TO THE SENIORS
To the seniors who take their degrees next week, the Daily Kansan extends its heartiest best wishes. The constantly rising standards of scholarship at Kansas make a degree harder to get each year—but this makes it worth more. To take a degree in the class of '15 is a greater honor than to have taken it with any other class.
Again, the Daily Kansan wishes the class of 15 well.
THIS YEAR
For some time the Daily Kansan has carried this creed in its editorial columns;
The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university of Kansas, in printing, the news by standing for the ideals favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be gourmet; to be auscultous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to identify students of the University.
In living up to it the Daily Kansan
has supported these things:
Hash House League
Grouping of elections
The Jayhawker
College Day
Payment of Student Union debt
Discussion of peace problem
Point system
Better drinking water
Faculty mixers
Caps and gowns for faculty at com-
mencement.
Student loan fund
May Fete
Amateur dramatics
Class memorials
Cleaner class politics
A clean-up of the Sour Owl
Mill tax amendment
More beautiful campus
Active student government
Walking clubs
Music
Art exhibits
Point system
Clean rooting
University social affairs
In every matter, the Daily Kansan has always tried to serve the best interests of the student body. Sometimes the interests of a special group were opposed, but always for the benefit of the greater number. In a school the size of Kansas, student sentiment can be expressed best through a newspaper. The Daily Kansan, being managed and edited solely by students, has been able to keep the student point of view and be alert for their interests.
NEXT YEAR
NEXT YEAR
Beginning next fall, the faculty of the department of journalism plans to take over the management of the Daily Kansan. The department feels that it has no way at present to work out various ideas relating to newspaper methods and wishes to use the
Daily Kansan for that purpose. Numerous changes are planned. The price will be raised from $2.50 to $3 a year. Prof. Merle Thorps is planning to issue magazine supplements at frequent intervals. He will appoint new editors each month and will have direct charge of the management of the paper. Five seniors will compose the advisory board of the Daily Kansan and these five, it is expected will pass ultimately on matters of policy.
THE MEN
Student affairs as far as the men are concerned have been lifeless this year. School spirit was during the football season was dead. Several complicated cases of student discipline brought out the weakness of that method of control at this University, and lost the Student Council much prestige. Then the general apathy toward the Student Union allowed it to close its doors. The Union was obtained after years of effort and then allowed to lie in less than a year because of lack of support. The problem of the cheerleader has caused considerable trouble. A short time ago the captain of the track team was forced to get out and rouse the rooters himself—and by doing it Kansas won a race.
The spirit is here, but it needs rousing. Next year, perhaps more student leaders will appear and organize undergraduate affairs more closely.
THE WOMEN
This year has been an unusually active one for the women of the University. Last fall they held their first football rally and elected their own cheerleader, setting a precedent for feminine spirit at a time when the men of the school were in a state of apathy.
The women's prom was a most successful affair as were dozens of hikes which different women's organizations took. The freshmen women organized more closely than they ever had before.
Then the May Fete was the best one ever given at the University, and the artistic plane which was reached this year is rarely attained under similar conditions.
Dr. Alice Goetz, director of physical education for women, has done much to further women's activities this year. Her personality and ability as an organizer have showed themselves conspicuously in her first year at the University. The women are fortunate in having Dr. Goetz to assist them.
...
FINALLY
The editor of the Daily Kansan takes this opportunity of expressing his appreciation of the work of the staff and of the support that the student body has given the paper. The backing of the students as much as the efforts of the Daily Kansan has made the paper a success.
Pandora's Box
Well, there has been enough of criticism, roasting, and satire around the campus this year. It has been flying around so fast that the air is fairly black with it, and we think it is about time for the lid to come up. We'll be over soon, and we'll be going home. We'll forget the woes and tribulations and injustices of this place up here, and the many grievances we have, and the
A long time ago there was a maiden named Pandora, who was possessed with a vast amount of curiosity. And this insatiable quality at one time got the better of her to such an extent that she opened a beautiful box to see the contents therein. Woe unto her! The inside, as is nearly always the case, did not justify the beauty of the outside, and Pandora got what was coming to her. A swarm of little evil things flew all around her—millions and millions of them. And he was, too, his mother, her father. They flew out into the world—all these wicked things, where they have been ever since, and no power of man or woman can ever remove them. But Pandora shut the lid down tight as soon as she saw the mischief she had committed, and a few of them didn't get out. A mighty good thing it was, too, that she had presence of mind enough to do this. Some girls wouldn't, you know!
PANDORA'S LAST WORD
many times folks have made us angry and wounded our feelings and stepped on our toes. We'll forget, even, that a mellodesme maiden came around and let out a lot of trouble into the world up on the "Hill", where she closed the lid too soon to let some of the worst misuses loose.
FOR THE EDITOR'S PROFES.
FOR THE EDITOR'S PROFESS.
Getting out of the college paper for a year is not an easy job. Three times each week the editors must drop books and college fun and work a day in gathering in the power of a big college newspaper in writing and putting it through the routine of making a newspaper. Few folks know or realize the hard work collected with the job.
But getting out the college paper is not alone hard work. Each day's grist of news brings with it interesting problems; each day the editors discover new facts about the college community, and deliver a little deeper into the human realm of texts in newspaper merely reflect the doings of folks, little folks and big folks, upon the college campus.
Few college students are able to carry high grade work in their classes and get out a faultless paper at one and the same time. In fact the doing of two big jobs brings some recompense in the knowledge gained in mixing with all sorts and conditions of men, of a little better understanding of the inside forces at work in the making of a big college, and a little better understanding of student life—Iowa State Student.
EARNING THEIR WAY
Three-fourths of the men students of the College of Emporia are earning all or a part of their school expenses. A survey shows that the college students as a class are fairly independent of home support, and are making a part of their living while attending school.
Six men in the senior class have outside work, and five of them make all, or nearly all of their expenses. Ten of the 15 men in the junior class are doing outside work. Half of the men in the sophomore class and half of the freshman class are partially dependent upon themselves.
The average amount made by every student in the school, including those who do not work, is from $12 to $15 per month. In all, college men make about $5,000 per year while attending school.
Eleven college students earn their board by waiting table at clubs. A year's board amounts to about $135. Four men do a part of the junior work at the college, and usually there are several extra helps doing odd jobs around the college campus. These jobs pay 20 cents per hour. Three students are employed in the college offices, but they are not on full time. These persons send out reports and advertising matter, and two students help with the college's stenographic work.
Two students edit and manage College Life. This job pays tuition and whatever the students can make who were older and part of whose business it was to know how to govern as well as to instruct. But the relaxation of the rules was not all that was necessary to bring about peace between students and college primes. It is ends of colleges long to learn that the man behind the discipline was of more importance than the mode of that discipline.
The difficulty of establishing a proper relationship between professors and students is reflected in the difficulty of finding a suitable name for college students. "Scholars" underwent a change of usage that restricted it to a small minority; "boys" was too youthful a term; "men," which is still in use, is felt to be a bit pretentious; "students" is too general. And so we have gradually settled upon a colorless word, "undergraduate," which has the meaning of rivalling Scaliger or Erasmus, is sufficiently distinctive. Similarly, "tutor" has gone out, although the new term "presciner" at Bowdin and Princeton recalls it; "doctor" has become common; but nothing can supply the uninviting title, "professor." Nor is it necessary to supplant it. Whether there be any relation of cause and effect or not, the disappearance of "scholars" and the arrival of "undergraduates" has been accompanied by a new and better form and spirit, not merely of disciplinary arrangements, but of personal association of teacher and taught. After all, when professors who have had to do directly with outside of their own classrooms are small in comparison with that of those who have met undergraduates in less trying circumstances. In

Little Glimpses of College Life
Students Make Good Nurses
- Students Make Good Nurses
When mothers in Boston wish to keep a society engagement, they are one of the students in the Capitol University rock the cradle and sing their babies to sleep that night. It has been found that a six foot, brawny engineer is much more soothing to the baby and has much more control over it than any French governess ever had. Several students are partially paying for their courses in this way.
Forbidden to Run Liquor Ads
On the recommendation of the Undergraduate Committee - on Student Affairs at the University of California, the President of the University has forbidden the campus publications to run Liquor advertisements of amateur artists. The publication is required to make a written statement each year that no ads of this kind have been run.
Harvard Classes Are Rich
Harvard Classes Are Rich
Classes at Harvard all manage to keep their treasures fairly full. The sophomore report shows a surplus of $1,428.17. The junior class has had equally grosser; they have been able to invest the surplus in a bond. Evidently class dinners are conducted there without incurring expenses from damages.
Harvard Coach Resigns
Dr. Frank J. Sexton, coach of the Harvard baseball team for several years has tendered his resignation, to become effective immediately.
Dr. Sexton, it is understood, was not in sympathy with the views of the baseball committee regarding assistant coaches, believing that as head coach he was responsible for Harvard's success upon the diamond and that only those invited by him to play may be permitted to assist in the coaching.
In a statement regarding Dr. Sexton's attitude the committee announced that it had no alternative but to accept his resignation. He will be joined by a team coach of the Crimson football team and a former baseball captain.
In order that Colgate College can hold a centennial celebration in 1919, the University authorities have asked that the annual freshman circus be abandoned until that time. If each incoming class during the next four years would contribute the money usually spent on their circus towards a fund for this celebration, its success would be assured.
Will Seek Knowledge at Fair
Will Seek Knowledge at Fair For educational and economical reasons, students and faculty members of Columbia University have received a nationally conducted tour to the Exposition. The business manager of the Columbia Spectator will have full charge of the trip and every convenience and comfort will be provided to make conditions as nearly comfortable as Many of the faculty members will be accompanied by their families.
