The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of our students further than merely printing the news by standing for it and playing to play no favorities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to courageous; to be more serious; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to educate the students of the University.

THE BASKETBALL TEAMS
High school students will soon be coming for the annual basketball tournament. Some are coming for the first time, others have been here before. In either case the impression the student receives while here will be carried to many homes over the state.
The student body can assist in making this tournament one of the biggest successes by co-operating with the school officials. Students should begin considering the number of athletes they can take care of. This should be no burden on the part of the students, but a pleasure. The success of this tournament is on the shoulders of the student body. If every man is on his job, nothing could be a better advertisement for the University.
THE ROUGE-BOX: A FABLE
Moral: Unless you are cleverer than the Queen of Sheba, don't try to improve upon nature.
There was once a misguised maiden who came to the University from the place where cities are not. And she desired above all things to be chic. She was as sweet as a June morning and had a complexion like a wild rose petal. But she put on dangling earrings, and purchased a box of rouge and applied the rabbit's foot diligently to her cheek bones. Some people said, "She used to be so pretty. What makes her look so hard and old?" And others said, "That girl would be good looking if she had sense enough to let her face alone."
THE DAY OF THE GIANT
"There were giants in those days," says the writer of Genesis; and apparently he set the fashion. Where is the nation without its myths of its giants who once lived and are now—alas—no more.
Every Greek boy knew how Ajax defied the lightning and wondered vaguely why there were no more Ajaxes; every Roman boy thrilled over the story of Horatius at the bridge and was told by his elders that it couldn't be done any longer in these efted days; the English boy has King Arthur, Richard the Lion Hearted, et al., and thinks he was born too late or at least he did think it before this war began. As for the American lad is he not as well supplied. His list begins with George Washington and the cherry tree, and ends—well—with Lincoln.
But that's the point! Why should it end with Lincoln? Why talk forever of the giants in those days as if there were no giants in these days? To the man who reads his daily newspaper with a seeing eye our giants in these days? To the man who reads his daily newspaper with a see-
jook as big when they are near as they can ever look to our decendents through the magnifying haze of distance.
Read your daily newspaper aright.
Can't you hear your grandson say with a gasp as he scans those histories which we of this age are living,
"There were giants in those days."
THE EMPTY CUP BOXES
We do not wish to appear ungrateful to the University for furnishing us with free drinking cups, but we do wish to make a suggestion in regard to them.
In two of the most important buildings yesterday, Fraser Hall and Spooner Library, these cup boxes were empty. And both at the same time, in the warmest part of the day. They remained empty the rest of the day. Of course it would require a pretty close watch never to let one become empty but reasonable attention, it seems, would prevent a condition like that of yesterday.

WHY HE WAS SINGLE
"Why don't you marry?" asked one Frenchman of another.
"Because I must do it on certain conditions."
"What conditions?"
"Well, you know, the lady must be beautiful, rich and a fool. If she isn't rich and beautiful, I won't take her. If she isn't a fool, she won't take

HEALTH HINT
If you should wear a toupee

Dynamite
He loved his Dinah dearly,
And he sighed to her one night
Dinah could you love me
She whispered Dinah might
They were married in the autumn
When she blows him up at night
He realizes what she said
When she whispered dynamite.
CAMPUS OPINION
For four years I have been at the University of Kansas, and have watched with a growing disappointment and disgust the appalling prevalence of cheating and the lack of honor in the use of notebooks. I have also taken the deliberate cribbing from the paper of one's neighbor in examinations.
Communication must be staged as evidence of good faith, but truth will not be probabilistic.
ON STUDENT HONOR
of the Korean
At first I thought it was practised merely by freshmen who had never developed a sense of honor during their high school course. But as I have gone from class to class, I have gradually awakened to the fact that the freshmen are really minor offences in this honor sentence. In fact, the major offenses have been away with their influences for so short a time that they still adherence to the fundamental virtues of fairness learned from their parents.
One really pites more than despies the freshman who is taught to cheat by some wise, unscrupulous upper-classman. And that is actually what happens. I have heard of it being done.
However, the amazing fact is, that there are as many seniors on this Hill who cheat as there are underclassmen. That is the pitiful thing to me. How can any decent, self-respecting person go through three years of college and not have it forced upon his conscience that the only harm he is doing—outside of himself on others, is to himself? How can a man whose parents are expecting him to be making of himself during preparation for life chest them and cheat himself out of the biggest thing he could possibly be learning, namely, honor in his dealings with others and with himself?
Does he suppose for one minute that he is going to straighten up and play fair when he gets out to work his way in the world if he is. These are ten to one that he will be a worse rather than a better man when he gets away from here. For a person can not easily break the habits that have taken years to form. And the kind of man one is in college is the kind he will be.
All this outbreak does not apply to men alone, either. As strong as I am for the weaker sex, a sense of justice impels me to admit that the girls are deplorable weak in this question of honor. And I am asking who she is here for a good time that fail in honor—although they probably do their share—but there are girls who pretend to stand for the best things of University life, girls who go to church on Sunday and Yule, girls who would be forced to go by olders, who don't hesitate to cheat if it is going to raise their grade in a subject.
This question of honor has so crept under my skin that I could go on indefinitely in a discussion of it. But I wonder if it really would make the right people think? The ones who knew what they were thinking this very moment engrossed in the "movie advertisements or the sporting items." C. M.
