hath been dawning
Another blue Day.
Think, will thou let it
Slip useless away?
Thomas Carlyle
Originally it was an old Mexican gun, captured by the United States army in the war of 1846. It was held by the state of Missouri and later on used with telling effect by the pre-slavery men against the Abolitionist forces that occupied this part of the country at the beginning of the Civil War. It took part in the bombardment of the famous old Free State Hotel here and helped to batter down its walls under the direction of the men who insisted that Kansas become one of the seceded states. It was finally captured by United States troops and taken to Lecompton where it was held for some time. Finally it was stolen by the rebels and buried in Lawrence where it remained until January 29, 1861, to celebrate the advent of Kansas into the Union, as a free state.
