The Daily Kansas ams to picture the University of Kansas, to go foray up on standing for the ideals the school sets for it; to be clean; to be cheerful; to have move some problems out to the heat of its ability to succeed.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, 1921
Round table discussions as constructive as King Arthur's were destructive, are being held at the Merchant's Short Course in Fraser Chapel.
STUDENT COURTESY
Students at the University have an unusual chance during the present Merchants Short Course to show their courtesy and politeness to the visitors on the Hill. While passing along the stairs, or between classes, while sunsining in the halls, or in answering inquiries of the visiting merchants, students can leave a favorable impression in the minds of those who are here for a short time.
But some students seem to have left their good inmates at home yesterday, in passing through Fraser Chapel while addresses were being given, and the merchants were listening to those. Such actions are especially disturbing to all who are concerned with the proceedings in the hall, and show deeded discourtesy on the part of intruding students. This is but one of the instances in which students can show their thoughtfulness for those who are visitors at the University.
K. U. students are forming lasting impressions these days in the minds of many who are at the University for the first time, and considering such, every individual should take utmost means to make such impressions favorable. This is the University's chance to gain a host of new friends, and it is up to the students to effect such results.
You can learn a good lesson, in business experience without having to pay for it by attending the Merchant's Short Course.
"EARN AND LEARN"
The United States Army offers a man a chance to "Earn and Learn." The University of Kansas is going to offer the same opportunity to those men who are prone to take advantage of their chances.
The opportunity offered to K. U. students is the work on the new stadium. For every individual who is having a hard time to make both ends meet during the present financial stringency, the news that every student who desired would have a chance to work on the new structure and thus relieve his financial situation, brought a sigh of relief. The plan of Coach F. C. Allen in giving all such men employment as a means of keeping many in school was a decided boost for the University. For there are numbers of men in the University today, who are not afraid to work, but who have had no opportunity to show their willingness in an effort to remain in school.
Practically every institution in the country lost numbers with the second semester enrollment. Kansas lost
students, too. But it is clearly evident that others would have dropped out, had the news not come of the opportunity for work on the stadium Kansas is not alone in using such means to keep students in school. The Kansas State Normal, a sister institution to the University, has recently found employment for a number of men students in financial distress or the school janitor force. Other institutions have used various other means of providing employment. And Kansas was wise in giving her students such an opportunity to utilize their time. The rest of the story I left to the response of the students is answering such a call.
Those who work will be building their own stadium. Each one will be building up his own health, but above all, the wages received will help to eliminate the causes for much financial worry among University students.
A Short Course, but with some mighty good sprinters, is the situation in Fraser Chapel this week.
SCHOOL BUDGETS
Kansas University is not alone in asking the State Legislature for a large appropriation. The proposed budget of Missouri University calls for $4,048,018, while that of Kansas is $4,879,018. In comparison with other University budgets, those of Kansas and Missouri are comparatively small. Iowa is asking for $5,986,294, while Iowa Agriculture College is asking for $5,222,000. Minnesota is asking for $9,769,000, Illinois is asking for $10,560,000.
Among other things, the University of Missouri is asking for appropriations for a new heat and power plant, extension of the medical building, rebuilding of the mechanical arts building, a new chemistry building, university hospital, agricultural building, and women's building, including a women's gymnasium and scientific laboratories.
It is evident that practically every educational institution in the country is making a deepate effort to hold it is own in the new educational
growth.
A fashion note informs us that spring suits for ladies are going to be trimmed. Yes, and there will be a lot of married men suffer the same way.
THE CREDIT RULING
The action of the faculty in opening other schools to students of the college was altogether acceptable to the members of that school. They had been hoping for just such a chance, as few students come to the University who do not see certain subjects in the other schools which will add in training them for the vocation or particular position for which they are fitting themselves.
Until the present time, work taken in only one other school would be counted in their total for graduation. Now the fifteen hours credit toward graduation may be taken in any of the schools or distributed among any of them.
This action has taken away the cause for one of the principal valid excuses of many of those who do not continue their education, saying that they cannot get what they want. It is a point in the present tendency that the student does not come here primarily for the purpose of carrying off the degree but that he may have the advantage of getting ideas and knowledge from more developed minds in whatever subject it may be or his advanced subject to take.

PREPARATION PAYS
It is gratifying for University students who have spent four years or more learning the technique of a lifework to get out into the busy world and find that the principles and methods they have been taught at school are absolutely practical and invaluable in every day business. Still more gratifying, and even
more valuable, to the student, is it to find out still while in college. The testimony of a man successful in his chosen life, working up those

Great Spirit, when I sow awe$^1$

And sing because my earth's life done,

To throw me on the bed; to

Where comets roar with maddened hair
While stars rise and paler and stare
In the distance; the sleep

That was just what students got who attended Monday night's session of the Murchant's Short Course, and heard F. P. Mann, progressive and successful big-store man of Devils Lake, N. D., talk on "Building a 600,000-Business in a Small Town Through Modern Advertising Methods." Mr. Mann attentively his success solely to the sensible and consistent application of those very principles of advertising and economies which are emphasized continually in the departments of journalism and economics on the Hill.

Such inspiring addresses as Mr. Mann's give students renewed faith in the efficiency of their going to college and learning scientific methods of management in their chosen phase of work. "Don't be afraid to buy knowledge," saidMr. Mann, "it

FRAUDS
Humanity, including university students, sometimes seems to have been made to be healed. When one considers the utter simplicity of some of the "con" games the fakers use to lure the unsuspecting victim, it looks as if they would have no chance of deceiving anyone, but they do deceive people, regularly and profitably. The fraud is generally designed to appeal to the victim's vanity and pride.
There are frauds and frauds, but one of the simplest is based on "the act that everyone aspires to write or publication, or at least, likes to see his name in print. These unsatisfied aspirants most readily fall into the "liiterary agent" with is reading fee or the song poem winder.
The United States Postal Department and other disinterested interests have done much to suppress such frauds, but , until human nature radically changes, other swirling games are sure to be originated and patronized.
For years magazines and trustworthy song houses have endeavored, through publicity, to prevent people from being defrauded by what is known as the "song poem swindle." This is but one of the many current examples today.
