U. 25 and 68 The Daily Kaiman always to picture the undergraduate from whom he also learns rather than merely training the age by standing for the female audience; to be seen; to cheer; to be helped MONDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1924 THE JAYHAWKER A university annual is just as good or just as bad as the student body makes it. Its essential nature is that of a mirror, and there is no way to evade that fact. It reflects the interest or the apathy, the support or the neg'ect of the university as a whole, not merely of the editors and the staff. Only 1200 Jayhawkers have been ordered by students this year. At the University of Missouri, Savitar orders total 2200. No Kanan will admit that the Savitar has ever been a better annual than the Jayhawker, but no one who understands the situation can deny that the contrast in the support given at the two schools will inevitably result in a contrast in quality. The 1924 dayhawker will be a good annual whether another order is received or not; but future dayhawkers cannot be planned on so meritorious a scale unless this year's staff receives more assurance of support. A final campaign for orders is being conducted. The students of the University of Kansas have one last opportunity to show what kind of an annual they want. TO THE RESCUE Trotky is said to be suffering from weakened heart action, bronchial tuberculosis, stomach trouble,—probably a gastric ulcer, and general debility. With these few exceptions he is reported to be in good health. The young folks of today are making a record-breaking run for the Predition Bow-wows. Practically all the older generation are thoroughly convinced of it and they do not hesitate to say it. As the subject for discussion at club-meetings it has proved invaluable—but the discussion has invariably been on one side of the question. Only of late have a few daintiest spirits come to the aid of the young people. In a magazine of recent date, it is stated that the critics are unduly possessive. It goes on to say that changed social customs have brought new forms of indulgence and pleasure-seeking, but these changes have not made the college students of today morally inferior to those of a century ago. They are also, it states setting higher requirements for them selves than ever before and by this constructive policy far more religious good will be accomplished. Another periodical shows that a religious survey was made of eighty state institutions. Out of the 152,600 students enrolled, 130,500 had religious affiliations. Now compare these figures with religious statistics of the days when young folks were not causing their elders the worry that they are today. From 1787 to 1782 there was but one professor of religion at Princeton. At Bowdin college in 1807 there was but one Christian. At this same time at Yale there was but one Christian for a period of several years. Many of the students became the leading infidels and athletes of the country. Often every student was outside the Church, although the colleges were-Church institutions. While church membership in its if will not entirely free the students of today from the barge, of criticism that is being directed toward them still it is a weighty point in their favor. TRUTHFUL S. R. O. Occasionally the citizens of Lawrence are fortunate enough to be favored with a really worth while production at the local play house. But whenever a metropolitan show comes to town it seems to bring metropolitan box-office tactics with it. Persons who call at the office for tickets in a certain section of the house are very often told that that particular section is all sold out. But there always seems to be plenty of seats in a higher priced section. The patron does the obvious thing, unless his better judgment really functions, and he buys the higher priced tickets. It happens, just as often, that someone who calls later will be given seats in the sections the first patron asked for. On one occasion six individuals were sold "the last ticket in the house." The psychology of such tactics is not good. The patrons of the theater in this city do not need the artificial stimulus of a supposed run on the box-office to cause them to purchase tickets. If the show is good they will attend. A bride in Brooklyn doesn't remember just what she promised at her marriage ceremony but thinks it should have been a promise to love humor and obey. WILL IT WORK? That old saying "they'll work a free horse to death" could never be more exemplified than in the life of a university student. The student who successfully carries out one duty is forthwith asked to do another, and then another and another. He comes to be known as dependable—one of the highest compliments that can be paid a person,—but with this reconlcnion added responsibilities. When a chairman for a financial drive is needed the organiser has to let George do it. When some advertising is to be solicited George is again called on. And the more he is asked to do. Before he realizes it he is practically bearing the burden of a number of the Hill organization to which he belongs. His lessons must be kept up or he will be insigible for student activities, so he burns the candle 'till the few small hours. Each duty he accepts he vows will be the last,—but it's so hard to say 'no.' The women on the Hill have for some little time been using the point system to eliminate the evil of overburdening one person. Each office is evaluated at a given number of points, and a maximum of points that a person may possess each year is s.t. After that limit is reached the system is accepted. The Constitution of the Associated Men as adopted at the mass meeting last week contains the same point-ystem plan. It is to be hopid it will work as well with the men as it has with the women. --the carnival will be held at Montreal, Feb. 23 to March 1. Although they only placed second at Darmouth last year, when the second half of the carnival was held later at Montreal, McGill won with little trouble. As to accepting a nomination some men would, only they would rather you'd think they wouldn't. After having completed one year of a six-year jail sentence Gandhi the twentieth century Hindu Saint has been released. GANDHI IS OUT This has been one of the humanitarian and far sighted acts of the labor government in England. Gandhi, never very strong, has become a wreck in health during the period of his incarceration. There is little chance that he will regain his health. Official Daily University Bulletin Had he died in prison, he would have become a martyr in the eyes of three hundred million people in India and to many admirers outside of India His death would have been considered by the Hindus as big a crime as the crucifixion of Jesus Christ The action of the labor government will go to convince the millions that the people of England—the majority of them anyway—were not a party to this attempt at the killing of Gandhi This may, perhaps, less its bitterness towards England. This inexperienced labor government seems to be blundering in the right direction, even if she is blundered at all.

Book Review What better field than Kansas for the story of romantic adventure against the historical background does a novelist need? What better person than one who has been a part of the history of the world does such an author? "The Kansan" "The Kanan" is a dramatic account of life in pioneer days and after. In following the experiences of the characters in the book, their ambitions, their courage, their loves and hates, the reader feels that he has passed through events of a time more trying to men's souls than the conditions of our century but not less productive of worthy manhood Mack Cretcher, author of "the Kanman," (Dorrance, 2)$ was for many years a considerable figure in Kanas journalism. Though now in the position of editor-in-chief he colleagues of the press regard him as one of their own number. He may write novels, intericting novels like "The Kanman." if he will, but newspaper men will consult him back in the editorial chair. Of all the dwellers in Bison City, Jim Brandon, about whom the action of the plot is developed, stands out as the best piece of charting. He is also one of the most crucial tests of his soul were such as Mr. Cretchet, or any newspaper editor, knows about from first hand experience. That he won his good light career in life, even in life, though it is plain that he will have many more fights to make against corruption and hypocrisy and that his ability to live happy ever after will be due to his courage in the midst of struggle. On Other Hills From the very beginning the bool thrills with dramatic incidents that hold the reader as far into the night is necessary to finish the last race. Joseph Maddock, assistant coach at the University of Michigan, has been appointed coach for the University of Oregon football team. L. M. T. Seventeen men at the Colorado Agriculture College may lose football balls and sweaters for breaking training rules. Clean cut admission and apologies came from all who had anything to say about men he had nothing to say, and they were recommended to receive their awards. In an effort to arouse athletic support at the University of Utah, the formation of an athletic association has been planned by the National Association made a letter in either a major or minor sport are eligible to membership. At a "Farmer's Week" recently held at Ohio State University, the total attendance on the third day reached 3,500. The governor of Ohio spoke at several meetings, and the变性者集中到他 for their meetings, and the entire student body was on its toes to make the visitors feel at home. The exceptionally large number of freshmen that failed in the English composition course at the University of Indiana, the first semester, is causing great stress to the department. The number was so great that the Men's Pan-Hellenic Association passed a resolution, and then repeated it2 to eliminate successful completion of the course, a prerequisite to initiation into the Greek letter fraternities. Hat pins, the old stand-by as a women's weapon may be superseded by parasols among the women at the Ohio State University. The new school of fencing at that place has been opened to women students and the instructors at that when they finished the course they may venture armed with a parasol past the darkest alley without experiencing any chills. The University of Missouri has purchased 200 copies of the Savitar, the Missouri annual publication, which will be sent to the various state in an effort to interest high school students in the university. The ski and snowshoe team of McGill University, Montreal, Canada, has entered the annual winter course at SUNY Buffalo. In Hanover, N. H., The second half of PROF. EDWARD KURTZ Thirty thousand students enrolled in the University of Moscow this fall. They go with no of where to study, but come from the laboring classes they are sure of a bed in the pre-revolutionary dormitories. The intellectuals are not nearly every student is working his way through school. They work in the day time and study at night, and they open until its oclock in the evening. There is so little happiness happy, And so little truth that is true; There is so little anny that is snappy. So seldom are niewieses new. WHAT'S THE USE? "There's a little good that is goodness. And so little evil that is wrong. There's a little fun that is funny. And so little fun that is song." There's so little losing that loses And so little beating that beats. where's so little honesty honest, There's so little cheating that cheats; There's so little love that is loving. There are so few weddings that wed; So few of the live ones are living. So few of the dead ones are dead. So few prohibitions prohibit. So selldom successes succeed; but why carry this any further? But why carry this any further When there are so few readers who read? Rea!n —Carolyn Wells in Saturday Evening Post.
