The Daily Kernel now allows to picture the underground with a rather thinner printing surface than before by standing for the cloudside view. To be clear, it should be to clean; to be careful to be exposed to the elements and to avoid serious problems to water heads; to all serve to the best of its ability the underground.

Lying lips are abstraction to the Lord; but they that deut truly are his delight.—Prov. xII, 22.
VENI, VIDI, VICI
The Jayhawk reigns supreme at the end of the 1924 basketball season. Life for Kansas to be one valley championship after another, football, basketball, indoor track, baseball, and now another basketball championship!
The season is over, with Kansas at the top, boasting a record of fifteen games won, and one lost. Formidableoes, athletic rivals, at home and abroad, were met and conquered.
All honor is due the players, the coaches, and the student body whose loyal support made victory possible.
The League of Nations is working out a pension system for its employees. One wonders now how long a man can argue before he will be pensioned.
CULTURE IN VERSE
The charge has often been made that college students are growing more and more disinterested in art questions of the *day*, and cultural topics in general, and that they are even ashamed to admit an interest in them. The charge has as often been denied, and neither side has proved its case.
At any rate, the seeking after culture has not abated in the University of Kansas, as is evidenced by the many literary societies, departmental clubs and discussion groups which are active throughout the year, ministering to the desire of students for general refinement.
Poetry, for instance, lns long been regarded as a non-essential—a division for old maids, school teachers, and others of supposedly sentimental dispositions. Few persons are expected, even rarely, to go so far as to write poetry, unless deranged in some way by love, spring sunshine or winter moonshine.
But in K. U. there is a group of virile young people who are un ashamed to write verse and study contemporary poets of note. Wit them it is merely a case of ignoring popular whim for the gaining of something of the spark of poetic in spiration that has helped lift the souls of men through all the ages.
Silence may be golden but the public lecturer makes his gold just the same, in other ways.
ALL-VALLEY TEAMS
ALL-VALLEY TEAMS
Only a few months ago the common question among the spoff fans was, "who have you picked for the all-vallley football team?" That队 was picked and apparently everyone was, satisfied.
For the past several weeks one of the down-town stora has been running a guessing contest to see what lucky person could pick the all-balley basketball team. That will soon be over and then what will there be to talk about?
The next sport in line is the much talked about "national sport," baseball. Why not an all-valley baseball team? The common cry in most all schools is "more interest in baseball." If there was an all-valley team picked at the end of the season wouldn't that tend to create interest in the game?
in the game.
It book is no more than fair that the
player who plays college baseball
should have a chance to make the
honor of being picked as one of the
all-valley team, just the same as the
men who play football or basketball.
WHY
Why does not the University make some effort to relieve the congestion of Spooner library? Hours each day are wanted by the students in waiting for assistance from library attendants in obtaining the books or references desired. There are not enough attendees in Spooner library for the busy hours of the evening. Why is it necessary for the departmental libraries to be closed in the evenings? Does the University not have enough funds to allow these libraries kept open until 10 p. m. Would not the departmental libraries relieve the crowded congestion of Spooner and greatly aid the students in their reading, if they were open in the evenings?
Political campaigners will be charged $10 a minute for broadcasting their speeches. And probably all will begin, "I am a man of few words."
Ireland's banks are prosperous but the poor peasants still have to eat potatoes.
--team. Coach Lundgren has an actual baseball diamond marked off in the armory where practice is held.
CHANGE NOT!
No matter how just the decision and how honest and fair the judge, till the one-man judge system will eldom satisfy both the contesting cams and the audience in any debate.
The first debate at K. U. to be judged by this new system took place Friday night in Fraser chapel, K. U. was defeated. Not that we doubt or question in the least the sincerity and honesty of the judge, still our team would no doubt have felt more satisfied with the decision had there been three judges rendering a unanimous decision against them, and the opposing team would be more proud to have carried home three favorable votes instead of one. It's just human nature.
In this one-man-judge system entirely different decisions are likely to result than if the old system were used. The one judge may be of the opinion that delivery is the important thing to be considered in a debate, or, on the other hand, he may think that composition or thought are the most vital. His decision will no doubt be influenced by some of his personal beliefs. If there were three judges a compromise would result and the team having on the average the better delivery, the better thought and composition would receive the decision.
The judging of a contest of any kind has always been more or less criticized but after the debate the other night public opinion seems to favor three judges in place of one.
ON TO CHAMPIONSHIPS
Almost as interesting to K. U., as the last two games of the Jayhawker squad was the basketball game Friday night between the Hillary five and the K. C. A, C. national champions. And how gratifying were the results, for it was looked upon as a Kansas victory over Missouri.
To DeBerlandi, a former Kaneen went the credit for the driving power that brought the K. C. A, C. teams to defeat. But close in the battling were our "Long John" Wulf and famous George Roy. Four of the defasted team were former Tigers. K. U. looks with pride on the noble feat of her former athletes and hopes to see the national champions for 1924 prove to be the Hillaryara from St. Joseph.
Germany is revealing her dye secrets to the British and England magnanimously agrees to share the profits.
It takes more than an alarm clock to make some people rise to the occasion.
The Hall of Fame is suited to the freshman who the other day, having been asked to spell the adjective "in-incugrous," solemnly and carefully spelled "in C-n-g-r-e-n-s."
A Chicago scientist would place tea on the list of forbidden beverages. Well, the old ladies will not be the only ones to suffer, consider the poor tea-hound.

1924 Tennis Equipment Now Ready.
Boosewalt, the shy awkward boy, held back by ill health, and kindly, by poor eyesight—unwilling that is! Yet in his writings, he tells us, that as a boy, quite unknown to himself, he was under a fearful disadvantage—he was nearsighted. Properly fitted glasses opened up a new world for him.

They're wearing toopats longer this Spring. The new styles are very obviously new—noticeably different. That's why your last year's topcap won't do—especially if you're the sort of fellow who feels conscious of "out of the fashion" clothes.
