The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the future of Nauru, as Kaanan is to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the idle nations; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more resilient; to be more serious problems to water bends; all to serve to the best of its ability the people of Nauru.

A SUBJECT FOR STUDY
The constitution of the Men's Student Council might by a myth as far as actual student knowledge of its provisions is concerned. Most men on the campus know vaguely that there is such a thing, but they do not know definitely what it provides nor what the machinery is which it creates.
Soon the men of the University will be called upon to elect representatives to administer that constitution. The officers must perform certain specific duties. The electorate should be familiar with those duties as they are outlined in the constitution. The voters should know the vital things concerning the machine of student government for which they are to select drivers.
The constitution of the Men's Student Council may be found in the "K" book. This is the first year that it has been printed there, and it was done so that student could study it and secure an intelligent understanding of their own system of self-rule. Get out your "K" book and study that constitution.
Now that the Russians are clothed and Pi has been provided with a blanket, the department of journalism will turn its attention to founding a Society for Poisoning People Who Talk at Concerts.
CAMPUS ROADS
Weather conditions during the past week and the resulting state of campus roadways, serve as forele reminders that we need improvements in campus roads and that these improvements should begin in time to be completed before the University opens next fall.
With heavy rains, sleet, and snow,
an attempt to use the campus roadway
is a battle against a sea of sloppy
mud and water—all because of two
unpaved spaces between sections of
good concrete pavement.
If these strips of unpaved roadway are on the paving list for this year, let us hope that they will be taken care of before school convenes next fall so that we will not have to wade in the mud.
Has the riding school, recently established on the Hill, any connection with the pony-riding academy conducted by the department of ancient languages?
WOMEN AND GYM
University women are not, as a rule, enthusiastic in fulfilling the compulsory physical education requirements. There is a tendency to avoid the gymnasium classes as long as possible and the work is put off until the junior and senior years. This crowds the courses in those years at a time when the energies should be devoted to the other increased demands that come with the last two

years of the college course. A few put off the gymnasium work so long that they are not able to take the required amount and for this reason they fail to secure a degree.
University women are not averse to improving themselves physically. The tendency to avoid the gymnasmum classes is not the fault of the women. Neither is the fault with the department; it is with the equipment and general conditions.
The locker room is poorly ventilated. When a class for which there is inadequate locker room crowds together, the prospect of dressing is discouraging. The booths are hardly large enough for two and there are not enough of them. Many must wait or dress in the narrow aisles. The facilities for taking showers are only one-half what they should be. In some instances, even after swimming classes, there is a shortage of towels, which should be kept on hand and available after each class.
When we consider that the course in physical education is compulsory, it would seem that the conditions under which the work is taken should be made as attractive as possible.
The case of the Washington man whose memory returned after some bone was removed from his head is interesting. Must we now look upon the proverbial absent-minded professor as bone-headed?
The professor who invented the "lie detector" is to be hailed into court on charges of securing credit under false pretenses. When they get him on the stand, they ought to use his own machine on him.
RISKS OF PEACE
Engineering science has done much to drive away the shadow of death that is continuously at the elbow of the miner as he burrows deep in the depths of the earth. Sometimes months pass when death seems to have forsaken the shafts. Then suddenly the country is shocked into fearful remembrance by a great catastrophe in which hundreds are crushed or suffocated. We realize then that we are but toying with the great forces of nature and that human lives are the penalty we must pay because we do not understand those forces and cannot control them. In some of the deep mines of the eastern states, prayer services are held at the bottom of the shafts each morning before the men enter the chambers for their work. The workers stand with uncovered heads and pray that they may be spared. They are taking the risks that our modern industrial organization demands of men. Much has been done to eliminate risks in industry, but the fact remains that the risks of peace sometimes are as great as the risks of war.
COLLEGE DRAMATICS
COLLEGE DRAMATICS Among the members of the stage profession there has been a tendency in the past to bellittle college dramas and to ridicule those who attempt to enter the profession with experience on the college stage as their only recommendation.
This prejudice against the college actor is gradually melting away and experience on college boards is being accepted on its merits. A number of the histronic successes of the day started their careers on the college stage.
College dramatics provide a means to develop natural talent for acting without all the humiliations and reverses that attend the first attempts of the amateur in the profession. College experience cannot shield the beginner from all the rebuffs and discuragements, but it can alleviate their bitterness.
Dramatic work in college serves to weed out those who are merely stage-struck from those who have genuine talent. Those who do not have the requisite ability and temperament will soon find it out. For this reason, drama in college may tend to stem the flow of stage-strugh youth to the large theatrical centers and the resulting poverty and degradation that so often result.
Ten million dollars will be spent at Northwestern University for a new building of the skscaper form. It is estimated that bids for the superstructure will be about $145,000. The foundation will include all of the excavations, embankments, and sub-structured concrete elements.
For those who have talent but do not intend to make acting their life work, the college stage offers an opportunity for another side of life and goes to round out the education of one who takes part in them.
Three out of every four students attend college in their home state, according to Dr. George F. Zook, of the United States Bureau of Education, who has made a study of the colleges and universities of students. The proportion of students to population is greatest in states west of the Mississippi river, and lowest in the southern states. An estimate of students from foreign countries has been made for each state. 6,901 foreign students and 1,456 students from American possessions, making a total of 8,857.
On Other Hills
A series of new dormitories for women, arranged in a double quadrant and covering two blocks, will be built soon at Northwestern University. A women's building is to include a gymnasium and reception rooms is also included in the building program.
"Northwestern is our idea of the up-to-the-minute school. They now have a girls' rifle club. This seems to be the last word in the domestic science department where they are taught how to make guns and make the best of modern housewives," says the Denver University Clarion.
Classes in "How to Use the Library" have been organized at the University of Arizona.

Oliver Twist is a kind of tobacco and Mozart are a kind of cigars, according to answers to a questionnaire written in the University of Washington.
The University of Pennsylvania is now conducting four Egyptian expeditions to search into buried history where the tomb of Tutankhamun was recently found. The University has arranged the work of her excavators
