The Daily Kaanan aims to piece up the malfunction of the University of Kansas, to go further than merely printing the news and providing faculty holdouts to play no favourites; to be clean; to be cheerful. The University offers a series of opportunities: to leave more serious problems to whisper hounds; in all to prevent the embarrassment of the students of the University.

SCHOOL EXPENDITURES
According to a report from the office of the state auditor, F. W. Knapp, Kansas has expended $2,500,000 for the maintenance of the University and Agriculture College, during the past year. This amount includes only $50,000 for building purposes, which was used at the Agriculture College. The largest amount for any single item was the University salaries, which totaled approximately $700,000.
Although these amounts seem large, Kansas people have not been burden with school taxes. When the fact is consedred that no building programs were carried out, the sums expended are found to be only for necessaries. And a'nough the salary item is the large at on the list of vouchers, it remains a fact that University professors and instructors have been leaving their positions because of better offers in other institutions. The fact also remains that Kansas schools still stand far down the line in educational qualifications. It is evident that Kansas tax payers have not suffered from school taxes.
A pessimist is a person who no vocates that all the pleasures and joys on the Hill are over balanced by the pain of life which occur thereon. Such things as politics, grafts, quizzes and professors could be included in this class.
SHADES OF PAST HEROES
Did you ever stroll all alone, on a still peaceful day across the golf links, over toward Potter Lake? When you come in sight of McCook field didn't you stop and look at it for just a little while? There was no one there, no one on the gridiron, no one in the bleachers: everything was silent except the breeze rustling the leaves in the trees around the field. But as you stood there didn't the whispering breeze seem to bring to your ears the sound of cheers from ten thousand throats? Couldn't you hear that you heard a good roaring "Pock Chalk?" Then there was a lull in the cheering. Couldn't you see the crowd all tone and eager, on its tiptoes, watching with anxiety for the outcome of some dangerous play? The Tom Smith, or Tommy Johnson, or Adrian Lindsay beautifully carried the ball over the line, and the throng went mad! Cheers, cheers, cheers! Deafening, ringing ear-splitting. Then after a long time the crowd quieted down and became occupied in a joyous, rhythmic "Fiften Fails" for the hero, then another fifteen for the sound.
"she the band struck up a lively, snappy "Booa band," and thrills run through your whole being didn't they? "You filled with patriotism for the University, for the faculty, for the students, for all the world!"
Weren't you bubbling over with pride?
'cw University and its athletics?'
of our University and its athletes?
But then you become aware of a lump in your throat and realized that you were standing all alone looking at a vacant, empty foot-ball field, with no one there, no one on the gridiron, no one in the bleachers; everything was silent except the breeze ruttling the leaves in the trees.
Haven't you done that? Hasn't your imagination brought back to you the sounds of wild cheering, and the feelings you experienced at the big game? If you haven't you don't love McCook Field as you should.
Isn't it about time for someone to write an editorial on the clock in Blake Hall?
EARLY ROLL-CALL
What a pleasant state of mind all of us students have, when we hurry to class and find that we have beaten the whistle five minutes. We take our seat and wonder why every one is so attentive. We wait for the professor to call the roll but to our surprise he begins by saying, "Every one who makes a habit of being tardy shall be put upon my black list." Right then we learn that the only thing for us to do is to get to class ten minutes before the whistle blows for we must be mindful of our professors, and of ourselves also.
If you see a friend you want to talk too be sure to stop on the walk and talk to her. The walk between east and west Ad is the best walk and the best time to talk to her is 10:23 o'clock. Don't let a thing like other people wanting to use the walk bother you.

Campus Opinions
Why can't Kansas have good roads? There must be an answer to that question. The writer drove down from Topeka Sunday night and it's the greatest of wonders that he is here. I am sure we stopped at least twenty times to push the car and the machine into the road, but most roads were practically impassable, particularly was this true in Douglas county—why this should be I do not know. The road to Topeka was plowed up last summer and there it is still plowed up. Not a thing has been done to it since and all because somebody had to drive it. The road lies thusly ever since. It is doubtful if it will ever be fixed. Touring parties through Kansas must get a fine impression of our state. They undoubtedly wonder where all of the bumper crop money goes. California has no kind of a road. I am not asking Kansas to make as fine roads (though it certainly would be fine). I am just asking for possible roads, safe roads.
Editor Daily Kansan;
The question is what is delaying this? Let us concentrate upon it and perhaps by next spring we can have the pleasure of seeing the roads being attended to properly. When you go home Thanksgiving tell your folks about it. When you go home Christmas talk it up strong. Let's put Kansas up along with other states not half so rich and have one of the necessities, mind you not a luxury but capable roads. Let Concatez!
Yours for Good Roads,
A. BUMPER.
The other day a couple of girls were noticed drying their hair in the sun while studying at the same time. In the spring, they were growing efficiency of the modern age?
Can you blame the banks for refusing student accounts, when they, the students, will write a check to pay for them? Or can we take one of them at it today.
NATURAL DESCENDANTS
That Reds exist, no one will deny, but we believe that the Red in America is one of a handful of disgruntled boobs whose *best* case is to assert that the majority is oppressing in some - vague way that tiny Red minority. And we wonder whether even a reddish Red would be able to tell us with a straight face that he proposed to substitute, for a condition where the tiny minority were stopped by the majority from having some choice; and condition were the majority were stopped from having what they want by a tiny minority. The fact is that the Red in this country is a laughable figure. He asks for autocracy in the name of the brotherhood of man.
The danger in this kind of lunatic is that he preaches "direct action." He helps to get the minds of other light-handed folks off the truth that one of the fundamentals of our Government is that its form, its Constitution, its ideals, its hide, and hair may be enchanged when enough of us want it so, but only then. So the Reds' loud-mouthed complaint, stripped of all its pretense, is that there are not enough of his kind to do anything. He proposes, therefore, that a few, by might—by age, by status, by circumstance And this is exactly what the Kaiser proposed and the Czar of Russia.—Collars.
DAMPNESS BRINGS THE DUMPS
Most of us have wondered at times
why it is that our moods depend
so much on the weather.
Joe Bailey of Muskegow, Olda, was the guest of Dwight Shaug at the Kappa Sigma house last week. He attended the commencement of sophomore year at the State College.
A crisp, frosty day makes one feel cheerful and energetic. A damp, dull one tends to cause depression and listlessness.
Dull, rainy weather means a low barometer. When the barometer is low the reduced pressure of the atmo" sphere lets the blood-vessels near the surface of the skin dilate or swell, and so take up more than their usual volume. This makes the brain amacrine, and the flow of skins run slowly.
Soldiers wearing puttees feel the effect of damp weather much less than other men, because the puttees leave more blood and heart energy available for the brain. It has been noticed that men who have lost their legs gain tremendously in mental virior.
The reason why our spirits are affected as well as our brain is that moist air is a better conductor of electricity than dry air. When the weather is damp most of the natural moisture in air is drained into the ground.
Most city workers who have thought about it agree that they do their best work in windy weather. The reason is simple. Calm weather fills the atmosphere with the poisonous air. When it rains, it is duced by human breathing. A wind sweeps this away and replaces it with stimulating oxygen—E. D. Life
GLASS IS SCARCE IN FRANCE
The paper mills of France are busy turning out millions of yards of oiled paper which is being substituted for window glass, while the window glass works which were destroyed during the war are being rebuilt. It is claimed 33 per cent of the nation's glass works were laid waste during the war. The work of reconstruction of these plants is exceedingly slow owing to the difficulty of transporting them on paper tubes necessary, and the specially designed furnaces used in glass industry. It is estimated by engineering experts that it will be three years before the pre-war production of glass can be attained—E. D. Life
Regular Meals
To be well balanced; to keep educational blend at a high state of perfection—that seems worth while. To keep our dreams of a higher standard—and you know very well that when we were younger we thought solemnly of standards beyond any reckoning. To hold in the heart, unhamashed, some deadless line of Keats or Shakespeare will make a man almost an angel, mentally, and will help him to be more generous, more companionable, more to be desired than rubles, when we go back to meet him and talk with him after the lape of years.
