NOW YOU FILL IT
There comes a time in the life of every editor when he finds it necessary to produce copy to fill the sheet fifteen minutes before press time.
Country editors often solve this problem by digging up some coral that has been written by a syndicator, so put on a metal plate all ready to print.
Seems editors, I'll not use this kind of copy. They say that it gives the paper an appearance of being cheap. They feel that they must fill their columns with critical matter, and so what such a problem presents itself they find themselves a typewriter and start putting down words.
Use them their first thoughts of such a time are more worth much. They write a long introduction to some subject which is of little importance and after that they begin to have some pretty fair idea about what they want to write about, but by that time they have enough material to fill the empty column and they stop.
However, there are exceptions to this rule. This should fill the required space and still there isn't a good idea in it.
After all, K. U. does get a break once in a while. Think of all the worry and trouble the dean of men and the board of regents were saved when that snake story originated in Winchester instead of Lawrence.
The college man, above all else strives to be individual.
WHAT PRICE INDIVIDUALITY?
In everything he does, everything he wears, there is a note of "this is me a college man. I am one above many. Can't you tell it by looking at me?"
Whether or not this individuality is flattering is beside the point. What is relevant is the fact that by such a display of obvious cognition the University student is calling down more and more the criticisms of the "outsiders" upon his head. The college man favors raucous coats. Immediately songs ridiculing raucous coats appear, people start everalking talk about "those white collage kids."
The college man is watched by the entire nation, and right so, for from the institutions of higher learning come tomorrow's statement, scholars, and scientists. He uses his slightest move is subject to thousands of criticisms. Of course it's his business if he chooses to be individual and wear corduroy trousers or coaklinen coats; but it does not remain his business. His home town is watching him, other students' home towns are watching just as closely. He is under the discrese of public objection.
So the next time you hear someone say, "Oh, those college kids. They're always thinking up some darn-fool idea. They're just a bunch of hare-brained children," go right ahead with your individuality. People will forget about it. Go read.
A feather in a man's derby may mean a Eugenie hat for his wife.
THE BIG SHOW
It won't be long now! Tomorrow afternoon the classic of all American sport classes, the world series, will begin when the St. Louis Cardinals and the Philadelphia Athletics clash in the opening game at St. Louis. Comie Mack, grand old man of baseball, will be backing his Athletics to win their third successive world's championship while the Cardinals furnish the competition for the second time in as many years.
Even football, which is fast becoming the center of attraction with the sporting public will be forbidden for the moment while the entire nation, from lowly office boy to highest corporation executive, waits with excitement and anxiety any news from the battlefield. Empires may rise and fall, the stock market may wane or wane, but the interest in each event will be as nothing compared to that centered on the supreme spectacle of America's national sport.
England can have her righy, the Argentine her polite, and Japan her jujuit, but there's nothing like a good old world series to make Uncle Sam's children sit play up and take notice. Normally, we're a pretty serious and conservative people, despite reports to the contrary. But when the "empire yells" play "play ball" Thursday, the hundred and twenty-two million people, more or less, will drop their work and tune in on the conflict unless they are fortunate enough to be occupying grandstand seats. Some folks call it monkey business, but we wish we were going to be on the front row with a sack of peanuts in our hand!
A traffic expert predicts that the automobile death toll for 1921 will exceed that for 1900. He will likely see his own prediction come true—providing an automobile doesn't hit him between now and Dec. 31.
A UNIVERSITY DENTIST
We have on the campus a very busy and efficient staff of doctors and assistants who offer us expert medical treatment when we become ill, but there is one important department lacking in the University hospital which we should have. That is a dentistry department.
The Koran submits the idea that there should be a university dentist with perhaps an assistant to treat and correct teeth and mouth troubles. During the course of the school year many students suffer from troubles with their teeth. They are forced to visit Lawrence dentists and pay bills, which although reasonable, are even beyond the precarious limits of some.
In offering a remedy for the situation, the Kanan submits the plan that the student health fee be increased to four dollars for each semester and that from the increased student health fund he set up and maintained in conjunction with the university hospital, a dentist whose duties would be to examine and treat the teeth of University students.
Of course we do not believe that such a small increase in health fees would cover the entire cost. The initial cost of equipment would be heavy. Probably some agreement could be reached whereby the student would receive the actual work free of charge, but would pay a small amount for the metal used in fillings and X-ray work.
Ley, the Chancellor's tree-sitting parrot, got more public yesterday from the Associated Press and the Kanan than all the four thousand students ever get for being up a tree all year long.
Instructors seem to think that all the students in their classes are "old buddies." Early does it occur to the professor that the great majority of students do not know more than three or four students in the class room, and these they may know only by sight. Another falling of the teachers, (and one for which we can't very well blame them) is their utter lack of the ability to understand that absences are necessary, not only in theory, but in practice.
LEGITIMATE EXCUSES
The combination of these two idiomas is most painful to the average student. He is absent. The assignment is given in class. He knows only one or two names of the students in the class, and even these he hesitates to call, not because he doesn't want to get the assignment, but because they might think he is pushing himself on in their friendship. Even in class rooms there are timid souls.
Of course, the phrase, "I wasn't her last time" has been overworked as an assignment excuse, but in the past it has applied truthfully to cases, so must we suffer because we, too, are timid souls?
Judging from the parking in front of the Memorial Union building during the varsity Saturday night, there must have been a big "spree" among the automobiles while their masters and mistresses tripped the light fantastic on the ballroom floor.
SATURDAY PARKING "FRENZY"
The Chevroletos formed 30 degree angles with the Fords while the Packers practiced class isolation from the Buicks. Traffic proceeding north and south on Oread gave the "party" a wide berth as it was impossible to wend through the maze without clipping fenders.
We are still wondering if unemployment and hard times caused the cut in appropriations or if a cut in the appropriations will cause unemployment and hard times.
ENCOURAGEMENT
So much has been said concerning the carlessness of youth, and particularly the "devil may care" attitude which colleges are alleged to have, that we receive with encouragement the comments which Chancellor Lindley made of his student body before the Rotary club Monday.
It is encouraging to hear the basic truth from a man of intellectual power and influence. Perhaps the public can now realize in part that outward appearances of youth are not indications of ideals or lack of ideals.
The public judges the student by its appearance outside the class room or when it is engaged in some social activity. The public is ignorant, so it seems, of what goes on in the class room where the student shows his conscientiousness, when he is taking personal responsibility, when he is studying, or when he is working his way through school.
Chancellor Lindley's words are encouraging to the University student body: "Taken all in all, the student body is composed of hard working, serious-minded students who know why they are here, realize the sacrifices which are made to make possible their education, and wish to do their best."
Big Six directors evidently failed to make proper provisions for the Missouri "B" football team which played "F" football against Fulton.
A DIGESTIVE PANACEA
Why hamb for your liver? Why chew gum to aid digestion? In fact why exert yourself along those lines at all? Just assume a comfortable position, if possible, and take a ride over the famous roller coaster behind the library and Blake hall and all problems of digestion will be solved. For years we have been hoping that this piece of road would be paved, or at least put in better condition. At last, however, we have given up all hope, and decided that perhaps it is being kept in its present condition for the noble purpose of aiding digestion.
Campus Opinion
THE DATE RULE
The W. S. G. A. rule which prohibits University women from entertaining dates in the parlor of their rooming is one of the silhouest and most unreasonable rules which the governing group has set; the rule was hard enough but, now that porch dates are considered as house dates, the rule is worse than
HISTORY OF A WORLD CULTURE
Everyone knows that places of amusement in Lawrence are plenty scarce. Perhaps neither the man nor the girl can see to a show. What is there to do?
The wit of the University probably will smile and say, "If students are in entertainment, they are pretty petty, right perhaps, so what if neither has a car? They can't walk out to the store, they can't wear pants, won't and anyway that is prohibited吧."
Then, too, there's the rare instance when the woman like the man she sniffed at, and she abandons her gold-digging ring. What is she supposed to do then?
It may be all right now, but when it gets cold, it will not be very pleasant to stay out-of-doors all evening in order to entertain a date.
Lovelorn.
It seems to me when m. B p. m. comes,
he's never scarcely anything to do, but for
when he needs it, you can have her some place to eat, rent or borrow a car, or to take her to a show.
