The Daily Kannan aims to, piece by piece, the University of Kannan, to go furious at standing for the University of Kannan by foxing it so far. He offers to be mean, to be charming to be mean, to be charming to be more serious, probes to be more serious, serves to the best of his ability the university to serve the best of its ability the university.

UNIVERSITY ACTION new speed limit sign!
A few weeks ago at the corner of 14th and Oread street, Professor O'Lary was run down by an automobile and severely injured. Immediately the question of reckless driving on the campus leaped into the limelight. Some suggested that cars be parked off the campus and others were for a traffic officer at this dangerous corner. Many were the remedies advocated. The discussion lasted until Professor O'Lary was declared out of danger. Then the incident was soon forgotten and the traffic question was dropped. Nothing was done to prevent another such accident. Oh we beg your pardon. Something was done. A new speed limit sign was erected at the corner of 13 and Oread! A new speed limit sign! Conspicuous and forbidding it looms before the eye. Printed on a white background in large black letters are the words: University Campus Speed Limit 10 mis. Surely this will calm the reckless and hurried.
And now what is to be done to prevent future accidents?
But evidently the recent accident is forgotten. The car drivers are proceeding with their former speed and carelessness. Just this morning we saw a man barely escape being run down at the very same spot. But he was young and agile and he sprang safely aside.
THE PASSING OF THE VALENTINE
The Valentine is a thing of the past! This is the information garnered from a news story out of Chicago recently. What the "fapper" of today wants, so this story tells us, is a five pound box of chocolate or a dozen American Beauties; while the fearful creations of paper lace, with the entwining hearts,飞翔着 and sugar-coated verses, are in demand by "only little children that don't know any better, and old ladies with a touch of sentiment."
Well, what of it? You if you are a man remember when you spent your boarded nickles for one of those lace creations for Her, don't you? And don't you recall a feeling of regret as you considered the number of marbles those nickles would buy, or the yards and strings of string liceies?
You, if you are a man, never know, and never will know, what She thought of these tinselled offerings. But if, now that she has grown up, or at least grown older, she is showing a preference for more practical things, should you, who are a man, be aware the fact?
For now, were you a boy again, you could spend your nickles for the licence shoes strings, and even if your devotion was so great as to forbid your taking off a yard or two for yourself, at least your sense of the practical value of things would be appeased.
No! No! If the flapper(whatever a flapper may be) has flapped in the
direction of something of practical, and there is any hope of her little sister following in her footsteps, for Heaven's sake let her flap away, even at the expense of the valentine. And may she flap on toward something even more sensible and momentous.
IT AIN'T SPRING YET!
A few days ago our old friend, the ground-hog made his annual prognostication. It was "worse and more of it!" But up pops the official forecaster with the statement that the hog is a liar, that he is invariably a liar, and that we have in store for us another mild winter. We are inclined personally to be strictly neutral. The world will probably keep on revolving around its axis, or whatever it is, no matter which one has the best of the argument. But the fore-caster's statement must come as a distinct shock to such as believe in the power of the rabbit leg and the outlift board, or attach unwonted significance to the overturning of a salt seller or an early Monday morning visit to the pawn shop.
Of course there are those who are unkind enough to say that such mysterious manifestations of the occult stumble on to the correct solution of an tough enough to bumfome the innocent hystander and that the whole thing is a matter of luck and not science. Just the same, we're going to keep that brace of O. D. blankets where we can get to 'em!
GET THE MAN WHO'S DOING ...
The other day in Kansas City they arrested a bootlegger who had an interesting note book. It contained what was apparently a list of names of a number of customers rather high up in the social register, Everybody knows who the bootlegger was but the names of his interesting clients have not yet reached the public.
Prohibition is not failing because of bootleggers. Nor is it failing because young men—students for example—are naturally vicious and lawless; by far the majority of them are not. If it fails it will be because influential mature people—in many cases people who before the passage of the eighteenth amendment had some sense of social responsibility and didn't find it so essential to their existence, to soak themselves in alcohol—now think it a joke to tow into the law. And as long as they are able to hide behind anonymity not so very much can be accomplished by arresting the poor boot-egger.

But a romance starts within a week From a campus dance, where cheek meets cheek!
Lives there the man with soul so dead
Who never to himself hath said:

Student answer-I think it a well rounded out course What we don't get in class we get in examination.
AFTER
Away from the home-town girl.
Back to my Sunday best bet,
And the one that would be,
The brakes that would not forget
The breaks that I made.
Back to the old, old grind,
Back in the same old rut,
To classes unprepared.
Plans for a double-decked concrete stadium have been abandoned and, according to latest reports, will give way to the bowl type that has proved successful a well as economical at Stanford University.
The original plans were dropped when officials learned that such a structure at the student body located near the student body could have seven hundred thousand dollars.
On Other Hills
Toomey voluntarily admitted that he participated and received remuneration for a game played at Exeter for the American Legion knowing that he would be unable to participate in University sports. He felt that pressure of college work this semester would make it impossible for him to compete for a position on any one of the teams.

And a flunking grade.
"Crip" Toomey, star football one baseball player of the University, will compete in intercollege athletics. He has played professional football.
Final bids for the finishing of the Student Union building, amounting to 143,650 were to contractors yesterday by the Board of Regents, upon recommendations of the University architect.
Nearly all contracts call for the work to start immediately so that the building may be finished by this summer.
Away rhinoceros food.

Flans for a new style of structure for the California Memorial Stadium are being formulated. It is proposed that a bowl, rather than a double-decker type as originally planned, be constructed. The seating capacity of the Stadium will not be affected by the proposed changes, as they are planned to accommodate 65,000 persons.
The honor system in answering the roll call was established recently at Denpasar University in both the freshmen and the sophomore gymnasium classes. No names are called, each man present being expected to hand in his name to the instructor at the desk. All students asked to turn in a blank piece of paper in addition to their names. The next time they are present.
C. F. Chow and Bessie Ching. Chinese graduates of the class of 21, of the University of Tulsa, were married in Shanghai, China on Christmas morning. They became acquaintances attending the University of Illinois.

Benjamin G. Lamme
VISITORS at the Chicago World's Fair, in 1893, saw the first extensive use of alternating current ever undertaken, when Westinghouse lighted the entire grounds with this type of current. This achievement marked the beginning of the commercial development of alternating current for power purposes, and brc right the induction motor into a prominence which it has never since relinquished. Great and rapid have been the developments since that day, but the most impressive aspect of this progress is not to be found in the spectacular evidences that are visible to everyone, but rather, in the vision and fundamental soundness and determination that have been quietly at work blazing and clearing the trails which the electrical art has followed.
There is, for instance, the synchronous converter. This machine is the most efficient and economical means for changing alternating to direct current, which the operation of most street systems and many other processes require. Without it, the development of alternating current to its present universal usefulness would have been tremendously retarded.
The synchronous converter, in its present perfection, is but one of the great contributions to electrical progress that have been made by Benjamin G. Lamme, Chief Engineer of the Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. Mr. Lamme, in 1891 when he was Chief Designer, conceived and developed the converter, which, first used commercially in connection with the
great Niagara power plan, has since come to be indispensible to large producers of power.
When a man has played so vital a part in electrical progress that his knowledge and vision have contributed to practically every forward engineering step, it is perhaps misleading to attempt to identify him particularly with any one development. His work on the induction motor, the turbo generator, the single-phase railway motor, and the synchronous converter is but typical of the constructive ability which Mr. Lamme has brought to bear on practically every phase of electrical development.
A man of foresight, visioning the alternatives in a problem as well as its hoped-for results. A man whose mind combines great power of analysis with the gift of imagination. A profific technical writer, whose style is unequalled in clearness and simplicity of expression. Few engineers so thoroughly predetermine the results they actually achieve. Few men capitalize their experiences so completely. And few indeed have at once his thorough technical equipment, his commercial understanding, and his broad human interests.
An institution which has built its success largely on engineering achievement pays Benjamin G. Lanne affectionate loyalty and respect. The young engineer on his first job, as well as the most seasoned co-worker, finds in him understanding, sympathy, wise counsel, and a conscience; to all of which his associates, in preparing this article, are proud to bear witness.
