The Daily Kannan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it, and not merely writing articles or outties; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to water bodies; in the best of its ability to contribute to the University.

The role that plays the largest part in college is the bank roll.
THE BAT FLAPS ITS WINGS
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Bat did not belie its name.
Spookiness, unsolvable mystery, intangible plot, and high-pitched, emotional melo-drama—all were included in the uncanny flapping of its hairy wings.
it kept its audience on edge—in truth, on too sharp an edge for mental comfort at times. It jarred the imagination. It glutted the human taste for ultra-sensational, skin-creeping mystery.
In its way it was a huge success—and in other ways it wasn't. Whether the net influence of the play was for good or bad, even on purely entertainment basis, is a debatable question.
Certainly it was no play for a nervous, elderly spinner of sixty, with a weak heart.
ALL GUMMED UP!
A poster in front of a Campus building the other day announced a smoker for the miners. And we thought all the time that young men under 21 were not allowed to smoke.
America's chewing gum bill is $100,000 a year. It has been ascertained, after much figuring, that the total number of chews chewed in a year aggregate more than twenty-five billion miles.
Did you know that Americans are chewing gum at the rate of forty-five miles an hour? This makes the cost of chewing about $286 a mile.
HAIL TO THE HIKERS
Some of us have gymnasium, some play football or basketball, or go out for track, and the rest of us hike or nurse a beautiful cold through the winter months.
Hail to the bikers! Their names are not in the sport columns, their pictures are absent from the section of the Jayhawks devoted to athletics, no "rah. rah's" encourage them; traveling singly, in couples, or in groups, wearing old clothes and parts of cast-att arm uniforms, setting out to gain a few hours recreation by the process of putting one foot in front of the other, they have their rewards.
They return with freshend minds and a renewed ability for application to the work at hand.
WHY BORROW?
We are all intimately acquainted with that well known nuisance—the borrower. We all have him spotted. We all know his habits.
Some of us are strong enough to refuse him flatly, but most of us sigh resignedly when he asks for the lean of this or that. Rather than be unclevil, we keep him in money, cigarettes, in tooth paste, or in soap. When he thanks us blithely and assures us of prompt payment, we smile acridly—and bid goodbye forever to our belongings.
And yet this type of man is a joy compared with the borrower who takes without asking. It has become a common occurrence to most of us to plan on wearing a certain suit or dress only to find that some fair brother or sister has raided the closet before us, or phaps to see our favorite necktie on some dear brother.
Perhaps we, ourselves, are guilty of these same thoughtless actions and, if such is the case, let's start with ourselves and exterminate this useless pest—the borrower.
Organization giving parties this fall are puzzled as to which makes the better party, the pretty decorated, dressed-up affair with every thing worked out to the minutest detail, or one where the money otherwise spent on decorations is used for confetti, favors and good "eats."
CONFETTI OR NO
Chaperones generally insist on the "pretty just-so" party. They say confetti is silly, and not only does it spit the looks of the hall, but you carry it home in your clothing to litter up your home; they claim the psychological effect of confetti upon the crowd is the same as that of "home brow." From the moment it appears on the scene, bedlam breaks loose, and the assembly changes in appearance from a group of dignified, college-bred young folks to that of a crowd of maniacs and "drunks."
They also say that the boys shout and whistle. The girls laugh hilariously and in talk a high screeny voice. The dancing which up to this time has been quite proper and according to rules, now becomes wild and riotous—, chasis reigns supreme. But consult any of the students as to which kind of a party they had rather attend, and they would answer without any hesitation, "The Peppy-Coffetti!"
And after all, it's the students the party is for and it seems ridiculous to make such a mountain out of a mole-hill.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Social monoply may be defined as a prominent citizen.
Saving for the future may be forgotten for the present (Christmas suggestion.)
"Is the 1:20 train on time?"
"To Kansas City?"
"No, brainless, to-day."
"Professor," asked the young lady visitor, "what is the strange color in this room? Is this the chemical lab?"
“Of course! How stupid of me! I always knew that Latin was a dead language!”
"No, my dear young lady. This is the Latin class room."
"I hear you have a clean mind." No.27
No:
"Yes, you change it so often! !!"
(To be executed with the accompanying flip of the feet characteristic of the slapstick comedy whizes.)
