The Daily Kaira wants to picture the undergraduate study of an Iranian man. He studies the language he is studying and draws the elites in the field to his home; to be cleaned; to be chaired; to be a member of a serious problem to water bodies; in a more active position at the university; in the students of the University.

THE SCHOOL OF RELIGION
More men are trying out for the band this year than ever before, due to the increased price of student activity tickets.
However people may differ as to the definite ill of the world, however they may argue as to the precise menace to the peace of the human race, they all admit that we live in an age of unrest, where questions arise on every phase of life, and where thinking is too often unaccompanied by reason.
Granting that, then, one of the fundamental things to be done is to provide ballast, to offset this confusion and unrest by educational knowledge, and straight thinking.
The matter of religion is one of those most seriously disputed. Much of the confusion comes about through lack of knowledge of the whole questioning. In a period when questioning is rife, we sometimes fail to determine just why we are questioning.
The student may be truly bewildered, but he may understand that bewildering better, though he may not succeed entirely in removing it, if he knows a great deal more about the subject.
The small enrollment in the School of Religion establishes the fact that the students have failed to realize its advantages. It is a worthy enterprise, and one of the finest contributions that the students can make toward a readjustment of the unsettled conditions about them is to support any project which points toward a solution of the problem.
The School of Religion, an accredited school on our campus, offers the advantages of this greater education. Courses in that school may not settle all the student's questions. But they will give him the background he needs in any serious consideration of the matter.
It is up to the students of this University to support the School of Religion by enrolling in it.
Journalists are lamenting the disappearance of the editorially popular "dapper." Cheer up; we still have with us that over-present drain on man's financial and mental resources, the "gold digger."
TEMPTERS
The men who represent our University on the football field are little different from the thousands of other students who do not play. They may possess greater physical perfection; they may have the great physical and moral courage that an athlete must have; but they are best by all the little vanities of the non-athlete.
They like to do the things that every normal individual likes to do; restrictions, even during the training period, irk them quite as much as they do any other individual.
But they, out of loyalty to the University, voluntarily offer to represent the school, and to abide by the rules laid down by authorities who know that late hours, unwive eating, and such things seriously affect the individual.
The loyalty of the non-athlete does not begin and stop with buying enterprise posting the team, and joining in by the "Dork Clank." He can
joining in the "Rock Chalk." He can make training, rules easier for the show by helping him to keep them, or by tempting him to tempt him to top over the line.
For after all, the football player is human, and it is often hard enough to comply with regulations which do not affect his friends, without the added difficulty of having those same friends thrust temptation in his way.
If you don't believe that the high schools of Kansas are the best in the country, just ask any freshman about his Alma Mater.
DO YOU BELONG?
News comes that a new American monthly review attempting "to maintain the point of view of the civilized minority" will be produced during the coming months by George Jean Nathan and H. L. Menken. This magazine "The American Mercury" will be the latest word in typography, make-up, and contents. It is heralded widely as a distinct event in the world of literary reviews.
Produced by the two men, who are its co-editors, it will assuredly be the latest word. It is generally granted that those two men are doing much to inspire the youth of America to independent and creative thinking. All that is granted.
But who comprise the "civilized minority?" How is one to know whether or not he may be included in that brotherhood? Is a reader to be qualified for it or not, according to whether or not he happens to like what is printed in "The American Mercury?"
All of us, perhaps, find ourselves more or less in the minority. Most of us like to believe we are civilized. But when we consider "civilized minority" as used by Mr. Nathan, and Mr. Mercken, we begin to wonder.
Perhaps Mr. Mencken and Mr. Nathan will stipulate before the first magazine is produced just what it meant. We should be sorry, indeed, to aspire to a position to which we are not entitled.
IN THE CAUSE OF SCIENCE
It looks like a good year for Hill social activities. Every sorry sorority a dozen or more pledges, "all darling girls." "Here's hopin'."
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
THE CAUSE OF SCIENCE
The scientistisk studies—and sometimes gives—his life in the cause of research for knowledge is a fact brought poignantly to mind by the reported rumor of the loss of the United States Geological Survey expedition, of which Raymond C. Moore of the University was a member. The party disappeared in the yawning mouth of one of nature's greatest and awesome works, the Grand Canyon of the Colorado, several weeks ago. Today, an overturned boat, bearing the initials "U. S. G. S.", shot down the treacherous rapids of the river, speaks eloquently of the hardships encountered, and perhaps, though not probably of the party's fate.
The Grand Canyon of the Colorado will be geologically mapped out. Research work in every branch of the Multiple sciences will be carried on by those who are almost pillanthropic in their selfishness. The world will enjoy the fruits of their labor, and continue, blissfully ignorant, to live more efficiently, more luxuriously with no thought of the genesis of its comfort.
Meanwhile, a party of geological explorers is lost. A flighty public is yawning over its evening newspaper, and vavuely wondering what a group of foolish scientists is doing a mile below the surface of the earth.
Wonder why the new dormitory wasn't named after the dean of women? After all, "Husband Hall for Girls" may not be as misleading as it seems.
THE LURE OF A PATH
It may be a queer little twisted one; it may be a broader well-worn one; it may follow over the crest of a hilil until it converges into a mere point on the horizon; it may vanish in the depth of the woods.
But it is a path, and it holds a mystic fascination. If it is little
