The Daily Kinman aims to picture the University, to go further than merely provide a classroom for students. The University holds; to play two favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be patient; to be kind; to be more serious pages to giver heads; in more serious pages to give ability to the students of the University.

E. H. Martin in Life tells Kansas that New York does not think well of the Volsted act. Well, we', is Mr. Martin playing funny or is he just wanting to let the Big Uncultured West in on it?
MOVIE MARTYRS
This fall you went to a picture show and paid ninety-nine cents for three of you to park yourself in the dark and with the aid of three sacks of corn; and while you mouthed a mean rubber, viewed a cocoa-nutöl knock 'em for a count of ten multised her dog a fair haired shero, that would be pride to any anti-dandruff league or a society for the suppression of bald scalp, over seven shadowy censored miles of reeled pyralin, called a plot because it covers so much ground.
This fall you went to a picture show and paid ninety-cents for three of you to roll your blinkers on scenes that made Bacchus look like a worried egg or on a series of episodes which brought you back to your old sand rat days on the river bottom and featured settings in a tent having sides like striped jamas, and surrounded by many beast made famous by Volvest. And the picture barge a pair of eyes behind you would have have your whole stack when it came to face-value and whose tricks wandered through many exciting misdeals about as clever as a mail ord catalogue.
Last fall you went to the picture show and paid ninety-nine cents three of you because some body put the barbs under your gills for one hour and a half to see an impoverished Mute Muri dance her way from the farm to Broadway and back to the horse trader when her thinker was so narrow she only had one ear drum but who was fairly good to look upon because her map was such a relief. But you went away from there feeling like the guy who runs down his dinner with two dotted cubes and rots "smoke eyes" on his last dime.
And still Will Hays has his job.

It, and you pass it by uncensored.
It is the prayer of all students that the college professors will grow as absent-minded as the newspaper think they are.
LAME BRAINS ET CETERA
In the categories of "wit-wits, dumb-bells, lame brains and numb skulls" is often classified the modern student, by himself and otherwise. Scientists look upon him as, if not the missing, at least the weakest link of the genus homo. Artists think him uncultured because he appreciates John Hold Jr., sits through an American movie and listens to music after the school of Whitman and Jolson. Philosophers disregard him, while merchants hold that all students have written, will, or would write a false chck. Humorists embarrass him, while the reformer is continually broadcasting with a long wave length and a longer face student mourn-like) tendencies. And now his own professors insist upon an intelligence test.
Some, however, are optimum enough to say, "The student possesses an intellect if he would only take advantage of it." But that is
but the professor does. In fact, he takes such an advantage that what little self-intellect the young idiot does possess is weeded out on the snags of endless outlines and finally dropped in the deep, bottomless pits if class room lectures.
And so, for four years the student puts his límpaing brain on crutches and hobbies about from examination to examination, finally emerging, graded and degraded for after life with the "intelligentia."
It is indeed satisfying to the college student and the ex-service man, apparently the only immoralists, to find that the majority of criminals are under—twenty-one.
Young Lieutenant Wood in the Philippines seems to have developed his share of the "younger generation" propensity for getting in bad with the authorities. His big "killing" on Wall street probably made some enemies for him there also. It is said that his good fortune will only fire up the efforts of the sucker class in their endowers to get rich quick. Maybe that will happen but has anyone found anything yet which would completely dishenart a genuine "sucker"? Why should that sort of statement be used for calling the young man down?
DID WOOD?
As to the ethics of the thing statements of a wide enough variation could be said to start a fight in almost any corner grocery or other open forum. Considering Wood's position in the army and his relation with official circles he might be accused of committing some serious sort of faux pas.
But, even though it seems that he did nothing any other individual speculator could not have done with honor, suppose this sort of thing isn't to be countenanced by the men who run affairs, wouldn't it be a bit more fair and altogether ethical to not throw the thing to the breezes and permit so much publicity until the definite charges and proofs are ready?
NOTE (to movie fans who ) never gone to college). All college professors don't have hook on eyes, clinging vine spectacles lurked by a yard of ribbon, nor civil war neckwear. Nor do they stand around, gaping moron-like. Of course not, not all.
"AW. LET ME BE"
When it becomes known through out the State that only 183 votes were cast on the Bok Peace Plan at the University of Kansas we are likely to come in for some rather unfavorable criticism regarding our unconcerned attitude toward national affairs. And would such criticism be unwarranted?
One hundred and eighty-three votes out of more than 3,500 students and faculty members is indeed a deplorable percentage, and surely it shows that we are not as interested as we should be in national and international problems, that our thoughts are occupied in other channels and that we prefer to be left undisturbed by anything that might cause us to think. And if university students are not interested in such things as the name of the world, who should be
While it is true that a great many students were not supplied with ballots and copies of the plan, it is also true that a majority were.
It is reported that Tex Richard, fight promoter, is promoting the national Democratic bout in Madison Square Garden. Wonder if there'll be any ticket scalping.
One thing sure, the Bok peace plan will always be O. K.
And that brings up the sad case of the forgeful fellow over in the Commons, who spread his gravy and potatoes on his lap and choked to death on his napkin. He wasn't a professor either.
Still, here comes the follow who figures out everything and says that the reason college professors have such low salaries is because they forget to sign the pay roll.

The Best and Worst
Following his usual Christmas custom, Robert E. Sherwooln. Life's critic of the silent drama, has selected the best movies of 1923. He also names what he considers the worst pictures of the year.

The pictures Sherwool branded as the worst were: "Broken Chains," "The Beautiful and Damned," "Jazzman," "The Queen of Sin." "Souls Lead Lies," "Pitcher," "Little Johnny Jones," "The Cheat," "The Marriage Maker," "The Voice from the Minaret," and "The Temple of Venus."
