Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY OF KANASAS Lawrence, Kansas, Phones, K. U. 25 and 66
The Daily Kaman aims to picture the life of a student in the Kanaka; to go further than mere printing the news by sending it to the public; and play no favors; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to solve more serious problems to water hands; in all to serve to the best of its ability the people.
The University of Kansas has set a new precedent in the western college world by its open dealing with recent affairs concerning law violation by its students. The University wishes to handle its affairs independent of outside aid and as yet remains undaunted.
THIRTEEN MEN
Some K. U. women are rejoicing ever the cold weather. Fur couts are here and they do make such soft pillows in 8:30 classes.
Through the co-operation of students and student organizations having members on the trip thirteen men confessed misconduct on the trip to the football game at Nebraska after thorough investigation by the University authorities. During the entire affair the co-operation of fraternity and non-fraternity men was excellent.
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1923
Although perhaps as many more were guilty of wrongful acts in the same degree as the thirteen men, the results attained speak well for the class of students who attend K. U, and their frankness in admitting a slip of conduct and willingness to take punishment for the greater good of the institution. Those who lacked either the courage or the honesty to join the thirteen may well be left to their own consciences and the contempt of their fellows. They may still play the man in the few days remaining before the matter is closed.
Last Saturday the thirteen men were brought before a truly representative group of ten students who were on the trip for hearing statements of their cases, and were graded according to their guilt in the degrees of light, medium and heavy. The men under inquiry said that the committee was reasonable and decided justly. One man who was not suspected, voluntarily came forward to acknowledge that his actions on the trip might reflect unfavourability against the University and put himself in the hands of the committee. His case was looked into and he was exonerated.
On future trips, and whenever the University is before the public eye, it will be the duty of students to prohibit their brothers, classmates, and alumni from degrading the reputation of Kansas. That this should be accomplished, by student public opinion and not by chaperonage, is the verdict of the officers of administration and the students themselves.
The case is now awaiting the return of Chancellor Lindley for final decision as to punishment. The men have confidence that whatever chastisement is inflicted will be for the best interest of the school and themselves.
"Bands for the hair are going out of style," says a newspaper story. The newspaper this fall also announced the exodus of bobbed hair.
WHAT NOBODY KNOWS
Nobody knows how the European situation will end. Nobody knows whether the work of Blimark will go down in the dissolution of Germany.
Nobody knows what will be the result of the Oklahoma fall, nor the developments from the various presidential booms. Nobody knows even the winner of the Missouri Valley football conference.
But everybody knows that it is November, that quiz week is over, that the best games of the entire season are on the way, and that life right now in this particular spot does
not need any specific worrying about.
So nobody is particularly alarmed about what nobody knows.
Reports of timber shortage may sound good to the freshmen. But never mind; they'll find something else of which to make paddles.
NOW YOUR YEARBOOK
NOW YOUR TEACHOB
The proposition of making the 1924 Jayhawk the most successful in the history of the University is before the student body. For that success the managers have established a number of deadlines. One of these will be history day after tomorrow.
Seniors and juniors owe the managers their support because they elected them last spring, and because this is the last chance they have to publish a yearbook; they owe to their friends that their photos appear in the book; and owe to themselves a tangible momento in the form of a pleasing record of 1923-24.
Sophomores are obligated with assistance because next year the problem of publishing the book will be theirs, and the committee on eligibility will not permit a candidate to run in the election who has not shown his merit on this year's Jayhawker. Freshmen should have experience for a future annual will be their question. Come to the Jayhawker office. Offer to lick stamps, chase ads, mount photographs, write copy, sell books, and sign up for your own Jayhawker now. Let's beat Mizzo in literary as well as athletic contests.
Noither the rapier of the French grenander nor the stillette of the Spanish fighter is sharper than the malice of the gossiper's tongue.
THOSE EMPTY SEATS
Every morning after our nocturnal foragings after knowledge, as we mighty Jayhawks laboriously climb the heights to our famous nest that we may give account of ourselves, our follows pass us in great numbers, driving automobiles, many of which contain empty seats.
And why those empty seats? When a fellow is sure to be late to class despite his franticle struggling up the Hill and giving him a lift is his only chance for salvation, why can't we arl loose and give him that lift?
Kansas City's recently established school for violators of automobile driving ordinances suggests compulsory Sunday School attendance for murderers.
SCHOOL SONGS
In the editorial columns of several recent issues of the Daily Nebraska, the University of Kansas has been cited as a school that gives courage to her athletic team through cheering, and the students of Nebraska are urged to follow the example of the Kansans and learn their school songs. Two new songs have recently been composed for the University of Kansas. These are to be sung at the Missouri game. It is the duty of every student of the University to learn the words of these songs. If the University has established a reputation for good cheering, the Thanksgiving game will afford an opportunity to demonstrate it.
"Modern"-a small word, and harmless enough in appearance, but it has come to have a surprisingly unpleasant composition. Call a book, a play, a painting, or an individual modern, and you seem, in some subtle way, to be condemning it.
THE HORRIBLE MODERN
Headline in the Kansas City Star:
"Sun After Rain Tonight." That's worth staying up to see.
In a way, this seems a rather harsh way of looking at the present. Everything has to be modern sometime, of course, and the fact that it is now passing through that stage, should not in itself seem to justify sweeping condemnation. Modernity may seem a little strange, irregular perhaps, and not altogether pleasant, but it is an established and apparently irreovable fact. Since the public cannot abolish that which is modern, it might as well, it seems, bear with it as patiently as possible. Time will help it.

Campus Opinion
To the Daily Kansan:
It seems to me that the Memorita Drive has driven on past, bandwagon and all, leaving the Stadium and Union buildings castles of the air, with five Armistice Days already chalked up.
The Trysing Place" by Booth
Tarkington, was of a lighter nature,
and succeeded in drawing many
laughs from the audience. The play
itself was a typical Tarkinton affair,
with its charm and its successful man-
ner by an adnoyable cast.
Would it be insubordinate or presumptive on my part to suggest that we ask the Hill newcomers to drop by and have a chat with Ms. Hapshe the Memorial corporation has some potent plans pending, but as one undergraduate who would like to see the Kansas dream come true, I would put the new ones in our midst.
At The Theater
D. A. H.
By Ted Wear
An appreciative audience witnesses the first series of one-act plays which the Lawrence Drama League prepares for, with the purpose of Memorial High School auditorium. The primary purpose of these plays was to acquaint the people with what the League was doing and to increase the membership, interesting them and providing education.
The first play, "The Old Lady Show Her Medals" by Sir James M. Barrie, a semi-tragic story of a poor woman who wanted to do her part in the war by keeping up the morale, sending a son to fight for England.
The rest of the characters were almost of equal excellence in their contributions to the tone and atmosphere of the play. Character-acting was the biggest part of the play, and they used this touch to themselves to make each part stand out as a distinct part of the unified whole.
Laura Ballou was very good in the part of the sister of the Tarkington boy. She played her part with consistency and her voice was clear and distinct. The male lead was taken by W. E. Culver, and he seems well suited to play Tarkington parts of the adolescent youth.
Mrs. J. W. O'Bryan took the leading part and a more sincere and whole-hearted interpretation of the character of the charwoman could be seen in her appearance norismas put into the character were very effective and not at all trite.
EMILY ERICSSON.
The rest of the cast was good and handled the farce in fine style. Theorede Charlton continues to be the best of the older character as he has mastered it, result of his practical stage experience in everything he does in his character parts. Great credit is due to the coaches of these plays for their fine work in handling the farce. Myrtle Bair coached the first play und Mrs. A. J. Mix the second.
On the whole the plays went over in great style and to mention all the persons who were good in their parts and in their writing of the casts in their entirety.

As change takes place or the business expands, these assistant executives inherit or grow into higher executive and administrative positions. This is the history of practically every big organization. The executives of today are the assistant executives of yesterday—the stenographers, bookkeepers, etc. We will organize a class of future executives next week.
