The Daily Kranan aims to, physic-
ifically, give students in the univer-
sity of Karnataka, to go fur-
ther learning in the field of
physics by staying for two to
deal with the demands of the
program; to be cheerful
to be charitable to the deaf-
ly students; to win hearts; to pro-
mise students to wiser heads; to
increase the quality of the
students of the University.

A SOLDIER'S FAREWELL
TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1922
The old Rhine flows peacefully and serenely on, but soon there will be no American soldiers there to guard it. They are packing their bags and baggage, their foreign tailored civiles, their hand made shoes, and numerous other articles which can be bought for a song on account of the low exchange value of marks. They seem reluctant to "come home." Some of them say they are going back there.
It was pretty soft up there for most of them. They went there after the boys of the third army had paved the way through St. Mibiel and the Argonne, after comfortable quarters had been established, and after peace regulations had been fairly well oiled. They saw only the sunny side of Germany; they endured no hardships to get there; and they held no grudge in their hearts to overcome.
So we do not wonder at them when they received the order for the evacuation of the American Army of "Occupation with crestfallen countenance. Their pay in marks made them rich. They spent their money freely and treated the German population better than they had ever been treated before. The German people learned an American-German jargon and built shops and restaurants to enter to the soldier trade. The American soldiers had their sports, their sightseeing trips, and leave of absence to almost any part of Europe. They lived the life of "Riley."
The comparison is a strange one between these soldiers and the ones who came home'three years ago. The soldiers of three years ago had seen a little of the rough side of civilization; they saw it when the mask was removed revealing all its morbid aspects; and they were sick of it. They were happy to return once more to a free country where they could enjoy human kindness and get out of what seemed to be a contaminated atmosphere. Such things bore a different aspect to those who had seen them in the process of smoothing over.
So let the old Rhine flow peacefully and serenely on without the American guard. There are some, at least, who are glad that it will and can flow that way.
GRADING OUR PROFS
This suggestion of the placing, of a grade upon the work of a professor by his students grows more attractive the more one thinks it over. If a strict system of grading has a salutary effect on the scholarship standards of a university, would not the same ideal be more nearly approached by forcing a professor, through fear of his grade, to keep the quality of his courses up to a higher grade?
There are many delightful aspects to such a situation. With what pleasure the student would place a black demerit mark on the record of a professor each time he kept the class five minutes beyond the regular class period. Sad as it may seem,
professors have been known to come to their classes without the slightest preparation for the lecture they are to give. Strangely enough, students are able to observe this. Every time this happened, down would go a little round zero mark for the day on the professor's grade card.
By making the job dependent on his averaged grade from each of his classes there would undoubtedly be an astonishing increase in the number of really interesting courses. There would be no more sleeping done in classes and all would be perfect. The student would have the tyrant professors just where they wanted them. Let's try it.
THOSE CONFERENCES
No sooner is the Genoa Conference over than the European leaders begin to plan another. In spite of the reassuring phrases uttered by these leaders regarding the lasting good accomplished by the Genoa Conference, the world knows it to be a failure. The recalcitrant nations are as far if not further from giving up their ideas than they were at the beginning of the conference.
The period now intervening between the conference just over and the approaching meeting at the Hague will doubtless be used in attempting to bring the United States into line with the other nations. But the nations of Europe must show some more forcible reason why the people of this country should allow themselves to become entangled in the intrigues of Europe than have been advanced to date.
The charge is made frequently and often by Europe that the United States is a money grubbing nation which thinks only of its own selfish interests. The charge may in part be true. The nation has never been known which was able to survive with.
to some extent looking after its own selfish interests. There is no kind father of nations to distribute justice and kindness equally and impartially to all the nations of the world.
Europe has a way of discounting with faint praise all that has been done for her. The United States has all done for the regeneration of Europe that she fairly can do. The rest Europe must accomplish for herself.
Plain Tales from the Hill
One senior contends that;

The freshmen are simple folk
The sophomores too are such a joke
The juniors nearly make us choke
And so without the seniors nobile band
That's rather large but full of sand
We didn't be the best that's in the
bands.
K, U's noted story teller to his friend—You know I kidded around with a fellow name Bill Smith, in which he told a landlord lard to make his hair lie down.
His friend—Say, you told me last week that this same Bill. Smith used compound paint for batter.

A University woman went to a baucary parlor, and her hair had her brownway to the way to the Thoughta Sawa Fly. She she met one of her securitarians.
The sister—Helen what is the mat ter with your hair?
Pi sees by the columns of the Daily Kansan that the University of Kanas has the honor of having the first professional painting sorority and fraternity. Pi says that if that's the case all the others must be amateurs.
In one of the classes in the department of journalism, today every student frowned and stretched his neck in order to be able to hear what the professor had to say above a terrible noise in the press room below.
Helen—Oh, I just had a shampo and it shrunk.
A K. U. Miss and four friends entered a street car. She puts thirty-ve cents in the fare box.
Everyone heard, as was evidenced by the fact that there was a scramble for the door.
Finally the professor said—I think, since none of you can hear what I say that we will adjourn the class until next time.
The Conductor—You've beat yourself out of a nickle. We sell five tickets for thirty cents.
K. U. Miss—Thirty-five cents. Isn't
seven cents each.
The conductor—How much did you put in there?
Lawrence Merchant Prince who is setting near—Miss you can have the conductor give you a alpin. Take it to the office and get your nickle.

The Faculty replies that it is in "bene parentis." How many parents of boys and girls 18 to 22 years old presume to hedge them about with so many petty restrictions? Far more important is it to bring them up to be self-reliant and self-disciplined, and to be able to govern themselves. If the parents have failed in that duty, then it is up to the University to provide them with such training. Certainly the way to accomplish this is NOT by hedging them about with petty restrictions, and preventing them from overexercise their own initiative and independence of action, but on the contrary, to teach them responsibility by giving them the responsibility for themselves and their deeds.
PROGRAM OF ORIGINAL STUDENT COMPOSITIONS;
Students of the School of Fine Arts will give a program of original compositions under the direction of Professor Skilton at 4:30 Wednesday in Fraser Chapel. The public is invited. H. L. Butler, Dean.
We hear that such things are done for the effect that they will have on the people of the state. But had the whole affair been treated a little more gently, it would have received less ponded attention from the Newspapers.
MEN'S GLEE CLUB CONCERT:
Student Opinion
(Editor's Note—Sherwin F. Kelly, president of the Graduate School, was prevented by lack of time from giving his talk at the annual Student Day convention last week. The following from Mr. Kelly gave his statement.
This little disturbance was one sign of a return of pep on the Hill, which from what I have heard, has been sady tackling in recent years. It was not accepted as such, nor treated in a way that would be appreciated. I note that the clever thing to have done under the circumstances would have been to send the Engineers back to clean up the steps of Green Hall. Being an ngEinem, I am glad that did not happen. Instead of some such really appropriate action, a heavy investigation was begun, a tempestuous search for the engineers were deprived of their Day and Hop like a bunch of naughty grade school boys.
The time available for the representatives of the different schools to air their grievances at the Student's Day Convocation having been inadequate, I am writing this in hope that the editor of the Kansan will find space to publish the points I had wished to bring up as representative $f$. The Graduate School. Necessarily $i$; put down the speech Ibad prepared to have skeleton in order to conform to space provided for such effusions.
Editor Daily Kansan:
The annual Men's Glee Club Concert will be given at 8:15 Wednesday in Fraser Chapel. H. L. Butler, Dean.
It had been my intention to devate some time to the question of the irresponsible attitude of the students towards the appearance of this campfire, and the worsen, and the lack of responsibility of the Kansan reporters when it comes to getting skills accurately printed. These points will have to be accompanied with the more mention that they are needing much improvement.
In the first place, I wish to touch on the Engineer-Law fight. Having graduated here as a Mining Engineer in 1917, I must leave it to the reader to decide whether or not I am biased.
With the merits of one side or the other of the affair, I am not concerned. What I am finding fault with is Mr. Crawford's handling of the investigation.
Naturally, when the affair is graced with the importance of deserving an investigation by the Dean of Men, and of such grave character as to require punishment of the entire school, of course the farmers out over the state would be impressed "of the whole thing, and get a b贺 impression of the institution.
Treating the students like grade school boys and girls has led the University to assume too much supervision of the students outside of school hours. Presumably, when a young man or woman comes here to study, he or she has reached the age of at least some discretion, but the Faculty will not recognize that, and proceeds to dictate to the students what they may and may not do outside of study hours, until the rules and regulations sound like Germany before the War. Why not pass a curfew law, and forbid our students to go to Kansas City?
The last thing for which I have to indict the Faculty is the over-emphasis placed on grades, and the under-emphasis placed on learning. The only thing the students think of now is "What grade am I getting?" and not "What am I getting out of this course?"
This mis-placed emphasis has led to a dishhearing jet-down of standards, with the result that students who would not think of stealing their neighbor's purse, do not hesitate to steal his ideas. This may not be entirely due to the grade situation, but that it is no due in large part, I know. I am regretfully forced to the conclusion that cheating has come, in the last few years, to be a more or less accepted method of "getting by" at it. To remedy this the entire cooperation of faculty and students needed to raise the standards of honor to the point where it is considered as dishonrable to steal another person's ideas, as it is to steal his money.
Therefore, I submit the propositions that; the faculty in failing in its obligation to train men and women to be self-disciplined, responsible and honorable; and the students are failing to live up to their own standards, and failing to shoulder the responsibilities presented to them.
Songs From The Hill
Sherwin F. Kelly.
THE TRUTH
Why do the older folks denounce the things we young folks do?
They criticise each move we make and any fad that's new.
They seem to think we've all gone wrong and left the narrow path.
Now Dad has often told me how he used to carry on
While every day brings something new to stir their righteous wrath.
And there are lots of things he's told about from time to time.
To day the pranks they used to play are listed under crime.
They do not like the way we dance they're all condemning jazz,
Did you ever see the dances they did in days gone by?
And point with scornful finger at the bad effects it has.
They'd hop and stamp their feet and run around the floor,
And when at dawn the music stopped they stand and shout for more. Thank you from Virginia.
The exercise they used to take would kill most any guy.
They sit around and sob about the girls who bob their hair.
They'd do a few Virginia reels and nine or ten quadrilles.
And do them with a gusto, in a pace that all but kills.
Like arctic expeditions in an ice bound wilderness.
And make some awfully mean rema-
nents about the clothes they wear.
But in the days beyond recall, the
liquid used to draw.
And a couple six pound bustles were considered very neat.
A half a dozen petticoats, a skirt that sweent the street.
A coat, a waist, and other things impossible to name.
Any try to tell us younger folks the way we should behave.
And so I'm forced to smile when I hear these people rave,
They didn't dress for comfort,but were stylish just the same.
Let's hope that they will stop their talk and see our point of view
Their big mistake was tellig us the things they used to do
-Richard Brodhead.
To avoid unpleasant comparisons a professor at K. S. A. C. has hit upon the plan of using numbers instead of names in posting a unit of the grades for freshman mentality tests. A teacher with two years of experience and comparison of class grades with mental capability was sent to each individual who took the test.
