The Daily Kamea aims to picture the students of the University in a more authentic Kenyan; to go further than merely print books, they want to play games like the University holds to play no favorites; to be clean; to be coherent to be characteristic; to solve problems to uke heads in all, to serve to enable the ability of the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY, DEC. 16, 1914.
Something to get excited over: the indoor golf season has opened at the Student Union.
General Beerkii reports that he has attacked Lunchecountertski and seized Limburg. His position is now stronger than ever.
Note to participants in the Jayhawkier Beauty Contest: In the race for beauty, the prize is not to the swift.
But, nevertheless, student conduct follows the fashions. Hobble it too much and there will come a split.
The New York Herald has sent a dramatic critic to Europe as one of its war correspondents. Sent to cover the news in the "theatre of war," doubtless.
WORK WILL DO IT
Black Helmet, sophomore society, is to be complimented on its prompt assistance to the Student Union. Other class societies might do well to follow the example.
Work, hard work, and lots of it, will save the Men's Student Union. It is the duty of the members of the Student Council to do this work, for the establishment of a Student Union is the primary purpose of the organization, at least it is if the constitution can be believed.
Work, hard work, and lots of it will save the Union.
However loyal and patriotic students are, few will go to the trouble of hunting about for someone to take their two dollars. Many, on the other hand, are ready and willing to join the Union if they are solicited. The work should have been done a long time ago, but the damage may not be permanent.
THE OREAD MAGAZINE
The Oread Magazine, which appeared on the Hill yesterday morning, dispels the notion that humor must be unclean to be good. The material is not very "hot," but it is well-written, and the magazine is well put together. It is by far the best magazine put out by the Quill Club for a long time.
GLAD TO HAVE IT
K. U. will welcome the committee appointed by the Kansas City alumni to visit the University and find out if anything is the matter with spirit, athletics, the Chancellor, the faculty, the Student Council, and so forth. The sooner the trouble is out of the way the better it will be. Conditions at K. U. are good, and an investigation cannot result any way but favorably to the University, and all connected with it.
INDIANA'S UNION
Indiana University, with its 2573 students maintains a flourishing Student Union. Approximately the
same number of male students attend Indiana as Kansas, yet the Indiana Union is on a firm basis. The Student building, located on the campus, is given over to the members of the Union to a great degree. On the first floor are a lounging room, a trophy corner, and a billiard room. On the second floor is a reading room, where the leading magazines and city papers are found.
The most important thing to be said of the Union is that it is a live institution. It was founded in 1009, as a social organization, and has a charter membership of 400 men.
COMING TO CHAPEL?
Twenty-five hundred students going out all over Kansas for two weeks, talking mill tax amendment to the legislators and voters and newspapers will create a vast amount of sentiment in favor of the tax.
To do much good, however, the student must know about what he is talking. The time to learn is tomorrow morning in chapel, when four prominent alumni will discuss the question from all angles.
WE WANT "INVESTIGATION"
The Daily Kansan will ask to be "investigated" when the Kansas City alumni committee comes to Lawrence. Arthur St. Leger Mosse, Alonzo Busick, J. L. Brady and a communicant to the Star have said that the Daily Kansan is censored. To prove the absolute falsity of their statements the Kansan will request the K. C. alumni to find out about it. And now here's an offer: The Daily Kansan will give a hundred dollars in gold to the Belgian Relief fund or any other charity, if Alonzo Busick, J. L. Brady Arthur St. Leger Mosse, the communicant to the Star, or anyone else who can show that the Kansan is censored.
The idea is not that the Daily Kansan cares a tinker's naughty word what Alonzo and his friends think—but that was cited as an instance of faculty domination. It was little more absurd and preposterous than many other of the charges, all of which worked to the detriment of K. U. Conversely, proof of their falsity will work for the good of K. U. and will undo in a measure the harm done by the recent unjust publicity.
The Growler
The esteemed Ladies' Home Journal comes forth every year with many and various discourses on the real Christmas spirit. Probably the poor deluded authors think they know whereof they speak. But 'tis not so. If they had ever gone to K. U. they would know better.
Christmas spirit, dear children, is what makes the faculty spring quizizes the last thing before vacation. It is what makes the stores boost prices on everything, and especially on all the old junk they had left over from Christmas, 1492. It is what inspires the imminacious lover to quarrel with his heart's desire for success, and the chance to feel disappointed when he doesn't come through with a piece of expensive junk on that happy day that comes but once a year-for which let us all give thanks.
Christmas spirit is what makes us love our enemies and our relatives long enough for us to buy them Christmas presents because we are afraid they are buying some for us which they are, for the same reason.
Christmas spirit—but enough of dark thoughts, as Shakespeare so fittingly says. We can't dispense with it without giving up Christmas, but don't worry about the loss of vacation. So let us buck up and try to grin and bear it. What's a little attack of Christmas spirit, compared to two whole weeks of freedom from our slavery? Answer joy or death. With Christmas, let joy be unconfined!
According to one of the Museum ceepers, the Moropus, which flourished 2,000,000 years ago, was a cross between a horse and a rhinoceros. Because of modern horses would make a great seg for the feedbag.
"College men are the best fighters," says David Starr Jordan. Yes, but some are better than others. Ask Yale—or even Kansas.
It's to be hoped that old man A. D. Versity doesn't claim any relationship with out basketball Varsity.
Another Polish town is named Szeczbrzesyn. Run, James, and get out that tomato can and old file.
Missed by the Oread Board of Censorship
There are unbounded chances for glory in being a birdman says an European aviator. Why the trouble is with the birdman? Might as well use a shot gun.
Speaking of War Atrocities — When it comes to charging the Turco hasn't anything on the average laundryman.
"Venable Speaks Here in Spring"
—Headline. Evidently at some sort of baptismal exercises.
Unless the water of the Kaw river purifies in the process of freezing, it will be too gritty for skating purposes.
"Booze cuts four years from average life!"—Newspaper headline. If that's the case with booze, it's a problem. And if Lawrence water don't die aborin*.
Speaking of gratitude, every time German troops stop for breath while chasing Russians in Poland the commanders claim another "sweeping victory."
Space in this column is also accorded to Con Squires, who wishes to deny the statement attributed to him that he is opposed to the proposition of having junior pictures appear in the Annual.
Dean Templin, who wrote from Florida to deny the article in the Star attributed to him, no doubt understands how Lord Kitchener feels about that story Irvin Cobb put out about him.
Some women are born popular,
some achieve popularity, and others
are created.
The difference of opinion which has been expressed in regard to the Sour Owl may be explained by the fact that not all the men in the University belong to the society of Owls.
Members of the alleged chapter of T. N. E. will find joy in the announcement that "K. U. Will Not Go Dry Any More"
Knocking will continue in spite of every effort to suppress it. There are folks in this town who knock on Lawrence city water.
