The Daily Kaisan aims to picture the future of Kanare, to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the danki language; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to water bodies; in more serious problems to widen boundaries in the ability of the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 31. 1923 Day by day, in every way, this expression is getting staler and staler. THE KANSAS UNION The dream of two decades is to be come a reality. Kansas is to have its million dollar Union Building. Following a meeting of the executive committee of the Memorial Corporation last week is was assured that work would be begun on the Union by next fall. Although the campaign is not quite finished it is expected that all pledges will be in by the end of the current year. No definite location has been chosen, but that is to be taken care of by legislative enactment within the next few months. WHY NOT HERE? It is enough to know that the thing for which we have worked so long is a realization of the very near future. Kansas has long needed a building to serve as a community center for university people and is only keeping pace with the country's other great schools. According to all indications, Kansas is to have the greatest invitation meet of history this spring. Word has been received from the University of Pennsylvania that that school will be represented at the Annual Kauai Games in April. Early returns from the invitations extended all the large universities and high schools indicate that inter-collegiate sport interest is gradually turning toward the Middle-West. Fully half of the Big Ten conference schools are expected to send at least a relay team to the meet, and competition may be further quickened by the appearance of some California and eastern stars. University officials are bending every effort toward making Kansas the annual rendezvous of track and field stars from all over the country. Once started, the idea should prove popular, since Kansas is in every way logically situated and equipped to take care of invitation meets on a large scale. As far as location is concerned, Lawrence is certainly ideal. Forming the almost perfect hub of the forty-eight states, its proximity to Kansas City facilitates railroad connection from any one of them. Since the erection of the new stadium and the addition of new track naraphernalia, Kansas is equipped to care for an almost unlimited number of athletes, and the Kansas track is as fast as any in the country. The recent activity of the Kansas City Athletic Club and the staging of the last two National Amateur Basketball championships there have done a great deal to break down the idea that western schools are not in the same class with eastern in athletics. This year's Husker football team and the present Allen basketball machine have proved beyond an argument that they are capable of sharing honors with the nation's best. And there are certainly some speed artists on Valley track teams who could credit to their colors in the fastest sort of company. In track, just as in music, the fol low who makes the records is victor. MAX NORDAU Max Nordau, the author of "De-generation," is dead. What an odd character was this same Nordau. In all his seventy-three years he saw nothing but the seamy side of life. His was a creed of fear and he breathed damnation to the world. For it was Nordau who saw in the World War the End of Everything. How fortunate that a man of such culture and learning should be so warped in mind and soul that he could see naught but the bad in his fellow-men. An intellectual monostrosity —so he lived and so he died, a martyrt to his "cause" and a pauper—self-induced. We are not at liberty to divulge the name of the irate parent who, upon learning that his son flunked thirteen hours out of a possible fifteen, quoted the following passage of Scripture: "Io, I poured in all the gold and out came this calf." Yet he never discovered, in all his four-score-years-and-ten, that simple of curses for mortal ill—Faith And now comes definite information concerning classes in which 5 or 40 per cent of members were failed, and rumors of a course or two in while the mortality was as high as 75 per cent. Various explanations of this high flunk rate have been offered by the departments in which "disaster" occurred; but none of them seems wholly adequate. Common sense would indicate that at least part of the trouble lies with the system or with the instructor. TOO MANY FLUNKS Certain members of the faculty have been known to say that their courses can not be learned by the average student at the first contact—that a second exposure is a necessity. Hence, following this belief, they usually fail a very large proportion of those in their classes. But that system is absolutely unfair to the student. If the course really takes double the time allowed for it, then it should be revised so that the average student could cover the ground in the allotted period. The faculty members who seem to believe in the principle of "wholesale flunking" evidently think only of the necessity for the student's getting the work, and forget that a flunk is a flunk, and that there is a limit to the number of hours one can fail and still remain in school. Under rulers which are becoming more stringent each semester, failure is a more serious matter than formerly. That is, perhaps, as it should be, but certainly the flunk should cause to be the solution of the course that is too long. And then there is the instructor who assists no particular reason to the lack of success in his classes; he seems to assume that a large portion of his students are either drones or "dumbbells". In rare cases that may be true. Classes do vary in ability, but when an instructor does that it is necessary to fall approximately half of his class, it is time for him to examine his course and his methods. Now comes the Innocence who thought Coue was a Belgian billiard artist. Plain Tales From The Hill Dr. Bacon's method of handling cuts in gym by assigning one or two hundred miles to be made sparmloaded in five mile heats has got to be done away with. The men get invigorated into taking the walks too, and after having to hire a taxi to go to the gym for five miles. Gee Whiz, what's man good for? Don't five and five make ten? The Harvard man who has been visiting K. U. in search of superior child data is in the right church but he doesn't know where he's and he's over in the Engineering building. Sixteen years old, makes all A grades, takes his recreation climbing the hill to the Kapua house, his power from eating grapefruits. Men Studenta Kick The University of Texas has a "Hogg Debating Club." Here's an suggestion for the Kansas Angles. Three days of school this week will give opportunity for three home runs, before we come to "The Bat" Saturday night. Official Daily University Bulletin Vol. II.

The Barrymore production "Jalule!" in New York is reported to have made permanent bachelors of every unmarried man in the audience. After the performance of "The Admirable Crichton" by the Dramatic club, a large majority of the gentlemen publicly for positions as bathers—more than likely through the columns of the Daily Kanson too. Headline: Twenty Students Enrolled in Short Course in Home Econ. Isn't there some way to make that course a little longer? Can't spend all our lives at the University, eating at the Commons. There is difference of opinion among students at the University of Indiana as to whether or not one week should be set aside every year when women ask men for dates. Many of the men approve of the plan on the basis that it would be something new, but most of the women object on the premise that they would not have it. The idea is tradition at some other institutions and is called "seek week" in reference to the custom prevailing during leap-year.
