Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, K. U. 25 and 66
The Daily Kanan anime to picture the idea of a teacher who helps the Kanan; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of the school; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be kind; to solve more serious problems to wiser hands; in all to serve to the best of its ability the Kanan.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1923
Now that the students have finally decided to buckle down to studying, the fire chief spoils it all by saying that too much midnight oil is causing the numerous fires.
THE NEW OWL
In the change of potency of the editors of the Sour Owl, humorous magazine published by the members of the Owl society, is seen an important step toward the publication of a better humorous magazine in K. U. Under this plan every student in the University is offered an incentive to contribute material to the Owl. It is but a step toward making the magazine a true all-University publication, reflecting the real humor to be found on the Hill.
BOOKS
Our idea of the ambitious young man, is the college youth that spends his last four dollars for a bill folder.
The maneuvers of the proverbial bull in the china shop are graceful and well ordered as compared to the blundering, helpless behavior of many students of the University when they attempt to do library work in Spooner. And it isn't always the newly arrived freshman that displays the lowest degree of intelligence and the greatest degree of awkwardness.
Your average student spends no more time than is required in the library. The long, polished tables and the neat rows of books on reserve sheves suggest work, and that is distasteful. Instructors in many undergraduate courses reserve texts for their classes, and the student goes through to his degree without ever having to do any library work on his own initiative; and as long as his readings are reserved he is safe from the terrors of Spooner.
But if he stumbles inadvertently into some class taught by an instructor who thinks his students should strike up an intimate acquaintance with Spooner, evil days are upon him. Once he is in the library his aimless wanderingers usually carry him through the glass door to the inner sanctuary—the stacks. The sight is positively disheathing to the novice! Books everywhere, books above him, books below him, and books to the sides of him! If the expression rined and wasn't trite, it might be said that every minute in every way he became more and more confused.
And so it is to a lesser extent with the card indexes and the magazine newspaper files. Many are the students who, rather than use a little intelligence to figure the thing out or rather than pester the life out of the librarian, give it as a bad job; the mental strain is too great.
They tell us we are to have a new library with still more exhaustive stacks, files, and indexes. What will be the effect on the average student? The old proverb doesn't say that the ball bolted from the china shop, but we are sure that he did.
Headline: "Chamber of Commerce Hears Noted Writer at Luncheon." Probably gargling his soup.
Reports have it that Anastasia is in revolt. Not an epidemic; it's a country.
THE U. S. FORGIVES
Under a ruling handed down in an Ohio court, slackers are exempt from punishment being protected by the statute of limitations. Three years ago, if one had even hinted that slackers would not be punished, he would have been called pro-German and a traitor. Today the news does not even get on the front page of the newspapers. Sporadic attempts are being made to punish war graffits. Soon we will be told that they cannot be punished. That news will be put on the back pages of the newspapers. We forget too soon.
One German blames America collectively as the cause of chaos in Europe; another German blames Henry Ford individually as the backer of Bavarian Fascist. About the only thing America hasn't been blamed for is the downfall of Adam and Eve.
A MECHANICAL AGE
Row on row of motor cars—phaeton, victoriais, roadtracers, coupes, touring vehicles, stand resplendent at the automobile show in Kansas City. Curious crowds surge back and forth like multicolored舟s in an ocean cove. Dazzling lights are reflected on burnished metal.
It is an exposition of luxurious mechanical devices, engines of man's own making, which conserve human energy, annihilate time and space. And the jaded throngs gaze approximately at the exhibits much as our forefathers gazed at the aristocrats of horsemen in days gone by.
Horses have become a curiosity. Miliy riding forth in an extravagantly-equipped motor car whose throbbing engine whisks her hiten and thitter. Even the dejected dray horse has been replaced by the sputtering "fliver."
Truly, this is a mechanical age!
Some think law enforcement mean merely "law endorsement."
CONGRESS AT PLAY
Congress is packing up, ready to go on a long, restful vacation. After what is characterized as a terrific, nerve-racking period of nearly eight years, the national legislature has decided on its own hook to take a nine months' leave of absence from official duties.
Incidentally, it is announced that several of the congressmen are to take "official" trips of investigation to study conditions in various foreign countries. For the party that goes to Europe, the little boatlet Leviathan will be the yacht. The president also seeks a prolonged vacation from official duties.
Why should the national legislature feel that such an extended vacation on government expense is necessary at this time? Surely it cannot be that the flush of accomplishment and success in the late sessions is responsible for the attitude of holiday seeking. Maybe it is the ennui occasioned from listening to the perennial drone of "for God's sake" drivel. Or perhaps the legislature is becoming "blocked" to death.
We should have some cheer in the mere announcement that the vacation is coming. Ship subsidies, freight rates, treaties, taxes on air-tight bonds, etc., will be much the same without a congress, such as the past one. And then when they are out at Honolulu or Paris or London they can't be passing bills of appropriation, like the twenty-five-million dollar one to Columbia.
There is time for some action before March 4, but it is too much for the American people to hope for. Let us wish them pleasant trips and hope they don't come back with so many "blocs" in their heads.
President Poincaré of France says that the League of Nations never dreamed of establishing perpetual peace. Could there be any connection between the French conception of the purpose of the League and the fact that the French military machine is larger than it ever was before the war and that her bayonets now control many square miles of German territory?

HOUSE MOTHERS MEETING POSTPONED:
Plain Tales From The Hill
The house mothers will meet with Mrs. Corle at the Alpha Chi Omega house, Monday, March 6th, instead of February 19th.
Howat is in jail again. There has been some speculation as to how long he could stay out with the weather as chilly as it is. If he knew that the story of his return to jail only got on the back page of the Journal World, he certainly would have studied his case more carefully.
Some night when there is nothing particularly thrilling to do we are coming up to Spooner's and watch the girls fight for the first seats facing the door, beside the ile tables. It must be a struggle, for regardless of the hour of evening study about the same old gang of young men, you can find a woman wearing ward with longing hearts and waking minds. That hour of ten probably never seems to come, but eventually the handsome man arrives and off goes the girl, repaid for her evening "at home" in the library.
Too Good to Miss
Sidelights on Frat Songs
After many prolonged raps on the door in an unavailing effort to get the roamer off to class on time, the teacher "Eight o'clock, eight o'clock."
"The Pioneer" which stands at the end of the University road near the Engineering building should either be fired or placed in jail for vagrancy. He hasn't lifted a shovel full of dirt in nearly nine years.

Now the Phi Psi ragi has been interpreted to mean—well there are several interpretations—and it's a good ragi too.
He who stole one of a series of Joan of Arce are pictures from the English department, must he dispointed in not getting one of the best. Your choice really was very poor. Can you not arrange to come back when there is more time to adequately 'uigre your art?
"Better call a physician," drawled the roomer sleepily.
It's sort of a relief to look out of West Ad window during an economics lecture and listen to the band onstage. The sounds coming from the rock crusher.
Notice, Mr. Shea

The following advertisement appeared a while ago in a California newspaper:
"For Sale: One large, red-and-white cow, three-eightles mule and five-eighths wildcat. She usually uses on a visit every summer but at present attached to her home by means of a log chain. To any person wishing to transport the cow, she and a sledge hammer. Would be delighted to sell this cow to some citizen of San Diego who thinks he can whip Mexico single-handed."
Your attention and reflection is called to the fact that the bludgeon of scandal has not visited the Hill for a fortnight or two. Wouldn't think of holding on on you, but it can't go on much longer. We simply can't endure the Utopia more than another ten days.
Attention, Stockmen!
Where are the Russian boots the girls were rushing around in? Time for something new.

On Other Hills
Preliminary *arrangements* have been made for an old-time "spelling bee" at the University of Michigan. Students in rhetorical courses who showed ability to spell have been taken up by students from the School of Education, and their particular weaknesses have been studied and individually corrected. In the climax of the course, the "spelling bee" the students who have studied have been urged those who were shown by the first examination to be good spellers.
The Indiana state legislature recently defeated a bill introduced to tax properties of Greek letter fraternities. Citizens of Bloomington, the site of the Indiana State University, are organized in opposition to the bill.
Counsia appears in still another form at the University of Ohio. As a result, that university will soon have world-wide fame for its beautiful women. M. Coe is going to teach them how to dress properly by his simple "day by day" theory. Improvement in figure, gracefulness, disposition, and facial appearance are predicted by M. Loe. Who knows but vanity shopts will soon learn to wear glamorous and tawers only a place in the dim, roomy history of by-gone days?
