The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the idea of a school. The school is Kaanan; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of learning; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind and to be helpful; to have more serious problems to wiser birds; in all to serve to the host of its ability the most talented people.

A fellow funked a banking course this semester who knew more about banking the fourteen ball in the side pocket than Wille Hoppe.
THE CONNING TOWER
Has the state legislature made any provision for a tower building of some sort, to be situated in the middle of the campus? We'll pretty near have to have one, once the building program is complete.
You see, they put this darned thing on top of a hill because they thought the view would be pretty. It really is one of the finest views of any afforded from a college campus in the country. But the plans for the campus beautiful will almost completely line the outside fringe with buildings. It looks like those of us who have advertised the "view" from Mt. Oread so religiously are entitled to an observation tower of some kind with an elevator, so that we can take the folks up and show them what we were talking about.
It might not be a bad idea to put off enrolling in motion picture appreciation until we see how the rest of the schedule is going to turn out.
A FOOL'S PARADISE
Consider for a moment the student who is forever "putting something over" on the instructor.
He is a smart fellow, this chap who is always keeping ahead of the game. And his name is Legion. He comes to the University, a freshman, but a very wise one. He plans his four-year schedule with the idea of getting all the arbitrary requirements out of the way during the first two years so that he can live on "grapes" the last two. He enrols in courses in which he has not the least interest and does it with the air of a martyr, in order that he may the more fully enjoy collegiate life as an upper-classman. That is the first thing on the program.
The next thing is a careful analysis of the various instructors Roughly grouped, there are the easy ones; the medium-easy ones; and the hard ones. They are further classified as to hardness and softness and the list is then scrutinized from the standpoint of modus operandi. There are the ones who rely chiefly on notebooks and lectures; the ones who give daily written work; the ones who assign readings and don't expect them to be read; and the ones who assign readings and do. There are the ones who can't see or hear very well and the ones who are called out of town a good deal of the time. There are others but one could not begin to name them all. Suffice it is to say that such outlines are very compre-hensive—very.
From there on, the process of "getting by" is comparatively simple. If one is taking a notebook course, he merely waits until the last of the semester and then dashes up to the library to transfer a quantity of written matter into handwriting. The smart ones soon learn just when they will be called on orally or just what papers are sufficient to important to warrant spending any time on. Some authorities maintain that getting to class promptly is half of it while others insist that the thing to do is stop and "chin" with "the old bird" after class, thereby conveying the idea that one is intensely interested in the course.
Along about his senior year on the Hill, this fellow knows just how many hours of 'a's and 'b's he must have and how many D's he can afford. And if he has worked hard the first two years and "knows his stuff" it ought to be pretty soft sledding to the cap and gown.
That, for about seventy-five percent of us, is what getting an education consists of.
And under that system, men and women are leaving the colleges and universities of this country every year by the thousands, who cannot even talk intelligently on the subjects in wi ch they specialized. Ask any student of this type some pertinent question regarding a course which he has just finished a month or two previously and he will probably say: "Roy don't ask me. I'm all through with that dizzy course. Finished up last semester."
Activated grey matter. That is what you expect to find in the classroom. What you actually find is a small hole bored through the memory portion of the brain, and through which the student is capable of passing anything from abstract figures to philosophical theories, without the slightest danger of infection. The modern student has learned an easier way to absorb the concentrated knowledge of the text book. And he has also discovered that this way will get him a degree, just as the methods employed by the "grind" get him one. And after all, is not that the thing for which most of us are working—the right to put A. B. after our name? There arefoils enough for true. But the instructor who devotes the best of his life to his calling in order that he may offer opportunities of cultural enrichment that are within the easy reach of all—Is he a fool, because there are those who do not choose to take advantage of his offer.
THE LOWLY MARK
Since the German mark has sunk so low in value that about 40,000 of them can be purchased-for an American dollar, it would appear that the old saying, "not worth the paper it's printed on," contains more truth than fiction.
And if you can buy 40,000 German marks for a dollar, how many pieces of the cheapest paper can you buy in the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave for a dollar? This presents an interesting study.
You go downtown on a buying trip, and the poorest sort of scratch paper will cost you at least five cents a pound. And you can bet there won't be 40,000 pieces of paper in that pound, either, unless the pieces are cut to an infinitesimal size.
Or take cigarette papers. Cigarette papers are small; they're even smaller than a German paper mark, and much thinner. At no boot-legging prices—by that we mean Kansas City prices—a book containing approximately 500 cigarette papers can be bought for five cents. It requires no mathematical prodigy to figure that one dollar will buy only 10,000 cigarette papers.
It is possible that those who roll their own could save money by twisting the tobacco inside German marks. However, we don't recommend it.
Don't make cracks about the fellow with the 1916 overcoat which hits him about the base of the spinal cord. You may be asking him for a job some day.
This proposed legislation to drive student cars from the campus seems to be getting under some people's hide. At least it has brought out some debatable points on both sides.
SOUND OFF!
Suppose some of you who really have a gravitee to air or a concisenete view in the matter unburden yourselves in the Campus Opinion column. Here's how. Limit the article to a hundred words. Leave it at the editor's office, 103, J or mail it to him. And remember to sign your name—that is—if you want to see it in print. All right—shoot.
