UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kansas
Published in the afternoon, five times a week. It was sent to Kansas, from the press of the department
The Daily Karen aims to picture the kind of students who go to Kenya, to go further than merely printing the news in print media. She wants to be clear; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be clean; to be care

JOHNSON ON SMOKING
Perhaps the Board of Administration agrees with Ben Johnson in regard to smoking. In "Every Man In His Humor" we find this: Ods me! I marle what pleasure or felicity they have in taking their rugish tobacco. It is good for nothing but to choke a man and fill him full of smoke and embers.
USE THE BALLOT
The election of cheer-leader by ballot at a chapel convocation is a far better method than the one heretofore employed, but it is by no means perfect.
The logical way to elect the cheerleader is by ballot, at the time of the class elections, in the same way that other officers are elected. Doubtest this plan will be followed next year. The result of the election last week was so overwhelming that there was no room for doubt, but it may not always be that way.
PAY YOUR DUES
The Student Council has made no campaign for members for the Student Union, but already a good number have joined. The billiard tables will arrive this week, and then a big campaign for membership will be started.
Why not save the Councilmen the unpleasant necessity of personal solicitation by coming in unasked? You will eventually anyhow, for all good students do. And a permanent Union is an impossibility unless the present Union is well-supported.
NO NEED TO WORKY
A Lawrence minister, in his Sunday morning sermon, criticised a story that appeared in the Daily Kansan last week to the effect that Coach Wheaton had decided that the football players should no longer use the crimson and blue jerseys because it made the men conspicuous to the officials.
Readers of the Daily Kansan know that in doing this Coach Wheaton does not contemplate teaching the men any "dirty playing." Unintentional violations of rules are inevitable, and if the officials do not detect them, so much the better for Kansas. Offside plays are common. The K. U. players will play clean ball, as they always have. Also, if they make an offside play, and can get away with it, they won't ask the referee to penalize them.
STUDENT GOVT ON TRIAL
Student government is on trial this year, the Chancellor told the students in his annual welcome in chapel Friday.
Student government will be a failure at the University unless the students get behind the Council and the W. S. G. A., and take an individual responsibility. There must be some
sort of regulation, and self-government is certainly more to be desired than faculty control.
Every student owes it to the University and to the rest of the students to obey the rules—especially the 10:30 date rule and the smoking rule, which have been most flagrantly violated in the past. The Council cannot enforce the rules unless backed by student sentiment and there can be no student sentiment until everyone feels his own personal obligation.
The Highbrow
Mary is a highbrow, for she's been away to college.
And she has picked up quite a lot of ornamental knowledge.
Mother's manners are pass and father's are, lost as horrid.
theirs are just as hard. Do they?
Mary comments on them in a manner
Old folks don't know how to eat. And their meals are obsolete.
Old folks don't know how to dress, and Mary is explaining
What to wear and how to act when they are entertaining.
Dad must throw his pipe away and wear his coat at dinner;
Ma must buy a poodle dog if she would be a winner.
They must learn the icy stare And shake hands up in the air.
But this course of training is at most but temporary.
Fate is going to play a neat and nifty
joke on Mary.
When she marries—and she will, for sure, some day or other
She will be old-fashioned like her father and her mother.
Can't be all-fired polite
When you're married. Ain't it right?

Trend of Colleges for Women
A. —Maybe the new man knows
"What can you do?" pertinently and persistently asked Dr. Scott Nearing in an address given before the graduating class of a prominent woman's college. "What can you do?" This is the interrogation of the Age. And every woman's college is now being forced by the young women who come within its walls for enlightenment to answer this most vital question: "What do you prepare us to do?"
Charles Erwin Reitzel in Harper's. (The Kansas recently printed parts of an article in the Nation condemning vocationalism in the schools. The matter is treated from the other side in the following.)
Society in general, and the college woman in paticular, have found that women are real human beings and as such are capable of doing real human work. Therefore when the freshman she does not seek the course that will fit her solely for idle leisure and "cultured" pink-tie conversation. She has a purpose in view, a heart-deep desire to attain and accomplish something while in life, and a need for affairs. The modern college woman feels growing within her the spirit of an innate individual power that demands expression. She knows full well that women are capable of achievement and refuses power to women who do idle or idle parental existence. She has been convinced that it is possible for her to apply her talents to human needs and social betterment. Therefore during the last decade the American colleges for women have been hard pressed to maintain prestige, are being compelled to meet the needs of the progressive woman.
When in 1855 the Regents of New York State for the first time gave charter rights to a woman's college
whereby it might offer degrees and five courses of study similar to those given to men, the presidents of other colleges throw up their hands in hostilities. The same educational system were being besieged by female insurgents.
One college president wrote: "A few dreamers I understand are trying to develop a college for women in the village of Elmira. The idea of giving woman a man's education is too ridiculous to appear credible." While delivering a public address a professor of philosophy in a well known eastern college said: "I am informed that a charter has just been issued in New York State for the forming of a woman's mind, that a foolish effort being made to groom men on the platform before an audience. To my mind this borders on the vulgar." Dr. M. P. Jewett, who in 1861 was organizing for Mt. Vassar the now famous college which bears the latter's name, also received criticisms similar to those quoted.
Nevertheless, against colossal odds of ridicule and ostracism, women have made good; they have proven conclusively their right to a college education. Though closely restricted in the past to certain prescribed and narrow fields, they have, without a doubt, given revenge, uniformly demonstrated that they possess the innate power to achieve.
Let us see how the colleges have broadened, even with accelerating speed, to meet the growing demands of women. When we compare the prescribed courses of study in that first college with the present day curriculum we are astonished at what three score years practically all lines of work have gradually opened to the worthwhile woman graduate.
Here are the courses of study outlined in a woman's college catalog dated 1855: Theology, Philosophy, English, Greek, Latin, Mathematics
What a contrast when we read the new catalog of the same institution! We find in addition to the above such courses are: Commercial Law; Interest in Household Building; Accounting and Cost-keeping; Modern Languages; Standards of Living; Food and Cooking; Sewing and Design; Household Economics; Architectural Designing; Biology; Chemistry; Physics; Social Problems; Physical Culture; Music; History; Administration of Income.
The trend of this college, in fact the trend of all colleges for women, is toward this broader education. An education in which is demanded a specific preparation for an independent student that will prepare the student to meet the urgent and manifold needs of our present social order.
We heard much last year concerning college traditions, and we always hear of college spirit. Let us at least have a few college customs of which we may be proud and not ashamed. Let us at least stand, in greeting the Chancellor when he enters chapel. Our failure is not from the lack of a wish to show the Chancellor the honor which is his due, but from the lack of a general understanding on the subject, and of initiative. On last Friday, a few arose, but finding themselves alone, and naturally not wishing to be conspicuous, sat down again. Let us no longer be guilty of this gross shortcoming; and at the next chapel exercise, as the Chancellor enters, lets US ALL ARISE!
Lester F. Ward, the great Sociologist, tells us that two factors, and only two, are necessary for achievement: capacity and opportunity. During the last fifty years women have given conclusive proof of their capacity. However, during this period our college women have prepared the education that prepares for meeting opportunity when opportunity presents itself. Only recently, very recently, have the bars of restriction been broken.
