The Daily Kaisaan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, who are more than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals that the teachers want to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be wise; to be kind; to be water-leads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the university.
FOX TROT AT BAKER

FOX TROT AT BAKK
Considerable excitement has been stirred up at Baldwin, when during the Christmas holidays, members of the four different fraternities and sororites at Baker University got "bad" and attended a dance and were promptly suspended from classes by the faculty and their rights until next Easter taken away from them.
It seems that the good Methodist people of Baldwin are determined to keep the dance away from their school but lately it is rumored that there have been dances given "on the sky" and that there has been a sentiment created among the townsfolk in favor of the Terspericha art. Now they are determined to fight it to a finish, and as several sons and daughters of prominent Baldwin citizens are mixed up in it, it promises to be a fight to the finish.
A GREAT SEASON
The school year of 1919-1920 bids fair to pair the University of Kansas again on a sound athletic basis. The report has recently come from the office of the athletic director that K. U. will be represented by a tennis team again this year and that boxing may soon become at least a strong minor and possibly a major sport at the University and in the Missouri Valley.
These five sports were football, basketball, baseball, track and tennis. During the years that this country participated in the war, every one of those five $v_{\mathrm{o}}$ sports suffered immensely and at least a part of the time tennis was eliminated altogether. The Universities throughout the Valley were weakened in every sport and not until this year have the teams displayed anything like their normal class.
Prior to the war, five sports on the Hill were considered of the major variety and in each, the Crimson and Blue entered into direct competition with other colleges in the Valley.
This year, sports have already had a decided comeback and unless something unrecedented happens, they are due for a still further comeback.
It was fully demonstrated during, the football season that the class of Valley athletics this year is every bit as good as that a few years before the war. Kansas never had better material for football than last fall. Missouri had one of the best eleven in the history of the school. Nebraska best Syracuse, one of the fastest teams in the East, and enjoyed what Lincoln backers considered a successful season. Oklahoma had a fine agreeable eleven, and Bennie Owen himself admitted it was one of the greatest he had ever got together.
In basketball it is the same story
From every school in the Valley is coming the report that the material is the best that school has ever had and that a winner is expected; which means keen competition and one of the best basketball seasons in the history of the Missouri Valley. Oklahoma begins a career in the Valley organization this year with what is reputed to be a crack quintet, and the advent of the southern institution will be watched with interest throughout the circuit.
In baseball it should be the same.
Every institution, with the exception of Grinnell, has promised to put a team on the diamond, and Knausa will have a good team. Pre-war veterans are returning by scores for track and the cinder paths in the Valley this spring will be crowded with star speedsters. And to cap it all, tennis is coming back in mid-season form. There is no reason why the Missouri Valley should not experience one of the greatest seasons in its history.
WHY NOT NOW?
It is high time that some steps be taken to beautify the west part of the campus in Mount Oread. Two years ago a landscape gardner was engaged for the eastern half and things began to improve immediately. Shrubbery and plants were planted in the spring by a experienced gardener and the effects can readily be seen during the spring and summer month, on the Hill.
But the work was not carried any further west than Snow Hall at that time and during the coming spring, something should be done to improve the looks of the grounds around the Chemistry building, the Gym, the Ad building and Haworth Hall, and this work should be extended as far west as possible.
There is vast room for improvement in the looks of the campus west of Snow Hall. Students walk across the grass at their will and make no effort to make to the "Campus Beautiful" a reality as well as a mere slogan.
The campus in front of the central and western sections of the new Administration Building is in the greatest need of improvement, however. That portion of the University grounds has never had any care and attention and it presents unusual opportunities for development
During the spring months, students should take it upon themselves to keep Even now, the usual paths are begin- even now, the usual paths are begin- to become distinct in several parts of the campus and the Hill will be cut into a million pieces with such cross-cuts and byways if the studies do not use a little care and keep to the side-walls.
IN PICKET FENCE DAYS
IN PUKET FENCE JARS
The day of the old picket fence that used to seperate our lot from that of the next door neighbor has passed. Even in the smaller towns where its passing was delayed in favor of too ambitions chickens and roving young boys, the fence no longer exists where we lay our lots end and the neighbors lot begins. Instead, the block appears to be a huge lot occupied by several friendly families.
But the impression of neighboriness which the absence of the fence creates is false. The neighborly spirit of the time of the picket fence is gone. The fence was of convenient height for folding one's arms and leaning restfully across it while talking to our neighbor. Over it we learn about his troubles and pleasures and he learned about ours. In short we were neighbors and the picket fence was no barrier to friendliness. Today, in spite of no dividing line between lots $w_0$ hardly know our neighbor's name and he knows less about ours. We nod in passing and sometimes for weeks our cheeriest conversation is a hasty "Good Morning" or "Fine day." With the passing of the picket fence, but not consistent with it has come the passing of the neighborhood and in its place has come a stiff formality which we often regret, and yet pass over without any attempt to remove the kinks.
This formality has seeped into our University life. As students we are still democratic and to every person is given the opportunity to make good either in athletics, scholarship, or social affairs. But when it comes to
downright neighborliness we fail. We limit our friendships to those which are acquired without effort and narrow our interests to coilups. To half of the members of our class we speak in passing and the other half we ignore. We are forgetting the qualities of neighborliness.
Over 3,000 men and women are need in foreign fields today! These people are not wanted as missionaries but in all legitimate vocations and professions including: social service, medicine, pharmacy, teaching, agriculture, engineering, and business.
Here is a wonderful opportunity for students who want to lead a life of real service. We have all thought that if we wanted to go to foreign fields we must go as missionaries, but the present call from the churches disproves this belief. Anyone who wants to work abroad can do so in any capacity that he desires.
If you are interested, drop around at the Y and talk it over with Con or see your pastor.
Why not "Put K. U.First" internationally?
A reporter on the Agrivieille paper claims to have seen a K. U. student get into a barber chair with a paper bag and slip on a razor to read the trowel. The scribe goes farther and notes that those kind of people grow up there but of a different variety.

The University of Utah is endeavoring to schedule a football game with Harvard for next Christmas. The team will be passing through Salt Lake at that time on their way to the game for a New Year's Day.
It is said that detectives are at work at Yale to find out how much cheating has been going on during the decade 1907-1917. A motion was passed by the Student's Council recommending an investigation regarding the necessity o the Honor System Evidence is being secured through the Dean and faculty members, former undergraduates and class secretaries.

The Kansas State Normal Bulletin gave the recent K. U.-Normal basketball game a complete wristup but failed to mention the score. The follow-up was an interview with the history: The Normal team entered the game with only one practice. It was lucky for K. U. that it had not been more. The final score was not quite humiliating. Referee Quigley always fouled him, and a wide awake he fouls him. Bennet, of the K. U. team announced the crowd by dodging away from him every time he was fouled. The game demonstrated that K. S. N. has the makings of a great defensive player. Missouri State University is little if any other in the Kansas Conference.
Plans are being made for an airplane race between Columbia, Harvard and Yale to take place next spring.
The students at the University of Buenos Aires have a vote as to who shall be on the faculty of the University.
The following item appeared at the end of a Student Volunteer story in the State Normal Bulletin. "One hundred teachers can be used in the hools of Porto Rico by next September and your faith in Christianity not well founded you had better stay away."

What Is Typewriting?
What exactly is a typewritten document is the question that has been puzzling the French council of state, which corresponds to the privy council in Great Britain? One learner lawyer contended that it should be to be either the same as printing or else it should be assimilated to handwriting. The only two reasons are that the law, the code have been drawn up in Napoleon's days when the typewriter was not yet invented. The council of state, however, has refused to give a decision and has left the
