The Daily Kansaai aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go farther than merely printing the news on paper; to create ideas that the university holds; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to others; to learn about best of its ability the students of the University.

ASPHYXIATION
Last Wednesday morning a psycho-
logy class of more than a hundred
was given a stereotype talk in a
lecture room is the basement of
the east wing of the Administration
building. Every window in the crowded
room was closed, and the ventilation
refused to work at all. The room was
stifling hot, and before the end of
the hour the students were fanning themselfs in an attempt to cool off.
And this is not the only case. In a large number of the crowded classroom in Fraser and Administration buildings—to give the most fargent buildings—no attention is paid by the instructors to the ventilation. With the heat turned on full blast, windows nearly, or altogether closed, the air becomes stiffing long before the end of the hour. A crowded classroom without ventilation is more dangerous to the public health than a dozen picture shows or dances, nearly all of which are well ventilated.
A few moments attention to ventilation each hour would prevent the condition entirely. Here common sense in the matter of ventilation, an consultation with the thermometers in each room would remedy the ventilation to a point where students would sit through fifty minutes of class in comfort. The students are still wearing enough of their winter clothes to be able to endure a little cold without inconvenience and would not run any great risk at exposure.
In the fact of the present influenza ban on all amusements, when prohibition of dances, social functions, and athletic events have been added to the ordinary precautions, this condition is ill-advised to say the reat.
TURKS AND BIRD-SONG
That the blood-thirsty Turk is not as bloody as his reputation among Christian nations paints him, is revealed by London bison dispatch from Constantinople recently. Birds, it seems, are one creation of life that the Turk does not wreak his butchery up.
The Mohammadur religion, universal among the Turks, forbids them killing any animal, and the Turkish love of the feathered creatures seems to be the same that has animated civilized bird-lovers the world over. Think of connecting the savage Turk with people like Audobon, Olive Thorne Miller and St. Francis of Assisi!
A great many people maintain drinking fountains for the birds. An old tin pan or broken crock in a poverty-strenched yard, or an artisanal bowl of stone or marble in the grounds of the rich perform the same service. But the Turk goes a little farther. The stone that marks his grave is hollowed out to catch the sweet rain for the thirsty birds, thus providing for them after his death. Doubles the little wild things lift their heads in songs of praise for the heath under the stone.
Man is the animal who bundles within himself a thousand contradictions, and there are so many things we do not see or hear. This stray bit of light on the character of the Turk cannot compensate for his unappealable atrocities, even when coupled with the expression of other higher instincts. But it can help us to look for the beauty that may be hidden in all sorts of human ugliness, it can tune the ear to the great harmonies of our strange human nature.
KEEP UP
University students have many times been criticized as ultra-academic, and prone to deceive too much into the theoretical side of the various things in which they are interested. This used to be a substantial charge, and truthful, of the college students of the days of Greek-meritorizing, but now, with every subject taught in our institution classified under a professional school or training major, this accusation can no longer be justly made against K.U.
But more practicability leaves much to be desired. No matter if a man is able to run a transit around a railroad track in recurrent time, he is not entirely successful, efficient, broad-minded, or "educated" if he cannot intelligently discuss President Wilson's stand on the Jugoslav-Flume controversy. The modern man, to make a success out of life must keep in touch with modern questions, must realize that economics and exchange are the things that cause wars, and even though he be a Latin professor, what candidates are likely to be offered nominations for president.
To this end, then, the student of today must keep himself informed on the vital questions of the day by intelligent reading of the newspapers and the best journals. Things like market reports, while not so interesting as the sport and society pages, are much more full of information. For instance, some students last week, didn't see why the British pound selling for $3.20 should get front page stories in the newspapers. But that is probably an extreme case.
The heart of the nations is thumping away under the dry long stories on the League of Nations and the market reports. Attention and time spent with reliable newspapers and magazines will prove fully as valuable later on in life as the economic and engineering text-books.
THE GLAD HAND
A great honor has been bestowed the University in the recent decision which locates the Institute of the Southwestern Division of the Red Cross at the University, K. U. was selected as the best place in the Middle West for such an institute. Prof. F. W. Blackmar, dean of the Graduate School and head of the department of sociology, has been appointed director of the Institute which is in session from March 15 to April 24.
This six-weeks session of Red Cross workers and persons interested in welfare work will bring in large numbers of persons from Kansas and surrounding states. A golden opportunity is presented to the students and faculty of the University to extend the land of hospitality to the visiting students. An increased reputation in the eyes of the small localities of the state will result from a cordial treatment of the visitors. K. U. can point out the opportunities for learning and research work which are open to outsiders as well as the regularly enrolled students.
The treatment which the members of the Institute receive from the University will go far in determining the record of K. U. as a hospitable institution.
IN TEXAS
Four hundred students were sent home from the University of Texas at the end of the first semester. This is a startling fact when you consider that only eighty-six students at the University of Kansas are on probation for this semester on account of failure in a third of their work of the previous term.
The questions naturally arise. "Are

I, therefore, who have frequently been told by wise men that I am a fool, hereby cheerfully acknowledge the fact. Yet in a world of sages I find myself so much alone that I am sure the wise men will padmoron me if I seek in the one way I can think of an insultary ignorant of a few others, as insultant as myself.
I shall make the necessary arrangements to have this explanation of my dilemma published, and if there seems to be any interest in my proposal, I shall then announce a place and time of meeting. If not, then I shall have
to live out the rest of my days in solitude, as the only ignorant man in Kansas who has acknowledged the fact.
I must warn any ignorant ones interested in the great peril of joining with me in any public acknowledgment of our lack of knowledge. We shall be hooted at and derided by the ignorance of us. After meeting our real identity, that of "fools." May I not, then, suggest this as a new method of putting K. U. First?

The administration apparently takes it for granted that students attending college are there for the sole purpose of obtaining an education. When they fall in classes, on account of too much attention to the social arts, they are requested by the authorities to leave the institution. In spite of, or perhaps because of these rules there are 3,440 students enrolled.
courses at Texas harder, are the faculty members more exacting, or are the students there incapable of college work?" The failures are due to none of these reasons, but to the fact that there is no date rule at the Texas school.
On Other Hills
Hardicr was praised as the feature which made a recent dance at Coe College one of the most popular dances ever held there.
The Collegiate World is the name of a new monthly publication started at Indianapolis.
Five girls majoring in the domestic economy department of the University of Oklahoma are maintaining a house under the instruction of an artistic domestic art. They get three hours credit for keeping their own house.
The first number of the "Wyoming Quill," a. literary magazine at the University of Wyoming, is to be issued the latter part of this week.
High school academic and athletic contests will be the features of the third annual High School Week at the University of Wisconsin, March 22 to 27. Prizes will be given the winners of contests in declamation, essay-writing, impromptu speaking, and piano playing, among the best three teams in a basketball tournament to be held during the week.
SAINT PAUL AND WOMANKIND
Eighteen instructors at the University of Missouri held a meeting to endorse Herbert Hoover as a candidate for president.
The "itin" at the University of Colorado has subsided sufficiently to allow the resumption of class work.
Students at Ohio State University are planning the publication of a new literary magazine.
At Colorado College in Colorado Springs the dreary life enforced by the flub ban has been lightened by the S. A. T. C. Dormitory Girls hold mock drill, court martial and military weddings.
How many other college women would "follow suit" as the following story from the Bethany Messenger indicates?:
Bethany has a good following at the Sallina-Bethany game. By the way—WE DO have some real, up-to-date, honest-to-good sports among the Bethany fairer sex. Think of it, last night might be the cold, etc. eight pigs. We took a cap and made the trip to Sallina and back and while up there in the gym they let it be known that Bethany was on the map.

Senator Wadsworth, once an unreincarbonable on the subject of suffrage, has withdrawn his opposition; the thirty-first state has ratified the Nineteenth Amendment; Democrats and Republicans are both beginning to claim the credit for having achieved political equality for women against the same male equals. England equal suffrage is already written into the statutes, and both in England and America women have taken a place in industry which is in itself a recognition that they are neither mentally nor spiritually inferior. In fact, the ancient superstition of woman's incompetence save as a dutiful slave is dissipating so rapidly under scrutiny. A sociologist shock that some enlightenment still pliably and prayerfully take Saint Paul's word for it.
Yet the ecclesiastical parliament of the Church of England, now in convolution at Catterbury, has rejected a resolution allowing women to occupy the pulpit. Led by the Dean of Catterbury, the conservative government proposal by adding an amendment which provided that "in view of the statements of St. Paul on the subject and of uniform practices of the church in the past, it was undesirable" that women should appear in the ministerial capacity. The thirty-fifth and thirty-fifth of the First Lord of the Corinthian is explicit enough on this point, in all conscience;
Let your women keep silence in the churches, for it is not permitted unto them to speak; to be under obedience, as also saith the
And if they will learn anything let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
Mental Lapses
It was this same Saint Paul who, when in Rome, did as the Romans did. Like as not had he lived in the twentieth century he would have done as the twentieth century does. We honor women now more than was the norm in this day of the 19th century we discovered that all manner of disabilities were acquired by them to flatter men and to fit with what men thought of them. As a subjugated class they were compelled to forget potentialities. They exalted the stronger sex by appearing weaker than they were. Saint Paul is not an anachronist but a modernist, moderns are concerned, and won't be till he comes back and looks the situation over again. The New York Globe.

Which country paper is rendering the largest service to its community? The department of agricultural journalism at Ames is looking for the answer to that question. A silver trophy will be given to the winner of the contest by the Ames chapter of Sigma Delta Chi, honorary journalistic fraternity.
At a recent dance given by the Scarlet Mask organization at Ohio State University the dances were censored by the local censor. The censor's statements are unjust, according to the Dean of Women and W. Y. C. A. secretary. At a women's mass meeting it was voted to improve the condition that exists among the minority of the students.
