The Daily Kansas aim to stimulate the interest of the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of the United States, to be cheerful to be clean; to be cheerful to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to whiteroads, in all, to serve to the students of the University.

ADVERTISING BY ATHLETICS
When K. U. begins playing the first game of each season with the winner of the previous year's state conference, it will mean the beginning of a new interest in University sports among the smaller schools of the state. What the basketball tournament and invitation track meet does in advertising the University among the high schools, the annual season opener will do among Kansas colleges. The action of the Athletic Board taken on the recommendation of Director Allen, in deciding to begin this policy in 1921, is a worthy step.
The season opener is usually looked upon as a more practise skirmish, but if it is with a team of tested caliber, interest in the gridron sport will begin earlier in the year among the student body. A larger attendance may be expected if the first game is with a team known to have a punch rather than with the one that was fortunate enough to speak first for the date.
The Emporia Normals have the first call this year, but interest would be much greater were the University to tangle with the College of Emporia, state champions, in the opening game. The College of Emporia endeavored to match the game, but the schedule had been made. Director Allen recommended to the Athletic Board that the team's first opponents be determined by the results of the previous Conference season, and this policy was adopted.
Conference teams, it is believed, will be glad to get a game with the University on their schedules, with an attendant publicity and the prospect of a good trip. Schools even so far away as Cooper College, at Starling, should not be adverse to come here to open the season.

CAN YOU TALK?
Miss Anna Case, a very successful singer who is especially noted for the great beauty of her enunciation has given a fine personal word or "Singing the Words."
No matter how much one may enjoy the melody which the most finished singer may give us, if we do not get the words of his song he falls by so much to “get” us, and both parties experience a decided loss. Miss Case presents this very simple receipt for perfect enunciation. Attack the word clearly and decisively.
however softly it is to be sung, and finish the voice with equal care. Faulty enunciation comes most frequently from dropping the voice at the end of the word or the sentence as if you had lost interest in what you meant to express. A very ordinary singing voice will give much pleasure if you can only understand the words, for in that case there is essential sympathy and feeling. You get the thing that insured the creation of the music.
These very patent principles apply to the speaking voice. Give the matter your attention during one classroom period or social hour. Careless speech is the rule. Question and response make their silently way back and forth in the most astonishing manner. Pitch and tone, color and quality, would follow as naturally as breathing if the breath were properly taken and any sort of intelligent thought were given to really accurate and expressive utterance. A very large per cent of human speech is irregulably lost because we are not taught how to talk in the home and the school, and even when we realize our failure to "get across" we do not try to overcome the difficulty.
Miss Case advises singers to use the right sort of records in forming better habits. Clear, precise, understandable and beautiful speech can be easily cultivated in many ways. The main thing is to "highly resolve" that the thing shall be done, and then keep everlastingly at it.
Gregory Weinstein, a friend of Trotsky will probably be trotted back to Russia. Our government has found that he led hundreds of Russian emigrants in refusing to answer essential questions at Ella Island.
WHY IS A SNOB?
Would Ex-President Taft send his son to the University? Mr. Taft once said he would consider his son's first year at college a success if at the end of the year he could call one hundred men by their first names.
Evidently Mr. Taft does not feel that his son is any better than the average college student. To know more than one hundred men by their first names means that one must associate with more students than there are in any one class or organization. It means a democracy of acquain tanceship.
It would be interesting to know what Mr. Taft would say to the University snobs who are unable to find one hundred men at Kansas who are their equals and therefore not their acquaintances. Perhaps Mr. Taft had better not送他 son to Kansas for fear he also will become a member of the University snobbery.
Vernon E. Bates of Manhattan, KS, has received a photograph of the soldier's grave he is supposed to occupy over in France. Better be reported dead when you are alive than to try and look alive when you are really lead.
ROAD BONDS
Douglas County has voted bonds to the amount of $300,000 for the completion of its portion of the Fort-Toft highway, and this, together with government aid, is expected to give the county a first-class road in a short time. The road will enter Lawrence at about Seventh Street, and surveying is already going on in preparation for the actual work.
Wih the completion of the new stadium, the new highway should greatly increase the attendance at football games. These games show the University at its beat, and the more visitors, the better the impression.
Such a highway cannot be other than of benefit to the University. By affording better facilities for tourists between Kansas City and Topeka, it would cause K. U. to have more visitors, and anything which increases favorable public interest in the University is directly to its advantage. The road will help the prosperity of Lawrence, and the future of the University is closely bound up with that of the town.
If you ask the average boarder at any one of the hash-houses, for whom he will vote for president, he will answer. "Hoover, we've gone wrong." That might say that any radical change would make us die from over-eating."
Good Old Days
"Library dates," despite their popularity, aren't what they used to be. Did you ever notice the rods across the tops of the alcoves on the lower floor of Spooner? Those were once for a purpose other than ornamental, and that purpose was curtains—thick, heavy, pillow curtains. In fact, I know about privacy with the body of his library date, the student must go to a hill restaurant and spend his time in devouring food rather than in search of knowledge.
The alcoves were one of the most popular parts of the library in those ancient days. The curtains which secured privacy for the scholars of a previous generation and helped along the romances of twenty years ago, were heavy ones, blue on the outside, yellow on the inside. Yellow in those days, for it was long before the time of the crimson and the blue. The yellow represented the Kansas corriffields, the blue the Kansas sky.
But the quiet sanctity of these curtained altaves gave way with the arrival of Aunt Carrie Watson as guardian spirit of Spooner. The blue and yellow plush was taken down, leaving only the bare brass poles as reminders of what had been built by her. She then opened the closed cars and the moonlight dances of this modern day obeitate the necessity for such artworks at the library?
Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan;
There is a menace at K. U. school as is serious as the Red Horses in Russia. It threatens the very vitality of the school, insidiously grazing at the heart of the University and which if not chosen, would have severely affected the usefulness of the University of Kansas, not only to the state but to society as well.
Within the last few years there has grown up here a worship of the status quo. The students have become either static or retrogressive. We've become a lot of standpartners not only in politics but in social thought and ties as well. The average student is either conservative in his thoughts or does no think at all. All any change in the present social order appears within or without it becomes deeply objected to him because its spell efforts and reasoning—two of the most difficult things for so many, otherwise normal, people to do.
Do not misunderstand me to be upholding extreme radicalism, though that is far less dangerous than extreme conservatism. But I do contend that if the women who are developed in colleges who are not afraid to disagree with the majority—leaders who are able to think for themselves, unbound by the conventions of society, Radicalism is a thing to be shunted. Look at all the women who are radicals? Of our own national heroes, one could hardly class Washington, Jefferson and Lincoln as conservative. Mr. Bryan has always been a radical and thus kept ahead of his time, as history has amply proved. Without radical, illiberal ideology we were never persecuted. We perish just as Rome did.
Here in the University, we have a few members of the faculty who try to promote liberal thought in their classes, but to what end? Outside the classroom, we find that our gobly fall in line with the liberalism of their teachers, the most conservative of the conservative. We have no discussion clubs, no organization whose sole purpose it is to encourage liberal thought, although there is an ample supply of organizations that do not support that we students are not interested in anything outside our trivial social affairs? When Mr. Jones of "Caps and
NO PASSION PLAY THIS YEAR
The world famous Obermayeramgon Passion Play will not be presented this year, according to news from the Bavarian village. Confirmation of this report is contained in a letter from Mrs. Anton Lang, wife of the German director of the Literary Digest's subscriber's and printed in that Magazine, Mrs. Lang writes, in part.
Bella" suggested an organization of liberal thinkers, no one apparently showed any interest. Is it possible that students find it requires too much exertion to think? I should like to know what other students think upon this subject and so I appeal to the readers of the Kansas.

"We have gone through terrible, sorrowful and trying years; we learned to know much what hunger is like; we almost lived with the animals; a winter only with turnips we shall never forget." The year 1920 is to be the year of our beloved Passion Play, but it will be impossible to have it to us, as we scarcely have food. We would also need we feed so many outsiders? Besides our railways, engines and cattle are taken from us. We have no coal, no cloth. You have no idea how terrily noor we have become.' * * *

"We have six children now. The baby is only 8 months old. The three older ones are away at schools and we can't be here for work war. He was too delicate. The American papers brought many rumors about him. Thank God, they were not true! We had seventy-four crickets and have many crickets here also."
803 Mass
The Continent, a Chicago publication, states that it has heard from Obermermagus, over the signature of Anton Lang himself, that "the year 1920 will go by without any observance of Obermermagus' annotations. In the last year of every decade for seven hundred years, except for interruption during the Thirty Year's War, in the sixteenth century. It is indicated in Lang's letter, however, that the Obermermagus people hope they may produce the play in 1921, and so avoid being beloved for the present decade to the ancient succession.

WOW!
Our idea was to encourage a lot of young literary idealists by printing their immature but earnest compositions in a great national magazine.
The cover design is a fair sample of how unsophisticated are these modern students.
"Bosom Friends"
Unasphetisch—bell! They're unprincipled young devils. Absolutely no restraint. They ought to be suppressed—not encouraged.
And gosh! The way they talk about girls.
And drink. Why you would think prohibition had driven all the joy out of their lives —tweens the edge out of college, they were so excited, we thought up a joke all ourselves.
They kiss a girl with about as much reserve as you would pick uping a fat lady's bundle in a street car.
There's something about this wit of young people that gives them joyness. The wrinkles, the splashes—some of them, untramanned, devilish joylessness that older men feel when they slip off their jeans.
On a recent church bulletin the pastor's theme for the following Sunday, "What is the Worst Thing in the World?" was announced in large type, and following in much the same type, "Singing by Our Quartet Morning and Evening."—The Vermont Advance.
We can describe it—but nothing just like this issue of JUDGE was ever published before. In its way, it's a masterpiece.
We've caught on the wing the essence of that glorious, elusive something that was meant to be lost. The golden hour on the campus — for the free true-hearted man — the days when you got together were a claim that was happy, the wit that didn't sting, the oath that didn't curse, the truth that didn't curse.
Sav. but the kids are clever.

NINE cases out of ten, the man who once smokes a WDC Pipe becomes a life member of the WDC club. He can't help it, because a WDC is certainly a man's size smoke. It's as sweet and mellow as carefully selected French briar and expert seasoning can make it. Not only material of the first water, but craftsmanship of the highest order, and designs that are most pleasing—all combine to make the WDC Pipe a smoke of peace, contentment and satisfaction. A man's smoke. Any good dealer will confirm this.
