The Daily Kaoan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students in the university than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University values and trying to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable, to be courageous, to be friendly, to be wise, to wiser leads, in all, to serve to the students of the University.
WEDNESDAY. NOV. 19, 1919.
PLAYING A GAME
Are you playing College? Are you spending two profitless years in the University in the game of chasing credits? Do you pick out credits and then go after them with the sole purpose of speeding up the total to 120?
It is easy for the average student to brush up an acquaintance with the different groups that will give him 12 hours and an A. B. But 120 hours of passing grades are only the standard by which other people, who do not know you, judge your work, your mental ability. As grades they may get you a job but you will not hold it. Unrelated to your thinking machine they will have no more influence on how you carry yourself in that job than what you ate for dinner.
The person who gets the most out of his College is he who comes for the primary purpose of building a natural groundwork of knowledge. He becomes so interested in his search for facts that the credits follow as naturally as a strong constitution follows proper bodily exercise. He who enrols in the University for the larger purpose of finding life through wisdom needs never worry about credits.
As a game College is a lifeless affair with less punch than a checker battle between the two town loafers in the small town barber shop. The student who flits from one group to another adding to his total score until he reaches 120 may have entered the King row bot he will never win a victory.
ORIENTAL RUGS
"When you go to the Oriental rug exhibit," says *Proffessor Griffith*, "don't look on them just as carpets to put on the floor, but as works of art." And a most interesting and suggestive art it is. It goes back to the beginning of things and uses the same methods today its makers have always followed.
There are four different kinds of Oriental ruga. Turca, Turcoman, Caucasian, and Turkish, the first having many more varieties, and often being made of soik.
The wool that is used in Oriental rugs is produced and prepared with the greatest care, being long and strong and more lustrous with wear. The dyes are made from roots and barks and flowers, no chemicals whatsoever being employed. This increases the beauty and durability of the yarn which is knotted rather than woven into the tightly spun fine warp on a primitive square loom, both loom and rug being made entirely, by hand Sometimes a fine linen warp is used and there are but two kinds of knots The Sennra knot 'is a simple twist or
two threads, and the Chiordes knot is more like a real knot, the ends coming through between two threads. The Senna knot is used for the finer rugs, as more knots can be made to the square inch, and the nap can be trimmed more closely which brings out the beauty of the design with greater precision.
An Oriental rug at a casual glance is either a conglomeration of more or less attractive color or some faded old thing that don't mean anything. But every rug is the result of religious belief and training and intimate family, tribal and national characteristics as well as devoted individual skill.
The work is fundamentally imprisonistic, but the designs have been perfected from generation to generation through the actual life of the people. The secret of especially fine lyes is carefully guarded in the families that produce them, and is handed down from father to son as a precious heritage. Every detail in a chosen pattern has its especial meaning, and the creation grows more and more beautiful with proper care under the touch of time. Oriental ruses were not made for rough and careless usage but for genuine appreciation. One may not be able to buy one, but that is no reason why he should not understand and enjoy what it has to give him.
So do not look upon the rugs you see at the exhibit as carpets to cover floor, but as a means to taste and culture your surroundings to a whole wide realm of wonderful art.
FIGHTING WITH BALLOTS
France has replied to the Bolshievista through the ballot. Every radical candidate in the recent election was defeated by a sweeping majority according to the announcement of the returns.
It is stimulating to learn that the Reds have not gained a foothold in France, a country turn by the recent world war and thought susceptible to agitation because of the reaction following the strain of four years suffering. America needs to follow her example in the next election by placing in public office only those men ct stu冲 Americanism who are willing to fight for the steady progress of evolution as opposed to revolution. The next election must be a vindication of the rule of law and order.
In the end, the best way to fight these apostles of an inverted order of society is through the ballot. With a strong chain of public offices carrying out the government, the radicals would be checked before it became necessary to organize posses and use direct action.

A pre-war hostess was giving a luncheon. Observing that one of the guests had eaten all her portion of ice cream, she said:
"My dear Miss Lane, do let me give you some more of the ice cream!" I told the young woman. "I will take them, but only just a mouthful, please."
"Hilda," said the hostess to the maid, "fill Miss Lane's plate."
"So we can hear him if he falls out," replied Mrs. Housler. "You have no idea what heavy sleepers my husband and I are."-True.

Will you permit me, while enduring the spirit of your editorial, "Loyalty Means Efficiency," of Monday, November 17, to speak in behalf of the Sachems and their workers, who undertook a clean-up of North College Campus. Evidently you have overridden the policy of points. For example when clean-up day was set for last Saturday it was with the recognition that the excursion to Lincoln would cut down the number of workers planned for and used in the campus, although it was not perhaps anticipated that the trip would draw as largely as it did. However, it was not considered wise to put off all preparations for the rally of 26 November until next Saturday, thereby running up a large debt, venting the work. As it was men who appeared for work could not be employed effectively as planned because of inability to obtain a proper supply of tools as expected. Finally it was decided to finish off all that the contractor the tank and the University service left of North College. Enough was done for the first big rally. Other preparations will be made here.
Editor, the Kansan:
was done for the first big rally.
Other preparations will be made hereafter for later celebrations planned for the K. U. rallying grounds.
after for later celebrations planned for the K. U. rally grounds.
I do not know that the Sachseman will be on an outsider—possibly they have not even read your editorial—but I am sure you will concur in my belief that loyalty means a Square Deal as well as 100 per cent efficiency, for both studios and faculty. Only these can put K. U. First and we all must Put K. U. First.

THE KANSAS CENSORSHIP
THE KANAS CENSORSHIP
Speaking statistically, only one-fifth of our population have tastes and preferences a doctor to prescribe their photodramatic diet. The four-fifths apparently believe they are qualified to choose their own. Of course, occasionally the four-fifths get an antigelist film, but either they throw it up or use it, they avoid it, that brand in the future.
ERGENTS DECORATION
By a charge in America, he visited the United States on his tour with Germany, it has become possible for an American to accept decorations of foreign states; and as a natural enough consequence General Perching has become the most decorated American that one can imagine. One is reminded also that he is General Sir John Perching. One wonders if this distinguished American citizen would be able, offhand, to enumerate the names of the main, without reference to notebook, combination of capital letters that he is entitled to include in his signature.
—Christian Science Monitor.
LAW PERMITS DECORATION
The Joke however, is on the one fifth who, wishing to be sure that we will not corrupt them when they aren't looking, have placed them selves downoemned to a very denatured diet When the doctors do not dose at their end we dilute at ours in anticipation of the watering. A friend from Topenae visiting the studio one day, was present when Jim was cutting for Kansas on film Iowa, and he should be getting a different kind of film than Iowa, for instance, enjoyed. "You see," explained Jim, "we know Kansas' weaknesses and the censor rulings, and if we released the film in all its Los Angeles purity the cenus would cause a jump in which would cause a jump in the story But by anticipating the cuts we can substitute boiled milk for dried hops, or at least hook the story together with collateral action or an interpolated title and thus save the continuity. And that's Kansas' affair, not ours, I did a lot of supposing in a story of mine on censorship, but here is one I overlooked. Suppose The Saturday Evening Post had to print a different magazine for every dawn town in the city to handle the problem."—Rob Wagnere in the Saturday Evening Post.

THEN AND NOW
"Another toilome, troubled we has passed. Difficulty in obtaining good and willing servants is annoyed and vexious. To serve is ne part o the intention of a large portion of the help or assistants—or only to serve them. We cannot do their on their own terms. The great object is to render the least possible service and to obtain the highest amount of wages obtainable, with those perform domestic labor. This, especially the shinking part, is particularly difficult because of the differences with American or other nationalities and the difficulties are on the increase There has been a class of demagogue politicians who have contributed largely to this state of things by which our domestic affairs are disrupted. In these cases are the employed. The teachings and influence of the New York Tribune have been pernicious. General Banks and a class of demagogues in Congress have enacted what is called the "eight-hour law," that is, workmen must work eight hours when laboring but eight, when in the employ of the Government."
The above paragraph, which, with minor changes might have been taken from the book of the matter of fact written 6 June, 1869. It is taken from the diary of Gideon Welles, who was secretary of the Navy and who wrote to us by Col Thomas Crummel.
Evidently the aftermath of the Civil War was not much different from that which has followed the Great War. Yet, we recovered from the disturbance over the war, and believes in American institutions does not feel certain, deep down in his heart, that no matter how troubled the waters at or present we shall eventually come into a calm and a safe place? Until then the sane people of Washington may bother another that radicalism may be hopeless defeated — Evening News Record.
Being an only child, Martha Wendell was not notably spied by her parents. She lately married Tom Mason, and as Tom comes of an old-fashioned family where the children have a spoiled wife, so he insisted on certain thems and his wife carried them out. But she did nothing a wife should not have done. Indeed she became an object lesson to shift her focus from sensible and a good wife and home maker.
MARTHA WENDELI
But I wish you could have heard the fuss the neighbor women made! They told Tom Mason was a slave driver, and she should not have done, and she confeed to me only lately that she loves her husband and is happy. The bride's own mother says her daughter was spoiled and that her husband has given up. Her parents are not satisfied. —E. W. Howe in Saturday Evening Post.
