The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the university than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University upholds. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be wiser leaders; in all, to serve the students of the university.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1920.
AND WE MISSED IT
Through sheer neglect of their own interests, students of the University were deprived of a one-day furlough last week. The holiday hounds, whose duty it is to watch the calendar for the slightest excuse for the dismissal of classes, weren't attending to business, or else they thought the flu ban was a sufficient rest for students weary of social life. At any rate, K. U. went to school all last week when it might as well have had a day off.
The bet that was overlooked appears on page 4 of the catalog, under the heading, "University Calendar, Academic Year 1919-20". It is a single line, reading:
"Feb. 22, Friday, Washington's birthday—legal holiday."
As it happened, February 22 came on Sunday, but had the fact that this line appeared in the catalog been Sentiment in the matter would have presented plenty of arguments that the intent was all that was necessary. And even without an official holiday, the Law School would have probably been a minus quantity Friday morning, which is a little way it has.
Sentiment in the matter would have been very easy to arouse, and the recent dictum from the Chancellor's office, that what the catalog says is always right, would have become one of the stock arguments.
And it was the last legal holiday of the year, except the "Easter Rescue." Memorial Day comes on Sunday, too but the frameries of the calendar neglected to specify the Friday before as "time out."
The self appointed guardians of the holiday deserve a severe vote of censure, and should not be let off so lightly unless they promise to do better in the future.
COMPANY MANNERS
Forty-eight high school students from Winchester visited the University of Kansas recently—or they tried to and failed! They came as far as the campus—and they saw the campus. They wandered into Dyche Museum and saw the stuffed bird and animal exhibit, and a few of the war relics—but beyond the sound of their own questioning, nothing was heard. There was no one there to explain this valuable collection. So much the worse for the University. Winchester probably was not impressed by the collection.
The forty-eight eager-eyed, slightly disappointed students found their own way, by dint of much questioning, to the rug exhibit in the Administration Building. There they
received the only information given them while on the campus. However, if the owner of the rugs had known about the visit, a display of art trees in the Thayer collection, not on exhibition, could have been arranged.
Worst of all is the fact that three days before the students came to the University, a telephone message was received announcing their coming—and nothing was done about it! Nobody had any authority to do anything—so the matter rested.
Facts obtained from the registrar's office show that this particular matter has been resting for fifteen years.
Fifteen year ago the services of a guide at the University were discontinued because of the lack of funds. A good reason surely—but it's a short-sighted policy, nevertheless, that doesn't find some way to display educational wares to interested people. "Pinched economy" is a poor policy for the state as well as for the business man.
The suggestion has been made—and a very good suggestion it is—that an ex-service man be employed as guide to visitors who come to the University. Let it be said by outsiders that the University of Kansas welcomes visitors. Most assuredly casual acquaintances do not develop into friendships where courtesy is lacking.
The forty-eight student visitors from Winchester wandered from the campus by two and threes. They had spent a long hard day—doing nothing. They caught a brief glimpse of the University y—and nothing more. It is small comfort that none of them knew what they had missed. Probably one might have heard them say, "A lovely time was bad," or words to that effect. They were satisfied, perhaps; but the University was poorly advertised in this case, as it is in almost every case when visitors come.
SUNDAY MORNINGS
In the old days going to church on Sunday was the all-important thing, but with the students in our colleges the day of rest Bounded in the strictest sense—sleeping. Worn out with the week's hard grind and the social activities that come in one bunch on Saturday and Friday, the student takes his Sunday morning in bed.
However, there are few students who do believe in getting up in time to attend church and they have found that the day is much pleasant and more enjoyable than if they had stayed in bed. The brisk morning walk, the sweet music of the organ and the homely message of the sermon gives one a new hitch on life, and the restfulness of an hour of worship has as many benefits as the Sunday morning spent in bed.
SELF DEFENSE
The announcement of the boxing and wrestling tournament by the R. O. T. C brings back a sport to the University that should not be passed up lightly. The art of self defense has been much neglected in our schools and colleges, and many men in our armies felt the lack of training. The military authorities did everything in their power to promote boxing and wrestling in the training camps to develop the men physically. Boxing and wrestling, because of the many framed bouts and the betting have not had a good name, but with the promotion of the sports in the colleges throughout the country, they should become as popular as any other sport. Students at the University of Kansas will back the R. O. T. C in the boxing and wrestling contests that it may be put on for exhibition.
A certain senator, deploying the dishonest methods of one type of business man, once said, with a smile: "It all brings back to me a dialog I once heard in a Southern school. 'Children', said the teacher, 'be diligent and steadfast, and you will succeed. Take the case of George Washington when he was soon to celebrate. Do you remember my telling you of the great differencetory George Washington had to contend with? 'Yes, 'me', said a little boy. 'He couldn't tell a lie'."—San Francisco Argonaut.
A permanent Athletic Association was formed in 1889.

The 1920 class of the Oread Training School will follow in the steps of the following:
1. The individual pictures in the 1920 Jayhawk.
At least one page will be devoted to the pictures.
"We want the people of Kansas to know that we are on the map," said President Harris, "and by having pictures of representative seniors in our class, we can alsolish this purpose. There are fifty-five students in the senior class, and we should have fifty-five pictures in the Jahawkher, but if only two are turned in these will have to serve representatives of the Senior class.
FIRST THINGS FIRST
The privilege of higher education is not one that can be trifled with and in view of the appalling program of dances and social functions which confronts the would-be student today it behoves us to consider our responsibility to maintain a same balance between social enjoyment and the more academic pursuits of college life. The natural reaction from the depression of the war period, tends to exaggerate our claim to frivolous dissipation, and in spite of the high cost of living which acts as an unwelcome check on our social aspirations many of us are in danger of justifying Siddy Eddys' scathing arrangement of "this taint jazz generation." The importance of the social side of college life cannot be overestimated so long as we do not lose sight of the fact that the University does not excite merely as a great recreational center. The students who are able to throw their energies into college organizations and at the same time to help maintain the standard of our honor courses, are most fully appreciating the possibilities of a University career. But to many of us this ideal balance is not a matter of easy attainment. We tend to go to extremes and degenerate either into the studious bookworm or the frivolous butterfly and we fall far short of the happy medium which insure an all-round development.
During the war we took our work more seriously, and making a virtue of necessity, pruded ourselves on our superior indifference to all frivolity. But with the sudden return of normal conditions, we have been swept into the social whirl and with a feeling of equal virtue we insist on our full quota of good times, and even on our right to make up for all those that we claim to have missed. Naturally the University is an ideal place to foster social activities but it is necessary to keep our heads level and to view things in their right perspective if we are to justify our students we have a peculiar responsibility, not only to ourselves but to society at large, and all the social intercourse of college and university, will avail nothing if we fail to develop a capacity for hard work which will enable us to tackle the problems of the world with more than a superficial understanding. So long as we are satisfied merely to scrape allotment of aoup, behind us, we are through our exams trailing the full grassy abusing our privilege and making a force of higher education, making a force of higher education. Assuredly we are entitled to a good time—to hold college dances and similarly functions and to get as much enjoyment out of them as possible—but let us not forget that there are many sides to college life and as students, we are morally bound to discriminate and to put first things out—The Varsity.
A new system of grading which calls for publication of grades at the University of Oregon in all subjects at the end of each term was adopted, by the university faculty recently. As an aid in publicity, all the state papers, will be furnished the grades of all classes at the end of each term.
Commenting on the Daily Kan萨 headline "Monks Turn Bolshevik," the Winfield Oracle asks, has the red fever even spread into the zoo?
A life was saved in Chicago recently by a woman's shoe. But the price of many another woman's shoe has skyrocketed and feels like ginger, up the ghost.
Although the price of cabbage is said to have gone down $5 a ton, there is as yet no sign of the late lamented "wofer."
"Ladies Undergarments—Greatly Reduced!" says a liaiser shop ad And from the accompanying illustrations, "I don't no doubt that the assertion is true."
Thirty-nine inches of snow fell in Jerusalem recently. And they used to refer to Palestine as the "Promised Land"
Say, what does "niively" mean anyway, and why do pretty women in the books smile and talk that way?
H. H. Goddard, sociologist from Ohio University told a meeting of normal presidents recently that seventy percent of the adults have a mentality of ten-year-old children. Mr. Goddard must have conducted his investigations in his classroom in the spring.
Two men attempted to evade the constitutional drought by bringing liquor into the country in New York by means of a "life preserver" that was given to pickled getting pickled on preserve material is too clear for us to pun on.
At the present H. C. L. there won't be many takers when the "clitic of life" is patented by the scientists and placed on the market.
Current newspaper untruths:
"Democrats Harmonious" and "Republicans Harmonious."
The Lawrence clothiers are said to be raising a stink because the newspapers are advocating a "Wear Your Old Clothes" campaign. So ill-natured of them, too, when we were just doing it to enable them to catch up a bit on what we wanted last year.
Another funny headline “Refuses Boo—May Get Medal.” He ought to wheowhe he is, for he deserves it in these days of influenza.
In the several million people in the middle west we never hear of a "Master Mind." But in the aftereffects of his work, I am siphish, every week one of the superhuman "Master Mind" is discovered hiding under a bushel, and running the whole revoltontic system when what a "Master Mind" looks like.
First River Rat—So you're on thuh Hill now, huh?
Second R. R.-Yeh, I'm drivin' an oil wagon.
Memories of the dear, dead past:
"Good show last night, wasn't it?"
"C'mon down town and I'll show you how to play pool."
"Yes, we're giving our formal the latter part of the week."
"Want to go to church with me in the morning?"

CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
Who said the red man wasn't a glutton for punishment?
Wamengo and Riley school basketball teams recently played a game that took considerable score balancing to determine the winners. The team that lost the game follows kept score on a blackboard by the window and when the game was over they had it 29-29. The score keepsers in favor of Riley. The team that won the game teams will play five minutes longer when a return game is played.
The American Legion post has blamed the students. The college boys passed the buck to town "roughnecks." But both the daily papers of Ithaca and The Cornell Daily Sun have absolved the Legion men from any disorder in connection with the recent riot occasioned by the appearance of Fritz Kreisler, violinist, in a university concert at Ithaca, N. Y. The American Legion post of Ithaca was charged with violin playing, the violinist, still technically an enemy alien, to play in Ithaca, but its members took no part in the "direct action" which nearly drove Kreisler from the stage in Bailley Hall.

AMERICA is fast becoming a pipe smoking country. Every year more and more men are realizing the comfort, the satisfaction, and the economy of the pipe. And by natural selection, more and more men are smoking WD C Pipes. This is not chance. It is because WD C Pipes offer the utmost in pipe value. Honest French briar, seasoned by our own special process make WD C Pipes break in sweet and mellow. Coupled with that is a self-governed body of pipe makers whose sole object is to fashion pipes which are without peers in all the world. And it has been accomplished. Ask any good dealer.
