Address all communication to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, K. U. 25 and 46 The Daily kansas aims to picture the under- graduate life of the University of Kansas, to go fur- ther. the ideals the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to others; and to best the best of its ability the students of the University. TUESDAY, JANUARY 3, 1922 A Wichita man has defined income as something we can neither live within or without. e should consult some college man about the later proposition. K. U. CAN HELP Conditions in Russia this winter are in no wise fully understood by the average student of the University of Kansas. Pictures of scenes in that far away land may have been shown us; word description of the morbid state of affairs there may have reached our eyes; and perhaps some friend may have spoken of the Russian famine to us. Yet the fact that ten million people of Russia will die before spring if something definite and big is not done immediately does not readily impress us here on Mt. Oread. Perhaps our sympathy is aroused, but the necessary interest which leads to action is lacking. The American Relief Administration is in the Russian field now. So is the Friends Service Committee, a Quaker organization. Recently the United States government saw fit to appropriate twenty million dollars with which to buy grain for the Russians. Probably no government ever before voluntarily set aside such an amount to sustain the people of another country. Such is the magnanimity of American statesmanship. But grain sent over in this way is mostly to be used for planting in the Spring. The Russians must have food to eat and clothes with which to protect themselves this winter. While the Friends Service Committee is doing a great work—the they are feeding more than a million people daily now—they must be backed. The Russians have practically no other sustenance now than that which the Americans carry to them. For months, they have been living largely on bread made of ground up leaves and grass picked up along the roadside. A few of them can still afford soup of horse meat. They are all in a sorry lick indeed. What K. U, students can do most of all to help the Russians is to send clothes. A little box of clothes was sent from here just before the Christmas holidays. Only a very few persons were asked to contribute to the undertaking. Another box should be sent within the next few days. Whatever is done should be done quickly if much good is to be accomplished. The Friends Service Committee at Philadelphia will receive money contributions for the work. It is estimated that ten dollars will keep one child from starving for about eight months. Money gifts are greatly appreciated by the Committee at Philadelphia. However, the donation of used clothing is perhaps easier for college folk, and almost equally acceptable. Another box will doubtless be made up some where on the campus soon. If it is, let every true Jayhawk take a look through his wardrobe for the things that he can part with for the sake of some shivering fellow being over in Moscow and then let him proceed up the Hill with his bundle of warm garments to be added to the pile. The University of Kansas can well afford to show some sentiment of generosity if the United States congress can. "GROUP VII" Considerable complaint among students of the University has been directed of late to the scope of "Group VII" in the curriculum of the College. In "Group VII" they are four departments—economics, political science, sociology and history proper. Objection is raised that a student is not allowed, under present regulations, to get as many hours as he may desire in these subjects which, it is claimed, are not really closely related. The University rule that no one may take more than twelve hours in any group causes many students majoring in one of these departments in the history group to feel hampered in the selection of their courses. Each major usually carries about nine hours in his own department. The twelve hour rule thus prohibits one from enroling in a five hour course on a combination of two two hour courses outside his department but in his group. Criticism is not directed at the twelve hour rule, however. . Such an arrangement tends to scouter, and thus balance, the student's college training. The complaint is against the inclusion of these four more or less independent departments in one group. It is cited, for example, that a student majoring in economics, directing his attention mainly to the problems of foreign exchange, cost accounting and the like, should not be prohibited from studying the history of Italian Renaissance, or of the Greeks, or even of Modern Asia, if he so desires. In fact, some other schools of the University are more closely related to the departments in the history group as regards subject matter than some of the departments in the group are related to each other. The School of Education and the department of sociology have much in common. With the expansion of the University and the ever increasing number of courses offered and likewise the ever increasing specialization of those courses in their particular shapes, it seems possible that some division can be made. The entire group contains nearly 175 different courses. There should be a place for a division somewhere. Perhaps history proper political science and sociology could be grouped together for one division, leaving economics for the other. Many students and faculty members are greatly interested in this situation. Surely the facts and morits of the case deserve consideration by the officials of the University. Student Opinion To the Editor, Daily Kansan: May I, as a freeborn American citizen, protest against the piratical methods employed by the alleged laudrices of Lawrence? I am married; consequently I am ill affront to lose clothes weekly and have to replace them out of my own funds. Yet every week I am almost driven to suicide and I open up the "wash" and total up the casualties. We have been patronizing a local laundry for almost two months. In that time they have succeeded in successfully losing the following articles of apparel: one suit, two dresses, two shirts and one suit of underwear, one shirt and one laundry bag. Or in the event that nothing is lost, there are sure to be buttons lost or something torn. I used to make fun of the French women who pounded on their clothes down by the side of the creeks; I was highly amused by their primitive methods. Now I see the light. I have come to the conclusion that, after experiences with modern laundries, the aforementioned ladies went back to the simple style of hand washing for relief. If there were any crecks near my place it is probable that I would get down on my knees and scrub my dirty linen. Almost any system would beat a modern laundry. Desperate. Editor of the Daily Kansan: Twice recently my wife's name has been misquoted in connection with the Quill Club. In the first number of the Oread Magazine the little poem, "The Runaway," falsely assailed to Mrs. George A. Hess, was written by a young girl named Tracy. Likewise, it was she, and not my sister, Edith Hess, who was nieced Wednesday to the Quill Club. Believing that accuracy is a cardinal virtue, I make bold to offer this correction. John A. Hess. Plain Tales from the Hill A K. U. woman's engagement was recently announced. Her younger sister immediately began to make for her a number of brightly colored sport handkerchiefs. "Are you making those for Muriel's cheetah?" as she imaged the contents of a newly acquired piece of edar furniture. Ruth: "No, for her nose." One K. U. man has learned from practical laboratory work in the swimming pool that water magnifies objects beneath its surface, that it refracts rays of light, and makes distances seem longer than they are. He was a six-footer and a lover of aquatic sport; he thought he'd show the other men in the pool how to dive. He leaped head first into two feet of water. Now he can't get his hat on. Some men are born daters; some achieve dates; and others have dates thrust upon them. Recently an alumna of a popular sorority returned to visit her brother, who was in the last couple departing for a dance at Engles Hall. The man who had called for one of her sisters came to the rescue. He hailed a stranger passing the house and asked him if he wanted to go to a dance. "Not until he was安然了." "Going to the dance?" she was asked. "Sure, if I can find a man. Any one will do." "Wait a minute." The stranger was taken by the arm, led out under the street light where he was given the "once over" and passed inspection, then the two couples proceeded to the dance. "Yes I'll go." he consented. By a recent ruling of the faculty of the New York University, the sophomores will be allowed to haze the freshmen for a period of a month, in order to enforce their attendance. Other infringements are to be reported to the faculty. WHAT AME From the Ohio State Lantern The annual indoor sport of giving the student directory the once over and rummaging over its varied pages is now at its height. The Lantern has printed its traditional feature story about how many Flies are in school, and has treated upon the whimicalness of the contents. vorn by the living WHILE AMF It will be said that many families bear great distinction. They do. Integrity and genius have a habit of running in certain strains that way. But every family of high standing has its recessive trait and its black sheep, and every family of low rating has its outstanding son or daughter who far outpaces his parents and brothers or sisters. The diversion thus practiced by the students brings up the age-old question, "What's in a name?" After all, what is it? The name a person bears is merely a designation. It distinguishes them from others. It is more or less of a label. Names, although mere designations, may mean a great deal. They may be made famous through hard work and ability. They may become watchword of progress, respected everywhere. It should be the ambition of every man or woman to make his or her name one of this kind. WANT ADS All Want advertisements are each $15.
