The Daily Kannon aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Chennai and to inform the news by standing for the ideal students. It is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be serious in matters of water, food, to all its airs to the body of the ability to respond to the environment.
SUNDAY, MAY 4.1924
THE PRICE OF PURLICTY
THE PRICE OF PUBLICITY The tennis courts are closed today so is the baseball field. They will probably be closed every Sunday, or at least until J. Fuller Gloom becomes managing editor of Hot Dog, and Van gets the Republican nomination for president.
And here, in substance but with much less diplomatic gravity, is what the athletic department has to say for its latest blue law: A visitor comes to the campus. If he happens to come on Sunday, if it happens to be a nice, pleasant Sunday, and if there happens to be a few students on the diamond or tennis courts, and if the visiter happens to want to see the stadium, why then he will also see the students on enjoying themselves. Now if the visitor happens to be a concrete pillar, reinforced with corrugated iron of the Methodist church, he may murmur sarcastically, "Remember the Sabbath Day and keep it wholly," and mediate ruefully all the way back to Whippinf Hollow on the pitfalls which await the innocent youth who goes to college.
How fortunate it is that Mr. Blue-nose never wants to visit the country club on Sunday. If he could hear a pedagogical invective as some un-liucky professor slices into the creek on the fourth hole, or see the most un-Sabath-like exultation of a dean shaking in a foot putt, he would be convinced that the University is indeed a lost cause.
Perhaps the athletic board was right. Perhaps the displeasure of a very few, incurred by allowing students to openly enjoy themselves in wholesome sport, will do more harm to the university than the recreation will benefit the students. But we don't think so.
But as the situation remains, the idea is to keep out of sight. The sin is not in breaking the Sabath-it is in being caught at it. For administration does not love the welfare of the students less; it loves more the opinion of a scant minority. But that is the price of publicity.
SPRING
The Kansas sings of spring as is customary with all good newspapers. Spring has arrived with all its glory. The leaves are greener, the sky is bluer, and the dandelion crop promotes to make 20 gallons to the nery. Here and there over the landscape, poetic souls trip over the lee shouting and singing from the joy of living. The Jayhawker has flown upon the campus, the final lysis looms in the offing, and the stadium is once more filled with loving couple who look at the mellow moon and then creep slowly homeward to make a belated entry into the house by means of the fire escape. Yes, spring is here.
The darker side of life also appears with the lighter. Spring fever arrives to steal into the soul of the man and change him into a loafer, Like the Grecian philosopher he longs to carry his tub with him and flop at every hesitation, for it is, indeed, hard to keep awake. The class lecture bears the torments of a thousand plagues, and the quiz is like the iliac. It blooms everywhere. Life loses its serious aspect. Like Caesar on the Nile, the student is ready to depart and leave the finishing touches to Anthony.
But though we hurl insinuations from the lofty ports of Green hall, though we chirp in the hidden recesses of Center Ad., pick up the job hill and send our lazy way to Marvin
hall, or gallop over the sticks in Robinson gym, we are all in the same boat. To graduate or pass the course means to brace and face the music. No reward comes walking down the avenue for the looter. The final heat is on.
THE EDUCATOR SPEAKS
Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler is the president of Columbia in New York. Naturally, one cannot roam the wilde of New York long without seeing the purple noses of the chronic alcoholic, and the good doctor has viewed the worshirp at the throne of John B. long enough to appreciate a good drunkard when he sees one. In fact his vision is distorted, therefore the educator sees in New York City a sweet-faced virgin holding up her hands in her holy terror to the evil of drink and bake in the occupation of swirling wings.
The rural communities are hope
lessly wet, says the doctor. Probibl
tion has failed and the eighteenth
amendment is a failure, if we are to
believe the gentleman of Columbia,
Dr. Butler announces that he is going
to bat against prohibition, but he
fails to recall that only one in ten
who go to the plate bring home a
winning run, to say nothing of
getting to first base. The doctor
plans to carry his fight into the Rep
ublican party. What a wonder the
doctor is. Are we not taught to
revere and almost worship these
great men who advance to the head
of bugs educational institutions?
A lot of fanatics and boobs on the
campus will follow the leader in his
hopesell fight. The wets will hold
their sides in glee, while John B.
kicks a slat out of his coffin. But
here at Kansas we do not glory in
the bloued face, the wrecked head,
or the gutter bed. We prefer to
raise wheat rather than hang up
records for consuming the largest
quantity of beer. To us, Dr. Butler
is just another good man gone wrong.
We are not angels and we have our
boottlegers, but ninety-five per cent
of us can live without a hot tiddy
every morning for breakfast. You see we have no jalep tradition to defend.
THE SEASON REVIEWED
THE SEASON HEADER
A few thousand years from now inventions will have made the world a strange place. The power of electrified air will make it possible to get instantly from one part of the earth to the other. Housewives will fry their eggs on the equator, and then press the button and arrive at the north pole where they will take the morning milk off of the ice. A trip to Mars will be considered a short journey. The natives of this climate will live in the best climate during the day and hurt themselves through the air to the Canadian forests for a comfortable night of sleep. Electrified air will have a magnetic power on all humans. Every place will have a wave length. All one will have to do is to press the button, tune in on his destination, and pretend he will find himself there.
Milton told us that Saturn fell for seven days through space before he hit solid footing. We wonder why he had to travel so far, but who ever bummed Satan had an eye on future inventions. He did not want the old boy any closer than he, especially when one can dance on the beach of Hula in the evening, and see "The Old Soak" later on in Gotham. It will be a simple life for our successors upon the earth. All will have to do is to hike to a sunny elk, stretch out under a pineapple tree and kick down their breakfast the next morning.
But the old folk will say one thing to the youthful Valentine or flapper of that day. It will be these words, "Why don't you sit up and take notice of the greater things of life." The young people will flip merrily off to Mercury to get some filling for the thermometer with a quip about old fogy ideas. Thus if goes through the ages. The stone butte man caunts their offspring by bouncing a flint skirt off their heads, the modern parent shakes the warning finger, and the future parent will threaten with the electric calorie condenser. The youth will rush headlessly on.

At The Concert
(Dorothy D. Dillaway)
The greatest oratorio of the centuries. Handsel's "The Messiah," was presented by the Lawrence Choral Union, Friday night, in Robinson gymnasium, under the direction of Dean D. M. Swartwhout.
It was a well-balanced chorus which gave a majestic performance, assisted by four soloists of great ability: Mrs. Ethel Benedict, soprano; Mrs. Elisabeth Heyden, tenor; Mr. Arthur Kraft, tenor; and Mr. Burton Thatcher, bass. The choir was accompanied by the Kansas University symphony orchestra, which added sonority to the tonal mass and gave sufficient foundation to the bass
The chorus' performance is remarkable because of its achievement
in obtaining the precision of attack, careful and gradual diminution, attention to the accuracy of pitch and clearness of enunciation, so important to the listening public. When the chorus augmented in tone one could almost imagine the swelling notes of a great pipe organ. All the sorrow involved in the sound of the Sea would be the most poignant experience of each individual believer singing with his greatest depth of feeling.
There was ample variety in the chournas which usually seem monotonous. When the Halluujiah was given the audience rose, according to the custom established since the first performance of the Messiah in Covent Garden. The hearers of the concert could not have failed to be moved by the great obequence and amazing performances by White to a Child
Such choruses as "Unto Us a Child
In addition to GOLDEN STATE LIMITED
Ia Born" demonstrated the ability of the chair to perform florid passages, giving an antiphonal effect, chair in motion until it united the final clam.

The weightiness of tone in the lower voices which has been a problem in many choruses seems to have been no obstacle to the finished execution which the chorus showed in the final version, in form and idea, of which full expression and interpretation calls for considerable mastery in the curbing of power. The tones were at once rich and subtuted. There was an effort to achieve unity of tone with the quality always the same. Even the technical difficulties so numerous in the music of the oratorio, we were overcome. There was no poverty of power in any secrecy or in the voice of the soloist.
One left the concert impressed with the appeal made by the fervent love and sturdy faith of those who have devoted their energy to singing the Messiah, celebrating the Christ, that the story of His life might live again in the hearts and minds of those who came to hear.

IT'S THE CUT OF YOUR COUNTs
The loose two button suit $50
Here is the Boulevard, the season's smart cut in the loose, easystyle. The shoulders broad and square,the coat somewhat short; straight, wide trousers. The Cornell is similar in effect, but cut a trifle closer to the body. We have both models in fabrics that make up especially well in this style—the rougher woolens; powder blues, greys, in various patterns and plain shades.
