U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kaiam aten is to picture the undergraduate life of the class of students who merely prying the news by standing for the ideas that they hold. For them, it is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to solve serious problems to upper heads; to solve serious problems to lower heads; to solve serious problems to university; and to the students of the University. TUESDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1923 Mexico wants to establish 7,000 primary schools. And now the little Francisco may learn to be as efficient bandits as their fathers. Most women's organizations on the hill require attendance at Y. W. C. A. meetings of their first year girls. Y. W. becomes a hard unyielding duty; something that must be borne patiently, or a meeting where some speakers talk about rather serious topics while one enjoys a pleasant little chat or perhaps a light lunch. One might as well make duty pleasant! WHAT THE Y. W. ISNT "Today is Y. W. Day. All the freshmen must go." And a group of reluctant girls are shunted off to do their duty as their elders see it. It might be well if the new members of the Y, W, who are attending their first campus meetings of that worthy association today could be impressed with the conduct betting the audience and the real benefits and services that may be obtained from contact with the other women of the University who take an active part in its work. Bootleggers were going to hold their next national convention in Chicago, but adequate lodging facilities were not available. They can make the duty that is thrust upon them a source of interest experience and of inspiration. THE WAR AGAIN War does strange things to people. Or perhaps strange things are attributed to the war. And when poverty and the war are combined, all manner of things may happen. Now comes the news that Ibsen's love letters, written by the man who more than any other of his time stood for all that is stern and cold in nature, are to be incorporated into a new novel by a popular author, and soon to be published. The woman to whom the letters were written is said to be poverty-stricken, an aftermath of the war. And so she, for the money to be derived therefrom, places on the public market the documents which give evidence of the fire that almost consumed the great writer, and which he effectively concealed from the world. The affair occurred a long time ago; and lisen's work, as far as the world is concerned, is done. But it would seem that those parts of his life which he wished concealed might remain hidden. Even the dead should have his rights. Democratic party leaders requested that the details of the expenditure from the 1,000,000 pesos fund be made public. And, we understand, Major General Wood wouldn't. THIS "CREDIT" BUSINESS Credit business for the average University student is bad business Running an "account" with a local merchant is hazarding the loss of the good will which exists between the student and the business man. Often times the request for credit amounts to an imposition on the latter. most students have a definitely fixed amount on which they live during their nine months in Lawrence; and running a bill at the stores is alarmingly conducive to living be vond their means. Naturally enough, it is the upper-classman, acquainted with Lawrence merchants, who feels so secure in his status as a Hill student that he doesn't hesitate to let the I. O. U.'s accumulate on the debit side of the ledger. The merchant favors and trusts the Hill by cashing its checks with little question as to their worth. Let's reciprocate by paying cash. A girl never feels really dressed up unless she is wearing something borrowed. "WHERE NO MONUMENTS EXIST" "Where no monuments exist to heroes, but in the common words and deeds"—that place, says Whitman, American poet, is where the great city stands. It merits thought. The average city of our country has its share of civic statues, fountains, buildings, and parks, constructed as memorials to its heroes. And the same man, perhaps, who officiates at the dedication of such a memorial, with high-sounding words and well-turned phrases, turns his back on the structures to stoop to bribery, selfishness, and petty acts. Whitman wa, right. That place which dedicates noble words and deeds to its horses, needs no marble shafts. It is indeed, a great city. Unless the American colleges graduate more students this year, the restaurants are going to run out of dish-washers. ONLY A DOG He was only a dog, not worth much, perhaps, as things go, but he was the center in a little drama enacted in a Kansas City court last week. Other principals included two little boys, each claiming possession of the animal, each producing documents and pictures to prove that he was the rightful possessor. It was a case for a Solomon to decide. The judge played up. He ordered the dog sent to the pound, and then gave him to the boy who wept louder for the lost pet. It may have been wisdom or not on the part of the judge. Probably what recurred to the heart of every reader of that story was the remembrance of the howls of grief which rent the air when the little cur he had befriended broke his leg under the wagon wheels of the local grocery boy, or when his tail was caught in the big refrigerator door down at the ice plant, and permanently ruined. A boy is always a boy, and a dog is always a dog. Fine feathers make fine birds more expensive. Campus Opinion For three years I have stood by and wondered why K. U. could not foster more class spirit among the students. A great many other colleges and universities throughout the United States hold class distinctions and loyalty as a sacred tradition andavor to extend these news every year. Editor Kansan: It seems to me that our University would be a great deal better off had we this class spirit, that is, each class forming a separate team and principles to found and protect. Instead of the laws and engineers holding a football game, allow each class to have its own team and compete in an intercut arrangement until some renamed tournament was played off. Or supplement our pan-Hellenic meets with class meetings, thus affording many students who are not members of organizations or who do not have the ability to make the Varsity teams the opportunity to try out or compete in the system. We encourage them and system I believe, aid a great effort in promoting closer friendship among each class, and would make our enlist better. You, as editor of our University Daily Kansan, would be able through the editorial columns to put this before the student body, and by so doing would greatly aid existing conditions.—J. D. B.
