The Daily Kanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the new student book; to discuss the University holds; to play no favorites; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems behind; and to best of its ability the students of the University.
THE OLD KANSAS FIGHT
FRIDAY, JAN. 23, 1920
Missouri won—but Kansas fought!
Not only did the team fight every minute of the game, but the rooters were with them. A vicious attack in the first half gave the Tigers a 11-point lead, but the team came back with the old Kansas, fight, and when the pistol cracked at the end of the second half the score was tied.
Not one of the roots could help but yell, and the team responded with everything they had.
The teams will battle again tonight and every loyal Kansan will be there rooting for a victory. Last night there were several vacant seats in the gym, and standing room to spare. But the crowd showed their faith in the team by yelling for them, and they never gave up. The rooters started out well, but during the first half, when the Tigers were in the lead, there were severable noticeable pauses in the cheering. Then was the critical time, and then was when the team needed the support of the rooters. Kansas would have won, if the rooters had cheered as whole-heartedly during the first half as they did in the last part of the game.
There should be no standing room left in Robinson Gymnasium tonight. Missouri has a wonderful team, and if Kansas it to win, we must give the team the support they deserve. Everyone who was present had night will be there for the second game, but the Gym must be packed, and the team needs you to root for them.
The game starts at 7:15 o'clock
Are you a slacker—or will you be
there?
THE MORNING AFTER
A very learned professional man of Lawrence recently in a talk to a group of University students, said that always on the day before a final quiz he spent the afternoon playing tennis and the evening in some other form of recreational pleasure. And never but once did he fail in a quiz. For the students who have gone through the semester doing the work thoroughly as they went along, this plan might be followed with good results. Undoubtedly the person whose mind is fresh and clear can do better work than the one who has spent the day and night previous to the quiz in cramming the entire course into his head. Everything is usually so jumbled up in his mind that no one thing is sufficiently outstanding to enable him to answer a question thoroughly.
But there are few people who could get through a quiz without some review even though they have done their work well, and it would not be for many of the University students to follow this good man's ex
act system. However, it is a well-known fact that if the student does his studying a day, or even half a day before the examination and spends the last part of his working time in some form of recreation, he will be far better fitted for hard work at the critical time. Calmness is the factor most essential in taking a quiz. If the student has worried himself into a state of panic previous to quizzing he can little depend upon his intellectual faculties to do their best work.
WHAT ABOUT THE FOREIGNER?
In Wichita a citizenship school for women voters is being held this week. Next week the same course will be given at Emporia. The purpose of the course is to promote an intelligent use of the ballot. In short it aims at preparation for civic duty.
But what of the ignorant foreigner? Where are the citizenship schools for these men who have swwen fidelity to a new country whose institutions they have not learned to understand? After being checked through Ellis Island like sacks of grain, they are sent out into congested cities free to develop their own particular attitude towards government. The United States takes no responsibility as to their attitude until they develop into Berkmans and Emma Goldmans—and then it is too late.
Their vote becomes a thing regulated by supply and demand, a thing for sale to the highest bidder, or a token of appreciation for politicians who curb their favor in legislative halls. They fail in their civic duty because they fail to understand the basis of democracy.
Women may need a little preparation for their newly projective civic duty. But what about the foreign n a strange land?
THE T-SQUARE AGE
Eskimo ice cream is made by stirring snow into seal oil and flavoring it with frozen berries. A fine receipt to save sugar.
Modern existence closely resembles the natural curves that would form a T-square. People no longer follow their characters but build life on right, acute and obtuse angles of the architect's instruments. Straight lines instead of graceful arcs are now in evidence.
Looking around on every side, one no longer sees the primitive beauty of rounded nature instead there are angles of artificialities. Where once the wide swept plains formed a part of the horizon, here now are seen squares of streets, squares of buildings, and squares of cities.
On every side of us is measures thought, measured speech, and measurementaction, cramped by the instruments of convention. It is perhaps as well for many can see the same amount of beauty in the man-buit skyscrapers, as is visible in the majestic grandeur of snow clad peaks. We are living in an age of T-squares.
THE MAN AND HIS FISTS
THE MAN AND HIS FISTS
An echo of the Roman gladiatorial combatb can be found in the reception that boxing and exhibition sparing matches have met with in some of the eastern colleges. A number of athletic boards have introduced the "manly art of self-defense" into their curriculum, and the sport is taking hold upon the students so rapidly that student councils in practically every university are thinking of the matter.
The desire for exhibiting physical prowess is inherent in man. History tells of numerous instances of fighting between individuals, and bouts were features of Olympic games. Homer and Virgil were both at their best in narratives of physical encounterand these were the precursors of many gladiatorial descriptions. The medieval days were replete with instances of knight's jousts and those lordly battles were attended by all of the frilled elite.
Boxing in America has been tainted with too much commercialism, but it is a competitive sport of high interest. Casualties result, of course, but who has seen a football or basketball game that hasn't resulted with some wrenches, sprains or bruises. The subject of staged matching bouts is worthy of the consideration of any college.
HIGH SCHOOL CUBLETS
A Serious Yet Humorous Review the Literary Works of Young Jayhawkers.
The Red and White, a semi-monthly publication of the Wanego high school prints an interesting report of a trip to Topeka, which members of the class in Civies had the pleasure of undergoing, recently.
Thrilling experiences included witnessing a run by the fire department, which "would wake the deaf and dumb at Olathe,"
This editorial from the Wangeo "Red and White" might be well applied to other schools. With the headline Be Careful Girls, the art-eng
A visit to the Legislature, where refreshments consisting of apples were served, was the last feature of the day.
Men on the Basket Ball squad this year must work hard. This is "Leap Year," so girls do not take up too much of the Boys' time. Also do to feed your companion too much for biblical "fruit," a man who takes care of his own family. Any person in training for athletic sport should eat regularly of plain foods and should get a reasonable amount of sleep to do his best. (No! that doesn't mean to let girls entirely alone). Do not expect your company to stay very quiet in the gym or be early. The Girl's co-operation will help to turn out a winning team.
From the Holton Kansas "Holtonian": This being leap year, is the chance of a life time for school teachers to get married.
Exchanges report that the rooters at high school basketball games become "ambitions" before the final whistle is blown.
The Holtonian also tells of a girl in that school who claims to be able to hear through her teeth, because if*you* are not hearing well, she is in her mouth, she can near it tick.
Atchison high school students publish the "Optimist". A recent edition of the paper tells of the purchase of a pocket edition of a piano. The piano is about half the size of an ordinary piano and is the latest word in pianos for school use. The price is $228.
--better to dispense with the choreus than display one that needs an apology? I pass me for a reply—and in the interim I hope to remain.

To the Editor of the Kansan:
Sir:—
Due to the libernality of a friend I was able to listen to Lester from a seat in the first balcony the other side, and I could be a musical play or musical comedy, and it was somewhat musical and somewhat comic. They sang "See Her First!" last. It was just such a show that might have expected in a burlesque.
Far be it from me to set myself up as a dramatic critic, but it was my impression that you may be the child or parent of the burlesque, if had orphaned or disowned its relative and that a certain tendency toward refinement had ap-
I rise to a point of information. Why, sir, should a bathing scene be introduced in a hotel where, as it developed in the first act, there was an abundance of bathhubs? And in the cafe, of all places we have! We must dress our beds for years. Is this, then, a new fad and must one dress for dinner in a bathing suit? The suggestion is preposterous. I repeat it sir, preposterous. If we must have a bathing scene in a cafe, why in the name of all that is logical must Miss Lawrence appear in a bathing scene? Yes, she is to swim in the Kaw she should have a brown suit. It will be brown before the first swim anyway.
Respectably yours,
A Nocker Wood.
But on the whole my belief in that the ensemble number "See Her First" was nothing but a poten't device to deliver music. On the stars in their bathing suits.
STANZAS
Why did the salt shaker?
Because he saw the sugar spoon with her, the potato masher in the kitchen, the gas meter in the cellar, the lemon squeeze in the pantry, and the refrigerator on the back porch—The Minnesota Dailey.
Not that I object to seeing her first, last or in between times, but why not have a good enough chorus at the event? What about display it? An exhibition, sir, is the recognition of the need for an apology. Do you not think it would be better?

Thy branches never remember
Their green felicity;
their happiness them

They bake him up to remember
Their green felicity

With a slurry of laughter

In a drear-nighted December,
Too happy, happy brook,
You bubbling under remember.

But with a sweet forgetting,

Never, never fretting.

When she was afraid to feel it,
When there is none to heal it.
Nor numbed sense ti steal it.
Chicago-When a girl enters the business world and builds up a business of $175,000 a year it's about time the men sat up and found out how. Miss Maude Freeman, with the $175,000 a year business, gives the following fourteen pointers to ambition business women:
"Apply yourself unremittingly.
"Know your old job before you expect a better one.
"Make service the keynote of your career.
"Be courteous. The public demands it and is entitled to it.
"Don't make the mistake of never taking a vacation.
"Be cheerful.
"Don't be superstitious. I got my first position on Friday.
"Make good use of your spare time."
"Don't waste time on movies; grand opera, symphony concerts or good plays are much better.
saking a vacation.
"Make good use of your spare time.
"I invest your savings carefully. Government securities are best.
"When you get a raise, plan to save more, not spend more.
"Set your peg a notch higher every Be a suffragist."
PRESS AGENT STUFF
The gullible American public, or a least that part which follows sporting events, is swallowing these days hook, sinker and line stories of a fistic encounter to be staged somewhere in the world for a purse of $400,000. The principals to the affair are to be George Carpenter; the two Frenchmen, and our own "Jack Dempsey" member of the United States by virtue of his somewhat sensational victory over Jess Willard six months past.
Four hundred thousand dollars, even in these days of "cheap money," represents no small fortune. Men who have paraded in millions' row have had less. That much money would keep the voracious wolf away from many a college professor during the time. But that is not the question.
Four hundred thousand dollars represents the sum that is to be paid to a couple of dubs. All prize fighters are dubs. If they were not dubs, they would not be prize fighters. In the division of the purse, Mr. Dempsey will receive 75 per cent win, lose, or draw, it is said.
Mr. Dempsey's share, therefore, would be $300,000. Not so bad for a man who helped build ships during the recent disturbance on the seas! That is, it wouldn't be bad if he were to get that much money. So you would only mind ones who are willing to give it to him. They build castles for all of us.
Jack is a good boy and a clever fighter, but when he counts his money after he gets through giving the Frenchman the same thing he gave Mr. Willard last fourth of July, he is going to be disappointed—unless he is wary of the tricks of the press agents—Daily Iowa.

A CHANGE OF TUNE Yale has voted to keep its national anthem, even though the tune is that of "Die Wacht am Bhrise."
A CHANGE OF TUNE
But what is to become of all the national anthems in Europe that are out *d* jobs?
The Germans cannot seem to get together on one. A regiment which swings under the Brandenburg Gat lustily trolling "The Watch on the Rhine" or "Dutschland über Alles, is variously named; some hails as deliverers ooled at monarchist counter-revolutionists.
Austria had a perfectly good national anthem to a tune by Joseph Haydn, but at last account it was out of favor with the populace, and it is the populace that has to be relied on to sing national anthems. When the

VARSITY
But there is one great national anthem on the continent of Europe which the war has not changed. And curiously enough it began its career as not so much a national as an international anthem: a marching song of the French revolution, "The Marsellaise". Its great music, and great poetry flamed out of the heart of the French people as a universal hymn of human liberty. That is a tune which does not change — Boston Globe.
