The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate students to go for further than merely printing the news by making it understandable; the ideals the university holds; the virtues to be clear; to be cheerful; to be wise; to be humble; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all to make a better impression on the students of the University.

ANOTHER THEORY SHOT!
Hitherto the croaker and enemies of K. U. have lamented and bewailed the lack of interest in athletics shown by the young women of the University. It has been insinuated so often that pink tites and dances were all the recreation the university women cared for that the majority of the people of Kansas and even of the students themselves began to believe it. That it was maliciously untruised by the way the young women of the University have "gone over the top" in the ticket selling campaign of the student enterprise tickets. Many of the sororities and rooming houses have made 100 per cent sales with the other houses a close second. The young women of K. U. have effectively answered the charge against them.
NOTHING.
If the truth were always told, people would know or do very little. Ask the average student what he did yesterday afternoon and nine chances out of ten he will answer, "Nothing." Or if he is looking across the country in a preoccupied manner and you ask him what he is thinking about, very likely he will answer, "Nothing."
Of course, we take all this with a grain of salt. We know that “nothing” is the easiest thing thought of, or that it is intended to throw off a questioner.
Everyone knows that this person was not in a state of coma and very probably he walked, talked and maybe studied. When his mind was engrossed, he may not have remembered just what he was thinking about, but it was something.
When the philosophical agnostics convince everyone that everything is nothing then, we may answer, "Nothing," with a clear conscious. But so far, many people still believe in material things and the answer, "Nothing," is merely an evasion of the question.
THE SPIRIT LIVES ON
From the New York Alumni Association of the University of Kansas, comes word of a "Pirate Cruise" which was to be held last Saturday. Former dwellers on Mt. Oread who now live in the big metropolis were to enjoy a boat-trip and a dance.
There is a pretty undercurrent in this announcement, in New York, some fifteen hundred away, former Jayhawkers are banded together with a common bond. They are being of service to themselves and to the University. Doubly, graduates of twenty-five and thirty years ago were among those who attended the excursion, but enthusiasm probably consumed them as much as it did the younger graduates.
At the same time Emporia Normal
was going down to defeat, to the hearty "Rock-Chalking" of a huge crowd, these loyal alumni were also shouting. The fire which Alma Mater kindled again broke into flames. And those so phisticated New Yorkers who watched the confflagration saw Crimson and Blue sparks which seemed ever-burning.
ONE RAH FOR STUDY
A suggestion was recently heard, in the classes of the economics department to the effect that it would be a great thing if at least one of the "rabs" could be made for study. Of course, the concession must be made that the tone of the K. U. song, Crimson and the Blue, is suggestive of the academic phase of college life rather than the sportive, but nevertheless this song is perhaps sung just enough to allow certain students to drift away from its proper meaning and thought.
On second thought we should all perhaps agree to the idea of cheering for "College study" but the Kansan ventures the opinion that if it is made the aim of the cheerleading staff to put this yell across to the public at an opportune time in a good football game it will bring favorable comment from the public as well as the presupposed approbation of the K. U. faculty.
Campus Opinions
Editor Daily Kansan:
Why does K. U. not have distinctive wearing apparel for the members of its different classes. At the University of California the Freshmen wear a hat of either black or blue felt with a hankaband. This hat can be worn in practically any shape and is visible for some distance by its yellow band. The Sophomore colors vary according to the year in which they enter the University. Each year the color alternates from red to green. The Sophomore who came in when the color was green had graduated the sophomore year. If he came in during the red regime his official cap is black and white checked. These caps are regulation size and distinctive. Juniors wear corduroy trousers and Seniors have a regulation hat—a Stetson of tan color and with a black band. This suit is necessary to wear them it is considered an honor. Could we not have a tradition like this?

DANGEROUS MR. McKEEVER
There is a man at large out in Oklahoma who ought not to be. He is bouncing about that fair young commonwealth stirring up unrest. His attention is devoted chiefly to the middle-sized cities, and he is rapidly getting them disatisfied with something ought to be lone about him.
The man is one William A. M. Keever of the University of Kansas. His activities in his own State are reputed to have stirred up the biggest probit wave, and now is doing it to Oklahoma.
What is he doing? He has got all the middle sized towns competing with one another to determine which will come to an end November 15, and the city adjudged winner will receive $2,500, offered by the Rotary Club of Shawnee Decision will be made on the showing by the various clubs; the like; and the like; industrial conditions; the schools, their management, equipment, contact with the community, methods of instruction, management of athletics, number of teachers for physical education, moral safeguards, opportunity for social life, religion, organizations for child welfare and housing.
Really the man is a menace—to improper conditions. Long may he wave—Collier's
ANALYZING A PERFECT BOOB
He always hesitates before entering a revolving door. He never knows which direction is which, and he boasts that he never learns slang expressions until long after their popularity has ceased, and he always fumbles with his change at ticket windows so long that all the other waiters are waiting in line miss their trains.
ever he sends in answers to magazine or newspaper prize contests, or requests for information, he forgets to address and address with his contribution.
He ends every letter with "thanking you in advance," and he believes that communism has something to do with the always war. Service is always avails himself of special offers the day after the offer closes, and when-
He prides himself on his ignorance of politics, and doesn't know the name of any member of the Supreme Court of the United States. He calls the outlaw board the "owigee" and Lloyd George "Lord George." He usually supplements "goggles" with "hill," so he can never remember which is the bad one, Dr Jekyll or Mr. Hyde; or which is the tall one, Mutt or Jeff.
He doesn't believe anything he does not see, and he doesn't see very much. —Life.
SIXTEEN STATES AID SOLDIERS
Mr. William E. Hannan, in the Times (New York) of September 5 calls attention to projects in many States intended to aid returned soldiers of the World War and tells us that sixteen States have already enacted substantial legislation on the subject, approximately 1,148,297 ex-service members in eight States, Mr. Hanna says:
"Eleven of the sixteen States encourage the returned soldier to continue his education by remitting to him all tuition fees or the grant of a scholarship of several hundred dollars a year; while three of the States plan to give relief to any soldier or his dependents who may need it.
"The foregoing activities involve or consist of the part of the States involved in the recovery in the case of the cash bonus alone, already provided by Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Hampshire and Wisconsin, the amount will total $75,100,000 and if the voters in Maine, New Jersey, New York and Rhode Island approve the cash bonus passes down to them by the Legislatures, the further sum of $ 2,500,000 will be added. By these eight States, therefore, a grand total of $ 511,000,000 can be expended — review of Reeves' report."

MOUNTAINS, miles and minutes give way before electricity, the magic motive power. Properly applied, it drives giant locomotives across the continental divide, tows ocean liners through the Panama Canal, or propels huge ships.
Through good light,safe signals,and illuminated highways,it is making travel better and safer and also is increasing the usefulness of transportation methods on land, sea or in the air.

In short, electricity is revolutionizing transportation, making it quicker, safer, more economical and reliable in all sorts of weather.
And back of this development in electric transportation, in generating and transmitting apparatus as well as motive mechanisms, are the co-ordinated scientific, engineering and manufacturing resources of the General Electric Company, working to the end that electricity may better serve mankind.
