The Daily Kaanen aims to picture the undergraduate in a more accessible way to go for more than merely printing the news by standing up. The class will play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful, to be kind; to be patient; to leave more serious problems to wiener heads; in all to teach students about the students of the University.

ATHLETIC EMPLOYMENT
AGENCY
Napoleon once said: "The victory is always on the side of the heaviest cannon." Those who witnessed the football game Thanksgiving day on Rolls Field should be convinced of that fact. The Tiger team was invincible with its beef, brown, and speed.
It is almost universally true that those who have been well favored by fortune and raised in the lap of luxury do not make fighting gridiron warriors, but that those who have had to battle to get through school at all have the fight that is necessary to the game. By the time these fellows have finished high school, they do not care to attempt any more schooling without the promise of work, knowing well the inconveniences and embarrassments that arise over peculiar matters. The attitude of the lounge bizzars and tea-towels that infest the campus is also galling to their democratic outlook on life.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Kansas produces just as good men, but they seemingly do not reach the University. The fault is due to one of two reasons. Either the men do not receive inducements to come to the University of Kansas, or their financial status will not permit. Many of the best prospective football men are affected by the latter.
Many star high school players have signified a willingness to come to the University if promised work during their stay, but have been drawn to other smaller schools by a definite promise of employment. The Athletic Association could do much to get material for a championship team at K. U. by establishing an employment bureau or by coordinating and cooperating with the University Y. M. C. A. employment agency.
The best team always wins. The best team is composed of the best men. The best men seem to come from hard working families. They need employment if they are to attend the University. They should have it, as we need them. The Stadium spirit calls for and needs championship teams for its success.
WHAT ABOUT THE OTHER FELLOW?
This is a college community and supposedly contains some of the most genious minds of the country.
The situation offers a wonderful opportunity for some one to discharge excess ingenuity; and that is the matter of social entertainment for students.
Every Saturday night a Varialy dance accommodates 300 people, two picture shows entertain perhaps 1000
more, a few church socials and small group dances, take care of not more than 400. What do the other 2,000 do? Friday night it's the same proposition.
Occasionally there is a dramatica production or a concert. Once a week about half the first semester athletic events are scheduled.
There's nothing wrong with any of these. They are all very commendable and serving their purpose. The only trouble is they do not accommodate enough. The student who does not dance grows tired of the picture show, and is not interested in church parties all the time, is left out in the cold so far as social life is concerned.
CAN
This is a golden opportunity for someone to come forward with a new form of entertainment that will relieve the situation. Something that is inexpensive and accessible to everyone.
INTRODUCING THE TRASH CAN
City officials, health officers, and army experts have long known the menace to health that arises from damping trash around public institutions or in places where crowds must congregate. They also have provided against the spread of disease from rubbish, cigar and cigarette butts, and partly-eaten bits of food left where they might be trodden upon and carried into buildings and homes by the feet of passersby and by the wind.
Indeed, nearly every up-to-date University in the United States has acted as have other public institutions and provided means of protecting its student body from the danger of the spread of epidemics and infectious diseases by placing on its campus, water and windproof trash cans of different sorts. The University of Michigan has provided a system which practically eliminates all signs of waste from their two thousand and acre campus. The oldest Universities have had refuse receivers in their buildings and on their grounds for years. The University of California is reputed to be one of the best kept in the United States—it has a perfect system of trash and rubbish handling.
At the present time there is no pro
prevision on the Hill for taking care of
this necessary detail. Very few trash
 receptacles can be found, and those
few are not available to the mass of
students. The student smokes his
cigar or cigarette or crumples his
gum or quiz paper, loops about him
for some place to deposit it, and sees
no place except the walk or grass.
The result is that our campus never

The University of Kansas should protect the health of its students by more means than a medical fee and a hospital. The best step toward this end is the constructing of some sort of rubbish disposal system. Other universities have made a success of it. So can Kansas.

and to save the large expenditure of state funds required to maintain these several boards.
Governor Allen has plans for unwinding the tape from the state administration by reducing the number of boards, commissaries, and burens that are handling state affairs. He purposes to eliminate duplication of work
At the present time eleven boards look after the health of the state. He proposes to establish one central health department which will perform the duties of all eleven boards. All boards dealing with live stock, horticulture, irrigation will be centralized in a department of agriculture.

The Public Utilities Commission will receive charge of the state water survey board in addition to its duties relative to drainage, dams, and reservoirs. The industrial work formerly given to the old public utilities commission and activities of labor department, industrial welfare commission, factory inspection bureau, free employment bureau and other problems relative to workmen and labor will be administered by a new Industrial Court to be provided for
This is certainly a step in the right direction. The large expense in the administration of state affairs in unadwaried, as efficient, organized central burcause can easily handle the work of many small subsidiary committees. If Kansas adopts these plans, she is blazing a trail toward better administration and ultimate reform and better coordination of the several departments of state government.
Campus Opinions
Editor University Daily Kansan:
To every man and woman in the University might well be put the questions, "Do you know?" and "Do you care?" regarding topics like these: the committee which is now investigating supposed English atrocities in Ireland; the beginnings of Home Rule in India; the Chinese famine; the condition of Australia, stripped, deattached, and encumbered by a record of representative government in New York; the lynching record of the past few years; the threatened wave of unemployment in this country.
The Y. M. C. A. has started an admirable movement in organizing amalgam discussion groups. Why should not such a plan be extended to reach every man and woman in the University? And why should it not be developed for discussion of topics not only or University but also of universal interest? It is in little groups, where there is the finest give and take, that men's sentiments and opinions that fallacies are best exploded, that fallacies are best exploded, windy pretensions punctured, and shurish智 minckeden.

Grades below passing have their value. If a student makes enough of them, he is sure of getting a direct approval of the proposed Union building.
Let us give thanks, says a junior student, for the high price of paper, which has indirectly decreased the supply of text books.
The University of California is planning a big $200,000 stadium that will be large enough to accommodate the crowd attending the annual California-Stanford contest. A concrete structure is planned that will hold 60,000 persons. The general plan of the Yale stadium will be followed. As yet no definite plans for raising the money have been adopted.
On Other Hills
The Boxing Club is by far a greater success this year than it has ever been before. The large membership proves that many students have taken a very keen interest in the art of self defense. This is not only the case in McGill alone, but also in many other universities.
Teacher-training classes under the Department of Trade and Industrial Education, University of Texas, are being conducted in every large city in the State. The object of the work is the training of teachers along different industrial lines in these cities, so that these teachers may then carry on the work of instruction among working men and women.
Three student directories will be issued this year in place of one. The former directories have contained a list of all the students in all of the three branches of this year this year will contain the list of the students in the Main University at Austin and a list of the faculty, and another will list the students in the Medical Branch at Galveston College. The Mines and Metallurgy at El Paso. The third bulletin will be a consolidation of the latter.
