The Daily Karen aims to picture the drama of a situation. The Karen is to further than merely printing the events by standing for the elimination of the scenario; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be caring; to be serious and to have serious problems to other hands; all to serve to the need of its ability to respond appropriately.

The laws of supply and demand never seem to work together. Now just when this endurance dancing craze is on with its accompanying mortality in shoe soles, the shoe workers in Massachusetts go on strike.
WHAT?S THE MATTER WITH K. U.?
What is wrong with our Alma Mater? The raising of this question now with the present status of things at this University, seems impertinent, or at least, uncalled-for criticism. One denies that within the past two or three years the administration has been typical of a definite forward movement. We've done our best to shout it to the state.
In athletics, unlooked for results have been brought about by student, faculty and alumni support in the Memorial campaigns. Activities, which are open to a great deal of criticism, not in their nature, but in their numbers, are being regulated by newly endowed powers, Dean Dyer and Dean Blitz, who are sincerely co-operating with the Chancellor in an endeavor to aid the student. Lastly, but by far the greatest in importance, is the raised standard of scholarship. And it is this that raises the question.
There must be something wrong with this institution when ten per cent of its students are sent home at the end of one semester, simply because they fail to meet the minimum requirements. There are evidently other things lacking, when we are ranked almost half way down the list of the universities in this country, although our students, faculty and alumni show univided enthusiasm and spirit.
That "something" is the general attitude or atmosphere felt on the campus. A freshman comes here with an earnest anticipation that his four years in college are going to be four years of real gain in knowledge.
But does he find it? He finds the sophomore an indifferent individual, college-wise, here to "get by" in some activity. He finds the junior just beginning to wake up to what he slept through in his sophomore year. He finds the senior working his head off, almost too late, in order that he may find a job when he gets his degree.
It all bolg down to this—we know what we are here for, but we allow that conviction to be eclipsed by the over-rated importance of activities and social life. The campus is "overactivited," and the importance attached to student committees, student politics, social life, and we'll say even to athletes, must give way to a greater importance of study before we have an institution of real educational callibre.
And outside of school circles, we have other influences to reckon with, the state legislature, the people of the state, and competing schools. We have been told that in certain communities the University of Kansas is looked upon as a center of social rot and a haven of spenders—a false impression, surely, but one given out by the false attitude on school life now present. We had not realized it.
The administration has taken a forward step. It is up to the student to step with it.
One lightd gas jet burns as much air as four ordinary people or one book agent. But the book agent can create enough hot air to make a gas heating jet unnecessary.
WAR IMPLEMENTS
"If at midnight France should declare war against England, London might be in ruins by noon tomorrow," writes a British author. It is true that General Foch would not have to pace back and forth praying for favorable winds to blow him across the channel as Napoleon did. Great motors would ceaselessly ply back and forth from military posts to harbor, airplanes would soar high in the air carrying powerful explosives, and might ships would patrol the oceanways on the look-out for the enemy. Yes, we are living in a modern age where as ever before the old "survival of the fittest" standards are among the strongest theories.
It is interesting to America and especially to Great Britain that France has 3000 trained Gallic fliers at her command to ride the smooth running 1200 French airplanes, prepared for instantaneous military service. Great Britain has but 400 planes at her immediate disposal. England has three ships to France's two.
In summing up results of the world war it does not seem that the world was so badly hurt. Things seem to be in pretty fair shape after all. Germany is undergoing a little misfortune just now, but the French, Belgians, Turks, Russians and other minor countries are waging war. No, the world is not worry of strife and blood shed. The world like it and the dragon must be fed. As long as we have countries with greatest ocean-going fleets, with nations having 1200 equipped military airplanes, with countries warring, and others preparing for war we cannot have peace. The world doesn't know a good thing when it sees it.
The daily promesa of women of the Hill makes a person think that all of Tut-Ankhi-Amen's widows must have been resurrected.
IMPRESSIONS
Contrary to the general belief, first impressions are not always the most lasting, an omnist psychology explains that the first impression is the only one.
We are, fallaciously, always striving to create "good," first impressions. We suppose that, like a vaccination, the continuance of a friendship rests to a large degree with the initial conception which the other obtains of one character, our eccentricities, our outward appearance. There, the striving to create impressions stops, it seems. Little attention is given to subsequent meetings. The die has been cast; nothing can change the outline, the design originally made, we think.
And there lies the fallacy. For the ultimate idea implanted in an acquaintance's mind depends, to a much greater extent, upon our every-day actions, speech, and appearance. An impression of an individual is a matter of growth from day to day.
Mannerisms, mere remarks, our general bearing all contribute to that intangible thing termed "impression." They are an index to one's character; they unconsciously go to create, build up, the mental image of the individual in another mind.
If the contributing factors in one's make-up are not later consistent with the first general idea implanted, the first impression vanishes, and the formulation of the exact character is begun anew.
A contemporary tells us that the prosperity peak is not yet in sight. All agree. The foot of the peak is not in evidence to any one on the Hill yet.
First impressions are important, but they are negligible in comparison with the value of subsequent impressions.
Sunday's dispatches carry the news that activity has increased in the Burkhan oil field. That means a new activity in the Sucker field.
Now comes a Spiritualist who claims the spirit of his departed wife talks to him. What! Is there no peace after death?

College students in England probably carry the sport of "rangaging" to further extremes than in any other country, says an associated professor at Leeds University. The service of Lloyd George, former prime minister, as chancellor of Edinburgh University. The whole day was taken by the faculty took as a matter of course.
Herbert Asquith, another former prime minister, was to make a speech at Cambridge University recently, and the students of this institution "framed" a plot to kidnap him, motor to Rayston, and give a dinner in honor of Mr. Asquith. The plot miscarried, but the fact that Mr. Asquith had been a prime minister was not the reason the plot was not carried out.
