The Daily Kaman news is picture- the undergraduate life at the University of Pittsburgh, where she publishes the news by standing for the ideas of those universities; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be smart; to be more serious problems to water hands; to be more serious problems to water heads; to be more serious problems to water hands; to be more serious problems to water hea

CAN'T I MAMA?
Doctors of the old school used to apply politices indiscriminately to cure human ailments. Legislators of the present day, national, state, and student, plaster on laws quite as indiscriminately and then plausibly consider all forms of social and industrial ills removed.
The invasions with which laws are applied is equalled only by the blind worship accorded them after they are established. the nation and the state, however, realize somewhat that a law is by no means justified by the mere fact that it has been passed. It is possible and not considered wild anarchy to amend or even repeal laws.
But not so in the University of Kansai. To the optimist's assertion that this is the best of all possible worlds, a certain group of students add "and existing rules are Right."
"Self-government" evidently is to be considered a process of addition—never, oh never, of subtraction. The date rule by its very nature can't be enforced. Well, then, plaster on another law' and think up some new names to call those who admit what everybody knows.
Venture to suggest that mistakes might have been made, and they hiss "bolshevist!" The W. S. G. A. make mistakes? Ridiculous! Everybody may know that the date rule is a fare, but to say so publicly seems a Hildite indicate to the Orthodox mind
Talk about black eyes - how about the man who fights his way to the top in the Olympic boxing try-outs in Kansas City today?
BOOKS ARE KILLING US?
Books, millions of them; hundreds of thousands of different kinds of books—our homes are full of them our libraries exist because of them and our educational system is totally dependent upon books.
Yet Anatole France, octogenarian,
philosopher, and peer among authors,
has this to say of the book-warm:
"Those who read many books are an opium-enters. They live in a dream. The subtle poison which penetrates their brains makes them insensitive to the real world and prey to terrible or beautiful fantasies—Books are killing us. We have too many of them, of too many kinds. Men lived for ages without reading anything, and those were the days in which they passed from barbarianism to civilization. They were with out books, but were not without poetry and philosophy."
So according to Antoine France, a great many of us are on a sort of literary jag. It seems strange that he can claim, in this reactive age, that books destroy our insight and warp our perspective, for now our libraries hold realism for idealism, comedy for tragedy, radicalism for conservatism. Scarcely can there be found a printed statement for which another cannot be discovered in direct opposition. The trouble is that we do not strive to see both sides.
THE OLYMPICS
Once more the sport lovers of the territory surrounding Lawrence will email aboard the rattlers to journey to Lawrence to see the best athletes strive for a berth on the American Olympic team. There is something about the University of Kansas that calls for the best in sports, and it is a feather in the hat of the University
to be chosen as the proper place for
be treats to be held.
The track is one of the best in the country, the management is skilled in handling crowds and meets, and the student body can co-operate for a successful event. It is up to us to start the Olympic talk right now. The directors of the great athletic pageant did not give us the honor of entertaining the greatest athletes of this section for nothing. They had confidence in the University and we cannot afford to betray that confidence.
The finals will be in full sailing when the try-outs are held at the stadium field, but to miss this event will be to miss seeing the athletes that will have a more than good chance of getting to Paris this summer as the nation's prize. The Olympics stand as one of the greatest elements for unification of international good-will ever designed by man. Contests of might are noted for their clean sportmanship.
It is our privilege to do more for the Olympics than any other school in this district, and such an honor can not be taken lightly. Much of the success of the American team depends upon the success of the men who will contest in the Stadium May 20 and 31. It is up to Kansas to prove herself again.
There are some of us who cannot remember the stacks of books in Spooner library with tears. Familiar breeds contempt.
An inter-frauenity ball game is like a cat fight. There is more noise than action.
On Other Hills

College women, as a rule, live longer than their less highly educated sisters. A study covering the mortality experience of 15,561 women graduates from college, showed at age 25 that life expectancy was only 3.25 per 1000. Between 25 and 34 years, the death rate was 2.77 per 1,000.
