SUNDAY MORNING, NOV. 11, 1023
The Daily Kuman aims to picture the undergraduate in order to go further than merely print the news by standing up for students' ideas; to be clean; to be cheerful; to play no game
France has her own interpretation of "Deutschland ulber alles." Her interest is in Germany, above all else.
ARMISTICE DAY
ARMOURAGE LAYER
"...for tears and funeral layers
Eternal memories and eternal
praise.
Their winding sheet is fame, woven no decay.
Nor all subduing time shall fret away"
Armistice day has become a memorial for those heroes who died in the World War, instead of a day on which to celebrate with noise and bidity.
the sixth Armistice day arouses again reminiscences of the war - - - and its end.
The day is not a celebration of a people, who are freed from the bondage of a mortal power, but more the joy of being freed from the death and destruction brought on by mortal weaknesses.
"ARTISTS AND MODELS"
Can you blame monarchic Bavaria and communistic Saxony for not accepting the central government? A combination of two evils is seldom an improvement.
"Artists and Models" is one of the most recent productions of Lee Shubert, and perhaps holds the distinction of being the most risque show ever produced in America. Because of this fact, it has received a great deal of derogatory criticism. And no doubt, it has been with entire justification.
It is surprising, however, to find that such a prominent critic as Heywood Brown comes forward and says that Puritanical America can not differentiate between vulgarity and art. Perhaps not. There is no doubt that "Artists and Models" contains many beautiful scenes which can only be considered from an artistic standpoint.
Nevertheless, the vulgarity of the lines in many of the other acts is enough to convince even the most broad-minded that Lee Shubert considers his production a successful appeal to man's lower nature.
"Wanted, a young married couple to work for room and breakfast," shouts a Kanaan advertisement. Who says two can't live cheaper than one!
THE JAZZY REFORMER
Ages ago a Hebrew prophet stood in the presence of an eastern nation, and interrupted the bacchanalian orgies long enough to point to a sinister message appearing upon the wall. It foretold the fall of Babylon and Babylon fell. Fell because the state, the king, and the whole population lived on jazz alone.
Today reformers harken back to the days of the Babylonians, and predict the same future to our own country. They throw their enarm into the air, mount the pulpits of narrow churches and consign the country to Moloch without a whimper. They fail to realize that the modern man takes his jazz for recreation, and spends the other hours of the day in good honest work. This country will never fall until jazz becomes the working basis of all our institutions. As yet we have a long way to go.
The professional reformer forgets one thing. Every member of the animal family has a certain way to play. Snakes and lizards play the same as humans.
The reformer has his jazz. It consists in crying at the top of his voice about everything some one else does. Instead of skipping to and fro hollering, “spring is here,” he balances himself on a soap box and dodges tomatoes. The discordant whine of his nasal pitched voice takes the place of the jazz orchestra. Honest people wish for only one thing to happen if the county does fall. Let the professional reformer be on the under side when it lands.
Kansas City is now conducting a "Help the Helpless" campaign. University students feel the need of a similar project now that quiz week is here.
TEMPLES AND COTTON FIELDS
He is a scene shifter, a stage hand.
He spends his nights removing the velvet curtains that form the background for a Japanese temple scene to make way for the cotton fields of a southern scene.
Next week he will be clearing away fences from a farmyard scene to make way for the construction of a Turkish mosque.
He grows pretty tired of it, so tired of it, sometimes, that he forgets that the make-believe which he helps to present to an indifferent public is not much different from the make-believe he might be forced to adopt for himself if any other occupation were his.
It's pretty much a matter of make-
believe, anyway, whether he is a scene
shifter, or the society editor in the
local weekly.
Some manufacturers are still using national "weeks" and drives in advertising their products. Wouldn't it be nice if the universities of the country would declare "Student Week" and present each under-grad with a perfect attendance record and a set of "A" grades for the week.
In view of some recent historical events it seems about time for some collegiate comic to say: "All the great men are dying and I'm not feeling well."
Throngs of European immigrants come to dry America, and dry Americans crowd the ships to Europe Human nature is peculiar!
Campus Opinion
To the Editor:
When people are invited to be chaperons at our University parties, they are supposed to be complimented, but——
Someone is drafted to take them to the party. They are brought in and set down in some inconspicuous corner where they will be of little trouble. As a couple arrives they go to the chaperners and speak to them for a few minutes about the party. The girl will then proceed to retreat and forget all about them until the time arrives to go home.
Of course, at each dance, these who have been ordered to entertain the chaparres come in and sit down, and then they are sent out a sation about the decorations and the weather and the wonderful music; but their relief at the end of the stated interval, and the arrival of next contingent, is all too evident.
These chaperons are real persons, not prize exhibits from some strange country. Every once in a while some one who gives them a chance, discovers that they are actually interesting. And just remember one thing: somebody we may be chaperons ourselves.
Those who are very polite say goodbye as they hurry out, but others forget it. Who has the task of taking them home, does it, and thanks them for coming, and tells them how very much their presence was appreciated and enjoyed.
To the Editor:
tory, or hall that could be printed in the University Daily Kaanan. The students could send in their location of the scene each day, and after a series had been printed, those museums would be awarded the prizes and honor.
A Kansas City newspaper has just completed a "know your city" contest in which three automobiles were awarded as prizes to the winners. It appears to me that the Kansas might lead in a "know your University" contest. Of course automobiles could not be awarded as prizes, but they could be given to the winners to stimulate competition and interest in the affairs. Small, inexpensive medals might be given.
K. S.
Every student should know his university from sidewalk to auditorium; he should observe keenly all places that he visits and should be led to visit places where his routine classes do not compel him to go.
As one knows his home, he should know his university, his city, his state, and his nation. To love and take an active part in the life of any group or community it is necessary first of all to know and to understand the places of environment. G.R.D.

Making It Clear By Means Of Glasses
The person who sees clearly usually thinks clearly and acts with decision. Nothing is so conducive to dullness as poor eye-sight. Lassitude and nervousness frequently are the result. Students particularly, should give their eyes careful consideration. The best remedy, if your eyes all you, is correct glasses. You will appreciate the service we are offering you.
