Phonem, K. U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kanan aims to picture the undergraduate student in a third way, further than merely providing the news by standing for the student's needs; to be claimant; to be cheerful; to be supportive; to be sensitive; to be sensitive to the many issues facing students; in all to serve to the best of its ability the students. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 14, 1923 What chance has Calvin Coolidge of being our next president? He confesses to being only a lukewarm baseball fan, and we have yet to see a picture of him on the links. DREAMS THAT COME TRUE The Stadium stands today, the realization of a dream of those far-sighted men and women who sought to perpetuate in a fitting way the memory of the 128 men and women of K. U. who died in the Great War. The Stadium an assured thing, the Union building comes next, a sister project, and as vital in the social and student life of the University as is the Stadium in its athletic life. Students today who in their freshmen years saw the inauguration of the initial memorial drive, are reaping the benefits of their pledges. In like manner will the freshman of the present class reap the benefit of the Union building which their pledges will help to build. Pledging to the Stadium-Union fund is a University matter in that it is an expression of loyalty to the Alma Mater. It is a personal matter in that it is a manifestation of duty clearly seen and work well done. Steps have been taken to unite the national bodies of the Congregational and Presbyterian churches. Let's hope they get a name for the combination that is easy to spell and pronounce. FROM THE SIDELINES Forsooth, it is no laughing matter, this sacrificing of the dignity and silence of the library to one's innate craving for conversation, but to the third party in the dispute, if there be such—the whole squabble contains much that is amusing. The leisurely fellow who occasionally finds a few moments to rest his eyes from the stack of collateral readings, to turn to the most fascinating and intricate study of all, the science of human nature, to him there comes many an opportunity to laugh. To his eye the offenders resolve themselves into several classes: some really want to keep stil, but who just can't keep from giggling, because somebody else is just so funny; others don't care much—this is free America. you know, and besides, everybody else is doing it. A third class deliberately holds round table discussions of things in general for the benefit of the sleek-haired Romeo or the permanent-waved Juliet who shows promise of a possible date, simply to enjoy life at every possible moment, or for the benefit of the snowier who is trying to study on the other side of the table. The several ways in which the offended "register" their hurt are also amusing and interesting. Some pull down the eyebrows and growl in a sinister manner while showing the teeth and shooting X-rays from the eyes, in the wild hope that the disturbers will flee in terror. Others bear it as stolically as they may until the spirit moves them to bawl out the offenders or move to more quiet places for concentration. Still others bear it all quietly, and wear the expressions of martys, content to tortured complacently by the crude, unfeeling herd. And the leisurely fellow smiles and resumes his collateral readings. Scientists Will Try to Teach Young Apes to Talk—Headline. Now we'll hear the ape's side on this question of evolution. PAPINI, A BUNDLE OF CON TRADICTIONS "America was responsible for the World War," says Giovanni Papini in a recent interview. He is the author of "The Life of Christ," one of the most widely discussed and read books in America this year. To an American, Papini seems to be a bundle of contradictions. It is difficult to comprehend a nature such as this Italian "Barbarian," as he calls himself, seems to possess. That one man could be so inspired as to write such a book as "The Life of Christ," and at the same time think and live and write like "the savage that I feel myself" is hard to adjust to American standards. He bases his accusations of America on the belief that she is the pacemaker of her world. Granting this belief to be true, as are many of his accusations, still he seems to be shirking the responsibility of his own European nations, by seeing the "note in his brother's eye." The pacemaker is not responsible for those who fail to keep up the pace. If Papini thinks the world can go back to the simple life, rather than retain the modern civilization which he hates, he is doomed to more dissatisfaction and disappointment. Life is progressive, not retrogressive. If the simple life is desirable, then the modern world which Papini thinks is all wrong must grow into it, and not hope to attain it by a process of sledge-hammer criticism and destruction which will mean loss of the good as well as the facility, and defeat its ultimate purpose. "There are no fans in hell"—Arabian proverb. What a — of a place to try to produce a winning football team! SPEED Students in cars speeding madly around corners; students on foot hurryting along the walks. Students in the morning rushing to their first hour classes; students scurrying between buildings to other classes; students dashing off the hill after classes; to other activities. And to the south, in all its autumn splender, lies the Wakara valley, quietly waiting for the arsist's eye to see. We anticipate a pathetic story about the poor working girl who just discovered that she inherited twenty million Russian rubles in 1914. COMING JOURNALISTS Within a few days, the journalists of the high schools of Kansas will be here again. To each person at K. U. their visit should be of high importance; they are the representatives of the schools from which will come the Jayhawks of the future; they will be the future guiders and moulders of the omnipotent public opinion of this nation. Their stay on the Hill should make of them bocaters and disseminators of publicity for K. U.; it should give their inspiration, high ideals and determination to train themselves for the life, work they have chosen—that of leading the thoughts of men. "Detective Bags Four Criminals"— Headline. Even the criminals are deteriorating. It used to be the criminals who did the bagging. A past makes a present more interesting, but a future less inviting AS TO SIGNATURES AS TO SIGNATURE including has arisen largely among the contributors to the Campus Opinion column, concerning the publishing of their signatures. Following a custom set by a majority of the newspapers in this country, many years has been publishing only the initials of the contributor or some assumed name such as "A Student". "One Who Is Interested" or the like, will be printed with a full name be printed. The Kanan accepts no communications, however, unless the full name of the contributor is enclosed as an evidence of the writer's sincerity. Any contributor whose name is printed in full by her remounting. The Editor-in-Chief.

No. 51 On Other Hills Improper conduct on the part of Texas University students during trips is planned to be done away with in the future by instilling a sense of responsibility in the students. Freshmen girls, for the first time in the history of the University of Nebraska, will wear a sign of recognition. 'Green buttons, bearing the number "27" will be worn by all freshmen girls. *The University of Nebraska is in favor of sophomore pledging by fraternities and is only waiting for the establishment of freshman dormitories to carry on an active campaign in this direction. There is an annual event among all valley schools in favor of sophomore pledging. The Pacific Intercollegiate Press Association and the Pacific Student Presidents' Association convened last week at Los Angeles with the University of Southern California as host. The Press Association was formed to enable coastal universities to have access to schools and the Presidents' Association to help solve the problems of Pacific coast schools. A committee of faculty members and students was called Thursday for the purpose of making the students feel responsible for their conduct on trips. The things committed to them were the out-of-town dances and drunkenness after the football games. The official program for the Rugby Football League has not been officially announced yet, but it has taken form for granted by the followers of the sport in Australia and that spring. Fifteen or sixteen matches will be played in Australia and eleven or twelve in New Zealand. Learn to Dance Two instructors to one punit.
