I'm Daily Karen aims to picture the undergraduate experience for further than merely printing the news by standing for it, so for favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be more avid problems to tute hands; to have more knowledge and ability of the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1923
If Spain will add a number of race riots and capital-labor fights to her reported number of automobile accidents, she will become almost as civilized as the United States.
BREATHES THERE A MAN--?
IT WAS A LONG TIME ago that the first football game was played against a K. U. team. The loyalty of that first eleven and its supporters has been strengthened since that time by the loyalty of thousands of Jayhawks.
Now it has become a tradition on Mount恩顿. All K, U. goes out to spur the players on the field. More than that, all K, U. goes out on rally night, to tledge support.
Let's not forget it.
Rally nights were instituted for that purpose.
KANSAS LEADS
One thing in favor of front-porch dates is that one doesn't spend any thing but time.
Whether it be in political, industrial, and temperance reforms, or in the movements of minor importance Kansas seems to establish the precedent and other states follow.
Comes now the report that Lehigh University will hold a reunion of its alumni by radio on Friday night of this week—almost a year after K. U. initiated the spectacle with a nation-wide celebration of its graduates and former students through the waves of either.
Psychologists would probably ascribe the tremendous power of undertaking in Kansas, its ability to "put over" the new and untried, to geographical and geological conditions—the stimulating climate and the wide rolling prairies.
Suffice it is to say that Kansas possesses an initiative, incomprehensible to the staid East. It loads others follow.
The only tie that binds is the one you're trying to put on in time to make an eight-thirty class.
FOR HIM WHO WOULD LAUGH
Kansas City offers its citizen "Romeo and Juliet" at top prices and the house is scarcely filled. The Capulets and the Montagues work out their destinies as they were meant to be worked out, but most of Kansas City doesn't know it.
Then comes the "Passing Show",
excellent, perhaps in its line, but on a decidedly lower plane than that of the former production.
Kansas City is nothing if not considerate. She thinks always of her people, starved for a laugh or two, hungry for amusement, and she shudders at the prohibitive prices. So she obligently lows admission to the lighter production, in order that all her citizens may see and enjoy.
Truly, such sacrifice is sublime.
Though it may crumble, there's no dream like your own.
PLACING THE BLAME
The caption put above the college humor section of a certain popular magazine probably illustrates the attitude taken by the American public toward the institution of higher learning—"joyous, irresponsible, irrepressible."
The falsity of this apparently popular opinion of the average university is at once obvious to those in intimate contact with the inner workings of educational bodies. Perhaps no group of individuals laborers more diligently and philanthropically for the youth—and the commonwealth—of this country than that on its numberless Mount Oreada.
The blame for the impression can be laid both at the portals of the university and to the public press, which reflects a decidedly unbalanced aspect of curricular activities.
The former can be held responsible because of its protection in acquiring the people with its utility. The latter can be held only indirectly responsible, inasmuch as it automatically tends to reflect public opinion. Let this University carry its message of service to the state of Kansan by legitimate advertising methods; and the "joyous, irresponsible, irrepressible," aspect of university life will be relegated to a properly unimportant position in the public mind.
Don't, "Ask Your Neighborhood Druggist," unless you have a prescription for it.
IT COULD BE WORSE
Papers are beginning to pile up,
desired library books have always
just been checked out by the shark of
the class; eight-thirty classes are
getting earlier and earlier; freshman
cars look pretty funny under fresh-
man caps; boarding house meals are
beginning to pall.
But there will be a new library and additional books, and, maybe, fewer sharks in a couple of years; we do not have daylight saving in Kansas; it's rather a privilege to wear that homely little cap—and the first football game of the season will be played Saturday. It could be worse.
Some students would make good angels. They're always harping on something.
At The Theater
By Ted Wear
Without undue sentimentality, the play ends with the likeable, if not lovable, man marrying the heroine. Yet there are many things which tend to retain the veil of mystery, as the play even after one has seen it.
The story of the play is that a certain Mr. Nest leaves all his estate, twenty years after his death, to a niece with the provision that, if she be mentally unsound, the estate shall go to a second heir named in a third person, and be opened by one of the heirs and that person furnishes an evening of gruseness accommodation for all the members of the household.
Whether or not you went to "The Cat and the Curare" last night with the most blase and cynical air possible, daring John Willard's famous mystery play to frighten you, you must have been a peculiar tingling along your spine and at the base of your head, for which you could not reasonably account. The play had its 'fuji quota' thrills and chills, and the campus is in a oig controversy around the title of "The Bat" and "The Cat and the Canary."
Who was Doctor Patterson? Was he insane or extremely eccentric? His appearance forces you to accept one or the other. Who was Hendricks, a crook, an impersonator, or a real warden in this town? Who hit and why? Was Charles insane from the first, during the play, or only at the end?
These come to mind when one stops to ponder over the loose ends which dangling to have been left lanting. Was it all logical or is an audience slightly unbalanced in wanting to know all?
The acting was quite above the standard of the average road show. Louis Kimbail as Paul Jones was able to produce the most laughs because of his reasoning "and yet, on the other hand." His part was clever, though rather overworked in the third act when he managed the burden of the exposition in giving the audience the various possible solutions. Emily Taft was entirely adequate in the difficult and trying role of the heroine. She was consistent and sincere. Sue Van Duzen was equally real, though her makeup was hardly complete. The remainder of the cast was satisfactory, with John Stokes as Crosby, John C. King in the role of Harry, and Clifford in the garden, standing out from the rest.

WEAVER
This is a great pen for college men and women! It is made by the makers of Eversharp pencil. It has a huge ink capacity! And the Wahl filling device fits it plumb tightly. But it is as nicely balanced and proportioned that it fits into the fist most comfortably.
A BIG PEN to see you through a BIG four years
The Wahl Signature Pen writes the instant the point touches paper. The ink begins to flow evenly — always enough, never too much. The patented comb feed makes shaking unnecessary.
ACTUAL SIZE
The everlasting nib is a wonder. Experts say it is the ultimate in nib-making. It suits itself to any hand—to any style. It is extra heavy. The 14-karat gold is tipped with the hardest and finest grade iridium that money can buy.
The patented construction of the cap makes it impossible for the pen to leak in the pocket. The cap cannot split, for it is strengthened by the plain gold band. There are two sizes of the Wahl Signature Pone—at $5 for women, and one at $7 for men! Other Wahl Pens, $2.50 up!
