The Daily Kissian aurna to picture the undergraduate life of the Ursula-ary student who views the aurna by standing for the ideals it tries to be clean; to be cheerful, to be kind; to have more serious problems to work about and to serve to the benefit of its ability to cope with these challenges.
"The women of America have a vital part to play in upholding the cause of clean government," said President Coolidge recently. It is about time for some man to say that the women didn't do their part in preventing the oil scandal.
"ENDY"
Paul Endacott, recipient of the 1923 honor award of the University of Kansas, acknowledges he fore the students as the outstanding figure of the 1923 class, outstanding in every phase of University life.
He is distinguished as an athlete, an engineer, and a leader in student life. But more than all that, he is a scholar and a gentleman, and on him it is fitting that there be bestowed the highest honor which the University may confer upon one of its own
Last Friday was Clean-up Day, and Thursday is to be Straw Hat Day from birthday to Judgment Day. Life is just one day after another.
RUMORS OF WAR
Only six years after the most terrible war the world has known—war which was followed by an unprecedented attempt to bring universal and lasting peace—four countries of Europe are massing troops along two frontiers, in anticipation of outbreaks of hostilities. Bulgaria and Greece have quarrelled, and Russia and Romania are entangled in dispute.
Europe and the rest of the world wait anxiously, fearing another conflagration resulting from the little flashes in the Rabbits. Economists and diplomats have their ears to the ground, and farsighted patrons the world over consider what they would do should the call to arms be sounded.
The League of Nations apparently is silent; the fourteen points are forfeit; the necessity of making the world safe for democracy is elapsed; and high ideals are remembered only for military leaders to conjure with
Civilization has not yet found a means to overcome the human instincts that harback to the days of the rule by tooth and claw. The task of overcoming the idiotic injustice of war has barely been started.
Clarice thinks something would happen if space at the Stadium were sold for after dinner parking. Probably would—either business would drop *of entirely* or some guy with a lot of nerve would make a pile.
DEBTS AND DEBTORS
These are times of nervousness—yea, of much agitation. The poor students are slowly and yet swiftly travelling toward the abyss of final examinations. And the worry is colossal.
Yet there are others—not exactly of the campus but certainly a part of it, once or twice removed, who also are beginning to suffer with mental perturbation.
The merchants of the metropolis wherein we reside!
They, the purveyors of everything which will lead the family's pride to squander the family's wealth, are rightly having quailas about some of the campus inhabitants who are not exactly prompt in the paying of their lawful debts.
In his hurry to get to the old pitchfork or the rusty bookkeeping pen, the industrious student should not forget to settle his obligations to the townsemen and others.
Leaving unpaid bills is not only bad business but the load has to be carried by the more honest of the col
Be fair, be square—and pay up before leaving town for the summer. At least go to the merchant and have a definite understanding with him before taking a departure—and some of his goods—for parts more or less unknown.
SPORTSMANSHIP
At this time of year many students are becoming discontented, some because of a shortage of money, some because of unsatisfactory grades, and others just because they are tired of books, of term papers, of seeing the same people every day, in fact they are tired of everything in general which pertains to school life.
Dizzes are saying each day "they lie if they get out, alive this spring, they won't be hanging around when school begins in the fall."
It is a time to try the good sportsmanship of everyone in school. Will they tired one stop working and give up or will they pluck up and finish this year's job in a creditible manner? Will those who are short of money work for it this summer as when school begins again they will not feel as though they had left a job unfinished?
Everyone hates to be called a poor sport, and if the discouraged students do not "buck-up" it will be a sure sign that they do not have that "old fight" which every person needs to succeed in anything he undertakes.
FOUND IN A BOOK
"I have been sometimes thinking if a man and the art of the second sight of seeing lies as they have in Seoul for seeing spirits, how admirably he might entertain himself in this town by observing the different shapes, sizes and colors of these swarms of ties that buzz about the heads of some people like flies about the horse's ears in summer; or those lioness hotring every afternoon in Exchange alley, enough to darken the air; or over a club of discontented grandées, and thence sent down in cargoes to be scattered at elections."
-Jonathan Swif
At The Theater
Bv T. G.Wear
The Lawrence Drama Lunge seems to have taken a slump since their benefit performance at the Bowersock. The plays last night in the Little Theater were not up to their usual standard. But they were entertaining and showed several things.
In the first place, the amateur playwright should try to profit by the experience of having one of his or her plays produced. Hoping that the author of last night's first play will bear to in mind, there are a few obvious errors which can be corrected for the next attempt.
The young lovers proceed to love and the hero endeavors to kiss the heroine, all of which takes place in the same room with the parents. Yea, verily, the younger generation joins the tribes in freedom from conventions.
The sister of a girl who has recently returned tells her mother how anxious she will be to see her sister, and in getting over the exposition, she goes into detail in telling her mother things which her mother has told her years. It is too obviously to inform the state of affairs.
The children trip gallay and boisterously into the room, and then the room's roommate asks a speech or two which would make a professor proud of his rhetorical accomplishments. It was too bad, for the boy seemed to be overwhelmed.
"The Peace Plan," by Booth Tarkington, was the usual story of an adolescent youth trying to make love to the girl of his choice. There were obvious impossibilities and inconvenience in this play. Heresy by the critic!
Alice Chappuil was convincing at times, but seemed to try to act too much toward the last. Russell Culver has a bad habit of overemphasizing important words, so that the result is too obvious. The mob hit him and the girl young friends of the hero and heroine, was handled rather well.
On the whole the play, "The Pence Plan," was rather well acted. There were occasional bright spots, and the story was a bit dramatic, most annotateur of store efforts.
The Drama League has produced this season some fifteen one-nct
