U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kinnaar; to go further than merely printing the news by play; to play no favories; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious passion for teaching; to bear the heat of its ability the students of the University. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 18, 1923 Here it is National Thrift Week and time to buy quiz books all at the same moment. EXPECTING TOO MUCH It's the time of the year when students begin to get their lamps trimmed and burning, lay in a supply of good strong coffee, sharpen up their pencils as well as 'their wits, finish term papers, get together scrap books, and check up in general on their term's work. On top of all this and sudsy other necessary tassles, the exacting pedagogue who has been unable to complete the class work begins to tell the worry wracked students that. "Although I haven't found time to complete the text, you, of course, will be held responsible for the entire book in the Quiz, and these papers which I didn't time to present you in class you will find in the library, and will be hold accountable for. In addition to your regular work, your term papers, your note books, scrap books, outside reading reports, applied trips, daily tests, projects, drawings, outlines, and various other triennial things which I have required of you in this course, I shall expect you to read all the articles concerning this subject in all the magazines from 1900 to 1922 in the general library, and some special articles in our seminar. I know I hadn't told you before definitely that I required you to do this but I'm telling you now so that you'll have a chance to do it before the final quizz!" It is this sort of thing from nearly every instructor that makes the student this time of year look widely, talk in his sleep (what little he gets), mutter constantly to himself, forget his coat in a snow storm, pass up his best friends without recognition, and renders him generally incapacitated and irresponsible for what he does. Statisticians have it that in 1921 auto accidents have caused a death in the United States every thirty-five minutes. Here on Mt. Orcad a fellow stands a good chance every fifty minutes of getting killed that way, al right, all right. - Governor Allen is going to bare the entire story of his college life at a meeting of Baker University alumni to be held soon. Wouldn't Alex Howat love to get hold of that story? (Preamning, of course, that the Governor had the disreputable college career with which prominent men are usually credited.) THIRTY CANDIDATES FOR GOVERNOR THIRTY CANDIDATES The entrance of Miss Helen Pettigrew, of Kansas City, Kansas in the gubernatorial race is about the thirtieth to be made already. Which brings up the question, "Why so many more aspirants to the chief executive office of the state this year than usual? What does it mean?" The reason is that a heterogeneous array of isues have arisen out here in Kansas as everywhere else. Times are unsettled. Readjustments are being made. Everybody has an idea or ideas, about how everything that is now wrong should be righted. And with so many platforms advanced, it will be a hard task for the voters to choose the most sensible of them next fall at voting time. Now, if ever, the men and women who are to cast the ballots should become informed of the principles at stake in the political life of their community. It may not be possible for the layman to see all the fallacies in a candidate's theories. It may not be possible for the parties to pick their best candidates. Nevertheless, an earnest and intelligent investigation of matters through careful reading from now until time for the primaries and then on to the elections will make for a better managed Kansas during the next term of office than would otherwise result. DRESS AND THE WOMEN *Are crepe de chine dresses, seal skin coats, satin pumps, and champagne hud stockings for school wear?* The high school girls in Washington, D. C. have decided that they were not and have decided that they will try to eliminate them from the school girl's wardrobe. To do this most effectively they have planned a fashion show at which six different types of girls will be shown wearing the type of clothes most suitable for school and business wear. school and business wear. The fashion show idea might not be practical for University women, although it seems like a very good plan in theory. But something ought to be done to make the women on Mount Oread realize that they can dress sensibly, suitably, and attractively without resorting to dancing pumps and crepe de chine dresses. Many of the girls on the campus wear simple serge dresses and sensible shoes, but there are a few others who spoil the whole campus scenery. Campus Opinion Editor. The Kansan— It has been ordained that the new library be placed back of Snow Hall. Of all the places to put a library, I think that would be the last. Have you ever stood on the south side of Mount Oread and looked across that broad stretch of fertile valley, dotted with farmhouses and ribboned with roads? Wouldn't it be nice as we walk along to have this view shut off by a wall of cold stone? Wouldn't it be nice when we have to go to the library some evening after a book, to chase clear across behind Snow Hall after it? How sweet the smoke from the new power plant would waft fragrance in our nostrils as it drifts in through the the tinkling of that jangling street car as it shrikes its painful way around the curve. I suggest it be put across from the Sig. Alf. house. It isn't much farther and anyway we need students the walk. A Sophomore Plain Tales from the Hill THE COCK STILL CROWS THRICE The poet wrote, "Up roos our host, and was our aler ock," which translated into the colloquial vernacular means, "Up rose our landlord and woke us all." Chaucer's word "ock" which was perfectly permissible in his day, has been suspended by the word "rooster." **rooster** Had Chauner been one of the upperclassman, of a fraternity he would have written, "Up roose our freshmen at six o'clock and was "rooster" for us all." The fraternity freshmen enjoy a privilege that some freshmen are denied. They are required in rotation to be "rooster" for a week at a time. It is his duty to rise at six o'clock each morning, "crow up the sun" make the rounds of all the sleepers and waken each brother who has signified his desire to rise at a specified time. Woe be unto the freshman if he does not succeed in walking the dormant! After several verbal chastisements and perhaps one physical, he learns that all is not awake which sits up in bed, beds heavy eyes and says, "All right, Ed, thanks for calling me." He merely a机械 response but an stimulus. He waits on his sleep, and perhaps an arm or two later will wake and berate the underclassman for failing to call him. The freshman learns after a few day's experience that he must stick to his post and crow, as it were, until the sleeper has hit the cold floor and shown signs of ill humor. "They are never awake as long as they are polite and thank you for calling them," says one who has earned a degree in the profession, "but when they begin to get grouchy, you can be reasonably sure they won't go back to sleep." won't go back. Those who have performed this duty agree that it is without its rewards. It is well worth getting up at six o'clock they say just to see the expressions on different faces when the men are called. In invariably they ask one of two questions. Half of them want to know, "What day is this?" They seem always to have the hope that it will be a holiday and they can go to bed and finish their dream. The other half always asks, "What are we going to have for breakfast?" If it is the same old menu, they prefer to go without food for the sake of a few more winks of sleep. But if there is some new delicacy to offer as a temptation the rooster can sometimes persuade the sleeper to rise at the hour he himself has set. At the University of Idaho, a student loan fund has been created by the medical examiner to be loaned to students who need surgical attention unexpectedly and are short of funds. It will be loaned at a low rate of interest. On Other Hills At the Iowa-Illinois debate recently, the audience was allowed to decide which of the teams did the best work. There was an open discussion after the debate, then the audience cast their votes. Viola Dana appeared at the "assembly" of the University of Utah recently. She spoke on phases of the motion picture field. Church week is being observed at the University of Chicago. It is in charge of the Y, M, C, A. Dr.Pausw University celebrated its hundredth anniversary recently. Phi Beta Kappa initiated six members recently at the University of Iowa. The University of Pennsylvania trimmed Yale in an ice hockey game recently, for the first time in history. The score was 4 to 2. The Daily Kansan's staff of high school correspondents is being appointed this week. By the first of the week instructions will have gone out on Friday morning, when to send it." The department will be started about January 25. Ten Years Ago Today A University Rifle Club has been organized under the rules of the National Rifle Association that will compete in a boating course. Membership is encouraged through louge this year. Membership is open to all regularly enrolled students. The French Circle did not meet this afternoon on account of frozen steam pipes in their room. The pipes burst Tuesday and flooded the room and it was impossible to beat the room today. The basketball t'am won its game with Baker by a score of 45 to 18. The visitors were hopelessly outplayed. Contemporary Comment BEFUDDLED University of Washington Daily. Are you horribly upset because the old ideas which used to form the basis of your philosophy and to seem the foundation of all truth have moved away into a more shameful light of scientific knowledge? Are all the things which need to inspire your efforts and your enthusiasm as you look out upon a seemingly simple world naively and unquestioningly through your first pair of eyes, that faded into nothingness leave in you to grope in a blinding light? The totering of old ideas and habits of thought, though it must upset one's complacency temporarily, need not disturb the student too much if he but remember that it is a process which everyone must go through in forming a philosophy with a solid foundation. It is the beginning of an effort for the blinding light and comfort to oneself that the universe is not as simple as it at first seemed. The read to itself is stream with the ideal bodies of old ideas. Stuart: "Is your girl fond of an argument?" Skillset: "I'll say she is, she won't even eat anything that agrees with her." Howard Maroon. From the Iowa State Student The colleges in the country should take care that they do not fill the mum with educated men. so beneves a group of farmers at Red Oak, Iowa, from whence comes some resolutions that Iowa State College either cut down its production of graduates by 25 per cent or suspend school for five years. Somebody is trying to get some practice on Resolving and Whereasning again. TEACH HIM TO TODDLE "What?" asks our good friend, Dr. Vernon L. Kellogg, "shall be done with the unusually bright College student?" Opinions differ. Some think holding under the pump helps. Others have making him `b_i` Pai Beta Kappa, and thus keep him to busy with his key that he won't have time for other things. Often he is successfully jimmed by putting him on the football team, but sometimes • It takes athletes and a dash of culture in order to show how troubleheads is, not hopeless. As a last resort give him a whiff on the dance floor. The process may bring down his grades to normal, but sometimes it unsettles his mind. While on the train en route to Viechkau, Millineter Russel heard a lady exclaim: "Oh, I dropped my wile out of the window."
