Quoth the Raven,
'Autumn Is Here!'
Comment
"The goldenrod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown;
The trees in apple orchards
With fruit are bending down."
Autumn is here.
It isn't in the air. (Ha ha, we fooled you there.)
Blue Mound rises in a smoky haze.
And speaks of coming winter days.
Autumn is here.
Far across the golden valley (Say, this is right down our alley.)
Autumn is here.
Autumn is here.
Whispers, murmurs—of the breezes (Talk about narrow squeezes).
Autumn is here.
But on the horizon, a cloud is dark;
It's the spectre—of winter stark.
Autumn is here.
Gorse in wedges wend their way (they
Gesees in wedges wend their way (they even seem a little gay)
even seem a jute gay):
Autumn is here (still).
This is really a pertinent verse,
We hope the picture you've seen.
But it could have been much worse.
(More pertinent, we mean.)
Autumn is here.
Summer has went.
Winter is near.
Our rhyme is spent.
Could One Give To a Better Cause?
The rewards offered for the arrest and conviction of Russell Kelly's assault from both public and private funds should materially aid in the capture of the fugitive. The unidentified person who so ruthlessly beat Kelly is still at large. All available weapons must be used in the hunt.
Rewards give the added incentive to individuals in other communities not so well acquainted with the case to keep on the lookout for clues, as well as furthering the enthusiasm of those already interested. Rewards show the general public determination to find and bring this man to justice.
Their value is in enlisting widespread help as a supplement to the efforts of law enforcement agencies.
Some effort should be made to gather funds toward this end in the University.
Little Salesmen
--Or Little Slaves?
Are newsboys the future leaders of this country? Yes, says a large advertisement pictureing contented mothers talking about their son's no worry at all since acquiring a paper route. A "healthful activity" this paper-selling where "boys learn by doing."
However, opinion and statistics vary on this controversial subject. Warden Lawes of New York's Sing Sing prison states that a large percentage of the inmates are former "little merchants" and route carriers. Other authorities condemn the newspaper system for using minors to distribute and sell their papers at a wage so low as to be unbelievable. This practice is blamed for many of the delinquencies in the ranks of youth today.
Such an advertisement will no doubt encourage mothers of idle boys of school age to get their sons paper routes. That is the objective for the advertisement, which bears the endorsement of International Circulation Managers Association. Dirty business in the Fourth Estate.
He Didn't Take In Enough Territory-of organization is a barrier to the labor movement because he has failed to meet the changed demands of labor.
Speaking before the Building Trades convention in Denver, William Green once again declared open war on John L. Lewis and that "subversive" force, the C.I.O. All organizations within the A. F. of L. which are sympathetic to the C.I.O. were ordered to "get out and stay out." Again Mr. Green accused Mr. Lewis of being the sabotager of the labor movement. However, a glance at the record casts a light of different color on the situation.
The C.I.O. came into existence and thrived because there was a large group of workers left unorganized by the strict craft lines of the A.F. of L. Because of the introduction of mass production these workers have no craft; they have literally become lever and button pushers, and there is no room in the A.F. of L. for lever pushers.
The C.I.O. has not established itself on so high a perch—it has accepted all and in one strong and comprehensive industrial union. For this reason its strikes have been effective. The mistreatment of one type of workers means the stopping of production by all the employees of that plant.
William Green with his sectarian methods
He Can't See But He Can Drive
Every driver in Kansas is required to have a license. New licenses were acquired by the payment of 50 cents if application was made before Oct. 1. If not made before that time, examination is required to prove driving efficiency.
Licensing and examination could be an effective safety measure, but in this case those who are definitely incompetent were probably first under the line. Many persons who are unaware of their disabilities may have secured licenses before Oct. 1 when, had they been forced to take an examination, they might otherwise have discovered unknown defects of sight and hearing.

Re: Two Music Critics of the Old School
Editor Daily Kannan:
As you well know there is only one critie of the old school extant west of the Mississippi and neither you nor I have to guess who that is, but that isn't the purpose of this letter.
I am writing to shed a little light on the fallacy of this infamous article, the stultified庐 of such an ill conceived poem. I have been thinking about NIZES JAM MUAM, MUCH LESS CHITICIZES IT. Oh, I see now, with clear unfettered eyes that never
Oh, I see now, with clear unfettered eyes that never should I have left school and the Kansan.

A motion picture entitled "Marry the Girl" is an apt admonition that might be given any youth who has been irreparably bitten by the love bug and yet doesn't want to give up either his college career or his chance at happiness with the lady of his choice.
220 Married Students Here
In the early days of the University, when one promised to "love, honor, and obey," the unwritten words between the lines placed an obligation upon the gentleman to provide a brief note to his host less monotonous task of providing a living for himself and family before marrying.
229 Married Students Here
A dependable, responsible young man wouldn't he himself away to college because he had previously missed that experience, or because he might see a chance to better his financial standing. That is, he wouldn't unleashe was "queer" or had enough money to support his wife at school which she was acustomed at home.
Today that condition is passing.
Women are willing to share the responsibilities and risks of married life, though they may have to take jobs to help their husbands acquire the coveted sheepkins. Proof of it lies in the number of married people in the universities. The University of Kansas is well-established, the largest number in the history of the school, according to a report of the KU. Dames.
K.U. Among Charter Members
The Dames, an organization of the wives of married students and of married women students, was founded at Harvard University in the early part of the century. Its popularity rapidly to other universities and in 1911 a federal association was formed which included KU. Dames among the charter members. Other charter members included the Dames of Harvard, Yale, and Chicago.
K.U. Among Charter Members
The first meeting of the wives of students of the University of Kano with the local founder, Mrs. U. G. Mitchell, wife of Professor Mitchell of the department of mathematics, in the fall of 1910.
Canvassed Rooming Houses
Convaded rooming hoioses Having no way to learn what other women of Lawrence might be eligible for such an organization, Mrs. Mitchell and two friends made in connection with the University rooming house. When the club was formally organized in the spring of 1911, there were about twenty members. Mrs. Roy Rankin was elected the first president.
Mrs. Mitchell tells of one amusing visit she made about fifteen years ago to a young lady eligible for the K.U. Dames, who met her at the door with a baby on her arm. When Mrs. Mitchell explained her mission, the woman gasped, "Oh, are there other married people going to college besides my husband?" She divorced from the interests of her contemporaries because she was married and her husband was a student.
The object of the club is to promote sociability among the wives of students, according to a feature story in the University Daily Kansan for Feb. 20, 1911. "To this purpose it has held, extending with increased membership to groups within the club which meet for bridge, sewing and study. Two general meetings are held each month for transacting business and prose. Also, during these events last year included the husbands also, for dances, parties and picnics.
Meet Bi-Weekly
There has been but one year since its organization that the K.U. Dames did not meet, and that was during the World war.
Prof. Ernest Boyce, director of the division of sanitation of the Kansas State Board of Health, and Miss Cassandra Ritter, bacterologist in the water laboratory, a division of the State Board of Health, will read short papers before a meeting of the American Public Health Association now in progress in New York City.
Boyce and Ritter To Address Health Meet
Professor Boyce, representing all sanitary engineers in the United States, will address a group of state health officers on "What a Health Officer Should Expect of the Engineer in Public Work."
Miss Ritter will read her paper entitled "A Revised Fuchsia Lac- teinase" in the Journal of Test in Water Analysis" before the laboratory section of the meeting

High Bar Requirements
Kansas City, Mo., Oct. 4.—(UP)“Kansas has the highest educational requirements for admittance to the bar of any state in the Union.” Will Shafroth of Chicago, director of the National Bar program, said at the annual convention of the American Bar Association here.
In 1921, Kansas was the only state to demand college education for lawyers. Since then, 34 states have made two years of college essential for bar admittance. Kansas, however, demands a college degree.
"In Arkansas and Georgia, law licenses can be granted a man who never opened a law book," Shafron said. "But Kansas now virtually requires seven years of college for a lawyer to pass the bar examination." He added that the examination after having spent four years in a law office."
The bar program, of which Shafroh is a director, was formed to work out uniform goals, and to promote educational standards for lawyers.

During the week: The pin situation is growing serious in places. Any house harboring the three golden halls has for sale any number of Pi Phi and pigs pins, or at least walking into a "terrish" and finding the hostess flashing the Pi Phi arrow or a Kappa key. Such cases are reported and have been encountered by your columnist on occasions. The humorous side appear that they can be bought in any quantity at any time. Better do like the Theta'n and the Gamma Phi's and buy up your pins, gals, for one never known who will run into it.
