THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 1930 MERRY KISSES Another day or two and fathers and mothers all over Kansas will have to get used to being waked up in the middle of the night when Johnny or Mary gets in from the various holiday parties, dates, programs, and shows. The student at home for the first time this year will be carefully watched by his old enemies for any signs of "pustin' on alve." And just as embarrassing is the worthful illusion of the high school kids for the fellow who is attending the big university. There will be embarrassing questions from the pastor as to the nature of your church activity at the University, to say nothing of the drip kisses which two or three amuses still think they have the privilege of giving to the baby who looked so sweet in the little cap with the blue ribbons. Then there will be the old sweetheart bely obtruding herself to demand her rights. She may look as well as ever, but the chamees are that she still thinks "Oh yeah?" is a snappy expression and a boyish boy very chic. Of course, there will be compensating features in your visit which will make of your vacation a real holiday. The solicitous regard of your mother (even though you rebuilf it with attempted matrineal gruffness), the genial sympathy of your father, the gaping interest of your kid sisters and brothers at your glamorous experiences, and the Christ-mae script in the old church, will warm your heart. So with this last issue of the Kansan in the old year we wish you a Merry Christmas and a New Year unmarred by inhibiting resolutions. And then the luxurious satisfaction of lying in bed about the time for the 8:30 whistle, beads of food prepared with a sympathetic regard for your tastes, parties, and bull-fees with old pals, will seem like paradise after the heavy drag of three months at school, and will set you up for the horror of final examinations. The Thoughtful Freshman thinks he will send the Chancellor a Christmas card just because he had a Convocation on the day before the vacation started. It gave him another hour to study the math exam some kind-hearted professor gave him on the last day of school. A STUDENT EMPLOYMENT PROGRAM The men's student council, attempting to fulfill its platform of last year, has adopted a resolution to endorse certain steps suggested by the student labor committee to improve student employment conditions. While the resolution marks only a preliminary step, and needs the approval of the Chancellor's cabinet before becoming effective, yet the student government administration deserved commendation for what it has done. "Great aches from low-to-corns grow," it must be remembered. The general program of the council involves a centralization of employment-getting agencies and the collection of data about student employment, with some attempt to give available jobs to those who need them most. In detail, it is proposed that each working student shall be compelled to fill out a card giving the salient facts of his type of work, his hours, the date employed and the date released. The results of installing this means of getting information are expected (1) to furnish some more accurate idea of just how many students do work; (2) to inform the men's student adviser of maladjustments in working conditions or detrimental conflicts between classes and working hours; (3) to organize the students somewhat more effectively and to improve the quality of their work so as to raise their average wages; (4) to discourage students from coming to the University when there is no possibility of finding anything to furnish them support; (5) and to give accurate and thorough information of all sorts about student employment conditions—a step which must be taken before any effective reform can be accomplished in student employment con- The situation with regard to student employment is infinitely complex; and the problem will be by no means solved in any short time. Nor, for that matter, can it ever be completely solved so long as entrance to the University is unrestricted. But there are some hopes in organization, some advantages in more complete control of the situation which should undoubtedly react to the students' benefit. If the plan does not work, it will be discarded. If successful, it will grow. The working students must themselves show interest and initiative if any solution to their problem is to be found. Opinion is the most potent instrument for good or evil that operates on this campus. If the working students contribute their suggestions and ideas, they will help themselves by that much. Rep. Ruth Bryan Owen went to a meeting of the House the other day with a snake coiled about her neck. Later she spoke just two words when she had an opportunity to talk. At this rate, all the traits that man like to label as feminine characteristics will be done away with, and then what will the poor gentlemen say when they want to be sarcastic at a woman's ex-jeune? STRIKING A BALANCE Last year an instructor conducted a survey of a beginning journalism class, and found that more students were interested in the Kansas account of the serious illness of the late Secretary of War Good in than in the play-by-play account of the Kansas-Nebraska football game. The Kansas has taken this survey, and many other expressions, as the basis for publication of more outside news this year. It believes that the average reader is more interested in resuming in his student paper a limited amount of outside news material than long accounts of speeches given at club meetings attended by 25 or less, or long guest lists. That the Monday paper used as an example by the writer of a campus opinion today was overbalanced in favor of outside news is admitted, but that is one of the ups and downs of a newspaper which has a certain amount of space to fill, regardless of whether it has too much or too little material of the best sort. The Monday issue was the most one-sided in this respect this year, and the staff does not think it is a fair example. The proportion has much more often been in the other direction. The Kanan wants to cover Hill news adequately, but it believes it can do this and still have room for a limited amount of outside material which, it believes, a sufficient proportion of its readers desire. The library of Princeton University has become so voluminous that a new building is being asked for. Our Watson will never suffer this way so long as the bindery at Topeka exists. If Spain needs any charity, we would suggest that Knute Rooke take his team over to meet the "balls." Notre Dame has already slaughtered Wildcats, Mustangs, Trojans, and Builds this year. Notice to Austin owners—The Dickinson theater will offer free parking space within the lobby. A pun is not the low *at* form of wit. We have the Sour Owl.

RHADAMANTHI: Campus Opinion --sick and tired of receiving such a poor student paper for my four dollars. More students than the average in comeback year in consider their subscription for next year JOSEPHINE WHEELER, President. Editor Daily Kansan: The third column from the left is a story on the expansion of the Extension division. This story, if I may suggest it, starts with a page, but very few students would find it of the interest that its position as part of the next convocation speaker. Thank God, I do not have to buy my home town paper to find some student materials. I entered the Campus Problem Speaking Contest this fall talking of the Kansan and the Ute. I want a prize or because I want publications in the Kansan and because I am To what to ascribe the front page policy of the Kannan, I do not know. But he is known for his proud of the editorial sheet of the Kannan. It has shown that our editors understand world affairs. Editors that can extend their interests beyond provinces are indispensable. Second, the main interest of the subscribers in their University Daily Kansan is in the scriptures and their wishes are worth nothing—the main interest of these subscribers is not in outside news. Anyone who buys a Kansas City Star or the Lawrence Journal-World. Anyone who buys the Kanas, does so, please note, because the Kansas City Star But just as your editorial policy is good, your news policy is bad. I ask you to take the Monday paper of this week as a recent and obvious example. Now, I wish that you would go back to the Monday Kanan to which I referred you in starting. Beginning at Montreal, Canada, Madrid, Spain, which was prepared by the United Press. Next we have an experience in Washington, which was prepared by the United Press. In the center column, a depression story from Washington; fifth column, a political story; in the sixth, a Washington political story—all outside stories, all prepared by the United Press. Not a one of them is student of the University of Kansas in reporting or writing a story. Nor is it an interesting duplication of what we had learned. Any university newspaper, whether it is the official student newspaper or a private one, has an art of artistry, has as its most obvious material and has its best material no other than student news. First, there is little to be outside of the campus for them. We want bigger and better news of Hill activities, Hill interests, Hill trusts, the town society. That is what we want. That is what the townpeople want in the town society. Hero K. Z, L'Ecuyer. I may be wrong, my memory is fallible, but I don't recall the dramaticcritie of the Kavanan ever saying anything very kind about the women actors who write it. I've been told that there is a natural reluctance on the part of women ever to a kind word about their sisters, but it seems to me that my dramatic crisis curries that characterize to the point where some In her ericision of "Aim and the Paycook" she dams the mail. She noises Mrs Crafton of Oakland (May we renew your critz that Juno is married to Captain Boyle?) She has a few books on the art, and a few more to cast of Frances Womble. And when the old three women course on for their brief scene, lo and fro, Mrs Crafton depresses in this case, she deplores their clothes and gestures. (Might we impquire of her what color old Irishwoman dresses you would like?) We have to further all these gestures happened? From where I sat only one gesture, by Miss Alter, was visible dirie I'm pretty sure if I had the copies of the Kanan containing her previous poly criticisms, I could furnish proof that he was a big fan. I have to让他 this suffice. Editor Daily Kansan: I've enjoyed the work of the women actors in the plays, and she hasn't. Of course there haven't been any TV shows done by them before. But they run in error and un publicly displaying my ignorance; but if there it has, it might be creditable to you that you have your contact psychology-mailed. The Kenyan critic is pleased to discover that someone actually rents her comments that she hastens to answer M.D. In her reviews of previous plays, which may be found in the files of the playwright, she criticized referred to Mrs Wilson's "innocent ability as an actress," and said that "Mrs Crafton's acting is admirable, but Uma Ora is as pretty as a picture and as graceful as she is pretty." What was the criticism of "Juno" by M. C. is of the opinion that "Juno is UNION PACIFIC STAGES BUS ECONOMY with RAILROAD CERTAINTY RAILROAD CERTAINTY Education to Teens & Young Citizens Frequent Service to Topeka and Kansas City BUSES EVERYWHERE New Union Stage Terminals in Kansas City, 13th Street, 92nd and Jackson Right in the heart of both cities.

On the contrary, it is evident from the lives of the play that it is Captain Boyle who is married to Juno.

Santa Claus Has Helpers for His Rushing Business Santa Claus, Ind — (UP) — Santa Claus has only four helpers to assist him at Christmas time doing things for boys and girls and grown-ups, too. They are Helen, 18; Paul, 15; and William, 14, all real-for-sure-daughter and sons of Santa Claus—and a friend, Miss Leona Whitlock. But Santa Claus has another name by which he is known down in the hills of Spencer County, Indiana. It is James Haskins, a former 1950s computer operator at Santa Claus, Ind.
