The Daly Kansan aims to picture the undergraduates to go for further than merely printing the news from their university; they need the vasty holds, to play no fancy role; be clean; to be cheerful; to be on-tarmouth; to be unassuming; to have ground problems to wiser heads; in all, to serve to the University.
TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1919.
Prosperity and Advancement had just driven into Lawrence.
"We wish to go to the University of Kansas," they said.
POLITICS AND TORYISM
"Well then you'd better walk," answered the Truthful Stude. "The roads on the Hill are so bad your car would get stuck sure, and the street cars are in the habit of jumping the track."
The Tory mind, which once was such a factor in national politics, was thoroughly committed to the idea that for efficiency in government we must call upon private individuals, actuated by a desire for great financial gain. Recent developments in the University have revealed that individuals showing characteristics of such a mind are present on Mount Oread.
Remarks have been made in public gatherings and in private that only days when student graft was notorious were students provided with the kind of parties they desired.
Such blind, perverted insinuations that graft is necessary for obtaining best results from student activities do more against securing student government than any foolish and impracticable rulings the Senate may endeary to enforce. The holding and voicing of such ideas, if such were general among all students, would constitute irrefutable arguments that the students of the University of Kansas are not capable or worthy of having a part in their own government.
Expressions of such sentiments, however, come from the smallest minority. Student graft can never come back any more than many vices in national politics can come back. The reason is because student sentiment is against it and it is for this reason that the students believe themselves capable of having a voice in their own control.
The demand for popular government is not actuated by greed and desire of individual gain. The demand of the majority, we believe, is not for greatly higher priced University affairs and activities. And it is most emphatically not for extravagance.
The great reason for the struggle against Senate control is for the principle that the students themselves are fitted for and worthy of having a voice in their own government, and to keep the Senate out of affairs in which it is not needed and for which it has shown itself most incapable.
By advocating the principles of Toryism the students can never prove themselves worthy of their own rights.
A CHEAP POLICY
With the Bell Memorial Hospital condemned by the head of the medical department as "nothing but a shack," and with many young men and women going to other schools of medicine because facilities are not provided in Kansas, the cheap John politicians of the state may now look back upon their works with complacency and self-satisfaction.
The chief objections of the cheap johns, it would seem, are that Kansas does not need a medical school and that Kansas men and women should not be educated in medicine. As a result of such beliefs the School of Medicine of the State University is a "shack" inadequate for teaching purposes and provided with no free beds—a condition surpassed by many hospitals even in poorest Mexico.
Probably the greatest cause for the present condition of Bell Memorial Hospital is that the budget of $400,000 asked for two years ago, was practically cut out by Fred Knapp, state auditor. Only large appropriations by the present legislature can save the School of Medicine.
Such conditions of the state schools of a commonwealth which boasts of its wealth, generosity, and educational institutions cannot fail to bring the blush of shame to citizens really interested in the state's prosperity. Nearly every neighboring state has provided hospitals with hundreds of free beds. The hospital at Rosedate is without a single free bed.
Furthermore, as Doctor Bohan suggested, the facilities of Bell Memorial Hospital, as the state medical school, constitute an injustice to the students who are giving their time and effort to to study of medicine. Kansas should recognize the talent of her youth and the debt of humanity to the profession of medicine by building a great state medical school and, abandoning cheap john policies of statesmanship.
ON A NEW PLAN
The history department of Columbia may seem to be putting the cart before the horse when it starts students with twentieth century history and works back to the study of earlier periods. But the plan has a definite advantage. The purpose of studying history has been said to be to analyze past events with an eye to understanding present happenings and probably forecasting the future. As a means to enable one to pick out past events that lead to the interpretation of present problems, a preliminary study of these present problems doubtless is valuable.
SILVER CHEVRONS
The papers have had a prolonged case of fidgets over the silver chevrons issued recently to service men whose duty was done in this country and not abroad. It comes back to whether the public has any real idea of what the stay-at-homes did. The information has been rather amply spread abroad, but, of course, it may not have soaked in. This may or may not prove to be the last war of our times. If it is, then the service men stationed here made possible our share in winning it, and are entitled to all the credit that goes to the devisers of far-flung plans and to the builders of strong foundations. If it is not, then the service men on this side of the Atlantic have fortified us for years to come against the danger of being unable to play our part effectively in the next war. Thanks to them, we now know exactly how to plan, locate, and build any sort of plane factory, and to plane factory to a school for army cooks; how to estimate for, buy, make and move each and all of the 100,000 or 200,000 separate sorts of things that a modern army has to move; to raise and handle man, and so on and so on. The mind reels in trying to imagine the vast masses of type-written memoranda, photographs, blue prints, and other documents which record all these practical details of how to save our nation's life in time of peril. The United States plans no wars, harries no man's cattie, and grudges no one his own, but if the time ever comes again when Bryan rhetorical million freeman have to spring to arms, they will know how We owe that to the wearers of the silver chevrons—Collier's.
Readable Verse
A very well-purified lady Has telephoned in here to find out The peace situation in Europe— What the commissioners are doing And what the outcome will be As affecting our own country. The lady has to read the paper On this fascinating subject Before the litter club next week And she has been reading the
papers
Until her mind is a jumble,
Or that is what she said,
Oh maybe it was jungle.
Our own opinion is that
The subject it too involved
For any litter club to tackle
But we will give our understand
THE SITUATION
Of the situation as follows,
After reading all we could
In the public prints:
Serbia will be satisfied if she
Gets all of nothern Italy
And two-thirds of Greece.
Per dewands Oporto as a free por
For her pearl button trade.
Greece will be satisfied if she get
Serbia and half of Romania.
Switzerland demands the
Freedom of the cheese,
And Lloyd George had a haircut
In Paris last Friday.
Everybody favors disarmament
And Wilson other powers.
On the Bois, but does not:
Ride a motorcycle.
That is the situation
In a nutshell.
On Other Hills
The University of Utah is discussing a new plan for managing student enterprise finances. Class treasurers will pay all dues into a single fund from which they may take expenses for student parties to the amount of a previous estimate ratified by the governing council.

The famed flat foot was the cause of only 1.3 per cent of the rejections for service, medical figures show. Cold feet casualties have never been compiled, but judging by slacker marriages and other indications, their percentage was much higher—Evening Missouri.
Under terms of a rule recently adopted by the faculty of the State University of Montana, credits toward the degrees of the university may be granted for service in the army and navy of the United States on certain conditions prescribed by the committee on admission and administration.

"War tax?" The prisoner raised his brows.
"Why, yes," and the judge, "didn't you have $5.00 worth of pleasure out of it?"
An English schoolmaster promised a crown to any boy who should propound a riddle that he could not answer. After many had tried, a bright youngster said: 'Why am I here?' Schoolmaster W. White asked the schoolmaster puzzled his wits in vain, and finally was compelled to admit that he did not know.

Discoverer of Helium Refutes Senate Report On Location of Gas
Professor Cady Asserts Kansas is Rich in Sources of
Helium Gas
The testimony that helium gas is found only in Oklahoma and Texas given by Col. William E. Gilmore before the Senate military affairs subcommittee, Saturday, was strongly rejected as a doctoral dissertation of chemistry, who first discovered helium gas, and who made the later investigations possible.
"Kansas also contains sources of helium gas which yield gas that is richer in helium than much of that in Oklahoma and Texas," said Doctor Bauer. The states are found in Canada and in some parts of Europe in small quantities.
Colonel Gilmore, who urged immediate Congressional action to enable the government to acquire these deposits of helium gas, told the senators how the army expected that the use of helium gas, which is non-combustible would revolutionize warfare in the use of balloons. He said that the foreign governments would try to obtain the gas lands.
"I think that it would be wise for the United Stated to obtain control of these sources of helium, and that the action should be extended to cover the gases in Kansas as well as in Oklahoma and Texas. If is probable that some action may be taken soon, and that the United States should adopt this stage to the United States to acquire these fields of gas that are rich in helium."
"The foreign governments know all about the hellum both in Europe and America," continued Doctor Cady. "They have used our methods of investigation and they have published their results widely."
Non-Resident Students Do Not Evade K. U. Fees
In answer to Colonel Glilmore's assertion that the discovery of the gas was accidental, resulting from complaints by consumers that they were being sold gas that would not burn, and that this came at a time when such equipment was in need of such gas for inflating aircraft. Professor Cadv said;
More Than 400 in University Come from Homes Outside of Kansas
"The discovery was not accidental, but was made in a deliberate attempt to find what was present in a sample of natural gas from Dexter, Kansas that would not burn. We went about the investigation with the expectation that helium would be found in the gas and we found it. It was not done at a time when the War Department was in need of it for inflating aircraft. It was done eleven years before the United States entered the war. During the year or two following the discovery of helium in this sample, we made a survey of all the natural gas developed in this country and in Canada, and we determined the quantity of helium in each sample.
University students may be short of funds, but they are not so hard-up they try to evade the enrollment fee of $10 when they are residents of other states, the registrar's office affirms. The total registration of non-resident students in the University is 440; of resident students, 2,861. These figures include the S. A. T. C. in this school.
All students enrolling give the names and addresses of their parent, so that reports of scholastic standing may be sent to them. If they give their own addresses as Lawrence, when their parents live outside the state, the matter is checked up and they are obliged to pay the extra ten dollars. Few instances of this sort have occurred.
All makes of safety razor blades at the City Drug Store—Adv.
If a man or woman is of age, and can prove that he is self-supporting, he can reside wherever he desires. He can call himself a resident of Lawrence or any other town in Kansas, and he does not have to pay the Umi-10, even though his parents or guardians may happen to live in Missouri.
The clerks who collect the various fees for the University are of the opinion that none of the students are trying to beat the state out of money, and that even if they wanted to, it would be practically impossible.
