Editorial Comment
Let's Eat
You know I been reading the newspaper and magazine what Ma takes and I been ruminati' as to what's the matter with the farmer today. Modern science and advertising has ruined us. Yes sir, these people with a great big notion that they're helping the world have messed things up.
How you say? Just look at any advertisement of any food—it's good for you—eat so and so for health—a hot cereal every morning makes you big and strong. Then some dietitian comes along and advises women not to eat much bread or potatoes and things. They've come to make eating a duty, not a pleasure. Who wants something to eat just because its good for them?
We drank milk, we liked it and it wasn't camouflaged in half a dozen forms. Why you city folks are talkin' your kids out of liking it just because you think he should glimpse it at every turn.
Now take spinach. Most kids now detest the stuff yet down here on the farm, spinach with a few dandelion greens, a dash of horseradish, garnished with sliced boiled eggs and served with sweet pickle vinegar, its a delicacy, yes sir a delicacy. These "hot cereal breakfast" clubs give me a pain. We nearly always had to get up and milk before breakfast, and we ate a hot cereal caret it tasted darn good and took the chill off the morning and not because some big hero said we'd grow up to be just like him if we ate wheaties or cream of wheat or what have you.
When the people of the world get over the idea that they're eatin' just because they should and not because they want to, the farmer's problem will be a lot less pressing. When kids ask for milk because they like it and not because their Ma says it's good for them, it'll do them a lot more good and a lot more will be consumed. Come on folks, let's eat!

Some Consolation?
Graduation is just around the corner for some thousands of students on this and other campuses. Some will fall into ready made jobs, some will find worthwhile work after much seeking. Some graduates will be forced to take jobs which could easily be filled by untrained persons, and some will perhaps find no work at all.
Despite the lacr* of jobs at the moment, every student going out with a sheepskin under his arm, has accumulated, in the earning of that diploma, a certain broadened viewpoint, a culture, which can never be taken from him. This will be an asset to him though monetary rewards for the four years of school may be slow in coming.

A Worthwhile Thought
Modern Youth Has Idealism. It craves the chance to build a better world. To sit and read the daily papers may be very depressing because of the crime and selfish class interests revealed, but to sit in class room with serious minded-students and discuss the problems of the world from a religious viewpoint is exhilarating. These young people are daring to think great thoughts for the future of humanity guided by the teachings of Jesus. The more we know them in the classes of the Kansas School of Religion the more faith we have in humanity and its future. If our church people could see these scores of future doctors and lawyers and teachers and scientists being inspired to great heights of conviction about a better world order they would immediately see this as one of the greatest missionary causes in the world. We think our young preachers being visionary and dreamers and forget that the young men and women are made of the same character and will express it in equal power in other fields of interest if only challenged with the teachings of Jesus. These young people are restless and are searching for new paths of truth. They want a candid discussion of politics, industry, religion, and ethics. They quickly detect evasion and cowardice. They want an answer to the hope that arises within them saying, "we can have a better world." They are asking the Church, "Have you an answer to these questions?" Your Dean believes and teaches with all the vigor of his personality that in Jesus we have the way out. But Jesus must be made to walk among men meeting them in their daily tasks before he can lea' them.—From the Bulletin on Religion at the University of Kansas.
Campus-Sister Plan
The Campus-Sister induction and pledge service took place at a breakfast at 7:30 last Sunday morning.
We have always had this idea of some girl on the campus acting as a big sister to a girl who was just entering school. However, usually there was nothing more to the idea than perhaps a letter written to the "little sister" before entering school.
This new plan to be inaugurated should work better than formerly as there are ten active captains at the head of the organization. Each one of these captains has ten girls working under her. These girls will have a "little sister" next fall, and they are supposed to keep in touch with her throughout the year.
This seems to be quite a complete plan, and one which should be helpful to any new girl, par-
ticipant.
Surely this will promote activities and get more students interested at the beginning of their college careers and advance a more democratic feeling among the women of the University.
It seems to be a good thing to give at least a fair trial, and here is hoping it is successful in establishing many friendships as well as promoting activities on the campus.
A conservative Democrat never argues that a third party can不哭. He thinks it has, already.

The Honorary Racket
Declaring that "honorary societies are in many cases only mutual admiration groups," Dean J. A. Park of Ohio State University told the National Association of Deans recently that some college honorary societies are "rackets." "Students pay 20 percent of their fees to about 300 honorary societies," he said.
Dean Park may be a bit vicious in calling them "ruckets"—the college honorary societies are probably more like minor graffits. But they are undoubtedly graffiti in many instances.
A glance at Baird's Manual indicates that every college student should be able to make at least one honorary in something. It may be military proficiency, or service, or activity in any of a dozen extra-curricular fields. Few of them have rigid requirements;
Fundamentally, it's just good business. The national officers adopt a quib-ablok attitude until the prospective member feels that a bid is an invitation to enter the game, like trout at leray at every initiation payment.
They all started because somebody had business initiative. And they continue because human vanity has little sales resistance. Everyone likes honor, and the feeling of quiet dignity that goes with a key. - Michigan State News.

Campus Opinion
The girl who is serious and in earnest about Leap Year traditions should carefully observe macine opinion concerning fashions and qualities. It might, by chance, determine the answer, "yes or no," to a proposal.
Articles in this column do not necessarily refute the opinion of the editor, and are subject to change by the editor. Contributions are subject to review.
The college men ranked in importance these qualities in a girl. 1. vitality; 2. sex appeal; 3. neatness; 4. distinction; 5. style; 6. beauty; 7. sweetness. Seventh place must be a shock to the sweet, quiet girl of grandmother's daff.
The big majority admitted they like perfume but emphasized, "not too much." The results were 100 per cent "no" regarding evident makeup-up. The men apparently bought a lot of nail polish and suggest throwing all red flagnail polish in the ocean.
The manineline opinion was unanimous in favor of *spat clothes*, *sweatsets* and *skirts*, tweeds, with a "dark" hat.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Questionnaires on feminine fashions and qualities were answered by college men from Princeton to Leiden Standford. According to an article, "Men Prefer—" in a recent study, 57% of the women and 61% of the wholly majoring prefer the smart girl to the prenuity girl.
Now, the college girl knows what the men prefer in the girl of 1926. R.B.

Knowledge of Atoms Has Increased A Great Deal in Last Decade, Says Dr. Cady
ten years ago Dr. H. P. Cady, professor of chemistry at the University of Kansas, broadcast from the University station, KFKU, a demonstration of the action of radioactive substances the attracted national attention. We began to use radioactive materials in jar and, some other apparatus, he caused the atoms given off by radioactive substance to disturb an electric field, setting up an infinitesimal electric current. This current was multiplied twelfths of times, and caused to activate an old-fashioned loud speaker as it entered the electric field.
Dr. Cady took time recently to comment on the increase in knowledge about atoms in just this brief decade, and in the field of chemistry, leaving to the physicist discussion of discoveries in that field.
Wonderful as was the demonstration 10 years ago, and marvelous as was the knowledge of chemistry, yet the knowledge of chemistry by knowledge of the past 10 years.
Elements Give Off Rays
Ten years ago the conception of the atom as being the ultimate subdivision of an element, had yielded to the idea of an atom that had a positively charged nucleus surrounded by enough negative electrons to make the whole atom electronically neutral, and there had been no other atoms. The properties of giving off radiations known as alpha, beta, or gamma rays.
To the atoms and electrons and protons of 1926 have added neutrons and positrons, each with its part in the chemical action of elements.
Curie's Make Research
Just within the past few years, even more wonderful discoveries have been made. M. and Mme. Joliot Curie in 1834 discovered that when boron, aluminum, or magnesium were bombarded with alpha particles, new and unstable atoms were produced which would continue to give rise to the

Charles Lyon (eternally diplomatic leaning out of the Union lounge window, surrounded by his stones) “A good thing—a good thing.”
Rachel Shelar (with a mean eye in the library)：“We'd have to get in sometime; it might as well be 10:30.”
Bill Asher (the coke-throwing was doing a dance spring on the administration building step) "They don't know me," he said. "I just one house, I transfer my affection."

characteristic phenomena of radio activity after the source of the beam barding alpha particles was removed. Experiments of the Jolliets and others have already demonstrated that half the ordinary elements can be made temporarily radioactive, and when the radioactive property has disappeared it is sometimes an element different from that which the experiment started.
Mary Kay Lattner (being ornamental on the library step)—"I guess it's time for people to get in anyway."
Lucille Sharp (stirring ambitiously toward home) "Oh, I guess we need them in sorority houses. The girls don't study until after they get in-"
Ken Postlethwaite (yee former conductor, smiling condescendingly)—Why let 'em out anyway? What good advice can he say?“(I guess he meant the ladies.)
Professor X (another one of those print-conscious people)—"You lady, the immorality rate would be much lower," she said. "It wasn't for the 10:30 closing hour."
Already practical application is being made of this ability to impart temporary radioactive properties to elements, in providing for treatment, such as for cancer. Pure radium, which has been found also to be dangerous, since it may enter the bones, and bring a painful death to the patient. Some of the synthetic radioactive substances have a half-time value of 15 minutes; that is, in 15 minutes, they have half their radioactive properties; in half their radioactive properties, the remainder, and so on. Theoretically there would always be a half reminder left, but practically, such a substance has lost its radioactive properties within an hour or so. And the residue can be a barrier harming to the patient, who thus has had the radiation treatment, without ill after-effects.

The field is far from exhausted, Professor Cady says.

Division money was bet on the game. Pork Chick, Ad Lidney and I had bet $350, thinking, "If we go to Paris, let's go with some dough."
Fish, feeling his team to be a circletch, win, had already made arrangements to billet his team in Paris. We had watched his team beat the Second Division the second time of its history. Gome time came. We battled back and forth on even ten times most of the first half. Shortly before the half ended Lindsay, our punter, turned loose a long kick, which sat for over their safety. The man was down on the Fourth Row, but he was not mediated nearly went into a punt formation. Our coach, Paul Widingham, playing right guard, broke through center, blocked the kick, and I, playing right half, rushed in and fell on the hall for a 21-foot goal. There I lay possibly holding $100,000 for the division and a trip to Paris. Lindsey kicked the extra point and we were in front 7-0. The last half we scored seven more points, winning 14-0.
Later we went on to Paris and won the AEF, championship."
T. C. Wood. Friend. Noh.
Couch Lindsey explained that there was nearly $200,000 bet on the game. The Fourth Division had sent a challenge to the 89th, saying they would win. But the team lost Col. Whitecote made a personal tour of the 89th Division collecting money to meet the challenge. The 89th, feeling the division's honor was at stake, contributed 1,000,000 francs that was hauled over to the Fourth Division headquarters.
"That," said Coach Lindsey, "was probably the most-bet-on football game ever played."
