The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go further than merely print the news by standardly holding it; play no favorites; to be clean; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to when they arise or its ability the students of the University.
MONDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1921
A newspaper headline says that oriental eggs are being shipped to this country from China. Probably some that the famine stricken country couldn't use.
"K. U. WEARS PATCHES"
"Kansas does not know the truth about the state university." With such an opening, it is evident that the students and faculty members of the University are not the only ones who believe that K. U. is desperately need of funds. The above statement is the opening sentence of an article in the Sunday Star, written by a Star correspondent, which displays the fact that "K. U. Wears Patches."
The "patches," as the Star calls them, are the immediate needs of the university in buildings and equipment. The facts are clearly presented by the article. "To begin with," states the article, "there are twelve hundred young women from the homes of Kansas now attending the school. For the accommodation of these twelve hundred young women, there is in all the institution, only one small rest room, 24x28 feet in dimensions, which will accommodate, perhaps, eighteen young women at a time.
"Let it be known," continues the article, "that with the exception of one small wing of the administration building at K. U., there has not been a new building erected since 1909, twelve years ago. Within the twelve years the attendance at the University has doubled, and not a brick laid or a step taken to meet the growing needs, with one single exception, the small wing of the administration building."
Such facts are well known to University students and faculty. But such statements from an unbiased outsider, who has investigated conditions makes the facts the more the truth.
It brings home the conclusion that others have realized the needs of the University, as an institution of higher learning, and that the "people of Kansas should know" as well as the State Legislature, what broad minded individuals on the outside are thinking of the state's largest educational institution. With such facts at hand, the Legislature should have less trouble in deciding how much funds the educational institutions of the state should have in the coming years.
A freshman student, that of an ex- brewer, tell us that if there are any illicit stills in this town, they are keeping very quiet.
THE EDDY MEETINGS
age to give when he spoke on campus problems.
Doctor Eddy brought to the students of the University a challenge which all thinking students and people can well afford to consider and meet. His addresses Sunday morning and Sunday afternoon expressed an appeal to the rational faith of every man and woman who heard him.
There could not have been a student who attended the Eddy meetings the past three days who did not feel that the religious leader had a message to give, and a knowledge of world-wide affairs. And students could not but feel also, that Mr. Eddy had a umbilical connection.
One of the best noticeable facts about the campaign was that the students of the University responded to the call to hear an experienced man or problems of vital importance to every man and women. The Friday morning meeting was a one hundred per cent beginning and the crowds at all of the other meetings expressed the same conclusion that the entire campaign was a big success. And the success of such a movement well for the University and for the students of Kansas. All who attended the meetings cannot help but feel greatly repaid and fortunate to have heard such a world leader.
After we have done away with immodest dances, we should wage war on the male bipod who allows his hair to grow down and tickle the lobes of his ears.
WHAT THE FACULTY SAY
"Should seniors be exempted from the final examinations?" This is the question that was asked a number of faculty members last week and the answers were printed in Thursday's Kansas. The results varied as everyone knew they would. And there are various opinions in the mind of the average student upon reading such answers, that deserve mention. In the first place, some of those who answered the question dodged the issue. One made the distinction between the exemption at the end of the first semester and the second. Another said it depended on the kind of examination.
The arguments of those who took a definite stand against senior ex-commentation were of varied weight. There
seems to be little cause for some of the arguments advanced. One professor said, "I must have some means of grading them (seniors); therefore, I believe in final quizzes." Here, one is tempted to ask, "What has the instructor been doing during the entire semester?" Certainly, if a student has worked hard enough to command an A or B standing, the instructor knows what the student has been accomplishing.
Another feels that the seniors ought to take the finals, because, "I was a student myself once and took
graduate student myself once and took examinations." There seems to be very little ground for opposing the exemption in this argument. Further, the professor comments, "seniors will slack their work if they know there won't be any reckoning at the end of the term." Most students and instructors of the students are satisfied with a B standing, which is the lowest grade that would permit of exemption, and when such a standard is reached, it can hardly be called "slacking." All the students cannot be or hope to be A students, or even B students, so the slackers must be classified among the C's and D's.
Another professor does not believe in cramming. That is perhaps the biggest argument which can be advanced for the exemption of seniors.
The student who studies hard enough during the semester to get an A or B certainly gets more out of a course than one who "silden" along, and then crams all night before the examination. And this continued study during the term would no doubt be the tendency if seniors are exempted from finals, when they attain a high standing. Such a custom could not be expected in the general tone and
hip and elevate the general tone and tendency of scholarship, and this end is what all student and instructors should strive for.
In closing, we are not opposing any faculty member because of his or her views on the matter of senior exponent on the faculty members.
A junior student says that, hearing Eddy's lectures, he has taken nearly all the pictures off of the walls of his room.
THE "DIVORCE"
The "divebore" has been granted. Governor Henry J. Allen won another victory over his opponents in the Kansas Legislature last Thursday when the senate passed the bill to separate the industrial court and the public utilities commission.
Whether for good or bad, in the long run, the final action of the senate in which the Allen forces carried the long end of a 30 to 7 vote, seems to indicate that the "divorce" measure was advisable. The main object hoped for is that the new law will make the Industrial Court more workable and successful than it has been, and that it may be able to accomplish all that it is slated to do.
If the result of the action of the Legislature is toward a successful solution of the industrial situation, Kansas and other states will gladly welcome the movement, and the forces of labor and capital alike will gladly receive the new step.
THE BUSINESS WORLD AND BETTER ENGLISH
Through advertisement, our own virtues may often become faults.
Many a man has lost an opportunity to secure a position because his collar was dirty, or his shoes were unshined, and many a woman has lost her chances because her dress was untidy or her hair noticeably fussy. Sometimes a man's manners have left him seeking a position. Likewise, the way a person talks, the effectiveness of his speech, is a deciding factor in the success of any one who goes into the business world. The ability to speak good English is no little asset for the young man or woman who goes out from college, and attempts to a position. And effectiveness
of speech requires first of all, vocabulary and the ability to use correctly.
Do the students of the colleges and universities realize the importance of this ability, which is within the grasp of each individual? If they do, college students are to be congratulated. But evidence shows that the tendency is toward a sliphead and careless use of the language. The realization of this fact was the cause for much activity during the recent nation-wide Better Spanish Campaign, which was carried out in many of the educational institutions of the country. It does not require a master of English to discover numerous mistakes in usage among those who are supposed to be liberally educated. In order to eliminate these common mistakes the Better English "campaign was instituted."
The realization that the ability to speak good English is a vital part of each individual's education is a starting point. This ideal realized, it can be acquired with little extra effort, through every-day conversation. Its returns cannot be realized in a day or a year, but are alife-time endowment, notting unseen and unconscious results that play an incalculable part in an individual's success in society. As the president of a great concern admiries and enjoys talking with one who can speak fluently, correctly and forcefully, as does the restricted farmer find pleasure with the man who can make himself understood.
English is not a dead language, as one might conclude on hearing every-day conversation, even among college students. Rather it is a language that can bear decided and increased effort on the part of its users. The university student might well begin at home, in the Americanization of Americans, by attaining the ability to use his language correctly.
Professor's wife, entering nursery and surprised to see her children so quiet and looking so unhappy asked, "Why not play a game of chess?" "No," she replied. "They said, "We are playing we are taking one of father's chemistry quizzes."
Early Chestnut, the only "early chestnut" in school, who was treated in this column recently was so overwrought with his send-off, that he came to breakfast Thursday morning without any collar or tie.

The latest campus practice at the University of California is "tapping." Any girl appearing on the campus with too short a skirt, too much rouge, or too many "vampish" features is tapped on the shoulder by a member of the new committee, and warned that reform is the best policy.

Trustees of Ohio State University have adopted a twelve-month school year plan. The school year will be divided into four quarters, and the ordinary four year course can be completed in three years of continual attendance. Students can enter the university at the beginning of any quarter, which are separated from each other by a week's vacation.

CIVIL WEDDINGS IN FRANCE
A France marriage is a thorough going affair. It is a real partnership.
To begin with, the ceremony unify a civil one. **OComparatively** few wedding take place in a church. There are good ways as to mutual tolerate it better or worse. But the French husband and wife marry to take each other's burdens, and they carry them together until the end of the journey.
This can be traced to several cases. One is that young people are linked together in France with the view to their sympathetic treatment of their sympathies. A girl who is an artist does not marry a bootmaker. And a shopkeeper rarely thinks of joining his fortunes to any but a shopkeeper's daughter or a business
The classes do not intermingle in marriage, not because of snobbi-
ness, but because it is not practical.
