The Daily Kanaan aims to picture the undergraduate life of a student further than merely printing the news by standing for them or playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to handle problems to wiser heads, in all, to seethe to the best of its ability the problems to wiser heads, in all.

FRIDAY,APRIL 30,1915
(The editorial page today is in charge of Earl R. Crabb. Any kick should be directed toward him—J. M. H.)
Uncle Jimmy Green seems to have a budding lawyer in Halleck Craig. Yesterday in the case of K. U, vs. K. S. A. C. he succeeded in convincing the Aggies that they didn't have a chance at the Missouri Valley Championship. As usual, a strong right arm and healthy body figured prominently in the pleadings.
"Eat great men" was Carlyle's advice to the seeker of knowledge. At present most of us are so busy putting spoonfulls of knowledge into our buckets and subsequently emptying it into quiz books with a shovel, that there is no time for that kind of eating.
Who can deny that the opportunity to hear and come in personal contact with such men as Graham Taylor, John R. Mott, John Kendrick Bangs and 'a host of other luminaries in their respective lines is not worth laying off on the bucketing process once in a while.
WHEN THE CHANCELLOR
WHEN THE CHANCELLOR SINGS
Chancellor Frank Strong is not a Tom Thumb. He is built on ample lines. His head is somewhat remote from his feet. Perhabs that is the reason freshmen and sophomores, who are somewhat smaller of stature, are apt to think that the Chancellor lives among the clouds and is therefore quite inaccessible. A good many college prexies go through life misunderstood and unappreciated by students who only touch the hem of their personalities and but dully sense their innermost thoughts and dreams.
If there be any minguided plodder on the campus who thinks the Chancellor lacking in the human touch, unconcerned in the happy-go-lucky life of the campus, that poor wretch should have been at the old song service the other morning. The Chancellor sang in a brave bass "The Two Grenadiers," and then rang the joy-bells again by seating himself at the piano and playing his own accompaniment to some rollicking staves that harked back to the days when he performed on the glee club at old Yale. And he wore a boyish smile that would warm the blood of a wooden man.
It was wort holdins and ducats to watch expressions come and go on the faces of the younger studies. They nudged each other, listened with all their ears, and then applauded with gusto. It had been an education to them. It had pried, loose, the old fashioned idea that chancellors are
not supposed to unbend from their dignity or to be human. Chancellor Strong won them all, by a deft flicker of the ivory keys and some old college melodies. He made many new friends and renewed an o'd regard.
WHEN IN DOUBT—ASK
We welcome the visiting delegations from the various high schools and wish them each and every one success and a profitable time. The former is impossible if measured from the angle of points in the track events for there must be winners and losers or there would be no races.
But every man who makes the trip has an opportunity to see the great University in its entirety and to meet fellow Kansans from all over the state. The winning of points is indeed a small matter compared to the other great opportunities.
And—just a word of advice—if we may be pardoned. Mr. High School Athlete, the University of Kansas is yours for the day. Every loya' servant of the institution is at your disposal and if there is anything you want to know or see, ask about it. The entire student body is ready to help you.
ON GAMBOLING
Since several hundred students in the College have signified their intention of participating in the proposed College Day festivities, there is no longer any convincing argument against this requested holiday. Any institution which can bring that number of people—or even a much smaller gathering—into close personal contact should be encouraged by the faculty.
From the earliest of times writers have urged their circle of readers to lay dull care away whenever possible. Phaedrus in his fables says: "The heath that always bent will
One bow that's always bent will quickly break;
But if unstrung 'twill serve you at your need.
So let the mind some re'axation take
To come back to its task with
'hear bad.'
The barring of a due amount of recreation at a time like this is apt to be followed by moodiness, or worse, by dull melancholy. Certain it is that any amount of so-called "Spring fever" could be averted were the faculty favorably disposed towards the request of the College.
Chasing the Glooms
The reporter who wrote that Professor Harrington weighed 218 plus must have been considering by his selling scales.
If Raymond Robins can bring to Oread the same kind of weather that accompanied him on his March trip we are for him right now.

Is printed there the paper that does not run a dandelion cure prescription now?
"Why, do you know," said a wise little sophomore one day, "all last year I had the most mistaken idea of what to do when a man of a man as near all gold as he."
"How's that?" asked the freshman she was informing. "Isn't he? Course, I've never seen you soft spot in my heart for him. Why, he sent home my grades last semester, after I'd told my folks that I was making all Is and Iss. And it sure got me in trouble; they were HIAs—every one, but one C."

Pandora's Box
"Himph," ejaculated the little freshie. I'd like to see any one who makes me pay fees, and take courses in cooking than I care to be kept, that I'd like."
"Well, that wasn't his fault. You know they make him do that. That is what he's here for, and of course, that's what you're going to do, you would ever lie to your family."
"All right," said the wise sophmore, "come with me." And with that the two of them made their way to the registrar's office.
A WOMAN'S VIEWPOINT
Such is the life of a registrar.
In opposition to the students who are condemning the dress suit and affairs formal, this is a plea for both. There is talk in the University of having fewer formal parties, and letting the informal rolling sort of affair have the first place. Kansas, a very informal state, by reputation, seems to show symptoms of discarding the little hard earned formality that it has acquired.
We of the middle west have very little's formality in our systems. It is only the last generation that has had time to come in out of the corn fields, or off the plains, to learn the art of wearing the liverys of formality. There may have been a few parents at home who have sniffed at the "accouterments of snobbery." yet on the whole, the dress suit has for several years, gone on its way the companion of the sportive youth in most of his joyous hours of polite revelry.
And now they want to abolish it! The abolition of the formal party in the University of Kansas would be a mistake. Of us come from small towns where the dress suit is viewed with alarm. We come to school, a stranger to it, and after we leave many of us come within hailing distance of it again very few times.
The formal party is the one time the youth of the middle west has to learn the poise and self assurance which marks our more formal eastern brothers. Besides that it is fun to be able to dress your once in a while to look like the illustrations in the magazines, and to know that no one can bill you from a millionaire though your allowance is only 30 a month.
So, since it is your only chance, probably, unless you join the Elks in your own town, let us make a Formal Party and the Dress Suit a sacred and time honored tradition in K. U.

Little Glimpses of College Life
What of It?
A statistician at University of Californi-
a had nothing better to do compared
to the students.
Since the women's swimming pool has been opened this spring, nine gallons of soap, 3000 towels and 1000 gallons of water have been used. Red cups is the favorite color of bathing caps, with green and blue close behind.
At Washington State University it was calculated that 70,000 malted milks were consumed by the students annually. This would fill a reservoir of 5,000 gallons capacity. The cost of the luxury is $8,750, enough to pay the expenses of 29 students at the university for one year.
Syracuse Students Serendade Teddy
Ex president Roosevelt is stopping
from going now on. The students at the University found this out when they were having the first college sing of the year. The spring promptly assumed the form of a serenade to Mr. Roosevelt, and he promptly prompts speech of greeting, and expressed a wish that every student present could be on the jury.
Cow Help Pay College & Expenses About forty per cent of the students at Kent State are agricultural college and their college education without any support from home. Several novel; forms of employment are found among the students. Several men club together and each buys a cow. For the milk received from this herd they are given their room and board.
STUDENT OPINION
Mysterious Benefactors at Virginia Five one hundred dollar bills fell out of a letter to the president of the University of Virginia recently. The letter was headed "The Loan Statement that this money was lent for the use of needy and deserving students.
Another Tradition for Colorado
The sorority women of Colorado University are busy sewing dainty track trousers for the athletes, who will compete in the inter-college track meet. Fifty such trousers are in various stages of manufacture and could not be forbear to put a little lace and what not on 'em. Brightly colored ribbons are also used extensively.
Cow Helps Pay College Expenses
Soon students of this University will settle whether they wish fellow students to be burdened with passing on their good conduct.
SHALL DISCIPLINARY POWER BE RETURNED? TWO VIEWS
For four years I have seen that great desire of the Student Council, name'y to pass rules and enforce them, interfere with them, they have you. started. To be fair, they have done considerable up to this year.
A council which seems to have as its only object the passing of rules is defeating the purpose for, which it was organized. If the Council is relieved of this medium to show its authority, it will settle down in business and answer real impressions to Mt. Oread. There is importance to be done and no other organization will be in so favorable a position to accomplish much.
Editor of Daily Kansas:
He: I didn't know it was so late.
Are you sure that clock is going?
If you were guilty of an offence, would you prefer to have a commission of your fellow councillors? Or rather that a faculty committee handled your case?
A. Senior.
In my estimation, the student who has been disciplined by his fellows will realize the justice of their decision. If the faculty had a hand in the affair he will go out from the University-or perhaps the institution-with a grouch on the school and with a knife for its perning.
Editor of the Daily Kansan:
At the Cottage
Feminine voice from above: It's going a whole lot faster than you are, and I don't mind it.
Why condemn all student government as unsound because it has not proved a remarkable success in the few years Kansans have tried it out? At various other institutions, some larger and some smaller, it is on a firm basis and operated successfully.
Ted Cronemeyer says the first pop concert was a howling success.
Why not have some of the theorists on political science apply themselves to the case? No doubt they could work out something more satisfactory. It is significant that at many other institutions a smaller body has
the entire disciplinary power-four
example a sub-committee of five or
more selected from within the coun-
cil or committee appointed by the
council.
I think it would be much more to our credit and future good to buckle down to this problem and work it out. I think we are quitting before the last lap begins.
WHY APPEAL TO GOVERNOR?
Senior.
Editor Kansan:
It is natural that students in the School of Fine Arts should object to the change made in the work of Dean Skilton. It is proper enough that they should feel free to enter their protest. But they are muking a seriouse group trying to derogate the error of the state because in so doing they seem to recognize a false principle as to the relation of the governor to the University.
If a University professor were being removed or appointed at the request of the governor and against the wishes of these same students they would be quick to see that a dangerous person could be given to give a governor power in such appointments would be to turn the educational institutions of the state into political patronage. They should recognize the same principle in the present situation. Let them protest at the governor if they feel that they must go to some other power then let them appeal to President Wilson.
