U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kaiman aims to picture the undergraduate life of a student who worldly pursues the arts by standing for the rights to be ill, to be claerful; to be clean; to be charitable; to be moral. He faces serious problems to water hands all to serve the university and is able to fulfill the University's THURSDAY, MARCH 6, 1924 EVERYDAY RELIGION A week of concentrated religious discussion with the presence of Doctor Tittle as an inspiration will be of great benefit to the University without doubt; but, doesn't it seem a sad thing to contemplate, just a week of it, when, the cry of the present generation is a religion that can be used every day. Not a religion which is brought out only on Sundays and displayed with conscious self-righteousness, but a religion to be lived with and guided by is what is needed. The answer comes, "There is plenty of the Sunday religion." Yes, but too often those who help point the way to the seeker lose sight of it and he misses it to find himself still grazing in darkness. --face of what was known to be powerful opposition. Reaction usually sets in following a week of intensive religious endeavor. Why not make this occasion outstanding in that it leaves a precal, livable, daily religion as a part of student life at K. U.? Don't worry over who is going to lose in this oil investigation. This man who buys gasoline will find out soon enough. Speed New Olathe Road—headline And then we will read, Olathe road new speed. YEAR-AROUND SERVICE Some 1500 students are here in the summer. Summer is the season of many so-called minor illnesses, but the student hospital is not open ever to receive dispensary patients. Figures compiled by the hospital attendants show that the病房 could be kept open during the entire summer school session for only $1,486. This would necessitate the addition of $1 to the regular matriculation fee of each student. During the winter terms when more than three thousand students are enrolled, the hospital records show that, for the school year now in progress, more than six thousand dispensary cases, that some two hundred bed patients have received treatment and that ten major operations have been performed. These statistics show that the hospital is of great service to the students. If it can accomplish so much in the winter why would it not be a good thing to extend its benefits to the summer school students also? THE PENDULUM SWINGS BACK AGAIN For some time, an organization known as the National Liberal Alliance has been taking an unofficial vote throughout the country, sounding the opinion of the people on the liquor question. Out of 7,000,000 votes taken to date, 84 per cent favor a liberal modification of the existing prohibitory laws. Our present constitutional amendment, and the Volstead Act, stringent pieces of prohibition, were made laws by a group of legislators, doubtfully representative of their constituencies, under pressure of the emergencies of war, and the clamours of idealistic reformers. The rank and file of the American people were not consulted, or given a chance to express their opinion on the law; they were railroaded across the if taken fairly, from people in every community and in every walk of life—in short, from ALL, the people—as it is apparently attempting to do, this straw vote will be a most valuable expression of what the people really want. Really Wanted The principle of any prohibition is dogmatic, and because of its very mandatory nature calls for the opposition of any man who resents the infringing of what he regards as his just rights. What the nation needs is legislation which will install into the minds of the people ideals of a wholesome, intelligent temperance. Americans are naturally temperate; they cannot bear to see things done halfway. They either do a thing, or they don't, and that's all there is to it. And let them think their rights are being infringed upon by some dogmatic regulation, and preface three is opposition of the strongest kind, approaches religious or patriotic fanaticism in its vigor. the church. Congress realizes the general contempt for the prohibition laws, and its attendant chains of lawlessness which is apparently beyond hope of ultimate control. One law is now being considered, raising the alcoholic content permissible in beverages to 2.75 per cent; another would allow wine and cider of 10 per cent and beer of 4 per cent. These bills are愿意为了 foster an attitude on the part of the people of judicious temperance, rather than of blind, unquestioning worship of abor devogmas. --world's oil. We produce 70 per cent of the world's copper. We read that that "a virgin oil field has been discovered in Alaska that has as great possibilities as Teapot Dome" "Foem thing." So a future? Residents of Berlin find it cheaper to ride on suburban trains than to sit at home using fuel, which makes it evident that Germany will have difficulty in settling down. UNCLE SAM, CAPTAIN 06 INDUSTRY Undle Sam has become the world's greatest captain of industry. Here are the figures and facts: The United States has 6 per cent of the world's population. We own 7 per cent of the world's land. We grow 25 per cent of the world's wheat. We produce 33 per cent of the world's silver. We mine 40 per cent of the world's iron and steel and 20 per cent of the world's gold. We operate 40 per cent of the world's railroads. We dig 52 per cent of all the coat used in the world. We produce 65 per cent of the world's oil. We raise 60 per cent of all the output of the world. We heard a student remark the other day that he was going to suspend operations with food until he had his teeth fixed. In other words he was going to change his meal ticket into a dentist's check. If all students in K. U. would do today the things they intend to do tomorrow a holiday would be declared to give time for the professors to recuperate from the shock. We manufacture 85 per cent of all motor cars. The time of year has come when the discussion arises as to whether a hen sits or sets. But for economic importance it's much more important whether she lays or lies when she cackles. As usual, March will likely be divided equally between the lion and the rabbit. As yet it's undecided as to who gets the extra day. Official Daily University Bulletin Kansas City is planning an extensive campaign to advertise the city. Undoubtedly the criminal investigation route will be considered. Look what the United States is doing! President Coolidge is looking for a successor to Daugherty. Let us hope that the successor is a succeeder. BUDGET CONFERENCE The schedule of departmental budget conferences for Friday, March 7 Copy received at the Chancellor's Office until 11:00 a.m. Vol. III Thursday, March 6, 1924 No. 190 Plain Tales From The Hill 10 20 2013-07-28 E.

This question was asked in a discussion of the general features of the court. The Plain Tales Editor is getting discordate. For he posted a request for contributions. Whereupon the cubs got so clever that they made nine distinct clever witticisms about that posted request. Phrase from practice newspaper story: "Firing seven times at her altogether." We need some assistance in comparing anatomy on this. And while the cubs will admit they are humorous themselves, they apparently cannot see funny things at all. They do not make the plain tales box remaint empty. Answer from back of the room. Yes, marriage. She could give him the date, but was going to have company. Could he get two other men to help out? He did, one of the others saying he had a sprained ankle, in order that the company might bring along their car. He accordingly, with a wristband, and a delimiter. And the two women with the ear did not show up at the other house at all. The principle of the division of labor is being carried so far that one student in marketing said that about the only thing a man does all by himself now is to make his own brew. Prof. L. N. Flint is quoted as saying that some people are so artistic that they can get as artful if I lock it in a jar of yellow corn or others do from a cocktail. Some day students under one economics professor hope to see some one appear who will really make an "impression" on him that he will reis backed by a reputation of more than a quarter century, for style, quality and long, satisfactory service-at a reasonable price.

The students and alumni are making an effort, due to the number of the $500,000 necessary for construction. The stadium is to have a capacity that will be the same as the finest in the Southwest when completed. A formal opening of the new science hall of Tulane University was held Friday, Feb. 22. The reception of guests began at 10 a.m., with speaking program at 9:30. Refreshments and a dance concluded the program.

Monto Munn, former Nebraska football star, has filed as a candidate for the state legislature on the Republican ticket in that state Leon Trotzky may have a place on the Dartmouth faculty any time that he wants it, and Frank Cunningham will probably address the annual Dartmouth college, in Wisdom and Spring Clothes The man who wants to make every dollar buy the most clothes-value will be wise to do some thinking.
