The Daily Kamaai aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, and to teach them than merely printing the notes by standing for the ideals the University has taught to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be serious; to have serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students; to the students of the University.
THURSDAY,OCT.16,1919.
The United States Senate is expected temporarily to halt debate on the League of Nations until the K. U. election is decided.
ACCORDING TO THE LAW
Progress, so we are informed, does not proceed in a straight line, but is the result of action followed by reaction. It is as a pendulum which gains in its forward movement with each successive swing.
Since history really bears out the truth of this teaching, we here at K. U. may rest easily and smile at the scuffers who interpret recent student frivolities as the end of serious effort on the hill.
The world is growing better, and in the ebb and flow of the tide of goodness the top of Oread is not untouched. It is a possibility even that the close co-operation of the students and textbooks, which Governor Allen is alleged to have advocated for University students, ultimately will find its way to the Hill as a permanent feature.
K. U. frivilities being facts, cannot be denied, but they need not be the source of grave concern. Thanks to the law of progress, the occasional transgression of Oread can be pointed to as an earmark of true and lasting progress.
More students than usual are burning the midnight oil this year. The student with a Packard has the advantage of the student who drives a Ford, however.
A PLEA FOR POETRY
“A Book of Vores underneath the bough” is all very well according to Omar Khayam, and many another leisurely reader. Poetry in its essence is creative power, and it can make “paradeen love” even without any singer in the wilderness or food or drink.
But just a bit of poetry in almost any newspaper department for the busy person in this busy world brings a touch of inspiration that he may never get in any other way. The morning stars sang together, and the universal rhythm beats in the blood. A couplet that is a masterpiece, or just a clever stanza over an unknown name, or no name at all, appeals to the eye, vibrates in the thought, and sinks into the connoisseuriness for future germination.
Because of this well-known fact a great many newspapers of every sort and condition use the power of poetry in many ways. It gives tone to editorial pages, passages of scripture being often employed for the same reason. It hends society columns and other special departments, and one
pante matter firm uses it very effectively in a "Kitchen Cabinet" offering, the directions from household efficiency being diversified and embellished in this way.
Ever, if many people pass the poetry, by which is a common argument against it, every really good selection is like a well-chosen picture on the wall. Only the one who makes the choice may understand its merit, but everyone who sees it is unconsciously lifted to a plane of higher living. Some people are blind, but we can never discount the gift of sight.
Two languages are general on the Hill, plain English and college woman superlative.
A POWER FOR GOOD
It is fitting that the A. E. F. Club has been given the control of the Red Cross drive at the University. No other organization can give the campaign the moral influence or the enthusiasm that will flow from the men who have been in close touch with this organization, and who have partaken of its mercy. To conduct a successful drive for funds will be a return payment to the Red Cross by these overseas men, and they will give it the necessary vigor for success.
The interest of the A. E. F. Club in the Red Cross drive, however, is only one of the ways in which the Club, has shown its willingness to become an important factor for the betterment of the University. Its program to boost the school activities, to create a better student spirit in athletics, and to foster any new movement which is considered for the good of the University, indicates its future influence.
When Nazimova leaves town the library will be as crowded as usual again.

"What kind of coal do you wish, mum?"
"Dear me, I am so inexperienced in these things. Are there various kinds?"
"Oh. yes. We have egg coal chestnut—"
"I think I'll take egg coal. We have eggs oftener than we have chestnut's." -Kansas City Journal.

A member of a national medical association tells the following story v. the expense of a physician;
"Are you sure," an anxious patient shall recover? I have heard that doctors have sometimes given wrong diagnoses and treated a patient for pneumonia who afterward died of typhoid fever."
Rock Chalk Rimes By W.F.E.
We've talked it up with one another,
Some take one view and some the other
And the' our governor assenss.
The question strikes me thusly, Gents
Now, just suppose you get a date.
With her in Room six-ninety-eight.
Her parlor room would doubtless be
Reception Hall one-twelve-three.
A question which, tho' well discuss
Has got a lot of us nonplussed,
Is, shall we build or shall we not,
A dormitory—that is what.
THE DORMITORY
Suppose they had this splendid thing With dome and turret, mott and wing, And all the women in the school Packed in the place to live by rule.
You work your way into this place,
You meet your date there face to face
But if you wish to see the show,
In rank and file you'll come and go.
and all the dames will find you out,
if you're a stick or a good scout
四 record will be quite well known,
se breakfast time 'twill all be blown.
The highways of Utopia
Are wonderful. I must told.
Some people say that they consist
Of solid, shining gold;
UTOPIA
But anyhow, they're always paved,
And also, smoothly rolled!
The parrots of Utopia
The parrots of Utopia
Are never known to swear;
They talk as carefully as if
They had a censor there;
And all they say is, "Goodness sakes!"
"My word," and "I declare."
The show girls of Utonia
Are modest and discreet;
They blush denimely every time
They dance their feet;
And though they let men dye wi-

ROOSEVELT ON COLLEGE
Colonel Roosevelt had asked my
plans to send him, and told his
plans to send him to Harvard "I
had the necessary funds."
ROOSEVELT ON COLLEGE
"On the other hand, the boy who has unlimited money has unlimited opportunities to spend it, to get into trouble and acquire habits that will be a handicap in later life. With the aid of tutors he gets his hard work on, and does the extremely poor boy without having got the real benefit of the college.
"It does not," said he, "require very much money to send a boy through Harvard, or that for matter, Yale, or Harvard, that the boy who has too much money in college is just as badly off as the poor fellow who has none. I have every sympathy with the boy who works his way through college, and when he has to divide his time between work, class room and study does not begin to get all a man should get out of college. He does not get the real spirit of the university, and he apt to come out of it. He doesn't believe in degree, worn physically and mentally."
"On the other hand, the boy of moderate means, enough to permit him to take a real part in all college activities, but not enough to permit or induce extravagance gets about everything there is to be had. They are the men who really benefit by college.
"It does not hurt a boy to have to do some work—some of the best men I have known have had to do some work while in college—but the fellow who has all work, who goes to his studies tired, whose interest is divided and who has no time for it. We would do better to fortune him. He would do better to delay his entrance funds to make his stay in the university less of a constant drill.
"That, I know, is not quite so romantic, but is it enmily more practical?" -John J. Leary, Jr. in McClures.
Some one has untied the British railway tie-up.
Cross country air derbs are going to be all the rage. The fatalities at the start insure this.
It is said that the Kansas bank that has not been robbed will become a curiosity within the year.
One good idea for hastening the President's recovery would be to have the senate surrender unconditionally.
The senate ought to be reminded that calling names never win a fight for any boy and that it will never win a fight in the senate either.
The report that Lennie has been thrown in jail at Moscow is to be classed as a piece of news too good to be true.
The big entering classes at all uni-
 universities show the tremendous zeal
for cultural development since it has
been established. The school makes more money than others.
"Your banking needs," reads the headline of a bank ad. To the average student this means a check on your bill, an unlimited supply of money on deposit.
