The Daily Kaean aims to plea for students of the University of Kansas, to go farther than standing for the ideals the ideas serve; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be brave; to have more serious problems to serve to the beat of its ability to serve to the beat of its ability.
HERE'S TO YOU. T. J
TUESDAY, OCT. 5, 1920
Many Lawrence business mem worked together to solve the problem of the night shirt parade. They succeeded beautifully and they deserve high credit.
But one man in particular merits the gratitude of the University—and the town too, for that matter.
Almost a year ago he began laying plans for the celebration that filled Lawrence and the University with good feeling Saturday night. He talked with business men, students and members of the faculty as to the best way of providing the greatest pleasure to the greatest number without violating the rights of anyone. He got the movement started and stayed with it until the last nights crawled tired and contented into bed.
T. J. Sweeley, town booster twenty- four hours a day, is a regular fellow and a superfine chairman of the entertainment committee of the Chamber of Commerce. Long may be wave!
A recent newspaper headline says:
"Edison Working on Machine to Talk With Dead." This ought to be good news to instructors who have 8:30 classes.
EVERYBODY OUT!
Whoever thinks that a peep meeting or a rally is called for the purpose of giving the yell leaders a chance to practice for oral interpretation is mistaken. When a peep meeting is announced it is for the purpose of getting every one out to it, both male and female, to awaken your interest in activities on the Hill.
All meetings of this sport have been fairly well attended this year, but everyone should be out, the bleachers should be filled on raily nights and whn it is in the gym the building should be filled.
The women have certainly shown their interest in athletics this year, both by attending the meetings and giving support in buying athletic tickets.
But it should be remembered that a peep meeting is no place for you, if you belong to the dignified class, if you are afraid that you will spill your throat, then the best place for you is at home with a piece of flannel around your arms for we must "Put K. U. First," even before our threats.
If you are a girl and go to a rally and are afraid that some one will rub against you and winkle your dress and are afraid to open your mouth and yell for fear the lip stick will be dislace. Perhaps you too had better stay at home, for people of your sort will never be missed at the next rally.
Watch your step and don't ge youwnlpl placed in the wrong class.
LOOK ABOUT YOU
Are you developing your powers of observation? Are you training your eyes to see?
Most of us are blind and don't know it. If called upon to give a description of our daily surroundings, we would fall down completely. An army officer found that not one soldier in ten could give the number of buttons on an O. D. blower, or describe the insignia on these buttons, although accustomed to handling them every day. Students probably are just as unobserving.
How many correct answers could you give if presented with a questionaire somewhat as follows:
How many sidewalks cross Oread
ive on the campus?
How many gables has Fraser Hall? What famous naturalists are named on Dvche Museum?
How many globes have the lightposts on the campus?
How many flagpoles on the Hill, and where are they located?
What varities of trees are most common on the campus?
How many entrances has Robinson Gymnasium? Green Hall?
What is the inscription above the entrance; to Spooner Library? How many bulletin boards on the camps?
Try questions similar to those upon your friends. The answers you receive will surprise you. Then the next time you are on the Hill, open your eyes, and you will become aware of many interesting features of the old familiar objects which you have heretofore ignored.
MUST REGAIN CONFIDENCE
It will be some time before the base ball lovling public gets over the recent exposure of the corruption practice in the last world's series baseball games. The whole affair is almost unbelievable, and constitutes one of the greatest violations of public evidence ever perpetrated.
Maaj League baseball is a national sport. The United States over, people are interested in it, and through the sport pages of the various newspapers, follow it from day to day. Some of the most ardent supporters of this team or that are men and women who have never seen a major league game played.
Their faith has been shattered, and unless some drastic course of action is immediately taken by the heads of the two leagues involved, it will be a long time before it will return. And the game can't prosper without it.
HOLDING THE SACK
With prices of other commodities falling rapidly, the printers and publishers may expect to find themselves holding a figurative sack, for there is not the faintest indication of a fall in the price of print paper. On the contrary, within the three weeks in which automobiles, cotton goods, silks, wheat and potatoes have taken spectacular declines, paper has gone no thirteen per cent.
With paper, it's a case of supply and demand rather than one of speculation. The only other element entering into the situation is that of labor, until declining prices become more general. The limited number of trees available for paper manufacture does not increase with falling prices, nor does the demand decrease, and there can be no drop in labor cost So Mr. Citizen may expect to pay the same price or even more for his books and his newspapers for some time to come.
Printers and publishers see a long, hard winter before them, with much explaining to be done. Persons who supposed there was inflation in paper prices are finding it to be less the case than with any other commodity. Certainly no such revolution as the one which cut $1350 off the price of the Loomobile can be expected in the paper market.
A JINX
The two principle nominees for President evidently have a jinx following them. Almost every edition of the big dallies contains something new and refreshing in the line of railroad wrecks. The "Official" car, of course, figures strongly in each story, the latest of which involves a rooster
and describes his part in warding off another derralment. It seems he was found perched on one of the bracing rods beneath the car, and in capturing him, railroad inspectors noticed serious defects in the condition of one of the wheels, which, had they not be noticed, would have resulted in serious trouble. No one knew where he as going.
INSURE YOUR HEALTH
Get your innoculations early and avoid the rush.
Students get your health insurances now while they are cheap. The attendants at the hospital that say very few of the students of the university have availed themselves of the privilege of being insured against smallpox and typhoid fever. The inoculations for typhoid fever and the vaccinations for small pox are being given free at the university hospital now and those students who take either of these diseases later will have to pay for medical care if they have not availed themselves of these
Right now the big question before the public is: Which contains the biggest crooks, baseball or politics?
much
Newspapers all over the United States are trying their best to educate women to vote. In other words, they are only teaching them to use another weapon instead of the proverbal rolling pin.
If a more poet, with a handful of men can defy the Lengua of Nations indiscretely, what can a country like Spain do to a nation like Vienna hand man like Senor Villa?
The Polish army with the characteristic disobedience of a naughty child has again crossed the Russian border in spite of the warnings of Jonas and Lloyd George—it might be another case of The Prodial Son.
All ex-soldiers in the University will be gild to hear that "Hard Boiled Smith" has been paroled by Secretary Baker for good behavior, which goes to prove that there's a chance for the worst of us.
F. D. Calkins and his wife, Anna L. Calkins, former students of K. U. are still enthusiasts. They have subscribed to the University Daily Kansas and wish all back numbers of the paper. Mrs. Calkins, nee Anna Calkins, former student of the cultural College and Colorado State Normal at Greely, take her A. B from K. U. in 1920 with her major in the department of history. Mr. Calkins entered K. U. in 1916. He later attended Colorado State Normal and Baker Normal, taking his courses in the sciences and nomics. Mr. Calkins is now super-intendent of the La Jara Consolidated Schools, La Jarra, Colorado.
EDUCATION THAT LASTS
"The trouble with most of us is that we fall by the wayside, having graduated from some university, feeling that, the first line crossed, the follower has been crossed whereas the hustle has just but begun.—The Outlook."
"I think," said a Young-Old Christopher, "that people are much like race-horses. There are thoroughbreds; and there is an underdone breed, a sort of rifffraw that make them now and then, and finally, suddenly, drop in their tracks, unable to run the race to the end. There is an aristocracy of the body as well as the mind; a spiritual something in the human frame itself that quite justify not that ye are temples of the Holy Ghost? and which there is no gainess. If, combined with that throughbredness of the body, you find in a man a delicacy and superlative excellence of soul and mind and strength that lasts, that 'holds the fort in desperate days', to snatch a line of Stevenson, and that magnificently refuses to surrender. That kind of man goes on to the end of his days, easily sensible of his civic duties, his mental development.
On Other Hills
Brutus Hamilton, the M. U. Olympic star who finished third in the Olympic games for individual honors, will win to win his football letter this fall.
The University of Utah has adopted the honor system in regard to the conduct of examinations. This means that no teacher will remain in the room during an examination, but that he or she will be put entirely on their honor.
An amendment to the student body constitution providing for the installation of the honor system was passed by a large majority last spring. The new rule requires point members from each class, who meet together, will form a court which will try cases of violation. The court will suspend the offender from the privilege of Joining in the student body, and his dismissal from the University.
A prosecuting attorney who will swear out warrants and conduct the prosecution of those guilty of any of offense against the system.
Harvard college gained a prodigy at studies and potential batman for its baseball nine when Frederick Santee of Wanwallpoen, Pa., 13 years old, registered as a member of the national mastered five languages, works problems in calculus with facility and has advance far beyond his years in other branches of academic study, but his keenest delight, he told his classmates, is to get out and play ball, and Frederick Santee is a budding Babe Ruth, whose heavy hitting won more than one game for his high school team.
Make your school work easier by giving proper attention to your eyes.

"Suiting You"
THAT'S MY BUSINESS

Don't treat 'em rough
Here's some good advice that will save some money for you: take care of your clothes; brush them often, hang them up on a good ganger at night; take all heavy articles out of the pockets—keys, notebooks, etc.; alternate your suits—wear one a few days and change off. Good clothes deserve good care; you'll be well repaid if you "treat 'em" with care.
Fall styles for young men
YOU ought to see them; new ones from Hart Schaffner & Marx that are the livest we've ever seen. Simplicity is the main note—but it's interpreted in such a way that the clothes look distinctive We've made our prices very low and our standards are very high. If you aren't satisfied money back.
