Lawrence, Kansas
Phones - K. U. 25 and 66
The Daily Karen aims to picture the ideal child. She does not want Ranassa; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas she wants, but to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be curious and to be more serious problems to water hands; to serve to the heart of its ability; to learn and grow.

K. U. STATE GOSSIP ANI MORALITY
State gossip has it that the University is a community of associated debauchery, drunkenness and demonical delight. Unhalanced description tells of one wild week end, beginning September 15 and terminating in all night parties, painted with an alluring breath of scandal, the following merry month of June.
The Athenian drama of education at Lawrence is rehased into a Parisian ballet, plus a deep and dark plot. The white vulture map of Kansas, dear Kansas, is besmirched by its educational black mark, the capitol of the Kansas youth. All the sins on Kansas soil are washed away to the Kaw river and to the damned at Lawrence, where the turbins of revelry and recklessness furnish the power of enthusiasm for the daring. And so the Upton Sinclairs of Main Street ploy their trade with a high guarded jaw movement.
But gossip is gossip, even in Kansas. The one-eyed pussy foots who see no farther than the top head of a seandal story, and who gad about the daughters of their state neighbors, even while their own daughter rooms across the hall, have made us mad and at the same time provoked our sense of humor.
They forget about the age of seventen, plus the next four years and its love for exaggeration. They forget that Kansas is the only Christian state in the Union. They haven't had time to look up in the Daily Kansas Almanac about the student church membership. They overlook twenty-old years spent under Christian tutelege. They fail to realize that this University is a typical Kansas community, with its usual numbers of transgressors and patron saints.
Kansas University has its religion, perhaps equally indifferent as that of the state six days a week and maybe seven; but look at your state's morality and you see your University.
However, no one gossips about rel ligion; just the lack of it.
Now that Tachir, honorary society of womm student leaders, has affiliated with Mortar Board, senior men looking for a job believe they still hold a chance for the Hod carries Union.
Some day we'll read about the fad-dist who paved his walls with Mah Jongg sets and then went crazy.
The fellow who swears at his color button ought to enter the hundred dollar content for the best ten words describing a shaving cream tube cap
To be frank, the fellow that was responsible for Ladies Home Journal jokes ought to discover a peace plan
Indian robbers are of the castle called "Kullal," following in the profession of their fathers and grandsires. An Indian who reads the American newspaper thinks we are a one castle nation.
Up to date: Little boy bandit,
come blow your horn. The law's in a muddler, some still 'bibe the "corn"
The distracted student says that if there's anything in reformation, he'd like to be born a mad dog in a professor's home.
And there goes the fellow who still thinks Guy Bates Post is a part of the American Legion.
A clothier advertises a sale "the biggest thing that ever happened in Lawrence." He forges that Bill White passed through her one.
White passed through here once.
The funniest feeling is to sit next to your prof at a Monday night vaudeville with a quiz coming up Tuesday
You buy an auto license so the police can play tag with boy bandits.
Today produces the two greatest fakes: the clairvoyant and the boot-legger who make you "see things" and keep the spirits on tap.
Editor of the Kansan:
Dear Sir:
Campus Opinion
There is no use lamenting the fact that the University students and instructors showed so little interest in the Bok Peace Plan. The answer is no, they are "it is never too late to mend." Let everybody who now sees his mistake just take a little time and spend two cents, and the thing is done. Write to the American Peace Award, 342 Madison Ave, New York City, say something. "I approve the plan in substance," any whether he or she is a voter.
That is a curious notion of your correspondent who thinks that he ought to be able to know all the 22,000 plans submitted before he is ready for the election. It is greatly grateful that seven judges selected by twelve electors gave their time and talent to save me from the necessity of looking over the whole 22,000, and both bodies were made aware of this fact. The absolute confidence of all of us.
Yours truly,
A. M. Wilcox.
Plain Tales From The Hill
"How many students are you going to flunk this semester, Professor?" a student asked Prof. John Ise. "Not a one," was the reply.
"I don't have to flunk 'em; they fflunk themselves."
It remains to be seen whether the girls will really be the ones who ask for dates to the Leap Year Varity. Most of us men could have made a difference, whose we hope will "get the air" from the first man they call up.

The other day, a Kansas reporter was told to get a story about the School of Religion. Misunderstanding the directions, he chased all over the Hill trying to find out something about the Scooter religion.
One poor student, upon learning that the theater curtain used by the Guy, Bates Post company cost $125 million as soon they would use a thousand-dollar curtain and not charge so much for the show. "After buying two tickets, I felt as though I had been in the theater," is the way he expressed it.
Speaking of Guy Bates Post, a freshman pretended to think he was the man who invented Post Toasties. He ought to have known that Post is the guy whom the Post-Dispatch was named after.

—Cleo Craven.
“—worth as much as any other college course I have taken”
“—in correlating the New Testament with other history and literature of the world and in awakening an unbiased critical attitude towards it, the course I had did much to deepen my faith in the principles of the New Testament.”—Leona Baumgartner.
“of greatest value in teaching me that one may accept the Bible as a religious and moral guide without being forced to regard it as a scientific treatise. I am preparing to be a journalist and writer, and, of course, a knowledge of the Bible is necessary from a utilitarian standpoint to the person who is trying to do any creative writing. My course helped in this.” Ben Hibbs.
“—worth a great deal in acquainting me with the Bible.”
—J. R. Knoblauch.
“—worth a good deal because it started me thinking about some questions which I had previously dogged.”—John Selig.
“—a valuable review of the New Testament with a searchlight thrown upon some of its problems and an interpretation ... both valuable and practical.” -Nora E. Siler.
“gave me a much sacer and more helpful view of the Bible as a whole and especially of the life of Jesus. It made me face more squarely the practical problems of religious life today.”
—Muriel Gayford
