Lawrence, Kansas
Phone. K. I. 25 and 68
Entered as second-class mail matter Sep 1972, at the office of the Department, Kansas, under the act of S. B. A. 1937. Went to work in the Department for a week by student in the Department of Journalism from the grades of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kanza aims to picture the life of the African man and his duties in the Kanza; or no further than merely pricing the ones by staging for the ideals that define it; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to have more serious problems to wash heads; to all serve to the best of its ability the needs of the community.

THE BAREFOOT BOY
Off with the Egyptian clothes; on with the feathers and blankets; The National Geographic Society will unearth the old Indian Pueblos in New Mexico.
He was sitting on the stone curbing, an expression of absolute glee on his freckled features. Luxuriously, he swung his legs, occasionally running a grubby hand through a wild shock of brown hair.
No potentate garbed in cinnine and purple, and attended by a glittering coterie, ever revealed more completely in his glory than that boy.
For he was barefoot. Passers by remembered the good old days when it had taken two weeks of pleading before mother had finally consented, with the admonition to be careful and, "if it turned cold, to come right home and get on shoes and stockings."
But it hadn't turned cold, yet, and he wouldn't go home if it did. Just now, it was May and he was barefoot, and all the world was his.
DOWN WITH RECKLESS
DRIVER
An optimist is a student who thinks that his professor will not ask for reports on the reading he has assigned.
Of course we have our laws against bright lights which, in this case caused the trouble. But what is needed is some effective means of preventing the unfit and irresponsible from operating a car. It is a hard problem. Defects in nerves and temperament are not easily uncovered and diagnosed, and we have not arrived at a place where psychological tests will be accepted.
The automobile accident of last week in which a car was crowded off a bridge near Lawrence, injuring six people, makes one wonder what sort of insurance the public has against the eratic performance of some individuals who are subject to brain-storms, or nervous disorder, or a faintish impulse for daredevil tricks.
It would seem that in some way the unfit could be deprived of license on the basis of actual faulty performance. When an incompetent and reckless driver is found he should be made to know by actual means that irresponsibility is never safe. Offenders should be brought to time.
The pedestrian and the safe and sane automobile need some assurance of their safety, something that should be possible in America.
THE DUTY OF THE ALUMNUS
What connection remains between the alumnus and his Alma Mater after the sheepskin is awarded? It is right that he seal all ties immediately upon taking up his life outside the collegiate world?
Obligations usually increase, responsabilities mount, other interests dominate, when one has left school. There seems little time, to give more than a passing thought, and occasionally an evening's reminiscence to the old days.
But, the institution wherein the person was educated has a more direct
connection in the life of that individual. He is bound to it by all the ties of early associations. Yet he so often forgets.
Many times, it is true, he will send back his children to that school, actuated by some vestige of sentiment, but many times he doesn't. The new classes in that school are comprised of entirely new people, young people without a tradition behind them.
In new and growing America, there is little time for tradition. History has proved that honor systems are built up, great forward movements are made, great minds are developed in those institutions where membership is an honor, and where a well-defined tradition behind them sets every student striving to be worthy of his school.
No situation of sort can exist where there is not active alumni support. One man, or two men, or a hundred men cannot do it. It takes the combined activities and interest of every graduate. In that way only can there be a living bond between the school of the old days and the school of the present, and in that way only can the school of the old days prosper and develop.
Much of this does not apply to institutions supported by the state but the principle is the same. The State University represents the institution of high learning in the state. In the hands of the alumni of that institution lies the possibility of its becoming a vital force in educational circles, or of its remaining a mediocre institution, supported by the state, and including in its student body those who "didn't know where else to go."
Every alumnus owes it to his Alma dater to support it in every enterprise. He has taken something from in his four years of collegiate life and he owes it its active support and interest in later years when he no longer has need of its help. Turn bout is only fair play.
Pediatric
SHE LOVES FLOWERS
Radio is proving to be a boon to the semi-deaf, who now can appreciate and understand lectures. Why not try it in a few of the lecture classes at the University?
The girl who "just loves flowers" tripped down Oreand avenue from the campus where she had filled her arms with iliacs. At the house she put them in vases and scattered them about in her room and those of her friends.
For a few hours the house was redolent with their fragrance. Then she forgot to change the water in the vases. The lilies illowed. They were thrown in the asbx along with the tin cans and orange peelings.
Up on the Hill the iliacs that had escaped her hand caught the light of the evening sun. But the girl who "just lives flowers" will come again and pick them. They cannot escape the alley.

COMMITTEE ON COMMERCIAL EXHIBITS;
The University of Washington's first motion picture library has been started. A local theater in Seattle has given the school a film, which cost a thousand dollars to take, and which contains scenes of campus activities and student leaders. This movie is at home on *homecomings*, at alumni meetings, at university occasions. The idea of a motion picture library for a college is a comparatively new one and the University of Washington is well up in the list

It has been the custom of the Iowa City merchants to give prizes to athletes who have starred in some way or other in the particular branch of sport that they are competing in. The favors have been in the form of trophies, medals, and season passes to movies and musical other prizes. The athletic board at the University of Iowa has decided that giving of prizes will be done only with its consent. There is a rule in the hand book of athletics which states that any athlete accepting rewards for participation in prizes will be considered a professional. It was on this account that the Board took this action.
E. N. MANCHESTER, Chairman.
Friday and Saturday of last week marked the beginning of a custom which will probably continue throughout the history of the institution, when for the first time in the seventh grade Miss threw her doors wide open in welcome to the "Mothers of Mississippi." The whole campus had put on its finest vesture to welcome these dearly beloved guests and the small children who expressed the pleasure that their coming had brought to Ole Miss.
A little device to test the curiosity of university students has been installed in a room at the University of Minnesota. It is a card about three inches wide and six inches long tacked to the wall and on the card are two stamps showing "UNDER THIS CARD." Nearly 40 different persons entered the room during a ten-day period and of those 40, 36 looked under the card, two did not see it, one intended to look but was interrupted, and only one rerained from doing the forbidden act. The 36 people who lifted the card were under it seemed quite surprised as there was a mirror underneath.
