HAPPY NEW YEAR
With our playtime over, we are all back on the job, with new resolves and new enthusiasm. The Kauai wishes every one a Happy New Year as well as a fruitful and useful one. Each year marks the accomplishment of some things we have meant to, and the failure to do other things we had intended. It is a good time to take inventory of our mental resources, learn how to begin the acquisition of the useful, and a time to make plans whereby we may succeed in those things in which last year we failed.
The smiling little boy, with few clothes except the label, "1025," is our child, the child of each one of us, to raise as we wish. Let us train this child in such a way that as the bells toll in the new year 1926 we can look back upon his departing brother and say, "I made that success, and I am proud."
And this is the blue Monday morn ing after the two weeks before.
Contentment is golden, but gold cannot give content.
SAFETY
While here at the University of Kansas, we have been discussing the traffic problem and the dangers involved in the reckless use of automobiles on our "Main street," a safety commission at Washington under the direction of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover has been discussing the same problem in its nationwide aspects. Many of the recommendations made by this commission are of interest to us here.
Perhaps the most interesting is the statement that safety is a matter of education. Most of us were graduated from high school before the teaching of safety became part of the curriculum of the elementary schools. Nowadays the children in the graded schools, at least in the larger cities, are taught such simple matters of safety as learning first to the left and then to the right in crossing a busy street; and that, while the pedestrian is as much entitled to the use of a street as is the motorist, he is also obliged to take as great precautions as the motorist is supposed to take. The responsibility for being educated rests upon both the driver of the vehicle and the pedestrian. On the drive through the campus one can see those who have been educated, who have learned of precondition. But one can see too that the pedestrian and the motorist who have not been educated—the pedestrian who dashes into the busy thoroughfare without so much as a glance to either side, and the motorist who whizes along on the concrete at a speed far greater than the allowable ten miles an hour.
At the season of the year, when pavement and sidewalks are likely to be slippery with ice, it is especially important that proper precautions he taken by all concerned. If an accident should occur, the likelihood is that a rigid enforcement of the campus speed limit would follow for a time, or, possibly, the complete debarment of all cars from the campus.
Car drivers should realize that they may cause themselves inconvenience in the future by persisting in careless driving, and those of us who travel on foot must keep in mind that we are equally responsible for the safety of the campus streets.
BUSINESS AS USUAL
Innermuch as the story of Governor Davis' dismissal of Dr. E. H. Lindley as chancellor of the University has appeared in all of the papers of the state, the Kunau will not attempt to cover any of the events to date, but will begin its handling of the case with today's occurrences.
It cannot be urged too strongly that students accept the Chancellor's request that we conduct "business as usual." Any thoughtless demonstration at this time can only serve to give reason to the governor's limitation, as published in the Topica *Capital*, that university students are children. Let us then go about our classwork as usual, reserving our judgment until such time as the facts are known and all we are before all we are. Our sympathies are naturally with the Chancellor; and we can best aid him by going about our duties in our customary manner.
JOKE'S ON YOU
The funniest, yet the most unappreciated humor on this campus is the unpublished joke which the student thinks he is pulling on someone else, but which is invariably on himself. He takes a course in literature, in which the reading is to be done by the honor system. He either fails entirely to do any of the required reading, or sits with the book in front of him, and thinks of other things. Then he reports the full quota required, and laughs heartily that he has pulled such a good joke on the unsuspecting professor.
The same student may take a course in News I. As a reporter did the other day, he may sign a laboratory slip at 8:45, indicating work from 8:20 to 9:30, and go away much pleased with himself and his particular brand of home-made humor.
But what is the real point of his little joke? Have they done any harm to instructors? None at all. But to him—they have done immense damage. They have lessened his moral stamina, and besides that—they have deprived him of some of that real opportunity for development which comes in a university only through individual effort.
"Men of the hour" must refer to boss professors who hold forlorn in loss every day until five minutes fter the whitish blows.
Silently, one by one, in the infinite books of the instructors, blossom the little failures, the forget-me-nots of the students.
RESPONSIBILITY
Let George-do-it-lit, a grave disease resulting from atrophy of the sense of responsibility, appears to be prevalent on the campus. Everyone has seen a victim or two of this sort since the late 1970s, and able by their attitude of "Chase me, I'm a butterfly," which is the most outstanding symptom.
The joiner, the person who stands ready to enter any organization but is never ready to help with its work after he has joined, is one example of the general type. The larger the group includes all those who readily agree and management then fail to do their share in making it a success.
Mild cases of this disease result in forgetting to call the drycleaner as you had promised your roommate would, or in neglecting an occasional class assignment. When complete disinfection of the sense of respon-
sibility is required, the victim is likely to forget almost any 'ask' important or unimportant.
The most serious aspect of this disease is its epidemic nature. In many cases, one victim will affect a whole houseful of his fellows. Only a strong and healthy individual can resist the disease when he is living everyday in an atmosphere full of its germs.
The only cheerful aspect of cause of this disease is that, like the mumps, they are easily curable. No expensive sanitaria are necessary; a few doses of homemade attention to duty will result in marvelous cures.
On Other Hills
Fridays are being observed by the University of California student as Song day. The purpose is to fun activities and songs for teachers and teachers to jazz college spirit
Freshmen at the University of Florida are required to take an examination on a number of question sets, and a nature regarding the university. These questions have been formulated by the vigilance committee of the university and being instituted by the vigilance committees because of the surprising ignorance regarding the university manifested by some of the freshmen.
DePawr University is planning to install a university press at the cost of $7,500. This press will be under the supervision of the department of journalism, aided by the members of Sigma Delta Chi. In discussing the need for such an example, to "the extensive printing plant of the University of Kanara,"
Freshman women, of the University of Colorado, who do not wore an identification badge will be compelled to stand trial before a court of nonhomore women who have been appointed as police.
These campus policewomen will wear no distinguishing attire except for the first day. Among the roles they play are guard, books or other articles may be carried in such a way as to conceal the badge, no freshman woman will chew gum, any freshman woman who appears "cook" will be subject to trial by the sophomore court, and any freshman woman shall walk or the grass.
Students at the University of Indiana must file application for the purpose of operating cars in Bloomington, where the university is situated. The moral and scholastic standing of the student is taken into consideration when one uses an automobile on official affairs, which decides on the question.
