Painting a tradition
Law statue an old prankster target
Jimmy Green
The black armband adorning the statue of Jimmy Green during the October War Moratorium was not the first addition to the statue since its creation in 1921. The statue has been the constant victim of pranksters since it was placed in front of Green Hall a half century ago.
In its earliest years, the statue got the most attention from engineering students who made sure "Uclee" Jimmy always had a green coat to wear for St. Patrick's Day. In 1944, four engineering students were caught painting black hair, white faces and red vests, as well as the traditional green coats, on Green and his young friend.
The statue got three new outfits in 1949. The last was an orange coat with white-striped trousers and a shamrock to hold.
The next year, Green was
tarred and feathered. A slide rule was chained around his feet by four padlocks.
Uncle Jimmy and his companion, Alfred C. Alvord, the first KU student killed in war, have not escaped the KU-K-State rivalry. Twelve K-State students were kept in the Lawrence jail overnight after being caught painting the statue in 1947. They got the chance to clean off their artwork the next morning before heading back to Manhattan.
The statue was voluntarily cleaned only once when 20 independent women cleaned and oiled the bronz figures in 1945. Four days later Uncle Jimmy and his friend were repainted.

Let's Get It Straight
While traveling in the north of Italy, a man stayed at an inn where the floor was very dirty. "I was about to ask the landlady to scrub it," he said, "until I realized that it was made of mud, and that the more she scrubbed it the worse it would be."
DIRTY FLOORS
It is the same with human nature. There can be no improvement of man's naturally corrupt heart and life apart from God. The Italian inn would have had to have an entirely new floor installed before it could be kept clean; and a man must have an entirely new nature—he must be born again before his life can please God.
Some people have a religion that is nothing but a code of morality, forgetting that morality in itself is no ticket to heaven. God does not judge us primarily by the way we behave, but by why we behave as we do. The man who sends a large donation to charity, so that he may vindicate himself in his own eyes and the eyes of others, is acting from motives totally unacceptable to God, while the poor person who sacrifices a dollar out of love to God and man is accepted of Him. The motive makes all the difference. But how to acquire right motives?
God has made provision for this by sending His Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to die on the cross, pay for your sins, and set you free from their penalty, which is spiritual death. If you will accept His sacrifice in your behalf, and receive Him as your Saviour, you will be born anew. Then it will no longer be a matter of scrubbing a mud floor, but of possessing a floor of an entirely different nature, that can be cleansed daily by the grace of God. He offers you this exchange right now. Will you accept it today?

The statue was created by Daniel Chester French, who also produced the Lincoln memorial statue in Washington, D.C. The bronze figures cost $40,000, $10,000 less than Green Hall had cost in 1903.
The law building and the statue commemorate James Woods Green, dean of the School of Law for 40 years.
The first glass-walled building in the world was the Halladie Building constructed in San Francisco in 1918.
BARGAIN? ..only a professional knows
Today, all diamonds have determinable value. If a stone has any worthy quality to it, a jeweler can obtain the standard price for it and doesn't need to sell it to you "wholesale." Many so-called "bargain" diamonds have first been marked up in order to be "slashed down." It costs no more to buy your diamond from a reputable firm with qualified personnel to properly evaluate the stone you select. As members of the American Gem Society, you may be assured of both our reliability and proven knowledge.
