Z5 and 66 The Daily Kaiman aims to picture the undergraduate from its inception, and also to further merge girages into the greges by standing for the idea of education. The graduate is taught to be; to be chairman; to be teacher; to be student; to be an employee; to serve serious problems to water hears; to all serve serious problems to ability he pursues at the University. WEDNESDAY, MARCH 12, 1924 HONOR...ARY Announcement was made this morning of the representative senior women who have been elected to membership of Torch chapter of Mortar Board, for the present year. As the honorary organization for senior women, it has aroused much interest among student groups. Torch is one of the few truly honorary organizations on the campus. The members are chosen for character rather than mere participation in activities, although the latter is often a means of expressing the leadership which is also a standard of membership. They are women who will leave the University better for having been here--better for that service which they have so readily given. Knowing the purpose of the University they have retained is essential for the same time expended [energy] for other things besides personal interests. Truly, Torch is an honorary organization in name and spirit. Torch is one of the organizations on the campus which is not controlled by party politics. The outgoing members and the faculty advisers select the new members, taking into consideration the recommendations of the senior women on the Hill. The House of Representatives is advised to keep "hands off" and not try to find the names of the two members against whom evidence is said to have been developed before a Chicago grand jury. It might be wise, for there are some four or five hundred names in that body. Too many students have Cadillac tastes on Ford allowances. HEATHENISM A mighty city towers its domes and spires toward the skies of Tibet, and in this secluded metropolis of fanatics, no Christian dog is allowed to enter. The ground is holy, and the culture of the ancestors demands that no brahminic hands touch the prayer mats of the famines. Better had a man been well-bearered than by the foul touch of foreign bands. Disease and five run rife in the streets of the prophet's city. It is a hell on earth. In America, a nightly political system hangs over the land with pounding power. It throws shadowy that are blacker than night, and casts all that is honest aside. The people fall on their faces before the god of greed and political blackmail. In their blindness they salute the idols of the system, and they rush to accept their wife plan of national mis-rule. It is a disgrace to the nation. The oriental city closes its door to all relief for its stricken masses. The Occidentals pity them, while they fail to see the wretchedness at home. The wish of a prophet is their law, and the whim of a politician is the law of our nation. A weige will be driven into the heart of the city of fanatics to bring modern science and aid to the backward zealism. It will be a long slow process. Likewise a change will be made in the political system of the United States. The west moves faster than the east. Let us hope that the time is not far off, and the Teapid Dome did some good after all. LENT Last Wednesday the Christian church of the world entered upon the observance of the Lenten season. The followers of Jesus could hardly perform a better service to the religion which He founded than to declare a trace in the controversies over non-essentials which have been going on for months past. The Christian religion is rally a simple thing. It is embodied in the Golden Rule, the Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount. Little outside of these is needed for human guidance. What a man believes is less important than what he does. Lent seems a fitting time for the controversialists to take stock and find just where they stand in regard to the important facts of Christian-ire. "Morons Are Ambitious" - headline. It would be more common to read "Morons are Ambitious." Three thousand two hundred women recently played cards at the same time in the largest card party ever held. The prizes were eight hundred pieces of cut glass. Cut glass assemblers were also given to each husband who chirped not nor had wrathful thoughts. “PAGING SPRING” Some like the damp smell of fresh things growing. Others long for the tiredness which comes with physical exertion. Still others enjoy the deep quiet and peace of the spring woods. But whatever their motives, few students are there who fail to enjoy hiking in the spring. When Friday night comes, there is an inreestible something, that something so often read about in novels but never clearly defined, which draws one into his hiking clothes and starts him toward the country roads. The smell of steak roasting on a stick, and the sound of escaping juices sizzing in the flames. The pungent and tantalizing odor of coffee—the moon rising over the top of new-leafed trees—the dead quiet of wine from the crackling flames and a very gentle breath. Refreshing—and restful—and one—everyone hates to return. But the date rule! Ladies and gentlemen: the world is reforming—Effie Cherry is candid date for mayor in her town. HONOR IN ALL An honor system in the University is usually thought of as referring only to cheating in quizzes. The significance is broader than that. Why should one be honorable in quizzes but have no hesitation in using someone's notebook outside of class. Or breaking one data in favor of a possibly more entertaining or expensive one? Or lying to a kindly professor about an absence? Or any of the thousand and one little acts which are committed on the campus thoughtlessly but daily? They certainly cannot be called honorable. Why not include there then in our conception of a sense of honor and not make the honor system a fine cloak to be damned only when one takes a quiz? "Prune recipes Prepared" — head- ing the spring onslaught of boarding house strawberries is about to commence. Experimenters recently claimed they sent thought waves over the radio. This thing has to be stopped somewhere or some people won't have a friend in the world. Plain Tales From The Hill Star and uniform were all that was necessary to the dog that was acting as traffic police. The dog was acting as Chemistry hut and the Commons the other day, One of K. U.'s graduates was crambling the other day about the students who fail to tear down posters from the bulletin board when they are out of date. He said he spent an hour reading the stuff one day, only to discover that it all happened in December. The man slept on a sleeping porch. He woke up, and thought he heard his bumble challenge him to a race Official Daily University Bulletin CONVOCATION: There will be an all-university convocation at 10 o'clock Thursday, March 13th, in Robinson Gymnasium.
