Phone—K. U., 25 and 66
The Daily KOMAR aims to picture the life of a young man, so he can learn more than merely grafting the words by standing (or the ideas they represent), to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be patient; to have more serious problems to wade through; to have more students to the abults of the students of the University.

OUR INFANT TRADITION
Again the students of the University will be offered an opportunity lend aid to the suffering and destitute students of Europe.
Again it is the moral duty of every one to do his share in making K. U.S. Friendship Christmas Gift this year as great or greater than ever before
An upperclassman can never forget the spirit of kindness and friendship that prevailed at the K. U Christmas Tree last year and the year before. And this year the students will have a chance to help make the spirit and success of Mr Orend's sweetest tradition.
Soon the time will be here ane everyone will be swept in body and soul, buying, selling, and talking Christmas candies on Mt. Oread.
UNIVERSITY PROPAGANDA
Word comes from Ireland that the farmers are forced to drown many young pigs because of the low market price. What will become of the old gag about the Irish pig in the earlier if such circumstances continue?
An advertisement for this University does three things; it obtains for the graduates a "standing" throughout the country; it gives the citizens of the state a realization of what their tax dollar is being used for; and above all, it stimulates in the minds of high school graduates a desire for higher learning.
The K. U. County Club organizations are among the best advertising mediums for spreading university propaganda. Publicity bureaus may send out copy by the mile for the use of state papers; registrars may send out little booklets explaining the curriculum and administrative officers may speak in every city, but the best word which can be said for K. U. comes from the lips of the Home Town student who has "been away to college."
Next week County Clubs are to be organized. Students will be given their chance to show their loyalty by helping to perfect an organization which will go out over the state and country during the holidays to spread the message of the University of Kansas.
A musical soul speaks in his language and calls "hobo day" just plain "rag time."
CLOWNS AND PALMS
Three fools with painted faces were awarded the academic palms by France this week in "recognition of their service in spreading good cheer."
Authors and artists, statesmen and scientists stood aside to make room in their midst for the three clowns whom France raises to a place of honor with her great.
France knows, perhaps, that tears are always pretty close to the surface of human-kind. She knows too, that laughter lurks far beneath the tears.
And so France, recognizing the art of the clown, who succeeds in producing smiles, bows to him and to his kind.
France knows that even a fool may be great.
"My kingdom for a nureu" has become passue. One enthusiastic rooter says that he gave his voice for a football game.
PEACE BY PUBLICITY
Senator Magnus Johnson says that "the world peace situation is one of the biggest of all problems at this time," and he believes that the only way to accomplish this is to "educate t into the people, everywhere."
Peace by war has failed, peace by the 1918 Versailles brand of open diplomacy has failed, peace by the 1921 Washington brand of open diplomacy has failed; peace by *publicity* has not been tried, says a written in the Editor and Publisher.
Through what other medium besides the daily newspaper can this be accomplished? With the ban of censorship raised, and the will of the American people broadcast throughout the world, then only, can international peace be realized and through any more "piece of paper."
The Yellow taxi is to invade London, and it is looked upon by the Londoner as "a yellow peril." But it would seem they have no reason to worry, for in the London fog no one can tell what color the taxis are any way.
VISIONS AND REALITY
Visions of a student union building at the University are soon to become a reality. The annual drive for funds has been completed and the results are far in advance of the expectations of the executive committee. A total of slightly over $30,000 was raised this year, which leaves but about $41,000 to be pledged.
The loyal support of the new students make it possible to break ground for the building next spring. At the same time it may be possible to begin the completion of the Stadium. With these two projects finished, the University of Kansas will have made a worthy advancement.
--plan was made in hopes of giving more opportunity for independent regular study for the student.
A sleepy student cannot reflect an author's views. Therefore, sleep, sleep, sleep—at night.
EVERY DAY ENGLISH
Important men in public life can talk and write correctly, tersely, clearly, and convincingly. Why is it? It didn't just happen so. They, early in life, realized that they wouldn't get far without the power to use language effectively. Successful expression and successful action are closely related.
Students, who have the advantages of books and instructors may well learn a lesson from these facts. People who are so clever in the expression of their thoughts, whatever those thoughts may be, are branded as bores. If one make mistakes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, and uses flat lifeless words, he is a dullard and a bore in the eyes of listeners and readers.
The fabulistic use of good English is an education in itself. Ideas are worth nothing unless the individual has the ability to set them forth in an interesting and convincing manner. Good English, both in recitations and quizzes, make a lasting impression on professors. The excuse "I know it but don't know how to say it" is the confession of a dub.
A youth in New York is to receive his freedom from the state reformatory on the strength of four prize winning essays which he wrote. A few prize essays might be the means of some students gaining their freedom from the University of Kamaas.

Nail File vs. the Puff
Whether it be in the ball room of the largest hotel in the largest city of this large country, or whether it be before an ice cream soda at a battered table in a small country with young and old—vigorously applying the powder puff and the lip stick Men may scuff but women pay no heed—they proceed to bolster up their facial epidermis whenever and wherever they choose.
But just let a man pull out a pocket knife or other weapon and start to dig the rich liam from behind. He's a bick, he'a boob, he'a rogue He's a bick, he'a boob, he'a rogue
—he's anything and everything that can pass the vocal chords. The women lead the outey and the men—poor, spineless creatures—humble submit and do their nail-cleaning job, without them, behind the harp, or elsewhere.
Therefore, I call upon the males of the nation to clean their nails in public henceforth. Let each one who calls himself a man pare his talons before the eyes of the world and be unafraid. If it is all right for women to put on a coat of powder, rouge and other rubbish over their skin, do it elsewhere—then surely it is no disgrace for one to remove dirt from a place where it is not supposed to C.

Students at the University of Toronto spent $55,000 for text books this year. This is an average of $12 each for the 4,800 students registered. Booksellers say over half the students buy used book.
Verne Lewellen, University of Nebraska football captain during the season which just ended, and pitcher on the Cornhusker varity baseball team, will take to professional baseball in the big leagues immediately following his graduation in June. Lewellen has accepted terms offered him by the Pittsburgh Pirates and will join this club in June.
Next year at Indiana State University the Memorial Stadium will be completed and will have a seating capacity of 22,000. Out of the ninety-five games played on the old field, seventy-five were victories.

Between the halves of the Northwestern and Iowa football game, a grassed pig was let loose and fourteen of the fastest freshmen that could be found pursued the animal. The team's assistanttainment furnished for the large number of alumni that were back for Homecoming.
According to records of football in the "Big Ten", or western conference, the University of Chicago has the highest standing of any team during the past ten years. The Chicago eleven have won thirty-eight, one of only three teams since games, giving them a percentage of .691. Ohio State stands second with .558 and the University of Michigan third with .653.

Learn to Dance
Some of the boys and girls gained the mistaken idea that we were knocking the dancing on the hill. Well, we weren't. We were trying in our poor condition and not destructive criticism—and really we all know that most of us can be improved upon.

NAUGHT CAN COMPARE WITH GIFTS TO WEAR"

WITH APOLLORE TO ROBERT BURNS
Christmas Presents From Any Woman TO ANY MAN That Will Reflect Her Intelligence, Instead Of Reflecting Upon It, And That Will Arouse Pleasure In The Gift And Pride In The Giver
ILVERED 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, tawdy 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 Shopping here and there won't be any "Christmas Swapping" by-and-by.
Our sales-staff, familiar through long experience with the likes and dislikes of men, will be honored to have the opportunity either to sugar Appropriate Gifts to you or select a particular product. For details, contact an willing and courteous staff, with no pressure to purchase
