The Daily Kansaan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the class. The school's then merely printing the news by standing for the ideas the teachers obeyed; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable to be courageous; to learn to teach lems to wiser heads, in all to serve the students in all the duties of the University.
CONSIDER THE MAN
WEDNESDAY, OCT. 6, 1920.
A new spirit dominates the University of Kansas this year. We've all fit it, Doctor Lindley has expressed it, we've shown it in the way we started in our years work, and we've shown it in our football spirit. An "understanding loyalty."
This University of ours has started on a new era of growth. We're going to make it the biggest and the best in the Middle West. And how? Why, by every single student in the school boosting the time, doing everything he can to increase fellowship, to promote loyalty, to develop a sense of responsibility among students, to encourage wholesome recreation, to raise scholastic standards, and to create fair, worth-while student activities and class spirit.
The day of student graft, persona gain, and the indifferent student is gone. The new student is a thinking man. He's thinking about the good of his University as well as himself. He's going to do the square things by his fellow students and his Alma Mater.
When you go to the polls this week to vote for your class officers, keep this in mind. You're a student with a new College spirit. Act accordingly. Act for a candidate just because he is good looking or because he's done something brilliant in some other line, or just because someone asked you to vote that way.
You vote for those candidates whom you think are going to bring carry out the r responsibility that will be given them, who will do the things they could r best for the interests of your class and the University and who will play square with everyone and not yield to the dictates of some small group.
"A dollar saved is a dollar earner." Here's a chance for candidatesto for class officers to earn a lot this week.
WE WANT CONCRETE
Better sidewalks should be the cry of all the citizens of Lawrence and of the students of K. U. The sidewalks of Lawrence with their poorly laid and uneven bricks are with out a doubt the direct and indirect cause of many of the diseases and troubles of the university students. With the one way street car service the students do most of their traveling by walking. It is especially hard on the women with their high heels that are constantly slipping off the loosely laid boards into the crevices between them. As a result weak ankles are developed, not to mention strained muscles and the shock to the nervous system. Even the sweetest, even tempered woman in the university cannot keep her pole and temper after several such experiences, probably many more of the murals occurring on date
nights are caused by this one thing than is ever credited to it.
Of course the upper classman has learned that the best way to combat this evil is to wear low heeled shoes. But even then she is not safe. The freshman woman coming to the university with her shoes for the year already bought, feels she must wear them and get some good out of them. In most cases she cannot afford to buy more. So at the start of her university course she becomes cacely victim of Lawrence's poorly laid, uneven brick sidewalks. And these are but the mere beginnings of the evils resulting from them.
Don't be misled into thinking you've learned the secret of making friends. Remember this is election week.
MIX IT UP
It is a sad confession, but true that the following paragraph, from a story written by Olive Carew, hits the students of the University of Kansas squarely on the head. The shoe fits. Let's put it on.
"We live in a world of strangers. So near each other that arm touches arm, yet an invisible wall separates us from those who might be our friends, our patrons—perhaps our loves. Its name is Convention. Some braver souls dare to scale this wall, but for most of us it is a barrier impassible. Eye meets eye, quickening with a message from soul to soul, but the ips are silent, and we pass—strangers."
How many times a day do we sit in the same class room, by the side of someone whom we would like to know, but we never speak a word, because—well, because its our idea of the unconventional thing to do, or else we would rather the other fellow would make the first move toward becoming acquainted. So we sit, mute, silent, each sceptre wishing the other would settle the wall of conventionality and open the way for conversation. Each hesitates to show any initiative, to the hour passes, class is diameted and we each go our separate ways, having lost perhaps one who might have become a true friend, could we just have gotten acquainted.
How often do we know the name of the person sitting by our side, know many things about him, his home town, his friends, or his chief college interests, but, we don't dare speak to him, because we haven't been formally introduced.
When we meet classmates on the Hill or on the street, we know their names and they know name; recruitment flashes from eye to eye, we are about to smile and speak, when we suddenly remember that we haven't formally met, so we avert our eyes and pass-total strangers. Often we walk side by side on the crowded walks with some one we've wished many times to meet, but there is no one to introduce us, and we don't dare to disregard convention to such an extent as to speak, so we walk on, each seemingly in ignorance of the other's presence.
Then those to whom we have not been introduced are not the only ones to whom we never speak when we
been introduced are not the only ones to whom we never speak when we pass them on the street. College Convention seems to require more yet than an introduction. We seem to feel that we must have met on several different occasions, have shaken hands a few times, and have become very, very well acquainted indeed before we are privileged to speak when we meet on the street.
Let's tear down this wall of needless, foppish convention; let's break ourselves of the habit of "passing up" people on the campus or on the street; let's quitter staring right past people as if we never saw them at all.
This is your University and my University. We have many great interests in common, we owe our loyalty to each other, and we all ought to be good friends. So lets start speaking to every one we know, and everyone we rather think we know. Don't feel badly if you accidentally speak to someone you haven't met; the other fellow will only be blaming his poor memory and calling himself a bad, for not remembering where he met you. What do you say, can't we be friends, not strangers?
On Other Hills
Japan has adopted a policy toward China identical with the one to which she makes such vicious objection and insists on paying zones by the United States in California. There is no opposition in California to Japanese professional and business men, travelers or students; there is no opposition radical. It is purely economical.
Joe Foster, 27 years old, an Italian laborer in Pittsgau, has the record for wages with $150 a week or $7,800 a year. He does the work of three men daily, shovelling about fifty tons of coal from a stock pile into the cars.

Susan B. Anthony, pioneer suffrager, will be nominated for the Hall of Fame by Dean Frank W. Blackman, head of the graduate school at the University of Kansas, who has been one of the one hundred electors of the Hall of Fame since it was founded in 1900. Elections. Dozens of years, Dean Blackman said, and one of the requirements is that the nominee must have been dead ten years—K. C. Star.
Despite the fact that it will not be able to accommodate all the male students sent up from lower schools, Oxford University has thrown open its gates to women, making them eligible for the philological, degrees and scholastic qualifications hitherto exclusively reserved for men.
Students in the University of Missouri are not careful in handling their bank accounts. There has always been a tendency to be lax in writing checks but statistics show that there has been an increase in the number of so called "wooden" checks there within the last year or two.
The University of Washington has offered one course in the department of Journalism to freshmen this year. The course is Literary Backgrounds to News Writing. Sophomores may take three courses: News Writing Country Newspaper, Elements of Publishing and Current Events.

The Cornell Alumni News of Cornell University recently conducted an investigation to determine the status of the graduates of the university a decade after graduated. The class of 1910 which had a membership of 393, was involved in the investigation and may be drawn. After one has been out of college for one decade he may be anything or nothing; married or single; have a war record or none; have been in army service or not; own his own home or not; have voted for Hoover for president or for someone else; have an income of $60,000 or $40 a year; be a banker or a veterinarian employed in the county.
In accordance with the custom inaugurated last year at Dartmouth, an athletic tax of $10 will be collected from each undergraduate. Tax payers are entitled to admission to all home contests on the athletic field and in the gymnasium during the college year with the exception of those played during Carnival and Commencement time. Admission is on foot for both teams with Syracuse, and to the baseball games at Prom with Columbia and Penn. These privileges were not extended last year.

A KANSAS FAULT
Kansas is the only state in the Union that does not build roads or aid in the building of roads. This fact has just been brought to light by an investigation of all the states in the Union relative to their activities in road construction. There are other states in the Union impressed that Kansas, Florida, and Georgia were the only States in the Union that did not build or aid in building roads.
Florida and Georgia with all of the other 45 states, are building roads, and practically all of them are supplying their state road funds from their automobile license fees. This leaves Kansas alone as a state in the Union that does not aid in the construction of highways.
The voters of Kansas will have an opportunity on November 2 to take Kansas out of her love position and place her with all of her Sister States by amending the constitution and permitting the state to pay 25 per cent of the cost of permanent roads in each county.
If Kansas voters fail to ratify this amendment it will mean a backward step for the "Sunflower State" in the matter of road building while every other state in the Union will be making rapid strides in the way of highway improvement. Each roads or State Roads is a very friend of Kansas should not interested in this proposal and see that Amendment No. 5 is adopted by an overwhelming majority on election day.
WEED OUT THE PARASITES
WANT ADS
A private corporation can't afford to have a single useless employee on its pay roll. Governments have droves of them. The "Government stroke" has come to be a proverbial expression. Men don't try to do a normal amount of work when employed by municipal, State or Federal Government. The Government has hired a few of more or less useless employees on the roils. That condition was never more flagrant than it is today. A vast army of new Federal office holders has been created during the past seven years. The war aggrivated a condition which was bad enough before the war. The New York Evening Sun wrote that Government is in one form or another, costs $50,000,000 a year. The Department of Jusdepe spend more than $2,000,000, and in the collection of war revenue the spying eye of Uclean Sam costs the people $21,000,000. The house cleaning can't begin any soon to please the tax payers. At first blush it seems that the Government should advocate the weeding out from Government service the useless employees. But if all unnecessary positions are done away, the holders of important positions might be better paid, and even then the Government would save money. If all the parasites are gotten rid of, then the 66,000 adults in Government Employment Seward of the National Association of Federal Employees, less than $3 a day might be granted a living wage—Leslie's Weekly.

Fischer's Shoes Are Good Shoes
There is a Time
When every man takes down his tail coat or his taxi- edo, his frock coat or his pipe cutaway and goes out to give that girl a treat.
At such times the shoes he wears is a matter of big importance. Just his every-day kicks won't do.
For such occasions—dances and receptions—nothing fills the bill like our style No. 741 illustrated here, a Patent-Colt-Lace Pump—its a stricty dress shoe. Light-flexible—snappy.
