The Daily Kuman aims to picture the idea of being in school, for example, by going further than merely pruning up names by standing for the ideals University. In her writings, she is keen to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be smart; to be clever; to be more serious problems to water hands; to be more serious problems to its ability of students at the University.

It's queer what a remarkable resemblance Santa Claus bears to Uncle Sam in the eyes of Europe.
A NATION'S CHRISTMAS GIFTS
To the south—Mexico, a hotbed of warfare, in rebellion against the existing government.
To the east—countries where once fortile pasture lands now are pitted with shell holes, some perhaps as yet unexploded; little children crying for bread and something warm to shield their quivering bodies from the wintry blasts.
To the west—another stricken country, victim of earthquake and tidal wave, valiantly trying to reconstruct without the aid of foreign finance.
And here in the United States—peace, plenty to eat and wear, solid earth underfoot, a stable government, and financial power. What better Christmas gifts could a nation have than these?
RIGHT-ABOUT-FACE
There is a report that Albania, being badly in need of some one with cash who can save the country financially, may make Harry F. Sinclair king. Evidently he would be expected to pour oil on the troubled waters.
A nation struggles once more to bring back the glory of old.
For seven years the Greeks fought bravely with the hope and pride of freedom and a hundred years ago succeeded in breaking the Turkish rule.
The people of Greece hope to establish Democracy in the land that was once an example to the civilized world. But for many years under the power of the Turks the possibilities and ideals of democracy were destroyed.
Political situations have gradually developed and at present the people of Greece think the time has come to again express their ideals in a democratic republic.
What an outrage the Revolutionists have committed in the expulsion of King George! The act is viewed with disfavor by mighty England. It has been disapproved by Italy, France, Jago Slavin, and Rumania. How interested the powers of Europe seem to be over the affairs of this little country.
Greece has decided her own policy of government. She knows too well how her allied friends keep their promises. She has been disappointed too often to forget.
Why should Greece listen to the powers of Europe?
The little country has been left alone in her suffering, so why should she not be unmolested in her political victories.
Whether the Greek assembly decides to adopt the French system under the leadership of Sir Bashir Zaharoff, the注记 banker, or the United States plan led by Venizelas matters little to the present situation in the country. The people have taken over the government and will run it devoid of any king or queen.
Santa Claus will accomplish one thing that cold weather and public disapproval have failed to do. There will be no rolled stockings on the fireplace.
State Comment
Mr. White's Opinion
Forty years ago and more when an American boy or girl went to college it was to satisfy a desire for education. The generation who went to college had little love in the social end of things, but the students' athletics did not draw him at all. There was none. If he was a country boy, there were a few well read books. There were a few well read books. If he was a town boy, he came from a family where there was a slightly more educated book. Books inspired him. Books and a love of reading, the desire to widen his means, the need to get by with the knowledge of the ages and the wisdom of the ages, furnished the primary urge that sent the American boy or girl to college
During the last 20 years, two things happen with children: the college has tremendously contributed to youth, quite outside of the course of study. Second, the rise of the economic family has made it possible for thousands of young people in many countries have no cultural background whatever, who are not interested in books and reading and who regard education as an equipment for making a living.
Hence, we have hordes of stupid, ineducable college students. The student who doesn't get theetics, society and hooch never touches them. They are strangers to the academics isolated and isolated from all that went with the cloistered life in old American collegiate est from all that went with the cloistered men in a little. Perhaps seeing the books in the library and thumbing and memorizing the texts of their feathers and rub off some of their barbarous paint. Perhaps they own the opolitan and The Motion Picture Magazine and sets of uncut and unbound books may decorate the rooms. And upon this poisoned pabulum, will get some inkling of the love of books and upon this poisoned spirit. Perhaps in another 50 years the college will be an influence in the higher life of the state and nation.
But just now the college is the haunt of a lot of leather-necked, brass-lunged, money-spending snobs around the campus snubbing the around the college to college to seek out reason and the will of God—Emporia Gazette.
To the Editor of the Kansas:
There is so much wholesome and much needed truth in William Allen White's recent caustic indictment of the college student of today that it might be mistaken for a joke, out losing sight of its real values.
Many of us call Mr. White our most distinguished and lovable alumnus. However, when he suggests the limits of twenty to forty years ago, he includes his own college days. One wonders when he lauds the hard times he membered the good old days. If he members in mathematics with "Dear Old Professor Miller," as he himself affectionately calls him.
One wonders, also, if when he speaks of this leather-necked, brass-lunged generation, he still remembers that interesting midnight, of which he himself, spoke in convaction a year or two ago, when, with a rope in his hand he persuaded a quiet, young gentleman to leave their studies and follow him across the campus, seeking a certain law student that they might hang him. Of course, they would have been neither leather-necked nor brass-lunged about it. They intended to take care of him in a perfect decent, comfortable study, to their studies. Mr. White, himself, lamentes smilingly, "informatively, we did not find him."
The writer suspects that the youth of today are different from their elders only to the extent that they have inherited or adopted qualities, skills and talents that angel forbears. To these they have added the disconcerting characteristic of amazing frankness, which is often too close to rudeness. When they learn to temper this with a little fierer modesty, they may bear witness to the county and scholarly ladies and gentlemen of the good old days.
This leads me to call attention to the really unpardonable sin of the college campus, which has prevailed except for rare and wonderful times in the past. We have a prodom and the rights of small nations have violently swept it away.
This is indifference to the need of the world beyond the campus. This is so real that nothing far short of up, and as soon as that is finished we straightway go to sleep again by the fireside or in the classroom. A world war is a splendid stimulus but somewhat too expensive for everyday.
Some of us, who know Raymond Carey, recently chosen as Rhodes Scholar from Kansas, know that he is wide-awake, well-informed, and genuinely interested in industry, politics, race relationships, and international affairs. He has somehow broken through the wall of indifference and campus provincialism which have become a citizen of the world.

CHRISTMAS TREE PROGRAM:
Copy received at the Chancellor's office until 11:00 a.m.
Vol. III Thursday, December 20, 1923 No. 78
There will be an all-University Christmas convoction at 10 a. m.
Friday, Dec. 21. E. H. LINDELE.
CONVOCATION:
The Dramatic Club will meet after the Christmas tree program Thur day night in the Little Theater, Green hall.
The real meaning of the Kansas Friendship Fund is that many students are awakening to the needs of the world. Students in Russia, Poland, Japan, and Hungary become our fellow students. The friendship need is to connect to their physical needs and to the spiritual needs of both of us.
Beneath Mr. White's castigation of the students of today is a faith in them, greater than men possess. If he will help us surmount the high barriers of indifference and provincialism our manners will improve, adolescents will take on new meaning, and campus life will be transformed.

I believe in Santa Claus. I believe that on noon of December 24, he bids Mrs. Claus farewell and starts southward from his home at the North Pole.
A Christmas Creed
I believe that in his pack is everything that any little University boy, girl or faculty member could want, but that he gives only to those who have been good and have not had nid-week dates, and to the professors who have not given surprise uitzes.
PHYLLIS REYNOLDS.
I believe that he is especially pleased with houses that still have a chimney for him to slide down, though he can at a pinch squeeze
through a key-hole, providing it is not a Yale lock.
And finally, I believe that he will be especially generous to those who buy red and blue Christmas candles to help swell the Student Friendship Fund.
At The Theater
(By Ted Wear)
The programs of plays which the dramatic art classes produce every now and then prove interesting and entertaining for at least two reasons. First is that the students can really supervise all the ends of production and acting in the theater, and the art class teachers can be induced on schedule time and with a surprising minimum of delay in changing scenes.
The setting of these plays are always new and rather novel and it still remains the wonder of the hill that the scenery can be constructed out of such meager odds and ends as the Little Theater affords. Lighting effects are usually well handled and are surprising when the electrical equipment of the theater is considered.

Last night's plays were diversified, and on the whole, satisfactory. There were some rough spots and also some unusually brilliant parts; some good acting and some not so good.
Two male parts were taken by women and acted by actress trying to impersonate the other sex is usually pretty poor, last night there were the exceptions which proved the rule. Elsie Davis as the Marquis in "A Minuet" looked the part and had excellent feeling for the part. Of course her voice could be quite distracting, performance was highly satisfactory.
Ruth Elizabeth Hill as the young boy in "The Conflict" had the advantage of being able to use the upper register and still complete the picture. Her performance was very good. Wilma Miller in the same play gave a fine interpretation of showing surprising depths of feeling.
In "The Silent System," Esther Volcomb had all the speaking to do,
Professor Crafton made his first public appearance in a play last night, filling in for two persons who had not appeared in the play. The first part was in the one-word play, with the stage absolutely dark. Professor Crafton was good for the play, but he also seems to be over-enthusiastic in spots. In "The Silent System," Ether
while Professor Crafton was the husband who couldn't get in a word in edge-wise. Miss Holcomb did a fine piece of work with a difficult part, but she was able to put pantomime work seen in many moons. It is to be hoped that some day he may be seen in a part where he can talk and act at the same time.
Yale teams of 1923 score a signal success. Their total athletic victories were 154 against 49 defeats, with 17捉 took place in baseball, while three tie games were recorded intercollegiate championships were captured in swimming, basketball, polo indoor and outdoor, tennis, and golf.

Christmas Presents From Any Woman TO ANY MAN
SILVERED with the dust of years is the familiar quip that a woman always selects Christmas Gifts for a man which make him mad, instead of glad. If Mrs. Reader will only choose for Mr. Reader things to wear, she'll make it a lot, not a lottery. Moreover, without surrendering one iota of usefulness and thoughtfulness she will economize prudently in comparison with many costly, tawdry presents that are put aside, instead of put on and that elicit sarcasm, instead of satisfaction. The way to a man's heart is through his craving for comfort and love of luxury. Do your Christmas Shopbing here and there won't be any "Christmas Swapping" by-and-bye.
Our sales-train, familiar through long experience with the likes and dislikes of men, will be honored to have the opportunity either to *sugarii* Appropriate礼物 to you or *select* a person in need. We look forward to attending and willing courtship, with no pressure to purchase
