The Daily Kannam aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Chicago as it would be in the 1960s, so the paper is by standing for the ideals sites; to be clean; to be廉洁; to be helpful; to be more serious problems to white voters; to be more sensible about ability to study the students of the University.
K. U. men are more lenient in their judgment of the girl who breaks her engagement than they are with the one who breaks a mid-week date.
INSURE AGAINST FLUNKS
INSURE AGAINST FLUENKS From the number who were dismissed from the University last spring it appears to be very evident that the senior play "Flunk Insurance" should have been given a year season. But it may help some of these students who are back in school this semester. That is if the students of the University support the play.
Last year there was no senior play. There were no plays submitted which were suitable for production and no one seemed to take much interest in whether or not there was a play. This year the seniors have taken the entire production of the play into their own hands and are attempting to make it one of the best plays ever given in the University.
But the seniors alone cannot put the bling across without the assistance and support of the entire student body.
A Journal-World headline says "Whaling Now Profitable." Sea or woodshed?
THE VALUE OF THE DATE RULE
The value of the date rule or any other sort of a date rule has been causing tremendous consternation among different groups of student this spring. Perhaps it is the season that brings about a more vigorous discussion of the question. Nevertheless, the question is paramount and will not be forgotten. It will be passed around until enough passive action brings out aggressive prosecution.
Today the date rule stands thus; that there can be no dates for women excepting on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights. The closing hours for each vary but that is not to be considered in this writing. A partial exception of this rule is that a woman may have a date home from the library. She is to come directly from Spooner, not stopping anywhere for food or refreshments. Of course, she may stop for the above mentioned if not accompanied by a man.
Furthermore, the date rule stasis thus: that the down town theaterists have a greater portion of their week night performances made up of University students, with dates; that students leave the library before the 10 o'clock closing hour and take the long way to their rooming houses arriving there just in time to get in before the house door is locked at 10:30. Some women are more fortunate than others in this situation and getting home at a later hour they find the door unlocked. Or again, the woman leaves their rooming houses for library, but never intend to go there. The date begins from the front door of her house.
It is for this reason, above all others, that the present date rule needs a tonic. It needs a revision of some sort.
Junior and Senior women are old enough to know when they can spare the time for a date and when they cannot. They want to hold in their own hands the right to have a date whenever they have time for it. They do have the ability and do take the responsibility. Now they want the legal privilege.
By the time women have become juniors and seniors they have been in the University long enough usually
to know that they cannot remain in school if they do not make sufficient credit hours with certain high grades. They have been able to systemize their time and arrange their schedules in order to prepare their lessons.
Many women who come to the University as freshmen directly from carefully supervised homes and from high schools are not able to adjust themselves readily to their new and abnormal environment. Sophomore women who often come here from boarding schools are in the same situation. They must first learn how to study and progress in class room management which is usually different from their previous experience. A social re-adjustment is also at hand for them to make. The women need advice and supervision. For them, a date rule is an aid and guide.
In organized houses the junior and senior women will support the date rule regarding the freshmen and sophomore women. They will do this to a far better degree than under the present regulations. They will, in addition to the University punishment, inflict their own house and organization penalties on the girls under their care who disobey the rule. In unorganized houses, the situation would not be altered much. It would stand about as it does at present. If the landlady keeps the date rule as it stands she do the same for a new date rule. If she diriggers it "as it" she will not keep the freshmen from dates during the week.
Hearing of the general excluus to Kansas City to hear Isham Jones, a fond mother was heard to ask. "Johnny," is Isham Jones an evangelist? "Ah." For the good old days.
UNDERSTANDING
Men from foreign lands are coming to our University in increasing numbers every year. Very few people realize the possibilities which this congregation of representatives from foreign lands offers to the University in particular and to the state of Kansas in general.
Situated as we are in the middle of this great continent we hardly, if ever, come into direct contact with the outside world. Books and newspapers tell us about the great movements of the world but, at best it is only second hand information. That perhaps accounts for the indifferent attitude which most of us take towards some of the most vital international problems of the day.
Our educational institutions are, however, attracting men from the four corners of the globe. They come here to learn from us, but we can learn something from them too, if we only will. If it be possible to devise some agency through which the foreign students could be brought into a closer association with American students, both the parties will be much better off.
Kansas could get a broader world vision, an idea of what the younger generation is thinking of in the foreign lands. They can also learn much about the foreign lands—their philosophy of life, their manners and customs, while the foreign students can learn more of the Kansas spirit and American ideals and life. In other words, both parties can get a better understanding of each others ideals and habits of thought and action.
Understanding is loving, as the saying goes, which will result in better international readjustment ultimately leading to that happy state of affairs which may well be termed as the coming of the kingdom of God—harmony, peace and co-operation between the nations of the world.
To bring about such a result it is necessary that both the parties concerned should realize the importance of their respective shares and should be willing to do their part.
Foreign students should feel that they owe a debt to the state of Kansas, to America, and they should try to pay that debt in the only way in which it can be paid. They should do their best to learn and assimilate the American ideals of democracy and to give in return what is best in their culture and civilization.

Marcellan Murdock, of the Wichita Eagle, told a class at the University the other day that it was wise for one to think about fewer subjects than most of us do, and go into those subjects more deeply.

A student having six courses to think about, to keep ever in mind, has enough to think about, and then some. And if perchance he has an outside activity to include, or must earn a penny or two for bread and
This is something nearly every student on the Hill has felt. For there are too many two hour courses, or too many three hour courses also.
Psychologists may say one cannot learn as fast if one subject is crammed into him all day long continuously as if the subject were spread out over a longer period. But the evil due to distraction and multiply of demands is just as serious, perhaps more so.
Much help to students would result from a consolidation of many of the present two and three hour courses which continue through the year into three, four, or five hour courses for a semester.
