The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergarment industry and its students, to go further than merely printing the news; aiming for something more than just to play no favoritizer; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be courageous; to leave more serious problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the students of the University.
FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1919
Now that Henry Allen has been bounced and jolted over the trails that serve as highways on Mount Oread, it seems fair to assume that good roads booster for the University have gained another adherent in the governor.
SOCIAL IMPEDIMENT
Much disatisfaction has been expressed by men and women interested in athletics over the practice of making fraternity calls at a time when they interfere with basketball games. The reason given by many students for not attending athletic contests is lack of time. In many cases this may be true, but there are other students affairs not as important as athletics which should be dropped if there is a necessity.
In the society column of Wednesday's Daily Kansan ten fraternity calls were announced for Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday nights. These calls last from 7 until 8 o'clock and prevent those who attend from going to games. In the same issue of The Daily Kansan were announced the basketball games for Wednesday and Thursday nights that would probably decide the Missouri Valley championship.
Perhaps the conflict this week in social and athletic affairs was the result of carelessness. Perhaps it was a manifestation of lack of interest in athletic events. Whatever the cause, there is a strong feeling growing against making fraternity calls during the entire school year.
The question has been introduced in the Men's Pan-Hellenic Council and it is possible that a plan for holding open house during three or four weeks at the beginning of the school year will be adopted. This would give the Greek societies sufficient time and opportunity to get acquainted and would also prevent the interference of social calls with athletic events.

Consistency, what's your street number? When can you be found at home? You're needed back at the old job. We've paged the club rooms where the virtues hang out for diversion and relaxation. We've tried to find you during business hours. Mount Oread is getting sore about your absence. You're needed! Consistency, where art thou?
All of which is intended to infer that consistency as a quality possessed by the average student in the University is manifested mainly by its absence.
Behould the student who occupies his spare time in invoking earth, high heaven and the University Senate to attend to the crying needs of the alma mater. He goes from one extreme to another. His expostulations are scattered by spoken word and written symbol. His greatest glory is to see his name in print. First appearances would indicate that as the one original little savior of popular liberties, he is entitled to stand with G. Washington.
But those with the gift of prophecy seem prone to say that in the first student elections this same man with a distorted smile upon his nervous countenance will be passing little cards bearing his name to the passing throne of students. He will urge them to vote. Oh, yes, the votes will be for himself or his clique. And thus is explained his mania for popularity
Along the same line, the man who constantly warns University women to exercise great care in keeping their bank accounts straight is frequently disturbed by being called to the phone to explain bad checks. The student who implores the adoption of the honor system has been known to calmly appropriate material from his neighbor's quiz book, and the women who break the date rule most frequently are particularly chummy with members of the W. S. G. A. Council.
The man whose organization is excessively extravagant talks seriously and at some length with his instructors about the desirability of cutting the prices for dances. The student who rarely looks at a book is most likely to go up to the professor after class and evidence an unnaturally avid interest in the course.
People who know the least announce their opinions as final decrees on topics of current interest, and assume that when their views of the subject are clearly known all is settled. The most ignorant are the most arbitrary.
The University is supporting an unusually large class of soap-box dictators this season.
This is old stuff. We know it. But
at least we aren't trying to pass it as new.
LANGUAGES AS ASSETS
LANGUAGES AS ASSETS
The old idea of the necessity of eradicating the mother tongue in order to nationalize foreigners belongs to past centuries. It found its highest expression in the Prussian system and therefore is not worthy of twentieth century consideration.
However, the question has arisen in the Hawaiian Islands, where Japanese language schools exist side by side with the American territorial schools. While all Japanese of school age are required to attend the territorial schools, nearly all of them are also students in the language schools outside of English school hours. Whether or not these Japanese schools, about fifty in number, shall continue under present conditions will be discussed by the territorial legislature.
Prof. Vaughn MacCaughey of the College of Hawaii expresses the opinion that the Japanese in Hawaii should be given full opportunity to learn their mother tongue, as children well versed in both English and Japanese will help cement the friendship between America and the Orient.
A friendship gained in this way is more permanent than one forced upon a people by the eradication of the native language, for this is the basic part of one's life. Many American children learn several languages; it is found to be a personal asset as well as a public benefit. The Japanese language, properly taught, has great cultural value. The German language, which at present seems in danger of being forever driven from American schools, also has great educational value.
Read the Daily Kansan.
As long as there is something beneficial to be gained, as long as nationalism is not affected, why not let the students of foreign languages pursue their studies at will?
Readable Verse
When life was a cobweb or stars for Beauty who came
On dawn-lit hills and horizons girdled with flame
THE TRIUMPH
With death in the terrible flickering
snow of the flight
with/name
I sought for the triumph chat
the faces of man
of the wrapper to traverse or a slender long cry in the glen.
I was cruel and fierce with despair.
I was naked and bound;
was stricken; and Beauty returned
through the assemblies of wight.
through the shambles of night;
in the faces of men she returned;
Phrasal, Tense

Campus Opinion
The University of Kansas is popularly known as a "Society School." This impression is in part deserved and in part due to thoughtless exaggerations by the students and unwise publicity in the news columns
All communications to this column must be signed by the writer as evidence of his sincerity, the name will appear on all of his author's specifies. Communications are welcome.
BILLIKIN
Now the University Senate is seeking to curtail and limit social affairs in response to this criticism. But do they act in a diplomatic and democratic manner, do they explain the situation and ask for co-operation and responsibility? No, they adopt the autocratic and discredited method of Force, they talk of cooperation and ask for public opinion, then disregard it. Instead of considering students as young men and young women, they treat them as infants or insane persons incapable of self control or self government. Why not appeal to student loyalty, to a sense of responsibility and co-operation? Why not?
Because the average college professor is a natural autocrat, a dictator of the classroom, whose words are the utterances of a prophet or a god, and to whom opposition or independence of thought is unbeatable. He is a specialist, an expert in his particular subject; but he is intolerant, he is marrow, he has a very low opinion of student mentality or ability. At the same time he has the confidence in himself, his ideas and abilities, but distrusts others, especially the student who must tremble and quake before the awful possibility of a loss of credit or degree.
Arabs: "Peace be with you."
His attitude is that of the dictator, the autocrat, rather than that of the adviser and instructor. Is the ideal of force, of irresponsibility among students, of distrust and suspicion, is that the ideal to hold before college men and women? Ah! the supreme egotism, the contempt for public opinion and opposition to publicity, with which we are confronted. Picture this University ten years hence; a monastic solemnity pervades the atmosphere, an awful quiet hovers like a cloud over Mount Ouread, 'tis the graveyard of Kansas Spirit with only a few owlish faces peering at you from amidst the lifeless desolation.—The Senate is Supreme. Only a solitary ghost wanders forlently about murmuring, "Ye good old days; the things that might have been, with the students co-operating with the faculty for the good of Kansas University, of Democracy and Liberty."

Do you ever stop to write in your note book some of the fine expressions your professors give you, or are they wasted?

JOT IT DOWN By Eulalia Daugherty
in his work.
"It is a good thing to think if you but keep, your head."
Did you list these this week?
"Don't swallow things whole even if they are sugar coated."
"A well defined goal and an inspiration to reach it is the greatest threat."
"If an individual wishes to improve, he must first learn to serve."
"Are you going to be like the flowers of the field or are you going to be like the sun?"
Students get into the habit of looking to their professors for assignments only and in their eagerness in this direction they miss many of the good points which the instructor out as a result of his experiences.
Many an unpleasant situation can be avoided by heeding an older person.
"Knowledge is a great thing but its success is in its use."

In an address on "Industrial Art," Sir Frank Warner said recently at a meeting of the National Society of Art Masters in London, that manufacturer, designer, draftsman, merchant, shopkeeper, buyer and salesman must all be trained to appreciate artistic taste. When un cultivated persons are thrust out of industries improved productions, according to the manufacturer, will have a chance to reach the public. The result will be that much rubbish will be eliminated from shops and ultimately from home.
