U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kaiman aims to picture the undergraduate student on a path further than mere printing the name by standing for someone not their favorite. To be clean; to be cheerful; to be serious; to be curious; to be serious problems to their hair; to have serious problems to their ability; to the number of the University. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 20, 1924 These Olympic try-outs must be a "real big thing." We see by the Kansas City Times that the final try-outs will be held in Harvard Stadium, Boston. It takes something "big" to have Harvard move her stadium from Cambridge to Boston. EVERYBODY OUT! Tongtai a group of the men of the University will meet in the chemistry lecture room to conceive the proposed new constitution. The new constitution is worthy of the consideration of every man in the University. In some ways it is a great improvement over the one now in effect, which is complicated with by-laws, articles, and amendments in the constitution proper. The best constitution, perhaps is the simplest, whit the details left for the by-laws, but the good provisions of the present constitution should be included there. If direct legislation, possible only in a limited group, is desirable, the new provisions of referendum, recall, and mass meetings for the consideration of legal are good. But if only a few students will attend these meetings, allowing a clique to control affairs of student government, the plan may not be feasible. THE FRASER FLAG Every man of the University ought to be there and express his views if he is at all interested in campus citizenship. THE FRASER FLAG In tribute to the memory of the late ex-President Wilson, the flag on Fraser hall is at half-mast, which is as it should be. But why, oh why, that particular flag? Time was when the flag in question was a thing of beauty, stirring all who heild it to loyalty and patriotism, but its best days are over and it now presents a sorry spectacle, mere shadow of its former self. We hope we are not lacking in the proper veneration for old age. On the contrary, we suggest that the flag be given a long rest as a reward for its long service. Why not place it in Dyche museum with the rest of the antiques? The presidential election year, being Leap Year, the office should certainly seek the man. Or women should seek office. VANISHING EYE-SORES Merchants of Kansas City are agreeing to remove all overhead signs that are at present cluttering up the city. They, themselves, are growing tired of those eye-sores, and want them removed even more bad than the remaining citizens seems to, for it is the merchants who are pushing legislation to have them forbidden. In themselves, some of these signs are not disagreeable and a few even approach the artifact,—but imagine the joy of being able to go downwards without being reminded of all the brands of coffee you have never tried, and that "such and such brown" is the best and that a theater you can't afford is offering an especially good hit this week. If other communities follow the example of Kauai City, soon the last few porabling signs will deserve to be commemorated in a novel, as were "This List of the Mālians." Some people lift and think. Other tops lift. THE OUTSIDE-READING EVIL One of the factors which makes the burden of the student all the more heavy is the insufficiency of library facilities; or rather, the failure of some instructors to take into consideration this insufficiency. With some 'professors', the assigning of outside-reading seems to be a "hobby." After spending the period lecturing in a general vein, such a professor will assign a large group of library references to be reported on at the next meeting of the class. All well and good if there are enough of the assigned books on reserve in the library to accommodate all of the members of the class, but often is not the case. Many students are working part of the time or are carrying heavy courses, so that there are only certain times during the day when they can do their library work. If the books they need are all in use at these times, they are just "out of luck," that's all. If the books were on the reserve shelves, it is no use to try to check them out over-night, for it can't be done. And so these students appear in class the next day without their assignment; they have already begun to fall behind in the work, and through no fault of their own. The idea of having students "dig out" their data for themselves is a good one under favorable conditions. However, an instructor should be sure that he has a sufficient number of reference books on reserve to "grow around," and he should allow plenty of time for all the students to do the required outside reading. The designation of this week as Truth Week, although official, has had little visible effect on some of our campus Ananlaces. A description of a tea in four words: Giggle, gabble, gobble, git. PAY YOUR DEBT TO K. U. The freshmen are now at home on our campus. They're well on the way toward learning the way of the world, as they only a University can teach it. The first semester,—that period of strangeness and curiosity for them—has passed. We are now on the first lap of the second semester and all those who entered last fall with a feeling of being so unnecessary and so insignificant in our large institution, may now be classed as college men and women insofar as their length of stay is concerned. Saxophone Player to Suffer—headline. Why not, he makes others undergo pain. They are now fully initiated into all the mysteries of University life. They're just beginning to get the thrill out of college. Now is the time for them to start in earnest to render to K. U. as nearly as possible the proper amount of service in return for what she will render them. Few are selfish enough to want to take all that is to be obtained and give nothing in return. There's no better time than the present to go out for some school activity or other. There are opportunities in the deceased field, in the dramatic field, in athletics, in literary organizations and many other groups. It is in these extra-curricular activities that you can do something for your Alma Mater, something that will make her proud of you and at the same time will keep her ranked with the leading universities of the country. It's the least you can do for old K. U. in recompense for what she is doing for you. The Doodle Bug says there is ail behind Haworth Hall. If so, maybe the Union building has been built.

On Other Hills The University of Minnesota's new $100,000 library will be ready for occupancy sometime between the middle of October and no definite arrangements have as yet been made for the formal dedication of the building.

The books, which are valued at more --than $60,000, fill 750 large packing cases and are for the present being kept in these cases because of lack of space in the library.

A.U.Hall Thursday Night, Feb.21 LOST IN THE WOODS Experienced woodmen say that when a man gets lost in the forest he usually travels round and round in a circle. Up-to-date shoppers make up their minds what they are going to buy before they leave the house. They know exactly what they want, how much they want to pay, and just where they will find the right goods at the right prices. 'To them shopping is a pleasure. That is just the way some folks shop. They hit the buying trail, stray from it a bit, and before they are aware of the fact, they are lost—wandering in a maze of counters—gradually growing weiser and weierer—and finally get back home mentally and physically tuckered out without having accomplished much. These modern shoppers read the Kansan advertisements carefully and regularly. They find that the advertisements save them steps, bother, trouble and time. Let The Daily Kansan advertisements guide you. That's their job.
