Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the act of March 3, 1819 Published in the afternoon five times a week by students in the department of Journalism of the University of Kansas, the目的 of the Department of Journalism Address all communication to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones, K. U. 23 and 66 The Daily Kansaan aims to pio- ne the students of the Univer- sity of Kansas, to go for- ward in the profession and standing for the ideals the masters aim to teach; to be clean, to be cheerful oratory; to be clean, to be cheerful out; to have more serious prob- lems; to serve the host of the ability to serve the host of the ability MONDAY, MARCH 14, 1921 WORK WELL DONE The legislature of the state of Kansas has achieved a great deed in its present session. It has re-commenced the building program for the state institutions at a time when the constant call was for "extremench," and the forces of the people were constantly calling for economy and a reduction in taxes. The University is the chief beneficiary. It received more than one million dollars of the four million increase over the last legislature's appropriations, and the figure, around three and one-half millions, for the biennium is a million dollars more than was set aside for the University's use two years ago. To the legislators, then, the University owes its heartiest thanks; and to the committee who took such pains to ascertain the true needs on Mount Oread, to the friends of the University in the State House and on the Board of Administration, who so firmly backed up the University requests, and to the Chancellor, to the University students who urged their representatives to boost the school's requests, and to every person connected with the University improvement program, (which includes everyone connected with the University), there should emanate a feeling of gratitude, and of communication of work well done. Such action shows true progress toward the front rank position in education that Kansas formerly held. It shows broad-mindedness, to a very large extent, in the minds of the legislators, who were being dined at by their constituents for "economy." Now the University can grow! THAT TRACK MEET Several times each school year they come occasions, more or less important, that occupy the center of the stage in the role of "crises"—opportunities for the people who make up the University to do great and good things. The big football games, the Stadium-Union drive among the students, the campaign to "put over" the dormitory and University appropriations bills in the legislature, all were chances of which K. U. took full advantage. Another such chance lies before the University this weekend in the annual indoor track meet between the Jahyawk and the Tiger, which is to be hold Friday night in Convention Hall, in Kansas City. The Kansas City Million Dollar Campaign committee is working actively among the alumni and friends of the University, and the track team has a great opportunity to bring the institution once more favorably before the eyes of the alumnj by making a good showing against the traditional enemy. The student body's enthusiastic support of their team will make a favorable an instating impression upon the many former University people who will attend the function, and will do much to make the Kansas institution first in the Missouri metropolis. The forces of the Jayhawker trail team have not been victorious against the Missouri legions for many years,—1913 it was when the Kansans scratched a bare victory over their opponents by a score of 43 to 42, and for the first time since, Kansans has a track队 with a good chance of victory. The thrill of a close track meet makes it a wonderfully entertaining spectacle, too. Close finishes, spectacular jumps and hurdles, and the endurance and fight of the distance runners make the event full of spectacular moments, and the intensity of the rivalry between the two schools adds to the realization afterward, of a "good fight," on both sides, no matter which side ran up the highest score. DUDLEY BUCK In Dudley Buck of New York, City the School of Fine Arts has secured one of the most prominent vocal teachers in the United States. Mr. Buck has studied under such famous teachers as Bouhy, Randegger, and Jean de Resko, and it is the knowledge he gained from such men as these, together with an innate ability of his own, that he will bring with him when he comes to the University next summer to conduct the Master School. It will indeed be a rare opportunity for those interested in voice culture to study under such a man, and many will take advantage of it. A GOOD BEGINNING Herbert Hoover has shown himself to be not only an efficient food ad- minimist, citizen. When he took the office of secretary of commerce, he dealt the death blow to office doctors as far as concern is concerned. Hoover stated his platform clearly when he said, "this is no political department; the job hunters will not find anything here." Secretary Hoover sounded a deep note of citizenship when he took a stand. Americans must be Americans and not politicians, if America is to hold her place among the nations of the world. Every political party and faction has and is guilty of the employment of the "spoila" system, and such a system is far from being extinguished at the present time. But Secretary Hoover has shown his colors when he expressed the desire to oust politics from government administration. Herbert Hoover will be a bigger man that he is or has been, if he proceeds and continues to carry out such a non-partisan and broadened attitude during his term as secretary of commerce. He shows himself capable of performing such a service, to his country, he will be an example for all politicians to follow, and will exhibit the bigger citizenship which our nation must strive for in the future.

One consolation is that mis-steps will be costly to the bandit who robs the trans-continental air-mail enroute. Russia is in the throes of a gigantic upheaval. Shocking! Dealing in billions has got to be a common thing in the United States, judging from war expenditures and government spending. Internal revenue on pill consumption. The Chicago packers have dropped thirty thousand employees from their pay rolls. Now, we suppose the vice reporter is still on the clock, the time lost in discharging the men. In order to get some two hours as signages, it is necessary, as well as convenient, to imagine that a twenty-four hour day contains two hours. Twin born recently were named Woodrow Wilson and Warren Harding. With such a combination, there is little chance to have peace in the family. It's picturesque, it's forceful, it even sounds well when you're young, but slang is a habit, and like all other habits, it grows on you. "All is peaceful in Duesseldorf!" Names are often deceiving. For a certain period in life, the use of slang undoubtedly enables one to express himself better, more easily and with more strength. You might rather bear a university or college youth say "he's a fine bird" than "I somehow don't care for you" as he grows years later, to hear that same youth, now grown, call his opponent for office, "a fine bird?" SLANG and WANT ADS Youth is the time for learning, and habits acquired then and knowledge not acquired then becomes more evident during the later years of life. If you have used the word "cute" to mean one hundred different things, applied it to persons, clothing, events and handicapes, you cannot hope to be able later to find difference in your world to cope with them from the other. Here lies the chief objection to using slang. To one accustomed to making use of coined words and expressions, speech without them is almost impossible and it most is stilted. If added forcefulness, picturesque- ness and clearness in youth overbalances the constant effort and study necessary in later life to break the habit and give you a dependable re- source. In the meantime, then in your own words, "go to it." Whover took my green gabernite from Spooner Library Thursday night please return. Liberal reward.
