The Daily Kanman aims to picture the life of a woman who is going to go further than merely scripting the notes she makes; she also plays the piano, plays the violin, plays the oldies; to play no favorites; to be clean; to keep herself clean; to leave more serious problems to younger kids; in addition, to help宝强 by allowing the students of the University.
SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 30, 1923
The senior Laws are carrying their canes, the Engineers are wearing their cowboy hats, and the Journalists are swagging their swapper sticks. We wonder why the Home Economics seniors do not adopt the carrying of rolling-pins as their emblem of distinction.
GET ACQUAINTED
For the freshman, the social events being sponsored by the Lawrence churches are a boon. They provide the means for his getting acquainted, not only with classmates of his own denomination, but also with residents of Lawrence.
Happily, the churches of Lawrence, due to their location in this Mecca for students, are more than religious organizations. They stress the social side of their activities, and, in so doing, render are invaluable service to the Hill.
It is an individent fact that one's liking for a community varies directly with the scope of one's friendships. It is well for the underclasmen to take advantage of any opportunity which will enable him to increase his number of acquaintances.
Attend the social functions of the churches. Get acquainted.
TORCHBEARERS
It isn't an athletic impulse that causes the freshman to put on his baseball cap and stand before the mirror. He's wondering just how funny he is going to look when he wears that little freshman cap to the first football game.
A sculptor is carrying a statue on the mountainside of a southern state, a project which will take years to complete, and which will memorize the work of the artist until the mountain crumbles away. Into the wastelands of the north, a fearless man is guiding his ship, intent on exploration. In the countries of the Far East scientists are working to combat the onslaughts of disease and pestilence.
Torchebears, all of them, in the onward march of civilization. The rest of us, consigned to the sidelines to watch the parade, feel, perhaps, that we have little to do with the great pageant of life.
We have. Oh what use the torch bearers, if there are none to appreciate them, none to help make up the great human race for whom the pioneers are working?
Torchehearers, toilers, and watchers—all are needed in the parade, and all have their missions to fill.
A prominent soap company is about to go to the wall. While there's life, there's soap.
IF IT WERE SO
It were high time to gather our shells about us and retire to meditate upon things as they are if the nation were composed of thoughtless, brilliantized youth; independent young women mocking at conventions; dollar-snatchers with grasping hands; politicians with only a black cigar and a high ambition to recommend them; and lawdefiers who sneer at restraint.
But it isn't
“Our next war” will last all winter, with our room-mate, for the overs.
THE STORY A CHECKBOOK TELLS
"Men's works live after them," it has been written. So to their check books. The study of old stubs is an interesting journey into human nature, and psychology, and vanities. There is the story of fluctuating prosperity, told by the large checks drawn at the first of the month and the small ones at the end. There are frequent ones; generally made out to "Cash" for ten or fifteen dollars, perhaps, which bespeak numerous trips to Kansas City. Chocolate shops, cafes, barber shops, all come in for several a month. But the most significant fact is found in the meticulous care with which practical living expenses are listed, the date of the check, the amount, and the purpose for which it is drawn. It is easy to discriminate between those and the checks drawn for purposes of pleasure. The latter are distractingly evasive; they convey no more information than they must.
It's just another example of the tricks an individual will play on himself, to avoid facing unwelcome facts.
The happiest reunion in a student's life is at the return of the prodigal dollar.
IT USED TO BE
It used to be that a young woman, craving exercise or excitement, went out to the back shed, wheeled out her bicycle, and spent the afternoon pedalling down the dusty roadside, sedately, of course, with neither glance nor smile for the passerby.
Today, the daughter of that woman is a hitch-hiker, a woman who with a companion or two, starts out to see the country. She hikes as far as she must, but she requests lifts from all who pass in cars. And she gets them. She may make her way from one coast to the other, tramping, talking, making friends, seeing new scenes.
It used to be that a woman was a lady. She was never allowed to forget that fact. Today she is a lady, still, but she has the opportunity now to travel, to do the things she wishes, to see the world. The bicyclist of that other day and the hitch-hiker of today are sisters under their skis; the newer one has merely dared to be herself.
A dollar a day keeps the collector away.

Meetings Are Only Partitions, Friend Meetings are only partitions, friend; We might have known that in the end Everyone goes his way alone. We shared blue mornings on the sea, White mountain moons,
You played for me.
On your bamboo flute the Chinese
tunes
That went with wine cups,
And the song
Chrysanthemum sang.
Ten stanzas long.
When she lingered with us in Chang-
kung.
Pure with the poems you explained
On Canton walls the day it rained;
And always now the twilight calls
More softly since you said,
"This is the hour
When griefs are shed,
As light as petals from a flower."
These things and other things are
mine
To bless you for:
We send a sign
Of good-will between ship and shore.
Meetings ours have always shone
Beyond their end,
But we might have known
Meetings are only partings, friend.

Plain Tales From The Hill
An Apology
It is not the Plain Tale editor's business to make apologies for the late deliverance of the Kansan by its carriers. We have a few words of explanation in the case of one carrier boy, which we think by right of position we are obliged to take care of the carriers have equipped themselves with the bicycles. These two wheeled modes of conveyances often bring back childhood memories to us, the student body, and we have desires to be once

more astirte of one and ride triumphantly down the avenue. This same desire came upon one of the more dignified registrants of this great University, a student somewhat advanced in years and six foot five in stature. The bicycle that he borrowed belonged to a Kansan carrier boy. In all cases of a borer was pedelling it "trumphantly down the avenue." The carrier boy now has to walk his route while the six four five borrower is frantically trying to get bids on a new tire. The rubber trees won't hurt the rubber trees and cause a raise in the tire market and that the subcribers will be contented with the late arrival of their paper.

FORBUSH SHOES
We heard yesterday of a young man who is making his way through school by the aid of the three graces Corinthians. We did not understand what part the three graces could play in helping a man through

Made of Camel's grain leather, in both black and tan.
We have these made over three new lasts and patterns, each in both black and tan, one with a straight tip soft boxing, another with a wing tip, and the third a new plain toe. Forbush Shoes mean better appearance, more service, and absolute comfort to you.

school, so we took pains to look up the young man and question him. He told us that he had lots of faith sand plenty of hope and now if he knew where he was going somewhere he thought he could make it through the first semester.
Last summer during the summer session the students insisted on using the dressed stones, which were laid on the ground awaiting the construc
tion of the new library, for benches. The contractors put up signs, "Don't set on these stones." After that a great part of the enrollment was bothered with a malady called "chiggers."
Be assured of a good service by sending your cleaning here. We practice the motto—"A satisfied customer or no sale." Clean naphtha always.
You Have The Right
This is what we call the height of timidity. A young man wandered up to the desk in Spooner I library and started checking his book and stayed without checking out a book.
