A TRAFFIC DISGRACE
Last Thursday and Friday saw unprecedent traffic congestion on Mount Oread. The population of the Hill suddenly doubled, both in persons and in the number of cars on the campus, as a result of the K.S.T.A. convention.
It was practically impossible to find a parking space on the campus during the day or early evening. Not only were the regular spaces filled, but the drivers were congested by cars parked on both sides, from one end to the other.
Before the convention started Chancellor E. H. Lindley foresaw the possibility of a difficult traffic problem, and requested that student drivers refrain from parking on the campus as much as possible during the teachers' meeting. Apparently this request was ignored by the student owners of cars. Not only were the usual number of cars bearing K.U. tags parked on the Hill, but there were also many others whose owners took advantage of the opportunity to park without a license.
This sort of co-operation is not conducive to the success of my enterprise. If Lawrence is to be a good convention town, the support of every resident, permanent or temporary, must be enlisted.
THE NEW BIBLE
At last the Bible has been modernized. J. M. Smith and Edgar Goodspad have rendered the word of God, in their new version of the Bible, into "good newspaper English." The Bible has long been written in smaller readers, but Goodspad and Smith are going to make it even better.
The new translation destroys all the beauty of the Lord's prayer. The Kansas City Star remarked that it sounded like a bright high school student's translation of Caesar's Commentaries. Each part of the Bible has in turn been changed. The compendium of "Thou shalt not kill" has been changed to "You must not commit murder." "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth," is changed to "Blessed are the humble-minded for they will possess the land."
The new "American Translation" is bound in black cloth and has a cross imprinted on the cover. To put the book right in with the rest of the best sellers, a bright yellow paper cover is added.
The book will be out November 10, and everyone will surely buy a copy so he can be saved in the modern way. Of course it is impossible to imagine that anyone would want to cling to the old version which is so out of date. The price is only $2.50; no one can risk the chance of going through eternity without a modern knowledge of how to get to the right place.
It took hundreds of years to write the Bible; one can truly appreciate the brilliance of these two authors who have completely rewritten the book in a few weeks. Yes, America will always step forth and produce a genius whenever one is needed.
WHAT—NO HOLIDAY?
The calendar tells us that next Wednesday is Armistice Day. But University authorities tell us that classes will meet just the same. We have no choice.
November 11 marks the anniversary of the end of the greatest war in the history of the world. It is a day which is observed the nation over by proclamation of the President of the United States, but not by the University of Kansas.
Probably no other day, including the glorious Fourth of July itself, bears a world-wide political significance which approaches that of Armistice Day, yet this, one of the country's major universities, fails to recognize it.
The whole world, the nation,
the state, the city of Lawrence
(including its public schools),
is going to observe Armistice Day
again this year. But our University
retires into aloof seclusion,
apparently ignorant of the fact
November 11 really should be observed
as a legal holiday.
So parson us while we exclaim, "What—no holiday?" We college students are selfish when it comes to the idea of anything which will give us a day of reprise from the cresus of academic labor.
SCANDAL SEEKERS
Since the death of Warren G. Harding two books have been written which have defamed the character of our one time president. Regardless of the truth or falsity of the charges it is an insult against our government to have such books circulated. Any public officer is open to criticism, but decent minds can surely not uphold such gross deformation of the dead. Only a desire for money and notoriety could have caused such books to be written.
"The Strange Death of President Harding," which was the work of an ex-convict, has been repudiated by the woman who did the actual writing. Too late to do any good, for the public's gallbladder, scandal seeking minds have already happed it up.
"The President's Daughter," was another book recently brought to the lime light by the suit of Nan Britton. She sought to collect money for the damaging of her character in the book written by the Marion. Ohio hotel operator in answer to her own book, Judge John M. Killis instructed the jurors if they found the accusations in the defense of Harding true, her charges for damages should be dismissed. The jury found she had no action for libel, and the case was dismissed. Miss Britton claimed her book had been written for a high-minded purpose, but the defense described its contents as salacious, lascivious, and poisonous. Freedom of the press is a good thing, but defamation of the dead, with only a desire for money cannot even be called poor sportsmanship, it's just too rotten.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansas:
Although I haven't followed the columns of the Kansan very closely, I weve read enough to grow fairly well informed concerning all the fuss over he team football and school spirit. It seems to me that the whole thing has been driven by the raowl that of the conduct of supposedly thinking university students.
--at 6 p.m. Meredith Olinger of the School of Medicine, who spent 18 months with the Rockefeller foundation in Nigeria, was the speaker of the evening.
First the Kauanu childishly vented its rage because of the poor showing it to the football team, then the K-characer beamed at him. The attempted to retaliate by bringing personal vengeance upon the luckless Kauanu. He then counter charges flow thick and fast, until finally the rumpus assumed the stage of restless simmering, with notherrie to back him up.

At the Recital
We should know by row that the airing of potty grievances can never ascertain the desired ends. Far better to have taken the showing of the team for granted and make the best of it; we have had worse teams, you know; I am not a pacifist by inclination, but I do hate to see a rough and tumble team, especially in Queens' ratery rules, take the place of rational inclusion of a subject.

She was for several years organist or the local First Methodist church and was also an artist at the School of Fine Arts. Her job was therefore in the nature of a home-owner, containing many old friends who welcomed her cordially at the close of the day.
The first of a series of veer recolts by visiting organisms was given Sam Hastings' lecture at the university by Mrs. Pearl Ellen McIlleny, organsite and chordmaster of the Second Genus of the Organsite Mo, and a graduate of the School of Fine Arts both in piano and organ in the year 1969.

She is the national recognition of a recital at the National Association of Organists in New York and she acquitted herself with distinction.
NOW! THRU WEDNESDAY—
THE BIGGEST AND BEST FOR LESS! WHY PAY MORE?
Miss Elliott quickly placed herself in touch with her audience and showed the members that appeal to the general public and in communicating their atmosphere to her listeners. Her playing was of a dignified and churchly type, the familiar "D minor Tocatella and the famous "Rustic March of Boeox" overpowering volume of tone. She began with a worthy classical rendition of the familiar "D mine
She was assisted by Ms. Joseph Moyes, baritone from her church choral ensemble, and his crucifixion so distinct that he could easily be heard in every part of the auditorium. In honor of Mr. Moyes's arrival, Ms. Elliot knew that I Am God" with Mrs. Ellot's organ accompaniment. "He has the possibilities of an aba artist."

Develop Wingless Chicken
Peculiar Fowl Form Basis of Experimental Research
The significant and peculiar thing about this wingless bird is that its flight feathers off close to the skull, build, thereby making flight impossible.
The bird was obtained from A. A.
M. arlatten, Kan.,—UP) A so-called wingless chienkeen, which really is not wingless at all, but flightless, forms the basis of experiments by Dr. D. C. Warren, genetician of the poultry husbandry department of the Kansas State college here.
Robertson, Kauan City, Kan. This popularity is probably due to the 20 years of reports say, if this is true Doctor Warren says the evidence in very strong that the character is well liked.
Doctor Warren is crossing this bird with birds of another breed, hoping to make use of it in this way to develop better breeding grounds for burrow quoll caused by birds flying fences and damaging gardens. The peculiar bird is not of a standard breed.
