The Daily Kneean wants to picture the undergraduate student, rather than merely printing the name by standing for the idea in order to be seen; it should be to be cheerful; to be joyful; to be a positive problem to water heads; to marry serious problems to water heads; to engage in the ability of the reader to make sense of the details.
WEDNESDAY. SEPT. 26, 1923
Rumors of a bakers' strike. Now they will do nothing for weeks but loaf.
THE K. U. BAND
The announcement of the organization and personnel of the K. U. band for this year, should be of interest to every student in the University.
Why should this organization receive so little attention and such meager publicity as has been its share in the past? Here is a body of men just as faithful, just as loyal as any group on the Hill, athletic teams not excepted; yet very little mention is ever made of its presence at the various activities, or of the splendid, self-sacrificing work its members are doing day after day, week after week, throughout the entire year.
Unlike the athlete, who usually gives his services only for a short season, the musician must remain "in harness" from September to June, rehearsing twice a week and playing for all University activities from rallies to radio concerts, while his only tangible reward is a small "K" pin—and perhaps a "D" or two among his grades.
The band should receive, then, the support and appreciation accorded other campus organizations which are working in the interests of the University.
The K. U. band is a good band—perhaps the best college band in this part of the country, thanks to the ability and untiring efforts of its director, J. C. J. McCrailes. Ask Fisher what it has meant to him to hear "Booh" played at the start of the 100-yard dash, and you will hear a verification of that statement.
It is said that the "one man cars" of one of the local street railway companies are going to be enlarged so that they will accommodate two people.
THE ARMY AND THE NAVY
THE ARMY AND THE NAVY During the war we were proud of our army and navy and the work for which they stood. The uniform was a badge of honor. But people at large quickly forgot. They ignore the fact that the two great services continue in peace as in war, training during the former period for the emergencies of the latter.
People at large may forget; but a few justices out over the state are remembering the army and the navy. They are remembering the services to send into their ranks offenders who are given the choice of serving a jail sentence or of signing up for an enlistment period.
The army and the navy are expected to protect the country during the war. Then why should those two great bodies be made penal institutions during peace, furnishing the means of ridding small towns over the state of their scapegoats.
A debt of gratitude is always one,
forgetting it is deplorable enough,
but belittling it, or remembering it
only to dishonor it is worse than evil.
The penal system of the country provides for the disposal of the country's offenders. Then let the work
be done there, and accord the army and the navy the respect and consideration which are their due.
Several of our Next President will soon begin to tour the country.
PI
Pi is back.
To the freshman he is just a dog For the upperclassman he amounts to a tradition.
In his entire thirteen years on the campus Pi has never cribbed and incriminated his classmates. He has never black-balled a good man for personal spite. Cheerful, forebearing, he has borne good will toward every Interwoven and every Luxe in the University.
Pi has not talked about a man behind his back and put on the mask of friendship to his face. Belonging to a fraternity has not turned his head.
The Hill may well take a lesson from Pi.
THE MAN WHO LAUGHED
Father's radio set answers to
C. O. D.
Al Mineo, world-famous clown, died recently. Perhaps it will be said of him that his was a wasted life, devoted to no greater endower than that of making people laugh.
But, after all, he succeeded where so many fail. People will criticize before they will laugh. Business, the rush of the world, petty worries—all combine to exclude lighter emotions out of their lives. Sometimes, too, there is so little difference between laughter and tears, that it is not always easy to distinguish between the two.
The man, then, who knows the secret of extracting laughter, does not live an utterly wasted life. Clowns may be a pretty superficial lot; but their mission is not entirely unworthy.
Most of us are fools, some of the time, if not all of the time. The only difference between us and Al Miao is that he admitted it, and used it to advantage. He put his gift of being a fool to serve others; the rest of us suffer for ours.
If ignorance is bliss, some Hill stuents must be delightfully contented
"MEAT"
The old cry is beginning to ring out over the hill and in the student districts. It is the cry of those who have taken upon themselves the welcoming of newcomers, the cry of those who in one short year have moved from the paddled to the paddlers.
Just what connection these indiscriminate paddles can have with the furtherance of loyalty to the University on the part of those paddles is hard to understand. Just how the paddlers, themselves, demonstrate their own loyalty is equally hard to comprehend. But is must be so. At any rate belief in the system is strong enough to send gangs of sophomores ranging the streets at night to search out freshman men, and officially paddle them into University membership.
There are traditions and traditions. If a freshman fails to conform to the time-honored custom of wearing the miniature freshman cap, or if he persists in violating any other accepted tradition, he merits the punishment which accompanies such violations.
But when he is guilty only of the sin of being a freshman, it seems only fair that he be given a chance to outlive that fault. He will outgrow it—in time.
And if consideration for the freshman, himself, is not sufficient to abolish this system, consideration for neighboring citizens and students should accomplish it.
"Meat," yelled by dozens of raucous voices down the streets at night is conductive neither to study nor to evening rest. It all seems a bit of child's play that could well be dispensed with.
No Oswald, you don't have to be on the football team to go to the varsity dances, although any experience you may have had along that line will be in your favor.

is the correct thing at the right time.
It pays to give credence to the brighter side occasionally.
The optimistic reports of European conditions are certainly fewer than their opposites, but they may be truer, too.
A NEW ASPECT
It is interesting, then, and gratifying to read that chaos does not reign complete, that the countries are rapidly progressing to peace and prosperity. Out of the globe that press reports indicate, and the pessimism that occasional travelers spread, come the report of one of the professors of our University that war and jealousy and hatred have given way in the mind of those harrassed peoples to peace and progress and balance.
After-war depression, national quarrels, race prejudices, petty jealousies, would be the order of the day in European countries if one were to believe prevailing reports.

Feature Styles for young men
When you buy your fall clothes you will want the smartest and latest style in model and fabric, but bear in mind the economy and satisfaction of better tailoring—that under-the-surface construction which adds so much to the appearance and lasting quality of good style.
A broad variety of pockets, palts, blubs, etc., is to be found under those diffi-ner types of pockets illustrated. Other types of pocks will fall in woolens prevail this Fall.
In Campus Togs youthful lines are emphasized whether it be in size 32 or 42, and the smart appearance of the wide variety of models is a designing achievement developed by an experience stretching over thirty-five long years of successful service.
