Laurels for the 90-Odd
Not so long ago we heard about that "wonderful 100-and-some-odd piece band" at the University of Illinois and how as many patrons flocked to the football field to see and hear it as did to see that back-field phantom, Red Grance.
Unquestionably, the 100-and-some-odd did much to enhance the reputation and increase the glory of the University of Illinois. And, unquestionably, Russell L. Wiley's 90-and-some-odd are doing the same for the University of Kansas.
Starting almost from scratch two years ago, Russell Wiley has built a distinctive band. Its membership has increased almost a 100 per cent. Its excellence is insured by a secondary band whose members will replace the regulars as vacancies occur.
The day before Thanksgiving the band will play for Kansas City high schools and at the Mainstreet theater. An itinerary of Kansas cities is being planned for a fall concert tour. The band will be present at Columbia and Manhattan for those out-of-town games, and, of course, will play for all of the home games. Its first home concert will be in the first week of December.
Support the band. It most certainly is deserving.
Floyd Starr, for 20 years a worker with boys, says there are no bad boys, adding "when I dig down to the real boy, I find something clean and sweet and good." Most mothers have had the same experience digging down to find their good little boys. -Topeka Daily Capital.
It's all right to have a train of thoughts, if you have a terminal—Richard R. Bowker.
The best advice we can offer the freshmen who bemoan the morning climb up the mount is, "Send for your sleds now, children. The best is yet to come."
A Suggestion
Of all the students in this University, only a few more than one-fourth live in social or professional fraternities and sororities; only 159 in Watkin and Corbin halles. More than 3,100 in rooming houses, some of which are ramshackle, some very far from the campus, some quite expensive.
The rooming-house-mothers do their best by the 3100 barbs, but there is little question that, for the sake of unity, comfort, convenience, and the other fruits of collective enterprise, dormitories would be a great improvement. The question is, of course, one of finance.
Through the beneficence of Mrs. Watkins we have Watkins hall and another woman's dermatory which will be erected soon. Mrs. Watkins has contributed much to the solution of the rooming house problem and cannot reasonably be expected to contribute more.
Some years ago Corbin Hall had laid away a fund of $4,000 over and above operating expenses. The state, entirely within its perigative, confiscated that $4,000 to help itself out of some budgetary difficulties. Now it is understood, the Corbin Hall surplus fund again has attained a substantial height.
Why not, by legislative provision, convert that surplus into a contribution toward a new dorm? The supplementary appropriation necessary after a few years more accumulation at the present rate would be small and perhaps might be furnished by the state. The surplus funds from the two dorms (now) could be used in the same way.
We are glad the 1934 drown hasn't been as bad as that of 1934. Now we'll have to revise our mathematics, because apparently nothing from nothing leaves something—Arkansas City Daily Traveler.
An expert is a man who avoids the small errors as he sweeps on to the grand fallacy.—Benjamin Stolberg.
Suppression of Gossip?
A New York clergyman has proposed the organization of a society for the suppression of gossip, according to the Pittsburg Sun. The clergyman stated, "that after 20 centuries of civilization and Christianity, even our good people, when they get together so often find nothing better to do than to backlash and gossip."
The organization is all well and good. But what about the "bull sessions" in colleges. As most sessions go, the opening subject is educational; but as the discussion progresses, sooner or later, the subject becomes gossip and sex. And so far into the night.
For many years the Kansan campaigned for "some good, solid, serviceable steps" to replace the rickety wooden ones embarrassing the library. Now that the Kansan's efforts are rewarded with just that, it wonders whether 'twas all worth the effort.
The statement, "bull-sessions (gossip-sessions)
make up a large part of a student's higher education; " has neither been proved or disproved.
It is strange but true, there seems to be nothing that anyone can do about the situation. Gossip then must fall into the category called, human nature.
Mussolini plans to tour the "toe" of the boot-shaped peninsula, and anti-Fascists hope he gets a kick out of it. "Topeka Daily Capital."
Students these days can't stuff their arms in broken dikes in order to be heroes like Hans Brinker. In fact, University students can't get even a finger inside of our Dyche museum.

Editor Daily Kansan:
It seems to me, and doubtless to many of you others, that the students, in going through the necessary procedures, have been subjected to one of the most degrading pieces of salesmanagement practice. The business school has high handed practices of allowing daycare saleemans to work a great inconvenience on everyone who stands in front of them. We have to at their desk all day long and draw a nice fat salary; we have no more consideration for the financial but it does burn me up to see such a policy permitted to thrive on the

Why cannot the Jayhawk be handled in the same legitimate manner that any other Campus publication is sold to the students? The K-book, the Kansan, and the K-Man are not permitted. You should this picture be given such a special privilege, and its representatives allowed to insult all who do not care for it? From whom and whence does its tight favors come, and where do they lead? It think it is necessary to make some action to put a stop to the whole rolloff affair.

Editor Daily Kansas:
Most of the students of the University walk by the Memorial Union building every school day. And at least a part of this group notifies the American flag waving on a pole in front of this building. For the summer months when no rain fell it was all right to leave the flag out all year round. The building, and also furthermore it has remained on the pole overnight.
The official Union flag-raiser must know better than to leave the American flag flying in the breeze after the sun sets. The flag's right side, the flag's left side, the flag's keeper to raise and lower the flag all the time, and the flag's right side of the flag, the flag's keeper to raise and lower the flag all the time, are the belief of many observing persons that more care is given to the flag than to the person who cares for it.
Keep the flag waving, but only in fair weather and not after sundown. An Interested Student.

During the past few years the Sour Owl, humor magazine of the University, has been viewed by many with a great amount of disgust. Naturally a large number of students have purchased this magazine because they are presented by a publication. This year there is a new regime in the Sour Owl management. A new progressive staff has outlined a program that will greatly supervee any Sour Owl publication that has ever appeared on the Campus To Editor Hamlin and Business Managers it appears that port being certain that they will give us a humor magazine of which we can well be proud.

The new Council meeting room on the third floor of the Union building is probably one of the nicest gifts that a Senior class has ever left the University. The furniture is of solid walnut with leather upholstering. The table on which the Campus soils will rest their elbows, seats 25 and seats 40, will be open again the night of the Chancellor's reception Take time from your dancing to visit one of the most attractive and impressive rooms on the Campus.
We are amused at the remarks of Jack Lovelock, 1600-meter champion, concerning the "mile race of the century" to be held in Princeton, N. J., Oct. 3. Without a doubt Mr. Lovelock is one of the greatest of the present day mile runners. It seems though that he feels that the Americans will try to "box" him and will arrange for him to win. Is that the type of sportmanship that Mr. Lovelock has previously come in contact with when he has had the opportunity to run against the great American milers.

Question: Do you think high school is easier than college?
Betty Lou Meechan, fa38: "You're taking regular courses in high school and the texts are much easier." Oscar Mol, c37: "Of course. You don't have to think in high school—the teachers do it for you."
Wayne Parcel, e 37: "I think it's much easier—especially when you're taking an engineering course."
Elma Peters, c37: "You take high school more seriously, and therefore it seems harder, but all in all, I believe work so far as the amount of work goes."
Dale Heckendon, c38: "High school is quite a bit easier than college. There are not so many outside assignments to get."
Steven David (Eag) c 375: "This is a fine business. Only one individual agrees with us, but then, we didn't attend a Kansas high school..."
Carolyn Bailey, fa37: "You have more fun in high school. It is decidedly easier than college."
Arnold Gilbert, 837: "College is easier than high school—You have more time for studying."

Regular Exhibits Fascinating
In addition to these special exhibitions are the regular displays which never fail to fascinate. They occur at period or exhibition of the exposition or the collection of others and everyone can find something to his taste.
We owe this splendid collection to the generosity and interest of three people, William B. Spooner, and Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Thayer.

Nagging Blamed As Cause of Illness In London
LONDON, Sept. 11 — (U.P.)—A higher sickness rate is likely to prevail in offices where the atmosphere is freted by bangging than in those where a harmonious atmosphere exists, the Medical Research Council has concluded at least.
"A general attitude of grousing among workers is a good medium for the cultivation of disease germs," the council states. "When employees feel they receive justice and consideration there is mental environment that will prevent easy yielding to every chance of sickness."
One case quoted is that of a company employing a number of stenographers doing the same work. It was found that many of them were most of the girls in one office were away sick, while in another there were few absent. The head of the first office was declared to be a pretty nigger, and that he worked as a person with a sunny disposition.

stant reading. His favorite niece became the wife of Francis Huntington Snow, Chancellor of Kansas University, and Mr. Spooner left a legacy of $81-$61.03 to the University of Illinois at Chicago, and Mr. Spooner, which used as a library until 1924.
SCHULZ the TAILOR
His wife, Sallie Casey Thayer, collected the many works of art as a memorial to her husband. She studied art at the University of Pennsylvania, Europe, writing England, Holland, France, Belgium, Germany, Italy, Greece, Algeria, Egypt, Guatemala, and many other places to find beautiful landscapes. The collection was presented to Kenan University and in 1958 it was placed in the Spooner building and formally dedicated. It has since been augmented from many friends of the University.

the figures on the number of books checked out so far from the education room. On Thursday, the first day of classes, 96 books were signed for; On Friday, 245, and up to 2.45 pm; Saturday, 79 had been taken out.
Indications are that most of the students are finding it hard to get back into the harness again. After remaining for an hour, renewing acquaintance with long technical phrases, several were observed to claw at the harness. "My mind's a blank; I can't remember a thing I've seen," or words to that effect.
