NOTICE TO READERS
This is the Old Grad's issue. They had a free reign in choosing and discussing their topics. We beg, therefore, to be absolved of all blame, and to decline all praise, accruing from the editorial opinions expressed in the columns of this page. We're free for a day!
TODAY'S REAL PROBLEM
—The Editorial Staff.
CHARLEEN L. SWEAT. *The Carper Publications* Has much been written, and much more spoken, about the shortcomings of the Younger Generations. Their dress, their manners, their petting, dancing, drinking and their crimes, have evoked the fire from pens and the lash from tongues.
But the Younger Generations are not the real problems of the world today.
If memory serves correctly, it was Old Men who threw a world into war for liberty and permanent peace; Old Men who ended the war with a treaty for gold and shackles; and Old Men who contracted debts they could never pay.
Whose banks closed their doors? Why, those of the Old Men! Their financial edifices tumbled like houses of cards, in a litter of stocks and bonds? Why, those of the Old Men! Their economic system staggers drunkenly airs' the face of the globe; their systems of government reel and fall.
The grandmothers spoil the babies,
the grandfathers clutter the golf links.
Old Grads take their universities to
make bad speeches, or to write worse
editorials. Verily, Age cries out against
Youth—yet strives to be Youthful.
WHAT THEY DIDN'T TEACH US
CHIEF SHORTE, Acquate Garrett
The Younger Generations? No! The real problem before the world today is: What to do about the Older Generations?
Ten years ago "editorial we" were taking all the snap courses in this university, including everything in the journalism department. Today we can look back at the many things they did not teach us at that time to prepare us for work as editor and installment owner of a Kansas daily newspaper.
Our journalism course didn't;
Our journalism course didn't.
Tell us how to buy a newspaper on a shee string and then show us how to keep the shee string from breaking.
Warn not to borrow money at on bank and keep our deposit at the ohe
Tell us that we would have to take groceries, milk, rubber boots, ladies underwear, police pups, chiropractic treatments and hedge wood in exchange for advertising space.
Cautise us not to put the town's bootlegger's arrest in the paper when his brother-in-law was the best friend of our best advertiser.
Tell us how to meet our payroll for the last week of each month.
Show us how to write an obituary that would make the angels cry.
Tell us that the only time we would hear from a church or lodge would be after we had a slight mistake in their write-up, and only thus after we had heard of those columns of flowery stories which for the most part were free advertisement for them.
Warn us that one out of every five persons would tell us how to run our business when four out of every five of them were living off of charity.
Show us how to write an interesting news story about a W.C.T.U. convention.
Instruct us how to get rid of office pests.
Tell us how to pick carrier boys who were accurate throwers and little gentlemen at all times.
Show us how to operate an Oliver typewriter.
Teach us to appreciate home grown poetry.
Show us how to help farmers write up "public sale" bills.
- Give us a course in printing press repairing.
Give us instruction on picking bathing beauties and blue ribbon babies, refereeing boxing matches, ushering at revivals, toast-mastering at football banquets, speaking at cooking and sewing schools and collecting money for a home for wayward girls.
Tell us that there were 1,798,997 jobless printers and 576,877 unemployed reporters who would hit us up for a steady job. And when it wasn't available we had to stand the cost of a meal or they would paint on us from sheet "circums."
Tell us that we would be writing for the Daily Kansan again when we were told at one time by an instructor in the department that we had better stick to our job press feeding.
WHY THE OLD GRADS COME BACK
Quite frequently statements have been made, deploring the more or less definite fact that the only time the "Old Grids" important football game is schooled
We do not believe this criticism is entirely justified, although the writer admits it is largely true. Who would expect the old timers to come back for things less spectacular? It takes something exciting and unusual to attract attention and the old grads are interested most in the same things that arouse the interest of the students to the highest pitch.
We are just like the students of today and yesterday, and the day before that, when it comes to the thins that entertain and interest most about school life. When we were in school, just like yourselves, we went gloriously upside, temporarily, when the football team won an important victory. And nothing else in the whole school year brought anything like as much excitement.
Speaking as a newspaper man, the football team is the "front page" of the University. Whether or not this is as it should be, is beside the question. As we have seen before, that has been a fact and we expect it continue that way long into the future.
And the football heroes—they are remembered for long years to come, when other high lights of our school careers are almost forgotten. The writer was at one time the leader of a debate team which won a victory for the University after we had spent many weeks in hard work, and now we certainly have a high-light to us individually, but we doubt if another member of our class can even recall the event today.
As a matter of fact, the writer himself has forgotten the names of the other two members of that debate team, and we have only a hazy recollection of the subject we discussed. BUT, we can name offhand every first string player on the football team of that year, starting with Carl Fleasant at one end and finishing with Oscar Dahlke at full back.
So here's the football squad, and to every one of those boys who will be the best remembered students of this year in our high school, I'm putting 'nto school life for both the present gen-
The Band will meet at the Memorial Union building at 7:10 tonight in full uniform including capes; and will also meet Saturday morning at 9 o'clock at the stadium for drill, in full uniform. J. C. McCANLES, Director.

ration and the past. Here's to the players we remember and to the boys who will be battling for old K.U. out in the stadium tomorrow.
And when that whistle blows, although the present generation uses Beach and Mehringer and a score of others out there in the thickest of the scripimage—the writer will vision "Swede" Carlson, "Mother" Rindall, "Tub" Reed, "Pet Crowell, "Bill" Caldwell, Ben Hennessey and "Please" mearing that line, while "Tommy" Johnson, Joy Bond, "Star" Myers and "Boxe" Dahlie will be dashing off tack, running the ends and kicking meals.
A PROBLEM SOLVED
HALLOW TREETS. *Kimberly Mercury*
Friday in a country newspaper office
—that day of all days to receive a letter
asking for copy for the Old Grad's issue
of the Daily Kansan. With the weekly
issue out of the way for one more week,
Friday finds the back office looking as if
a cyclone had just passed by and the
editor's mind a blank. And what can
editor of a country weekly write
about that would interest those live-
wire college students.
But Friday cannot be such a bad day to write a Kaiser editorial after all. Sitting back in his easy chair the editor scans the exchanges. From the first paper he picks up, the headline, "L. N Lewie Leaves Most of his Histoire," his title him square the eye Ha, just the idea for an Old Cray's editorial.
Why not all Old Grads remember their Alma Mater in their wills? To what better use can they put their money?
