Address all communications to THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN Lawrence, Kansas,
The Daily Kaman amu to picture the undergraduate life of the student in a school that is harder than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals of the University. He should be clean; he should be clean; he should be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be brave; to be wise; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the university.
OUTLAWRY MUST STOP
MONDAY, OCT. 13, 1919.
The night shirt parade Saturday night from beginning to end was all that could have been wished by the students, and the merchants who contributed generously to its success. It was a high spirited crowd, but it was kept under control. The leaders deserve nothing but praise for their generalship.
This is said of the parade, as authorized and carried out according to the program. It is not said in praise of the unauthorized and shameful acts of irresponsible students, who mussed up business fronts on Massachusetts Street hours after the parade had broken up and the prescribed program of the evening had reached an end, and after the responsibility of the leaders had terminated.
That a few University students should ever take it into their hands to bring dishonor to the University is to be regretted and condemned. The acts of a few unreasoning students can do more to break up the co-operative spirit and the good will not only of the merchants of Lawrence, but of the people of Kansas, than can be regained in years of patient toil by the University working as a whole.
This, disasterous irresponsibility must stop. Some measure must be devised to curb the spirit of students who cannot be trusted. Acts of violence such as occurred Saturday night surely are beyond the dignity of all upperclassmen. Nor can the freshmen be excused from such conduct. This should be a lesson to all the men, new or old. They must be made to understand that the University's honor is not to be saved or maintained by outlaws and outlawy; that school spirit is something different from mob spirit is something different from mobs of loyalty is inexcessible ignorance and cannot be tolerated in the University of Kansas.
BETTER AMUSEMENT
The first number of the concert course will take place in a few weeks. This course is one of the most broadening and educational phases of University life, and affords some of the best entertainment available during the school year. It takes no more time from work than an incidental trip to the movies, costs less than the movies in proportion to the value received, but gives the students something to remember.
A good concert makes a lasting impression, it gives food for thought and provides a topic for conversation. One is not able to remember many picture shows, and the more trivial forms of amusement slip
from the mind in a few days.
Instead of joining a crowd to talk away an evening in someone's room, why not go to at least the first number of this concert course and see if entertainment on a higher plane does not help cultivate the desire for more knowledge of finer things?
SAFE, QUICK AND SURE
SAVE, QUICK AND SCORE
Governor Allen's plan for providing the state schools and the denominational schools of the state with much needed dormitories, is a forward-business proposition. It is not surprising that the plan was approved by the educational leaders of the state, who are best fitted to judge of the need for such improvements. It is one of the perplexities of representative government that such a measure ever should find a moment's opposition in the legislature, but opposition there surely will be, and the dormitory bill will hang by a thread before it is passed, if indeed it does pass.
The plan proposed by Governor Allen provides that there be legislative enactment permitting the issuance of bonds, the money to be used for the building of dormitories without recourse to appropriations. The income from the dormitories is to be pledged to a sinking fund for the payment of bonds when due and for a reasonable per cent of interest. When paid for, the dormitories would become the property of the state. If the taxation amendment to be presented to the voters at the next election passes, the bonds issued could be made tax free, thus stimulating wide investment in the bonds.
The plan is a safe, quick and sure way to get dormitories. But this is only half of it. A safe, quick and sure way to get the Kansas legislature lined up for the schools is the other half.

plhram, to see you尘 the chair you

LLOYD GEORGE'S REWARD
A country koyel dropt in at an English tavern and overheard some conversation which led him to remark to St. George's, as "This is so St. George's, be it," he?
"Well, I be English, but billed if I knew they'd made 'im a saint,' cackled the old gaffer raising his hands to his to you, David." - Boston Transcript
ACQUIRING POLISH
"Frances," the little girl's mama, who was entertaining callers in the parlor, "you came down-stairs no soilsily that you could be heard all over the house. Now go back and down-stairs like a lady."
Frances retired and after a few moments reentered the parlor.
"Did you hear me come down-stairs his time, mama?"
"No, dear; I am glad you came down quietly. Now, don't let me let have to tell you again not to come down noisily. Now tell these ladies how loud it is and let them make a laugh at the second time, when the first time you made so much noise."
"The last time I slid down the hanters," explained Frances.—Philadelphia Bulletin.

OBSERVATIONS
Did you see the little girl with a dress,
That so nicely matched her curl I confess.
Did you ever take a walk with a friend,
And as you walked along,
Wormed your way through
the thong.
Did you notice all the mock in the end?
And it also matched her skin That it set your mind awhirl with distress?
Then another maiden wore at her throat,
But it was so very thin,
And it also matched his skin.
Just a stroll for the talk you could spend.
Now a man with a grip hoves in sight,
Bought for just about five francs.
remote,
Rought for, just about five
On old sunny France's banks,
A German cross and nothing more—
what a goat!
Been away for a trip overnight,
Package under his right arm
But you know it has no
harm
What her soldier boy of yore, far remote
Prohibition has its grip far too tight

never loved your plains!—
I want my hills—'the trail
That scorns the hollow,
Up up the ragged hale
Where few will follow,
ne never loved your plains!
Your gentle valleys.
Your drowy country lanes
And pleased alleys.
HILLS
Up, over wooded crest
And mossy boulder
With strong thigh, haeving chest,
And swinging shoulder.
So let me hold my way,
by nothing halted.
Until, at close of day,
I stand急.
High on my hills of dream—
Dear hills that know me!
And then, how fair will seem
The lands below me.
How pure, at vesper-time.
The far bells chiming!
Give, god me hills to climb,
And strength for climbing!
Campus Opinion
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer as evidence. The name will be used if the author agrees. Communications are welcome.
The good old bunch of K. U rooters were out to practice the other night—all six of them. If about 2500 fans attended Saturday's game on Saturday, why can't about one-seventh of that number show up at least once per week to see an hour of action faster and better than that of a player against against against the Varsity at nothing per?
The exercise and outdoor run will not hurt any student, there is a good chance to see and get a closeup of your shoulder. You should also know the names of the players, so that you will not have to on every play in the big games, "What is that follower?"
Editor The Daily Kansan:—
Are the students going to let more men suit up for daily practice than there are spectators? There's lots of people who aren't entirely varant, some old grad is going to drop in and start the rumor that K. U. is having secret practice.

HUM-BUG EDUCATORS
The steady deterioration in the character and capacity of college presidents remains one of the unheeded
warnings of the time in the United States. The college president is responsible for the decay of the intellectual life of the nation. The finest minds of the country, in their young and formative period, come and indirectly under his influence and far too much influence from an state of plaid mental inferiority. The cult of mental second-rateness is due to the fostering care of the system promoted by our college presidents who are in a conspiracy against knowledge. Hence education in our country is dominated by a school to which efficiency must be subordinated to results that have no relation to it. The course is the main success according to his false standards and not to the success of the youths who are swayed by the system he fosters.
CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS
He covers this degeneration with a screen of deceptions that deceive the laymen and the inexperi. The college president is a maker of glb phrases, a master of certain genial social arts connected with the management of a particular type of board or faculty. In the end he becomes sly, fazing his writing by including immanent phrases as smiling humbug. The college graduates go out into the world with diplomas that give them a false standing—certificates of artificial merit bolstering up ignorance. Everywhere in America we see signs of the harm done by this system—second-rate administration, paeudocheficiency and arant humbug in high places in both the business, the political and the professional worlds. There can be no form until the system of choice whose president is altered entirely or until the college president himself is deprived of his present weight and authority—Current Opinion.
