The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduate students in a place to go further than merely printing the news by staging it on paper and juxtaposing it with websites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be smart; to be more serious problems to student heads; to solve more problems; to ability the students of the University.

A DOG'S LIFE
Judging from the freight rates, the new railway war cry seems to be, "Our rolling stock gathers no loss."
"A dog's life!" Every day this expression is heard on the campus by some complaining student, who finds the drudgery of lessons, and social or school activities to much for his weary soul and body.
How much meaning that one small expression carries and yet after careful analysis, why should it mean such a despondent state of affairs? Translated literally, it might mean:
Carefree dogs playing about the campus, chasing a rabbit once in a while; sometimes half hearted with every appearance of nonchance, sometimes as if heart and soul were set upon its capture—just as that particular dog's mood happens to guide him.
Perhaps a wild goose chase to work off youthful energy, returning to stretch lailly and comfortably in the November sun for a nap. And as the afternoon grows later, cooler, her wanderings home in time to romp with boys, finds a good meal, and seeks a comfortable bed.
No lessons, no exams, no worries— a dog's life!
"Jokes Aid Ford" reads a headline. Wonder if his friends will sue the paper for slander?
PROGRESS AND RECORDS
PROGRESS AND RECORDS
In the Smithsonian Institute in Washington hangs the first crud eaeplane that for months was the joke of a nation. A few years ago, the inventors anxiously "turned over" the engine and the crowd stood spellbound while the machine glided through the air for a few minutes. Today, this plane looks crude and unfinished.
Now comes the news that the United States Army, next year, will strive to fly successfully a plane around the world. Little doubt is expressed but that the experiment will succeed. The trip is planned to take two months. This is not the fastest time of getting around the globe, but it will mark the beginning of a transportation system which will soon leave all rivals in the shade, as far as speed is concerned.
The route carries the aviators from the coldest regions of Greenland down into the sultry heat of India, and back north again over the barren waste of Siberia. No other means of transportation can ever duplicate this route. The flight of Sir Ross Smith from London to Australia will look trifling in comparison with this feast.
Many will disprove the of waste of money and possible lives to accomplish this purpose. Some will may it is done just to establish another record, but people of this kind were the ones who laughed at the Wright brothers. The money is not wasted. It is the cost which is imposed upon man when he tries to adapt himself to new conditions. If any lives are sacrificed, they will be in vain; for a toll is placed on all progressive movements of mankind. The only solution to famine and suffering is a better transportation system. It will do much to remove stricken districts from isolation. When the army attempts to fly around the globe next summer, every person in America should lend their encouragement to the pioneers.
At leas, the newly instituted order of Samsons will insure the Jayhawzer football team the hearty support of all Lawrence barbers, and shaving soap dealers.
CRYING FOR CANDY
CRYING FOR CANDY
Hundreds of children in America are crying for candy. Thousands of children in Europe are crying for bread. American youth dances and sings for entertainment. European youth dances and sings in an attempt to forget hunger and cold. Americans discuss the alleged corruption of youth. Europeans discuss and agree that the youth of the nations is to be their salvation.
Does the United States realize that this is a challenge?
With the continuance of the long skirt in vogue for women they have been forced to wear plaid hose of noticeable shades.
COLLEGE SPIRIT
"Merely to find one'self a passive member of a group is not enough. The member of the college who does not participate actively in its affairs remains冷, aloof, unsympathetic—College spirit does not and cannot grow in such soil."
The above quotation from a prominent member of the faculty of a university strikes at the heart of the question of college loyalty. A man may be from a college, and not still be of that college. In other words, he may receive his degree at the end of his four-year course, but unless he has taken an active part in the life and activities of his alma mater he will be totally lacking in an appreciation of what a university can mean to the students who have contributed to its advancement.
As to names—a man named Bellows is president of a livestock expedition, with a Mr. Goodenough is chairman of a London bank.
TO THE UNITED STATES OR RUSSIA?
Old young men, hollow checked and with sunken eyes, are holding the burden of a chaotic Germany upon their shoulders. It is the youth of that country who is struggling to reestablish the government for the welfare of its people. This youth is found in the schools where the students are surviving on little less than nothing and expanding all their energies on the problems before them.
These men are so entangled with battres and prejudices that they are unable to find their way. Where they would find a solution they are blocked by innate hate that blinds them in their issues. However, they are realizing their difficulty and are turning to the United States for help. They are beseaching the United States to lend an ear to their troubles and to advise them.
If this country is enough awake to the challenge that the German youth is sending, immediate thought and energy from students here will be directed along those lines. But—if this country sleeps on oblivious of the cries for aid Germany will turn to Russia for a solution for her problems. For she is desperate.
The frequent hail of missises from the new library upon the journalism dug-out is causing some alarm among the pencil-penishers and typewriter-mentors. One senior journalist already advocates discarding the distinctive corduroy trousers in favor of a suit of armor.
The annual University fashion show will be given while the high school editors are in conference on the hill, that they may observe the correct costumes for wear at all campus occasions, and, when the time is ride, for them to enter this University, may appear properly gowned at all University occasions.
FASHION
A day on the hill, and attendance at a few campus functions is convincing proof that many "co-eds" were not high school editors.
"State to Sell 'Gas' Again," says a headline, but what chance has a more state while Congress continues to dispense it so freely?

"Women are organization mad.
"Twenty million at least, belong to some sort of club or society."
ADAM SAYS EVE DID IT
This headline appeared recently in the Kansas City Star. The article stated that twenty万 was probably a conservative estimate of the number of women who are in some sort of organization.
One man reported in a fraternity meeting that he had fifteen activities for the week. And this was not just a happen-so. He is more or less regular in his attendance at these meetings and conscientiously tries to take an interest in them.
"Oh, but he's an exception." True
But are women the only ones who have overdue the organization business? There is probably no department of American life more highly organized than the student body of a university; and it would also be a conservative estimate to say that the men's organizations here have a total membership of 3,000.
everyone doesn't go into the game so deeply, but practically every man on the campus is in some activity, and it is not at all uncommon to have a string of five or six organizations after the names in the Jayhawk.
Think over the men's organizations on the campus! Estimate would place the membership of various organizations as follows: Y. M. C. A. 150; Men's Student Council 15; K club 35; Ku Ku Klub 30; two inter-friendship councils 90; twenty-one social fraternities with an average membership of 40-840; twenty-six professional fraternities averaging 25-650; class fraternities 120; clubs and societies of men only 120; men in about twenty mixed clubs, boards, stags, 90; the Engineering societies 500; medical association 100; gce club 30; band 50; political fraternities 60; class officers 10. The total is about 3000. This does not include church, county, or boarding club organizations.
It is the old story of Adam saying Eve did it and Eve saying Adam did it. Intemperance in organizations may be a social evil, but it is common to both rexes.

"Better come down and let us diagnose your case," says a "Learn to Dance" ad. Huh, our case was diagnosed when we parked our pin at the I Cutta Pi house the other night.
Another dance ad asks, "How many of you have a good carriage on the dance floor?" Don't know. It's high and bright. Little flayer down on the street.
