OUR HALL OF FAME
From a field of eighty-nine early-day Kansas editors, twenty-three names have been submitted to the Quartercentury club by Sigma Delta Chi for final selection of three to be placed in its newly established hall of fame as a lasting memorial to pioneer Kansas journalism.
This state has a rich history, both sanguine and prolific in its rise from an uncharted territory in the west. Hand in hand with its growth nationally have been the efforts of its newspaper founders, editors, and men of letters.
With the New England stock which poured into Kansas at the time of its suspension between the free and slave state groups, small print presses have been doing their part toward strengthening the ties between rural Kansas and urban life. From the rich mineral regions of the southeast to the cattle and wheat regions in the western part of the state, these pioneers in journalism struggled to convey easy impressions and conveniences by the printed page. Journalism in Kansas took on a state significance which evolved into national aspect.
It is hoped that the Hall of Fame will be a lasting institution to the efforts of its first pioneers in the journalistic field.
ALFALFA BILL IS NOT A FEMINIST
Headline: "Man Flings Body from High Bridge"—Some contortionist.
Governor W. H. Murray of Oklahoma has struck at another group in his effort to alleviate economic depression in his state. Three married women whose husbands are employed, were dismissed, and their vacancies will be tilled by people "more acutely in use." Like his flowery oratory, "Afalaila Billi" activity is noteworthy; where the former is orator, the latter has a direction that is swift and sharp. He reasons that football teams, professors whose class hours bring them as dietantes in point of labor, and argumentative congresses are luxuries. He cannot countenance those things. Now married women have fallen under his obprotrabism as wage-seekers, and once costing those deep-set eyes of him on them, he will not be content until he thins their ranks, and places them again in the respective position married women held prior to the alleged dawn of New Womanhood.
Found: a perfect optimist. A solitaire player in Washington, with the game score already 16 to 1,290 in "old sol's" favor, desired to play one more game in order to raise his batting average.
CLOUDS IN SUNNY SPAIN
**CLOUDS IN SUNNY SPAIN**
The news from sunny Spain is carefully censured, but enough has leaked that it is clear conditions are in a critical state. Alphonse may be able to speak, and she could clare a dictation, or someone else may forcefully take over the reins of government.
In a telephone conversation a representative of the monarchy laughingly denied any chances of a republic revolution, on the strength of the leaders being in jail. But such precautions are no sure guarantee that revolution may not break out.
The press from Spain remains silent and there is little or no news, but there
is every indication that things are hap pening. In such a crisis affairs do not remain static, and it will be a question of time only until some change wi come. Alphano has not shown him self in the past to be a strong leader Existing conditions give him a gloo chance to take leadership. If he can dominate the situation Spain will remain a monachy awhile longer, be the present spirit of Spain calls for more than an iron hand.
"COLLEGIATE SMUGNESS"
In a current magazine an article on colleges contained the phrase “collegiate smugness” to describe the mental attitude in which the majority of college students look out upon the world. Are we just a herd of youths crowded into class rooms, being filled with quantities of cut and dried data; crumbling tons of capped feed into notebooks that don't differ one from the other except perhaps a little in the shade of the ink? Do we recite back what we have been heard drilling into us like many parrots? Do we copy, chest, bluff and crie, yet consider ourselves the cream of all youth?
On the other hand, don't we occasionally think? Don't we sometimes reason out things for ourselves? Don't we often shed the hypocritical, the prim, and seek for something more fun. We can't imagine how much disease yet, but there may be a warning in those words, "colegiate smugness."
MINIATURE BABIES
Miniature golf, miniature football,
and row miniature babies. Everything
is coming in miniature form nowadays;
it's the vogue.
The miniature baby bad was started with Harold Lloyd's young son who is such a midget. He lived end and still living outside an incubator. Little chicken, to think he could do something like that and get before the publisher would make it easy for him early, and promises to be even more famous than his father.
While the world was busy watching the little Lloyd grow another midges decided to share the limelight with the future movie star, and so came the little 24 ounce Hunter baby in Kansas City. Ushered in unexpectedly, he now lies in his bed in a dresser drawer, takes his milk from a medicine dropper, and sleeps. Occasionally he gets a little hungry before the next real time, and all 24 ounces of meat forths for a bursy cry; so lazy in fact that his father predicts that he will be an auctioneer.
Is our next generation to be Lilliputian?
THEY SHALL NOT DRINK
The Kansas has maintain an attitude of calm detachment over a period of years in the midst of the rabies controversies in the Kansas Press over the relative merits of onions, spinach, carrots, and fruit salad.
But now, in the face of the vital question of whether to dunk or not to dunk cornbread in potlikker which is upsetting the Solid South, the Kansan will desist its judicial contemplation of academic problems in order to congratulate the Kansas City Star on its unerining consistency. Potlikker, according to our Metropolitan neighbor, has clearly and definitely, in an editorial in this morning's Times, it mentions eating the much discussed liquid.
Properly speaking a liquid, especially one as juicy as the one under discussion, could not be eaten. But the Star has seized one more opportunity for the wine industry's policy that it will not permit drinking even as harmful a liquid as potlikter.
It makes no difference whether Kansas wins or loses; giving the song and yell is traditional after each contest of football and basketball.
WHAT A BLUNDER
There has always been an unwritten law that the alma mater be played by the University band after a basketball game. Following the song students and alumni give the famous "Reck Chalk." The same is true at football games. When the final gun is sounded the band starts to play the song and everyone joins in to pay a tribute to dear old Kansas.
Last night something was wrong.
When the gun was fired to let everyone know that the game had come to a close, many people stood up and started
to leave. The members of the fama picked up their instruments and folded their song books. Our cheerleader had come in, but let the crowd leaves the auditorium.
That is the first time this year that the alma mater has not been sung or the rock chalk given after a football or basketball game. Immediately when the game was over, hundreds of students remained in their places to sing the "Crimson and the Blue."
Kansas had won a basketball game, but what was that? Nothing more than winning from the K-Agages. The Jay-hawkers had won from the Wildest earlier in the season. Perhaps lack of yelling was due to the fact that we had won from one of our rivals, yet record in rank, for Missouri is the ancient fear of Kansas. The game had won twice, but it was too, almost every Jayhawker wanted to beat the Mashantah school two to one.
At any rate, the alma mater should have been sung and the rock chalk should have closed the entertainment. Let's hope that such an error is not made hereafter at athletic contests, especially basketball and bootfall.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
First, may we ask what glory (or is it glay?) will this student derive from attempting to impose this burden upon over 1200 of his fellow students? Any monetary publicity thereby gained will be at odds with the pression which has been made on the either men and women on the campus, both fraternity and non-fraternity.
The appearance of a certain student before the house and senate committee pleading for fraternity taxation offers several paradoxical points.
Certainly this student is not benefiting himself. His own education has been made possible by the charity of Mr. Summerfield, a member of the Ph Kappa Pai fraternity of this University. He said that he felt the dog that hit the hand that fed him
Nov. enjoying the second year of his free education made possible through the benevolence of a fraternity man, Mr. Sullivan, who self-take from fame by pleading for taxation of one of the institutions that fostered his has made possible his presence on this board.
Obviously Mr. Summerfield did not intend to promote wringling, gripbaking, and rostrory seeking for a job in the university, but money to make possible higher education for men. This student who has travelled over to Topeka to make acclimatization easier and women of the campus has certainly fallen into the spirit of his school. Of over 1200 non-fraternity men in the University of Kansas, it seems odd that many students have favors fraternity taxation, for selfish or jealous reasons, would be a man whose education has been fostered by the enslavement of a fraternity man.
There is only one possible solution for such behavior. This student has obviously succeeded in his egocentric love of publicity, and found it so strong that he tried to kill himself by remand him by a man belonging to the group he so perniciously attacks.

I read with a great deal of interest and amusement the biased and unrealistic nature of the Dove staff in the recent issue of the Dove. I am only a freelance on the Hill, but I understand that no one would want me to read them; they enjoy reading it just to see what queer ideas come forth from the heads of these people. For the benefit of the Dove staff and others who may not know the true situation, I would like to give the facts
Signed.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I speak of the article which refers to certain members of the athletic department as the "ob-jitting association." In the first place, the person who wrote the article would do well to make a more complete investigation before he makes such point remarks. The person who wrote the article "K—men are given employment at the athletic office, locker room, or stadium. This is absolutely not true. I am employed by the athletic office and I am employed by the athletic office. The athletic office employ eight students, two are freshman basketball players, one is a "K—man in track, one is a "K—man in football, and four are athletic nor does we pretend to be."
It is Dr. Allen's policy to hire 'men in the office whom he thinks can handle the work most satisfactorily and most efficiently, and if he believes that a athlete can perform the job more efficienlty than an athlete, then that man gets the job.
As far as handling the work at the stadium is concerned it takes a real he-man to do such work. From what I have seen of the members of the Dove Staff I am sure that their puny, wacky attitude would break under the strain. We had no such things as carrying 100-pound sacks of cement, punishing an enormous roller

Furthermore, it is not only right that men who are acquainted with athletics and sports must be employed for this work? Does the political science department have an administrator in the English department hire men who are specializing in electrical engineer-
In regard to the last paragraph in the Dove article, it seems that the gentleman who wrote the article is presumably a merchant on the Hill from his use of the "T" atticie. We are sure that the memoirs of the merchants and athletes the gentleman a great deal, and it would be such a shame to print the names of the merchants and athletes the gentleman a great deal.
Again has the pink hued bird nailed (orth from its nest and again has it descended in all its wrist on that "inhuman organization" the military machine. One begins to wonder what a machine would be like, 'were' you the R. O. T. C, to drop from among the departments of this institution. Foor Dove! For without the old vehicle "army" to test her talons on, she must have a mere shadow at her former self.
No, gentle Dove, a man does not enjoy being referred to as the product of a sausage mill. But, then, in the figurative sense, that the phrase was intended to describe a product more or less than a mill! We enter its portals as raw material. We are turned out as a finished product, and we do not experience the relationship between the mill and the other."
War has lost its glamour, its romance, and has lost its cold methodical rhythm. Why then? The answer is today they disillusionned! It is better by far that he be to go war knowing beforehand what he will do in the chin gun" and realizing in full the details of modern day battle. Preparing for war is not our objective, so we must be no war. It was once said by a "amous man that if a man shall carry a rifle," and the reader should use it to. The same applies to a nation. If she has well trained civilians with the rifle, she may be the spacer of war. Ask any red-

The writer feels that he possesses more knowledge of the "inside" of the profession of arms than he who so "ploriously" sobbed forth the intern- most thought of his somewhat one- sized heart, and yet this same writer knows how to come to the cause when an unfit attack is made on the ideals of the profession.
This is only the personal opinion of one of the “hot dogs” but it no doubt will express the combined opinion of a constructive criticism, not destructive.
Perhaps this, shall we say painst, was disappointed in the fact that he had advanced work and so harried indignation with only the thought in mind to injure those whom he believed had wronged him and caring nothing about it.

Weighed . . . and found worthy
You may feel perfectly assured in buying any product that is consistently advertised here in the pages of the KANSAN. Such a product has been weighed . . . and found worthy. Not necessarily by us . . . not by any committee on advertising integrity . . . but by the sternest judge of the last court of merchandising appeals . . . the buying public!
It seems reasonable then, doesn't it, to believe that the manufacturer of any product to be offered to the public will see that it is worthy before he backs it with thousands . . . often millions . . . in advertising!
Advertising is merciless in its treatment of the unworthy product . . . it serves only to hasten its failure. No amount of advertising . . . no matter how skilfully done . . . can force a product of no merit on the public. They simply won't buy it.
