Entered as second-class mat matter student at the University of Kansas, under the set of March 1, 1875 and September 20, 1876, by students in the Department of Journalism at the University of Kansas, from the journal of *Journalism* (October 1875).
Subscription price, $2.50 in advance for the first nine months of the academic year; $2.00 for one semester.

The Daily Kanaan says to picture the undergraduate students further than merely printing the news by standing for them or offering advice; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to solve serious problems to winter hands; in being an expert in its ability the students of the University.
FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1923
Freshman at the University on Iowa must wear green caps the entire year. We can identify them here without the cap.
CLASS SPIRIT
Class spirit at K. U. is almost at the vanishing point. We scarcely know what it means. The freshman class rarely holds a meeting. The sophomores do not think of it. The Juniors usually see little need for one. The seniors must meet to organize for the activities of commencement week. When a class meeting is called only a small part of the class membership attends.
Interclass basketball does not get the support it should receive. The team substitutes and personal friends of the players do most of the cheering. Most of the members of the class do not know whether their team wins or loses. The freshman-sophomore Olympics is the only demonstration of class spirit and it was difficult to organize the Olympics this year.
Class spirit is a good thing. It adds to University spirit. Monday is class day. The four classes meet separately during convocation hour. Here is an opportunity to demonstrate loyalty to your class. Attend the meeting of your class and have a voice in making its decisions. It is your duty.
Yesterday and today behind Snow Hall the ring of axes biting their way through the living hearts of trees disturbed the peace of the spring day. The excited twitter of birds who failed to understand the anomaly of branches inert upon the ground made a obligatto to the chop, chop of the axes. Sickeningly, cruelly, they fall those living things which for so many years have listened for the coming of spring and have heralded it with their glowing green. This year they will listen in vain; their beauty has been sacrificed to the god of utilitarianism.
THE TRACK TEAM
Tonight the track squad representing the University of Kansas will meet the Missouri team in the annual dual meet. Kansas will do her best to win and "dop" gives us a little better than an even break. What if Kansas does win? A momentary glorification down in Kansas City over the vanquishing of our ancient foe, and the matter will probably drop. At Lawrence the majority of students condescend to smile and say, "Oh yes we beat Missouri."
One ardent supporter of athletics advances the idea that the new order of learning is responsible for the npathy of the student body regarding winning athletic teams. He attributes the lack of appetite to prolonged hours of study. Such is not the case. Perhaps the recently completed basketball season instilled in us a belief that victory is inevitable. This is a good spirit, but it must be backed up with a genuine enthusiasm. If you are not in the crowd at Convention Hall tonight to help the team beat Missouri, give the team the glad hand when they get back and show them that we appreciate what they do for the honor of the Crismon and the Blue.
CHEATING MADE EASY
When scholastic dishonesty is discussed it is usually considered synonymous with student dishonesty. The student is the one who cheats; he is the one who needs to be reformed; he is the "problem."
The student does present the biggest part of the problem, but there is one angle that is often overlooked. That is the part some members of the faculty play in encouraging scholastic dishonesty among students.
In many lecture courses, sets of notes taken one semester or the year before are always good. The professor makes no changes in his lectures. It may be that the lectures contain everything that is needed; they may not be changed without impairing their value. There is also the possibility that the professor is in an academic rut and shrinks from the labor entailed in revising his lectures. Many professors give the same sets of library readings every time they go through a course.
The natural result of this is that the lecture notes and library notes of previous classes are in demand. The student character should be strong enough to resist this temptation, but it is not.
Student dishonesty in scholastic matters is essentially a problem for student solution, but here is one place where the faculty can lend a hand.
The only thing that would make us want to be president, is the thought that we could only just once, just once, 'eto a plumber's bill.
WHAT WE NEED
The amazing ignorance of the college undergraduate regarding public affairs and the issues of the day has been demonstrated many times. Questions designed to find out student knowledge of current events and the problems that the world faces today, have brought from undergraduates answers that show a startling fund of misinformation.
To relieve lamentable conditions of the student mind, many of the eastern colleges have instituted courses in the issuers of the day. The success of the courses offered during the war on the issues of the conflict, provided the germ from which this new course has developed.
The course deals with big national and international questions that are occupying the attention of the peoples of the world. World events are interpreted in terms of motives and relations which cannot be discerned through a cursory reading of the daily press.
The course develops an interest in the affairs of the day that is maintained after leaving college. It is a big step toward making the kind of future citizen who has an intelligent understanding of the problems that he must come in contact with in discharge of his duties as a citizen.
At Columbia University where the course is made compulsory for freshman, it has been very successful. Students coming back from professional schools say they profited more from it than from any of their undergraduate courses. Kansas students could profit from such a course.
The practical joke that of fun is to furnish a newspaper with false notice of weddings and engagement men will find his conception of humor put him behind the prison in Minnesota. The legislature of that state has passed a law which makes it a midemioner to willfully furnish a newspaper a false statement.
New York intends to immortalize Frank Bacon by naming alley "Bacon Alley" in his honor. Now who will immortalize the thousands of amam actors?
A sense of humor is the spice of life, but the practical joke usually has little sense of what is genuine humor and what is not. To him a thing is funny if it causes embarrassment and humiliation to another. The one who practices so called "practical jokes" upon others cannot see anything humorous when he receives his own prescription. It's a good joke if it isn't on him, but with this Minnesota law in force the joke will be on him.

Harry Fox is one of those rare comedians who, through some peculiar power, seem to be able to make their audiences laugh. Their audience applauds lines that from lesser lights would be pointless. Harry Fox is truly funny; he adds much to the life and spirit of the musical, which can be given at the houserock last night.

Art Review
By Melba Parker
All of the canvases are framed in very lovely polychrome frames, whose rose and blue tints harmonize quite well with the delicate moods of the pictures.
The skies of John Carlson in this latest, and perhaps best, of our ex hibits, are not canvas skies—they are real skies, and we do not have to make ourselves comfortable in spite of ourselves. They are tender, bright blue skies with the huge wool-pack clouds of June. There are the misty, greenish-gray skies of early spring. There are the brassy, purple skies of autumn twilight. There are the heavy, leaden colored skies of snowy winter. They are skies we know, skies that we remember from untold experiences. Even the cloud formations are true, and they them with a feeling of familiarity.
Carlson has some rather wonderful light effects in "Fleeting Shadows." Here the transitory beams have for their effect windows, low-lying trees, and above them, a patch of brilliant blue sky. In "Stormy Twilight" he has been able to reproduce that rather ghastly yellow glow that makes the trees so startlingly just before a storm.
Carlson is a snow painter, it seems, for over half of the twenty-five studies are of snow. For this reason, the exhibit, as a whole, presents a strong tendency toward the cold colors, blue, green or mountain "Mountain Hamlet" and "Wintry Groves" is there a warm deal of warm color, "Ice-bound River" is a study in cold colors that is made bright by the very vivid green fires in the foreground, and in the background in light green in the background.
Many of the pictures are night scenes, and again Carlson has been able to make us feel the reality of the scene by his careful use of color. His spring dusk is minty blue. His autumn dusk is purple. His snowy dusk is greenish with orange twilight. His autumn dusk "has a quality of other wistfulness and lonely mixed in its pigments that stirs the heartstrings.
Carlson is a careful workman and is a sparing' user of medium. His canvases will stand up under intense scrutiny both as examples of impressionistic truth and of excellent craftmanship.
MELBA PARKER and CHARLOTTE AIKEN, Editors.
"Winter Hickories" and "Spring Morning" are two interesting studies of the same scene—the former gray and white, the latter silver green.
osylipilie repartee have no intrinsic eleverences about it. But when Harry Fox says it's it's funny. His little mannering, the blank expression that sometimes takes possession of his features, and his ridiculous, foolish grim—all these may partially explainations are given, nothing has been said except that Harry Fox is Harry Fox.
"Oh! Look!" is not a big production. The cast is limited, and the scenes and episodes are fewer in number than those found in the programs of recent musical comedies. This last characteristic, without doubt, adds rather than detracts from the show. A musical comedy that is too long easily becomes a chapel song. This last eight maintained throughout that vigor and fun which people demand when they attend a show of its nature.
Although the company boasted no solo voices of particular merit, the chorus was rather pleasing, and the chorus was also great deal to the comedy. Dancing
acts were noticeably lacking, and that, of course, was disappointing to many of the audience.
The costumes were elaborate, and those in the Cinderella scene were particularly quaint and beautiful. The setting of Act II, representing a Spanish Perona of a Long Island castle, is remarkable for its effect death.
