The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than to go further by merely printing the news by standing on the podium; to play no games; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be serious problems to wiser heads, in all, as well as to satisfy the student of the University.

FRIDAY, MAY 7, 1915
All the sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action. —Lowell.
The signs ought to come down.
EYESORES ON MOUNT OREAD
Never for years has the campus been so unsightly as it is now. The University authorities have allowed crude advertising signs to be placed on the most conspicuous parts of the campus. These signs destroy every grace of the University site. They are eyesores. They do not belong on Mount Oread. They betray the beauty of the campus.
Evidently Professor Millis' book on the Jap problem is going to press a little early. But maybe he's planning a late war extra.
THE OREAD MAGAZINE
The Oread Magazine which makes its appearance on the Hill today is a creditable publication in every way. Its attractive appearance in no way belies its contents and the whole issue is a testimonial to the cleverness of native Jayhawkers.
In choosing the speakers for Student Day football candidates should be used. Physical prowess encourages free speech.
STUDENT EFFICIENCY
STUDENT EFFICIENCY
In distributing the Jayhawker yesterday, the 1915 management deserves commendation from every student interested in seeing undergraduate affairs handled expeditiously. Too often a listess spirit enters student enterprises and allows them to lag shamefully. But the editor and business manager of the current Annual have shown themselves ready to conduct the affairs of their class publications to the best of their ability. And they have been successful
It is a good idea for Coach Mr. Hamilton to pick Jayhawkers for the Nebraska meet as the paper suggested yesterday. Long tail-feathers, you know, offer a good hold for the enemy.
DEFENDING FIST FIGHTS
DEFENDING FIST FIGHTS
A fight occurred between two small sons of University professors recently. It is a lot of fun to watch such a struggle of primitive instincts. And most of all, it is fun to mix into yourself—when you are a small boy. Far is it from this newspaper's intent to look with approval on prize fighting. It merely wishes to extol the exquisite joy of being a small boy and pummeling a playmate, or getting pummed ourselves. Some good folks will say that little boys ought to be taught their Sunday School lesson and their letters. Surely, but the
fun of piling into the unscrupulous marble player is something to be equalled only by a mammoth installment of pumpkin pie. No doubt the young pupils of yesterday afternoon were chastised very properly by their horrified mothers. That of course is one of the fortunate conventions of American civilization, but the laugh those daddies had when they learned of the juvenile engagement must have been marred only by the slight chagrin of the father of the defeated youngster.
taken young.
But this pleasure which is to be found in mauuing another for a just cause disappears with age. And the Daily Kansan begs to be excused from any invitation it might receive to enjoy itself in this manner.
GOOD FOR THE WORK
The May Fete is being planned on a large scale this year, and much hard work is being put into the preparation for it. It is just such enterprises as this that give college wo-
GOOD FOR THE WOMEN
Is That Sufficient?
(For Mothers' Day, Sunday, May 9.)
When the University Senate passed a resolution at it's last meeting, abolishing all holidays, university tickets and kick downward the student body another thing to apologize for. The Senate has not deigned to give any explanation for the cause of this action but is only loratory at that there are no exceptions except the personal wishes of the Senate's members. To a disinterested observer it would upa hurried hose, impaled.
But she will answer it. There are the chickens, and your dog who trotted to the little white school house with you, and the old horse. The rain is bringing out the garden, and the screens went up yesterday. She wants you to be sure to drink your saffrasfas tea. And above all, she wants you not to work too hard on your lessons. Commonplaces. But you know it's genuine.
And then you scribble half a dozen words in answer and on Mothers' Day wear a red carnation—or is it white

In the busy whist of University life, we are tempted to let slip from our memories the picture of her whose hair is beginning to feel the touch of Winter. We forget to see her leaning on the gate, waiting for the postman; to be disappointed perchance!
Now they accuse Kannas of being intemperately dry.
After a week perhaps, her vigil is rewarded, but the envelope is flat. The scrawled page is carelessly done, a guruff greeting to so tender a heart. But the scratchy page is read a dozen times. Each word is weighed. A mind that understands gently looks behind the phrase to find perhaps a homeisness. And she smiles to think her boy so brave is hiding it. She turns the page hoping to find a postscript. There is none. Just a hurried note, impatient, neglectful, callous.
Chasing the Glooms
Well never mind, blame the light vote on the rain.

We are all for the home talent folks but the K. U. orchestra will have to give it to that Minneapolis Symphony aggregation.

The University Senate lacked diplomacy in abolishing special students. You know the students have their way at a special convocation Tuesday.

pear that the Senate is opposed to everything that will go toward the forming of a stronger school spirit and of those University traditions which should make K. U. a force in the lives of its alumni.
It seems high time that the student body of the school got together and took some of the running of the institution into its own hands. Our course has made it special for student governance makes this a particularly unfavorable time but if the student body does not develop more fighting spirit the University is bound to suffer. The students should demand an explanation from the principal or refusing a College Day and in abolishing all holidays for next year.
Even if the legislature, the Senate and the Men's Student Council do seem to have conspired together to ruin the school, there is still hope and that hope must come to pass through students. We must defend a united fighting spirit which cannot be tampered with with impunity. If the student body is the University why doesn't the teachers have something to teach with the affairs of the University? Let's get together and make everybody treat us square.
Miami- According to the ruling of the University Senate seniors will be dismissed from school on May 27, which is ten days before graduation. (That interest to us in that senior privileges at Texas do not exist.)
I notice that the Board is going to make the "Old Songs Convocation" an annual event. This is a fine thing for the Board to do but instead of providing for a convocation where the students get together once a year they ought to provide for some such event once a month.
The morning prayers may be a success but give the students something worth coming to attend once a month and there will be no "holler" on the attendance. Let's have these get together convocations offener,
