The Daily Kananism aims to picture the undergraduates life of the University of Kansas; to go far beyond academic goals by standing for the ideals the University holds; to play no favorites; to be clear about the importance of being courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University. HOLD YOUR BONDS MONDAY, MAY 17, 1920 It is not so easy a mat'r to set Liberty bonds now as it was before the big drop in the bond market but the bonds are still just as good an investment as they formerly were. The interest rate is fair and it would be impossible to get better security. They are below par and bankers say that they will go farther. This cannot continue for a great length of time however and if the owners of the bonds will lock them up and hold them the drop in their value will soon cease and they will start on the upgrade again. The principle reason for the low value of the bonds at the present time is the reaction from war-time self denial. People sacrificed a great deal during the war and are now over indulging. They are buying indiscriminately and throwing their bonds into the market in order to pay for their luxuries. A GOOD LISTENER. Times will change this condition and the person who puts his bonds away now will find that he has greatly benefitted himself as the dollar returns to its normal value. "A good listener". Such is the phrase that has been bestowed upon many a man—and some women—merely because the person had learned the secret of the closed mouth. The good listener is the person who is willing to sit quietly by and listen to others talk, gleaning from the conversations of his acquaintances whatever knowles there may be to be gleaned, and rejecting the rest. Not that the person who never expresses an opinion comes under that class. The good listener merely refrains from talking when he has nothing to say, so that he may listen to those less wise who babble more or less coherently, after the fashion of a brook. Occasionally—though in cases very rarely—a real grain of knowledge will be buried in the flow of words, and it is by picking up such scraps of learning, instead of trying to drown them out by displaying his own ignorance, that the Listener learns and triumphs. The best reward of the listener is the reputation he invariably grabs among his fellows. When a talker spends an evening with a listener, the former is always of the opinion that he is talking to a very wise person because that person listened to his talk, throwing in only an occasional comment of his own. The listener is apt to regard the other as an enjoyable companion, because he is schooled to enjoy listening. If two listeners or two talkers are put together for an evening, the result is in the one case that both be come bored, and in the other that both become angry. **I** two of the peculiar and rare breed who never talk are matched together, acute embarrassment results. All kinds of people are required to make the world; but it is the good listener, who above all others, enjoys the admiration and esteem of his acquaintances and friends. EFFICIENCY IN PRIMARIES More than 1,000,000 votes have been tabulated by the Literary Digest in their presidential poll. Wood leads the Republicans, with Johnson next and Hoover third. McAdoo has received the greatest number of Democratic votes, with Wilson second and Edwards third. The Digest has sent out eleven millin post card ballots to people through out the country. University directories, Who's Who, and all sorts of printed directories were used as means of obtaining mailing lists. The purpose of the Digest is to poll the Presidential sentiment of the nation. One university professor received five ballots, which means that he will have five votes. Evidently his name was in five different directories, which undoubtedly means that he is a man of many abilities. The legal method in England resembles this method to some extent. All university graduates in that country are permitted two votes. The question is whether or not the Digest's method might not be a good one to take the place of national conventions. If the names are chosen from the directories of educational institutions. Who's Wa, year books and professional directories, the most efficient men of the country would be reached. However, such a method, even though it might be best, is almost impossible, for there is little chance of determining the exact number of votes the president of the steel trust might be allowed in proportion the number permitted the college professor. The whole thing would be determined by the number of times the individual's name was printed in directories. THE SIGNS OF THE TIMES Whether you are superstitious or not, it is a good thing to believe in signs. Still there seems to be a large percentage of university students who do not believe in them, and who refuse to recognize the "Keep off the Grass" signs on the campus. The University of Kansas could have one of the prettiest campuses in the country, if her students would only take a little interest in making it so. The natural view is excellent but the clutter of papers and lack of grass on the campus spoil this view for the visitor. Only the other day a student said "Kansas would have even a prettier campus than Nebraska, if it could be kept clean, and grass allowed to grow." For several years attempts have been made to grow grass on the paths that now cut across the campus in all directions, but no success has awarded these efforts, because students are either to lazy or to careless to walk on the sidewalks. Let's make the University campus an advertising element for the school. Let's keep the grass growing and keep walking on the sidewalks. Every man when he comes to a college or a university should have in his mind the idea that he is there to learn something, which will enable him to be a leader in the outside world. He should affiliate himself with men and institutions that will enable him to become broad-minded. THE MEN'S FORUM The University now is offering the men of Kansas that chance through the medium of the Men's Forum, recently organized on the Hill. The Forum is affiliated with the Rockefeller Institute of International Education. This Institute sends speakers and literature on topics of national and international interest. Members of societies associated with the Institute are kept abreast of the times by having the privilege of hearing the foremost men of this nation and other nations lecture, and by having literature and books placed in their hands on topics of timely interest. Jayhawks Flown LeKoy W. Weatherby, Ph.D., '06, new professor of Chemistry in the University of Southern California has just published a third edition, revised and enlarged. The bulletin is a "Treatise on Modern Processes of Beet Sugar Manufacture for Foremen, Station Operators, Growers, and the Public." In the preface he remarks, "It is hoped that it may be of value also to students of chemistry, agriculture, home economics, and other related B. J. Clawson, A. M.

Norton, of Kansas City Manuall High School, broke the Mississippi State High School record in the high jump with a jump of 6 feet-1.4 inches. Twenty six students of Kansas Twenty Agricultural College were recently elected to membership in Phi Phi, the honorary scholastic fraternity. "What is this spiritualism all about?" A tradition at the University of Pennsylvania is the Annual Straw Hat Day held every spring. On this day all students are expected to appear on the campus with straw hats if they are at all available. Intercollegiate aviation proved entirely feasible from every viewpoint, when the representatives of eleven colleges and universities competed in the first annual Intercollegiate Flying Meet at Mitchell Field. Long Island, Yale took first place for the Williams institution six points, anne and Columbia tied for third position with five points each. The Pennsylvaniaian. Less than 1 per cent of American men are college graduates. Yet this one per cent of college graduates has furnished 55 per cent of our presidents, 75 per cent of congresses, 47 per cent of the speakers of the house, 54 per cent of the vice-presidents, 62 per cent of the secretary of the treasury, 60 per cent of the attorney general, and 69 per cent of the justices of the supreme court—Columbia Spectator. "Remains to be seen."...The Yale Record. A six day period, October 18-23, has been chosen by Ohio State University to launch their campaign for a new stadium. Soliciting teams will be held responsible to visit the students in each district personally. A aquad will be assigned to them with similar experience. By these means, all of the students, a part of the money will be raised, and the rest from alumni and friends. Trate Subscriber "^Confound you stupid editors!
