THURSDAY, MAY 8, 1924.
The Daily Kanman arena is picture the undergraduate life of at the University of Chicago, where she inspires the novae by standing for the ideals of compassion, to be clean; to be cheerful, to be careful; to more serious problems to wise heads; to know how to be able to handle the students of the University.
The Congressional Record must have a hard time getting enough news to go to press these days.
THE CONNECTING LINK
We read in the Scriptures of a tower that a heathen race built toward the supposed temple of their God. The structure rose into the heavens above an Anistic plain, and the clamor of cymbals vied with the blare of brazen trumpets to announce the joys of those people as they crested a supposed route to their final goal. This goal was eternal joy and happiness in the presence of the mighty ruler of their parched deserts, glittering cities, and expansive seas.
But as their tower reared itself into the sky they felt the need of communication with the power that made it possible, so the priests gathered in front of the masonry to convey their wishes above. The red but arms of a brazen idol received the babies tossed into the glowing hands, and the shining knife was plunged into the breast of many youths that their hearts might be wrenched forth as an offering to the powerful God. The base of the shaft became stained with crimson, and the worshipers called to the unknown within the sight of this grusome emblam. It was the communicating medium into another world. The tower of Babel fell with confusion and pain for the heathen.
The outer world lies before the modern student as the heaven of old did before the Hebrews. We construct a tower of Babel out of custom and tradition as a means of egress to the unknown future. We prostrate ourselves before the burning arms of our daily routine and gaze at life through a haze of books and lectures. The teachings and lessons of our supervisors become towers of confusion, which we accept as necessary obstacles to future happiness. The four years spent in college are mechanical and meaningless, and but a pathway.
As stone blocks went into the ancient tower, so do hours of credit go into our ladder to the goal ahead. The knowledge is sacrificed for the game of getting a degree. Confusion results and the tower will at last be shaken to the ground. Will we salvage enough fragments to go on, or is it as meaningless in the end as was Babel?

Congress will do something yet. It will listen to the marine band on the night it closes the session.
Tomorrow afternoon the University of Kansas - baseball team will open the 1924 Valley season on Stadium field with Iowa State as opponents. The Kansas team has won two, lost three, and tied one game thus far this season. For the past three years, successfully, the Crimson and Blue athletes have won the valley flag.
This year the Kansas men are working under a great handicap and have a great obstacle to overcome if they finish first, but the students should be down in the stands tomorrow row backing the nine to the limit whether she wins the championship or loses all the games played.
The first robin slipped in rather quickly this spring. There was scarcely a word said about him in the papers. But then we did not read much while we were home on the Christmas vacation.
A SINNER CONFESSES
We are compelled to admit that the editorial last night dubbed "The Fence Busters" did not get over as big as it might. Such cruel epitaphs as political bunk and political pap and 'gosh derm' in the campus opinion column tassed at the editorial which was our idea of irony, aarsam, wit and the last word in getting up and giving the ranz. Up to but stepped the loyal defenders of the Progressive party with a gleam in the eye and a war club in the fatt to saitup the astounding, stipendous, superimposing piece of political propaganda that crept by the censors of the Kansan.
This all goes to show that a cruel world holds no respect for anybody that attempts to get smart, cuts, funny, or other things too numerous to mention. When we beefle **offers** to say something only bring on us the wrath of the high thinkers.
The "Fence Buffers" did not intend to walk on the cast tails of the Progressive party. There was no idea of putting the 'stand tails' upon the bainy clouds of political uplift. And would you believe it? The Kansan does not believe that the Democrats will win the next election on what was said in last night's effort. So produce a handkerchief and weep a few saisy tears with us that our efforts to say something failed. The Kansan is guilty of falling fat and acknowledges defeat. Never does it try to get smart again.
"There is no school like the old school," said the rooter as he arose for another yell.
Evidently some of the women on the hill think that the date rule was the work of a bunch of prunes.
Maybe they are reserving their noise for the home town people. We will stand for almost anything if nothing is said to raise our ice.

LaFollette ought to start another filibuster. The nation could not tell any difference between it and an ordinary session.
Campus Opinion
The editorial appearing in your columns last night on "Fence Busters" is an astounding piece of political bunk. The writer seems to think that the insurgents in Congress are doing as they are just for the sake of it, because the conservative or standpatter member of the Republican party.
Perhaps it is so, and perhaps not. But the fact that the insurgents voted for lower rates on the people in the income tax discussion is only one of many things which appear otherwise.
One who rejects the sort of political pap that is being put out by the mainstream merely "naughty" but is rather preventive Congress from playing hooky.
