Bell K, U. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan sims to picture the undergraduate life of the University, with the burden than merely printing the news by institution for the ideas the University is trying to be clear to be cheerful; to be enable to be coercive; to solve problems to water cars; in all, to serve the students of the University. COMMUNITY PARTIES MONDAY, FEBRUARY 9, 1920 Because the students of the University have no suitable place in which to hold community parties, there have been no such affairs since the basketball season has taken all the floor for the Gym it is a question what the University would do for meetings of any kind, since there is no other place on the Hill except possibly the chapel in Fraser which is only suitable for small sized meetings The Community party has already proved its success in the few times that the joint committee of the W.S. G.A. and the Men's Student Council has been able to secure the Gym for it. It is a democratic party where every student is welcome, where dates are unnecessary and where dancing is not the only feature of entertainment. There are a surprising number of students on the Hill who do not dance and the Community party has solved the problem of entertainment for them. E. P. RIPLEY In the next few weeks there will be a number of Community parties given, and it will be another phase of Putting K, U. F to attend them. "Grand old man of the railroad world" is the way E P. Ripley has long been known to co-workers and competitors alike. Primarily he was a railroad man. Even after he assumed charge of the Santa Fe systems and became president of one of the most successful railroads of the country, he did not become merely a capitalist, as so many railroad magnates are. He has never ceased to be a true railroad man. For twenty-five years he has been the executive of the Santa Fe. From a bankrupt, struggling institution he has built up one of the most stable roads of the country. In all those years, he has not once been out of touch with the smallest human cog in the vast machine he built To outsliders Kiplow will always remain as a memory of a great executive; to many employees of his road, he will be remembered as a man who never failed to help them climb to success. One of his business principles, typical of the man, was, "Recognize merit; promote from the ranks. Help your men keep out of a rut" The whole country condoles with the Santa Fe in a mutual loss. STYLE AND OUR NECKS STILL WEARING Some one has risen to remark that next summer will usher in the stiff neck. If he speaks with authority the comfort of the soft coat must give away to the fashion, for if they become the style no amount of common sense will keep us from wearing them. But it seems that the style makers would use a little caution if they would keep us from rebinding. Pointed shoes and tight trousers are insignificant grievances when compared with tl linen collar or its forefathers the high waisted rubber collar. Five years of freedom has not made us forget a few of the torments which we associate with the stiff collar. The first memory brings us back in front of the dreser with our right hand holding the long end of a Zebra necktie. The long end is too short for a good knot, however, and we are tugging for more length. But the short end does not get any shorter. The still collar more crumples and awists. Eventually, if we can continue looking straight into the mirror without seeing double, we compute a knot in a sheerstring style. If the day is begun our troubles only have begun. The stiff collar begins to melt and shrink at the same time. It is no longer a collar but a dishrag-and displaying all its beauties. About this time of the day it becomes necessary to wear a silk手kerchief to absorb the surplus moisture Another memory brings us back to the baseball game or to some entertainment. Encased in the stiff collar there is only one direction to look and that is "High front." Only by inserting two fingers in the collar, on one each side of the Adam's Apple, for ball bearings, can we look around and see who is behind us. If it must come let's make it as low as last semester's grades and line the inside with ball bearings. CHERSHEZ LES FEMMES with the formation of Pan-heliolens Inter-fraternity and Hash-house basketball leagues, the university probably has every man actively interested in basketball actively working in the promotion of the game in his own organization, and the promotion of the organization through the game. Such an extensive system of competition cannot result but in an increase n' school spirit in backgam of athletics especially basketball, which as almost an infant sport in comparison with baseball, football and track. When the men of the university realize, through actual playing experience, that basketball, is a clean fine sport, with opportunity for fast headwork and faster footwork throughout the hard and grueling game, they will crowd Robinson Gym to the doors when foreign teams come to battle with the Varsity. When they appreciate the strong heart required to fight through forty minutes of attenuous basketball, and the skillful tech acquired by a fast varsity team (the roof will reverberate with the rooting of Kansas for K. U. teams. The women, too, are learning about the game as a result of the men's organizations taking up the sport. Girls are in attendance at some of the games, and they learn of the game from the organization players. And everyone knows that gnathie will fight like a wildcat, if a girl is following his every movement with increased eyes! "A LITTLE LEARNING" One of the by-products in certain elementary courses in the University is a group of rare-done student scholars whose opinions have shifted from a common sense basis to the realms of the new and untrained. Every day these theorists are heard expounding their newly learned doctrines of the evolution of man from the monkey stage, the geological refutation of the truths of the Bible, the inherent justice of a socialistic society, or similar propositions equally opposed to ordinary conceptions. It is often said for instance, that science substantiates religion and yet it is by no means uncommon to hear an embryo scholar remark that since learning more about Darwinism and his theory of the evolution of life he had ceased to believe that which he first learned in the Sunday School years ago. And this has happened in spite of the fact that instructors have been known to warn students that nothing in their course should be considered as conflicting with religion. Similarly, certain students of the "fopper" variety who do not seem to possess the ability to discriminate between practice and theory are being led astray by the dream picture of Socialism and other highly experimental forms of governmental activities. They swallow the false syllogistic theories propounded by its leaders like a child swallowing a sugar coated pill, believing that the sugar extends to the heart of the pill. While the University should never fear to teach the different aspects of the truth and leave the selective process to the student, care should be taken in certain elementary courses that the student is not given the wrong perspective. It should be remembered that harmless fads of theoretical instructors often become dynamic forces in the code of the ambitious young student. And it is well for the student to keep in mind that "A little learning is a dangerous thing." Campus Opinion All communications to this column must be signed by the writer as evil director. No comments will be used if the author no specific Communications are welcome. To the Editor of the Daily Kansas: Sir: The unapparent sin is the loss of an opportunity to be of service. That is the dictum of a modern school of thought, a modern philosophy of success. It is applied to every field of human endeavor, even business. My Ph.D. can pick a dropped kerchel before it has touched the floor, and restore it before the fair dropper has fully decided what to say. This is no great disdainvariance, for she has a number of expressions for just such occasions. There is another belief: that success lies in a diametrically opposite line. The dictum of this belief may be stated as follows: "Never lose an opportunity to require a service," or, with particular regard to the social life, "treat 'em rough, use caveman stuff." Both schools of thought seem to support Professor Boynton's statement that the unparvitable sin is the sin of indifference. Brutus said he slew Caesar because he (Caesar) was ambitious. Perhaps ambition is the unpardonable sin. The "wets" say it is intolerance. The "drys" say it is intemperance. The socialists might say it is standardization but I am doubtful whether they do not really think it is individuality. Johnson might say that whatever it is Wilson is a shining example. Even McAdoo might secretly agree that father-in-laws are at times obstructive. Coollodge might say the unappropriate son is policeman; and vice versa. Hover might be disposited to question the belief that it is劣信度. But as they are ambitions, why not slay them? Could anything be more logical than that, in this time of peace, prohibition and prohibitive taxation, we send to the chair (president), we send to the eminent exponent of grumleuza? Sir, amid the maze of modern un- pardonable sins, may I not be justified in asking timorously. "What is the Pardonable Sin?" Doctor (to poor man): You don't get enough air. Walk a mile every morning before breakfast. The doubtful sinner, A. Nocker Wood “Is there any way a man can avoid paying alimony?” asked the Friend who was seeking free advice “Sure,” replied the Lawyer. “He can stay single or stay married.” Cincinnati Enquirer.

After the first hole, the Englishman shot back toward you take? "Eight," replied the Scot. "Oh, I only took seven, so it's my golf!" occluded the Englishman, tri- unphamly. After the second hole, the Englishman put the same question to the Frenchman, "in plainly," na, na, ma man, said he; "ta'ma turn tea ask first." "You said that horse had no faults." sold a horse to an Englisman. A few days afterwards the buyer returned to him. "Well, no mair had be." "He's nearly blind!" said the indignant Englishman.

On Other Hills Among the most unique of college customs is the Senior table at the Oregon Agricultural College. Every senior has a fraternity store patronized by the college. Only Seniors are allowed to sit at the table, and during the year each member of the class carves his name on the wall. The top is preserved as a class directory. From a feature story of a Kansas high school "cub": The ground on which the new Cliff Park will be he is playing in, and many other places of amusement. "Allies Pick German Guilty," say a daily Kansas headline. Despite the goose-walk it seems rather heartless of weather. - Windfield (H. S.) Oracle. February 6 was the fifty-fifth anniversary of the founding of Wash barn college. The day usually annuity ceremonies but the Toupea Board of Health requested that this year's festivities he postponed until after the present "Phi"ha was has passed. About 70 years ago, it was reported from the Ichabod school Headline in the Washburn Review: "What has become of the Clee Clubs." Rothwell Gymnasium at the University of Missouri is unable to accommodate the large crowds that attend the basketball games. Several hundred were turned away at the Akgier-T contest last week. The Glee Club from the University of Missouri will make an extended trip the first of a mAcr. St. Louis is included on the itinerary. "Fire drill" rules from the Wamego Red and White: 1. Those who do not wish to show their "sailing" abilities, or are near the doors, should rise, then leisurely proceed quietly into the light. 2. Whenever shaken, cober, or harm. They may shatter their joints if they so desire, but should not get a drink, as the water is to be used to put out the imaginary fire. 2. When descending the stairs walk slowly, at the rate of about ten feet per minute, until you endanger the lives of others, who might fall and be buried alive, so to 3. Students are absolutely forbid den to chew gum during fire dill. 4. The girls are requested not to fix their hair at this time. 5. All students are to refrain from sliding down the banisters as this privilege is strictly reserved for the FACULTY. HERE OR THERE One of the profoudest impressions left by the recent Volunteer Convention at Des Moines is a conviction of international unity. At that great convention, world problems were discussed and the sense of personal responsibility as that which animates the student when considering the welfare of his Alma Mater, and the whole globe seemed but one vast field with unbound scope for professional and industrial training. The war was easy to solve. With a whole world before us there was no excuse for overcrowding the professions in our own country, and the spirit of internationalism which was instilled in to the students at Des Moines by daily work from every continent under the sun, caused racial and geographical barriers to crumble to dust. It seemed a matter of comparative indifference whether we took up our life-work in our own home or in some far-off corner of the city, or were contributing to the advance of civilization and were sure that we had found that spot on the globe where our service was most needed. The far East seemed but next door and it was as natural to talk of going to China as to plan a summer vacation in Munkaek. This spirit of internationalism gives a new seat to life by broadening our outlook and infinitely enlarging the field of our ambitions. Our inquiries are more common to or Ontario or Canada or even to this continent, for the whole world is in need of just such men and women as we profess to be turning out annually from this University. Our sphere of opportunity is unlimited. Both at home and abroad have opportunities for social and industrial problems but by developing and fostering international brotherhood. —The Varsity, Toronto, Canada. "The Half Baked College Student" is the subject for discussion for Epworth League next Sunday evening led by Everett Gunn. Come out and help make this discussion interesting. The University of Oxford, England, is composed of 22 colleges and three Halls. The average enrollment of these is about 150. Cambridge Uni- versity has 17 colleges and one Hall. It has a large library, has about 550 undergraduates. A "Go to Sunday School" contest is the order of the day at the University of Oklahoma. Iowa State College publishes a student directory quarterly. It is known as the "Herd Book". At the University of California a new course is being offered for *for eign born students in the training of the elimination of the foreign accent.* Officials of the University of Missouri are making arrangements to care for 500 voocational students. About ten new instructors will be employed in the College of Agriculture, where department the men will be enrolled. The Hiawatha Democrat printed a series of items concerning younger business men of the town. Among those mentioned was Tom Smith, a former K. U. man and still behind us; we'll have to class D. M. Smith with the younger fellows for every time a bunch of boys gets into trouble the first place they hit for is Tom Smith's office—Hiawatha Democrat. A new system of grading which calls for publication of grades at the University of Oregon in all subjects at the end of each term was adopted by the university faculty recently. As an aid in publicity, all the state papers, will be furnished the grades of all classes at the end of each term.
