The Daily Kanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, thereby more than merely printing the news by standing for the male campus leaders' favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous and to wiser heads, in all, to problems to wiser heads, in all, to the students of the University.

GOOD FOR THE COUNCIL The Student Council has appointed a committee of its members to work out a definite plan for beautifying the University campus with trees and shrubs. If the Student Council can begin the work of making the campus landscape beautiful, it will deserve the deepest appreciation from students and alumni. If it does nothing more than develop an intense desire to see the campus beautiful and make a move toward satisfying that desire, it will justify its existence. The Student Council has been relieved of its disciplinary power by a vote of the students. Now that it is no longer hindered by the necessity of acting the policeman, it can give its attention to more basic affairs. If the new Council lives up to its present intentions, it will be one of the most powerful forces at the University. AND FURTHERMORE In the first number of the Kansas Engineer which is just off the press, a significant article by Prof. Goldwin Goldsmith appears on the same subject of campus improvement. Farsighted persons know that if Mount Oread is to keep its beauty, it must cultivate it. Nothing grows beautiful by stagnating, and the efforts of the Engineers to plan an artistic campus points toward a renaissance of school pride, in which we all can take an active part. AN OPPORTUNITY At 7 o'clock tomorrow night, the University band is to give a concert on the steps of Dyche Museum if the weather permits. By setting the time early, other engagements will not be interfered with. This will afford students an opportunity to hear a good concert stripped of the discomforts of most entertainments at this time of year. To lounge on the cool grass for an hour listening to the concert will be a rare enjoyment. As a hot-weather entertainer, the band is a top-notcher WHAT COMES NEXT? A wave of sumptuary legislation, more oppressive perhaps than that of fourteenth century England is about to engulf the University. It seems that the W. S. G. A. has given the University watchman instructions to toot the steam whistle at 10:30 o'clock every night to inform young men that it is time to leave. The insinuation is not that K. U. men can't afford watches. It would be no disgrace to the men for being poor, or to the women for wishing to save them the necessity of buying timepieces. No, the charge is more serious than that. It is said that man have on a few occasions in the past, found it undesirable to admit 10:30 o'clock had arrived, and to postpons the evil hour, they have actually turned their watches back. This charge of course is absolutely unfounded. Would any man ever stoop so low as to turn back his watch to prolong a date a few minutes longer? Not a K. U. man. Why, were he in the midst of an important question, the answer of which would change the course of his whole future, do you think he would stay one second after the fatal hour had come? No. He would catch the words on his lips and leave with all haste. How the W. S. G. A. ever got the idea that a man ever turned his watch back to prolong a date is beyond comprehension unless it be from the fact that some member of that August body has been through it herself. And even then we fail to1 see just how the news got out. But the women can not let the matter drop here, if they really mean business, Notwithstanding the sonorous blast which the University whistle may be expected to emit, what legislation forbids the use of ear stuffing to prevent the entrance of the unwelcome sound in to the consciousness of the "date?" This is no subject for hasty and half-baked legislation. The rights of both parties in every case should be most carefully guarded, officious landlady and the W. S. G. A. to the contrary notwithstanding. Jayhawk Tail Feathers In teaching basketball coaches by mail, it is to be hoped that the Universi- tate is more successful than the active co-education schools are in making detectives. In those psychology experiments where students speak a word in seven-hundredths of a second do they think twice before they speak? Prof. H, C. Allen is on the wrong track trying to find out the value of Kansas gas in terms of heat. What interests most Kansans more, is the value of gas in terms of votes. Proof from last night's paper that University students are small boys no longer. "If you don't want your ticket for the University dinner, turn it in and let some one get the benefit of it." Imagine a small boy not being able to use a dinner ticket. Ten women are still competing for that archery trophy. A good many more are depending on Dan Cupid's archery to win them a trophy. The University watchman is to blow the whistle every night so that there will be no question as to when the young men are to leave. Speaking of possibilities for graft, that watchman's job offers excellent opportunity. Five minute's grace about 10:30 o'clock at night ought to be worth quite a bit to a fellow who starts his proposal at 10:28 o'clock. "Jayhawkers Prepared for Columbia Meet"—headline. One of the psychologists advises students to work hard before finals. That statement is the most unnecessary one which could be uttered right now. Yes, those Tigers came out here two weeks ago and got us ready for it. "Pepper" writing in the Student Opinion column of the Kansan, yesterday, asks why the University authorities do not open up a student cooperative book store for the benefit of students. It is quite evident that educators understand the attitude of the faculty and student activities nor the condition which bind these "university authorities" to the city of Lawrence. STUDENTS MUST PUSH PLAN Editor Daily Kansas; In the first instance it is unfair to TIRED I am tired of work and grubbing my spring as on the lea, I am weary of spring as on the lea, And I want warm to be Fresh, And the olden dreaming grows The garden can be a zphyr And the rose can be No one asks the rose to hustle No one asks the rose to hurry No one gets the wind to hurry Turning windmill in the heat, And that lounging for repose Windmill in the heat, a zphyr And the rose can be And the rose can be a rose. McLandburgh Wilson the faculty for students to expect to be mothered and fathered by them. Such a policy would be detrimental to self respect of the student body. In the second instance the faculty has always kept the whole field of student activities open, to make way for any projects which might be proposed by students or the body itself. The faculty believes that a student can best learn by doing. If "Pepper" means to insinuate that the "university authorities" are not enthusiastic over the possibilities of establishing a co-op store he has been mis-informed. The Board of Administration, the chancellor, the registrar, in fact almost every member of the faculty have at some time or another expressed their desire to assist this effort when the time is ripe. Yes, the University authorities are for a co-op store but it will never be a reality "on the Hill" until students become interested enough in it to ask for it and work for it. We hope this time is near and when it comes the student body will have accomplished the greatest piece of constructive work the University has seen for years. One Who Wants It. STILL HARPING ON IT Editor Daily Kansan; Jayhawker. The spectacle of the Kansan, in its issue yesterday, wildly screaming for the dire punishment of the Sour Owl publishers, when the whole affair was practically settled three days ago, is typical of the Kansan's newsgathering efficiency. Go on screening, for by extension, at the price of the yellow Sour Owl front to 25c per copy. By the settlement, the Sour Owl can no longer publish anything offensive to the most refined taste, but can still be dynamic Incidentally, keeping the agitation going enables the Kansan editor to manipulate it for the increased space available and to respond correspondent for the Kansas City Star. The Sour Owl contained much that was objectionable. The Owls have admitted it. But the offense cannot occur again. COLLEGE DAY NEXT YEAR? Editor, the Kansan: Well, another year has taken flight into the dark days of ancient history—and still the College, the largest school in the University, has failed to secure its deserved annual holiday. Worse than that, through severe agile training, the holidays in general have been placed on the Those Facultiekt's list of deserving citizens, and the Laws and the Engineers have—so far as the Facultiekt is concerned, at least,—been deprived of their年ear joy-fests. Now that it has been done, what are we going to do about it? When over half a thousand students in the College signify their willingness to support such an event—to participate in the entertainment, if necessary—every College man is simply aching to date (for the prettiest girls in school are students in the College)—WHAT are we going to do about it? At the Student Day services recently, the Engineers, through their speaker, declared that they would have their holiday—and that they wouldn't have it on Saturday, either. The Laws, too, object to wiping out with a single faculty ruling their Uncle Jimmy Day tradition which they have been years in building up. And the College Two weeks ago there was a new president of the College elected without opposition. This man is prominent in school activities, and has many personal friends behind him in college. The college counselor Clevie Day through. Will the man be big enough to meet the situation next year? As a student who has attended and enjoyed the talks of such men as John Kendrick Banges, J. Berg Esenwein, and Charles F. Scott in chapteuin, the past semester, I would like to express my gratitude to the precintion of the benefits derived from them, and my desire for more speakers of the same caliber. WANTS MORE GOOD SPEAKERS Editor of the Kansan: O. L. It is common gossip on the Hill that the University authorities have been brought in to regard to the chaplain services this year. That the quality of the speak ers served up to those faithfits who maintain regularly is not so good as in the past. P. H. O. Let's have better speakers and more of them next year! PRAISES DEAN SELTON PRAISES DEAN SKILTON It is said that seamed insn there been such an enthusiastic demonstration and never in the history of musical events in Lawrence, Kansas, such offerings and fervid applause as were used to play two compositions of Deen C. Collier, the University of Kansas School of Fine Arts, by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra on May 5. Mr. Skilton led the orchestra during the two numbers, receiving an ovation at the close. These compositions were the prelude to his opera "Teoendorra" played with virility and vigor, and the charming lullaby, "The Storm," With such a splendid orchestra as The Minnesota Symphony and the composer welding the baton, the works could not fail to be interpreted in a way that would skight lovers of music—Musical Courier, May 19. LOOKING FROM THE CLOISTER'S SHADOW "REGULATING" STUDENTS STUDENTS One of the classes of humanity that have won a larger force in the sun than was once theirs is the university student. A hundred and fifty years ago he was a being and had no rights that a professor was bound to respect; today, he basks in the sunshine of student government and smiles with easy tolerance at the severest of his instructors. The strictness of discipline attempted more or less successfully by the older colleges may be explained upon the ground that those institutions, being as a rule theological, felt it necessary to adopt the rigid system that, in family and school alike, was supposed to be requisite for the development of character. That system overlooked no detail. Every act of the day was prescribed, and, to hold the balance even, a multitude of acts were proscribed. Harvard forbade 83 different offences, and her rules were the model for later colleges. "Every freshman sent on an errand," directed the "Orders and Customs" of Princeton in 1760, "shall go and do it faithfully and make quick return." Not only freshmen, but all others as a space of "where to keep their hats off for the President and about 5 to the twelve arrangement amounted to a system of espionage. Tutors made the rounds of Nassau Hall at least three times a day to "direct and encourage" their changes, and to see that they were "diligent at their proper Business." They made their presence known at a closed door "by a stamp, which signal no scholar shall imitate on penalty of 4d." For these irritating minute regulations there was one. justification that it is easy to forget today; the students of the eighteenth century were often mere boys, to whom the line between liberty and license was invisible. Nevertheless, over-regulation provoked rebellion, and organization and riots were a recognized method of order and enforcement, to understand that the "scholars" were dissatisfied with their way of conducting things. Thus the fault was not all on one side, if indeed it was not more often on the side of those above expenses, usually about $200 each per year. Two students have laundry agencies, and about a half dozen have agencies for pressing and tailoring shops. Three students work in clothing stores. Other students work in jewelry stores, drug stores, offices and book stores. One student is a newspaper reporter and two are college students. The students are church jitens, and eight are parishes. Three student preachers have regular charges in churches located in small towns near Emporia. About a dozen furnaces for their rooms. The men of the school do not have a monopoly on the money making. Several college young women wait tables in the college dormitory for their board, and three have places in Emporia homes, where they earn a large part of their expenses. One has regular employment as a stenogrammer at downtown office, and another has charge of the college advertising. The pay received by college students ranges from small sms received for odd jobs by students who do not have regular employment to amounts aggregating $500 per year on regular jobs. One student claims to have make over $1,800 during the time he has been in college, exclusive of summer work.-Emporia College Bulletin. THROUGH EGYPT ON IMAGINATION A grand piano will be given to the student who can tell whether George Egypt is a small country for its age and previous conditions. The natives who do not make a living from the tourists are farmers a few weeks each year, just as are the so-called American farmers. The principal products are dust, fake curios, insects, guides and cigarettes. The country is so old that you get tired trying to think about it. Long before Christopher Columbus chatted with Queen Isabella, the undertakers of Egypt had their unions and scale of wages. Forty administrations prospered from the fat of the land until finally they had to build pyramids in order to get their share of the treasury. The country is surrounded with deserts and the sun works two shifts each day. The national dish of the Egyptians is a hash made of everything that was in the kitchen. The taste fingers just as the taste of calomel remains, long, long afterwards. The Arabic word for this is **أَحْبَشَ**. Every one calls upon Alah several times a day to help him speak it. Compared to the land where one can buy ham and eggs and pie a la mode, Egypt isn't in it. If Cleopatra had known a good recipe for apple dumplings, she and Antony would have lived happily ever afterwards. The land of the more or less brave, where one has to build a fire in order to cook a meal, is more to my liking. There's a moral to this departure from our own style. It isn't what you say exactly, or how you say it. Get a "rep" and then ramble along, unhampered by facts, and the pen is mightier than the plow and sword combined. The first and most important thing, however, is to get the reputation — Ohio State Lantern.
