The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Toronto, and to inform the news by standing for the ideas he wishes to be clear; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to water huddles in; to improve his ability to the students of the University.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1923
A California professor says that the shape of the nose determined success. That's probably why there are so many kinds of success.
SHOW YOUR STUFF
The plan of giving prospective candidates for cheerleader a chance to display their abilities is a good one. But Friday night at the basket-ball game no one came forward to demonstrate his goods.
It should not be so. If they are not able to voice a preference through working with cheerleader candidates, the nomination will be left to the political parties. This tryout plan is one way by which the students may have a voice in the nomination. If a candidate makes good in the try-outs, partisan ambition will assure that candidate a nomination. If it does not, his demonstrated qualifications will insure him a strong chance as an independent candidate.
If you think you would make a good cheerleader, you owe it to the University to accept this offer of a tryout. If you think your friend has the qualifications, urge him to try out. Don't let modesty stand in the way if you feel that you can deliver the goods. You will find the crowd sympathetic and willing to co-operate with you. Come on. You will be judged fairly.
The French say they will stay in Germany a thousand years if necessary. Leave it to Grutchen and they'll come back singing "Deutschland" Ulber Alles."
DOZING AGAIN
America is asleep again! Annote, war seems to be brewing in Europe, and the people of this country gaze unconcernedly upon the spectacle. Of course, there is no danger of America becoming mixed up in the affair; Neither was in 1917—until the thing actually happened.
We sometimes lose our patience when foreigners tell us we are so thoroughly wrapped up in "our America" that we can see nothing else. But perhaps there is more truth in it than some of us suspect. Is the love of country as a powerful drug to the American people, or is our isolation such that we simply can not come to think of ourselves as an integral part of the world?
It was so in 1914 and the years that followed until the United States declared war. American citizenry looked upon the conflict as a great and terrible drama played in a vast theater; to them it was unreal—no more a part of their lives than the plot of a play.
The lesson was a grim one, and yet today scarcely five years after its culmination, it is apparently forgone by many. Again the American citizenry looks upon the world and its troubles, and connects them not at all with its own welfare and that of its country. The thing is removed and distant; war could not entangle America; those who hint at such a thing are jingoists and "calamity howlers."
It is not that we are not interested in Europe's difficulties; that our concern is great is demonstrated by the comprehensive news reports of the situation. But our interest is of exactly the same type as that we should display at a presentation of our favorite drama. The thing is interesting to watch and discuss, but it is not our problem. And we remain aloft.
What is it that will awaken the people of America? Will it take another lesson more severe than the last to teach Americans to think internationally—to convince them that they are citizens of the world?
Like the proverbial worm, the oung man's fancy will soon begin to tarn, etc.
KING GEORGE AND JIGGS
Talk about personal liberty! Never,
since that memorable day when more
man was first permitted to sally
forth without suspenders, has the
Great Cause received such a boost!
And King George V is the hero.
It seems the "king of Great Britain and Ireland, and the British dominions beyond the seas" says his corned beef and cabbage. (What a setback to the illustrious Maggie if Jiggs ever finds that out!) You don't believe it? Well it may be a sin, but facts are facts.
According to the press dispatches, the mess sergeant for the British Royal family put in an order for sixty-four cases of Fort Worth corned beef back in 1918. It never arrived, or if it did, Queen Mary disposed of it before the king got a chance to sample it in the Royal Kitchen. At any rate, His Nibs has brought suit against the Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railway Company and is to receive $690 for alleged non-delivery.
Oh well. It probably only saved him a closer acquaintance with the Royal Rolling Pin, anyway. Yet what a relief it is to know that even the weavers of purple have their human weaknesses!
The Chicago & Alton railroad intends to hook a portable movie theatre behind one of its limited. This bids fair to become a boon to humanity, for there will be less chance of hearing those morons who always insist on reading sub-titles out loud.
FASHION'S ZODIAC
The first harbinger of spring has arrived. The grass has not yet begun to green; the sap is still slurgh in the trees; the hardy robin still disports in the sunny south; and the chill breath of the north still makes of Mt. Oread a place on which to继
But we have an infallible sign of spring. It is not a messenger from Mother Nature; it is a gesture from a more imperious lady—Dame Fashion. This automatic mistress acknowledges no reverence for the calendar, the solitude, or the weather man. She flutters the seasons. The legions who slavishly follow in her train must swear allegiance to a new zodiac.
So it is that on days when the mercury is still in the basement and the wind has teeth that wip with cold, our lady of the campus steps out in her new light spring suit and hat. For surely, if winter comes, spring cannot be more than three blizzards behind.
"Three removes are as bad as a fire." So ran the ancient maxim, but it is all wrong. More properly, three removes represent compound interest on trash, rather than loss by fire. A fire would destroy great quantities of useless junk, but a remove serves only to show the mover just how large an accumulation he ins.
THE JOYS OF MOVING
If wealth accumulated as fast as trash, we would all reside in mansions. Old clothes, old tools, old letters, old magazines and papers, old souvenirs—old nonentities of every sort pile up and are in the way. A human being hates to throw such things away, for no sooner has he done so than he finds he wants them for some purpure. Thus, every household is loaded down with useless things which merely take up room.
So if three removes will destroy this stuff, then three removes are needed by every home proprietor.

Plain Tales From The Hill
The representative who has introduced a bill in the state legislature to abolish all fraternities and sororities on campus in a Greek restaurant once too often.
Indication is running high against the robber who held up a law student the other night. Students feel that the laws who are still with us should be treated with a certain degree of awe and reverence.
Instructor in biany class to student who could not understand the structure vein of the leaf. "He's汁" catch on your coat, "he's always catch on your coat, you know."
"Congress at Play" — headline.
Sounds like a movie caption—a subtitle in a slow-motion sport review.
While waiting on the arrival of food at Brick's it is the habit of some girls to form the letters of their Greek fraternity in salt, from the shakers. One girl was methodically forming the Greek letters for Sigma Kappa, when the water approached the pool and there didn't belong to Alemannia, so that they could still retain a little salt for future reference.
Student, coloring and sliding down in his seat: "Yes, yes, I know."
MILLIE MANN, Secretary.
Some peculiar rumors have been coming from the campus in regard to the recent McKeever fire. Although the origin is not clearly known, it is thought to be a carelessly thrown cigarette stub—flicked from a big Alph window.
The following alumnae spent the week-end at the Kappa Alpha Theta house to be present at initiation: Rachel Long, f'22, f2; Josephine Ryan, f'22, BSA City, Mo.; Fay Dodderidge, A. B.'19, White City; and Elsie Patterson, A. B.'20, Abilene.
Fred Semon, A. B. 723, who has been studying music in New York City under Professor Bristow, enrolled in the second semester, beginning of the second semester.
After the fire was out a rapid inventory was taken which showed that two baked chicken heads had disappeared. There has been no apprehension of the thieves.
Javhawks Flown

May Williams Ward, A. B. '05, of Belpire, is the author of a group of poems entitled "Prairie Songs," which will be featured in the issue of the Ladies' Home Journal.
Mrs. Ward's first attempt at poetry was made two years ago and now her name appears frequently as a contributor to leading American publications. Upon request, Mrs. Ward wrote an interesting account of her "adventures in magazine writing"; for the October Graduate Magazine, comparing her experience as a free-flowing writer to a freer-to-intro-Print" to her career here at K. U., and comparing editors to professors.
Mrs. Ward keeps house for her husband, Merle C. Ward, in the little town of Belpore, and writes poems during spare moments, and is a member of the Kansas Authors' Club. She is a member of Alemania and spen Homecoming week-end with the organization last fall.

It will trace, in words and pictures, the development of the educational and athletic sides of the institution through the thirty years of its expansion.
Oil has been discovered in the "backyard" of Pamona College. It has been present for sometime in the past, but it never before been adveniently beaten.
Actions of the Black Owls, a secret society recently organized at Depaw, were condemned by President George R. Grosse in his first church talk of the semester. Notes from the Black Owls have been received by students telling them to alter their actions and attitudes on the campus.
The University of Arizona is working up a Mexican Literature department. During the past two years 325 new books by Mexican authors have
been added to the library. They are historical novels of rather a high literary standard.
A course in truth-telling has been added to the curriculum at the University of Pennsylvania, to incure common homonymy. The Associated Adjunct Professor is instructed to get the co-operation of schoolboys teachers and public welfare institutions in saving the people of the country millions of dollars by seeing that stock promotions promise in advertising stock promotion, manufacturing and retailing.
The oldest temple in North America was uncovered in Mexico by Dean Cummings, of the University of Arizona.
