The Daily Kananan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the teacher than her many printing, the news by standing for her, the news by playing no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be cheeky; to have more serious problems to wiser heads, in all, to get more acquainted with the students of the University.

WHY WE LOST
Since sufficient time has elapsed to rather ease the sting that Missouri left with the Jayhawkers in the indoor track meet, we can begin to talk of the possible ways of getting even with them for that defeat. All of the loyal Crimson and Blue supporters who saw the contest firmly believe that the better track team did not win, although due credit is given the Tigers for the valiant fight that they staged.
Our one best chance to get even for that indoor defeat is to prepare now for the outdoor track meet that comes in the spring. If you will ask Manager W. O. Hamilton why Missouri seems to win so often, he will tell you that it is because they have more candidates for the various jobs on the team than out at Kansas.
And that is true. Missouri always has many more men out trying to beat some one else out of a job on the track team and that is why it wins. If that is all it takes to win, Kansas ought to spring into the champion class right now, by having the Gymnasium so full of men trying out that the legislature will have to build on a new section to take care of them all.
There are many men in the University who were good men in high school track, but who hesitate to come out that the legislature would have to verosity ought to see to it that every man who ever had track inclinations goes to the Gym and checks out a suit. Practice begins any time.
A REAL MEMORIAL
A bulletin board left by the senior class would be an admirable memorial.
But if the fourth year students really want to be remembered on Oread, if they want to have the class of '15 hold up as THE class, if they want subsequent generations to look back in the 1915 Jayhawker for the faces of that class, they will put on a commencement that will keep students, not only seniors, but all students, on the Hill during the last week of school, and that will stand as a precedent for future commencements.
We do not know what the seniors are doing toward commencement, but they have room for all manner of work.
FACULTY IS JUST
That the faculty is alive to justice to the students is evidenced by its action exempting this year's senior class from the "I and II rule."
That the exemption was not made before was due only to oversight on the part of the professors, and a lack
of full appreciation of the hardship the enforcement of such a provision now would work. As soon as the matter was presented in its right light they did the right thing—made the exemption.

Student Opinion
PURE CARELESSNESS Editor Daily Kansan:
Several cases of carelessness on the part of students and others of downright indifference to the care and protection of children should be taken to public attention.
Among the worst offenders in this respect seem to be the baseball men who are using the basketball room in the Gym as a baseball cage without providing any protection for the walls, windows, chairs, (or workmen) in the room. Some of the baseball against the plastered walls—as many an unsightly and ragged hole through plaster and lath will testify—and against the metal guards of the windows—as a broken window glass now shows—apparently to "timber up their arms," and to see the box that is built with reflective, inexquisable, of course, and conduct seriously upon the man in charge of this squad.
Also the rooms in the east end of the Gym on the first floor are reserved and for the use of the women of the University, and taking men of the university faculty, so see that they are to play basketball, for example, in these rooms.
Lastly, (so far as this communication is concerned) the Laws (or is it groups of passing Engineers?) throw altogether too many snowballs in the general direction of Green Hall doors and windows to make existence safe for said doors and windows, nothing, of windows. Anyhow this is a species of horse play or innocent fun which should class among our childoo memories instead of our present day experiences.

Pandora's Box
THAT CHAPEL CHOIR
The next time you go to chapel and look at the sweet, seracid faces of the choir, raising their voices in daily anthems, do you ever think, "Well, they are certainly to be praised for getting up every morning so bright and early, and coming up on the Hill regularly to sing hymns."
Perhaps you try to pierce their exterior masks, and perceive their souls lying beneath, and you say to your neighbor, "Yes, such an unsettling deed." We should its reward. Already they are beginning to look more heavenly, kinder, and more charitable to their comrades—poor sinners that they are."
So you call up Professor Downing, the voice-instrructor, and say, "Kind sir, will you oblige me to the extent of satisfying my neighbor's curiosity, and tell me if these Choir-Angels are singing for love or for filthy laure"
And then you watch them outside of the frosted windows of chapel—and perhaps you expect to see them stop and give some poor little boy a penny, or help some helper with his homework, or some other Christian act of service. To your surprise, they are apparently just as thoughtless, and human as the rest of us—no better and no worse than your sinning self. And this fact shocks your senses. You can't possibly resolve to satisfy that small bump of curiosity your room mate possesses on this subject.
"Alas," thunders Professor Downing's voice over the telephone, "I hate to disillusion the sweet innocence of your neighbor, but I needs must form you that they are grossed in their worldly duties--playing tiddiewels, having dates, etc., to sing for love. Hence, a slight recompense is granted them."
"I thank you," you say in gratitude for a disappointment "in behold" of my niece.

In a Nutshell
Dear Aunt Sophie:—

"What's the dope?" he inquired, all those books? Starting a library.
"I'm going to study them," I told him. "Probably you never heard of books being put to that use, did you?" He looked at me with about as much surprise as if I had just proposed to him.
"You don't mean to tell me you ever STUDY! he exclaimed.
"Why, what do you think you're in school for? Say, I haven't opened a book this term except to write my name in it."
"Possibly you are one of those brilliant geniuses who never have to study," I observed with what I trusted, "was a sarcastic smile.
"Maybe so," he agreed. "Anyhow, I've found out that nobody but boots ever burn the midnight electricity. As long as you go to class about half the time, and look wise there's nothing to it." He grinned wisely, and assumed an air of great intelligence. I refrained from showing up and said nothing, for a wonder. "What else you taking?" I finally asked him.
He roared. "Some course! It took me three days to figure it out, but now I can modestly claim that I got the sweetest snaps that were ever assembled on one program. Let's see, there's 'Sociology.' You've had an education philosophy, two hours, lecture—dreams; Living Plant, five hours of movies, with plenty of time for naps; Oral Interpretation, two hours. That is sure fierce. I have to speak a piece almost every month. Oh, it's a hard, cruel. Nothing to do with himself. He's like expanding with himself that he fairly expanded as we walked along.
"Did you ever take Chemistry?" I inquired. "Pooleh question 9 million
"Chemistry!" he hooted, "Say, do you think I want to work?"
"Pardon me," I said humbly. "Well I think I'll have to leave you here." "By the way," said he, "Have you a date Friday night?"
"I'm awfully sorry," I said without one quall of conscience, "Mother has written me to be sure and come home Friday."

A BIG IDEA FOR KANSAS
Betty
A BUG IDEA.
He idea by Chancellor Frank Strong of the University of Kansas; the war will leave the great schools disrupted, youth will be sapped in strength and broken. War is hard on everything, hardest on the schools. Our revolution wiped out our colleges. We need higher schools in the South. The Universities in America are intact. They lack in one thing—the vigorous intellectual discipline which has been characteristic most of all of Germany. For the German schools have a very different question when any reason whatever do not conform to the most rigid intellectual requirements.
There is no sense and no profit in being easy. Intellectual discipline is worth while in every sense of the word. This is a skill you will bring it—and that is compensation to teachers and investigators in universities that will be commensurate with talent. This is an opportunity for America, equalling in trade or land or sea, and Kansas might lead to in-wich Tahoma Eagle.

vim, and his knees refuse to bend when the rheumatize puts him out of biz; that's when he needs a friend! When his dough's all gone and his trunk's in the pain and frown; when the north wind blows through his tattered clothes and chills him through and through; when he's had hard luck and raised no truck to pay him a divend; when he has no money, when he needs a friend! But if he's done his best with a manful zest to live by the golden rule; if he's turned no trick to get rich quick at the expense of some poor fool; if he hasn't followed an honest trend; when the end he nears of this vale of tears; he's apt to have that friend.
