The Daily Kansaan aims to pique students' curiosity at the University of Kansas, to go farther than their standing for the ideals the course offers, to be clean, to be cheerful, to leave more serious problems to leave more serious problems to serve the lack of the ability of the university.
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18.1920
THE PLEASURE OF IT
Rome was not built in a day, but great progress on the stadium and student union seems to have been made in two days.
There is a new institution on the campus. It is the "Stadium Smile." This smile is worn only by those who also wear the little red tags. These persons have discovered the unkindable pleasure connected with the contribution of money toward the futherance of a cause that means an invaluable asset to their University. There is no doubt about it—They are proud of what they have done; and they have a right to be.
They have assisted in an adventure, that is unique in the annals of the University of Kansas. They have participated in a movement in which students, for the first time in the history of the school, are financially helping toward the expansion of their University. In so doing, they are assisting in placing the University of Kansas on an equal footing with other great educational institutions of the country—a position it has long held in scholastic and pedagogical quality if not in material assets.
These contributors are not noun of their "donations"—let us be sparing in the use of the word. Rather, they are indulging in a bit of self-gratification in the knowledge that they have paid their debt to their Alma Mater. They are rathr pleased with themselves to know that they most willingly signed on the dotted line when their names were called. Perhaps it is no exaggeration to say that they are afflicted with a small amount of egoism.
And it's the kind of egotism we all ought to have.
PRICES ON THE SLED
News dispatches from the manufacturing centers of the East indicate that wearing apparel is the first commodity to board the togoban of price reductions. Just how general or how permanent these reductions will be is yet to be determined, but it is evident on the face that there is a tendency to return to normality in the prices of many of the food products as well as clothing.
It would be interesting to know an curatively just what influence the overall-wearing campaign of last spring had upon the price reductions of clothing. The campaign here at the University assumed the proportions of a fad rather than a move towards economic adjustment, and it is probable that many of the overall weavers realized but little upon their investment. But it must be granted that the very existence of such a campaign was a strong indication of public
it regards the continuing upward trend of prices, and it should not be hastily stated that the overall brigade did not have its effect. It must be admitted, however, that the direct effect of the campaign on price regulation was not tremendous.
If the present falling in prices is a part of the post-war readjustment, it will be a surprise to many economists, who had expected the re-adjustment to be accompanied by great financial and commercial perturbations. But the retail stores simply advertise price-cutting sales, the manufacturers announce lower wholesale prices, and everybody is satisfied, except the fellow who bought a suit a week before the sales were announced.
Twisting the Tiger's tail will be a lot more fun in the new stadium. There will be a bigger echo when the bones crack.
SURPLUS OF ROOMS
The effect of an organized campaign towards the accomplishment of a purpose can be no more clearly ascertained than by a graece at the Kansas's wanted columns. There are frequently half a dozen or more rooms for rooms to rent, and ads of this nature were conspicuously absent last year.
The campaign for increasing the student rooming capacity in the Lawrence residential district is the only reason that can be assigned to this surplus. The University enrollment has not decreased, and there have been few if any rooms built. The campaign opened up the rooming houses to an extent that the 1920 student body has been taken care of fairly easily. In so doing, the campaign decided a problem that had been troubles University authorities for some time. A rooming house shortage was becoming a serious impediment to the University's progress. It cannot be determined at this time.
It cannot be determined at this time whether there will be a tightening of the available rooming facilities and a recurrence of the problem next year or not. But for the present, the problem is, to all appearances, solved.
As the campaign goes, so the University."—H. Merle Smith.
TAXES AND DUTY
"Why, my father pays taxes to support the University. Why should I contribute any more?"
That's the attitude taken by an erring few who have not yet contributed to the drive because of a mistaken sense of duty already performed.
Many fathers pay taxes to support the University, it is true. But there are few who pay taxes enough that the portion going to K. U. amounts
to the forty dollar minimum of the drive.
Let's beat the Aggies—Ames, Purdue and Kansas.
VICENTE BLASCO IBANEZ
To a Spaniard, Víctor Blasco Ibanez, has fallen the distinction of being the first Continental novelist to become an American "best seller." He is even more than that; statistics at the b ginnning of the year showed that two of America's six bit sellers were novels by Blasco Ibanez. One of them was "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse," undoubtedly the big novel of the war. The other was Blasco Ibanez' latest work, "Mare Nostrum," a story of the Valencian coast of the Mediterranean.
His honors have been many. The readers of "The Four Horsemen," are numbered by the hundreds of thousands. The degree of Doctor of Laws was conferred on Blasco Ibanez at the same time as upon General Perishing. The Tribune has paid him two thousand dollars for a story. A great syndicate of journals, publishing six hundred thousand issues daily, has engaged an article from him every week.
And all this time the majority of American people go on calling him Senior Blancz. The novelist has two family names, Blasco Blancz, with Vicente, not Victec Blancz, as a given name. Blasco Blancz, although he admires American simplicity, does not particularly enjoy having the Blancz portion of his name suppressed

All the neighbors said such some were a soundful and disgrace.
To the Editor:
It's hard to keep awake in Spooner Library, especially on the second foot
When every seat at every table is filled all the afternoon and all evening, the air is vitilified to such an extent that you are often unless a student has in unusual amount of pep it is hard to keep the mind on what those pages say.
Then when the library is finally closed in the evening, every window in the room is closed and every other source of ventilation is cut off. While the atmosphere may get cooler during the night, it is not changed, and is just as bad or rather that much worse the next day.
MCGil University reports a marked increase in the enrollment in boxing classes this year. The men of the United States have been the most successful sport that has not existed in the past.
There is no reason why these windows could not be left open all night on many nights. If not too cold, and if there is no danger of a storm then you should leave the house as soon have to be very cold before this plan would endanger the radiators.
A general mixup in the athletics of Toledo University has resulted in faculty action in the expulsion of football as a college activity. The athletic affair of the University had been so mismanaged that the fact was brought
And the results would be beneficial. It is almost impossible to study in vitiated air, and it takes much longer to cover the same amount of work. To overcome this the library would increase the efficiency of every student using it.
Fifteen new sections have been added to the bleachers at Rolins Field Columbia, to accommodate those who will see the Kansas-Missouri football game. It is expected that a crowd of 10,000 persons will be present for the game, and incoming accommodations have also been constructed at each end of the field.
The bright red blankets worn by the Nebraska team at McCook were presented to the squad by Clyde Elliott, a former Nebraska star. The blankets were presented to the players at the game with Penn State.
On Other Hills
The department of Trade and In industrial Education at the University of Texas is conducting training classes for teachers in every large city of the state. The object is to enable the teachers to conduct classes in industrial lines among the various workers of their localities.
There will be three distinct student directories issued at the University of Texas this year. There will be separate directories for the main university the medical branch, and the state school of mines and metallurgy.

A Coloradoan has launched a combined Vanity Fair contest and subscription campaign to select the most beautiful women in the University of Colorado. The subscription campaign is based on the beauty contest, each subscriber being allowed one vote. The pictures of the six winners will comprise the Vanity Fair section of the 1821 annual. Subscription books have been distributed online and to the Internet dent girls. An interesting center is expected.
to light that several men not enrolled at the University were playing on the football team.
It has been announced that the students enrolled in classes in journalism at the University of Michigan will receive news-writing and editing. They will prepare articles for publication in local papers and for syndication through the Associated Press. This announcement was made through the Michigan Journal.
This plan will give the students practical experience and a stimulus for good work. A record will be kept of the amount of material published by each student and he will be graded accordingly.
Joseph L. Burkholder, e' 98, who is at present with the U. S. Reclamation Service at Denver, Colorado was recently assigned by the Government to a special engineering problem in the West Indies.
