Address all communication to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas Lawrence, Humphrey Phones, K. U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kanean ams, to please the Lord of the world. The University of Kansas, to go forward by standing for the ideals the gritte; to be clean, to be cheerful; to have more serious problems to have more serious problems; to serve the host of the reality the reality to serve the host of the reality the reality WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 192 THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN "Skating gets credits at Montana University" says a Kansan headline. Those Montana students should be glad that they have one course they can slide through. A HELPING HAND The committees of Lawrence people behind the University stadium-union project have begun an active educational campaign among the town-people, prior to the drive for soliciting actual subscriptions from them. Meetings are being held all over the city, and it is planned to awaken the interest of every citizen to the project, just as it was done among the students on the Hill. By such means of careful preparation, the local organization committees believe the drive for the money will be just as successful as it was at the University. Almost every student is in daily contact with one or more Lawrence citizens, to whom he can boost the project, and enlighten concerning it. With a little extra effort, we can help out considerably in putting the proposition over, and getting the local citizen in the frame of mind where he feels his privilege, as well as duty, to subscribe. By intensive cooperation with the people of Lawrence, the students of the University can do much to insure the city's drive going over the minimum, just as the University's did. "Board on Hill where quality rules, Women only,"^2-Advertisement in Daily Kansas. All of you male impets who don't like the discrimination can start to prattting equal rights or go stand on your heads. THE INAUGURAL Even though the Congress of the United States is busy with many problems, it finds busy to discuss pro and on the expenses of the elaborate inaugural planned for President-elect Harding. The issue arose when Senator Knox offered a bill appropriating $50,000 for the ceremonies. Senator Borah replied that this sum would only be a good start for the occasion and that the total expenditures to the tax payers of the nation would be more than $1,000,000 for the program of the inaugural plans as suggested. Senator Borah added that the President could be inaugurated just as effectively for fifty cents. The general opinion of the legislators was against - too elaborate a display for the occasion with the result that the "gorgeous ceremonies" will be curtailed to a large extent. President-elect Harding declared that he favored "domesticity in the celebration," inferring that the great features planned in his honor were not highly approved by him. Many of the citizens of Washing ton, however, are determined to go ahead with their plans, as the event will attract thousands of visitors and many, many thousands of dollars to the capital city. The forecast at the present of the situation shows that in all probability the compromise will allow a formal grand parade and inaugural ball, but will eliminate the other spectacles planned for the first post-bellum inaugural. Russia wants France to tell her why a French cruiser fired on one of her Black sea vessels. In studying the situation, we have decided that the cruiser fired on the Russian ship because the latter was in range. K. U. AND POETRY The efforts of K. U. poets are looked upon with scorn by some of the University's literary critics, who suggest that the authors would better employ their talents in Fowler Shops or the chemistry laboratory, K. U. poetry, is of course, just "milding," but should we be so critical? The average college student is perhaps too immature in his intellectual development to handle a subject as it should be handled in poetry. To be a true poet requires experience and judgment, with a dep insight, into human nature, which in many cases, time alone can provide. It is not surprising, then, that the K. U. literary output has not the depth of Emerson or the beauty of Alfred Much of the students' poetry contains frequent attempts at the use of strange words or the clothing of an idea in a peculiarly constructed sentence. These tendencies will not compensate the reader for the absence of thought or -systemized logic, any more than a drink of lukewarm water will satishte the appetite of a hungry man. But we encounter a great many things in life that are just "middling." A piece of apricot pie may have a soggy crust, yet we don't hear so very much complain about it. The plot of a moving picture show may be positively ludicrous, yet there are seldom many manifestations of criticism. Why, then, should we be so critical of the K. U. poet? The story is told of the western ball room with the sign above the orchestra: "Don't shoot the pianist—he's doing the best he can." NEVER AGAIN Students run true to human nature. Witness the library any time this week. Every chair is taken and there are nine and ten people around the desk constantly. Most of the suit is over term papers. Of course most of the students knew, some time ago, that this particular term paper was due the end of the semester, but very few took advantage of the fact. They consolled their relinquency by saying that they wanted to think it over before they started the actual work. Then they put it off to be written Christmas vacation. And finally, they returned to school after the holidays, and are trying to cram it in between all the other multifarious "last" things to be done. So they hunt for articles for references, for articles to copy, or merely for a suggestion to start on. Then, too, some heartless professors forgot or neglected to assign the paper or the outline until late and the poor overburdened student herrins to keep long hours in a futile begins to keep long hours in a futile effort to catch up. There is a hasty scramble to read up on the heretofore neglected references that have been accumulating all year. With dauntless courage the student in history and economics collects several thick volumes and endoavors to take notes on all of them in an afternoon. And, miracle of miracles, he manages to do it, although his notes, if carefully read, would probably be rather startling. There is one other thing the student is doing as he delves into a mass of outside reading. He vows to keep his work up next semester. Nothing will ever again induce him to leave it until the last week. Scott Hopkins was captain of a company of cadets formed at the University in 1878. WHERE IS THY STING? A reformer in Zion, Ill., has recently issued a “Handbook and Guide to Hell,” and says that every sinner will be punished by an overdose of his own sin. “A tobacco smoker will be locked up in a den full of tobacco smoke. A chew of the filthy weed will be immersed to his neck in a vat of tobacco juice.” So far, so good. But the entire theory is blown sky high by the next statement: “A drinker will pass his term of purification in a natatorium filled with beer, wine and whisky.” Line up men, and don’t push! On Other Hills A gift of 300 books to the Washington University library includes some which are rare and interesting. One of them is a copy of "Ovid" that Thackeyur used as a textbook, and in which he made sketches and comments. Hockey is the popular sport among the women students now at the University of Nebraska. One hundred of them have turned out for the first practice. For running expenses and for expansion during the next two years, the University of Wisconsin needs $15,000.00 of this amount, $250,000 or will be received from other sources than the state. The women of Stephens College, Columbia, Missouri, will eat bread prepared in their own bakery. A bakery has been installed there and is now ready for operation. It has a capacity of 800 loaves; and will be used for baking pies, cake and chickens, and for making toasts. The University of Minnesota now has the largest known collection of parasitic rust. This exhibit was presented to the institution by E. W. D. Wilson, recently returned from South America where he gathered the ancient articles. Recently the University of Cambridge, England, voted to refuse women full membership in the university on equal terms with men. The vote was 904 to 712, depriving the female enrollment of degrees. The cost of college buildings per student at Indiana University is $421, while the average for all colleges in the United States is $860, according to a late bulletin issued by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The average per student is reported to be at the Boston Institute of Technology, which is $3,728. Another fraternity at Ames, the T. L. B. (tall long boy), elected six sikah six footers as pledges from the national fraternity membership in the College of Engineering; the motion it might be stated that Lambda Tau Rho, honorary red head fraternity, recently pledged seven men at the University of Illinois. A crimson ribbon is the emblem of membership. Non-fraternity men at Cornell have organized into the "Cornell Independent den association." The purpose of this organization is to cooperate with fraternity men and with other organizations to promote the best interests of Cornell. Royal R. Ryan was a guest at the Phi Gamma House in Manhattan over the week-end preparing for the installation of a Chapter of the Phi Kappa The University of Missouri has an enrollment of 2,960 this term, which is 450 less than that of last term. The first University annual, the Hierophanten, was published in 1873, the Kikkea nurse in 1882; the Ceylon Museum in 1890; and the Hellanthus was published in 1889. Students at the University of Illinois wrote $2,254.80 worth of bad checks, drawn on he University State Bank, in one day. Four were forgeries. One for $323 was issued by a man to cover his losses at a crap game. When asked why he had written the worthless check, he said he won it with winners in the game if he did not pretend he could meet the loss. He made his cheek good. In 1878 the University Courier and the University Pastime appeared as rivals of the Kansas College. The Pastime was a private venture, devoted particularly to news and inclined to sensation and was published fortnightly. In 1879 he Collegiate changed its name to the Kansas Review, Mr. Hugh Goggin and Mr. Walter Schneider of the University of Oklahoma were week-end guests at the Pilkka house. Victoria Duncan, '24, spent Saturday and Sunday fistfishing at her home in Kansas City. Kenneth Constant, c'23, will spend Thuraday in Ottawa visiting relatives. They sat in the shadow of the porch, umnoticed by the passers by and hearing not the shouts of laughter from within. Gazing at the stars, then love seemed infinite. Suddenly she turned to him and with imploring eyes vouchoned the questions of the ages. COLORADO COLLEGE TIGER I threw a bottle in the air lit in whose hands I do not care It lit in whose hands I do not care-- The bottle was MT. "You do love me, don't you, Jerry?' Yes dear, you know I do." ALUMNI NOTES "Jerry, tell me, wond you die for e?" Ruth B. Rule, who received her A. B. in 1914, has gone to Russia to engage in Y. W. C. A. reconstruction work there. Miss Rule is the wife of the late Dr. Emanuel City, Mo. She taught physical education for four years at Harold College, Mexico, Mo., and in the last two years at the University of the Southwest. Miss Rule sailed on the Manchuria. The Acropolis Society was the first literary society founded at the University. It was established in 1886 and in 1870 the name was changed to Orophilian. Women were then excluded. The Kansas Collegiate appeared in 1875. It devoted itself to literary articles, editorials and news. Charles S. Gleed was editor.
