THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kannas
Phones. K. U. 25 and 66
Entered, as second-class male matter Sep-1976, at the Department of Education, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1897. Won a scholarship from the department and study by students in the Department of Journalism, Kansas, from the grades of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kanan aims to picture the students of University hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more worried about serious problems to wiser hands; in so doing to enable its ability the students of the University.
MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1923
The drive on dad's pocketbook is on. Spring style shows are opening.
THE TREACHEROUS KAW
Every year the muddy Kaw takes its toll of victims—always one and sometimes more—and the first to sink to its depths this year was William T. Dunn, a student of journalism, who was drowned Saturday. Seldom a year passes but that students and townpeople are drowned in it.
Only those who are excellent swimmers should venture out upon this seemingly peaceful river. It has treacherous whirlpools and currents, as have all rivers, and it has many deep holes which may be cut in a shallow place in a few hours by swirling currents. No river is safe—no body of water, for that matter—and those who take the risk must be at all times prepared for eventualities.
The recent cold spell must have been nothing short of disgusting to the merchant who, assuming the summer season was at hand, had already placed his stock of furs on display.
The death of a student, either by sickness or by accident, is an irreparable loss to the University. A thousand and students come at the beginning of each year, and a thousand students go at its end, but the few who leave us midway never to return are to be forever mourned. The world bows with grief at the death of youth.
The place that William Thomas Dunn filled with his comrades is vacant today, and he is missed by them. His death is a loss to the whole University, and we join in mourning his untimely end. The entire student body grieves with the bereaved parents and relatives.
OUR TRACK TEAM
Again K. U. owns the valley, Leaving every rival, save Nebraska, far behind in the Missouri Valley Conference meet Saturday, the Jayhawker stands supreme here in the realm of track.
We owe a tribute to our men who have worked to make this thing possible. We owe them our gratitude, our support, and our encouragement for the great track events to come next month. It is due to their efforts and those of an untriring coach that "K. U. owns the valley."
THE LAST STAND
Out in the rock-bound and sand-strewn deserts of Utah, Old Posey, a belligerent Piute chief, is causing the white men trouble. The old chiefhain has sworn he will never be taken alive, and as the result of a recent uprising near Blanding, Utah, he is hiding from a sheriff's posse.
This is probably the last stand that the Red Man will ever take against the white man, and it is well. Yet for all the cruelty that Indians have shown whites who fell into their hands during the three centuries of the struggle for supremacy, the Indians have been mistreated and misjudged.
As fast as the savage tribes were conquered they were placed on reservations, and on these they had a chance to be reasonably happy. Yet
as soon as the whites had used up the lands surrounding the reservations, they began to cast avaricious eyes upon the reservations themselves. The result was that tribe after tribe was driven from its lands and forced to make a new home elsewhere.
An instance of this sort occurred in Kansas. In the early days, while Kansas was yet a territory, the Kaw tribe was given an ample reservation here. The whites soon found, however, that the lands held by the Kaws were desirable. The consequence was that the entire Kaw tribe was moved overland to a veritable desert in Oklahoma, many of its members dying on the way, others dying after they arrived. There might, however, be poetic justice in the fact that oil has been struck recently on the Kaw lands in Oklahoma.
The Red Man wasn't always "noble," as romantic novelists would have us believe, but even in the savage state he exhibited a civilized trait—he fought for his rights. He protested against invasion of his dominations, and he should have been treated decently after he was conquered.
The Chicago attorney who refrens from suicide because shooting is so "mussy," could learn something from the movies. There are lots "nicer" ways of killing oneself.
FAIR REPRESENTATION
The women of the University have been accused of voting at the elections on the campus without knowing the candidates or of not voting at all because they do not know the candidates, both accusations being brought forward as serious objections to the present system of elections.
To meet these points and with a hope of raising the status of politics on the hill, a plan has been proposed and possibly will be tried at the coming elections to the Women's Student Government Association.
There is to be a mass meeting of all women of the University to consider changes in the constitution of the W. S. G. A. At this meeting it has been suggested that the candidates of both parties be present so that the women may meet them and that they may voice any plans or policy for which they intend to stand.
So often a person is known by sight and not by name, and again a name is often recognized but is not associated with the owner's face. This plan will afford an opportunity for the names and faces of the candidates to be associated and will make the election much more independent and democratic.
Such a mass meeting has never been held on the campus. There have been meetings called by either party at which their respective candidates talked, but this place offers a fair presentation and equal representation to both parties.
If the mass meeting is well attended the problem of politics is half solved, for out of this plan may grow a united move for a cleaner and more efficient program. If it is not well attended there will be no room for criticism of those elected, nor will there be cause for any one to come to the polls without knowing each one of the candidates.
The plan is fairer to the candidate.
It is fairer to the voter.
With the world in the strained atmosphere that it has been in for the past few years, all of our holidays and festivals have taken on a new aspect. Perhaps the tinge of gray has become less dense as the time since the World war increases and yet there are so many things in the world that have to be settled, that man is in a constant turnoff.
Easter comes early this year; the festival of birth, new life, the glimpse of heaven on the hillspots. What can it mean to the starving Russians or to the tormented Armenians? Do people find in it a hideous mockery of their daily horrors? Do they find in it only the hollow shell of a worn out faith? And what shall we Americans find of our old ardor in the Resurrection?
EASTER MESSAGE
The answer comes from across the sea. Man has failed. Old systems have melted away. Old ideals have proved false. Every human code has proved weak. Every known sacrilege has been committed. Yet the
stricken people have turned toward the Almighty and have found Him. They are able to endure their suffering in His sight.
This is the answer to our cynicism.
This is our Easter message. There is no such thing as real atheism. The human mind is so constituted that it cannot conceive a world without God or death without rebirth. Wars cannot quench faith, nor fires destroy it, nor hatred taint it. The more that humans fail us, the closer do we come to God.
The unemployment situation is terrible. Our beloved Rudy, the Shiek, is out of a job, and is forced to travel in a special Pullman with only a dozen attendants.
Bids will be received soon after April Fool's day for the installation of a baker system and towel service. The baker system is adjacent to the new power plant.
Plain Tales From The Hill
With the blasting going on in the to-be basement of the new library, each explosion shakes something else off of the only-to-fragile journalism building. Professor Flint's office is expected to be chucked into the steam shovel at any minute and tossed gently over Fraser Hall.
No rum runner has been sunk off the coast of Lake Potter, according to Captain Garvin of the External Revenue Forces. The barrels which are floating near the shore are only the remains of a last summers water party, he reports, after a careful investigation.
The Piggy Wiggy motto was woh observed by the Saint Louis business men who "help themselves" when the market was right.
The class in advanced steam show,
operating will meet tomorrow afternoon
at three for a trial run around the
Journalism building.
They certainly are here. There is no doubt about it when you see them. And this isn't an ad. Just happened to stumble upon a book that are adorning the "fair co-ads" nowadays. Spring causes many tummy things to happen. Wonder if that is the cause of the peculiar older down syndrome, or just lips of many of the Oread gallantts?
Looks as though the market **10**
England for used and unused red hunting ought to be good for a flourish.
Oh dear, we saw the last man on this job take his watch, while on the copy desk, and try to find the count on a headline by the use of it. We fear the same shattering effect will be had upon our last thread of reason before the time is up. Help! Help! Help!
On Other Hills
The Purdue Memorial Union campaign made much progress in the last year, according to a letter received by Stadium-Union officials here. Reports from the recapitulation snow that 800 students served on committee work and over $4,000 were reached at different times by Union activities.
Several conventions were given under the direction of the committee and different organizations. These conventions were important and proved very effective. The Union office was in charge of a student at all hours of the day. This method of introducing students to activities is found very successful.
Claiming that 600 students flunked out of the University of Iowa because of inadequate training in high schools, a state representative introduced a bill in the house providing for two courses of study in high school and a clause prohibiting interscholastic contests between high schools of that state, according to the Daily Iowan.
Colorado State College of Agriculture and Mechanics Arts will, end three men to the Pacific coast, who will meet the following colleges in a series of debates: College of the Pacific, Gonzaga University, the University of Southern California, and Pomona College, Claremont, Cal.
University of California students who indiscretely paid from $12.50 to $30 for very choice English and Scotch cloth to a supposed Scotch mate of a British sailing vessel, found out later that the same material could be purchased across the bay for $7.50 wholesale.
Red hair is essential to becoming a member of a new club at Colorado State College. Seven red-haired students join the club and it is open to both sexes.

How often do you respond 'when the name of "John", "Bill", "Mary", or "Helen" is called on the campus? At the Oregon Agricultural College the statisticians have taken the trouble to note that nominally "John" is the most common appellation on the campus—116 of him there. Consequently, John is the most "William" and "James" are close runners-up for third and fourth places respectively. "William" is common to the extent of eighty-on, and "James" numbers seventy-six. "Helen" appears fifty times, "Mary"
