The Daily Karen aims to picture the future of the school. She urges students to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas that have shaped it; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more resilient and to be more serious problems to water hands; in order to be able to help the ability of students of the University.
SUNDAY MORNING, NOV.4, 1923
Speeding down the steep slopes of Mount Oread on Fourteenth and other streets, the sentiment is to be accompanied by the sentiment: "I care not what course others may take; but as for me, give liberty or give me death."
YOU TELL 'EM WE'RE PROUD
"There is something wrong with the man or woman, who can attend a football game at K. U. and come away without feeling better than he did before the game, regardless of the score," says the Fredonia Herald. "The long drawn cadences of the last 'Rock Chalk' which winds up with such a snap and founish is bound to thrill the pulse and make the breast swell a little bit and pride at being part of a crowd which gives such a cheer to its athletics."
SILOS OR BEER GARDEN?
If the New York rulng in regard to voting while on honeymones stands, fiances will begin to propound, "Love me or love my vote the more?"
The Chicago Tribune in an editorial about the new "Henry and Me" controversy, derides the stand taken by Mr. White on the ground that the most "productive" part of the United States is the part which Mr. White declares is wet, and that Mr. White is not exposing the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments as he is the eighteenth.
The present controversy has not been in regard to the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments, and if there should be an issue on these amendments Mr. White would probably be a stampt defender of the constitution.
Yes, Kansas is dry in principle, but it must be that occasionally a bottle or so drifts back from the East, or that someone with an inventive turn of mind conceals a little home brew, for Kansas continues to add a few to the list of celebrities, and to "Who's Who."
In a survey made by the board of temperance and morals of the Methodist church it was found that the people of Kansas live longer than those of any other state. War department records show that Kansas furnished the most healthy men in the selective draft. Kansas has more home owners per capita than any other state; it is one of the five states with the lowest percentage of illiteracy. It ranks among the states having the lowest percentage of business failures in the hard times of 1921. The 1920 census showed thirty-three county jails and thirty-four city jails did not have a single prisoner in them.
Yes, Kansas will have to admit that silos look better to her on the her farms than beer gardens would on the roofs of her farmhouses; that creaky bites are a greater protection from the cold, sweeping winds of a Kansas blizzard than battle sikles, and that it is a mighty comfortable feeling to be able to snooze before your own fire
in your own home in socks without airholes, and to know that somewhere in the east some poor, ragged, drunken evil is sleeping in the streets.
Lobsters and salamanders have an advantage over mankind in being able to grow new eyes when needed. Now we know what to call that old grade school teacher who had eyes in the back of her head.
HE BUILDS MEN
The building of men, both in character and in body, and the development of school spirit and loyalty to the University, are far more important than the winning of games on the gridiron, on the statement of the greatest coaches in the country—men who have devoted their lives to the training of athletes. The showing in the percentage column they consider to be merely incidental to their work of making a player physically and morally clean, of awakening the student consciousness to a procer regard for the institution of athletics. The cynical smile incredulously at the avered purpose of intercollegiate contests. And it is the cynical—the unthinking portion of the K. U. student body—which has made the mistake of "crabbing" about the showing made this fall by the University football team. It fails to realize that a team, whether in victory or def, can leave the gridiron honorably; that the eleven has brought credit to the institution of athletics and to K. U. if it has played the game, if it has fought cleanly and openly.
K. U. fight is as traditional as its integrity and its inherent regard for fair play. In more recent years the laudable display of grit in the Kansas-Nebraska game in 1920, and to keep it still more closely home—the remarkable demonstration of pure bulldog tenacity at the Lincoln game this fall, testify eloquently to Kansas spirit.
The University is building men. It does boast of a loyal student body which is second to none, not only in the Conference but in the country.
It is for the chronic kicker to realize 'the principle and purpose back of athletics. When he does, he will have ceased to be a kicker; he will have come into a realization of what athletics mean on the Hill.
It's about time some budding journalist blossomed out with the witty remark that "the trees are leaving."
THE PUBLIC SHOPS
The motion picture business seems to be going through the first real test of its existence. The picture public has definitely begun to shop and will not spend money for motion picture entertainment unless pretty well assured that it is going to get something really worth while.
There is a growing conviction among educators and club women in this state of an obvious necessity for showing the public what it should have in order that it may want it. The function of education is to create as well as to satisfy wants.
The producer who has steadfastly kept in view the idea "to elevate and purify" has educated the public, raised its sense of the dramatic, and improved its taste for the artistic.
One thing is certain: today the motion picture occupies the center of the world's stage. It holds within its power the greatest educational means and the most powerful influence for the good that the world has ever known.
The besetting sin of the industry is its parent—commercialism; and this spirit of commercialism has not only invited but compelled some form of defense against the perversity of some producers.
Good is normal; evil is abnormal;
and all the mistakes, dross, and refuse
will be eliminated from the moving
picture by the ever-operative law
of progression and the natural
inherent instinct of all mankind to
do what is right.
Turkey finds herself with a surplus of women and advocates harms again. But then Turkey is a warmer country. Clothing doesn't coat so much there.
An enterprising Oklahoma lumberman is said to have a second ark under construction. The sudden change in temperature leads one to suggest the advisability of adding a snow plow.
We usually dislike those whom we suspect of secretly understanding us, because we are afraid of them.
Judging by the typographical errors appearing in some of the stories turned in to the Kansan, some of the cub reporters must spell almost entirely by ear.
FALL
Winter and spring and summer are this or that—
A white old man, a girl, a drowsing tree.
The Fall is a covered bridge that passes the river
Down from my father's house. The foam and the rocks
Grow suddenly to a grey there, as the sky
Returns one day to roof the valley
The bridge's darkened mouth, so cool all summer,
Gathers descending leaves; already warm there,
The shadows settle to sleep, and a rain fliesering through the leaf-shower down the highway.
Comes on with noiseless wheels and disappears.
