THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Official student paper of the University of EDITORS EDITOR Editor-in-Chief Helen Haen Campus Editor Helen Jaks News Editor Mary Wynn Mary Wynn Lee Leroy Business Manager Dorothy Dillawan Ruth Carter Caroline Hankerdor Lauca Cowrey Mary Lois Ropeschin Frances Edna Wright Henry Gottfried Virginia Gorsuch Ruth Hill Mildred Corrine Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones - K. U. 25 and 66 The Daily Karen aims to picture the undergraduate life of the children she works with. We nearly spring into the news by standing for the idle girls who are not living their lives; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be compassionate; to leave home all to serve to the best of its ability to serve to the best of its ability. WEDNESDAY, DEC. 12, 1925 MCINTYRE, MEXICO AND Los Asnos is the Spanish word for donkeys. That is what the Mexicans call tenderef from New York who come there to show them how to punch cows, make chill con carne, or kill wild goats. O. O. McIntyre, brilliant writer of adept paragraphs about New York life, in search of a new field made a trip to the southern part of the United States and Mexico for a few days to get material for stories. Mr. McIntyre knows his "stuff" about New York, people say, but he doesn't know his "Mexico." Readers like his stories because they are a genuine picture of New York life in a new vein. But, the native sometimes smile under their mushtaches when they read that their homes are all like the abandoned freight car one sees from a Pull man window. Even a freshman in a rhetorical class at the University knows better than to write a composition about Mexico unless he has an intimate acquaintance with the community, and he knows that this cannot be acquired in two days, or in two weeks. He wouldn't be content with information afforded by railroad circulars, and by a few minutes conversation with a hotel clerk. Perhaps the reason for President Coolidge's brevity in speaking is that he has never had the experience of being a member of Congress. INTELLIGENT VOTING With national election day drawing near, it is the duty of every University student to add the daily newspapers to his list of text books and references, in order that he may thoroughly acquaint himself with the issues of the coming campaign. It is a deplorable fact that many University students do not read the papers, except to scan the sport page, the cartoons, and perhaps one or two other departments in which they are especially interested. They frankly admit that they know little or nothing about national or international affairs. The student is undoubtedly buzzy, and perhaps his political lethargy is in a measure, excusable at some times, but it is not excusable at election time when he has an opportunity to cast his vote for or against those issues which will benefit or harm the United States. It is not sufficient that the voter know whether he votes with the Republicans or the Democrats, but, he should know why he votes that way. The ability to vote with discrimination and sound judgment cannot be developed over night; it can only be cultivated through an extensive study and understanding of what has been happening in national circles, and what principles and policies each candidate for office will uphold. Some people go to college for an education and others just go to college. INSIDE RADIO Two successful attempts at escape have resulted in the freedom of seventeen prisoners from the state penitentiary at Lansing. People of the state are wondering if such escapes are made possible by the inefficiency of the prison officials. The governor has been charged with a weak administration the penitentiary, and it is be ginning to look as if that were true. The guards appear surprised at the unrest that exists among the 1200 prisoners. "Inside radio," they say, has started the drive for free dom. Prison guards have a big duty to perform in the quieting of this unrest. They are the protectors of the people of the state, and if through their inefficiency dangerous criminals escape, they have committed a crime against society. The former Lady Diana Manners, now Mrs. Duff Cooper, has revealed that the use of ice is the secret of her beauty. That's hot stuff for the proprietor of a beauty parlor. REING BUSY The man who is the busiest seems to get his work done more efficiently than he who has lots of time in which to do it. Consider the presidents of great corporations throughout the country's business world, or the men who stand high in legal and medical professions. They are the men who are the most sought after, and they are the men who are the hardest to get. Now just consider the people who stand out most prominently on the campus. Are they not the ones who are accomplishing the greatest amount of work both in the classroom and in campus organizations? But not every student who is under the impression that he is working hard and has no time to spend is really working. Very often his time is merely badly arranged by condensing and rearranging many students have learned that they can do more work, and at the same time have more leisure. That is real efficiency, and the person who can do this will be one of the real leaders in the future. An advertisement for soothing syrup announces "cutting teeth made easy." How greatly the sales of this commodity would rise if the advertisement was made to read: "cutting chases made easy." At The Concert By DOROTHY DILLAWAY Deane Taylor spoke truly when he said Mille, Renee Chenet has a great sweep of tone and lyric levelness of tone calling only for superlatives. One cannot speak adversely of her remarkable technique, reality, and warmth of tone quality which was so admired by the audience who heard the concert given by the famous French violinist. The personality of Mile. Chemet was rather striking in itself and her appearance and poise were noticeably pleasant. Mile. Chemet's violin, which formerly belonged to Maude Powell, arrived a great deal of indulgence from home when violinist autographed the programs of many admirers. Renée Chemet graciously acknowledged the credit due Waldemar Lanchowsky, her accompanist, whose deep sympathy and beautiful touch assisted her in making a splendid impression. There is no doubt however that she occupies a high place in the roll of noted artists. Her playing is perfect, with her grace, poise, and her personality is charming. The Slavonic dance by Dvorak Kreisler and the last encore, one of Chopin's Nocturnes, were most appreciated by the audience. The difficult scores in many of the numbers on the program were so easily accomodated that at moments her playing seemed almost mechanical. Enthusiastic movements are or foot for an athletic stadium at the University of Texas. The idea has spread rapidly throughout the state and is now being encouraged for the completion of a new stadium by Thanksgiving, 1924. On Other Hills The greased-pig chase as a between half stunt at the Northwest Thanksgiving game was substituted this year with a freshman shootout as a result of objectives to stay from the Chicago Humans Society.
