U. 25 and 46 The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kannan; to go further than merely printing the books by standing for the truth; to serve the community with virtue; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to others; to teach the best of its ability the students of the University. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1921 Why is it that some people can sell a collection of books for as much as a million dollars when we, at the end of a semester, can only get a few dollars for what we term the rarest collection to be found? O. YOU RED-HEAD! "Red head, red head, ginger-bread head!" has been flaunted at the Titan-haired youngster of the grade schools for generations. Since the advent of the first one, the red haired child has been pitied, and in turn scuffed at it. It has taken him many a struggle to surmount this personal obstacle, but at last he has done it, and is coming into his own. All the hard-coin resources of this enterprising organization are to go toward the construction of a college building on the new campus, said building to be of brick red in dramatic ambulism of the society which enabled it to see the light. Witness the latest at Goucher College, where a club has been organized to which "any man, woman, or child in the United States, or anywhere else, who can certify that he, she, or it has bona-fide red hair, is eligible to join." Titan Titans, this club dubs itself, as it charges the fair sex a one dollar membership fee, and gives the mere male aspirants a two-dollar gift for admission. In a recent statement issued by the club, they boldly set out to familiarize the stupid public with an astounding list of celebrities who had red-hair, and who ruled the universe in their way. Here we go: "It was Or, the king of the Pleistocene Red-heads, who drove the glacier back. It was Um, the Eocene artist, painted sand-stone a permanent red. It was Eric the Red who discovered America. Red is the first color in the flag. It's what you see when you get mad. It makes what the sun the best-known star. It's the only color that can stop the Twentieth-Century Limited!" Yea, verily, the red-heads are coming into their own! High officials say that the price of turkey is going so high that they will be forced to eat corned beef and cabbage for their Thanksgiving dinner. If that's the case, we wonder what poor college students, professors, and the like of us will munch on that day. EDUCATIONAL VACINATION A DREAM? Are college students immune to education? The criticism has been made of our higher "hotels" of learning that they do not educate, but serve as mere boarding houses for ambitions athletes, and pleasure resorts for pleasure-seekers. It has been unjustly said that American colleges and universities are frivolous institutions, and that a student may attend one for four years, and still be immune to education. There may be some truth in the criticism. Sports do play a large part in college life, but it is hardly true to say that a good way to get vaccinated against real education is to go to college. A few isolated statements may hear out this statement, but it is an exception to the general rule. No student can attend college without catching a few germs of that contagious disease—education. The well-balanced student must affiliate with the campus activities of his Alma Mater if he is to receive the full benefits of a college career. Sports and social life have their place in the curriculum. Scholastic conscientiousness is not the only ingredient necessary in the recipe for culture and a broad education. College experience gives its graduates a world vision guaranteeing a beaver perspective of life; it provides a periscope of things; it teaches them to look farther than the periphery of material wants; it spurs them to strive for the things that give mental and spiritual satisfaction in life. The greatest benefit derived from a college education is not that of filling the head with learning, as a juju is filled with water, but to create a longing for a deeper understanding of things. The college graduate finds that the more he knows, the less he knows. This discontent with the meagerness of his knowledge is what gives him the advantage in life over that of the average non-college man. No, it has not yet been justly proved that colleges and universities vaccine students against education. Rather they give to the young a contagious inspiration for perpetual education which lasts through a life-time. China says all she wants is to be let alone. And we can't blame China. Just think how we hate to be pounced upon by bill collectors, who have a perfect right to meddle with our affairs. No wonder we individuals are selfish, for just look at the nations: America doesn't want the ships built too big because they won't pass through the Panama Canal; Great Britain doesn't want submarines because they can be most destructive to her ports; and Japan would see aircraft condemned because she is far behind the other nations in the construction of aeroplanes. Student Opinion Editor, Daily Kansan: Why blame only the students for playing truant from convoitation Armistice Day? Members of the University Senate pleaded just as eloquently for the students to observe a lesson as negligent about observing it. A Faculty Member. Plain Tales from the Hill A Kansas cub buried out of the news room and burned up the sidewalk between there and the observatory. A thousand question marks cluttered his room. He was in a little and a little out of breath, he entered the observatory. CUBS AND QUESTION MARKS "Is Professor Alter in?" he inquired of the first person he met. "I'm Alter," answered a tall, kindly looking gentleman. The cub felt more at ease. "No," replied the Professor. "Well—what's that thing on top of Fraser that goes round and round?" I mean the furtherest one south—Hwibbles," explained the cub as he aquired and fidgeted "What's for? Does it measure the wind?" he cone- “That,” replied Professor Alter, “is a contrivance to keep birds out of the pan which is directly underneath it. It is used entirely by the department of zoology, as habitats, and further than that I know nothing of its use.” "What's that other thing on the north end of Fraser?" asked the cub. "That's an anemometer," replied the professor. "That's funny," said the cub. "I thought they both were running around and measuring a different kind of wind because it wobbled." "The velocity of the wind," the professor corrected, "I don't know much about astronomy" admitted the man. "It's too hard." He started towards the Kansas news room a shot, thinking of the many questions he forgot to ask. JAYHAWKS FLOWN You doubtless have noticed the absence of Oswald from the Aluminum column, as Ring Lardiner would say. He has been busy of late, studying hard for a quiz in his course in Victoria appreciation. A pledge to a fraternity at the University of Oregon must be doing passwork in work eleven hours before he can be initiated, according to a new ruling of the inter-fraternity council which has changed the minimum from eight to eleven hours to assist in raising the scholastic standards of the University. Clara Nigg, A.B.21, is employed in the Bacteriological laboratory of the Public Health Hospital in New York City. Mary Burnett, A.B.197, is Girl's Work Secretary at the Y. W. C. A. in Kansas City, Mo. Miss Burnett has charge of Y. W. work for high school girls in Kansas City. The annual song forth by the freshmen at Columbia University was held last week. The Spectator gives the neophiles a boost by saying that they were well prepared on the songs—also another boon."The unfortunate ones who were not sufficiently well versed on the songs were given a generous coat of shoe blacking." Mount Oread Slants at Other Hills About now we are beginning to see the grave mistake made in eliminating the course in Applied Padure.
