--high-powered cars and fur coats and money for any and all sorts of expensive entertainment could help things along this year by playing Santa Claus in the matter of gifts of food and clothing if they would so choose. Such things can bring only temporary relief, but temporary relief of this nature can sometimes accomplish wonders in pulling a family through a desperate period in its existence.

WATCH YOUR STEP
Hobo day is at hand. Old days, dirty shirts and trousers, socks, torn couts, blackened faces, and what not will be seen on the campus tomorrow.
The campus will not be policed any more than it has been since classes started in September. The majority of the students are expecting to leave for their homes Tuesday. They have that opinion because they think that we will get out of school one day earlier after we beat Missouri.
There is no written law or rule to the effect that classes are dismissed a day earlier if we beat the Tiers. It might be called a custom.
But, there is a rumor on the HILL that if any property is destroyed or clauses broken up tomorrow morning there will be a new school getting out of school one day early.
The school needs rep. There will be plenty of tomorrow on Mt. Ordeal. Perhaps there will be plenty at the convention, plenty in the class rooms, but it must be "dignified and quiet" enthusiasm to warrant dismissal of classes Tuesday.
Let's have a big day on the Hill. Be- tween classes and at the convocation but when classes begin, think of going home one day early and refrain from "nob psychology."
TAKE THAT, SCORNER
Short skirts are back again-at least as long as the wind keeps up.
"The dramatic satiric doesn't attempt to draw a faithful picture of life, nor does he paint life as it ought to be. He seizes upon something in life, isolates and exaggerates it, and makes it abutred .he microprevents both parties in his story . . . to the end that we may see the absurdities in them," read the program at "Androcles and the Lion."
Now that the play is all over, something may be asked about just why that particular item was printed where it was.
It is a very edifying little paragraph, and everybody in the audience appreciated the information contained therein immensely. But doesn't it strike one as rather odd? Anyhow, some of us are wondering if there was any ulcerative motive behind its appearance, by whom it was written, and just what it was aimed at, if anything. Did it have anything to do with the controversy over "The Marked House?"
Some of the laws apparently have an eye for business. One of them would even be willing to prosecute the sidewalk painters in order to drum up a little trade.
LAWRENCE'S EMPLOYMENT
Who realizes that Lawrence has his unemployment problem just as much as the large cities? A good many students would have their eyes opened if they were to go around and see how many people in this town merely exist. The students shrug their shoulders and say they can do nothing even when they realize how bad conditions are.
But they can do some thinking on the subject. They can lend moral support to and take an interest in anything the city administration may care to do in the way of alleviating the condition.
And plenty of those students with

MAN COMES INTO HIS OWN
Hobo day has once more been saved, the day when the University man comes into his own. He has patiently endured such feminine mime-making as the style show, W. S. G. A. election scandals, and puffin proms; but tomorrow he can give himself over to real enjoyment.
Mother won't be around to see whether he has washed behind his ears and at least six inches above the end of his shirt sleeves. It won't make any difference if his shirt has a ducky circle around the inside of the collar—it will serve as an excuse for not rushing his neck.
For once there will be no objections to his wearing his hat all day if he kes. With a luxurious yawn he can ip it over his nose, slump down in is chair, put his feet up on the chair head of him and feet peacefully while the instructor glows at him in potent rage.
Oh, yes, the women will make some pretense at observing Hobo thy, but they won't enjoy it. They will still spend as much time as usual before the mirror in an effort to select frocks suited to their coloring and figure. When they meet each other on the campus you'll hear such platitudes as "isn't she too cute for words?" But when a real hobo comes along, there'll be the exclamation uttered in a Little Red Ridinghood tone of voice, "it's he

NOT MUCH UNITY .
Neither our collegiate manners nor our collegiate culture exhibit much unity. Occasionally, to any of us little
We write on sidewalks.
We best treat freemakers.
We abhor unreality in our drama.
We idolize victory to the extent that our conduct approaches muckering.
We deride any provincialisms or moves differing noticeably from our own here in Kanan.
Yet:
Unlike some other contemporary American youths, we venerate age. Most of us are kind to animals.
We do not laugh at all the futilities we consistently see.
We dislike raucous voices and os tentatious behaviour.
We have a childish admiration, but admiration nevertheless, for beauty, in illgence, power.
PERFECTION
But there is one on the campus who knows how to act, who knows what to do in every situation. One, everyone has noticed, who never goes wrong. He is the campus cop who paces the walks of the Hill during the day. With a non-rasible smile, and a pleasant nod for every person who goes by, he is the ideal specimen of the policeman. Students would do well to observe and copy his good manners.
Students congregate on the sidewalks, students aloud about on the streets. Students crowd the entrances to the buildings. Students do a thousand things which are not mannerly. They break every rule of etiquette. Professors are just as bad. They bully students in class discussions; they make students wait while they talk among themselves.
DEPARTMENTAL INADEQUACY
DEMANDMENT INDEQUACY Nearly every department on the Hill seems to feel that it is not getting a "break fair." An inquiring reporter who makes the rounds will find in many cases that the department heads are bemoaning their lack of adequate equipment, the excess of work that is piled on them by an overflow of enrollment, and their deficiency in the supply of teachers to handle the work as it should be handled.
Such a thing is natural and is to b

found in any group of departments working under one common head. Probably much of it is real and much of it fanned. But there are without double many departments of the University that are not adequately equipped to handle their work as they should. One specific case can be cited.
Every freshman and sophomore woman on the Hill is required to enroll in some form of gymnastics work. The women's physical education department has only three instructors to handle these women—probably amounting in round numbers to more than 1,000 students. The women have their gymnastics classes, their swimming classes, their hockey classes, their tennis classes, and other activities—and with only three instructors.
Campus Opinion
The department is doing a great work with the resources it has at hand. But it needs help.
Editor Daily Kansan:
I postponed until the last night the pleasure of seeing "Androcles and the Lion." That it has not been over-rated was evident, as the prologue did all the acting, were excELLent, and it is certainly a tribute to the department of speech and dramatic art that so many students could perform it without being able to produce such a good result.
The satire was mostly rather bread, and easily apparent, but the barm which he used in his speech oughtly appreciated. It hit the marty when the Roman captain, after giving the condemned Christians his opinion, threatened with questioning, and declared that "he would not be drawn to that same effect." (or words somewhat to that same effect.)
This reminded me of a meeting held nearly three and a half years ago, when a man of similar occupation in a more rural area came to the conference certain matters; then, faced with questions and exceptions from members of both friends and foes, drew himself up.
in much the same manner and expressed in much the same wording the police officer had last night, and finally, backing the author to quit the protector, stalled him.
That this modern officer, like Bernard Shaw's characters, was an ex-soldier and a patriot of the civil war dispute. But the fact remains that no man in a soldier's uniform has been seen on a platform at the University of Oxford. It is a point of view from questioning of those who disagree, despite invidious which have extended at different points.
Nineteen centuries have brought many changes in the style of military dress, but they do not seem to have affected the personalities of those whom they adorn, whether the minorities are Christians or Pacifists (or both).
THE LAST WORD
L. A. B.
To the retiring editor-in-chief, May he live long and enjoy the rest he has to consistently earned. In his last name he said something. That was more than he was expected to do. I am over him. He used "thun" once. And he used "thun" once.
A profane, undisturished army has had its hopes hurried to the ground. A petition has been overruled. The R. O. T. crows its head in profound grief as it kills its humorous, childish, trivial, radical, former editor-in-chief farewell.
An Army Man.
