The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kanana; to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University seeks in students to be clean; to be cheerful to; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to others in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of the University.
THURSDAY, OCT. 2, 1919
It is hard to make the freshmen take their work seriously when the hired men back home are making as much as the University professors.
A REAL CURE FOR H. C. L
A. F. Whyte, member of the British Parliament, who spoke to the University students yesterday afternoon in Fraser Chapel went to the heart of the solution of the high cost of living problem when he made the following statement:
Legislation is artificial and of value only in curbing individual excesses. More work and less strikes, coupled with old fashioned economy will start prices tumbling quicker than any other mode of action. A continual game of leap frog between the workers of different industries to see which can force it highest wages and the shortest hours of work is a game of false pretenses and a poor way to bring about cheaper living.
Green Hall has a fashion show every day when the women appear in the public speaking classes.
K. U. NEEDS DORMITORIES
The need of women's dormitories at the University has never been more in evidence than this year. The number of rooms available for women students is inadequate to supply the demand. At many places three and four women are staying in a room large enough to accommodate only two comfortably. Many women are only temporarily located, and will be forced to leave school unless they can obtain accommodations.
To meet the situation, a woman's co-operative house, accommodating fifteen women and a house mother, has been opened at 1127 Ohio Street. The women enjoy congenial surroundings, do all the work, and are able to cut down expenses considerably. The success of this effort being assured, a second house is to be opened soon, according to plans of the committee in charge. The old isolation hospital, the frame house in the northeast corner of the campus, is to be used, and will accommodate nine women.
The houses are rented and furnished by gifts from the College Alumnae Association, the Federation of Women's Clubs, University Women's Association, the Woman's Student Government Association, and the ten sororities at the University.
This movement has been the means of twenty-five women obtaining rooms and congenial, home-like surroundings
while attending the University, but it can accommodate only a few, and the need for dormitories is still urgent. Many women from over the state hesitate to come to the University because of this lack of dormitories.
It is safe to predict that the League of Nations will preserve peace as long as the nations are tired of war.
A FULL EDUCATION
The average student at the University is in the formative period of his life, and his mode of action while here will determine to a great extent his future character. For that reason, it is well to guard not only against those things which are deterred to building a clean character, but also to guide his best impulses in such a channel that they will become a permanent part of his life.
Two general types of life are reflected by the student body and each man must choose for himself what his associations are to be. If he chooses wisely, he will select the better type, and leave the University a better man than he came, not only mentally but morally. Education at its best means a better code of ethics.
There is little danger that the colleges will lose their reputations as the centers of learning. Students won't carry away enough to affect the supply.
KEEP THE OLD TRADITION
The old tradition of first year students wearing the freshman cap is to be continued. The Men's Student Council passed a ruling to that effect at their last meeting and a recent issue of the Kansan printed an article that stated at what times the cap is to be worn and by whom. The rules laid down by the council leave no doubt as to who should wear the diminutive head gear, and all freshmen should glide by that ruling.
Some freshmen have the idea that it is a disgrace to wear a cap which is no larger than the palm of one's hand. This is the wrong attitude, and we hope none of them will take this view. The upperclassman, as they look to their first year on the Hill, are proud of the fact that they helped to keep up one of the oldest traditions of the University.
This year sees the largest freshman class ever enrolled in the University. Most of the men are strangers to one another. The wearing of the cap will enable the freshmen to distinguish their classmates from the upperclassman, and help them to make friends. The big majority of freshmen who wear the cap will think less of those few who do not, and no upperclassman is going to look down on the first-year student because he abides by one of the rules laid down by the student council.
Wear that cap. Be proud of it. It is going to be one of the big things of our University life.

THE NIGHT PERFECT
SHE TOO²
ANY ONE COULD
William J. BURAS, the noted detective, said in a Scrandon lecture: "To a well-trained detective every incident is pregnant with significance, every incident is as full of meaning as—well as the remembrance of a story:
"A young man sat in a parlor alone. To him a beautiful girl entered. Thereupon the young man arose took six cigars from his upper waist-coat-pocket, laid them carefully on the piano, and then advanced toward the girl passionately, his arms out-stretched.
"But the girl drew back.
"You have loved before," she said."- Los Angeles Times.
Came the perfect night, and all was
*****
Save the thrush note's ditalent call,
And I felt again the tranquil thrill
Of a Presence Divine O'er all.
Then my grateful soul knew the spell
I thank thee, God, for the perfect night,
The crown of the perfect day,
As the sunset fell in its glowing light,
The moon rose in the calm mood.
The calm moon rose in the eastern sky.
While the stars came, one by one,
And I bid farewell to the vanished day.
Umfortunate, but all sincere,
As I gave myself to the Shepherd's care
In the sleep that knows no fear,
—Prederick A. Whiting, in *Christianity*

Campus Opinion
The football season opens October 4th and the only indication of any pep or school spirit was when a group of A. E. F. men started a rally after their meeting in the Y. M. C. A. They staged a snake dance and a little lulling that served to remind the citizens that K. U. is still on the map.
Editor, Daily Kansan:-
Let's show a little life and get out of the beaten path and stage a grand old rally after the game Saturday. Get the whole male population of the crowd in the gymnasium to snake dance that will let the school and its supporters know that K. U. is coming to life. Why not set a time to meet Saturday night, say for in-turn, or maybe to watch a known place, and everybody come out and stage a grand old rally.
Editor The Daily Kansan:-
Campus Opinion
J. M.
A Senior
The good old football cries of "Oy, oy" and "Rally! Every body out!", which have been started on the backs of his teammates to a senior who for the last two years has scarcely heard the yella even whispered. This is true notwithstanding the fact that the senior has watched the majority most of the time these two years.
FIT STUDENTS FOR WORK
Last year when some night prowling student would call out the rallyy freshmen and even sophomores, would look up from their books and growl something about "some blank rowdy" yelling in the street.
This year, if preliminary indicators forecast aight, the freshmen and the sophomores and juniors unintubated into the secrets of rally spirit, we have the chance they need. W-K have in a fighting unified mass of "pep."
There is a rally Thursday night which every able man who gives a snap for the school will attend. There will be cheers and songs to be learned and there will be to many a first real lesson in that often-sought subject called KU. U. spirit.
Dr. Richard E. Burton, dean of the English Department of the University of Minnesota, in a recent address before a group of educators, remarked that the contemporary tendency, in the universities of the United States, to reduce the strictly academic part of the courses from four years to three could be traced back thirty years to proposals made by Dr. Charles W. Elliot, now president-meritorium of Harvard.
Doctor Eliot, as far back as 1890, was urging that the fourth university year should be devoted largely to specialization in the subject in which the prospective graduate hoped to fit himself for his profession. This is but one of many ways in which Dr. Elot cast his shadow along the years, so one is not surprised to learn of the reply of a native of Mt. Desert, Maine, where the Elot summer home is situated, to an inquiry as to "what has happened?" and to guard. The reply of the admiring native was, "I guess he's professor 'o' whale sheebang."—Christian Science Monitor.
Persons passing the grounds of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, between Boston and Cambridge, one day not long ago, noticed that groups of students were examining a fire engine and motor truck, and the driver of the observers was that the institute had organised a fire department.
M. I. T. TO BOSTON'S AID
the explanation was of much wider importance. In Boston the police had gone out on "strike," and rumor was abroad that the fire department might strike in sympathy. The "Tech" students were involved in the firing of the firemen. The fire department, to its honor, did not desert the city, and emergency firemen were not needed. But Boston will long remember that, in less than forty-eight hours the institute assembled six hundred firefighters, as well as willing, to man the fire engines—Christian Science Monitor.
Some studies are like an average cigar, which grows stronger the longer it is smoked.
The upperclassman can't make a freshman wear his cap but they can make him wish that he had.
Why condemn the old clock at Blake Hall. It is a good example of what K. U. spirit should not be.
The chancellor sang his way through college, but not the way a lot of the romantically inclined youths are trying to do lately.
The innocent freshman asks where the rat year men are paddled most That's a question which the Laws will decide.
With some of the steel workers getting from $30 to $80 a day, it is not hard to imagine why professors are sitting in sympathy with the strikers.
Some of the freshmen at Ohio State carry their caps because of the impression that the caps spoil their beauty. The Ohio State Lantern hints that there will be other impressions to counteract that aesthetic sense.
"Not a single University woman has been out to football practice this fall," imments the cheerleader. The single ones can't afford to miss the opportunities of those afternoon dates; the married ones are too busy.
The great aim of Americans "should be that of opening the ear of the aliens in this country, to the 'english language'," Mr. Berkert Kaufman in a word." states Herbert Kaufman in his plea for Secretary Lane's Americanization bill. After watching Johnson's son and Witney's educational cam video, he asks why limit the program to aliens.
