FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1924
The Daily Kanan arms to picture the day. Give him the city of Kanan; give him more than Kanan; and show the views by standing for the ideals she sees; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be caring; to be more serious problems to youth leaders; all to appeal to the head of the ability to handle them.
Who says Kansas isn't wild. They are using the metal in the captured revolvers for window weights down at Wichita.
IS HONESTY ENOUGH?
It is past comprehension the attitude which not only professional politicians but a number of honest and otherwise sane people are taking toward the corruption and inefficiency that has been brought to light through the congressional investigations.
"Hands off from the Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., and the remaining members of the old Cabinet," about these people, "because they are honest!"
Hard as it is, yet in Christian generosity, it is possible to grant that they are, in a way, honest. But is that enough? Simply because they are not crooks does not necessarily mean that they are fit to govern a mighty nation of more than a hundred millions. Of those who occupies places of responsibility the public expects more than mere honesty. Honesty is a very important factor, no doubt, but rulers of a mighty nation need imagination, idealism, constructive and penetrative mind—in a word they need statesmanship and all that goes with it.
When we want to put a man at the head of a corporation we require that he should possess not only honesty but executive ability, a far sighted vision, an understanding of the needs of the community that his corporation is supposed to serve. The government of the United States of America is the largest and most important corporation in this country and perhaps in the world. Is it desirable that the people who hold the destinies of this great country in their hands should be of an inferior caller than the head of a business corporation?
Has the present administration shown its ability to conform to this minimum standard? Even the most charitable of their critics will admit, no matter how reluctant, that they haven't.
Some members of the government on their own statement stand guilty of a certain degree of indifference, if not neglect, in conducting their departmental duties, others have shown a woeful lack of courage—one in particular, of whom it was least expected.
Let there be no side-tracking the issue. The question of honesty, important as it is, is not all. The disclosures involve much more. It raises the question of the fitness of the present personnel of the administration to their job and also of the system that makes corruption possible. Disillusionment is always painful—as this one is—but it may yet turn out to be of immense value, if the opportunity is well utilized.
The University of Kansas tennis team has won every valley match so far this year. Here is one K. U. enterprise that is showing a net profit.
IT'S WITH YOU AGAIN
The summer straw has invaded the campus again in answer to the official decree issued by Mayor Holliday. The braver man of the species fearlessly wore their brand new or maybe old-new straw to school yesterday. Others clung to the good old felt or left off wearing any hat at all. These latter were saved the rush for shelter
when the proverbial shower came upon them yesterday.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
In the long ago extending back as far as Moses in the bulrushes, straw has had its usfulness when plaited. The utility to Moses came about in the form of a basket but the vassals of Pharah are supposed to have worn something like a straw, hat to protect them from the boiling sun as they worked at the pyramids. So, on and on down the ages, the straw hat has evolved.
In the United States the first straw hat belonged to a woman. With the ingenuity of Betsy Ross of the American flag fame, it was 12-year old Betsy Metcalf of Providence who in June, 1798 fashioned a hat of a straw and ribbon combination.
So today, the fashionable men are contributing to a $20,000,000 industry backed by the best skill of the world—a concern which found its humble beginnings from the nimble fingers of woman.
and ribbon combination. Hundreds of persons visited her to inspect the new creation she says in her diary written some years later.
Pansy says she always reads the wint ads to see if she has lost any thing.
MUSICAL EDUCATION
In this materialistic old world it seems almost unbelievable that Kansas City has raised a half million dollars for a symphony orchestra, and yet that is just what has happened in hot city.
The people of Lawrence and the students in the University are especially fortunate to have such an opportunity of hearing good music with comparatively small expense as this will offer. They are particularly lucky because they have escaped the expense of the drive for funds to support such an orchestra.
The University and Lawrence citizens have already expressed a desire for musical education by establishing the tradition of Music Week, and this venture in Kansas City, although on a much larger scale, will help to stimulate that interest.
"George Bernard Shaw declares himself a communist with few wants. He says he can be along nicely with a couple of motor cars, a country home near London, a nice little flat in the West End of London and 2,000 to 3,000 pounds pocket money.
The lady members of Parliament are now all appearing hatties in the House. Out of respect to the men, we suppose.
Saying it with flowers occasionally produces only a whisper.
It is stated that the price of gasoline is going down. Now if Universities would reduce assignments accordingly everyone would be happy.
WONT CHRIST BE PROUD
Hooray for old New York again!
She always leads the line; .
three million dollars for a church!ay, Bill, won't that be fine!
Mosaics, gorgeous, gilt and gold,
Will cover every wall
Three million dollars for a church A pulpit thousands worth,
And freewords done by dagos, Bill,
From half way 'round the earth!
Judas wasn't no place for Christ;
They didn't treat him right;
With poor folk for his followers.
He fought a loin's fight.
An' *atin stools* an' *pompos chair* an'
*pen* with velvet spread,
To workship the man who used to have
No place to lay his head!
To show the poor man's doin', whil Lay swaddled in a stall.
But here the rich are for Him, Bill
He has a better show;
With old New York behind him now
His church has got to grow.
There's nothin' in Boston to match it,
Bill:
'T'll beat the Chicago crowd,
'An when the news gets up to heaven
Say, Bill, Wont Christ be proud!
-WILLIAM HERBERT CARRUTT
There has been frequent reference $o$ the service rendered students by the Y, M. C. A. employment bureau. The statistics, however, are not always particularly accurate even if they are based on the service rendered to students.
Campus Opinion
Another phase of the work that is just as important, but which has not been stressed, is the courtesy and the service expected from the students. The employment bureau cannot continue to serve except by maintaining the good will and confidence of those students who do not fulfill the obligations accepted by them do much to destroy this good will and confidence.
It is not fair to continue to assign such men to work and risk destroying the confidence in the bureau, thereby working an injustice to those who need work. A case and a point of this occurred this morning
The art department put in a request for a student to work from 8:30 to 12:30 nt 50 cents an hour. The job was assigned to a man who agreed to be on duty. Nine o'clock arrived and the department phoned
that the man had not appeared,
Fifteen minutes later he had not yet arrived. The man was then called
and he said that he didn't want to work because he had a headache.
He was being served faithfully would have been to report his indisposition in time to let his place be filled.

Penn State, realizing the need for a general revival of the University's customs and traditions, last week celebrated "Spirit Week." Freshmen were required to wear long green ribbons and been seen the yearlings on the move. The week closed on Saturday with "poverty day."
The next freshman class at Penn State will be limited to 1000 students, according to action by the college trustees. No priority of application is considered, admission being granted entirely upon a scholastic basis.
