Published in the afternoon evening a week by students in the Department of Journalism of the Wimborne University, press office of the Department of Journalism Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAS! Lawrence, Kansas Phones, K. U. 25 and 66. The Daily Kansan aims to picture undergraduate life of the University, and the thaner simply printing the news by standing for the ideals the students embrace; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to wiser heads; in all to wiser hearts; in all to the students of the University. MONDAY, SEPT. 27, 1920 FAST, FAST K. U. A slander on the name of the Uni- versity of Kansas is contained in a story printed in the Topeka Daily Capita- l Sunday. The story told of the "wild" life of the K. U. rush week and its attendant fines in the Lawrence police court. The University authorities should find out who sent that story. As a matter of fact, fewer fines were recorded in the Lawrence police court this year than ever before during rush week. Sororities, even more than fraternities, were slandered in the "news" story. The Capital's regular, authorized counsel here, knows nothing about the story and did not send it to Topela. Facts were utterly ignored in the tirade on the University's "social act." The profuse use of quotation marks around such words as, dates, midnight parties, and the like leave the reader with the impression that the University is still as black as it has been painted by irresponsible newspaper stories of the past. The article contained an interview with a Lawrence speed officer that was never given out. Chief Pat Fisher of the local police department was warm in his praise of the conduct of the rush week festivities. THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Canital's many readers, including a majority of the farmers of Kansas should know the truth of K. U's "fast, fast life." There were but two police court fines for speed, during rush week, four of these were from Lawrence residents and some of the remainder were from K. U. students not connected with rush week. Further incriminating himself, the writer of the article tells of wild midnight parties that never were staged, hair-raising automobile ride, promissious dates and all the attendant features that goes with the picture of the University of Kansas "as she is painted." The worst feature of the entire story in the fact that the writer, evidently without a vestige of that old time chivalry that used to characterize such stories from Lawrence, says the women were far worse in their sins than were the men. To further prejudice the people of the state against the University's Greek litter societies, the correspondent added, that "during the season the goddeses of gaiety and bhilarity raised supreme. Both boys and girls were 'wined and dined' in majestic style." And then the story goes on to the effect that after the week is over, the girs the drudgery of shining shoes shows the lawn, painting the fraternity home and running errands," for the men, and "waiting tables, washing dishes and other service tasks unbecoming an older member of the organization," for the women. The utterly false statements of the story, together with the apparent unfamiliarity with the workings of a fraternity or sorority house denotes that the writer is a new student in the University. May we, representing the best interests of the University, not say to this irresponsible member of the University family that his flowy style, coupled with a more diligent search after facts might well be applied to rhetoric themes? But the final responsibility rests, not with the correspondent, but with the editorial staff. Is it not better, we ask, for a newspaper to depend on a regular and trusted correspondent than to snatch at copy coming from a questionable source? TICKETS, PLEASE But next spring? Track, basketball, and baseball, are all supreme as sports in their seasons, all are major University sports, and deserve the support of the entire student body just as much as football does. Probably 50 per cent of the 4,000 people who are connected with the University student body and faculty will see most of the home football games this year. The "who it up for Kansas" spirit is at its greatest height this fall, and everything points townas the greatest demonstration of spirit and loyalty in the history of the institution. The loyal student will put himself on record right now, at the beginning of the school year, as being behind K. U's entire athletic program, for attendance at every athletic event of the season, as well as the band and club clubs, concerts, and other university functions, by purchasing a student enterprise tickets, admitting to every one of the University activities. The saving is considerable, both of time, and of money. The moral support to the team of knowing that K. U. is behind her men, at every contest, is invaluable to the athletes. "Don't fail to buy a football season ticket," you won't be likely to, any-way, but go it one better, and take in everything with a student enterprise ticket. ONE AT A TIME "We want no more class process, sions," was a statement recently made by an instructor to his class. The instructor was right. The ever-tardy and loitering student is a nuisance and a pest. He becomes at one, a source of, annoyance to his instructors and his classmates. He imposes on the University; he cheats himself. Ten minutes between classa is a short time, yet, in ten minutes, the average person can walk from Spooner to the administration building, read all the posters on the way, retrace all the posters on the way, retreat his steps to the library and still have a minute to spare. Architects to Award Medals. The Architectural Society will hold its first meeting Tuesday evening, September 28, in room 305, Marvin meeting the medals will be presented to the winners of the Thayer prizes. a minute to space. Of course, if one stops to talk to friends, to smoke, or to make that date with the one girl that takes his eye, he is going to arrive in class with a red face, short breath, and a blah mark against his name. However, a steady stride from one building to an other will place one in his class on time and in a happy frame of mind. We are college students today; workers in the world of affairs tomorrow. The later life demands that punctuality be an essential of success. Promptness is a worthy habit, and one of the best places to cultivate it is at the University of Kansas. These medals are given by Mrs. W, B. Thayer for excellence in architectural design. This is the first medal won by a woman, and will be given annually hereafter. The winners last year were J. Leland Benson and Homer Forbes Neville. Architects to Award Medals Concert Course Tickets Out Season tickets for the eightth an- nual University Concert Course are required. Students who have ordered them, 'The only way these tickets may be obtained is by mail from Prof. H. L. Butler. A check must accompany the order to: 1. a self-addressed, tamped envelope.

Entirely under the management of the Buddhist priests it consisted mostly of instruction in Buddhist literature and Folk Lore, supplemented by enough mathematics to conduct the calculation of arithmetic and to calculate their calendar of religious festivals. To obtain an education it was necessary to enter the priesthood and live in the monasteries. The system of instruction was by oral repetition until memorized. The product was often quite refined in its character and due to the credit of missionaries from America that Siam has broken away from the past and is making remarkable progress in modern education. In illustration of how recent and how great the change. The chief of one of the Northern Provinces was a scholar who took part in missionaries—You have succeeded in teaching the younger generation that the Earth is a globe revolving in space and they believe it, but old duffers like myself still cannot understand why the fellow on the under side does The first steps the Government took towards the change was to bring men from the University of England to start the work. Their pupils were sent to Europe to complete their education and come back and take part in the inauguration of the new. Now they are all throughout the country, entirely independent of the monastery system, ranging from the Primary to the University. This latter is situated in Bangkok the capitol. Prominent among the courses in this great institution are Education, Law, Medicine Engineering, Forestry and Agricultural Calculated to fit men for Government service in the offices, fields, mines, forests, railways, etc. Let it be said, incidentally, that Siam's laws for conservation of national resources are excellent and are consistently carried out effecting their purpose. One was to offer any criticism on the Eden Project, and it would be that European University methods are crowded down to far into the primary grades. Campus Opinions The American is most welcome in Siam and every concession is readily made him that will advance the mutual relationship for good. Is This Putting K. U. First? Editor The Daily Kansan: The fair name of the University was beamirched, the contention of her enemies upheld, and her honor prostituted for a few dollars, Sunday. The governor, then appointed, used three fourths of a column described this year's rush week, employing such phrases as "cabaret dinners," "fast bunch," "wined and dined," "continuous round of midnight parties" and "friendlies in contenders in these postural parties." The damning article was untruthful, exaggerated, and an example of the yellow hue type of yellow journalism. The most horrific part of the University of Kansas in the The author of the article should be called to account and summarily punished. Paul E. Flagg. The most beautiful building on the campus does not show up to the best advantage, simply because the grounds in front of it are so unattractive.

Coming at this time when the Uni versity needs the whole-hearted cooperation of the people of Kansas, such an article is unfair, destructive, and disloyal. spot of the campus, if only more attention could be given to the sur. roundings. No matter how attractive a build, may it be *milk*; be set off by means of landscaping or it does not.

Then cars would not be parked right up to the opening door; they would not accustom, late all over the place. Time Clock is Hope Held Out For Blake Perhaps this has not been done because of lack of funds since it would mean some expense. However, the weeds could be kept down, the trash collected and put away or paratively small sum. And this should be done as soon as possible. In years to come we must look elsewhere for the butt of hill rid, rule. No longer will 8:25 be the standard time of the University for the old Blake Hall clock will soon be a thing of the past. A new clock has been ordered, and with a few changes the clock service will be placed in the old steeple. "The present clock must be between thirty and thirty-five years old," said John Hill, superintendent of the school. "We've fully until about six years ago." Wednesday evening the members of the Kappa Pi phi heard interesting reports from Marie Shaklee and Ruth Adair, who attended the Kappa Pi national convention at Iowa City last June. Last year the hands of the clock moved up seven minutes. This gave rise to various interesting explanations. One was that the pigeons and batee of the steeple had brushed it with their wings, and so were responsible for this flight of time. Others say that the bat is not strong enough nor the pigeon is powerful on the clock. The mystery remains unsolved. It is evident, only, that even with a dead clock—temps fugits. Erma Smith, c19, left Wednesday for Vassar college where she will instruct in physiology. Miss Smith is the assistant officer on the Hill last year. Briand to Be French Premier. Paris, Sept. 23. Parisa afternoon papers announced authoritatively to day that Aristide Briand would be appointed Premier by the new Press,敏 Alexander Millerand. Briand, it was said, will include in his cabinet Georges Clemenceau, Jean Monet, Steeve, and possibly former president, Raymond Poincaré as Minister of Finance. Coal Supply Sufficient The University heat plant has a larger supply of coal at present than at the opening of any previous school year, according to John M. Shea, superintendent of buildings and grounds. Mr. Shea says that there is now on hand a sufficient supply of coal to last until January 1st. It is unofficially announced that the noon luncheons will be held every Friday before a football game. "Windy" Windsor stated that he would hold a conference with Chancellor Lindley on Monday and that the Chancellor is heartily in favor of tattoos. The team also stated that "Windy" also stated that hereafter there would be four entrances to the Gym instead of one. Vacancies in W, S, G, A.
