The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students, from their first year than merely printing the news by standing for the ideas. The University seeks to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be kind; to be patient; to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the university.

LAWRENCE LIKES ALLEN
The ability to strike a happy medium is never needed so bad as when a student in five or six different classes finds a professor who feels that the University was established for the special benefit of his classes.
LAWRENCE LIKES ALLEN
A story in a local newspaper to the effect that three members of the Haskell Institute football team will be able to play in the Haskell-Oklahoma Aggie football game Saturday because of treatment they received from Forrest C. Allen, athletic director at the University, is a good example of the cooperation that the business men of Lawrence hope to see between the various schools here.
Other schools appreciate the services of Allen and the University ought to congratulate itself in having a man who can not only keep its athletes in condition but who can prevent serious and often permanent disabilities resulting from injuries received in football and other sports.
The business men are trying to do their share this fall in promoting the spirit of co-operation between, the schools, and it is things like Docto Allen did for the Haskell athletes that helps this feeling.
An ideal situation as regarded by an upperclassman and former "buck": A former non-com or shave-tail freshman without his cap.
GETTING TOGETHER
For the first time in the history of the United States representatives of labor, capital, and the people are meeting in an industrial conference for an intelligent consideration of the settlement of the differences between labor and capital without resorting to the strike which has become so familiar in our industries. It is a vital problem, and upon a working solution of these differences hinges the industrial future of the United States.
The people of the country, the supposed rulers in a democratic government at last have considered the problem of enough importance to take a hand in its settlement. Hertofoite, while factories were idle because of strikes, the people, expecting to deplain the condition, have stood aside merely watching the developments without taking any action. A minority in a democratic government has been permitted to tie up production while the majority, upon whom the burden of the strike always falls, accepted the situation on the false theory that is was none of its business.
But it has now been recognized that the relation between labor and capital is a serious part of the peoples business. A tromendous growth in strikes
since the ending of the war has forced the truth upon the people, and now they propose moving in from the side lines to take a part in the game. A higher cost of living, increasing unrest, and an apparent wave of radicalism gaining a foothold among the workers, have caused the people to realize their intimate connection with labor and capital, and that their problems can no longer be considered a thing apart from their concern.
The question is international, for an upheaval in this country will do much to uckre the wavering stability in Europe. A class war among the people of the United States is apt to spread its way to the already weakened nations of Europe and turn everything to- turry.
But there is little danger of spreading the class war and false doctrine of the labor agitation if the industrial conference finds some means by which labor and capital are to meet each other half-way to settle their differences reasonably. Arbitration councils on which sit representatives of labor, capital, and the people should be one way of bringing all sides together for sane discussion and intelligent action. These councils would act as governors in preventing hasty decisions and tend towards better cooperation between the laborer and his employer.
FORGET THE JAZZ
The students of the University have a peculiar opportunity which other citizens throughout the state, as a rule, do not have, namely that of hearing real art as interpreted by America's leading artists.
Our fathers seemed to have time to study and learn to appreciate the finer literature and art; good music was a part of their lives, but we are too busy. It is time for us to stop a moment and take time to cultivate the classics. It is getting so students actually dislike so-called "high brown" music, Jazz, jazz, jazz is all we hear. We need something better. Every student at K. U. can afford both time and money to attend the occasional treats we have, even if it means the sacrifice of a dance or two.
As members of this state institution we are this year partnerly fortunate, and it
As members of this state institution we are this year particularly fortunate, and it behooves us to appreciate our blessings and take advantage of them.

Editor, The Daily Kansan:—
Is Kansas hidebound? Will the band men's petition for credit be turned down, and if so, what will be the result?
The band should strike and the students should take every possible cooperative measure in forcing matters to a show down. Such small administrative faults as not recognizing the services of the band, and the restriction of paddling have had much to do with the decline of school spirit.
Certainly the work is worthy of credit; every other school in the Missionary School has been working. It is hard to see how the administration could overlook the justice of their request but, assuming the improbable what should be done if
It is high time that the student body makes its ideas felt in this sort of administrative matters. The administration should be made to realize that students are expected to take a place in the school life and that student opinion should have some influence in coloring administrative decisions and actions. D.J.
On Other Hills
Two thousand spectators were present at the annual push ball contest at Ohio State University when the teams came together for a freshman after a hard fought battle.
The sophomores were victorious over the freshmen in the annual tug-of-war between the two lower classes at Columbia University. A shower was arranged between the opposing teams and the sophomores succeeded in pulling the freshmen under the cooling spray in two different trials.
Great interest is being shown in intramural football at Oberlin College.
After one week of preliminary practice, games are to begin between the four classes. No man will be allowed to leave the classroom for practice three times the preceding week. No one who is more than ten semester hours behind his class may play and no one on the variety list engage in any of the class games.
Pity the sorrows of Caruso, he of the golden, soothing, tenor note! Like the lotus enters he was supposed to be reclining upon the hills where it is always afternoon, gathering new inspiration for next season's opera harvest on the boards of the Metropolitan. And perhaps that was what he needed in Florence, gathering new inspiration in Florence rudely disturbed his dreams and recievers. After looting many shops and stores of that city as suited its purpose and convenience, the mob found that it was thriry work and some one of their number seems to have recalled the fact that a charming villa on the outskirts of City of Florence was the home of the most famous usus, and that in its cellars were stored rare vintage. The mob probably bore no special ill-will to the gold-throated one, but their own throats were dry and parched and, as with one accord, they streamed out of the city to the villa, opened its cellars and were duly rewarded for the unweloved part of the museum that cellar were stored many barrels of wine of what ages and varties the muse that presides over such events fails to inform us. Caruso himself is authority for the statement that some of this wine had mellowed for nine summers, and that some of it was not older was probably due to the fact that the great tenor had not given it to the other concert musicians that cellar were stored its longevity. He also relates that the mob took thicw barriers, leaving him barely enough to last him till the coming vintage and, corp di bacoe,它 commanded his own automobile in which to convey the wine away to make a Soviet holiday. The automobile has been returned from Russia, its wooden and Caruso, as well as Florence, has received a lesson as to mobs and Sovietism neither of them will soon forget—The Independent.

An easy way to fool yourself regarding your popularity is to circulate a petition for your election to some political office. The average consent with a fictional pen will sign his name without investigation.
Miss Helen Taft, acting President of Byrn Mawr College, declared recently in an address before the Alumni Conference in the Byron Mawr Campaign for $1,000,000 to increase Faculty remuneration that she wished the nation of the country would organize an union and strike for higher salaries.
MISS TAFT FOR A STRIKE
And from now on let's hope that everything will be "status quo" as Potter Lake water is becoming cooler every day.
Miss Taft holds that the Faculty of Bryn Mawr and other colleges are taking the most reasonable way possible to press their claims. She said they are justified in refusing to serve the country. Miss Taft pointed out that she would not object to a strike because she believed it would not be a strike against th college executives, the college directors or trustees, against the public, which ought to be made to pay for its education.
She said they had a better case than the ministers.

The "Constitution" of To-day—Electrically Propelled
THE U. S. S. "New Mexico," the first battleship of any nation to be electrically propelled, is one of the most important achievements of the scientific age. She not only develops the maximum power and, with electrical control, has greater flexibility
of maneuver, which is a distinct naval advantage, but also gives greater economy. At 10 knots, her normal cruising speed, she will steam on less fuel than the best turbine-driven ship that preceded her.
Six auxiliary General Electric Turbine-Generator sixes of 400 horsepower each, supply power for nearly 500 motors, driving pumps, pump systems, and kitchen and laundry appliances, etc.

Figures that tell the Story of Achievement
The electric generating plant, totaling 28,000 horsepower, and the propulsion equipment of the great super-dreadnaught were built by the General Electric Company. Their operation has demonstrated the superiority of electric propulsion over old-time methods and a wider application of this principle in the merchant marine is fast making progress.

Speed= 21 knots
city to propel ships at sea marks the advancement of another phase of the electrical industry in which the General Electric Company is the pioneer. Of equal importance has been its part in perfecting electric transportation on land, transforming the potential energy of waterfalls for use in electric motors. developing the possibilities of electric lighting and many other similar achievements.
As a result, so general are the applications of electricity to the needs of mankind that scarcely a home or individual today need be without the benefits of General Electric products and service.
