The Daily Kama aims to picture the ideal man, who is brave, selfless and generous; who is to go further than merely writing the name by standing for the ideas; who is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be gentle; to be serious; to have serious problems; to know kinds; all to serve to the best of his abilities the best possible.

Perhaps it's another "sad commentary on American Democracy" that some men are too snobbish to run for Congress—they don't "care to associate with Congressmen.
COMRADES
Ten dollars never bought so much human life in the history of the world as it does at the present time. Neither has ten dollars ever possessed so much influence. In America it means little, in comparison, but in Europe it means life itself, and in a broader sense it means the future peace of the world.
By means of these dollars, the students of America have within them the power to influence to a significant degree the future of the world.
Imagine for a moment a young man or woman living in the earliest kind of lodgings, wearing the cheapest and often the scantiest kind of clothing, and constantly wondering from where the next meal is coming. What would it be like to have to return from school to a cold bare room and study by a rude home-made lamp? How would it be to sit down to a meal of rething but a bowl of thin soup?
The European student asks, "How can there be a God when we are forced to suffer as we do?"
To see food appear from an unseen source, from a people he never saw, from a nation across an ocean, as an act of God himself! And so he is led to believe; his appreciation becomes deeply rooted.
One can purchase human life by keeping it alive, he can restore faith in man and faith in God, and he can provide for the peace of the world by supporting the Student Friendship Fund. Can anything be easier and yet so intolerable?
In a few years these students will be leaders in their countries. By the expression of the student's good-will through the European Student Relief, the good-will of the nations of the world can be secured for the future. A student's influence is far-reaching.
The reading public is getting so fed upon old King Tut that a half column about him now calls forth only a lukewarm "tut, tut."
TO CUT OR NOT TO CUT
A student who cuts classes for an invalid reason is apt to remind one of the Biblical quotation—"casting pearls before swine," though every student would undoubtedly resent such an implication.
Why do they do it?
Probably, in most cases, because they feel that one cut doesn't make any difference. But this attitude is apt to resolve itself into another before the semester ends—the "I don't care whether I go to that class or not!" attitude.
The "cutter" finds himself getting farther and farther behind, and when he returns is haffled at the progress the class has made while he was away. The things discussed are now and strange to him; the final loops up menacingly and he begins to wish he had never begun the course.
The "catter" usually cuts because he hasn't prepared his assignment and is little apt to catch up later. But what he loses by not attending
the recitation or lecture far overbalances the censure he might have received for the unprepared assignment.
Cutting is a habit. Like most other habits, it can be broken with a little personal, persistent effort.
Ford may put a car together in six minutes, but it only takes one minute for it to fall apart.
BACK TO NORMALCY
It has not been very many years since the boy as portrayed by Briggs was in his prime. In those good old days, all boys wore patched trousers and carried at least one big toie on a sling. Boys lived for the joy to be got out of life and for nothing else. Girls were to be shunned as was a "lickin'"
Then came the war, and a great change was noticed in the youth of the country. The young man of twelve without at least one girl was an old creature indeed. Everybody wore shoes in the summer time, and it was good form to talk intellectually at all times. The boy who played was shunned by his fellows as a thoughtless scamp. It cost as much to cloth a boy as it did a grown person.
Jazz and movies were one of the causes. The automobile carc in for a good second. What was the use of playing when there was so much excitement in the air? Big wages turned many of the young boys into money makers. And when the enthusiasm of war and the big wages died out, boys again found themselves with plenty of time on their hands. They have taken up their games again. Tom Sawyers and Huck Fins are once more prowling around the streets. Gone is the wise prodigy of three years ago. Boys have gone back to normality.
It is reported that an advertising convention is to be held in Switzerland. and the tip of the Matterhorn will soon read "Eat Baker's Bread."
TO LIVE FOREVER
Perhaps one of the greatest combinations of engineering and sculpturing which has ever been attempted is in the present feat which Gutzon lorgium, scutator has conceived and accomplished.
A mountain near Atlanta, Georgia which has defied the efforts of engineers to blast away its sides that
they might use its materials for buildings is being conquered today. The mountain will picture to the world Berglund's great Civil War memorial. The memorial will be a monument depicting the South's Civil War patriots, troops and cavalrymen passin in review before the leaders of the "Lost cause."
The cliff on which this is pictured is 700 feet high and the line of troops more than 800 feet long. Significant of the proportions of the monument is the caving of General Lee whose picture will be approximately 140 feet from the top of his hat to the bottom of his horse's hoofs. A man standing on the general's shoulder would need a step ladder to whisper in his ear. The entire frize will cover 200,000 square feet and will take seven years for completion.
At The Theater
(By Ted Wear)
The Lawrence Drama League put on a good program of short plays last night in the Little Theater, and they were well received. The League seems to be a growing organization with a competitive competition in aoomateur theatricals
The first play, "The Maker of Dreams," was a fantasy. The League was fortunate in the casting of the character, Marissa, as a Pierrot who coined sing and dance, and a manufacturer who had wonderful sympathy for the character. Berenice Lelaney gave a fine interpretation of Pierretta, able to舞 gracefully when occasion demanded it. She played the character. Her reading of poetic verse in one place was a little weak. Waltier Whitlock as Pierretta has a fine voice and a realisely delightful enunciation, although his stage actions might be a little freer and more expressive, but played by J. Stanley Pemmel was a human and lovable character. Pemmel's voice-work was the best that

he has done this year, and he was always in character.
The second play, "Spreading the News," an Irish dialect play, which has always seemed a bit too difficult for amateur production and not quite interesting or plausible enough to be taken seriously, even as comedy. But the Drama League made a good attempt at this difficult task
B. A. Gikinson probably had the best Irish dialect of the cast, and seemed to feel his part. Mrs. B. H Gragg was very enjoyable as the deaf apple woman, a very difficult part, and in her semi-solloy scene, held her audience and made them laugh.
Miss Hume was weak at the start but continued to improve as the performance went on. E. P. Learned had too small a part to show what he can really do, but he seems to be much better. He had a fine voice but a small part. Arch Oliver was good as the visiting magistrate.
