U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kaiwan aims to picture the students in a more junior than university setting. The Kaiwan is to go further than native language classes, and to allow students to play games; to be chosen to be charitable; to be involved with service problems in our heads; to have more service problems in our hands; to ability the students of the University. MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1923 OVER THE COFFEE CUPS The young sometimes think that the old are fools, but the old know the young are. Prof. W. W. Davis wants all Dads, guests of the University next Saturday, to attend the dinner at the Commons, to rub elbows with son and daughter at the festive board, and to be inebured with the atmosphere of the state's first and greatest educational institution. OVER THE COFFEE CUPS The making of reservations for Dad's Dinner started today. It is well. Only by intimate contact with K. U., and its student body can Kansas as a people come to a realization that this institution is a decided asset to the state. To have Mr. Brown of Smith Center know the scope of K. U.'s educational practice and of its genuine worth to the people to have him become an enthusiastic advertiser for the Hill—these are the things the dinner can do. And in so doing, the annual gathering of fathers and sons and daughters can carry the message of service to the people of Kansas. It is said that the United State contains about ten million motor vehicles. Yes and one million hospitals WHY WERE THEY DUMB? How did we welcome them back? How can we have a withpepless rally, with a group of students who in no sense of the term could be called a rally. WHY WERE THE DUMB? K. U lost lr first game in the New Studium to Nebraska last fall with a score of 28-28. The year before Nebraska won by the same score Saturday afternoon the Jayhawk football team hid the Haskers down to a score of 0-0 on the Huskers field Probably the student body is not to blame for the lack of enthusiasm At least an eighth of the "thundering thousands" were on hand, which is undoubtedly a good representation for s'clock on a Sunday morning. They were there, ready to thunder with the "Rock Chalk" and "Yea Kansas!" They hadn't gotten up at 6 o'clock on a cold morning and biked over to the Union Pacific station to stand around and hear their teeth chatter. They wanted to yell! Many graduates were among the group who wanted to see what a real team looked like who could hold their own against the Huskers. One lonely Rock Chalk welcome the special. Perhaps the joy of valo was too great for words. While the scattered team wim- cally home and ate breakfast, the "rally" turned, silent and disap- pointed, back up Massachusetts street A good time to stop talking is just before you tell all you know. FRUITS OF BISMARCK'S TOILE A Rhineland republic was pro- claimed yesterday. Saturday the German government sent a note to twenty-three nations placing on France the responsibility for the hunger and starvation if claims is imminent in the country. Something better was expected of Streemann when he assumed a virtual dictatorship of Germany. It was thought that he would treat with France for an agreement on reparations, that he would put a speedy end to the petty political intrigue in Bavaria, Saxony, and the Rhineland, and that he would relieve the internal economic condition with an iron hand. Streemann appeared to be sincere and to hold the reins of government in determined fingers. Perhaps he will bring order out of chaos even yet; he has had no time to exhibit his capability for doing so. And time is an essential element when it comes to re-enforcing the supports if a tonpiling superstructure. But, it appears, Berlin has decided to whine, to throw up its hands and tell the world that France is responsible. The explanation of Germany's present financial and political condition is simple; only one group in the country following the war had an effective organization and a definite mind of its own, the industrialists. It proceeded to pursue a policy of nullifying the reparations and economic provisions of the Versailles treaty and to make enormous profits for itself by encouraging the unlimited inflation of currency. What has happened since constitutes a large part of current European history. Today, it would seem, the hour of retribution has arrived. The game is up. A disillusioned people is ready, in the opinion of Karl Radek, one of the leading Russian publicists and a prominent figure in the Third International, to revolt, to overthrow the government. In the hands of Stressmann rests the fate of the German republic. If he can bring the people and the cabinet to a realization that establishing themselves as masters of their own house, regaining the confidence of the world by exhibiting a determination to live up to their obligations—instead of standing by while things go from bad to worse—he will have made the most out of his political position. It is intimated that at the fashion resorts in France men have begin wearing nets instead of lotion to keep the hair in place. This will lend women to think that men are becoming bigger flashes every day. THE "ANTI'S" AGAIN Anti-vivisections are once again on the rampage, war-paint and all. This time it's in California. The president of the Golden State's "anti" society told delegates to an "anti" convention in Los Angeles last week, "When it is generally understood that vivisection is not only useless, even from a medical standpoint, and inhumanly cruel to animals, but is brutalizing in the extreme to those who practice it, an angry citizenry will demand its abolition." That's right! Vivisection is utterly useless! Medical science can very well afford to mark time while the list of human alliments assumes the length of the Versailles peace document, all for the sake of preserving the frog supply of the nation for the Ritz-Carlton. Frogs prefer being cut up, you know, by a chef rather than by the student engaged in medical research. It's just their temperament. The knife of the student biologist and of the embryonic doctor is cruel, too. It spares nothing, not even those frogs in delicate health. It cut the young frog off from home and mother just when he is beginning to croak enough to keep the suburban resident awake half the night. And brutalizing—b-h-r-p. It is unofficially reported that the students in Snow hall have to be fed raw meat after every session in the laboratory to appease their vornacular appetite for blood. It's really alarming. Somebody should do something about it. Angry citizenry, to arms! We're told that "Peter, Peter" ate numkins. But one wonders if he wasn't a little boy and made Jack- lanterns out of them. Rainy weather is fine for ducks and pressing establishments. Campus Opinion The textbooks in some courses on the HILL seem almost as variable as the fads and fancies of fashion. Each year many students who bring back their old textbooks in the hope of selling them, learn that the text has been changed and there is no market for their books. Each year students of modern language buy second-hand books, learn that the text has been changed and this small economy is impossible. To the Editor: We realize that the motive which prompts most of these changes in texts is merely the desire to furnish the best authority for student use. We also realize that the free challenges work a great hardship on many students, and it seems hardly unreasonable to wonder if textbooks of sufficient merit to be used are not good enough to use for consecutive years. The buying of textbooks could not be considered a luxury, of course, but to many students it is a heavy resource on limited resources. New and authoritative works on various academic subjects are published every year, we know. But if you want to retain as a library reference, as is nearly the case, surely it would not work a real hardhack upon the class to continue using the old book. To confirm the new book as a reference Sponner Library is given a certain amount of money annually from the budget of the University with which To the Editor: M. W.A. to purchase books. It is the problem of the officials at Spooner to make this fund reach as far as possible in order to increase the increase of volumes at the library. Perhaps their greatest difficulty is doing this is the fault of the students—the carelessness of the students. Books are taken from the stacks both with and without checks. Often they are not returned. Students do not realize the seriousness of such offences until their class work is impaired to a degree that will personally hurt them. This is often when they cannot 'end suitable references for their term thesis.' Sometimes at the end of a school year one student may have accumulated a half dozen books. If he is a senior he leaves perhaps and never returns them; if he is in school again he may or may not return them, as he chooses. This makes a book a be filled with a re-order of old books instead of a new order of added *treasures*. Students are challenged to do their part to make Spooner Library a place where the state's money is out to the greatest advantages and where the University of Kansas can provide laboratory in the Middle West.
