U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kamaan aims to picture the University's Kaaman to no further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas that it wants to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be a person with serious problems to water bodies; all in to serve to the best of its ability the needs of the community. THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1923 If the Standard Oil Company meets with any serious difficulties, will John D. have to quit giving his caddy ten cents tips? TALENT NIGHT Friday night a group of students, brought together from the ends of the earth, and representing fourteen of the great family of nations, will entertain the students and faculty of the University. Few of us realize that young men come to our campus from the far quarters of the earth, many of them in spite of difficulties that seem almost insurmountable. Talent Night offers us an opportunity to meet and know our fellow-students from other lands. The foreign student in our colleges today is to play *z* large part in determining a better understanding between America and the people of other lands in the years to come. We should take advantage of the opportunity offered us Talent Night to correct what false impressions we may have of other lands and our fellow students who come from them. The program is not for profit. A small part of the money will be put in the club library fund, but the remainder will go to the relief fund for European students. TEACUP TECHNIQUE Two burghers got nerves while pulling a job and allowed their revolvers to be discharged. They should not be so careless. The technique of the tea-cup is in bad repute. The cultivation of the art of polite conversation is frowned upon as a sign of shallow intellect. It is the accepted thing now to affect absolute disdain for the judgment of those college men and women who concentrate their time and energy upon participation in the social life of the campus. Those whose interests lie in no other direction than this are foolish. Many of use are just as foolish in going to the other extreme. For four years we climb the Hill daily. Four years of classroom routine is ended when we get our degrees. We get in a rut and our college life is just as drab as the monotonous routine of the factory worker. Then after we have been showed through the great educational machine that is the University, we go out into the world of affairs to take our place there as college-trained young men and young women. But the world is full of people and people are social beings. Our success will be determined, in a measure, by our ability to associate freely with those in refined society. The college graduate is supposed to be the social equal of any. He must be master of himself upon any occasion. He should know how to be an entertaining host and an interesting guest. The college women should know all the arts of the charming hostess. The life of the organization student may furnish some slight education in the social arts, but it is not sufficient. There is room for a comprehensive course in etiquette and the social conventions. It would fill up the hole in the college education. Not only would be a probable source of material success, but it would be worth much in terms of self-satisfaction and self-confidence. DEFENDING HARD-TACK As the well-known army food known as hard-tack has been abused before, after and during every war since it was invented, it is high time that some one offered a few words of defense for it. Now every one who has ever nibled hard-tack will admit that it has no appeal to the epicure. A cake of hard-tack cannot begin to compare with a salty soda cracker, but those who have eaten hard-tack when there was nothing else available assert that there might easily be worse foods. To begin with, hard-tack is not hard; that is, not so very hard. A chunk of it tastes for all the world like a slightly musty cracker that has been hardened by some secret process. It may be eaten in the raw state without great injury to the teeth, cynical jokes to the contrary notwithstanding. Many A. E. F. veterans remember times when his iron ration of hard-tack tucked like angel food cake. When the wolf was hanging around the door of the punt-ent, about five chunks of hard-tack, dipped and soaked in coffee, made a feed for the veteran that tasted better to him than then a banquet after he had been back home six months. The company cooks had another scheme for making hard-tack palatable. When that fat, salty army bacon had been fried for about three successive mornings, there was usually enough grease around to fill a horse tank. So when the cooks were short of other things they fried hard-tack in that salty bacon greece, and again the soldiers admitted that there might be worse chow. We hold no brief for hard-tack, and admit it is not a delicacy, but we believe in giving the devil his due. Those who have had old man Starvation come in and sleep with them will take hard-tack in preference to nothing, thank you. A moving picture corporation has gone bankrupt. K. U. students cannot be held responsible. LATE DECORATIONS Five years ago, Lt. Erwin B. Blockley was killed in action in France. On Monday his father, a Wichita banker, received the posthumous award of a congressional medal of honor—the highest decoration the United States can bestow. The war department has been lamentably slow in awarding decorations for service in France. Many living soldiers are yet receiving decorations, and it is possible that straggling awards will be made up to time for the next war. A medal meant something in 1918 and 1919. The war was fresh in everyone's memory then; the man who received one then was honored by all and sundry. The war is practically forgotten now. The man who is decorated five years after its termination is appreciative, of course; but he is not likely to be so appreciative as he would have been had he received it when the war spirit stirred all. The seemingly impossible has happened. The first transmission of photographs successfully by radio has taken place, and the inventor predicts that within a year he will be able to send motion pictures with the same device. PRESENT DAY MIRACLES The wildest flights of fancy of the Nineteenth century have been made actualities in the Twentieth. Jules Verne and other writers who penned weird tales some years ago about things which even they never believed could actually be now admit that most of their wild dreams have been raielized. It is getting so nothing is impossible. Inventive genius has a way of doing just about what it wills if given time enough, and the man who says: "Oh, they'll never be able to do this; they'll never be able to do that," had better rub the sleep out of his eyes. When photographs can be transmitted through thin air is time for the scoffers to take back seats. Official Daily University Bulletin Copr received by Florence R.

That is the sign tacked on the back of every freshman who does not obey the traditions at the University of Pennsylvania. At The Theater Bv Ben Hibbs VICTOR E. SOLBERG, Vice Chancellor, L. E. BAIRD, Jr., Ored Staff. Without doubt, one of the best bits of dramatic work that Lawrence people have seen this year! The characterized song "Hindu," presented last night at the Bowerrock. Among the productions brought here this year, some of them good and some mediocre, the show out as a bright spot of the season. The excellence of "The Hindi" is found not only in the enthralling mystery and romance of the play itself, not only in its gripping entertainment qualities, but also in the genuine artistry of the acting of Walker Whitleside and his troupe. Not always do the two roo hand in the palm, but often they help the kind that makes audiences forget that theater chairs have backs. The University of Chicago plans to drop athletics and social life and make graduate study and research more accessible in the school. Rigid entrance examinations will bar the frivolous and unfit, which will result in a reduction of 20%. The proposed limitation plan is expected to become effective next fall. All the mysterious charm and stately philosophy of the East are paraded across the stage; the theater-goer finds himself in the land of Kipling and Clive, and he revels in the atmosphere of old India and the richness of its culture. The story is founded upon the attempts of an Englishman to stir up a revolt against the British rule in India, thereby making a colossal but traitorous commercial enterprise of his own. Woven into the plot are the sinister religious fanciful songs and a disgruntled majority of an ancient civilization, and above all, the native feeling against the English order. Lights that flash suddenly, doors that softly and automatically swing open and shut, a quick-line pit for a heinous purpose, and a serpent in a strange way. The strange wonders of the East. Romantic, perhaps, and untrue in some details, but the situation is not so dark as it seems, that it detracts from the drama. All three acts were played in the same setting, but it was elaborately done. The beating of the tom-tom, together with the native singing and shouting in the court without, heightened the tensees of the situation. Only the highest praise is fitting for the work of Mr. Whiteside. His acting has about it a perfection that comes with long acquaintance with the stage and its ways. As Prince Charming, he often quirks a certain poise and dignity—a part that could be ruined quite easily by one with less ability. Mr. Whitseide does not make the mistake of all too many actors of his caliber. He not only relied altogether on his own work to "put across" the play, but carries with him a cast that is good. Especially did the acting of Miss Sydney Shields, as Clarice Cartwright, and that of Hasold De Becker, in the role of the Indian servant, please. Mr. Santos Robert, although appears on the screen for a short time, makes a profound impression on the audience. His was the part of a native priest. Plain Tales From The Hill The feature of the day, according to Ad's incipient spoutings, was a picture called "Fighting for Life and Liberty." In the third scene the hero entered the execution squad in front. Ad and his gang hung on to their seats. But they missed the last part of the film, because at that moment the management finished the word "Fire" on his helmet. It still made a hurried break for the exit. Ad Noyles the brilliant artist, tells a thrilling tale of his recent visit to the large city. Ad and his friends went to one of these here picture houses, and set down on the back row to enjoy the performance. Cap Garvin has the dope. The star forward on Carl's all-Valley team is qualifying for a detective's job. "I know a senior," says Cap, "in the law School. He has never had a late. I got pictures and affidavits on him. He was very nice, few days. I got, the real dope." ANNOUNCEMENTS The freshman,junior and senior-sophomore women's basketball games which, were scheduled for tonight have been postponed. The games will be rescheduled to a later form which has been erected on the floor can be cleared by that time.
