Published in the afternoon five times a week by students in the Dept. of History of the University of Kansas, in the press of the Department of Journalism.
The Daily Kanaan ams to pice-
lize the college of the University of Kansas, to go fur-
ther study at Stanford, standing for their job,
saying for them that no one favors
them; to his heart, the college charges
to wiser, heads in all, to wiser, heads in all,
the students of the University.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1921
The charges that newspapers are purveyors of scandal may be true, but it takes a sewing society to get down to the bottom of things.
A FINE OPPORTUNITY
Some University organization has a fine opportunity to show its loyalty to K. U, and to be a leader among organizations, with little work. The action of the Men's Student Council expressing its desire to see the campus cleaned up presents this opportunity. All that remains is for the enterprise organization to make itself known.
The "dirty" campus is a secre with none. Every student on the Hill realizes that Mount Oread could and should have a "cleaning up," and a "get it done" campaign would certainly be appropriate. Moreover, students should not deny the cause for all the flying paper, paths across the lawn, and squadron of parked cars before the Administration building and other Hill buildings. It is the result of pure carelessness on the part of the students, and the students should take pride enough in their university to clean up such undesirable conditions.
Or, perhaps a better suggestion than that of the Student Council, would be an "All-University-Clean-Up-Day". Why couldn't the entire student body, faculty, and janitors take half a day off, and get out and clean up old Mount Oread? It can be done, and the Student Council would do still better to suggest such a plan to the University authorities. Let's make our's "A Campus Beautiful" by all of us pitching in, and getting rid of the rubbish that defaces the Hill.
The abolishing of immodest dances, such as the "toddle" and the "camel-walk," is a step forward. But check-to-cheek dancing—the touch of a velvet skin; the scent of June roses and perfumed flour—oh, Allah! Preserve it!.
OUR BROTHER'S KEEPER?
Twenty-five million Chinese women and children are starving to death. Between eight and ten thousand are succumbing daily, Many of them, in a last frantic effort to stave off the grim septec, are eating the dirt which they walk on.
The reason for this is that thousands of acres of land formerly bearing abundant crops of rice and grain are now one vast desert. For two seasons crops have failed completely.
Here in America we are "simmering in our own fat," as the Chanellor remarked recently of the people of Kansas. There is no want. The necessities of life are present in three-fold abundance, and luxuries are demanded and used more than ever before.
Are we our brother's keeper? Does charity begin at home and stay at home? Those are questions that every American now finds nursing him.
straight in the face. He can no longer evade them—they must be answered one way or the other.
Next Monday night a play will be given by Chinese students in Robinson gymnasium. The proceeds will go toward the relief of the starved, dirtating Chinese. What are you going to do about it?
Some of these students who look upon the regulations laid down by the university authorities as the biggest piece of foolishness that they have ever seen should glance in a mirror occasionally.
FEMININE FORENSICS
Suffrage has surely come. The latest evidence of it at the University is that the women of the school have entered the side-line of debating and will meet the fair dames from the Kansas Aggies in a short time. No doubt it will be a royal battle. But the Kansas women should be able to hold their own even against the girls from the farm.
The opening of the field of debate to the women of the University is decided a step forward. Every woman should take advantage of such an opportunity to become efficient in forensic effort. And university women as well as university men should have such training.
Moreover, the women's debating should increase the school interest in forensics as a whole. In the past, one of the main objections to school debates has been the fact that so few individuals have an opportunity to take part in the activity, and that it requires specialization. With the women of the school actively engaged in debate, all the University women should find greater interest in this valuable work.
We are strong for the women debaters. Let's put it over the Aggies in feminine forensics and take Missouri into camp too, if we have a chance.
A freshman student who witnesses the barn fire on 14th street the other night has spent several hours trying to decide whether the barn burned up or burned down.
WOMEN IN PROFESSIONS
A recent report shows a material increase in the number of women who choose professional training in preference to the more common courses open to women at the universities and colleges. The increase shows very plainly the increasing popularity of financial independence with the fair sex.
There are, of course, a great many women who attend college only to get prepared for the later duties connected with the managing of a household, the old idea of a woman's education. If this were not the case, the family would fast be losing its popularity. But the large majorities which this class of students has held over those learning a vocation, is fast decreasing. The numbers are so nearly equal that it seems safe to say that the professional women will soon be in the majority.
This means either that the number of women seeking a training to make them independent is fast increasing, or that the higher schools of learning are becoming less popular with the woman with Friend Dan hovering just in the distance, and that the woman with self-supporting ambitions is realizing the advantage of a college education in greatly increasing numbers. To a certain extent, both suppositions are true.
If the contributors to the Studentpinion Column do not desist fromigning themselves as constituents ofhe rainbow, the Kansas is very aptto be referred to as "colored" sheet.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Emma Goldman had her deportation, Debs suffered artificial isolation, Howat is in jail, yet the undesirable dance persists.
The Rockefeller endowment fund has also agreed to give the Municipal University of Cincinnati $700,000 or the University itself raises $400,000.
The old-fashioned waltz may come into its modest own again, as every other dance is barred.
Campus Opinions
This familiar axiom of high school physics is familiar to almost everyone, but many of us are failing to heed its application to present day affairs. Just the same, it's one of the little precepts of old Mother Nature, whereby the world is enabled to continue its orbit on scheduled time.
Elliott, Danny Kahn.
"For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction."
Editor. Daily Kansan:
This so-called "reform wave" of the present time, of which so many are commending with such loud praises, and of which so many are quietly saying, is it an act or a reaction, and how far hard does it date?
There were some things at fault in University life before the war. Then things tightened up, due, perhaps, to the preoccupation of the great struggle. In the last two years, there has been a "wave" of "letting loose," retrogression, maybe even degeneracy, that is causing the "reaction" from the war tension. This "loosening up" if existant, we may take it included the University, to
some extent at least. Now, some prominent, able, and more or less hard-minded people step forth with several sets of rules whereby the alleged evils of student life on the campus would be corrected.
That brings us up to the present,
doesn't it?
Now then, what will the great mass,
of the student body, who are not
entirely aware of the evils of their mis-
dictions, who unconsciously move as
they react to the proposed improvements?
I must leave this unanswered, dear editor,
for I am
"Puzzled."
Editor, Daily Kansan:
To divert the vigilant eye of public opinion from the cataclysmic, engulfing wave of reformers that is threatening to inundate the University, as was so poignantly pointed out by "Pinkish Red," and from the wild atavistic radicals who do not wish to have their "liberties," such as kg parties and "mutual breathing" dancing, taken away from them, as pointed out by contenders for a new yell, demonstrating wherein the University fails to fill all my requirements for a perfect Utonia.
First, let me declare myself for disarmament, universal and even to include Kansas City crooks. So much am I in favor of this policy that I advocate the disarmament of the University,—to this extent, at least, that the University will be front of the Administration; building be thrown into the Kaw River.
To the lay mind, those disclosed monasteries have no intrinsic, esthetic, or intrinsic value to the University. I have it on good information that I have been a teacher at the Institute of Columbia, and hence, they are useless to athletic spirit.
The mottled behemoth before West Ad looks like a knock-neck bulldog baying at the moon, and the grey, spaddled attrocity a little further east resembles a tarantula about less mature mind of the undergraduate will not be influenced to ideals of militarism by the more sight of these engines of destruction. But may not the esthetic ideals of observers be tortured by this realization as they do not one single cationnation of the freedom of belief, the abstract and philosophical view of life credited to students of the University?
Hoping you will pardon this little powder puff, then, I am

It is the head of a Grecian woman, complete in every detail; the *Sheebal*, nose, mouth, chin and neck are pronounced by experts to be perfect features of that type. The hair is arranged symmetrically, straight from the forehead and is very abundant. There are several other very interesting formations to be found in the same room, among them the head of a rams cloud effects and one very realistic mountain scene.
