Haronh Arch O'Frarrant Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones: K. U. 25 and 66 SUNDAY, JANUARY 13, 1924 The Daily Kuman is aimed to picture the daily lives of the students in Kenya; to go further than merely printing their names on golden paper; play favorite games; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be able to more serious problems to junior heads; in more serious problems to a ability of the students of the University. Statistics for the last year show that 3,263 people were killed in India by wild animals and that 20,000 people in that country died from snake bites. Which goes to prove that there are other takers of human life besides the gun-toting house-maker. FLIPPANCY It is easy to be flippe regarding the Bok pence plan and award, because flippe seems to be a fine art with the average person. Depth of thought and interpretive discussion have been replaced by cynical witticisms and rapid conversation. Is this an indication that our interests are unworthy of greater consideration or is it indicative of a shallowness which is incapable of acquiring and maintaining an interest in anything which would bear investigation and study? THE MELTING POT FAILS The college neophyte claims he learned Oklahoma geography by reading murder stories. He thinks the capital of California is Hollywood. Once more the papers are full of the bloody deeds of Williamson County. It seems that Marion, Illinois, and surrounding territory has a monopoly on booze and other rot. Life is cheap as ice in Greenland, and lawbreaking is the chief pastime. This is always the case when ignorant foreigners are given the privilege of a democratic country and are allowed to congregate together in one spot. Too much free thought and freer use of murder and arson runs at random in Williamson County. The rattle of European slums are tussled into this county to be thrown together without any guiding hand to teach them the principles of decency and independence. A few true Americans could be sprinkled around Marion without causing a riot, and they could hold the juice of a lawless element bent on destroying the sacred traditions of America. They celebrate their freedom in the only manner they know how; to grab a gun. The Marion pot is in need of a few repairs, and it looks like some measure would be taken to patch it up. Sometimes it appears a sane idea to stop all immigration to this country until we learn how to take care of what we have already inherited. The saddest case of the college graduate's business failure is that one about the advertising specialist who tried to sell ad space in hotel bibles. THE STAYPUTTER His hair is almost white, the shoulders are a bit stooped; and his face is slightly wrinkled. But those eyes have that sparkle of pleasure and contentment, for he is still engaged in the work that he has done for more than thirty years, the work that he loves and enjoys. He has that satisfaction of having rendered a great service to society. He is a college professor. He has been offered positions paying a far greater sum in material wealth, but has refused to accept them. He loves the K. U. students and loves to teach them, for in them he says is his enjoyment. They have been his companions for many years and he does not care to leave them. Such service as this is at the foundation of any institution, industry, and society. The person that moves from place to place forever searching for better things is praised as the successful man, but not upon his services does the success of society rest. The stay-putter who performs better than could anyone else, from year to year, the tasks that he loves, is the one whose life cannot be measured, and society is much better for him having lived. Judging from the captions, the press associations missed the story of a terrible-calamity in Hutchinson. Under the column heading, "Heard Here and There," the News prints the item: "Two Fords Wrecked." THE CHEAPNESS OF LIFE If Buffalo Bill and Daniel Boone were living today, they would be sorely pressed. They would find no refuge from flyling bullets and murious savages, even in the cities. They were forced to go out in the wilderness for a battle. Now bloody battles take place in the densest part of cities. In the United States at least three policemen are killed every day. A larger number of citizens are killed or dangerously wounded. Crooks flourish and increase in numbers. They do not shun public and worry little if captured. Boys of sixteen mingle with hardened convicts to accomplish their unlawful ends. Philadelphia has suffered so much from crime that the city has asked the government to release a general from the Marine Corps to take over the police department. Other cities over the nation are equally desperate. Crime is almost legalized in many places. Like booze, it is laughed at and supported by the people themselves. Rather than work to have the law enforced and booze banished, they prefer to run the risk, and every day finds more on the records of the bain. The excuse that it is the unrest following a war is too filmes. The real cause is laxity in government. People openly flaut probation in a ridiculous manner, and crime is the harvest. Judges are too lenient, andaws are too lax. It seems that certain campus buildings are forced to be erected on the Bok peace plan: constructed in sections and referred to the state legislature for final approval. FRANCE, THE EMPIRE BUILDER The latest explorational achievement to attract world-wide attention is that of the crossing by automobile of the worst stretch of the Sahara desert which lies in Southern Nigeria and Southern Tunisia. The automobile which accomplished the feat had six pairs of wheels and required two days to cross that distance of 168 miles, he crossing to the south to Timtoo, a much greater distance, has been made, but the hard ground surface made that an accomplishment of secondary importance. This achievement marks something more than merely the accomplishment of something heretofore considered an impossible feast. It pertends the knitting together of the vast French territories of Northern Africa. The distance between Southern Algeria and Southern Tunisia, which formerly required twelve days by camel caravan, has been reduced to two days by auto. France learned through her connoising experience in North America and India, where she was displaced by the British, that a vast territory cannot be successfully colonized and held by a few widely scattered trading posts. In her enviable African empire, it seems that France is putting some of her costly-learned lessons into practice. "The flapper will be a parent in 1930," predicts a modern writer. We believe, however, that the flapper will be apparent in 1930. On Other Hills Day by day, the automobile is growing worse and worse. Mr. Cone should come over and offer a little auto-suggestion. Dr. Alexander Mekelhoff, former president of Ambert College, in an address at Baltimore, declared that he will abandon the lecture system. Manley O. Hudson, professor of international law at Harvard College, in a speech on "America and the World Court" at Syracuse, N. Y., said: "If American support can be withdrawn, we may as well say that the United States has seceded from the organized world." Dr. Byron Cummings, head of the department of archaeology in the University of Arizona, and director of the university museum, has announced that he expects to lead a research effort this summer to the city of Mexico. The especial work considered is upon the ancient pyramid of Cueilcoe, already discovered by Dr. Cummings with assistance of the Mexican government. Graduates of the Michigan Agricultural College are sticking to agricultural work, according to records established at the alumni office. Five hundred men are expected to turn out for track practice at the University of Nebraska, which Contrary to other years, Northwestern University will not have a beauty section in their '25 annual, the Syllabus. The dropping of this section will add space to the campus life section and in this way more snap shots of prominent campus figures will be shown. starts immediately. Several vetan track men are back and an exceptionally strong track squid seems assured. Two years ago the girls were picked by Coles Phillips, prominent magazine illustrator, and last year the selections were made by Antoin Phone 442 1109 Mass.
