MONDAY, NOVEMBER 12.1923
The Daily Kaman aims to picture the lives of our students. He goes to Kenya, to go further than merely printing the news by stopping for interviews with students; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious about water heads; in more serious ways, to ably assist the students of the University.
And now Washington declares the "U. S. is Loving Patience." Our diplomats have a horrible time. They have lost our debt and lost our patience. The first thing we know they will have lost all interest.
STUDENT PRAYER
The World Week of Prayer is being observed throughout all nations this week.
In correlation with this week of meditation and devotion, when students in universities and colleges are coming together for a short time each morning to worship, they are taking part in the International Friendship Week. They are banding themselves together to ask for strength and understanding from the Father of them all. They are making evidence of their realization of the need for help and guidance from the Omnipetent Power which never relinquishes his vigilance over them—his children.
Moverover, students are coming to know that prayers uttered when life looks roxy are as comforting and precious to one's being as when they are spoken in supplication at the time of trouble.
Thus, the Week of Prayer is the means students take amid the bustle of ever present affairs to stop, reflect and offer thanks for their multiple blessings.
The fellow who buys things and pays for them while he is wearing them out, usually wears out before he has paid for them.
Passive resistance in Germany could be offset by a period of more active resistance.
ON KANSAN KICKS
Editors have been hanged, burned and maimed. Newspaper offices have been wrecked, stormed and bled. In the back days of personal journalism there existed a standing open season on mallards, Mexicans and publishers. To be an editor was to be blackheaded, gang fought and daily beaten. Typographical errors called for fast fights and mistakes meant a feud. Editorializing carried with it pugilistic endearment.
But today opinion is exchanged without pitched battle. Rarely now is an editor bent to death. Seldom he is ever thrown into the street from his own office door. He is even often regarded as a gentleman citizen. This epoch finds him criticised, not palverized; suggested to, not black mailled.
Folks will write letters. "The paper wasn't there, last night on the front porch." "The facts were wrong in that story." "We aren't getting enough publicity." "That item went in too late." "I wanted to see that before it went in." "That doesn't belong in a University paper." "I wish to protest ..." "Pardon, if I may suggest ..."
Sarcasm, the invective and advice are well stirred and served at a high temperature under the editors' news-serving nose. Occasionally the dessert of commendation filters through in cafeteria style. The editor mentally flaims himself, places his drooping spirits in pillories of public persecution, and pens an answer.
This is what he tells them. The Kansaan believes in the University of Kansas and in itself as a paper that functions for the fostering of a great Kansas spirit, made strong by good-will and mutual consideration. It countenances constructive criticism and deploys high handed sarcasm.
its ethics are embodied in the three great journalistic ideals, speed, truth and accuracy.
The Kansan feels against insubordination, but believes it possesses certain inherent rights, as to sorting of news, choice of news and printing of news, restricted by the proper administrators. The Kansan feels its self-publicated for the the University-at-large, as a mouth piece to brighten the musty corners of any restricted Hill activity. It upholds fairness, but it insists upon its right to attach import to the news.
And the stuff asks complainers to remember that the paper is a student sheet, and to forgive its unpardonable errors on that ground.
And now a man starts to hoof it across the continent backwards, holding a mirror to see where he is going. All we are going to be this time is that he gets a stiff neck.
The House with the largest mortgage on it may have the largest car parked in front of it.
PURPLE COWS
Advocates of a new art became dissatisfied some years ago with accepted standards, and so started out to build a new art. They did it. They set cows of periwinkle shade browsing in fields of salmon pink. They drew women, at least they called women, and attached instructions to the public to take especial notice of their coiffures.
It was all very new, then, and strange.
It's old—now.
Collier's Weekly infringes some what on the personal when announce in a prohibition letter contest, saying, "Competition open to all, ever to Mr. Volstead, the Old Soak, and W. J. Bryan."
In the wake of the primitive professorial pun, "They Should Not Pass" there is discovered the prior pungent proclamation, "Lest We Forget."
MUD SLINGING
There is too much mud slinging on about the campus. J. Pluvius and J. Driver have forced our barometer down and we go about with beepattern spirits.
Our press is gone. We are late to an after-dinner lecture. We wade the campus, and drizzle past the law steps. Others are late and drizzling. We begin the West Ad parade; late, wet, and with our damper down. We approach that gumbo area just before crossing the campus creek.
A roar is heard to the left of us. We squish onward. A craft heaves in sight, dangerously bumping over the river bed, fed by campus springs. Desperate against time, we push toward the mid-ways of the slough. A hurtling jumble of rods, rubber and passengers shoves its jib boom in wild careering toward our path, lifts a liquid half of Mount Oread to strangle our pedestrian attempts, and steers onward; a thing half engine, half seat.
We catch our breath and balance and ooze into "Ad."
"I read the editors because I pay for them," said a University woman. Trust to women to get the most for their money.
Campus Opinion
Will the Coup in Bavaria turn out to be chicken or Ford?
I would like to take issue with the gentleman who said in Tuesday's evening's Kansan to "it is the duty of all sophomores to take active part in attending morning." It seems to me that it is the primary duty of sophomores and freshmen, of as everybody else, to attend church Thanksgiving morning. That is the reason holiday is given that day, and only thus shall we be obeying the proclamation of Thanksgiving by the Mayor. I have no objection to the Olympics, but they ought to be held it some other time.
Editor of the Kansan:
I don't see any reason why our oathball team should not attend hunch Thanksgiving morning. I remember they will play a better game if they do.

Conference Echoes
At a recent meeting of Kansas editors at Lawrence, someone presented Billy Morgan of the Hutchinson News with some rubbers "in case he ever wants to gum-shoe his way into politics again." Billy got up to respond, looked reflectively at the crowd, and said, "Never do me any good. I'm in so deep that only hip boots would help me out."

YOU PROMISED ---
One of the largest Jayhawker incomes is from sales. A deficit budget is necessary for the financial success of the book; and actual sales are necessary to guarantee that part of the budget.
When you, of the Junior and Senior classes, voted for the present editor and business manager, you virtually promised them your utmost support. The 1924 Jayhawk is being put out jointly by the Junior and Senior Classes. You, as the managers, are your representatives. You owe them your backing.
Juniors and Seniors are morally obligated to give the utmost support to the Jayhawk. Purchasing a book is the least you can do.
Don't put it off saying,"Well, I'll buy in the spring." The business manager MUST know NOW how many books are going to be sold. If you can't pay $5.00; pay $2.50 down, and the balance later.
The 1924 Jayhawkner is going to be a $20,000 book. We cannot give you all the special features we want to, and print it for less. It will be "a Greater Yearbook to a Greater University."
JUNIORS—Your pictures will look nice mighty in that special class section, with a real layout to set it off—that block, special border, and the best printing and engraving that can be secured. The Junior section will be equal in every partner to the senior and graduate sections, with more than one picture antee. That is size. Get you gloss in early.

The editors stake their combined reputations on this—that the Jawahyer this year will eclipse all previous editions of the Annual. A paill service on the cover will help to produce for the producer if the consumers are not satisfied.
Get your Jawhaker now and be assured that your name will be on the cover in gold. It will be a lot better that way and will mean more to you than a plain book, which is the only kind we can give you if you wait. We can sell it for $20. For fifteenth—for fifty cents additional. Right now it costs you nothing. Order your Annual today.
A Few of the Features of the 1924 Jayhawker CLASS SECTIONS:
VIEW SECTION:
EVERY student in the University is given an opportunity to be presented in the Jayhawk this year, through class sections. Many are taking advantage of this opportunity, for they know the book will mean much to them in later years if their picture is in it.
HUMOR SECTION:
ACTIVITY SECTION:
ACTIVITIES of the year are the part of your school life you most want to remember. An entirely different kind of activities section is to teach children, printed in two colors. Nothing land—but attractive and appealing.
YEARS later you will enjoy turn-
ing to your 1924 Jawhaker, and looking over your old "Stompin'
Grounds." Fifteen full pages of unusual K. U. views are promised,
printed in two colors.
FOUR of the most clever and versatile people on the Hill, assisted by several others, are working every day on a humor section that will prove to be one of the best. There will be very few students who escape the horrors of this section.
SURPRISE SECTION;
CERTAINLY a surprise section usually turns out to be just one thing—a beauty section; and we're not going to say that they are going to say that either way you guess, the 8-pane Surprise Section is going to "knock you old."
ORGANIZATIONS AND FRATERNITIES:
ORIGINAL make-up of the papers, and different grouping of fraternities, sororites and organizations will be studied this year. You will like the change.
LAWRENCE SECTION:
NEVER before has the City of Lawrence been featured in a Jayhawker. Students spend four years here (a few spend more), yet their Jayhawkers do not reflect that hospitality. A special section of the Jayhawker will feature Lawrence, the city beautiful, this year.
STUDENTS always derive great pleasure from the unusual maps of themselves and their friends. This is a good way to propose to give you what you want.
SNAP SHOTS:
QUALITY:
NO BOOK will surpass the 1924 Jayhawk for quality of binding paper, engraving, or printing. The 1924 Jayhawk is given our contract. The printers of the 1924 Jayhawk are recognized as the best college annual printers in the United States. A better grade in your final paper will be used than ever before.
