UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Lawrence, Kans.
The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduate in the future further than merely printing the news by standing up for it. The news also favors it; to be clients, to be cheerful; to be more serious problems to upper heads; to be more ability to the students of the University.

THE NEW LOYAL ALUMNUS
The presence of the Board of Visiting Alumni on Mt. Oread this week is a good omen for the future of the University.
University.
The matter of being a loyal alumnus is undergoing a change. One can no longer be a truly loyal alumnus without getting out and actively working for the University; the "loyal alumnus" who is dormant all year until about the time of the Missouri-Kansas game is rapidly giving way before the alumnus who is always back of his University, and who visits it in August and December alike.
With a vision of ever-increasing loyalty on the part of its alumni before it, the University of Kansas may well extend a hearty welcome to this week's visitors.
PASSING IT ON
The idea, trying to smoke out of a mine with sulphur fumes a Mexican who has lived on hot peppers, garlic, and cigarettes, all his life!
The Student Council has a little brother.-Kansan headline. Poor, poor youngster!
NINE RAHS FOR DETWILER
"...and say, dad, I wish you would see fit to send me an extra five with which to buy a pantatorium ticket. The five dollars that you sent me earlier in the fall for that purpose, I—er, I gave to the Y. M. C. A..."
NINE RAHS FOR DETWILLER
Elected captain of next year's football team in the midst of the recent uproar, Dutch Detwiller faces his responsibility with the simple remark that "personally, I am going to work my head off to make the team a success."
If the captain, to whom the success of the team means everything, has that spirit ___-!
It might be well to explain to visiting alumni and the Board of Administration that we don't sign petitions and chase fleeing pantatorium owners and get holidays every week.
For Exchange—Jack Fullerton and O. P. Leonard for Huerta, Huerta, at least, sticks to his job.
GOOD FOR THE JUNIORS Long live the traditions started by the junior class.
The memorial it will place in the tower of the Museum Building has been approved by the Board of Administration; the juniors are out of the "going to do" class into the "doing" class.
After all the talk, the fact remains that pa can make a worse mistake than offering a ten-dollar bill with an earnest apology about not being able to think of a thing.—Jonlin Globe.
Hunting a fellow a holiday job as in example.
SCHOLARSHIP BACKBONE
The man who behaves because he has to has even been considered inferior to the man who behaves of his own volition. The one has the will power and strength of purpose that make up real character; the other depends on someone else, and is not "master of his own destiny."
For the same reason the student who keeps up his grades because he wants to be on some athletic team or to enter some student activity should be considered inferior to the student who keeps up his grades because he wants to learn. The scholarship of the former depends not on the student's will power and midnight oil but upon the chairman of eligibility committee, who is often sadly overworked.
Good scholarship at the University should not be the product of an eligibility committee.
K. U. students are endowed with certain inable rights which consist of life, liberty, and the pursuit of pantatorium owners.
A CORRECTION
The Kansan wishes to correct any possibility of confusion between The Lawrence Pantatorium and the Lawrence pantatorium that disappeared last week. The wording in the story suggested to some students that it was The Lawrence Pantatorium rather than another Lawrence pantatorium that left town.
Up until the time we went to press today The Lawrence Pantatarium was still with us.
Down with the President. He didn't say a word in his message to Congress about our coaching problem or the pantidorium scandals.
This thing of a guaranty for bank deposits by the state of Kansas may be all right, but the pressing need of University students is for some sort of a guarantee for pantatorium deposits.
The college man of today is not nearly so lively as he was some years back—News item.
Perhaps not, but at that some good old-fashioned graduate dad will make things mighty interesting along about Christmas when they behold on their only sons the latest in K. U. mountaches.
ITLL ALWAYS BE ADAMS
In Lawrence the city council has decided to number the cross streets, doing away with the confusing names. University students no longer plod up the famous "Adam Street Hill." They now court heart failure in ascending Fourteenth Street—Kansas City Star.

A DEFENSE OF SOCIAL LIFE AT N. V.
? ? ? ? ? ? — L₂ H₄
K. U.
?  ?  ?  ?  ?  ?
The statement has often been made that the University is a matrimonial agency; that its social life is overemphasized to the detriment of studies, health, and morals of the students. Some of the more bold have gone so far as to say that the lavish expenditure upon social functions is shocking to good taste. The criticism has gathered momentum until people out over the state have brought with them differing opinions of social activities at the University. It is only fair that an unbiased view of the situation should be given and the matter considered fundamentally.
Fuller.
It is only natural that where twenty-five hundred young men and women come together in one institution, that social functions should have a part. It is also only natural and just that these functions should be considered with reference to the present status of society in other parts of the country. It is not only expected that the three of twenty-five years ago. Times have changed and social conditions have changed. We, the students, therefore ask our critics not to judge too harshly, but view us in the light of the existing circumstances.
During the last ten years a great social change has come over the country. Manners, dress, customs, and points of view have taken on a different aspect, and it is true that some of the changes have been reflected in our University. Standards of living have altered; it seems more money than ever that University students it did years ago. More parties are given and the average student probably takes a greater interest in social affairs.
Not so the University of Kansas. The ban has been put on all the so-called new dances, such as the "One Step," and the "Tango" and all our par-ticipants. We are creating the impression that Kansas students have no sense of decency.
This increased activity has given rise to the assertion that we are "aping the customs that properly belong only in those classes of society popularly known as the 'idle rich'," and that they are more likely to the fraternities and sororities, but they are little more at fault than the rest of the student body.
Critics seem to have lost sight of the fact that the "social whirl" is being overemphasized the world over. Is it fair to expect college students to imagine themselves back in the eighties and govern their actions accordingly? New dances have become the rage in the different cities of the country, and are considered perfectly proper. Other colleges have allowed them to exist, regarding them as the natural tendency of the time.
Last Wednesday at the Aurora Theater, a set of moving pictures was shown illustrating these new dances. There was not an objectionable feature in the whole picture, although it was claimed to hail from the "cabaret" of New York. All the dance companies encourage the teaching of fancy舞 in the classes in the Gymnasium, we frown upon these late creations. Has not the press overexaggerated the harm in these dances?
We have withstood this adverse criticism and the University has suffered somewhat by it. In the future would it not be better if a less radical view were taken of our social affairs; if the critic was well founded before he lit it be published? Why not regard the students of the University of Kansas as men and women, capable of taking care of themselves, and not as an aggregation of children who require constant watching to keep them from overstepping the bounds of propriety?
