The Daily Kannan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kannan; to go further than merely printing the news by elaborating it, she seeks students who are not favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems on the ground; to be the best of its ability the students of the University.

We often wonder what folks unacquainted with our college athletes think of them after looking at their pictures in the metropolitan papers.
THE KANSAN'S BIRTHDAY
The Kansas celebrates today the teenth anniversary of its beginning as a daily publication. A decade is not a great period for anything to have lived, and yet, as college papers go, ten years of publication is more than most of them can boast of.
Ten years is just about long enough for a newspaper to be settled in its policies and its habitations and for it to get identified in its community as to its purposes. It can surely be said that the Kansan is settled however, and perhaps is never will be. With its editorship pass into different hands every month and the personal of its entire force changing about every two years, one can not hope for such a thing.
A few general characteristics can be adhered to, however, and have been consistently followed throughout the time which the Kanman has been circulated on the Hill. It tries to be cheerful, courageous, and above all, truth. Sometimes if it can't be cheerful. Sometimes it gets overcourageous. Once in a while it is accused of being untruthful. Notwithstanding such ships, no one can say that it is not sincere. Considering the fact that every bit of work done on the paper, from writing the personal mention items to editing the stories, writing the heads, organizing the force of reporters, etc., is done by experienced learners, a few mistakes can well be overlooked. Errors in judgment as well as rhetorical and typographical blunders are not to occur under such circumstances.
It should always be remembered that The Daily Kansan is the result of the labors of students and that it is not a commercial enterprise. When it is good it is so because the editors have taken a personal pride in making it so.
One outstanding point about a college daily paper is that it IS a daily. This is speaking from the standpoint of the students who edit the publication and get it out to the readers five times a week. For the sake of comparison, let us consider some of the schools and departments on the campus, and scan their activities. The lava have their debates with the engineers. The engineers have their gala days each year, in which great parade figure largely. The fine arts students give their recitals, and the dramatists their plays. But these are all periodic or single affairs. They require much time taken from the students' purely academic work for a while, and then they let up. The college paper must come out every day.
college paper must come again. Let me suppose that some unusual occasion comes along which the entire University wishes to recognize. The fitting way to recognize a grand occasion is to declare a holiday. Nine times out of ten, however, the journalists take advantage of the opportunity to get out not only a paper but an extra, a special edition.
In the K. U. department of journalism it is so arranged that some credit is given for work on the Kanan during the student's sophomore and junior years. Work on staff positions does not count however, and what is done along that line is merely for the "joy of working." No one would say that such employment is not educative, not worth while. But it is as if the engineers were to put on their parade every day throughout the school year, or as if the dramatists were to conduct a repertory theater from September to June.
suggest a reportable measure.
We do not advocate the carrying out of either of these suggested measures, but surely, for continuity of extra curricular work, the journalists stand well at the head of the list.
Student Opinion
To the Editor, University Daily Kansan:
crthare is much indication on the Hill at present because the W. S. G. A. refused to lift the date rule for the American Legion free public entertainment at the F. A, U. Hall.
Why is it that the American Legion must be disciplined against?
Hundreds of students on the Hill are members of the Legion, others here or at their respective home towns. They are loyal to their organization and wish to be as much as possible. They could go, of course, but what of the University women who are relatives, friends, of sweetheartss of the Legionnaires? They wanted to go, too, but just because W. S. G. A takes upon itself to have a hand in the pot at everything that goes on around her or site refuse to recognize such an event, they were prevented from goin.
mute sure say. Someway that the W. S. G. A. based their refusal to take the date rule because not all members of the American Legion are students. Assuming that this is the reason for the stand taken, I wish to know this: what difference does it make if the Legion entertainment was not a strictly studenttaffair? While the Legion is not a student organization its members are civilized and well behaved, and surely University women would not be contaminated were they allowed to go to one of its entertainments.
Four years ago nothing was too good for the "boys." The war was fought "for Democracy," according to the prophets, and after the war the son of a brick layer would be on an equal footing with the offspring of a millionaire. Ah! beautiful fairy tale!
Legionnaires may as well reconcile themselves to the fact that anything sponsored by them is officially "taboo," that University women just simply must not be allowed to go to such things, dontknow me perfectly all right to ruleate rule for roow shows, because they are to any entertainer staged by those naughty, horrid soldiers.

Editor University Daily Kansan:—
While your reporter made a clever story about the architects in Thursday's Kansas, and most readers doubtless appreciated the writer's evident interest, they unfortunately misrepresented and one mistaken conclusion.
The article speaks of two women students steadily climbing up the other staircase as the faculty departed following a rule that work should stop at ten o'clock. This misrepresents the girls of the department. At the time referred to there was no rule about ping at ten o'clock. Up to that time, they were not stayed for all night and voluntarily gone from the gym, the holiday season having interfered with work on the problem, the girls found themselves in need of more time and two of them stayed and worked all night, but one of the faculty was also there the entire time. Realizing that this would impair the department to criticism the girl voluntarily ranged that there should be an intractable chaperone who is around and on the few similar occasions when long holidays interfered there was always present a chaperone acceptable to the authorities as well as one or more of the faculty.
The training of Charette week, which the article says is shattered by a few rules, has not been eliminated. Architectural design is not taught by rule; it is taught by exposition and learned by experience. The student, in his desire to improve his design, continues on the preliminary studies until he has scant time for making the final drawing, which must be completed by a time set by the Beaux-Arts Institute of Design for malling the drawings from all parts of the country. As a result there is feverish haste in the last few days, the student sometimes attains work all the last night. There is nothing compulsory about it as students are required to send their drawings to the institute, although they all desire to do so. The institution is found in all architectural schools. While the department was snail there was little need to frown on the practice. However, the department has felt that it would be wise to avoid work and a rule requiring work to be finished at a time earlier than that set by the Institute has resulted. This does not eliminate the "tradition" of Charette week and the all night work if the student cares to continue it. It only changes the night and eliminates the feature which was found to unfit the student for his Monday classes.

Plain Tales from the Hill
After about sixty revolutions of the crank without so much a sputter from the motor, the youth removed his impetus and tested the spark plugs. As they received it all right he recommended his winding, but to no avail. Another student offered his services and after careful inspection of the mechanism of the little Ford, tried to crank it, but the motor still failed to respond.
The Girl came out of East Ad from her class and started to crank her little Ford coupe. The Gallant Youth, who was a former Boy Scout and who still tried to do at least one good deed each day, volunteered to the winding.
A student in one of the Oral Interpretation classes thought it fitting at this time to give reading entitled "It's Never too Late to Succeed," for the benefit of those students who leave all their studying until just before the final examinations.
ISN'T THAT JUST LIKE A WOMAN?
the switch.
"a swiff, jerk of the crank and "Burr" went the motor, a swiff, the first youth watched the car move swiftly down the street toward Brick's, he gasped to the other, 'nast that just like a woman?'
Suddenly, from the girl, "Oh! I forgot to turn on the switch."
A school paper is a great invention,
The school gets all the fame;
The printer gets all the money;
The staff gets all the blame;
Two University women passed a farm wagon drawn by an aged horse. "Why, look at those cockle burens in that horse's mane and tail," one exclaimed.
AND A SENIOR AS THIS
The other wanted to know, "What do they put them there for?"

Contemporary Comment
ALWAYS RIGHT Michigan Daily.
From the amount can ever be brought to a satisfactory conclusion as long as one party to the affair is "always right" and the other can not "possibly be wrong." One of the beneficial phases of educational training results when men of different ideas meet and weigh their arguments, fairly and mindedly, one against the other, but a bit of dogmatism or the "can-be-told anything" attitude will make it directly disingenuable.
The man who is always right, who knows everything, who can't be told anything, is uncomfortable and disaffected with himself. It is usually the clink of ignorance, this attitude, but it rarely deceives the man who wears it. If advice is offered he immediately becomes antagonistic to it, and if advice is asked he will give it with the idea that it must be respected to the exclusion of his own individual point of view. He does not solve the problem of our existence is to find the happiest solution to the Chinese puzzle of fitting suitably together several hundred million of highly diversified natures and dispositions and characters.
The whole thing hinges on the point of betting, the other fellow's angle on the subject, of the putting of oneself in his place, of respecting his knowledge and his rights, of being open-minded, and of forgetting that idea of being always right and knowing it all.
To accept the job of never making mistakes is too tough a responsibility. Besides, such individuals are uninterested in the job and it is not necessary to be always right.
