The Daily. Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, more than merely printing the students' names on their faculty or the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be maniacous; to be courageous; to be troublesome to wiser heads, in all, and to qualify the students of the University.
Flat Play and Accuracy Bureau Prof. H. T. Hill...Faculty Member Jon Doseph...Student Member John M. Henry...Secretary to make mistake in an experiment or impression in any of the columns of the Daily Kansan, report it to the secretary at the Daily Kansan office, instruct you as to further procedure.

THE INTERSCHOLASTIC
The failure of the Kansas four mile relay team to "deliver the goods" at the Drake Relay Carnival Saturday is an incentive for making the annual interscholastic meet the "best ever."
The fact that the Jaylawkers lost to men, no better equipped physically than themselves but trained from the time they entered the preparatory school, should serve to stimulate interest in the high school competition.
Athletes from Michigan, Chicago and Wisconsin outstripped the Kansans because they had been trained and disciplined along these lines over a considerable period of time. Each of these schools encourages athletics among the young men of its respective territory.
The University of Kansas will be the host to the track athletes of this state a week from Saturday. Is there anything you can do to help the good cause along?
If participation in interscholastic athletics develops men who can leave home, stand up under the trip, and come through in the foreign competition, then interscholastic competition is a good thing. It is helping in the making of real men.
FIGHTING FOR THE STUDES
By Special Correspondent At the Ringside.
On the campus arena where many similar battles have been waged, the roped enclosure is all prepared, and the ambulances wait for the beginning of the annual battle between Faculty and Spring. The contest has been postponed several times owing to the belated appearance of the veteran Spring. He is now here, in the pink of condition, fresh from the training camps of the Southlands.
Faculty has been here for some time, waiting the tap of the bell, confident and prepared—but not over-confident.
In their corners, the two are glaring at each other belligerently. Spring is surrounded by his large group of camp followers, Tennis, Golf, Baseball and Strools, while Faculty is seconded by the Powers-That-Be. With Spring showing such great condition Faculty money is disappearing.
ROUND I— At the tap of the bell the fight is on. Faculty opens up a bewildering attack of quizzes, book reports and lectures. Spring can only block and hold on. Distinctly Faculty's round.
ROUND II—Faculty continues force attack along same lines. Spring stands up well, and answers with a strong right to the jaw, in shape of the Junior Prom.
Faculty counters with semi-finals, but does not哭 Sneire. Round even.
does not jar Spring. tound even.
ROUND III—Spring tries running tactics and experienced floorwork of Faculty prevents decided gains. Spring gets in effective wallop by announcing that Woodland Park will open soon. Faculty finds the pace fast and is content to hang on. Goes to corner groggy. Spring's round.
FLASH--Spring knocks Faculty out in 10th by confirming report that midweek rule is not enforced anyway. Faculty takes the full count. Spring goes out in triumph on the shoulders of the studies.
It is said that students of mathematics are on the average more accurate and truthful than other students. In view of recent difficulties we suggest a course in mathematics for journalism students.
Taking the noise made by the visitors to the Hill last week as a criterion we pronounce W. O, W. a most expressive name for them.

A kid writer on the University Daily Kansan, who has no better half to make him afraid, perpetrates with less powder on herself, but never a Maxim silencer." Not that we believe what the kid writer says, or that we endorse his sentiments. But when he has a kid has, "Wellington Journal."
Chasing the Glooms
The "kid writer" of Chasing the Glooms column would say to the Wellington Journal that if the possession of a "better half" means being afraid to say what he believes he is thankful he is a kid.
Too much threshing usually leads to the sowing of wild oats, speaking paradoxically as it might seem.

The height of the ridiculous was reached when a New York periodical pleaded that the reporters of that magazine William Allen White. It can't be did.
Pandora's Box
"Oh, honey, won't you come over and eat dinner with me tonight?" the girl-politician will say to you pleasingly as you meet her on the Hill. "And you want to go out, will go with her, thinking how nice it was of her to invite you.
THE GIRL POLITICIAN
You will have a good time at the dinner. The girls will treat you as if you were a queen, and everything from the weather to the next spring-party is talked about. And then, just as you start to go, and have begun to frame that nice little speech about what a good time you have to jump on you in a body, and ask you whom you are going to vote for.
Of course, the laws of hospitality have to be observed. So also you like to retain your self-respect by sticking to your former promise. So what will you tell her? You stumble around for words, and blush, and look uncomfortable, and plead with you, and you're promised to vote for the other side, although you wish you hadn't, etc., etc.
"Honey," she will say to you,
that doesn't make a bit of difference—not a bit of difference. You probably promised them before you knew what was out, and it will be all right for you to change your mind now."
"No," you insist, "true to your ideas of right and wrong, "you know your candidate had her petition out two weeks before the other one but I didn't sign it; I waited until saw who she was running again."
Well, you don't know how it happened exactly, and you never will complete it, but you should completely bent, and before you left the sacred politician's den, you had promised to vote for Namie Mulligan—by far the best, the nobleest, the most brave woman to own. You're president of the Suffering League.
'Well, now, you just do the way you want to, but I know you think Name Mulligan is the best, now don't you?"
REQUIEM.
Under the wide and starry sky,
Dig the grave and let me lie.
Glad did I love and gladly die,
And I told me down with a will.

DESIDERATA
Four things a man must learn to do
1. Learn the value of honesty.
2. To think, without confusion, clearly.
3. To love his fellow man sincerely;
4. To trust in God and hears parley.
5. To trust in God and hears parley.

When a girl gets a fellow to sighing, he had just as well begin saving his money to buy furniture.—Sedgwick Pantagraph.

The Betty Way.
We note the newspapers saying that a certain eminent man was educated "at his mother's knee." What's noteworthy about that? She was every other boy—and we can testify that some of our painful lessons were learned while being across "mother's knee." -Gomer Davies.
An exchange says: a farmer, coming to town today, drove his buggy through a mud hole while the wheels 'round. "Sedgwick Pantagraph."
A man can now walk across the United States of America without touching a state which has a legalized saloon. This is to say, it will be so after all the new laws have become effective. He would pass through the states of Georgia, Alabama, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, Oregon or Washington. That's a fine streak of white across the American Republic and some day it will be all white—Jewell Republican.
An Illinois woman complained in her petition for a divorce that her husband mewed like a cat. She was not alone. Her family, her loving spouse, as most women complain because their husbands roar like a lion, growl like a bear, or like a cur. You just simply can't compare some women. -Gomer Davies.
THE QUITTER
The quitter is one of the best-known members of society. He gave promise of being a quitter when, at the age of thirteen, he vowed he would never go to school another day. It took all the persuasive power, and not a little physical force, he would order a mon to induce him to change his mind. He returned under protest, and thereafter threatened to quit as often as he felt like starting something. Finally, perhaps, in his junior year in high school, he fell in love with a girl in the class above him for her beauty, so order to prepare a home that she married as soon as she graduated. But about the time his job had yielded him three monthly payments of $10 each on a lot, he quit the girl and turned his attention to another who was the sole heir of parents who owned a very good home. About two years later, he was the most adorable man on earth, he began to take a new interest in his job, and worked nights at the office while another paid the attention she demanded. His work at the office attracted the attention of the manager, and he decided to promote, but he decided

Receives Telephone Material The department of electrical engineering has just received a sample of
the most recent telephone discoveries from the Western Electric Co., Chicago, Ill. The equipment was sent from the Kansas City branch through the courtesy of B. F. Uhrig, of that company.
Mrs. Smithers—How is it that your husband is such a small man? Mrs. Biggers—Oh, he shrinks from danger. Chaparral.
The High School Student who feels an interest in such a vocation as Mechanical Engineering
should be encouraged in knowing that the growth of industry, and the modern striving after efficiency, open a broad way of opportunity to the able mechanical engineer. He is always in demand. His position is often one of large responsibility. He is well paid.
A four-year course in mechanical engineering with the advantages of fully equipped shops and laboratories, prepares the student to enter this broad field under the best conditions.
