The Daily Koman atom aims to picture the future of the University. Koman is to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of academic freedom; to be clean; to be cheerful; to meek and more serious problems to younger hands; in all to widen the reach and ability of the University.
FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 16. 1923
The rosy path to knowledge is often lost by a detour on the Forto-Fort highway.
MR. HIGH SCHOOL EDITOP
This is a bit of shop talk with our three hundred visitors. Hillmills will please adjust the green eye shade on the worried brow of study or finance, or at least assimilate the same, and let our high school brothers to the Fourth Estate crowd in.
The Kanaan as the representative of Varsity tale typists extends its left hand column for a "shake" and nods all seven heads in a "glad-to-meet-you" style.
You know your welcome. You know why you are convening here. From your discussions and round tables you will take back new ideas and methods to your own office and column. The Kansas leaves that to the department.
The Kunan desires, in addition to results of conference, that you take back with you the realization that if you graduate University and that it
this is your 'UNIVERSITY,' so it is as much yours as its names, who are here, to tell you what universities, your communities, that this is yours and these, a great KANSTA institution, waiting for you to make the most of its advantages.
We are aboot to leave and you are about to enter. But we will be "oids grade" together. Some of you will edit and manage this paper. Some of you will wear the Crimson or the Blue Jersey and the "K." Some will fall by the wayside and "policies." Many of you will step into activity, association or organization shoes, and most of you will walk the fertile paths of knowledge over the concrete walks to West Ad.
To whatever you expect to bend your efforts, we want you to imbibe the great Kansas spirit that daily stalks the Missouri Valley—that spirit that has humbled worthy foes in the production of outstanding men in its alumni, the spirit of scholastic attainment, and the old fighting bird of the field of sport.
Kansas is calling on you.
That student grave robber was probably hunting for his last year's chemistry lectures.
HIDDEN BY SMOKE SCREEN
Like a cyclone sweeping the land, ever gaining in velocity, the storm of粗 pries arise, growing as it speeds from mouth to mouth, and "filling the public ear with a thousand tales."
Imaginative humanity is prone to exaggerate. Such persons, with no malicious intent perhaps, blew up smoke screens in connection with the "Nebraks Special" affair, obscuring the truth for a time.
Rumor had it that some students were drinking, though not drunk, on the trip; that the University had spies along; that the drunkenness was the fault of the University, or of the down-town people; that everybody was going to be thrown out of school, or that nothing was to be done; that the matter would be dropped because of the unfavorable advertising for the University that might go out over the state; and that the students would not tell on each other—all of these smoke screens disappeared before the piercing rays of truth.
To speak of "Rumor" as a "Dame"
coattains unfairness to women, for men are of equal guilt. Dark street corners, firesides, pool halls—all are breeding places of stories that injure men's reputations.
Gossip originated in Eden, prevailed on the earth ever since, and perhaps always will prevail. Therefore students are charged with a double duty particularly when concerning student misconduct that may be aggravated to the detriment of the University.
We wonder if the "principle" speaker who is to address the Press Club banquet will discuss ethics of journalism or will he, too, discuss the League?
THESE ARE THE TIMES
These are the times that try students' apptites. With Thanksgiving scarcely two weeks off, and Christmas little more than a month away, visions of fried chicken, home-grown fruits and vegetables and other attributes of mothers' cooking begin to cause absentmindedness, loss of sleep and improper nourishment.
Roast beef, roast pork, chili and hamburgers are endured uncompromisingly, because of that glorious day to come, when we can shave our feet under mother's table again, instead of tapping them restlessly on the piece of pipe that runs the length of the beneyer counter.
A morning of hunting along the creek and through fields of stubble and across pastures; then a dinner of rabbit and squirrel, with all the old-fashioned, country "sides" and hot mince pie; and then a pipe and an argument with Shep and kid brother as to the advisability of another hunt for the afternoon. Is man not then in his seventh 'beaven?
Now that the Ku Klux Klan has become a dead issue, they are beginning to talk about it at sociology clubs and in Sunday school classes.
THE YOUNG BRAIN
BLANKET
These freshman caps! They are the most universal of all first year insignin. In nearly every college, freshwater and coastal, the young brain blanket will be found adorning the incoming products of the high schools.
What's the use of it? In the older institutions the use of it all is a matter of course. There is a perfect agreement between the upper classmen and the fresh on one point—that the caps are all right. But there is always a day of liberation and celebration for the first year collegians It is a time of strife and merriment. At Kansas the cap is evident—very. And the freshmen seem to find its adornment irksome—very. The day of liberation is at hand—speaking in heavy phrases. But the right to move among men next spring in the regular headress of the average male has to be earned.
The Olympics at Kansas were instituted as a means by which the cap might be lawfully discarded. And now the old practice sentence for typewriting has a chance for action—"Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of the party."
Sophomores have been meeting and organizing for the Olympics for the last week or two. The freshmen are preparing for the contests. The chairman of the day has outlined the program in a manner which promises live action during all the morning. Now is the time for the University to become interested and give this, which is one of our best yearly events, a boost. Everyone from the hill should be present at the stadium Thanksgiving morning, for the contests will be over in time for the church services.
Ed "Strangler" Lewis has taken up a new phase of the fighting game, the wedlock.
--there will be an all-University convention and rally in Robinson
Gymnastium at 2:30 Monday, November 19th. All 23 classes dismissed.
WANTED: A GREAT MAN
"A really great man is the grand est object which this world ever exhibits. The heavens in their magnificence—the ocean in its sublime immensity—mountains standing firm upon their granite foundations—all are less imposing than a living man

On Other Hills
Our army holds all the best of the world's records in flying and has repeatedly broken its own high marks. The men in the aviation branches of the service are laboring under great handicaps of poor equipment and small appropriations, and yet they continue to keep the standards high and increase the possibilities of that means of transportation.
The freshmen at Manhattan recently uphold the Aggie tradition that once every fall they should break away from the inti-campus café path and bodily blaze their way to the numerals 127 fougally bearing the numerals 127 fougarly in the faces of the sophomores one morning lately. The freshmen had done their work well. The polley rope was tied around the pole, and between the rope and ground was a slimy layer of grease and lard.
The regular payroll will be open for signature until noon of Monday,
November 19th.
Aviation in this country has brought pleas from the army and navy for support for their branches of that service. Designers and manufacturers of airplanes have tried to create a public interest in flying other than the spectacular part of it. The public comments upon recent achievements and says nothing more.
The need for national air protection has been shown and the means of getting it have been proposed. Like the words in the old popular song, "nobody seems to care."
The irregular payroll will be ready for signature November 17th, and will be held open until noon of the 22nd.

in the possession of his highest faculties."—Hilliard on Webster in 1854.
Also on Thursday, November 22nd, at 10 a. m., a conversation is called in Robinson Gymnasmium, to hear Mr. CONRAD HOFFMAN, formerly Secretary of the University of Kansas Y. M. C. A., at present Director of European Student Relief.
tic."—Hillard on Webster in 1854. The world still builds its thoughts upon a tower of Babel, its diplomacy seems a net work of righted wrongs and wronged rights. Race draws blood of race; nation kills nation; rights hate rights. Humanity is yet half barbaric.
We plant worship against worship.
We still have "foreign" thought and
"foreign" views. We stake business
against business. We speak of the
"Old" world and the "New."
We build "our" defenses against "their" defenses. We have a melting pot instead of a welding thought for nations. The earth is jumble of boundary lines—a Babel of thought, action and vision. Each of us is singing "I love me." Humanity has not conceived Humanity.
The school of Engineering at the University of Kansas is recognized as being thoroughly capable. This state is considered to be one of the most progressive in the union Wouldn't it be altogether fitting and feasible for a course in aviation engineering to be offered here? There is a distinct need for instruction in such a field and there would result from it a stimulation of the public's interest in one of our greatest protective and commercial forces.
And we are looking for a great man.
Future problems are supposed to be the things for which colleges prepare the students. Aviation should have some attention from our schools of engineering. In many of the largest institutions in the country there are departments and courses in aviation engineering. Michigan has one of the largest of such courses and Detroit University, a sectarian school, although small, is offering instruction in aviation.
For a while it looked as if there was a rat in the Hohenzollern wood-pile.

The College of Emporia has inaugurated a contest to select a name for the College football team. Other Kansas Conference teams have distinctive names such as the Baker "Wildcats," and the Southwestern "Moundbuilders." But the College of Emporia team never has had a name.
Plans for beautifying and enlarging the Aggie campus are being made by the horticultural department. An elaborate flower garden will be planted near the president's home.
Feminine debaters are becoming quite the ruse. Wellesley challenged Harvard to a debate, and even set the date. Vassar also is anxious to repeat last year's program and debate the freshman, however, demand a debate with a team from the college at large.
A petition is being circulated at the University of Denver asking that the Christmas vacation scheduled for

Dec. 22 to Jan. 7 be changed to occur one week earlier, Dec. 14 to Jan. 2.
A classic of fiction——
Now a film epic.
See it!
Get a thrill and throb!
The reason for the desired change is that under the present dates, students will be deprived of the privilege of earning vacation money, as most of the Christmas rush work requiring extra help is needed before Christmas, rather than the week following.
