GOVERNOR MURRAY:
KANSAS GUEST
With his mountains drooping amabilly, his back enceased in a recently bought frock coat, and his early-formed hungers soothed by the announcement that he will be treated to corn pane and bog jaws when he dines tonight, Governor Murray came into Kansas today to make three speeches and to be a guest of the Democratic party here.
Murray has been derided from coast to coast; every paragraph writer has taken a verbal shot at him; but notwithstanding, the lanky Oklahoma governor has marched firmly on in the face of derision and political antagonism in his own state.
Whether one agrees with his principles or not, it is obvious that Murray has one admirable quality; once he promises a definite move to the people, he makes it. He is no political hedger Pledged and reform, the Oklahoma citizens found Murray saying to a recitant legislature when they opposed him, "The roll will be called and the fire bells will be rung before this is over. When you have whipped me, you can brag about it—but wait until you do!"
*Alfofa Bill* "may have his little tastes in food, his strange likes in clothing, his love of resonant oratory on gala occasions, but when the times calls for it, he can be a thoroughly emphatic governor.
One co-ed was afraid to carry a suitcase containing a costume up on the Hill the other day for fear of being arrested on suspicion.
TOO LATE FOR MOVIE TYPES
With a sigh of relief we hear that the Universal movie scout has left the campus without taking any Jayhawkers along with him.
The school, perhaps, might sustain a few more losses in its student body and continue to run, although the cxocus after the first semester left us pretty well thinned. What we are elated over is that the Universal scout was looking for definite collegiate types and couldn't find them.
In point of service to his cinema company, the scout blundered. Almost any layman could have warned him that the time to find college boys and girls who fitted into the movie theories was before the first semester finals. After that, only the more enthusiastic students are left; and somehow, we always found, enthusiastic people with a bent for achieving have little idiosyncrasies that yield a better perspective crouched over a book than crouched before a camera.
The truth is, heroes and heroines in flounder, rarely have brows creased with perplexing frowns from deliberating over calculus or the intricacies of Minor Sports. I nor do spectacles riding one's nose enhance one's beauty to a point where languid movie spectators will gulp and write tons of fan mail.
There is such a thing a timeliness, and we warn the Universal scout to remember it the next time he considers getting collegiate types out of K. U.
A Kansas farmer sets an alarm for 5 e'clock which turns on the lights in his chicken pen and house. It would be ecstasy if an attachment could be made to start the toaster and percolator.
If a student goes to class without preparation, he runs the risk of being called on. If he partially prepares his lesson, leaving about the last five pages unscanned, the fates may turn thumbs down and his instructor may ask him a question whose answer remains on those unread pages.
TEMPUS FUGIT
The oids are heavy against the unprepared student, but the instructor is more fortunate. Our erudite professors sail blissfully over the sea of glittering generalities. They cruise in bays of speculation and explore little intents of philosophy. They drift with the current of reminiscence until the tide catches them and they are carried away and farther away from their subject.
It is easy to accomplish—this casual voyage through the unchanted seas of generalities, and the log of the trip would run something like this: Professor walks in to class late, 9 minutes; he thumbs through papers, arranges and rearranges books on desk, 5 minutes; calls roll and hints about the value of being on time, 11 minutes; answers a question in which no one has the slightest interest, 15 minutes; introduces the theme of the class lecture, 3 minutes; discusses the character, antecedents, and general deprivation of someone who has written a book on this subject with which he does not agree, the whithe blows, and he reluctantly makes the assignment. It is, fortunately, not as bad as this
It is, fortunately, not as bad as this most of the time, but an hour is wasted in class more often than it need be.
Mathematics club hears speech on "Pi" and How To Get I. *Refreshments were served following the speech. Not only a good speech but concrete proof.*
BRINKLEY'S ALTRUISM
Dr. John R. Brinkley in a signed article printed in the Sunday Wichita Beacon relates his pleasant experiences while in Mexico. He paints that country as an arcadia with a climate similar to that of May in the United States. The garage one reads about in the papers do not exist; there is no lawlessness there. People honor the public officials who work so hard for the good of the country. One may safely wear valuable diamonds, even dishonestly acquired, and faux cloths of stolen money without fear of having it taken.
Mexico is also a country of beautiful secrecy, and improved roads. The rail service is equal to that of the United States. It is the press that has created the bad impression of romantic country. A singing, happy, misunderstood people are the Mexicans, judged uniquely since all people in this country believe section hands are typical representatives.
Because of this misunderstanding, and in an effort to give a correct impression, the government of Mexico has given Doctor Brinkley a permit to build a 50,000 watt radio station near the United States border, probably at Monterey, and from here to broadcast Brinkley truths. Here buried in wonderful secunity, located near hot springs which are a panacea for all lilts, the doctor will again be able to ad his friends.
What a wonderful thing it is to understand people as Doctor Brinkley does! What a wonderful pleasure it must be always to want to help others! It is too bad that there are not more altruistic America who want to do good just for the sake of doing it. At last Doctor Brinkley will be able to do the great things he has always wanted to do.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
"In a community man, but we have very much interested in the fraternity tux fight. I have been owed to Topkaer to he argue the arguments pre-publication of the committee, and my purpose is writing this article is to inform the members of the committee in Friday night's Kansan that they have several facts wrong. They evict us because they read the newspapers and not by attending the hearings to get first hand knowledge."
--all don't spend at least five cents out of every dollar for pleasure. That amount is not at all extravagant.
TAXATION
In the first place, they mention that he average allowance of a fraternity annuus is $50 per year. That is not what Mr. Freak did say, but a dark stark was a mise-print in the newspapers. What Mr. Freak did say was that $800 is the average budget of a fraternity for its parties for the year, and that $1200 is for f. a fraternity, and I ask you if we
And now, what arguments have been presented for the tax? As far as I can see there are only two. The first is just plain prejudice against the fraternities, and it is also unfair to mention. The second is that the non-fraternity men pay taxes while the fraternity men do not. From reading the article written Friday night one would be led to believe that the non-fraternity men pay tax which the fraternity men do not.
What they meant to say was that the non-fraternity men my room had an indirect tax by renting a room from their landlady, and much more, much could your room rent decrease if that landlord did not have to pay any taxes? That landlord is not interested in paying taxes, she is interested in renting out her room. One an am sure that my room rent would not decrease one cent under any conditions. I can see where my room rent will increase if the fraternities institute a new tax on rent. That will mean less men in fraternities and more demand for rooms, and according to the economic laws of supply and demand that will most certainly have a tendency to raise room rent.
I believe that the fraternity men pay more of an indirect tax than we non-fraternity men do. As was stated by one of our professors, 17 fraternities and should know where he speaks) 2 per cent of the university plans, giving room and board to visitation, lectures, study groups, year for free services to the University, as such helping on the Homecoming
And now, may I ask this question. The non-fraternity man will be willing to give the fraternity pockets to support the above named University functions as the fraternity

A MOUSE IN A TRAP
Soft-eyed, soft-furred, and reticent. His only fault a too great epicanthurism He liked starched shirts too well. It caused his death.

Between the life of a mouse and the integrity of my shirts.
"What is a mouse to a shirr?" said I (Rather should I have marveled by comparing anything inanimate to a life.)
I did not consider the mouse's cleverness,
His modesty, his retiring character, his indisposition to obtrude himself or his opinions in the clure of day.
The slightest displeasure on the par of others and a tail-whisk—van ished!
Doubleless he had a family dependent.
Perhaps he was unemployed and starving. Quien Sabe?
He would not argue.
Here was a noble creature.
Then a careful hunt through the first drawer. Nothing there.
Then a push of the nose to wince

the nose, or a slap that could get

bottom of the next drawer-er-
only also easier after careful exe-

Here is the message of these government works to the younger generation regarding the origin of fascism "Italy, France, Germany, and Poland, slaves; today one of the great powers of the world, presenting an admirable character," the Fascist Revolution have made our nation so strong. The barbies and the martyrs of the Riisorgement, of the Great War, and the Fascist Revolution have made our nation so strong. It is now your turn to grow up healthy in mind and body, to continue the work, to lightly cry out for the country, to lightly civilize." And what are to be the distinguishing marks and the rewards of that "civilization?" "You must be ready, as you are, to die secretly should the safety and the country call you to fly to arm and

Grab-bag buying
REMEMBER your kid days. . . . When you went to a bazaar or fair of any kind there was always a grab-bag—one of those mystical things you reach into and drew our a whistle, a lollypop, a doll or a toy of some kind.
You never knew what you were going to get—but that was half the fun. You didn't care!
But now when you buy anything, you want to be sure of what you get. You can't take chances on grab-bag methods. You must know that your purchase will fit your need. But, do you?
There is one way you can be reasonably sure of everything you buy. Buy advertised products. Read the advertisements. They will give you the information necessary to intelligent buying. They will tell you what is new and best and why it will suit you.
Advertisements are a form of introduction from the manufacturer or merchant to you. It is to your interest to read them.
Advertisements tell you what you want to know about the goods you buy.
