The Daily Kaanan aims to picture the undergraduate life of the students. We encourage them rather than merely printing the news by standing for the ideals the University wants us to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courageous; to be honest; to be wiser heads; in all, to serve to the best of its ability the students of our university.

WEST WING'S LONE EXIT
One narrow door, always congeste between classes, is the only exit or entrance available in the newly opened west wing of the Administration Building. Not a single fire escape is on the building, and the windows are of such a height as to make jumping rather uncomfortable, particularly for women. The west exit, which would not be practicable for use except in emergencies, has been kept locked all year.
These are the unafraid conditions in the newest University Building. The all-concrete construction lessens the danger of fire to practically nothing, but does not serve to make the building panic-proof. A sudden whiff of smoke drifting up the stairs from a burning waste-basket might precipitate a catastrophe.
All classes in the new building are large, an average of probably 500 students being there all during the day. The throngs which crowd the only way out between classes give a slight idea of what might happen if these persons should get in a hurry. A large number of freshmen attend classes in the building, and would probably be more apt to lose their heads in case of danger than would upper-classmen.
One narrow exit, a locked door, no fire escapes—the west wing has here just the conditions which have obtained in numerous school catastrophes. The fault is perhaps partly that of the architect, for all other University buildings have back doors. Some action to safeguard the lives of students should be taken by the authorities at once.
GYM CUTS
Gym classes are just opening and now is the time for freshmen and sophomores to determine not to get that little red mark after "Exercise" at the nd of the first semester. There are undoubtedly more red marks of this kind upon transcript cards than any other, and sometimes it is the only blot that mars an otherwise perfect card. If those students start starting out in gym will remember that the work must be done sooner or later, that it is much easier to do it in the fall than in the spring, and that it is so much easier to avoid a red mark in the first place than to remove it later, surely the classes in gymnasium will start out right, and will more than likely end up in the same manner.
L. H. S. AND K. U.
When the Lawrence High School football team works on on Hamil ten Field, a large crowd of ultra-enthusiastic rooters follows every play. There are many women in this crowd.
High school yells are given and the by-standers yell out encouragement to the players and coaches, calling each by name.
When the University of Kansas football team works out on Hamilton Field, a small crowd of quiet rooters follow every day. There are never women in this crowd, merely a few sport writers, some freshmen, and more upperclassmen. The crowd is very quiet and never calls to players or coaches by name, for it knows less than a third of them.
Has Lawrence High all the pep in this town?
LODGE AND DOYLE
The spiritualism controversy still goes on in England, the belief in messages from another world having as its chief propheons Sir Olive Lodge and Conan Doyle. Sufficient proof seems to have been given that no progress of note has been made in these investigations under laboratory conditions, and many scathing remarks have been made because these men lend their names to what appears to most critics to be charlatanism.
Yet perhaps these men have motives in maintaining these beliefs that have not yet appeared. May it not be possible that they have concluded a belief in another world to be the best way of lessening the grief of the thousands in England who lost relatives in the war? And if by lending their names to the furthering of this belief, Doyle and Lodge are inspiring hope in the numberless bereaved and lessening the world's burden of grief, may they not be said to work in a good cause?

Editor University Daily Kansan:
Now that the rush of the Greek Letter society is over we are ready to offer a few suggestions on rush dates. The students will fortunate rushes receivers. During the summer these organizations date up many more prospective students than they ever hope to take. And with more they do not intend to even rush.
Instances can be cited in the last rush week where several freshmen stayed at home waiting for their hostess, to so speak, to turn up—some men and women did not arrive. They were too busy rushing several of the "star" rushes to even show any small mark of respect for those they were une certain about taking; but they insult to anyone of University are?
The sororites who do this most are the ones regarded as the "big four" the Kappas, Thetas, Pi Phi and Kappa. These policy will they may or should be in the high brow class and are really the "little" ones. That is a mean trick to deal a first year student and harden to welcome that they expect more of you. In the system here should either be abolished or placed on an honorable basis.
Spectator.
To The Daily Kansan:
With the confirmation by the Board of Administration of the Athletic Board's appointment of "Phog" Allen as director of athletics at K. A. Book for the coming year from the standpoint of the fans is very bright.
As we change managers why not change policies? For instance, the football games might be played in Kansas City. It has been estimated that the receipts of one game in the city would support the Athletic Association for a year. The attendances in Kansas City last year was an indication of what might be expected. It's worth considering.
Just to show that the University is not dead and is moving forward would it not be a good idea if the clock in the physics building could be moved? It might, but if the finances of the University will not permit its being repaired so that it will run as a clock should, arrangements should be made so that it will not run so long in the same year as the manuscript may be broken. Is curs?

"Horse Plague May Return to Kansas." Those who read only the headlines should not think that this is not a form of the work of the motorcycle cops.
The American dollar is twice as expensive to France, Belgium and Italy and eight times as expensive to Germany. There must be some truth in the old saying that "Distance lends enchantment." If the students could only make the boarding club managers realize the value of that coin.
According to press accounts "Johnson on way to the capital satisfied with the results of his trip." "Wilson starts enut much pleased with reception." Oh give us the power to see ourselves as our press see us.
There is one strike that would please this country—a propaganda strike. Its the most overworked word and system in the newspapers.
The Old Timer and the Young Cub wandered over the golf links, returning from MeCook Field.
The Old Timer
"Let's look at this locust tree," said the Old Timer as they approached a venerable specimen covered with invertebrates. The bird fell down a limb and looked at it closely.
"I can't get over how much bigger the trees are than they used to be when I was in school before," said Timer, looking toward the big locust.
"Look here," he said, "see all this fresh bark below the joint where it quit growing last year? That means this limb has grown at least six inches this year, and the tree is a foot wider than last fall. Now let's count the growth and see how much it has grown since 1941, when I entered school."
"If they'd had one or two more barracks building last year, that biggest one wouldn't be here now," remarked the Cub.
They counted, and discovered that the locust was at least five feet wider than in 1914. Further along was a warrior of the same species, the two stepped to examine.
"Willow trees grow fast," said the Old Timer. "See them are limbs of the 1919 season three feet long. And look at all these water sprouts—they're new every one, and some of them are five feet in length. We'll soon have more willows up here than there's room for."

KEEPING BOOKS
Edward N. Hurley, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, says that one of the greatest defects in American business is bad bookkeeping. Manifestly, the business whose books are not properly kept is like a ship running without a compass.
The bookkeeping course at the Lawrence Business College trains the student in accuracy, in concentration, in definiteness of effort, in persistence and in the fundamentals of sound business—besides which it qualifies him to earn a living with his pen, if need be. The Income Tax Law makes it incumbent upon everybody to keep books.
We invite an investigation of our work and recommend that young people who wish to secure a business education arrange to enter our school. Enrollments accepted any time. Our catalogue is free.
