The Daily Kansas aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Kansas; to go further than merely printing the news on paper; to give students ideas at the university hold; to play no favorites; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to the graduate; to serve the best of its ability at the University.
TUESDAY, SEPT. 30, 1919
Instead of the usual bear stories from the Missouri football camp, other Valley schools have been reading a series of veritable Tiger stories.
THE RIGHT K.U. SPIRIT
The offer of the students of the School of Engineering to repair the bleachers at McCook Field on their annual holiday is the finest demonstration of the right kind of University spirit that has been manifested this year. The spirit that takes the students for a rally through the downtown district or sends them to the sidelines to cheer while the football team scrimmages the freshmen is laudable enough and necessary for the good of the University, but that kind of spirit is easy to demonstrate, and may not always be genuine. However, there can be no doubt of the loyalty and spirit of the men who are willing to roll up their sleeves and give their hands dirty in order to render a service to their university. They have the good of their Alma Mater at heart, and no one is going to doubt their sincerity. The engineering students are to be lauded for their decision, and other schools should be quick to follow the example set by them.
One freshman was held up and another was pommeted last week. This casualty list among the first year men is expected to grow when the freshman cap season opens in a few days.
Another outbreak of race riot in Omaha indicates that the amoubling fires of hatred between the negro and the white races are by no means quenched. It shows that increasing tensility of the conflict of two races of different color, and as one of a series of several similar riots, the Omaha situation prophesies no immediate solution.
THE NEGRO PROBLEM
Each race has a psychology of its own, a certain system of procedure and an attitude of mind, that can never, in its entirety be reconciled with the psychology of a different race. The negroes and the whites, while living together on a supposed plane of equality, apparently are the most divergent of all races, and it is hard to suppose that these races will ever become merged to that point where they will be able to understand each other and live as neighbors.
Working out a solution of the problem created by the Civil War and the emancipation of the negro is a difficult problem. The increasing recognition of the friction between the two races should demand careful
study, and if possible, a careful so lution.
It is not possible to legislate or educate inherent feelings out of the system, but it does seem possible that by intelligent direction, a condition could be brought about which would lessen the friction. The melting pot will never settle the difference between the negro and the whites and some other means must be found if the two races are to live peacefully.
A legitimate excuse at last has been found for the canes carried by the senior laws. One member of that class, who is an important cog in the K. U. football machine, uses his cane to get up the hill since he injured his knee in scrimmage.
"MY SUBJECT WILL BE—"
A. F. Whytt, a member of the British Parliament who is to be a guest of the University Wednesday, has promised to meet and speak to the members of Professor Davis's class in "War and Peace". It is understood that Mr. Whytt is an authority on British labor conditions, and while it is expected that he will speak on that subject, it is hoped by an important group in the University that he may by some means be diverted from it. This group, of course, is Professor Davis's class. Recently the members of this class voted unanimously in favor of the visitor speaking on some phase of the international situation, preferably the League of Nations. The class is making an intensive study of the League at the present time, taking up the covenant article by article. Although it has been at the study less than two weeks, it has long since sunk into the sea of doubt regarding the interpretation of some of the provisions.
It may surprise Mr. Whytt if instead of being a lecturer on the British labor situation at the University he find himself throwing a life line to the floundering students of the German peace treaty. Stranger things have happened.
STREETS SHOULD BE SAFE
A news story says students ar crowding the library. It is though however, the interest is in date book instead of reference books.
A more adequate police protection than Lawrence now has might not have prevented the hold-up and robbery Saturday night of a University student. Always there is a lawless element which operates and defies the most vigilant protection.
Obviously, however, greater protection for the students and townpeople than they now enjoy would be acceptable. They must not go on losing their money and gold watches. The robbery Saturday night may only have been an exceptional instance, but on the other hand it may have been the first of a series of similar hold attempts. At any rate the situation is too serious to pass over without action. Every effort must be made to make the streets of Lawrence safe places to walk, day or night. Real protection is the cheapest in the end, and University students and the people of Lawrence should demand it.
Mental Lapses
"I suppose I could offer that as an explanation," said the girl reflectively.—Louisville Courier-Journal.
IN LIFE, IN DEATH—MORE PEP
It was a death-bed scene, but the director was not satisfied with the hero's acting.
"Come on!" he cried. "Put more life in your dying!"—Film Fun.
A POSSIBLE EXCUSE
“You'd better marry me. Eligible men are scarce.”
A POSSIBLE EXCUSE
"Well, I don't know that it will make a man successful, but it ought to be a delightful study."—Kansas City Journal.
PLEASURE AND PROFIT
"A successful man must study the faults of others."

THE WANDERER
Tried to trick my feet to dance.
Tried to coax my lips to mirth.
Past him-oh, for I was young?
Past him-oh, for I was young?
Turned to look—but he was game!
Once he came the wanderer Chance,
Sprang up faun-like from the earth.
Maryland, 1765.
Scrambleed down a violet bank. Caskey, a man of high grace, my glance. His own was gay and cruel; his eyes, confused, afraid. Hid his eye, confined, afraid. Hid him beamed to linger, then he assumed to kiss, then
Feary pervise of Romance,
Saw you wipe off spring
Now I know the wanderer Chance
Oh, he knew it all the while,
he knew it all the while.
Last too late I learned the truth.
He said I learned his life.

Campus Opinion
Editor The Daily Kansan:—
Not long ago the Kansas City Star published a story about K. U.'s rush week in which it told of one girl who went to school with her. The article went into detail about the gay life of rush week, telling how this socrity and that fraternity outdid the others by making the greater show before their prospective pledges. Both the tone and the contents of the story were shocking; the women who knew little of K. U. life would imagine it to be a place where only money and frivolous notions count. The Kansas City Star goes into many of the homes of Kansas—both urban and rural where young men and young women are waiting for their husbands. They tend the University of Kansas. When the edition of the Star carrying that story went into such homes hod did it affect the self-made father? What did the mother think about sending her daughter to K. U.? Should the father feel that he is doing his son's work better than going to College and provides him with a staircase of only $75 a month?
It is hardly right for a Missouri paper to give the outside world an opinion of the University and seriously to be doubted whether the Kansas City Star conveyed the right idea. E. J. J.
H. C. L. WINS AGAIN
The High Cost of Living, sauntering along the Highway of Life, met the Honest Workman, who was the honest person his highest encounter with Capital.
"Congratulate me," cried the Honest Workinman.
"But why are you always going on strikes?" demanded the High Cost of Living.
"Because you make it necessary," retorted the Honest Workingman. "It's all your fault."
"You boob!" exclaimed the High Cost of Living. "Don't you realize that the more money you get, the more I'm going to tax you?"
"I'll take it out of your hide right now while I've got you!" cried the Honest Workmaning, swinging his lusty right at the solar plexus of the High Cost of Living, who easily press the blow and countered with his left.
They were mixing it up at a lively clip when there happened by a poor, miserable, shuffling creature, derivially known to the populace as the Man with the Fixed Income. Curious to know what it was all about, he entered close, and, he maneuvered sufficiently agile to escape the melee, the Cornervor's verdict being, "Death from causes unknown."
Moral—From him that hath not it shall be taken away, even that which he hath—Life.
A great man is coming to this country, to be for a while the Ambassador of Great Britain. He is known as Sir Edward Grey, who, as Foreign Secretary, conducted the correspondence that took Great Britain into the war. Where character is respected, there is no one more honored than Lord Grey. The British king sent here. It did not wish to make any mistake, and it has made none. Lord Grey will bring with him some of the atmosphere of the early conservation of the war, when England's heart in these States that cared for righteousness. He it was, more than any other one man, who put England where she belonged. He it did gravely, understanding the cost, acupuncture, the right occasion till it came.
LORD EDWARD GREY
They say in London that his errand here is to save the world. He saved it once when he put England into the war. It would not do to say that he may save it again by bringing the United States into the peace, for that is a duty that Americans must shoulder for themselves. But when we have got into the peace, Lord Grey can do much to make us feel
that we are where we belong. And he will do it, if any man can. There is no man in England whose wagon is hitched to a nobler star than his; no man who sees the world bigger, more sympathetic, with more sympathy, and has more power to lead generous spirits to the rescue of both...life.
