The Daily Kamaa aims to picture the undergraduate who will go to or get to more than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas the thesis emphasizes; to be oral; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to learn to wiser heads; in all to understand the students of the University.
CHARLES S. GLEED
WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 15, 1920
Kansas has lost another good friend, a graduate of the University of Kansas who was deeply interested in the welfare of his Alma Mater. Charles S. Gleed, lawyer, business man, and leader in state business, died at his home in Topoka, July 26. At his own request, he was buried in Lawrence, his earliest Kansas home. In an editorial, The Topka Daily Capital pays the following tribute to Mr. Gleed;
"Friendship was the outstanding characteristic of Charles S. Gliep, and hundreds will learn with sorrow of his death as a friend. He was one of the leading men of Kansas, with large and important business relations and wide interests, a gifted man who would have distinguished success in journalism, the law or business, in all of which professions he was at one time or another actively engaged and in all of which he was successful. He took an active interest in politics, though never for any ambition of his own. In fact he would have gone far in politics, for which he had every qualification, but he felt physically disabled for it. He was interested in education, was a friend of the University and of Col. John J. reagent. It was in no small part due to his relation as a common friend of the University and of Col. John McCook that the University obtained its fine athletic grounds, McCook field. Mr. Gliep's interest in education was not merely that of a regent or advisor and friend of the University, but without observation or general knowledge he was always aspiring deserving young men to obtain an education. To him perhaps more than to any other man a good many in Kansas owe the fact that they were able to gain a university education. He helped them generously, but in an unobtrusive, quiet way, so that few new of it. He radiated kindness cheerfulness and good will, and thought he had strong and definite views and opinions, which he expressed in a positive way, the friendship of his nature made him tolerant of the opinion of others. Frall of body, his cheerful spirit rose above physical weakness His loss to Topella will be felt as the loss of one of its best loved men."
KANSAN AND STUDENTS
The University Daily Kanan is it the student what the home town paper is to his Dad. In fact it means even more because Dad is acquainted with his home town and the paper simply keeps him in touch with it, but here to the student who is strange, The Daily Kanan is the greatest aid in "getting onto the ropes" and staying there.
The Daily Kansan is written by
group of students, mostly upper classmen who make it their business to find out in clear detail all matters of news interest to University students. This news is written in an unbiased manner. The Kansan is varied in its interests, with purely news material, editorial comment, society, and student opinion.
KANSAS DOWN THE LINE
Don't draw into your shell and depend upon rumors to keep you in touch with your school. Take The Daily Kasnan and be among the informed.
Montana has the best school system in the United States according to the latest investigation. And Montana is one of those states which we of the middle west unconsciously think of as being wild and wooly, yes even woolier perhaps than the Noo Yawkers think we are.
Kansas is not second either but instead is found down the line about twenty-seven. This sting to Kansas, who prides herself on being a noble leader, is alleviated somewhat by the fact that Missouri is almost out of sight on below us and is found way down in the thirties somewhere. Kansas schools need men and women of vision and initiative but instead finds that only seventy five per cent as many people are going out from the institutions of higher learning to teaching positions than is customary. Not only higher salaries are necessary to bring about a change but more earnest support of the schools and respect for its executives.
Who is to blame that school teaching is held in the light that it is today? No one can place the blame in any particular place perhaps, but certain it is that it should be different.
One of the biggest needs of the educational system of Kansas is a little work in the legislature. An efficient system is impossible as long as superintendents are elected instead of hired. This refers to the county superintendents and the state superintendent as well.
To the old-timers returning to Mount Oread, a rebuilt University seems to be receiving larger numbers of total strangers in a new and hearty fashion, nothing remaining of the greetings of yore except the exteriores of the buildings: even the interiors are re-varnished, re-ceilinged, and renovated.
STILL WITH US
A new faculty takes charge of classes this week, under new direction: sixty-seven new members of the teaching staff have been placed on the University payroll; no longer does "Uncle Jimmy" Green issue the clarion call of gridron battle to the molekins-inlad herds of McCook Field; and we hear even talk that the antiquated and motionless hands on the Blake Hall clock are to be quickened to follow the march of Time. "The old order changeh't and new faces, life, and movement are present on Mount Oread.
But the old spirit! Change the buildings, the names, and turn the whole institution upside down, and the spirit would live, old as the view across the valley of the Wakarausa, yet renewed and given new life each year by the infuse of loyal Jayhawkers. The old spirit is here. The loyalty and fineness of character that has made the University the most-discussed, most-feared, and most-enviwed school in the Missouri Valley is present in increased volume and quality. Buried under the multitude of things to do this week, is an unselfish and generous devotion to ama mater that a summer's vacation has only brought to the front.
Frederick was sitting on the curb, crying, when Billy came along and asked him what he matter. "Oh, I feel so bad' cause Major's dead—my old nice Collie," sobbed Frederick.
"Putting K.U. First," is a matter or honor, not of obligation, to the students of the university this year.
"Shueks," said Billy, "My grandmother's been dead a week and you don't catch me crying."
Fredrick gave his eyes and nose a swipe with his hand and, looking up at the camera, he got out an scratch for a living"—Baltimore American.
at Billy, sobbed despairingly:
"Yes, but you didn't raise your grandmother from a pup."—Harper's Magazine.
Mental Lapses
Binks, (coneating out of theater)—"Why did everybody cry during the death scene?" They must have known the actor wasn't dead."
"That antagonist of yours says he is going to leave footprints in the sands of time."
Jinks—"Yes, that was just it."— Michigan Gargoyle.
"He won't," replied Senator Sorghum. "His mind is in the clouds. He is an intellectual aviator. When he flies, you can't see him not a footprint."—Washington Star.
Patient—"I want to see doctor. Be this the place?"
"I am sure the fellow we were talking about has an itching palm."
Raymond—"What the deuce to you mean by telling Jean that I am a fool?"
Doctor—"This is where I practice." Patient—"Don't want no person for to practice on me! I want a doe to cure me," cure me—"The Bulletin (Sydney)."

Rex Beach's Famous Story
"The Silver Horde"
That far flung port of adventure of hair-trigger loves and hates! No man can better picture life in the frozen silences of the Great North than Rex Beach.
"The Silver Horde" is a thundering drama of fighting fists and mighty men. And a thorough story packed with electric thrills runs a golden thread of beautiful romance.
