The Daily Kannan aims to poke fun at the University of Kansas, to go furry around campus and stand by for the ideals that the students want to be clear; to be cheerful; to leave more airspace; to be less aggressive; to manage the challenges the university faces.

SHACKLED CHINA
Science and invention has made the world small, The World War, though coercing in reality a very small portion of the globe had its effects in the most remote parts. People who knew and understood only an inking of the complicated affairs asked continually, when will it end? They knew nothing about the economic laws but they realized that the war was responsible for the raise in price of their clothing and the scarcity of food.
So it is with China. It is hard to realize that the welfare of this nation effects the whole world. One fact may bring an inking of light; China has enough coal in one of her coal fields to supply the whole world for the next thousand years!
China is bound by treaties and plundered by other nations until her soul is not even her own. She is being used as a stepping stone by other nations; her natural resources are being drained to the limit by other nations; and other nations have fought their wars on her soil.
China, today, would be one of the greatest nations if she could rid herself of her shackles and her injurious entanglements; shackles and entanglements that have been forced upon her for more pretenses.
If the plundering nations would set aside their suspicions and animosities to lend her a helping hand, it would aid greatly in forstaying an impending European economic disaster.
But it seems that those nations are unwilling to let bygones be bygones, and they show their true colors; they will not eradicate their hatreds and rivalries even for their own good.
THEY ALSO GAIN
The fifteenth annual high school basketball tournament has been played and won, the high school teams are at home and now after the excitement of the various games has worn off and the story of the tournament has been told, the visitors are probably recounting to the home folks their impressions of life on Mount Oread.
thre is no question but that the tournament is of vital importance to the University in securing athletes and getting the men acquainted with K. U. But do the players as a body take something home which is worth while? Do they gain with the University?
Probably the greatest good which the men get from their visit is a changed and correct view of University life. They stay around at the various houses on the Hill and see students at their daily work. The high school players come up here with an idea that all is play and fun, that study is a barge; they depart with a very different view. They find out that most of the men and women on the Hill are up here with a definite purpose in mind and that study takes up a part of their time at least.
They also reconstruct their ideas of fraternities and this is in part both good and bad. The teams are kept by fraternities and thus they see only the fraternity side of Hill life and may possibly get the impression that fraternities are of major importance. Here lies the evil. The good obtained rests in the fact that they find that the Greek brotherhoods are not entirely frivolous and they find in these organizations a friendship and "hail fellow well met" attitude which leaves a good effect.
All in all, the student undoubtedly gains as much as the University.
A dormitory which will house seven-five girls is to be built at Man-batan. The state has appropriated funds for the building, which will be made of native stone.
ARE WE SUPERFICIAL
Suppose we start off by introducing something new in the way of axioms. Education is supposed to enlarge the cavity; you've got to fill it yourself.
The other day a group of students were looking at an art collection in Kansas City. They had stopped to admire a Birge Patterson when one of the party made this remark: "Isn't that a dirty old frame?"
Another, in recounting her experiences in the Royal Gorge last summer, tells of a trip up the mountains before sunrise so that they might see the splendor of a rising sun over the Gorge; a most artistic effect. Said she: "I didn't see what they wanted to go for. I can see the sun any time I want to. And they made me so mad! Manna fared around so long we were an hour late for breakfast and I was it really famished."
A well-known humorist and lecturer as scheduled to speak at the municipal auditorium in Houston, Texas one evening. Through a misunderstander, a charge of twenty-five cents was
out at the dors after the lecture, he was giving his service free of charge. So he prefaced his lecture by saying, in his humorous, drawing way, " folks, I'm mighty sorry they made his mistake. But I think I can give on a quarter's worth all right—'she've got any place to put it."
WHY NOT SCRAP THEM?
In a most interesting front page article in the current Saturday Evening in gPost, Samuel G. Biythe scores a direct hit on both the elephant and the donkey. "Why" he asks, "should we not scrap these present political machines which have passed their period if usefulness so long as we are in the crapping mood?"
Why not indeed? Fifty or sixty years ago, there was a very real need for them. Even as far back as the beginning of this century it meant something to be a Democrat or a Republican. There were issues, very vital issues, and when a voter lined up on one side or the other it was an indication that he stood for a certain definite valley.
Take the situation today. The Republicans, because they happen to be in power, are opportunists. The Democrats are obstructionists. If positions were shifted the designations would shift also. By an insidious program of propaganda the average voter is kept continually in the dark as to what are the real issues at stake. He comes up to election day all together dismantled and as a consequence, he catches anything and anybody just so long as there is a change.
The thing which is supplanting strong party organization is bureaucracy. Whenever a particular group want anything in the way of legislation, they form an alliance or combine and go after it to tooth and cannell. And they usually它it. Judge Kenyon said: "The United States is overorganized, and at the expense of public opinion. The safety of this country lies in a consensus of judgment among intelligent people. We are drifting towards a condition in which it is impossible to get this consensus when every industry and every avocation is closely and effectually organized."
You who pride yourself on being well informed, ask your self this one question: Why am I a Democrat or a Republican? And if you can find no more adequate answer than that your father belonged to that faith, it's time to take an inventory.
WOMEN IN POLITICS
Perhaps the best illustration of the actual influence of women in politics was a cartoon which appeared a year or so ago in which a politician was depicted fleeing from a group of women voters. These ladies overlook this man and were shown in deen conference with him. The final scene showed the women marching under the direction of this politician and carrying the time-hallowed banners of the old political parties.
This is a pertinent cartoon at present but a scene depicting future developments would probably have shown a tendency on the part of the women to discuss the theory of politics and to scrutinize issues which is something in which men with a hundred years of suffrage have shown little interest. Then too, women are going to be more discriminating in judging personalities of candidates. For a few years to come the women will have played their part if they force politicians to choose candidates a little more carefully than has been done in the past. It will take time for any organized women's vote to make itself felt in national politics but this interval does not mean that women are not taking advantage of their newly won powers now.
The future promises us a whole-
seme influence in politics because of
women's suffrage.
ANOTHER BANK FAILURE
Students who were thinking of "spring fever" last week can now start back to studying again.
Not in years has Kansas witnessed a crash which involves a hundred dollars loss. The Traders State Bank of Arkansas City "went to the wall" last week with nearly that amount in arrears. The reason is the usual one advanced: Unwise speculation.
We are only very slowly making progress in our march toward normality. With last year's whist situation and a general unsettled condition in the money market, this has been indeed a testing period for Kansas. Men in every walk of life have recognized the need of rigid economy. Hard work has for the most part replaced adventures in the market. And yet this bank's president has used his deposits in a frzenzied attempt to become wealthy. Not only that, but he has covered shortages with worthless paper, an impossible thing in the financial world.
The line between dishonesty and incapability is rather fine. In banking, the two terms are almost, if not quite, identical. There is a premium on the man who can carry tremendous responsibilities without losing his grip. Because there have been many of just such men at the wheel, a sweeping panic has been averted. And the American public is fast learning to single out the dependable concern with which to do business.
The proper reading distance is about fifteen inches from the eye. Most people read at a closer range even when not necessary for clear vision, thus causing severe muscular and accommodation strain.
Student's Health Code
The head should be held erect in reading to avoid ocular congestion. H i h tight collars should not be worn while studying.
Save Your Eyes: The average University course requires four years of exacting ocular labor.
The book should be hild slightly below or on a level with the eye, with the toon and bottom of the page equal distance from the eye.
The position of the reader should always be upright, leaning slightly backward, leaning forward cramps the chest, interfeires with normal respiration, stoops the shoulders and causes drowsiness.
Reading during convalescence, when thoroughly tired, or in a recurrent position causes an excessive loss of muscle likely to injure the eyes permanently.
The light should be on a level with the top of the head, or above the head end should illuminate over the hounder.
Reading in cars or other conveyance, where the constant jolting and continued changing of lights and shadows necessitates frequent, abrupt accommodative adjustment, is very injurious to the eyes.
Attempting to read in a dim light should be avoided.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a memorial which makes adequate provision for the physical and social needs of its students. It was constructed in 1917 to commemorate the great work of the late President Walker. It contains dining rooms, estimated to serve more than fifteen hundred persons, a library, a reading room, offices for student activities, and a gymnasium together with bowling alleys, squash courts, and pool tables. The Memorial is situated on the banks of the Charles River and overlooks Boston, as do all the buildings of Technology

Twenty fellowships of $1,000 each will be awarded - by the American Scandinavian Foundation for graduate study in Scandinavian countries. Candidates must be capable of original research and should be familiar with Swedish, Danish, or Norwegian the period of study is one year.
Art students at the University of Oregon have struck upon a unique method of raising money to buy glass ribbins for the art museum. The members of the national art club are making Batik designs on crepe de laque ties which will be sold to the students for $1.25 apiece.
Women at the University of Michigan have received offers of scholarships and fellowships in Lyees and Ecole Normales from the department of education and Offices National des Universités francaises in appreciation of the scholarships awarded to French women in America. The scholarships and fellowships in the Ecole Normal* de St. Germain are open to women not over twenty-four years of age who hold a bachelor's degree and are enrolled to women between the ages of seven and twenty who are freshmen, sophomores, or juniors and who can understand spoken French.
Power to expel students without giving reasons to the faculty has been given to the undergraduate governing body of Princeton University. This body is composed of students elected by all classes and may exercise the right of dismissal over those whom they find guilty of not upholding the good name and traditions of Princeton.
At Cornell University it has been estimated that it costs a student four times as much to live today as it did fifty years ago. Not including the cost of clothing or travel, the average student would pay $150 for the year $1,150, as for a total of $288 in 1872. Although no amount can be definitely set which would apply to all students, the 1922 estimate is what the average student spends. The average学生 $1500, which self-supporting students are able to live on $750.
Just recently was a demonstration on the campus of Texas University, by the men, against the modern dress of women. The co-eads became very indignant about the incident and demanded an apology. They felt as though the men were in no danger. Yet they were so understanding the fact that they continually dated the girls who wear short skirts. Furthermore they asserted that women's dress is no more extreme than that of men.
