THEY'RE AT US AGAIN
Rip Van Winkle's bewildered en on awakening after his 20-year sleep can be appreciated by no one so well as the University student who returns to the campus after a vacation with a bagful of unstudied books.
Thanksgiving and Christmas appear on the student's horizon as arsenals where he may replish his store of ammunition to meet a new assault of instructors' assignments. But the days and nights pass as if by magic and the poor student, he be freshman or senior, returns to find his position exposed on all sides to the attack of instructors whose barbs have been miraculously sharpened by turkey and cranberry sauce (or the lack of it).
The student who profits by his experience in this last vacation and places no faith in his ability to catch up during the Christmas holidays, will find himself impregnable against the raids of the instructors next January. The experience of three generations of K. U. students shows that it is useless to leave all one's studies for vacations. A dogged attention to assignments day by day is the only way of keeping on top.
SWEET POESY
A justice of the peace in Illinois has broken into rime for performing marriage ceremonies.
His is an act greatly to be acclaimed. There is little enough poetry in married life; and we might as well start off with some, especially if from on then out the whole affair is going to be rather war than romance.
And the Associated Press reporter, not to be outside, introduced his story this way: "Justice Galvin turned to hinder a couple for better or worse," and concluded: "In this manner, the justice said, David Livesey and Faye Cliffweed."
This justice of the peace worked hard at polishing his verse. In lines worthy of Shakespeare he thus concludes the ceremony: "Then, by the law of Illinois, you two are wed; may all be joy." If that isn't poetry, neither is Peter Parel's History of America.
The reporter's efforts were slightly more labored than the justice's. But after all, for a more newspaper man, almost anything that rimed at all would be pretty good.
ALL EYES ON CONGRESS
The Bible tells us that when the children of Israel were prosperous, they forgot their God and fell into evil ways. But when they were sorely afflicted they remembered their God who had led them out of the land of Egypt and helped them escape the wrath of a tyrannical Pharah.
Something of the same reaction may be seen in the preliminaries to the opening of the short session of Congress. The stricken condition of the American farmer and the wide-spread economic depression have united to draw together the warring elements in our government, so that some definite steps toward beneficial legislation may be anticipated.
Senator Robinson, the Democratic leader, whose opinion would ordinarily be sought only after the President has completely outlined a legislative program with the majority leaders, has framed a bill for relief of agriculture which has the approval of President Hoover. In a conference at the White
House, President Hoover and Senator Robinson also agreed on policies to be pursued in the matter of inland-waterway improvement, other internal development, and adherence to the World Court.
In spite of these welcome foreunners of a harmonious session of Congress, the American public will need more substantial evidence of a new era in politics, than mere pre-session felicitations. There will be the usual appropriations bills which have the right-of-way and which may take up several months of wrangling. The old issue of Muscle Shuffle will be back to give our legislators an opportunity to display their elucidatory powers.
THE KANSAN IS REAL
"Pthishness is stronger than fiction," said Philadhman, old Indian手册商人. "It it does not attract nearly so much attention."
Then the Senate's prize detective, Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota, thinks he has once more caught the scent of excessive campaign expenditures in Pennsylvania in behalf of James J. Davis, senator-elect and former secretary of labor, who hopes to occupy the seat made vacant by Joseph P. Grundy. By the time the Senate has satisfied Nye's demands, spread a liberal supply of lard on the appropriations, and exhausted its eloquence on other problems about which the public careles little, the fourth of March will probably be around the corner and the President will be compelled either to call a special session or let his program slide for another year.
THE KANSAN IS READ!
Not so very long ago the Kansan combined a trumis and an error to see which would receive the most notice. This two-headed monster was the following paragraph, printed Nov. 17. "The stag at eve had drunk his fill, said Keats. And that was before the homecoming game."
The trumor was lost on the Kanu journalists; but the error accomplished its purpose. It did not crash the Literary Digest, which is the ultimate goal of every wiser cratch, but it received the severe attention of papers almost everywhere around here.
For instance, a recent Harvard graduate, "Young Bill" White, wrote this in the Emporia Gasserite "A college education seems to give me a man something indelible, some special grip on life, and we often wondered why young men are so successful three or four years at our institutions of higher learning never got one."
And then young Mr. Harris, writing simultaneously in the Chanute Tribute and the Ottawa Herald, said: "The Kansas, however, should not be criticized too severely because the work of Sheley, who did write it, is so like that of Keats. The line, as you of course recall, appears in the second stanza of that great poem, 'On the Road to Mandi' which Shelley, who is often referred to as 'The Swedish Nightingale', composed shortly after he had won his first success with 'Cailhan on Cetebes'. Now a simple college student hates to correct Mr. Harris, but we have heard from reliable sources that "On the Road
And then a Mr. Thompson of the Kansas City Star declared: "We thought when we first saw it that the University Kansan's credit of the Stag at eve had drunk his flask to Kents would be checked up by someone in the K. U. English department. But thus far the vigilant ones have been in Iola, Kas, Silketon, Mo., and Weihits."
to Mandala*" was not written by Shelley at all, but by Rabindranath Ghuro, an early 12th century Russian. But of that we shall say nothing more.
Well, of course, those are all highly estimable places, but the Karsan does wish it might have broken into the London Daily Mail, the Honolulu Star-Balllet, or at least the Christian Science Monitor.
It was a good joke, anyhow, and the English department was in on it all the time.
Thomas Carlyle was notoriously unkempt. His was the temperament of genius, and his clothes mattered not to him. At last his friends became deserate. They took up a collection and persuaded him to let them have a tailor measure him for a new suit. When the tailor came, Carlyle refused to stand up. The tailor expropitated. "But," said Carlyle, "I must wear this suit sitting down, and you will measure me sitting down, or at all."
TEMPERAMENT
Thus run the traits of great men, so tradition has it. Einstein is following the same obstinate course. Frau Einstein recently attempted to describe her husband's measurements and appearance to a clothing store clerk so he could outflush the professor with a new raincoat. After much furtile description, the clerk suggested that the good Frau bring her husband along for an exact fit.
"Ach," she said, as she threw her hands in air, "I wish you had my worries. How could I fetch him here when I can't even persuade him that he needs a raincoat at all?"
The wives of geniuses have hard lives. Don't ever be one if you can help it.
Edith Dalilu Kaneen:
Campus Opinion
Thanksgiving eve I'd occasion to
attend a theater in Kansas City. The
 orchestra played the Joyhawk and fol-
lowed by the Alma Mater. No a Kearnan stood.
Kansas had just won the championship and this method was taken to them by a proud of smokers sat through the Alamo, a stole that one who is recently away from the Hill is to find that that is the reason our students have for the school?
You worry and fret about being out of the Big Six—yet willingly allow Kansas to be publically shamed. What right have you to blame athletes for the IHUIP? You had the actual slain lily directly on the student body!
I've attended K. U. nearly four years and intend to graduate with two hours more, but if Kansan is "boating" suchibly licked into his bin of sham-faced students, you can expect him to a finishing school. Yet I'm trying to induce others to attend! Can no bune be done about it? Even a Missouri date remarked about it?
