Dame Rumor must be wearing shorts, judging from the speed with which she gets around the Kansan office.
If the good woman knows what she is about, on December first at the council meeting to discuss the student book store, some one is going to propose that the store and its profits be put in the hands of the Memorial Union. The Union has a nice debt that it wants to pay, and could withstand a few improvements.
In other words, would you rather give money to a private store or to the Union?
This sort of "answer yes or yes" alternative deserves no support from anyone. The Kansan has been campaigning on the premise that it is silly to give away money at all, if we need it. Last year students added $6,562.50 to the Union's balance. That is no small gift. We are doing our part in paying off the Union debt without adding the profits of a book store to our donations.
The only type of business that will save money is one that returns its profits directly to its customers according to the amount of goods they buy. If the Union will operate a store on this basis, that will be fine. The University of Kansas needs a co-operative book store.
Will Hays, ear of movieland, conferred with Mussolini yesterday. Chalk that one up, Hemnery. It's a red letter day when Benito talks to someone that can teach him things about censorship.
Pan-American Palaver
International peace conferences have earned for themselves great reputations for beginning with high purposes and worthy goals and turning either into dog fights or mutual admiration societies — neither accomplishing anything worthwhile.
The Pan-American conference, which will convene in Buenos Aires, December first has the tone of being one of the "pollyanna" type. For the first time in all the attempts to negotiate with our southern neighbors, everything seems to be peaches down in South America.
A redefinition of the Monroe Doctrine by the present administration has made for a more cooperative aspect between the formerly domineering United States and the 20 Latin American republics. Brotherly pats on the back in the form of reciprocal treaties have made the "gauchos" feel very, very good indeed. And the actual appearance of President Roosevelt himself for the opening of the conference has enhanced the importance of the occasion.
It now remains for the peoples of both America to watch with hope the developments of the Pan-American meeting. Truly it is the only visible means to preserve our European non-intervention policies and to keep the peace on this side of the Atlantic.
But if this conference follows true to the usual sterile form, nothing much of value will materialize out of it.
If agreements between the nations of the western hemisphere can be evolved to place strict embargoes on war supply shipments, and to make hemispherical non-intervention and restricted armament pacts, then perhaps the belligerent troubles of Europe may not invade our country.
However the way has been well paved. It now remains in the hands of those few diplomats who have the power, if they have the ability, to insure peace for the western hemisphere--a. Reopening of Dyche museum.
b. Construction of a medical science building.
And Yet--a. Reopening of Dyche museum.
b. Construction of a medical science building.
We know that President Roosevelt hates war. He has said so, repeatedly and emphatically. We might be led to the conclusion, therefore, that armies and navies have nothing to do with war. Under President Roosevelt's beaming approval, naval construction has reached a new peacetime high. Last Tuesday the first of a series of eleven 10,000-ton cruisers was launched in Philadelphia. Last week General Craig proposed an increase in army appropriations and additions to the army's personnel. Admiral Cook's annual report is a recommendation for immediate construction of three lighter-than-air ships, one larger than Germany's Hindenberg.
All this President Roosevelt regards with beneficent mien. But Mr. Roosevelt hates war, so there may not be any connection between armament programs and war. Germany and Italy are building armaments, and England, the

c. Addition to the stacks of the library.
6. Restoration of faculty salaries.
United States, and most of the civilized world are building armaments. It puts people to work. But one would think the unemployed could be put to work at something better than building instruments of war. No one can eat a 75 shell or an improved type of machine gun. Maybe the armaments race is just a pastime—traditional, sort of.
Some people may doubt the existence of Santa Claus, but the Kansas City Star seems to have some kind of proof that he's around—and apparently in Kansas City.
To the great mysteries of all time must be added this absorbing question: Whatever came to pass in Governor Hoffman's libel suit against Bonke Carter?

In the second place the Union fountain is maintaining a suitable profit off its sales to keep a necessary operating surplus without an unnecessary two tax on cigarettes.

There seems to be someone on your staff who wishes to be known as 'we', and also seems to aspire to great heights. I can imagine you would like to this 'We person' only that he might have more appropriately added another vowel to 'we'.

I realize, as do many other students that Mr. Postlethwaite's criticism on the Fall Concert of the Symphony was meant as a farcical one, but it is a genuine occasion on which to exercise so felicitously his most farcical trend of talent. After all the concert was not amounted to being a special occasion to demonstrate what powers he possesses in the reviewing of fashions, for his particular talent, I can think of no better occasion than one of the Hull's finest.
in their life and in ours are a great number of persons who truly appreciate the new concessions made to us by the leaders. I am sure that if Dean Swarthout and Professor Kuersteiner know of my actions, they would sanction a plan to save all of the students and the responsibility of thinking Mr. Peatdwalehue, not only for myself, being one of the members of that organization, but also for many others who must feel a very great and all but too deep gratitude towards me.

Editor Daily Kansan;
When I set out of school I am going to found a business here on the Hill, and sell cigarettes for life.
What with the federal government taxing them, the state government taxing them, and both governments allowing people to buy cigarettes are allowed to sell the cigarettes, (at a gross profit of a little more than two cents) I believe that I would be happy.
Of course as my business increased, I would buy more newspapers to fasten up for shade over my cigarette stand, to say nothing of hiring another fellow to accompany me in my starvation.
I. understand Peggy Ann shook the hand of Mr Hard after his very interesting speech Thursday evening. Good for you, Peggy! In a country straightly south of New York, she makes real courage to be summon with the opposition.
Yes, this two cent racket (or is it graft?) is a terrible case that should be crushed from the fast pace of campus.
Editor Daily Kansan:
May we hope in the name of education soon to hear in our lecture course of chairman of the Young Republicans and other important speakers as qualified teachers who have served in a war of national affairs on the charming Mr. Hard?

But it is hard for us to look at such a tragedy thus so lightly. To see the good of the land filling the sky where it ought not to be, fills us with fear. It recalls to us once again that then-footlardy prophecy of new-molasse-vice-president Rexford Tugwell that "Kansas is to be the Great American Desert." For the four years our college students went to work before the sun or the moon. And we swear to ourselves as we wipe the particles from our mouth and eyes. For we know that that land should never have been plowed; that it should have been left to the grass that grew there. But it was war and after-war market flushes that sent men into those lands. They hoped for a dollar or two gain. Like a saloon keepering to get the most from a war-drunk world. But it blamed it, even when we trying new materials needed food; who did? But there were dry years, and 30-cent wheat.
Now it rains on the plow-clief prairies and runs off so rapidly it floods the valleys. And when the wind rises, the scourge of dust fills the valleys and drought crumbles. Cattle frost And political non argue on "Americanism."
What if the football boys have had a hectic season? Doodle looked like the loser too; but after the "stuff" went to work last night you could have passed Dominaker off as the Flying Dutchman.

Frudite editorialist Arthur Brisbane, the epitomist of伏美顿 nad pilatitude, observed the other day that the late Madame Schumann-Heinck had "a magnificent career and also many children, of whom two died in the great war, while a third served aboard a submarine."
Fine, little work this bearing of children, we should like to say. Especially so of the one good Madame's children fought on the German side, while the others fought for the Allies. For nothing, apparently beyond some foolish psychotic fears some propaganda-inspired ideals.
risk is fear concerning the establishment of a student bookstore, possibly a co-operative one. Which means in so many words that students must become share-holders, and therefore dollars for shares (which they may sell if they so wish when leaving school). Upon these shares will be paid a small dividend at a fixed rate. All who purchase books will be refunded at the end of a semester a certain amount of their purchases.
That speaker in the speech contest who asked for a campus psychiatrist was essentially a humanitarian of the highest order. He said that if such preventive one suicide, one broken life, any sum spent would receive recognition and that Fine Arts student who came up to our reporter who, a bit cynically, wrote up his true impressions of the recent symphony concert in a review in this paper, and yelled in his face, "Ye, ya, you..." The review might have been a bit provoking, that it might have kindled much wrath, especially in the traditionally but not necessarily temperamental Fine Arts student. But shouldn't a college education be something to broaden people, then more tolerant, rather than to make their descent automats?

Life Among the Icebergs;
Or Will You Have Some Lemon?
By STEVEN DAVID, Esq., c.57
Kavan North Pole Correspondent
Ed note: If the Star believes in Santa Claus, why can't we?
"Why do they call you St. Nicholas?" was my first question. Claus cleared his throat. Good scotch, what? Oh, that. did. I've always maintained that I had called a bit of old Vick in me."
This seemed to be straining the point, but we had another dipper of scotch and I went on.
"Are you married?"
Santa looked at me almost aphast,
"Me married?" he asked. "Dont you see all those etchings on the walls? Would a married man be able to do that, or a bit then, sipping his scotch, "No, I not married," he admitted, "but there is a little blonde Eskimo gal named Oggwimp for whom I have the deepest admiration . . . Harach - = in a fathery way of comfey."
We were both feeling splendid by ow, and as I added just a drop of oda to our glasses, I continued, "is your favorite Gnomoe?" queried.
"Wy, offhann. I'd say my favorite was U-Gnoome-AL. He used to be a politician in the next county—Drukatanko. Most diligent fellow, most diligent. He is in charge of the Anti-ciamax department."
Claus hicuped and downed another scutch. "Eh? Oh, yes, pardon me. I meant to say he heads thru on Peppermint Sticks department."
"The Anti-climax department?" I echoed. "I thought that was in the 'New Yorker.'"
I was still doubtful. "That sounds like Stoopnagle and Budd to me. Well, nevertheless, what did you think of the election?"
This time it was I who did the hiccupping. Santa looked at me re-appeachfully. "The election? I don't know. Who won?"
I told Mr. Claus at this point that he was looking pretty bleary-eyed and that maybe we shouldn't have any more of that apparently potent scotch, but he told me that I was the one who was bleary-eyed, and that we must have some memory of what we were doing. When I in

Bob Russell, e'37: "If 'it's 0-5,

again." At this point he took our
picture, so we took his.
Evelyn Brubaker, c'38: "They'll probably tell of our defeat." When we think of school spirit, a tear comes to our eyes.
Walker Josselyn, c'37; "I don't know what they're gonna say, but I know what they'd better say."
Robert Pyle, c38: "It all depends on who wins." Now, here, people is the answer which shows deep, searching thought.
Clifford Banks, 'cunel: "I think they'll say that I am sick may not have won, but they put up a good fight."' he entitled is entitled to his own opinion.
Al Lemoine, c:39: "That remains to be seen." That Pyle guy put him up to this.

Paintings Aid Trend to Art Appreciation
By Edwin Browne, c'unel
At least Spooner-Thayer museum of art is alive, if Dyche is not. Since the beginning of the school year, the art museum has featured successively every two weeks in its south wing upstairs, different and distinct displays of modern types of art.
Currently, the south wing displays 28 new paintings and two sculptured pieces for students, faceted windows and a sculpted form of Karsas. At least six of these paintings and one of the pieces of sculpture found a responsive chord in our artistic makeup. And in addition to this, our culture has advanced several totals.
To answer the question of whether or not your home will be the most modern and the most pleasant in which life would mean to read all contemporary literature on improvements for the home in the century, including the术院 descent, the mechanical contrivances, the psychology of married life, and countless other tomes, and conclude whether or not your possible advantages compared to all these ideas of progress. But without all this activity, in one respect at least, you can advance your culture simply by visiting the new exhibits featured by the Spooner-Thayer museum every two weeks. In showing the 30 works by living Denver artists in its present feature presentation, now the nation-wide trend toward improving the cultural aspects of future homebuilders with an appreciation of modern art in paintings, sculpturing, lithograph etchings, and the like.
Landscapes are Features
Of the current offering, 23 paintings are done in oils and five in water colors. The other two pieces are figures in bronze. All of these are works of living Colorado ar-
