The Daily Klaman aims to picture the students in a different way than many primary Klamans; to go further than merely provide lessons, they want the University to add to play more favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be creative; to move more serious problems to quieter heads; in a more dynamic and ability the students of the University.

SALVE
The statement that the impression owed by a witty remark increases in inverse proportion to the frequency of the speaker's cleverness is comforting.
To attempt to cure a chronic case of diphtheria with an external application of salve to the throat is madness.
To attempt to enforce the liquor prohibition law of the United States by stemming the flow of illicit drugs from Canada, as it is proposed to do in the forthcoming conference between the Canadian and the American governments in November, is going at the thing from the wrong angle.
granting that the stoppage of the influx of booze into this country from across the Canadian border is possible of accomplishment, other leaks would probably open immediately upon its completion.
The American people must be educated to an appreciation of the virtues of Volvestianism, or the act must be repealed. That fact is admitted by many of the prominent enforcement agents.
Responsibility for educating the nation devolves largely upon the public press. It is opinion and fact, gathered from the Gulf to the Canadian boundary and from the Atlantic to the Pacific, set in type before the average citizen, that influences his action.
The Voltest act is law. As law, it is incumbent upon the country's publications to insist upon its enforcement. Or to insist upon its repeal, not its infraction.
The press does not realize its responsibility. If it did, the jets on and open encouragement of disregard for prohibition, which have emanated from it since glasses ceased to click over the bar in July, 1918, would cease.
The Non-Partisan League of South Dakota has changed its name to the Farmer-Labor party. And now, we suppose, it will change "Pierre" to "Minneapolis."
IT'S AN ILL WIND...
ITS AN ILL WIND -----
A friend who has been in the Orient for some time asserts that five or six years ago the manufacturer of Mah-Jong sets were about to gout of business.
There was no demand for their articles of trade. Then came the great "American Public" with its desire for new amusement, and a new commercial field was opened.
Possessing a value in itself as a game, plus the glamor of having come from a most ancient race, Mah-Jong has plugged in on a "party line" and everyone is enjoying the visit.
Mr. Chinese, in his factory, sits and smiles inscrutably while the East Wind and all the others of Mah-Jong blow good fortune to him.
to the uninitiated, it might seem that a football coach had something to do with the transportation of the team.
PERVERTED POLITICS
It is one dire fault of democratic government that a small group of politicians—superficially working in the interests of the public at large, but in reality using the reins of government to guide that same public to the polls for its reelection—should be allowed to run for office.
It is not always the case. Sometimes the politician gets a perverted view of the situation and plays his cards wrong, to the detriment of the masses and of himself.
A few days ago the mayor of a certain Pennsylvania town declared he was "not going to stand idle and allow the South to dump its criminals and riff-raff" on the municipality of which he is the political head. Specifically, he averred, "The negroes can stay where they belong. That's in the South."
From a common-sense standpoint, the public would like to know the "how come" of Mr. Mayor's setting himself up as dictator as to who and whose shall be citizens of the town. Constitutionally, the negro is entitled to the same rights and privileges as the white man. He should enjoy a like degree of liberty in a Pennsylvania town and in Memphis, Tennessee. As yet, no announcement to the effect that a portion of Pennsylvania is politically sovereign of the rule of state and nation has been made.
The whole thing seems to resolve itself into a grandstand play on the part of the aforementioned mayor for the purpose of retaining his office in the next election.
Mr. Gallagher and Mr. Shean have entered the movies and will attempt to "put over" their comedy acts on the screen. If they succeed, we suggest a moving picture of a concert by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra.
A trio of women students entered the library one evening last week, chose one of the tables near the back of the reading room as a location and began settling themselves. They pulled out chairs; laid books, pens and powder compacts on the table, and sat down. Then one drew from her arm a package wrapped in white crackling paper. She untidied and opened it, revealing a box of toothsome Martha Washington candies.
WHY THEY "FLUNK"
The trio munched incessantly, read spasmodically, and giggled often during the evening. The aroma of the chocolates filled the corner of the room so that the dozen or more occupants in that locality looked uneasy and grew hungry. Looks that would kill had no effect on this feminine group. They didn't seem to be aware of neighbors.
Two or three people changed their seats; other stuck it out, endeavoring to keep their attention on readings in Greek history or Wells' "Outline of History."
Related to the above incident was a similar one yesterday. A student who had his Spanish sentences to translate before his next class went into Spooner. Unfortunately he sat beside two University women who
had not seen each other for the space of twenty-four hours. They began immediately to make up for lost time; they compared experiences, their news from home, their opinions on the events of the Hill. The man with his Spanish sentences struggled on, but the conversation next to him was more powerful than his concentration ability and he went to class a "funker."
SAY IT WITH A's
You have heard of the outstanding novels known by the slogan, "Read 'em and weep." We at this time can introduce some text books that may be known by the slogan, "Read 'em and sleep."
Looks as though France has won the pennant in the League of Nations. In the recent crucial series with Germany, the home team sent Stresemann in as pinch-hitter, but his strike failed to make a hit.
Campus Opinion
To Editor of the Kansan:
10 Knoter of the Kansas:
The election of an honorary colonel for the K. U. R. O. T. C. unit is filled by appointment. Last year the position was filled by appointment through the senior officers of the unit. Whether or not the unit approves of the election of an honorary colony by the whole senior class is a question. The R. O. T. C. as a body has not been accorded to the manner in which its honorary leader should be chosen.
Without conviction of its authority in electing its own officers, especially honorary officers, an organization must establish itself in its own activity. It becomes merely a puppet, waiting for the strings to be pulled. In this particular instance the organization will rubbish of a tradition in the making.
Traditions are vital requisites to any organization. They constitute morale. Men, even when they are in desperate straits, will rally round a beloved tradition, if it is their own. Above all, the authority of army men to choose their own traditions should not be encroached upon. While T, C, is not the army, it is conducted in the same manner, and should be allowed to rule.
For years the regular army of the United States has cherished traditions. Battles have been won by the appearance of a traditional battle flag at a crucial worm-slogan. When a regiment of regulars appoint an American woman for their honorary colonel, they have created an ideal, for which they will go through hell in order to achieve theocracy of "Long live the King" with old. It is the self-choosen tradition of man upon which he pins his confidence in himself.
The appointment of an honorary colonel for the K. U. R. O. T. C. is not a matter of life and death, but it involves self. The honorary colonel belongs to the R. O. T. C.; she is to be looked up to and loved by the R. O. T. C; she is the emblem of the unit's competence in itself. Let the unit choose her.
