The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students in the then merely printing the news by stand-up actors, young performers; to play the stories; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous and to solve problems to wiser heads; in all to encourage the students of the University.
UNIVERSITY AND BOMBS
THURSDAY, SEPT. 23, 1920.
The accusation is current that there is no connecting link between college students and the outer world in regard to the serious problems that confront and harass society in general. College students, many allure, are prone to concentrate their interest on their immediate college life and activities, and to exhibit credulity and indifference to the national and international social and political crises. This condition perhaps exists to some extent in the University of Kansas. We folks on Mount Oread are a susceptible lot, and it might be that we nourish our susceptibility too strongly with local atmosphere.
An explosion occurred in Wall Street the other day, and it is apparent that it was the result of systematic efforts on the part of critical plaques. The shock was not felt here in Lawrence. The daily routine on the University campus continued without interference. New York itself suffered no damage outside the confines of Wall Street. But the common American citizen, interested in his country's welfare, recognizes in the catastrophe a problem that is a perplexing one; because the growing element of discontent, expanding into anarchy, it at the bottom of such destructive tragedies.
Perhaps it is true that no better way of conducting the acquisition of an education is to work with the idea in mind of some day being of service to the world and humanity in the solution of this great problem, whose voice was heard the other day in Wall Street.
THE SURE METHOD
If you want to gain the undying support of a University professor cut his classes regularly. It is something new to him and will amuse and please him. Make a practice of attending about one out of every three of his classes. This will make him appreciate the fact that you are not trying to bore him by thriving yourself upon him. If he should suggest your more frequent attendance, tell him that your other courses demand so much more of your time. This is always a strong point in argument. Or let him know that your society affairs are many, and leave little time for study. This will lead him to believe that you are a social success and he will try to gain favor with you hoping that you will help him to your high social plane.
Doze lightly or write letters in class and he will realize that you are an individual, used to leisure and one whose every inclination must be respected. Conversation with your neighbor often helps to make the class period pass more quickly.
Follow this course of action and the professor will no doubt keep you with aim for another semester in the some course that he may become better acquainted with you.

DO YOU KNOW IT?
On our campus, not one-hundred feet from the walk we use every morning as we go to our classes, west of Green Hall, is one of the prettiest spots in the country. Marvin Grove it is called, and possibly half of the students, would ask where it was if referred to it.
A small grove of beautiful trees covering probably four acres, up in the closed end of the horseshoe formed by Mount Oread we find the restful spot. In the summer, when the foliage is thick, it is a thicket, in the winter, when covered with snow, it resembles the pictures we have seen painted in the art museums.
Winding paths take the student down through the cooling shades of the large trees, in the summer, through the luxurient blue grass, and out on McCook Field.
At the Northwest corner, two rows of evergreen trees have been cultivated, in the years gone by, and the path that leads between this shadyook, is called the lovers lane of the University.
A small brooklet has its origin in Marvin Grove, and takes its course winding down through the trees, out into the bright sunlight, onto the northern flats of the campus.
If asked to point out *Marthin Grove* about fifty per cent of the students body would probably be at sea after reading a brief description of it.
THE PIONEER
"The pioneers into the West fought their way as far as Kansas, then with failing courage turned back toward the East for inspiration in the difficult task to which they had set themselves. The compelling call which had bought them thus far, suddenly lost all significance for them and weakening hearts went back to homes and friends, forsaken." Such is the message of failure that K. U.'s good pioneer of bronze might subtly suggest to all Jayhawkers who pass him, tolling, but with face to the East.
Indeed, what more truly appropriate place for him than at the extreme West end of our campus? But, let us assure him that we would pardon his back, and turn him about to forever be the real representative of his kind and greet even the comparatively few of us who come in at the West entrance of the grounds with the spirit of introspection and perservance of the true pioneer.
ALARMS
Editor University Daily Kansan:
The School year of 1920—1921 has started with success under the leadership of one in whom the student body places all confidence. His move for a new school was good, but he cannot carry it out if the student body does not crowd the hall to its full capacity.
My alarm has a justy ring, while he one in the next room is shrill. I jump when I bear mine ring. When the other rings I just lie still. My alarm is intermittent. The one on the floor above is steady. Mine rings and hostiles pollyly, to see if I am ready. There is also an alarm across street that sounds low and bracing. There is another alarm far away, just when one is doing. My alarm is by far the most polite, but never-the-less it is queer. I do not mind when the others ring. It is mine that dread to hear.
Campus Opinions
Freshman at the University of Ohio are being required to be able to sing or recite at four Ohio State Song and football game.
Let's go back to the old custom, and make it possible that conversation hour once a week become a gathering place for every student in K. U.
Before we can do this we ought to invite the State Board of Administration to one meeting to show them how badly we need a large hall to hold the "thundering thousand," and to prove to them that we can fill any hall that they are willing to furnish.
Yours for weekly convocations and an adequate place to hold them.
A Student.
At the University of Ohio, ren rates are being reduced on rooms because of the abundance of accommodations lately thrown on the market.

O Ancient Pines
Mute, sombre, knowing not the sunlight's gold.
Growing 'mid icy vapors gray and dull
Pines of the North, ye too are beautiful!
When in my wanderings the Golden Isle
On dreamy mountains vast-pines of the night,
Gave me a place of refuge on he shore
To dream my dreams, there too I me the pines—
The pines my heart holds dear for evermore.
O ancient pines, which by the epics wind
Were swayed, of which the glowing sun was fain!
Their arms acolian by the winds are stirred.
O lyric pine trees of the Renaissance,
And of the gardens in the land of
Spain!
Tossed by the gusts that wake there as they roam.
-Ruben Dario.

Sounds of the water and the ocean
the Law of Economy in Writin
bounds of the water and the ocean foam
The Law of Economy in the Younger years may learn something about by careful revision of their own compositions, and by careful dissection of passages selected both from good and bad writers. They have simply to strike out every word, every clause, and every sentence, the removal of which will not carry away any of the constituent elements of the thought. In the revised form, the removed is revised with the unrevised passages, and where the revisions has improved, and where it has injured, the effect. For Economy, although a primal law, is not the only law of Style. It is subject to various limitations from the pressure of other rules; and thus the removal of a trifle of words or sentences would cause unease economy if that entails a dissonance, or prevents a climax, or robs the expression of its ease and variety. Perhaps the very redundancy which he loses away might have aided the reader to see the message more clearly, because it would have kept the thought a little longer before his mind, so that it could be turned on to the next while this one was imperfectly conceived.

As a general rule, redundancy is injurious; and the reason of the rule will enable us to discriminate when redundancy is injurious and when beneficial. It is injurious when it amplifies the rapid movement of the reader's mind, diverting his attention to some collateral detail. But redundancy influences is such as only to detain the mind longer on the thought, and thus to secure the fuller effect of the thought. For rapid reading is often imperfect reading. The mind is satisfied with a gimpa of that which it ought to be steadily contemplated; and any artifact by which the thought can be kept long enough before the mind, may indeed be a redundancy as regards the meaning, but is an economy of perplexity. The clause which we might be tempted to top away because it threw no light upon the proposition, would be retained by a skilful writer because it added power. You will divert the attention, or simply retract it? The former is always a loss of power; the latter is sometimes a gain of power; the latter consists in rejecting all redundancies that do not含递力 to it, also adds restraint. The labor of expanding a tense sentence to its full meaning is often greater than the labor of picking out the meaning. Tactius is more tiresome than Cicero. The reader's pleasure must not be forgotten; and he cannot be pleased by it. Redundancy does not flow. A harsh, abrupt, and dislaced manner irritates and perplexes him by its sudden jitters. It is easier to write short sentences than to read them. An easy, fluent and harmonious phrase steals unobtrusively upon the mind, and allows the thought to expand quietly like an opening flower. But the very suasiveness of harmonious writing needs to be varied lest it be dreadful. In many dogs, the sharp, short, sentences which are indolent when abundant, when used parliingly act like a trumpet-call to be drooping attention. — George Henry Lewis, in Christian Science monitor.

You can't be extravagant if you buy here
YOUNG MEN are apt to forget about economy in buying clothes; they want style, snap. "go" and let the economy take care of itself. In
clothes, the economy does take care of itself. That's the great point for these clothes. They have the style you want; but you get all-wool fabrics, fine tailoring, correct fit, the things that make clothes serve well.
