The Daily Kaman aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, who are then more willing printing the news by attending for the ideals the institution promotes to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to be creative; to have more serious problems to water leaks; in all, to serve to the university and to support the students of the University.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1920
"Nobody knows what the nose knows"—this quotation comes from a rooming house where the influenza-postered boys spent Thursday playing "nosey poker."
DON'T MIX
The University and city health authorities last Wednesday ordered a complete cessation of all social functions on account of the danger of an influenza epidemic. Wednesday night one of the city health authorities visited a sorority house, selected by chance, and there discovered a "regular party" of more than a dozen counties enjoying themselves.
This was not exactly a violation of the letter of the order as each of the men visitors had merely come to see one girl, but the gathering was unjudicious, from a standpoint of hygiene at least. The students should not thus act selfishly, when a question of the welfare and health of the entire university is affected.
The city health authorities, as a result of this investigation, have threatened to quarantine any fraternities or sororites caught in further violation of the order. Guards will be put on the houses quarantined, so the women will suffer more than the men. The men of the university in justice to their honor cannot subject the women to such danger of punishment.
In regard to Irish Home Rule—the Irish appear to rule the homes when only one member is Irish.
IN REGARD TO COKES
A blow at the very vitals of campus democracy and courtesy is contained in the latest ultimatum from the camp of General H. C. L., threatening increased prices on all the various dispensations of good cheer put forth from the soda fountains of our university city.
"Blessed be the tie that binds" has been the cry of the imbecile students of the Hill, as their friends generously invited them within the confining of the candy kitchens to partake of the cheering fluids and satisfying refreshments therein dispensed, but if cokes are set across the counter at a dime each, and the cheap oair坐具 the purchaser back twenty cents, only plutocrats and the Hill politicians will "set em up" to an admiring circle of friends. The "fusser" will be compelled to get engaged to the women they are rushing to be able to pass up the enticing connectionaries on their way home after the dance or movie.
The "coke fiends"—sustaining themselves through gruelling and drowning days of classes by frequent "shots in the arm" will be compelled to forego their liquid exhilarant, and provide themselves with aspirin and strychnine tablets to spur themselves
through the days of aducus toll this spring. Some of them may even be driven to crime in the form of the prohibited coceine, heroin, taudumum, and opium, injected literally and not figuratively as "shots in the arm."
For the good of the school, then,
and in the interests of campus democracy,
let us "rise up a million strong over night" or in the daytime, either,
for that matter and protest, with a club if necessary, to convince the soda of the grave danger to the University in this horrible increase in the already high cost of education.
The British public objects to the King in his message to Parliament; using the word "my" so many times Would they rather have him say "Mr. Lloyd Georges?"
CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM
Criticism is often regarded as constructive or destructive. The first is a help and tends to better conditions while the second is of no avail and tends to tear down rather than to build up. It was constructive criticism that gave the University the Noonday Luncheon Club.
A student on the Hill when asked why he did not attend the Y. M. C. A. meetings hold at 7:30 on Thursday nights, and that the time of meeting did not permit him to attend. He added that if the Y. M. C. A. could find a suitable time for its meeting that a great number of men would attend who had not been going.
So far his criticism had not been constructive, but then he suggested that the meeting be turned into a luncheon club when any man could arrange to take his meal at the meeting place and listen to the speaker brought there by the Y. M., A. number of men were asked what they thought of the plan and the final verdict has been the complete success of the club. Instead of fifty to a hundred men attending the meetings, the attendance has been going over two hundred at each meeting.
The criticism of the student with a helpful suggestion not only has brought success to the Y. M. meetings but it has given every man in the University a chance to hear a good speaker at a convenient time.
It must have been quite a relief for Countess Zschechny to get a divorce, if she thereby gets back her name of Vanderbilt.
THE SIREN
The "Spring" editorial is nearly as proverbial as the "Spring" poem, yet the editor feels it is his duty to touch upon the fine days that are here. The weather with its touch of the old fever, the tendency to cut classes and take a long rumble along country roads or read a magazine on the ole front porch, and the bringing out of baseballs and mits along the streets have all announced that Spring is here.
The gymnasium which has been crowded with enthusiastic basketball players will in a few weeks be deserted for the baseball field and the tennis courts. The porch awings on the sorority porches will soon be swinging again and the students at the library will be leaving their books a few minutes early in order to take the longest way home. The fur coats and woolen hose will be in the discard and there will be no more frozen faces or ears.
Yet with all this, it is only February and the chances are that old King Winter will still be with us for a few more weeks. It will pay not to head the siven call of spring, and remain indoors yet awhile, for the Grip, Flu, and Pneumonia are lurking by every corner and highway to nip the heedless one.
DAISY ASHFORD
Come, now word from London that scores of infant prodigies have appeared, after the fashion of "Daisy Ashford" of "The Young Visitors" fame.
That such twaddle could be taken by grown-up and mature adults with seriousness is an object of much wonder. That England.—beef-eating England, could within two years, fall for two such childish fads as spiritualism and infant authors is almost unbelievable.
We on this side can doubtless understand but little of the turns and quirks of the British mind, but one cannot think that the majority of stold, matter-of-fact England concerns itself greatly with these new fads, made familiar—a as type in America—by the long-haired men and short-haired women of tweenwich Village. Can it be that a complex psychological reaction from the war has brought scientists and writers like Barrie and Lodge to the following of such lights, as those of Truth, or can it be "grape-vine" stuff, conceived by the imagination of some American correspondent in London for the edification and wonderment of a credulous American public?
OREAD NOTES
Marceline Domingo, a Philippine flute artist, who attends Oread Training School, recently received an attractive offer to tour the west with the Universal Lyeum Company. The Lyceum is organizing a group of Philippino musicians who will give the students a music program has declined the offer as he wishes to complete his course at Oread before going into Lyeum work.
On account of the closing order which went into effect recently, the basketball games, scheduled for this month, have been postponed. The Oraad team however has continued practice as usual and the lifting of the ban should find them in excellent form.
At a recent meeting of the senior class, it was decided that the graduates this year have special diplomas. An engraved leather bound diploma, costing three dollars apiece, was approved by the entire class. Professor Nutt, who spoke at the senior meeting promised the students an excellent graduation program as well as exceptional diplomas.
Members of the physics class are trying to put some of their knowledge into use. They are experimenting with an old gasoline engine which they hope to start something new in school. They also went to the school a few years ago by a student who brought it to Orcad for a demonstration and did not wish to take it home.
The play which was to be given at Six Corners Saturday evening by the Oread Dramatic Club, has been postponed until the Fli ban is lifted.
The members of the journalism class under the direction of Miss Samson, wrote brevity items Wednesday. This's one of them.

Two new buildings are being planned for Ohio State University. The first is to be a women's gymnasium with large and small "gym" floors, i corrective "gym", a swimming pool and shower and locker rooms.
Three girls at Ohio State University signed their names to contracts to join the movies, recently. After they had signed they found that the "agents" were not motion picture solicitors but college students. The girls had been invigorated into signing a bogus contract.
