The Daily Kauan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our teachers, and more than merely printing the news by standing for the results; it also plays favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to solve problems to wiser heads, in all, to serve the best of its duties the most.

WILL SOMEONE TELL US?
The Lawrence Water Company is in the hand of a receiver, who points with pride to what he has done so far, though the results are not strikingly noticeable on the Hill. Prominent citizens oppose the bond issue for a municipal plant, on the grounds that it will mean the tearing up of pavements to put in new mains, and that for the next nine years there will be two competing water companies. They seem confident that with a receiver in charge, everything is going to be all right.
If it were only as simple as that.
But no one has yet offered to explain how the miraculous purification and softening of the water is to come about; or why a little tearing up of the streets is going to ruin the town and make everybody miserable; or what would be the horrible results of competition.
Another factor that these good people overlook is the difference between publicly and privately owned utilities in their relation and attitude toward those they serve. All the citizens of Lawrence would be directly interested in a municipal water plant. If it were not run to suit them they would be in a position to do something. But a private corporation is in business for profit first and service second. The logical consequence is that it will spend as little as possible for improvements, and will charge as much as the people will stand for. It is responsible to no one.
We have no assurance whatever that a private company will ever give better service than it has given in the past. Unless indeed, this very competition that is regarded as so calamitous, for no reason that can be ascertained, should spur it on to do better in order to save itself. With a municipal plant in existence, the present company would have to do better or go out of business.
Is that such a terrible possibility?
TRYOUT FOR BOARD
At least six members of the Daily Kansan Board will leave school at the end of the present year. This will leave six places to be filled from the ranks of those who are trying out.
At present there are but three or four working for these positions. There should be three or four times that many. No strings are attached to the try outs. All that is necessary is the taking of assignments for news stories from the managing editor, getting the stories and turning them in.
Then at the end of the year the reporter will stand equal chance with the others for membership on the Daily Kansan Board.
Lets have competition. Members are elected on a merit basis only.
LET'S HAVE LIGHT
Students have complained generally of the lights in the seminar rooms of the Library. They hold that they are not large enough.
Professors assign work in these rooms, and the students are forced to do the work there with the books no matter how much the lack of light harts their eyes.
Surely the simple fact that the student register complaint on this invenience will bring the larger rights.
Student Opinion
Editor Kansan:
At the display of the city survey down town some weeks ago there was a long line of bottles on display, each containing chlorides, sulphates, and other chemicals. We also water supply of many Kansas towns. All these salts were white and nice, and in the bottle at least, looked very harmless; but we should like very much to have the sticky black mess that oozes from Lawrence faucets and other municipal water sources we believe the chemists' revolutions would be illuminating.

WHY NOT JUNIORS?
WHY NOT JUNIORS?
The 80 hour rule will not apply to seniors for their first semester, according to Wednesday's Kansan.
Then Why, in the name of common sense, should it apply to juniors? They are laboring under the same deference as the teachers who are deluded. Why not treat all alike?
And, if the rule were just, it could not be applied to either seniors or juniors. A man is entitled to graduation under the regulations that apply for a certain position in a contract—according to the catalog certain conditions exist, certain rules apply, and these rules should hold during any student's collegiate career.

THE DOG
I've never known a dog to wag
His tail in glee he didn't feel.
Nor quit his old-time friend to tag At some more influential heel.
Nor quit his on-time friend to tag
At some more influential heel,
The yellowest cur I ever knew
Was, to the boy who loved him, true
I've never known a dog to show Half-way devotion to his friend.
I've never known a dog to fake Affection for a present gain,
Or richer, but unto the end
The humbliest dog I ever knew
We had to be sure, true
But I have known a dog to fight
with all his strength, to shield a
Some little favor to attain.
I've never known a Prince or Spot
That seemed to be what he was not
And, whether wrong or whether right,
To stick with him until the end.
And I have known a dog to lick
The hand of him that men would kick.
The dog is listed with the dumb,
No voice hins he to speak her creed
that she has.
And I have known dog to bear
Starvation's pangs from day to day
Starvation's pangs from day to day
His bread and meat along the way No dog, however mean or rude, Is guilty of ingratitude.
By faithful conduct and by deed,
He shows, as seldom mortals do,
A high ideal of being true.
A high ideal of being true.

But such gentle words are to no avail. He heaps and pleads, and puts up all manner of arguments to win his point, and you get mudder and madder and more and more stubborn until before you know it, you are past the place of evil and are almost home. Every time you are with him, you have the same fight, with more or less variations.
"I won't," you say firmly, "won't you please not try to make me," if you please not try to make me.
Some time it is a girl who tries to lead you into the wayward path.
"Come to the picture-show this afternoon, it is a fine bill."
"Oh, I can't," you say, firmly planting your feet* for a tussle.
And so it goes! It usually ends with one or the other of you sore, and you either down-town to reconnect or else letting her think you are a prig.
"Now, come on. I'll treat you, and we'll have a nice afternoon of dissipation." She looks at you in an irresistible, pleading way.
"Well," she ejaculates, "if you aren't the worst stick ever! You never do go with us! I'll help you translate your French if you'll go."

Such is life. They say that a struggle always makes you stronger for the next one, but I fear if this struggle continues I'll become weak-knees and give in.

It is a wonder to me how so many people up here turn out pretty good scouts after all—it certainly is only their own fault if they do, for they get very hard. But you won't be hard. Why, it's the limit how hard you have to battle against the cruel world to maintain your poor little standards of morals in spite of all persuasions. Seems to me as if every one is just dead-bent upon the promise of death, and we want to do—and they are tickled to death if they ever succeed!

To begin with, you have a Library date with a Man. You know that sometimes it is a necessity, Aunt Sophie, when you have to get in a history report every Thursday. You go to walk the streets alone after 9 o'clock. Well, any way, boys are the worst ever! They know you aren't allowed to go into Brick's the way home, and they know, too, that it is absolutely necessary to take the straightest path to your house, but there's never a time that you don't have a fight to gain your point.
