The Daily Kavanah aims to picture the understated need for guidance in preparing to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas of its leaders; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charming; to be serious; to be wise; to all serve to the best of its ability.

John D. used to give away nickels when he didn't want photographers to take his picture. Now he passes out dunes. The old king must think twice as much of himself as he used to.
THE FRESHMAN'S ENIGMA
The first year college student, N.B. Alexander of the University of Nebraska has said, will often accept the cues of wisecareer older students who "show the ropes" through "hours" and "credita" to "degrees." Again, he will listen to advice from an official "advisor" who, knowing comparatively little about the "courses" in departments other than his own, gets his charge off on the wrong foot.
As Mr. Alexander has put it, "the freshman speedily accepts the facile lead; the curriculum is a game; he can bent it if he but master the combination; that is education."
The University of Kansas narrows the freshman's choice of subjects. He is presented a limited menu and told to order; he usually chooses those things sweetest to his taste, the so-called "snap" courses. Should he by chance stumble upon his favorite dish in the course of his mincing, his question is settled. If he does not, he is in as much of a quandary as he was before.
Some universities of the country are taking more stringent measures in the matter and are compelling the student during his freshman and sophomore years to adherence strictly to a given course of study which is fairly representative of the curricula of the various schools. These institutions argue that he then is able to gain at least a fair idea of what the "mators" are like, and he is better able to choose one in his junior and senior years when he is given more freedom.
He is required during this time to hand in his decision on his major to the dean's office, and at the expiration of his senior year he takes examinations on it. If the work is satisfactory, he obtains his degree.
This method is the extreme in liberation from the iron-clad dogmas of the old university. Whether it will wak or not can be approximately determined by the rapidity with which prominent educational institutions over the country take it up. One thing is certain, however, until someone can devise a more precise method of choosing underclassman subjects, the new student will be compelled to feel his way in the dark.
Causes which affected the earthquake and tidal waves in Chile have been outlined. An astronomer makes the statement that some of the ocean water leaked through the earth's crust, met with some hot lava, produced steam, and hence the quake. Easy, isn't it?

TO MEMBERS OF THE COLLEGE FACULTY:
Your attention is called to the fact that all mid-semester grades on all students enrolled in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences are due thursday, November 16.

In order that advisers may have the grades of advises without delay it is necessary that these grades be sent in at once.

Years ago when the question of women's vote was agitating the minds of men, the generally accepted theory was that ninety percent of the women voters would express themselves at the polls as their fathers or husbands did. Scratch a ticket? If they do, said the men, it will be at the best of the men in their families.
Even two years ago, it was generally believed that the women were not a real political factor, save in their ability to swell the number of votes cast. All that was before local elections last week. If men failed to realize before, they know now that women's political ideas are not to be ignored.
WOMAN'S VINDICATION
SHALL WE BELIEVE IT?
The American Legion is dying, according to Dr. Edmund Gros, commander of the European department of the Legion. This statement was made after the foreign official returned from the New Orleans convention. "Mob rule was supreme at the convention," Doctor Gros said. "The affair was a disgrace."
Women of Northwestern University have imagined a "campaign of kindness." They are going to give the Chicago factory girls a party.
WALTER MORRISON, President.
JENS P. JENSEN, Faculty Adviser.
A lamentable fact indeed that the commander of the foreign department of the legion should take such a stand. But this man does not stop with the convention affairs, but goes further and states that many members of the legion are using the organization for selfish political ends
What will the millions who compose the membership of the legion think of this statement by a man who lives 5,000 miles distant from the United States? It will cause a big laugh, the same kind of laugh that greeted the Germans on the Western front. Perhaps Doctor Gross is not interested with this Yankee characteristic that has something more behind it than humor. If not, then the foreign commander should resign from his post of honor and spend some of his snare time glancing through recent histories of the World War. Perhaps he may then reverse his decision that "The American Legion is dying."
Of all the factors operating to discredit Senator Reed in Missouri, probably the opposition of the women was the strongest. They considered him opposed to their best interests and straightway proceeded to register their disapproval by their vote. If never before, women are at least recognized as an active political force, a body whose ideas must be considered and whose demands must be satisfied. The woman voter has come into her own.
On Other Hills
Admiral Sims of the United States Navy had an LL, D, conferred on him at McGill University, Montreal, Canada, recently. This going outside the country for honors is carrying the n degree too far, isn't it?
With the addition of $500,000 recently donated to a previously contributed $2,000,000 for a medical school, the University of California is planning on building one of the finest and most complete medical schools in the United States. At the University of California, $2,000,000 to add to this amount. The school will be located in San Francisco.
Cub reporters at George Washington University, Washington, D. C. will be entertained with a dance given by the literary society and the journalism feerality. Kansan cubs say they run around the campus so much for stories which "event" that they have no desire to dance.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
A recent canvas of twenty men and women students at the University of Chicago revealed the fact women attended the institution for the benefit of the social life and "to pass the time pleasantly." The men attending the institution are there to obtain an education, to enter athletics, and to enroll in class fostering general culture.
