The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students of the University than merely印刷 the news by standing for the ideals the University wants them to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be intelligent; to be wiser head; in all, to serve the students of the University.
MONDAY SEPTEMBER 29,1919
B. C. OR NOW?
Too little attention is paid by K. U.
students to the modern trend of events
as interpreted by the daily newspapers
and the latest books.
During his class hours and his period set for study the student usually is engaged in finding the causes for the early European wars rather than the fundamental truths of the World War. In preparing the foundation on which he expects to erect an intimate knowledge of things as they are today, he lets the present slip into the past without grasping the significance of the events of which he is a part.
In his spare hours he often neglects the newspaper for a picture show; a speech concerning the position of the United States if the League of Nations is adopted for a social function, or a good book, for a library date. Too often the student's neglect is due to nothing but his own lack of interest rather than any lack of time. Students would do well to become as well acquainted with the front page of a newspaper ai with the sporting and society pages. Only by keeping in touch with present world events can the K. U. graduate leave school with a broad, well-founded, and workable education.
CUT DOWN EXPENSES
The alumni of the University, in organizing a permanent Committee on Housing Students with the idea of having as one phase of its work the establishment of the co-operative houses have started in the right direction.
A dollar a day for board and from $10 to $20 a month for room rent may not place the Lawrence landlady in the profiling class, but it is rather high for those of limited means who wish to attend the University. It is too high if cheaper board and rent can be brought about through the organization of co-operative houses.
A University cafeteria would go long way toward meeting the boarding problem. It certainly has proven successful at the Kansas State Normal school at Emporia, where nearly as many students are now at K. U. were enrolled this summer. So popular was the cafeteria that not more than three or four boarding clubs existed, and to avoid the rust at most hours it became necessary for the cafeteria to prohibit town people from taking their meals there. The meals are prepared by students in the home ecomics department and served at cos at a cheaper rate than any boarding club could possibly do it. Such an institution would result in a great stipi- to many students with limited mean
DOES COLLEGE PAY?
The most misunderstood laborers in the steel industry are receiving a minimum wage of forty five cents an hour or $4.50 a day for a ten hour班. Practically all these men are foreigners...hunks with less than a common school education. Men with more skill, but not more than the average American of common school education receive $10 a day and upwears. Everywhere laborers as a class are receiving as high or higher wages than a big percentage of college graduates working on salaries. Naturally, the question arises, "Does college pay?"
Considering the question from this economic side only, the relationship between a college graduate and wages, college does pay however, or at least college will pay. The present condition cannot be otherwise than superficial. In the readjustment of industry to war conditions and the resulting high prices, organized labor forged ahead in its demand for increased wages while the salaried workers remained practically at a standstill. The salaried workers did not have the stimulus of organization and the increase in their pay is following the slow moving natural route.
The balance must be restored because without executives laborers can not long run an industry. Eventually, the law of supply and demand will create higher salaries for these executives, who, in a large part, will be recruited from the college graduates of the country. In time the basis of pay again will be determined largely by what a man knows rather than by how many cubic feet of dirt he can shovel in an hour.
By the time the freshman of today is a graduate, college will pay.
SAVE THE BOOKS
It would be an almost Utopian situation probably if everyone would entirely overcome his selfishness, but we have a right to expect the student of the University should be honest if not unselfish. The fact that some students carry their selfishness to the point of dishonesty is shown by the fact that some books mysteriously disappear from the different libraries on the Hill.
It is probable that most of the missing ones are taken for class work at times when they are not allowed to be taken from the library and the selfish borrower neglects to return them.
It should be unnecessary to say that the books in the library are for everyone and to take one and not return it is as bad a form of stealing as any other kind.
ENGLISH FIRST
Almost a thousand students have enrolled in the first-year English, every one of them will betray by his speech what his previous environment and training have been. The home, the neighborhood, and the public school are all responsible for the fact that very few young people enter college with any real genuine working acquaintance with their own tongue. To drink the deepest possible draught from the masters who have created our literature is the primary object of the course. But if the student does not form the habit, this first year, of correct, decisive, as well as graceful and inspiring speech, he misses a rather more important matter. To learn how to talk in the thousand and one demands of daily life, whatever one's calling may be is worth a life-long effort.
STILL MONDAY
Lectured for lying abed late, the farmer's boy promised that in future he would "be up with the lark." The next morning the old farmer came from his milking and found his son sitting on the stile and singing as biblately as though there was no such thing as work.
"Why you young rascal," said his exasperated wife, "this is worse than being on that show and singing at the top of your voice!"
"Why, dad, you told me to be like the lark, and that's all he does when he gets up early."—Columbus Evening Dispatch.

An important question in connection with the right of property owners has come up for discussion in England, and will soon be to be settled in America also. The whole issue of trespass and damage is involved.
WHO OWNS THE AIR?
At a meeting in London of the Civil Aerial Transport Committee it was asked:
The committee's report emphatically declared that the sovereignty of the air over British dominies lay at the crown and that any acceptance of the terms of *lum* "the sky is the limit"—put forward by property-holders would be fatal to aeronautics. The committee further recommended that legislation be introduced, allowing right of the landowner to ownership of the air above his property.
"Who owns the air?"
The law stands at present, flying over an estate without permission is a trespass. In support of this it is pointed out, for instance, that telegraph or telephone wires cannot be thrown over the garden without the consent of the owner, even if the posts supporting them are outside of the property question. Technically, also the law forbids the lot of a gun across a garden lot without permission of the owner of the lot in question. What, then, is the landlord entitled to legally in the case of machines飞奔 above his property?
The risk of damage is considerable.
A heavy wrench, for instance, may fall from a machine and kill a cow grazing in a field, or smash in a roof. If the aviator guilty of negligence, he will be sent to jail. How is he to be identified?
A league of nations to enforce peace has a simple problem compared to the difficulty of solving this question of air ownership. If it must be admitted, but every government must take up the whole question of air ownership and air liability, not merely from the national but from the international point of view—Munsey's.
It has been suggested that flying below a certain level should be made a trespass, and to that extent the landowner should have property in the air. But the question of inability for damage arising from machines flying at higher levels has not yet been settled.
Mental Lapses
H1S CHIEF TROUBLE
There is an elevator boy in a New York office building who is among a large number of public servants who resort needless questions.
One day there entered his car a rather fussy old lady, and garrulous as well.
"Don't you ever feel sick going up and down in this elevator all day?" she asked.
"Yes, ma'am," said the boy.
"Is it the motion going down?"
"No, ma'am."
"The motion going up?"
"Is it the stopping that does it?"
"No, ma'am."
"No, ma'am."
"In it the way."
The candidate, after tiring his audience, wound up as follows:
"Then what is it?"
"Answering questions, ma'am."— Everybody's.

"Yes," shouted a bored voice from the audience, "you want chloroform."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph.
There was a good deal of sound human nature in the unexpected reply of the dyed colored woman in Alabama to her minister's leading queen
"Here at the end of a long life, which of the Lord's mercies are you most thankful for?"
"Mah friends," said a colored preacher, the Scriptural rule for giving to others. "If you do, if you so, you can't afford so much, just give a sixth of a afohr, accordin to yo' means. We will disdain this next nexh an take up bo collection."
The old woman's eyes brightened as she answered: "Mah victuals."

RED HAIR

A perturbed correspondent of the News raises an interesting question. Do women, he wishes to know, shu r-headed men, and, if so, why? His own hair is of the hue sometimes thoughtlessly and inaccurately described as carrot-color. Hence the query is of vital personal importance. The writer asks a person to "serious consideration," but each time has been met with discouragement due, he believes, solely to the tinge of his hair. The matter is one calling for the thoughtful attention of the philosopher and the sociologist. If women generally are frowning on the matrimonial offers of red-haired men, the future of the race is threatened. Was it not a red-haired man born in such a country that war against the Hunt? Society cannot afford to lose the red-headed temperament because of the perplexing perversity of marriageable women.
Perhaps the correspondent is mistaken in his belief that red hair is the cause of his lack of success as a model for women. There has been in the last few years an increase in the number of Titan-locked women that can be painted with red hair. Hairyline advertisements dwell on the perfection of conceptions designed to change a crop of black or brown hair to a beautiful aburr, and there is a large amount of other compounds are having a wide sale.
Proverbially inconsistent as woman may be, she does not usually go to the extreme of disliking a natural beauty in one case and admiring an unnatural imitation of it in another. But even if the ornamental sex must be put down as unreasonable to so extreme a degree, the redhead can nevertheless take consultation for feminine neglect. Her sexual orientation could be valuable than feminine appeal; who ever heard of a war without a red-headed hero? Who ever saw a red-headed trump? -From the Indianapolis news.
A "Know Ohio" night will be introduced into the state University Monday night. All students will wear标签 bearing the words "Know Ohio" and then wear a name. The cheerleader will direct the freshmen in learning Ohio songs.
Ohio freshmen are compelled to buy peanut caps as a part of their registration.
