The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the more than 10,000 students ther than they print; the news by standing up for them; the play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be curious; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to satisfy the needs of the University.

"Yes, Missouri, we have a school or nearly three-thousand, but there is only one eligible man who can pitch winning ball for our team." That's what Couch McCarty will have to tell the Tigers when he takes his team of clouters to Columbia soon. That is, if someone doesn't turn up between now and then. Craig appears to have the class and the other men seem to be hard workers but can't get by with any stuff. A first baseman, and three other men have claim to have little stuff compose the second pitcher of the team. "Red," winning all his games could only place his team at the half-way mark, unless we find a miracle man for the other job soon. Before it is too late, pitchers, get out and let "Mac" look at you. Yet, some forty teams battle each week in the Fraternity, Pan-Hellenic and Hash House leagues, with some of them having real pitchers' battles. That means at least forty pitches, or near pitches, in these organizations alone. And yet the Varsity is wanting a pitcher and can't find one and a third successive championship which is looming up before us must pass to some other team. THE EIGHTH COMMANDMENT It is more or less true that everybody's business is nobody's business, and it seems equally true that everybody's property is nobody's property. The lilac hedge on the east border of the campus is a gorgeous mass of bloom. It is the most beautiful thing on the campus, or in all Lawrence, for that matter. But it won't be very long, i thieves continue to rob the bushes of their blossoms. Sunday afternoon a daily Kansan reporter counted no fewer than eighteen persons taking flowers by the armfault. Most of them were from down town, and several brought automobiles to better enable them to carry away their pluder. These last employed their entire families to assist in the gathering. The loss of a few flowers makes little difference, but when the people come in crowds, all day long, the loss is considerable, and the hedge won't last long. The University should take measures to safeguard its property. COLLEGE FOR DEAF MUTES? COLLEGE FOR DEAF MUTES. This is not the college for the Deaf Mutes at Olaathe. This is the Uni- versity of Kansas for supposably live and wide awake people. But if you have been at the three opening ball games of the season you might have suspected it was the former place from the noise that was there. In the opener, with Craig pitching air-tight bail and the team outhitting the terribe "Chinks," the crowd sat there as glum as an oyster. in the second game, a losing team got not one bit of support from the bleachers, while in the third game—the first Ames game—a person two blocks away wouldn't have known there was*a ball game going on, so silent was the multitude. We have "pep" rallies during the football season and we yell spontaneously for the basketball artists. Yet we expect our baseball team to fight and what's more to win without out help. It's reasonable, isn't it? Chasing the Glooms If the statement made by the Kansas man who died at 103 years of age to the effect that he attained his age by attending to his own business is true, how in the world are newspapermen ever born? Chicago is selling "Billy Sunday" stock. A good way of capitalizing those who take stock in him. There are prostrations from the weather at K. U., but it isn't because of the heat. Back on the farm now the little kid brother is wanting to take off his shoes and stockings, and mother afraid he will afraid he will take his death of cold. Just because Isaac Walton could get away with "the fish he didn't get" story is no sign that University week-end fishers can do it. A recent edition of the University Kansas conveys the information in one of its headlines that the "zooology Clubs Meets in Snow." They certainly be up against it for as many years as the Hill - Minneapolis Better Way. It has been suggested that some students change courses because their physicians prescribe a change of air. We don't remember any such weather under a Republican administration. The new Kansas religion: nitrate for an eye, a brush for a tooth. Some men eat onions because they are engaged, and some are merely in dependent cuses. Would you call the freshman who wears his cap a neutral? In onion there is strength. "Many fashionable girls are carrying canes this spring." The abominable luck of those Laws, always stumbling right into the fashions. PANDORA GETS POETIC Just leave from our campus of K.U. There you go. the boys. I must pay But the boys will pay "Nay, nay, I needs must just see who you won." Pandora's Box About this time, when there aren't many more days of school left, there's a certain class of student most prevalent about the campus. He goes up after class, leans confidentially over the desk, and converses most intimately with his professor. Sometimes the teacher admonishes to the conversation it is made by a reason to the fact that he had studied so hard on the lesson of the day, but still didn't quite see through such and such a statement. Maybe, too, he'll take some of his scanty allowance and buy an expensive cigar, and proffer this to his dear teacher—while he cheerfully五-fiveent one himself and joying the ofer of the one too far above him. APPLIED DIPLOMACY Now this isn't such a bad way to graft if the prof doesn't catch on, but woe to the unucky student who doesn't do it diplomatically. In this case, you want someone with well schmooze smoke your cigar, explain the one hazy point in the lesson, and even allow himself to win a set of tennis from the martyr-like student. And with that, you are gliding himself on the façade that he not by with the goods. Sometimes, if he has found out what this prof likes, he may suggest to him that they have a game of tennis or golf some of these days. He might just side as he thinks how he will let his elder win the set or the match. He goes home in the fresh June days, and tells his folks that he's gotten by in everything, and he labors under this sad delusion for sometime. Then one fine day, the postman brings him a man with a monkey. Professor Easy-Bluffed has just flunked him in that course of Astronomical Sociology. Shots at Half-Cock Or Foolishment in Verse "Blankety-blank." he says, "think of the money I wasted on him." APROPOS OF FISHING There's a fever that's devouring A longing that's o'erpowering me, a gern that's running rampy in my I have visions of a fishing pole A limpid, dark, secluded hole. A crawdad digging trenches in the mud. That's calling, begging, wanting ... But the specter that is haunting me. Will find his tail a-dragging in the tree. When I've labored 'till the hot sweet run sweat ran, And found one worm to grace my can. can. I'll have had enough of fishing for a year. Student Opinion WANTS TO WORK It is very evident that if something is not done in the very near future all of the blue grass on our campus will be choked out by the dandelions. Superintendent Shea is fighting a losing fight with the dandelions and it is evident that if the present stand is not dug up before they go to seed our campus will be nothing but dandelions by June. Why would it not be well for classes to be dismissed from nine till twelve some morning this week and we should dig up the dandelions and burn them. Surely our campus is well worth keeping in a presentable condition. DANDELIONS The campus on the golf links looks like—well, finish it with any work or phrase; none can be too bad. In the past few years dandelions have spread until today the once beautiful slopes are an unstightly smear of yellow. Dandelions are so thick that they threaten to kill the grass entirely. Now at some schools the students have worked hard covering football fields so that games might be played on dry earth; at other schools they have cleaned the campus. Let everybody in this school go out some afternoon and work for a half hour two and take most of their dances. It ought to be if the campus is to look even respectable in five or six years from now, and it can hardly be done by the ground keeping force. Surely all students, women and men, have enough love for K. U. to work just a little while to keep the Hill as beautiful as it is now. If every person would be with a few minutes afternoon with a few and a smile, it would not be work, but just a real "all-University" lark. r t anyone agrees with this suggestion, let's have the opinions of the frat houses, clubs, etc., reaf soon, for the flowers will turn to seed in a few A Lover of The Hill. With the Knowledge Seekers Elsewhere A Valuable College Course $1,079.111 is the amount that Bachelor Degrees have cost the class of 1915 at Yale. In another student man the more advanced student man to spend $4500 while the poorest student, with equally good management turned in another direction, managed to get through on $200. The average cost per student in the sophomore year was $1076. To turb the tendency toward soo-bishness and high-browism, the faculty at Harvard has orained that all freshmen must eat in the commons and have their rooms in the new dormitories. The dormitory rooms are furnished with no wide doors, which the宿舍 will prevent the development of anything resembling a caste system. A Valuable College Course For Greater College Democracy Realizing the power of advertising and the "magic of the oft-repeated name," students of DePauw University have established a sure-enough press bureau and a publicity methods approach to publicity agent. The idea is of place DePauw before the public in an interesting and instructive way. The members of the Press Club have adopted the title, "Old Gold Bureau," and the slogan, "My News Nose Works White You Sneeze." Incidentally, many of these wide- DePauw Advertises Self Incidentally, many of these wideawake youths intend to enter the workforce.

Just received a letter from Haley, Says his orchestra is “Setting Purty” for the Hop—Adv. from the Chicago Herald. Macaulay's style is less messy when in public, but when wrought up to palpable excess, one attempted to criticise. It was felt to be a thing," writes Mr. Gladstone, "above the heads of common mortals." "However true it may be that" Macauley said, "we have no man in the manner than in the matter of his works, we do not doubt that the works contain, in multitudes, passages of high emotion and ennobling sentiment, just awards of praise and blame, and solid exertions of strength and constitution. They are pervaded by a generous love of liberty; and their atmosphere is pure and bracing, their general aim and basis morally sound. Of the qualifications of this eulogy we have spoken, and of the reasons for speaking of the style of the works with little' qualification. We do not, indeed, venture to assert that his style ought to be imitated. Yet this is not because it was one of those gifts, of which, when it had been conferred, Nature broke the mould. That it is the head of all literary style we do not alligece, and that its forms perhaps more different from them all than they are usually different from one another. We speak only of natural styles, or styles upon the manner waits upon the matter, and not merely upon the subject. We be reined either to hide or to make up for poverty of substance."
