The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate university as one to go forwards, merely printing the news and standing in front of the university to pay no favors to be clean, to be cheerful to be charismatic, to have more serious problems to wiser new students, its ability the students of the University.
FRIDAY, JANUARY 7, 1921
The height of impropriety was at
tained by a University professor the
other day when he asked a student
of the fair sex if she remembered the
flood of 1903.
THE GAME TONIGHT
Tonight begins the basketball season . The inauguration of the hoop pastime will take place when the Drake Bulldogs meet the Kansas quintet at Robinson Gymnasium.
quarter as they are.
The "Thundering Thousand" welcome the indoor sport, and are more than prepared for a continuous support of the team that will represent the University in the eleventh Valley contests. Lose or win, defeat or victory, the Jayhawker rootets will cheer for its five fighting men who are playing for their school and their state. If the Kansans are behind twenty points, they will whoop just as loudly as if only one point separates the two teams.
The University of Kansas has real, vital, throbbing school spirit.
Are these statements true? . . .
Well-
BLUE SUNDAYS
The proper light in which to regard the present agitation for and against the movement of the Lord's Day Alliance, to "make more holy the Sabbath," is somewhat of a dilemma.
The newspaper boys have to have something to write about. Times are hard, and they must need lives the sad news of the decline in wheat with some of the spicer news. From which, it may be conjectured, some of the "blue Sunday" stories have emanated.
Behind the movement, however, is an earnest effort to remove from the Day of Rest the commercial aspect for which the Lord's Day Alliance is willing to sacrifice the motion picture shows, the baseball games, and other amusements, which they contend, employs men when they should be devoting the day to rest and worship.
Kansas stands back from these reform efforts. They are not interesting to her. For many years, by legislative enactment, amusements on Sunday have been rigidly closed,Pool halls, theaters, and all entertainments for which admission is charged, are banned.
Seeming success has met the effort of Kansas at reforming herself. Things have rolled around in the usual way, and we have enjoyed ourselves probably more wholesomely than any of the state on whom the reformers finally absolved in the bath of prohibition, and now seek to cleanse from the commercialism of the Sabath-day worker.
TEMPUS FUGITS AGAIN So said the ancient Latins, and
so say the modern learned ones,— the professors.
The student body as a whole is of the same opinion, and furthermore, with all the effulgence of youth, it says, "don't stop it." This little phrase—"don't stop it" carries with it the implication that the sooner it's over the better off all concerned will be.
By a careful analysis of the above, it can be deduced that the time draws near when all good students and true must perform some menial task for the faculty. Philosophers and teachers, especially University of Kansas philosophers will tell you that the only time to do anything is now.
But two weeks remain of the fast waning semester. Most of that time will be spent by the average student doing those things now, yet, but doing those things now that should have been done in November and December. And, don't try to blame the poor downrodden professor when he says that you are fast slipping down that road that leads to "F" Avenue and Twenty-third Street. It's not his fault. He assigned that term report at least six weeks ago.
THE NAVAL QUESTION
Of high importance among the many vital issues Congress must decide upon in its present session, are the bills which will determine our naval program for the next five years. Action one way or the other on those bills will be of more than national consequence. Are the American people awake to their importance?
to date the United States, Great Britain, and Japan have the largest navies in the world. If Congress passes some of the naval bills now before it, this country will have a navy unsurpassed by any other power. But it is a significant fact that as fast as we add more ships to our navy, Japan adds more to hers. Japans policy of expansion calls for a bigger navy, and larger standing army every year.
An extraordinary article on this subject, written by F.' A. MacKenzie, noted British writer and authority on far Eastern affairs, appeared in a metropolitan paper last week. MacKenzie pointed out that America has consistently pointed out Japan's expansion policy in Asia, and asserts that Japan is not far from being on decidedly unfriendly terms with this country as a result of that intervention, and also because of Japanese immigration trouble in California. Unless, according to the British writer, the Liberal anti-expansion element in Japan gains control of the government, affairs will draw to a climax soon between that country and the United States.
In the light of these and our conditions, Senator Borah has submitted a resolution to Congress which provides that the United States, Great Britain, and Japan enter into an agreement binding themselves to drop all further naval construction for a period of five years. Such an agreement, it is understood, would be welcomed by both England and Japan.
It is plain, therefore, that the naval hills before Congress now have a serious import which all Americans should be cognizant of. They will be decided as public opinion rules. Meanwhile, they demand our thoughtful consideration.
VINDICATION
American citizens, who opposed the League of Nations on the grounds that it could raise an international army and send it where it pleased without the consent of each individual, seemingly have been justified in their assertions by the action of the League at Geneva in sending an armed force to occupy Vilna and to control the plebiscite until the assembly at Geneva decides whether it be to turn over to Poland or Lithuania.
This army is composed of contingents from Great Britain, France, Belgium, and Spain. If the United States were a member of the League, it is safe to say that she would be called on to furnish part of this force. Would the President act at once, or would he consult with his Congress?
VERSE BY HARRY KEMP
By Permission of Brentano's, New York
"I have a young son," said the Captain to me.
**SAID THE CAPTAIN TO ME**
"Nothing but damn fools sail the Sea"
"Said the Captain to me."
"I have a young one." said the Capital
to me.
"I'm damned if he shall ever sail the sea!"
On the other hand, those who maintain that the League would be a deciding factor in preventing war are also vindicated to a large degree. What recalcitrant nation would pursue her headstrong course alone when she knew that such action would surround her with troops from every member of the League? Thus the warm supporters of the League assure themselves that international unity is the one permanent meant of preventing great wars in the future, even though it may entail some sacrifice on the part of each individual member of the League.
The work of the League thus far in its history has had little effect one way or the other in America. The action of the Geneva conference with regard to Vilna has strengthened its American supporters in their beliefs and has also confirmed the objectives to the League. Future actions of the League of Nations will be viewed with interest by American citizens and will play a large part in determining what stand the United States will finally and permanently take with reference to it.
STRENGTH IN UNITY
The Women's Student Government Association was organized in April, 1909, and has had eleven years of successful experience.
When the need for student government was felt, a committee of faculty women interested in the movement was appointed to bring about the organization. Because such an organization would mean a very drastic change in campus affairs, this committee felt that every woman in the school should have the privilege of expressing her views on the subject and what her attitude would be toward such an organization if it were established.
Therefore, these five faculty women hold a personal interview on the subject with every woman then enrolled. It was a tremendous task, but when finally accomplished, gave very pleasurable results. The concern of opinion was very favorable toward student self government.
The faculty committee then started to perfect the organization by classes. They called a meeting of the senior women at which they organized. The movement was then turned into student hands and the senior women went about organizing the under classes. In April, 1909, the class organizations were correlated into the Women's Student Government Association.
The purpose of the organization as stated in the constitution is "to foster among the women a feeling of mutual responsibility and a high regard for both liberty and order, to maintain high standards of living and scholarship and to promote loyalty to the University."
An instance of what can be done properly to house the hundreds of young women who come to New York and work carried on by the Permanent Club.
HOUSING WOMEN STUDENTS
In May, 1919, a committee of women interested in the problem of suitable student housing bought an apartment house on the upper west side. The following fall, after necessary alterations had been made, the building was opened as a club for young women students who were strangers in New York. It was filled immediately by those fortunate enough to have got on the waiting list started at the time the house was purchased. In December, a second furniture house was constructed. This was ready for occupancy in October of the following year. This, too, was filled immediately.
Today there are 240 young women living in the two buildings. The general administration of each building is in the hands of two directors. Close attention is given to the social and physical welfare of the students. The curriculum is designed with experience. Necessary regulations for the social life of the household are in the hands of a student committee chosen by the club residents.
The interesting feature about this movement is the fact that it was organized entirely on an investment basis. There is no endowment of any sort connected with it. It pays as a business proposition.
Room accomodations with board range from $10 to $18 the week. This includes three meals a day. In view of the fact that the club is designed especially to meet the needs of students, the directors of the movement have provided practice rooms and pianos for those students specializing in music. A fee of ten cents is charged for each hour, divided into hours being use as student. In order not to interfere with the efforts of the literary students, these practice rooms are located in remote sections of the houses.
According to its directors, it is but the first of a series of houses which will take care not only of student groups of professional women and girls.
The houses now occupied are 605 and 612 West 115th Street. They are within walking distance of the Institute or Musical Art, Columbia University, Barnard College and Teachers College—N, Y, Times.
Massachusetts Institute of Tech nology plans to turn its old aviator hanger into an indoor hoochie rink.
In the annual tug of war before the Williams-Wesleyan game, the Williams freshmen dragged the sophomores twice through the ice waters of the "Green River" to the intense appreciation of the house party girls and upperclassmen. The freshman president, according to custom, waded the stream with the rope, bringing it to the sophomores before the pull starta.
Syracuse University has adopted now "cut" regulations whereby any unnecessary absence from class will be waived. Syracuse also gives per cent from the student's final grade.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology requires more than 1,000 tons of coal during the winter months and there is but 4,000 tons on hand. Nowadays, the plant preparation necessary is necessary to secure a ton of crude carbon in Buffalo.
Women proved o be better students than men at the University of Wisconsin during the last year, according to scholastic standings tabulated by the dean of men. Non-sorority women had higher grades than sorority women, and non-fraternity men higher averages than fraternity men.
McGill University, Canada, recently held its first game of hockey this season. Hockey is the popular and zestful athletic treat of McGill.

The following is an extract from the Louisiana State University date regulations:
"University women shall not have more than four evening engagements each week. Spending a longer period than one-half an hour in a man's company after 7 p. m. constitutes an engagement."
Trinity College, besides insinuating a fourteen-day no-pledge period, has a rule which reads: "The chairman of the rushing committee of each freshman is responsible for setting that every freshman is introduced at every other house."
Archery, canoeing and swimming for girls has been discontinued by the University of Texas until the spring term. Recently the Texas Turtle Club带tryouts for membership in which between them a total of another try-out will be held this month to complete the membership of the Club.
The tennis squad of the University of Texas is now in training. Preparations are being made for the inter-college tournament to be held in the spring.
