The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go for longer than merely printing the news by standing for positions; to be clean, to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to others; to help the best of its ability the students of the University.

CAMPUS TRAFFIC REGULATIONS.
the injury to Professor O'Leary Wednesday morning at the intersection of Fourteenth and Ordead brings to a head the question of regulation of automobile traffic on this campus—a campus the drive system of which is obviously ill arranged for heavy traffic. Practically all traffic on Mt. Ordend must flow through a single awning, or "neck" of travel).
There can be no defense for the reckless driving in which student car-owners indulge. The driver who ran down Professor O'Leary yesterday was no more to blame than many other drivers who have not yet been able to hit a pedestrian. But this is no excuse for reckless driving on the campus. The fact that nearly everybody drives recklessly is all the more reason for some regulation.
University authorities are puzzled as to what measures to take in order to insure safety for pedestrians on the campus. It is possible that the only remedy would be to follow the precedent set by Oklahoma and forbid automobiles on the campus. Another, ever perhaps a bitter one, would be to station some officially delegated person at the intersection and whenever a driver approached this crossing at a speed of say twenty-five to thirty miles an hour, stop this reckless driver and hand him a card which would inform him that he was barred from bringing a car on the campus for a month. At the end of the month, if this driver still refused to consider the public welfare, let him be barred from driving a car during the semester.
While the injury to Professor O'Leary is regretted by everybody, he will not be the last one injured on this campus unless remedial measures are taken at once.
The last solution would not penalize careful drivers as it wouldn't do to prohibit all cars on the campus.
WHY RAZZ THE FRESHMAN?
Razz is the official undergraduate instrument of reform. If a freshman is different, razz him. If he has too much to say, razz him. If he doesn't show any spirit, razz him. If he hasn't any brains, razz him. If he has more than he knows what to do with, razz him. If in any particular he is not a regulation college man—whatever that is—razz him.
Without a doubt the razz is the great pump-Reducer. Wilt-timed and applied moderately, it probably has kept many a man's head inside his hat, and taught him to take a full course from the campus masters before tooting his horn in public. It has made the mightiest and the lowest watch their step.
But it can be overdone.
It is a serious question whether it is either neces- sary or fair to wreck a man's college career because he lacks the faculty of getting onto the ropes with the average speed. Whatever may be the doubt as to whether he deserves the treatment due an intelli- gent man, he certainly deserves the treatment forth- coming from "intelligent" men. And certainly no man deserves less ridicule and more help than the chap who seems to the rest of us to be a long distance in the rear, and whose continued presence in college under great difficulties is a matter of wonderment. That he does it is the chief fact. That he has the ability to keep up in his class work should be enough to commend him at least to the tolerance of the campus char- character who boasts that he can sail on a calm C without cracking a book; and as for the rest of us, we know, or should know that it is not our province to render a fellow student's task harder than it is.
SMILE STIMULATORS
Did you ever see a student walking down the street with his head high, a smile on his face, and acting for the world like a kid who had just received a new pair of skates for Xmas? You look at him with wonder and amazement. You can't fathom the idea that a student could be feeling so good when all around him are hard times, cruel professors and low grades. Still, occasionally, you see such a sight—see it with your own eyes. It must be true.
Let us look into the cause of such strange phenomenon; there must be some reason for it. We take an introspection of ourselves and find out what would make us act in a similar manner. We look over our past history and discover that once upon a time we also felt good—even smiled and felt hilarious to the point of shouting.
After further brain racking, we discover that the cause originated from one or two of several sources. We might have just been given a good date, received a check from home, knocked a quiz for an "A," finished a long delay notebook, or a hundred other things which happened at the moment when the psychic reaction would be a broad smile and a youthful feeling.
Try knocking a quiz for an "A" once; hand in that long delayed note book; tell that cruel, evasive professor that you wish you knew as much about the subject as he. Then if you still experience no thrilling sentences some where about your anatomy, you had best consult the family physician; you may have a new disease.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Weather burials told of no snow storms in this section of the country during the holidays, but there was a very heavy snow at the Jayhawk office, it is officially reported. So heavy, in fact, that some people seem to have thought a buck book was all they needed to pay their bills before leaving for the holidays.
A Sir Alm may be trusted to earn his way through college. One of their number has a get-rich-quick ice whohere he locs the wolf from the door. He makes a bet with another man that he can take one "man" in a game of checkers, give his opponent twelve and keep him from moving into the king row. He then reliably moves into the opponent who "jumps" him—and the game is over. "Alex" pocket's the money.
This is the way Dr. Helen Mahin of the department of Journalism secured the attention of her students when the class discussion was interrupted by murmurings in different parts of the room:
"Class, there are six private conversations being married on now, and I am sure they are intently interested, but they are such a strain on my curiosity that I should not allow them to affect any class so that I may hear them privately."

Speaking in the Municipal Government class about how easy it was to secure signatures to any kind of a written, Prof. C. M. Fassett related an incident that happened while he was a member of the Nevada tourgée.
A petition, purported to be for the purpose of allowing a page to visit his sick mother, was handed the legislators, who signed without reading. After a man called the legislator, they discovered that it was a petition to hang the governor.
On Other Hills
An annual intercollegiate basketball tournament was held in New York, December 27, 28 and 29. Five colleges were entered in the tournament. Cornell has won for the last two years.
Cornell calls its "cut system" a "lack of system" because there are no definite rules regarding cuts. Penalty or punishment is left to the professors.
Yale University is planning to spend $300,000 for improving its track facilities. The plans include a new track on the site of the old freshman football field, the section of cement stand to seat thousands of spectators, and a house containing 2400 lockers. The new track, 24 feet wide, is to include a 220-yard straightway, with 20 yards at either end for starting and stopping. A row of trees will be planted along the east side and also the south end of the track to break the wind of the wind.
The Dean of Women of Ohio State University, Miss Elizabeth Corrad, has been granted a four month leave of absence to attend the international meeting of students to be at Peking, China, March 30 to April 21.
Titan Tita is the name with which a new club at Goucher College has endowed itself. It was organized by a fow of the colleges, and is for "any man, woman, or child of the United States, or anywhere else who can certify that he, or she it has bona-fide red hair," membership fee, for *or* men or for *men*, or for *women* award the building on the campus of a college building of brick red in symbolism of the society which enabled it to see light.
Dr. Augustus Koenig, instructor in metallurgy at the University of Pennsylvania, was arrested and charged with having shipped wine and brandy valued at $4,000 into Philadelphia on illegal medical permits. Dr. Koenig was released on $2,000 bail.
Gosner J., Mang, B.S.13, M. S.17, spent the holidays with his parents at Russell, Kan. Mr. Mang, who was formerly an instructor in the department of chemistry, is now Assistant Chief Chemist for the Galena Signal Oil Co., subsidiary company of the Standard Oil Co.'s at its central offices in Franklin, Pa. Mr. Mang recently perfected a paper on the effect of iron ink on the surface of paper that it does not gum the pen. The ink is used now in all the Galena Signal Oil Company's offices and Mr. Mang is planning to place his product on the market in the near future.
LO YOU READ ENOUGH? From the Daily Emerald.
Although opporate, it seems new curiosity true that the majority of college students take but little interest in the happenings of the outside world, if they take up a newspaper, the space is the first, and in many cases the only page when they ream. It is true, nowadays, that college men have more and more frequently taken an active interest in current affairs. Such incidents as the recent presidential election, the League of Nations fight, and the present interest in the limitation of armaments point to a change. But as yet these movements are conducted by a small group of undergraduates take little or no interest in the affairs of the days. There is apparent reason why this should be true unless it is the fact that college students do not read enough to have an idea of what is going on in the world. How are college men to become leaders which can conform mocking if they do not form the habit of studying those problems while in college?
If the college student is to become a leader and be really educated, he must read. He must keep in touch with the progress and development of the affairs of the world thus reading the daily newspapers. He should make use of the library, for there one can procure books, presenting texts to the fine arts. It is by using the volumes, found these that the individual can develop mentally into a well-rounded and bread-b-minded citizen.
Thus the opportunity is offered the students at Ohio University to obtain many of the things which are denied the outlier. The world expects the college graduates to be "well read" because of these countless opportunities. It is up to each individual student to take advantage of them and thus obtain a more liberal and broader education.

COMMENTS ON OUR COLLEGE
From the N. Y. Receiving Post
Undergraduates, I find, are much the name on both sides of the Atlantic. But there's one great difference; and that is the readiness of the young men on this site to undergo the hardships of adolescence at that. Oxford and Cambridge have each their weekly students paper; but they are modest affairs, edited secretly by a single sname-faced man in his own rooms, printed in some obscure den behind a hotel and furnished with a telephone (?) by a few hundred persons.
Here, however, the comic papers of the leading universities have large staffs and special buildings and are generally more elaborate and more widely read. And I must say that they seem to me to be more comic. In particular, they have more artists. At O. and C. those who can write -1 mean will write- for the Isis or the Granta, but the number of those who are prepared to draw in public is, as a rule, extremely small. The Harvard Lampoon and the Yale Record seem to be in much better case. The Lampoon by the way, is so overflowing with merriment that it has books filled with building whispers that look funny, because it was assured that it was intended to look funny, so as to be in character. Ingenious fellows, these architects.
But to us the amazing things are the university dailys. These, so far as I know, have no counterpart in England. In this University (I will not tell you which) there is a students' daily which has 3,000 readers. This figure puzzled me for a little, until I was told that nearly all the editors of the paper are also ansscripters; so the paper is well read.
