Address all communication to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Phones. K. U. 35 and 66 The Daily Kansan assures, to plunge in the University of Kansas, to go furry by standing for the ideals the authors offer; to be clean; to be cheerful; to have more a serious problem to have more a serious problem to have more a serious problem to serve to the host of its ability to serve to the host of its ability to serve to the host of its ability THURSDAY, JANUARY 20, 1921 "SPOTS OF INFECTION" University social life was weighed in the scales last night. Before more than a hundred representative men of the University, Dr. Lindley analyzed the customs, the details, and the student life as a whole, and it was pronounced good. "The "bits of infection" that the Chancellor pointed out...some improper methods of dancing, some smoking in the entrances to buildings, are not great evils. The zea with which the assembly went into the questions brought up, however and the spirit in which they pledge the executive head of the University their support in anything he might do, to suppress these evils, shows the tendencies of the present University year to make Kansas a greater and better school. From the tone of the meeting, also, one thing is definite. Very little administration, in the strict sense of the word, will be needed to enforce any rules made by the Chancellor in this movement. Student opinion, responding like a flash to the conditions pointed out, will, and is "showing the way" to the students. The mere fact that the Chancellor and the representative men who listened to him last night, disapprove of the practices under discussion, will be enough for most people. No discordant notes were struck. No ways of enforcing the remedies of the problems under discussion were brought up. The students left it up to the Chancellor, confided, in his fairness, and ability to handle the situation. THOSE "K's" THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The University awarded twenty eight athletic letters to athletes who have performed best and most diligently through the fall semester. Twenty-two football men and six cross-country runners received this mark of recognition of their services. Those twenty-two football "K's make the largest number of such honors that the University has ever awarded members of a football squad. The team lost the Missouri and Oklahoma games. Nebraska was tied in a wonderful comeback after overwhelming the Jayhawk eleven. Every man on that list of twenty-two is just as deserving of a ktter as any man that ever received such honor. The wonderful spirit in which the men "came through" against the bigest oldaen, and fought themselves out for their school, is a new manifestation of the new K. U. that is carrying everything in the state in enthusiasm and favor. THE SERENADERS On Top of Mount Oread last night about midnight, some fraternity or other made the round of sorority houses, asembling them each with several songs. It probably disturbed many who were studying diligently But, Gee! It's fine to be so disturbed. No matter how jaded one's mind may be, the melody of a voice chorus on the night air is as good as the best mental tonic. Long, like the servenader! for quizzes. A DOLLAR A NOTE? It is very apparent, from the discussion of orchestra dance music prices carried on by the members of the Men's Student Council, and other students, that organizations, and managers of University dances, are paying prices out of reason to musicians for their services. Kansas City musicians, it is stated, have combined and agreed not to play Lawrence dances for less than $25 and expenses for each musician. An all-University party recently paid $250 for an orchestra headed by a student, according to a member of the auditing committee at a meeting of students last night. Varsity舞蹈 music bills run from $55 to $75 for every performance, according to Council members. These prices are too high. These are Mrs. Council's is now working on a maximum charge for musicians. University students who are working their way through school by playing for dances are helping in the decision as to the scale. Here, if ever, the Council is in one dot support. A wage scale lower than the present prices will cause some trouble. Organizations giving portions may even be compelled to take inferior music—possibly they may be compelled to call off a party. If the student organizations "back up" the Council properly, however, any conflict with the musicians will be short, and surely successful from the student standpoint. IN SELF PROTECTION Twenty-one University students have received the protection of inoculation against typhoid, and vaccination against. smallpox so far this semester. One student at present is sick at the University hospital with smallpox. In self-protection, every University man or woman should see to it that he is protected from these two contagious diseases. The deaths from these two diseases are considerable in number even in those days of sanitation. And all deaths from these diseases are preventable, physicians say. Why not, then, get yourself "shot in protection against the dire result of these common plagues? THE HOUSE OF DOORN A terrible and mysterious fate overhangs the House of Doorn, estate of Graf von Bentinck, at Amerongen, in Holland. For in the House of Doorn dwells Wilhelm Hozenholzell, once lord of many castles and of kindly titles. Here still lives, but sick unto death, his consort, Augusta Victoria, born of the blood royal. With the ex-Kaiserin's death an event of any moment, Wilhelm plots and plans with trusted conspirators for a return to his former realm. His dreams of Mitteleuropa have not yet been dispelled, but now assume chimeral and fantastic forms when combined with his newer visions of a return to the German throne. Not a mere return to power, but the acquisition of greater power than ever before. Trusted messengers pass by devious routes from the gates of the House of Doorn to the island of Wieringen, where lives exiled the king Frederick William, once heir to the departed glories of castles and titles possessed by Wilhelm, but now merely another coog in the vast machine of conspiracy his father is endeavoring to build. So Frederick Wilhelm plots and plans and sends messengers to the House of Doorn and to the land of Hungary and dreams of his promised place at the court of Mitteleuropas. And meanwhile his mother, the ex-Kaulinger Augustia Victoria, lies struggling for the last breath on her death-bed. November 11, 1918, was a day of transcendent joy for millions, but a grievous day of downfall for the dynasty of Hohenzollern. On that day Wilhelm left for the Netherlands, and the former crown prince for his isle in the North Sea. But the ex-Kaiserin, then very ill with the fatal malady which is to claim her soon, they left behind them in Berlin. They left her on a bed of pain to face the inflamed mobs of revolution and to meet the tribunals erected for those of royal blood. But the revolutionary, possessed of a galantry greater than that of her husband and her oldest son, gave their former empress a safe passage to Holland and the House of Doorn. The beast of the field remains by its distressed mate and soothes with brutish gentleness the last moments of life as best it may. But Wilhelm of Hoehmannoller, once too concerned with personal safety to remain with his queen, now carries on the business of his phantom state and continues his monarchist plottings while Augusta Victoria's strength ebbs and the world awaits news of her death any day. A terrible and mysterious fate overhangs the House of Doorn. What form the curse will take we may not know, but the insatiable ambition which stifles the natural devotion to 'family can never know success. HONOR: AN ASSET Abandonment in colleges of the "honor system," which seems to be threatened in one of the departments of the University of Pennsylvania, would be most regrettable. The system is one which, governing the processes of examinations and promotions in routine studies, makes directly for a sort of training and discipline that cannot be taught in any other way. By making it an own conscience rather than to the faculty it ought to be a certain aid to self-respect and clean thinking. In any large group of undergraduate there always will be a few ready to crub, ready to take advantage of the confidence of the teacher as a code. But the experience of most teachers sustains the belief in the honor of majorities, on which the "honor system" is founded. The method represents an advance in college methods. Public Evening Leading, Evening Public Evening Leading. THE TEACHER'S NEEDS Many remedies have been proposed for raising teaching from its present low estate. The result of the most obvious one, the raising of teachers, has not so far appealed is brought to the front, but compared to the rise in the cost of living and the advance in wages paid to industrial workers, any increases so far made, or likely to be made, are menege. It is said that what we lack in education is leadership of men, of originality and enthusiasm, capable of attracting the protections and ideals of this. This is no doubt true, but how are you going to interest such leaders in the first place? Very few men of any sort are now attracted to teaching; what inducement can you hold out to them for the future? It is proposed to give the rank and file a larger share in the shaping of educational policy and practice, would you like to participate involved in working out the plans which they had helped to form, and would put upon them part of the responsibility for success. The true remedy lies much deeper than anything which has yet been proposed. It lies in such genuine appreciation of the importance of the work it makes, the status of the highest plane of honor and dignity that it has ever held. The time is ripe for just such a revolution. It must be an orderly but a fundamental change—Lee Rus- Every county in Wisconsin except Taylor county, is represented by students at the University of Wisconsin this fall. Residents of the other counties have sent 4,998 sons and daughters to the university. On Other Hills The University of New Mexico has found a new name for its athletes. They are called "Lobos." This name was picked because a lobo is noted for his cunning, feared for his endurance, and dreaded for his endurance. question of bringing an honor system in examinations to Cornell was discussed. The decision which the body reached was that the movement should at least be started, whether or not it should be undertaken, and that coming examinations, and that it should be undertaken with the idea of carrying it through this term.
