Phonics.
The kindly Kannan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kannan; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for it, she does the Uni to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems behind; and to best of its ability the students of the University.
MONDAY. APRIL 19, 1920.
LATCH STRING OUT
Another opportunity for hospitality toward high school students will come May 1, when the annual state high school track meet will be held on Mcook Field. Each year hundreds of high school students form over the state journey to Lawrence to participate in this meet which is to decide the track championship of the high schools of Kansas.
As in the case of the basket ball tournament, the students of the University will be called upon to help entertain the visitors during their short stay here. Many of them are prospective college students, and the treatment they receive here will have much to do with their decision regarding the school they will choose to attend after they have finished their high school education.
A little extra effort spent toward making them feel at home while in Lawrence may influence them toward the University of Kansas. A little time spent with them on the campus, showing them the many attractions, explaining the curriculum, and giving them a comprehensive outline of college life at the University, may help some high school senior to decide in our favor.
The high school senior has heard much about the democracy of the students at the University of Kansas. A good way to impress him will be to show him that it is not a fallacy.
CLEARING HOUSE FOR DATES
The reason for the great number of conflicting dates, which have been criticized recently, is due in part to the fact that the different organizations ignore each others' dates.
If an organization goes to the instructor in charge of the University Calendar and finds that it is possible to hold the desired meeting in a University building, it goes ahead and schedules the meeting for the dates most convenient to itself. Little regard is paid to the other events scheduled for that time as long as the desired building is not occupied. Possibly the organization is not desirabe of holding its meeting in opposition to some other event but it seemingly prefers to do this than change plans.
The main defect in the present calendar system seems to be the fact that the only meetings which have to be recorded are the ones which require the use of the University buildings. There is nothing to prevent as many events taking place at the same time as there are buildings to accommodate them. The only purpose which the calendar really serves then, is to keep two meetings from being scheduled for the same place. And there is no
unit to the number of events scheduled off the campus.
What the University really needs is a clearing house for dates. It should consist of a committee or a single authorized person to distribute events proportionally throughout the school year and to prevent conflicts by refusing to allow more than one important meeting at the same time. Applications for dates would have to be made early, but in the long run, this disadvantage would be offset by the better chance of success for each individual event.
BETTER THAN PRISON WALLS
There is a duty which the people of America today cannot shirk, a duty that fought out at Bunker Hill and Gettysburg, a duty that, unless things are changed soon, may have to be fought out again. That is our duty toward the immigrant in teaching him the real meaning of democracy.
Bolshievks, Socialists, and all the other cults and lams menacing the country today, find the majority of their adherents among the crowded settlements of the cities, especially in factory districts. And they spend time and money educating these people to believe as they believe. This country never will be able to suppress this momenace by unjust trials, wholesale deportations, and prison walls. Education must be the weapon by which the St. George of law and order will slay the Dragon of unrest.
The Spartacans in the recent uprising in Germany conducted schools for their adherents. This country must teach immigrants what the United States stands for, what the declaration of independence means, what the advantages of personal 'reedom are.
Do you threaten, punish and maltrade a child for his offences? No, at least not until you have fully explained the why and wherefore of the offense and the effects of it. Why then should people ignorant of our institutions and of our code of laws and traditions be expected to uphold them? Give these people of foreign lands a chance, teach them that the Goddess of Liberty is more than a beautiful statue. Give then a chance to prove themselves.
A BITTER PILL
When the armistice was signed in 1918 the German people rejoiced because there had been battles fought on German soil. They boasted of the fact that no shots had been heard in the Vaterland, expect a few in Belgium before the advance carried the armies of the Kaiser away from the border. Today, however, the Germans are feeling a little of the results of having battles fought close at hand.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
A singular fact about the German internal troubles is that much of it is taking place at Essen, a place regarded as almost holy by the German people. The Krupp gun works are located at Essen. These works furnished the Germans with a large percentage of the guns used against the allies. They were one of the biggest factors in making it possible for Germany to carry on its war of destruction. Thousands of persons have been employed by the Krups, who were looked upon almost as royalty.
In the battle of Essen between the Ebert government and the rebels one hundred thousand men were engaged on both sides. The rebels captured the place at the cost of three hundred men. The number is small compared to the deaths caused by the instruments of warfare made in the city and used against the allies, but it drove home to the Germans what real warfare is. It has educated the German people in a cruel way, but it has taught them something that could not have been taught in any other manner. If they would only carry their work a far step further and destroy gun factories the whole world could afford to rejoice.
The fraternities of Columbia University are considering a new method of conducting the annual baseball series. It has been suggested that several leagues be formed, thus giving the university its stride instead of being eliminate by a defeat incurred in the first contest engaged in."
Campus Opinion
Answering "M. S." Editor Daily Kyean;
Editor Daily Kansan:
I was interested in the communication in the Daily Kansas Friday in regard to the raise in the registration and enrollment fees that are to go into effect next fall. I was surprised at the attitude of M. S. in believing that this increase of a few dollars will keep any student from going away to college. Even if they do have to work their way through school, what is a ten or fifteen dollar increase that it takes to parcel the needs that it takes to work in education? No one wants a college education badly enough to work four years to receive it, will back out because of this increase in fees. Furthermore, the student fees as increased, are still less than at a majority of state universities.
More Money Than Brains
ANSWER:
As if the rumors we hear are correct, it is widely rumored about the Hill that the extra money which will be obtained next year through the increase in fees, is to go towards hiring a dean of men, for the increased salary of a new chairmaster, for historic professors, and so forth, and not for raising the salaries of present professors as it was intended that is should. If this is true, it appears to be a sad case of misappropriation of funds. The professors on the Hill that were interested in boosting the salaries of the K. U. instructors drew up a bill asking that fee be raised and that this extra money be applied on increased wages. They went through the University Assembly, and was sent to the Board of Administration where it was revised and returned to the committee here. It was accepted by the Assembly and now that the whole matter has gone through because of the earnest efforts of the men who started the agitation, the entire motive seems to have gone astray from its original purpose. And because from so bad a K. U. proofs that we want so badly to keep, they are constantly being tempted by other universities, are no better off than they were before.

Ye Good Old Days
THE HEADGEAR BATTLE OF 1901
The "Hat War" of 1901 between the Junior and Senior classes is an interesting example of the class spirit that existed in those days. The senior men of each class hats with blue bands as a class symbol, to which the juniors objected strenuously. The black robes and mortar boards which the seniors were accustomed to wear during the spring were the only legitimate symbols of their class, they said, and finally resolutions were published stating the grey hats were subject to con-

which the juniors bound themselves to rescind their resolutions, agreed
not to molest the seniors in the wear-
ing of class hats or of his Chanels.
Chanely all hats and bands they had taken. The seniors promised to abandon their plans of retaliation.
At a senior class meeting, the decision was made to go on wearing the hats. The juniors persisted in their efforts to rob the seniors of their glory, and feeling grew. Finally the classes were at open warfare. The two class presidents met and decided on a decisive contest, but on the day selected, the juniors backed out. At midnight, the groups commanding every approach to the hill that morning and seized the hats of the seniors as they came past.
Every little while some incident is reported which shows that it is still possible to have more money than bruns. Among the latest of these horrible examples is the story of a woman who gave a drill to the blaze of Nassau City. Her brunette niece. She was well dressed, which is no safe criterion in those days, and she entered a famous jewel dispensary, where she asked to see, and was shown, many necklaces or fabulous value. At last she decided on purchase, and she purchased each priced at $50,000. At this point the salesman prepares to take up the delicate matter of financial rating and credit, but she did not give him time to say his little say. Opening her handbag, she is surprised that, in the vulgar phrase, would choke a cow. From this she peeled off twenty $5,000 bills, paid for her purchase in cash, and went away.

An editorial in the Columbia Spectator argues that great benefits are to be obtained from the midnight sessions in friends' rooms, when "the air is filled with the atmosphere of philosophy and blue tobacco that mannequins man without the desiring mask of manner and custom."

It is as ridiculous for men to desire and struggle for equality in limousines, libraries and Corovis as to demand equality in the length of noses, color of hair or avoid dupois. Man is equal neither in his features or form nor in his appreciation of art, science or even animal comfort.
Equality For All
There is one equality and one equality only due to every human being—that is an equality of opportunity. Equality of opportunity to secure which each individual must achieve because others have it. This distinction is one which is missed by many on both sides of the senseless struggle between capital and labor. Dr. Johnson once remarked: "It is better that some people be happy, but others should be happy, which would be the case in a general equality." This
