Published in the afternoon, five times a week by students in the Department of Journalism of the University of Kansas, from the press of the Department of Journalism.

Address all communication to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phone: K. U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansas aim is to picture the undergraduate life of Joel Burke, a man whose newly printing the news by allowing the ideas he writes to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to be curious; to be more serious subjects to wiser bends; to be more intellectually able students of the University. TUESDAY, NOV. 14, 1922 Edison didn't invent the talking machine. Congress was created even before Edison was born. MORE SUNDAY MANNERS The University of Kansas, through the department of journalism will have as its greatest two hundred high school editors from the state of Kansas for two days, November 17 and 18. A better opportunity to do special and scientific rushing for the university could not be had. These preclude newspaper workers are juniorists and seniors in their high schools over the state, and most of them are leaders in scholastic and outside school activities. They are the kind of students the University needs. What kind of impressions are we to give our two hundred guests? Do we want them to visualize the magnitude of our great institution for its power in the various schools? Or shall we give them the idea that we are attending one magnanimous social play ground? Wouldn't it be advisable for the University to put on its Sunday manners for the high school editors just because they are our guests, and give them an intensive rush for K. U by showing them how nice we really are? Batting Siki says he got $25 for kicking the champion of the French army. That is probably about all it was worth. NATURE ASSERTS ITSELF NATURE ASSERTS ITSELF Forces of nature have once more tremendously asserted themselves in the great tidal waves that have swept the South American coast, leaving destruction and death in their wake. Wide-spread have marked the earthquake which accompanied the waves and added awe and terror to the seething emotions of the victims of the awful catastrophe. 'Contemplation of the terrible cataclysm, the loss of human life and the devastation and suffering brings to the mind the statement of Dr. Edwin E. Slosson in his "Creative Chemistry," which occasioned so much comment on publication, "the conquest of nature is the whole duty of man." The earth is being steadily re-populated. The loss of life in Chile and other scenes of catastrophe will before long be more than replaced. Human agencies will in a comparatively short time rebuild and re-equip the devastated sections as has been so often the case in the past. But that is not the question at stake—the question is prevention of further waste of life and property by minimizing or controlling the causes. It is a tremendous undertaking, and it is one of which even the most powerful of scientists have little knowledge of procedure. The audacity of the proposal for such a conquest would be breath-taking were it not for the super-possible achievements that science has made in the past decade. On the other hand, it goes to show that all our boasted progress is a mere beginning of the task civilization, as we have mapped it out, faces, if it is to become a reality. Ifs as Doctor Slosson says, creative evolution is at last becoming conscious, recent events will serve to increase that consciousness of the task ahead. It is for us to decide whether a disaster such as occurred will leave discouragement or renewed determination to place nature under our control. If many more politicians, like Misa Alice Robertson, announce their determination of "retiring from politics for good," what's the country going to do with all the extra taxmoney left over after the regular state expenses are paid? NEWSPAPER READING NEWSPAPER READING "Do students read the current news papers as they should?" This was a question asked by a professor of a University class recently. From the data submitted by some thirty students, they do not; and little interest is shown in the world's news by those who do occasionally grab a paper for a couple of minutes. The news which is most successful in catching the students' attention is athletics, especially at this time of year. Seldom does the average student read the editorial page or news of big national events, and more seldom still, does he consider how much he is missing by not reading the news of the day more carefully. Girls are more delinquent than men in this matter, perhaps because their interests lie more largely in other fields. A greater per cent of both men and women read current magazines more regularly than they do the papers. Piction, being lighter and less fatiguing to read, slips more easily into the college student's schedule, apparently. Certain departmental students whose required reading includes the scanning of a daily paper or a magazine of public opinion, confess to thorough enjoyment of this reading. There must be some reason for this noticeably small number of news-reading students. Do they have no time to read the evening paper? Are they inclined to value other means of recreation and entertainment more than reading the paper after the evening meal? Or are they carrying so much work in school as to take all their interest away from the events of the day? At whatever door the fault may be laid, the intelligence remains. The only remedy is to open the student's eyes to the wide vista of thought and pleasure acquired from regular newspaper reading. Not from perusal of the murder and triangle cases, nor of violent muck-rakings, those vistas open, but from gleaning the worth-will from the chaff, from selecting the gold from the dross. Try this. Spend ten minutes each morning or evening reading a certain newspaper. Scan the headlines, select the stories most worth your while and read them. Merely absorb the list of the less important news, leaving it in your mind as a foundation to build your opinions upon. Read the editorial page and if you must, the comic strip! Do this conscientiously for a week, and we will guarantee that you will enjoy it so much that you couldn't be persuaded to stop the habit. "A rolling stone gathers no moss." Put then, we're not so keen about moss, after all. What is dart? Ahes ofhes, lighted letters, faded hellotrope, Rose petals fallen from a dead hand Sudden, silda, deserted shoes, crumbling cita.

Dust is rainbow webs caught in sweet, hot smelling hedges. th, dout is sun and laughter, lurems, parasols, preening pigeons, soon blenched by the roadside. And it is dust that keeps my eyes from being Is that all? blended by the stars. -Dorothy A. Andersen in Contemporary Vera Jayhawk Jargon Well, they beat us! Now, we suppose Nebraska is about ready to take on the whole world. So was the Kaiser. But we have one consolation. Napoleon had his Wellington, Von Hindenburg had his Joffre, and Nebraska had her Syracuse. And then, we are going to beat Missouri for sure. That's the "fondest thing we are of," you know. We'll wager that the leader of the Husker band wears a platinum wrist watch. He would make a good dancing master. A Nebraska man by the name of House was substituted in the last period of the game. Well, he looked as big as one—and the rest of the team must have been his twin brothers. We move that someone form a Dumbbell League of America. Some poor, misguided soul in Illinois yesterday looked into the gasoline tank fleet that much gas he had by the light of a match. His friends and it with flowers. "Women in politics make me sick" New York women scratched a merchant's face for saying that. The "also rans" who were "scratched" by the women probably feel the same way. The newlyweds are not nearly as foolish as the nearly-weds, and the nearly-weds are not as foolish as the never-weds. The unhaved athletes of Texas Christian University at Fort Worth, who have foresworn shaving until the football team wins a game, have been joined by a large number of co-els, who have wowed to wear their hair sliced back until a football victory is achieved. Announcement of the girls' cooperation with the gridiron heroes was made when the young women appeared in classes and on the campus with the old style in hair dressing. Bobbed hair will disappear for the time being. On Other Hills A recent convase at Williamsville University, Salem, Ore., revealed that fully 15 per cent of the students are self-supporting.

When one sees two kittenish imbibes, seated side by side, calmly grays chocolate, jingle keys, write notes, try on each other's hats, put their feet on the sofas just in front of the television, and slip each other, is it any wonder that it is hard to convince them that we have at least the rudiments of culture? After many "etiquette" books published, the almost daily newspaper editorial, and helpful hints written on "Conduct in Public," it is positively astonishing the amount of manners a student audience can lack. Wiggles, gum, tickles, slips, claps, giggles—all are included.
