TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 26, 1929 WHAT PRICE GLORY Do we want a Memorial Union building which has to be paid for by sneaking up behind unwary persons and demanding either their pledges or their reputations? Certainly the boys, in whose honor we supposedly have raised this splendid memorial building, would feel that it is a tawdy glory which must be purchased by the employment of a group of Shlocks to force payment of pledges made with more enthusiasm than wisdom. Can we look with pride upon our Memorial Union building with the knowledge of the unbefitting method of its accomplishment? Now is the time to stop quibbling over the uselessness of women on our campus or the cost of chewing gum in Scandinavia and to develop some really worthy method of completing our memorial without resorting to forced payment of ancient pledges. The fellow who owns a broken-down collegiate flizer is usually the one who can speak most authoritatively on the advantages of the front wheel drive. A TRADITION The annual rumor that Hobo Day is to be abolished is coming to be a traditional as Hobo Day itself. Each year Hobo Day is pronounced to be a vicious practice greatly destructive to property and academic pursuits. "This year may prove the climax which will call forth definite action," says the Kansan news columns, Well, that may be true. The administration may see fit to abolish the custom this year. But it would be rather surprising. And there is no particular reason that this year should prove to be "the climax." From past observation, one feels that the event last Friday was rather mild compared to former Hobo Days. There was little, if any, actual property damage reported. The engineers raided the law school but the effect was but momentary. The street car motoren were somewhat anoyed, but they had an easy time compared to former years. Classees were disrupted in many instances, but probably no more than on other Hobe Days. Now, there is no use of trying to justify Hobo Day by any exercise of reason. There is not much logic to it. But it affords a rather harmless release of what seems to be an unconfined spirit ever prevalent among undergraduates. It had better be released in this fashion than through the destructive inter-campus warfare such as preceded the K-Aggie game. And Hobo Day can be lots of fun when entered in the right spirit. Missouri 7, Kansas 0—and the flying homecoming made a forced landing. THE DOCTOR'S WARNING Students going home for Thanksgiving vacation or going out of Lawrence should be careful and avoid small pox, diphtheria, scarlet fever and other contagious disease, is the warning which has been issued frequently by Dr. R. I. Canuthes. THE DOCTOR'S WARNING danger of bringing serious diseases, which may cause epidemics similar to the flut epidemia of last year, is a real one with about 4,000 chances of becoming more real. Doctor Cautenison has realized this and given a number of warnings with methods of prevention. At present there are no cases of small pox in the county, no cases of diphtheria in Lawrence and only two cases of scarlet fever in town. Students should avoid all communities afflicted with any diseases. It would be better to remain in Lawrence during vacation than to go home where illness is. The danger to the student himself, not to mention the danger to the school, should make him cautious in this respect. We like early Christmas vacations, but we hate to have to go to the hospital to get them. And now that Homecoming is over we can go home for Thanksgiving. GOING TO COLLEGE "Boy, I'm going to college next year and really have a swell time, just like they did in that college picture the other night"—such conversations as this, showing what impressions many of the young men and women intending to go to college really have of university life, points to one thing. The moving pictures showing this deceiving college life should be done away with. The wild revelling, drinking, and "good-time" scenes which are portrayed in such pictures, impress the young minds of future students, giving them wrong ideas and misrepresented views. They look at college as a place to have a good time and perhaps "book" a professor out of a grade. They don't think of attending a university primarily in order to get a higher education; they don't lay their plans along this line, arranging and outlining courses which will satisfy requirements and which will do them to most good; instead they find out what course requires the least studying, which ones are snaps and easy, so they can live a life they have seen in the pictures. As a result of this, after entering the institution, they waste at least a semester or two, sometimes even flunking out, before they realize their mistake and fantastical idea of a college life. Should any practice that leads to such a thing as this be tolerated? Most certainly it should not, for it is a demoralizing factor in the educational system of the nation. The same men who fused when short skirts came in are the ones who are bowling now over the advent of the longer ones. NOTHING TO BE THANKFUL FOR Thanksgiving holidays present a spectacle to the K. U. students this year. What do they have to be thankful for. The Tigers won the football game, the first time in the new stadium. There was not a good football day for a home game all season. Their vacation was clipped of the expected extra day to celebrate victory. The authorities are contemplating taking away Hobo Day—perhaps because it did no good at all. Mt. Oread has not even the little things to be thankful for, because the Laws and the Medies tide, giving disappointment to all persons interested. The Memorial Union building still stands unfinished with a movement on foot to have to force payment of pledges out of alumni—and the bowl of the stadium has not been filled yet. Meanwhile, notebooks, themes, and whatnot pile up on the students with too many disconcerting quizzes mixed in by professors who do not understand the strain of excitement they have all undergone during this season. The new Snow hall finally has been finished, but months late, and the Dove has come out with disappointing things about the football team. Two members of the cross-country team, unbeaten yet this season, have been on the sick list for the past week and may not be able to run in the Big Six event at Lincoln on Thanksgiving day. But tomorrow, these crushed little Delta Phil Delta will meet at 7:30 in 310 west Administration building (this evening). Prof. Albert Block is the speaker. Attendance is required.

RUSSELL BECK, President. COMMITTEE ON RELATIONS TO OTHER EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. Plain Tales From the Hill A meeting is called of the Committee on Relations to Other Educational Institutions on Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 27, at 4 o'clock, in room 203 Administration building. The meeting is for organization and reports U. C. MUCHELL, Chievoan CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY: A new invention can determine accurately the exact location of any space in the United States. Now we'll able to find some of these towns listed in the student directory. Schwarz and Habe Ben K. U. BAND: The next hand rehearsal will be Wednesday evening, Dec. 4. Each member will please check in his cape at this time. I appreciate and thank you all for your splendid co-operation in the football season, and I wish you a pleasant Thanksgiving vacation. J, C. McCANLANS, Director. It isn't the original expense of a woman's skirt that counts. It is the upcreep. Jayhawkers will hurry home to escape the worries of school life in the peaceful and unassuming old house town with mother and dad and the rest. After these eleven long weeks of school without a break, the Jayhawkers can chuck the world aside and sleep until the sun shines again, and then get up and eat with gusto, the Thankgiving dinner. Then they can be thankful. --school, were it not for outside help. Is it right that I be given an education because of my ability, and wrong that I am given an education because my ability is different? If no, I cannot see it, and I am open for suggestions. "Wonder under what names ours Thanksgiving turkey will appear this year", ventures the Thoughtful Freshman. It seems that even Hobo Day has its merits, according to Doctor Gady. While trying to disturb the peaceful classroom, she found a class with his lecture, he suddenly found assistance in the repeated tingle of alarm clock coming from the back. From the Hill “Ah,” gasped our leading scientist, “that is a brilliant idea.” Now we wonder if Doctor Cady will make an appearance in any major part of his ‘hass’ equipment. Nothing to Be Thankful For The minister was enunciating the things for which every should be thankful and mention the general enemy, prosecution enforcement and was proceeding to more personal matters when the Solomon Senior whispered to his colleague that he cannot leave at the Carnegie report." Water basketball is a new form of intramural sport at the University of Cincinnati. It is quite difficult but often shown indicates that it is popular. Remodel Caribbean Island THE CAFETERIA The Pan-Hellenic association at the University of Oklahoma has rules that the grading average of security pledges be changed from 24 points to 30 points. The lower standard in it is based on an experiment this semester. Paris—(UP)——The French National Office of Torence has decided to assist in the development of the island of Guadeloupe as a haven for tourists of North and South America. The Touring Club de France is also to lend its efforts to attract more tourists outward from the Caribbean islands. The price of the Oklahoma year book has been raised from $3 to $6 this year. Twenty-one hundred hundred dollars for the book at the advanced price. The National Office will help in the building of mountain roads and refuges for mountain climbers, and new hotels built on the island. Then an extensive propaganda will be sent to all American tourists turned that way. After this year, a different football captain will be appointed by the coach before each game at Carleton College in Northfield, Minn. Serves Food As Good As You Will Get at Home Students of Denver University took advantage of the recent snowfall in nearby mountains to organize a skiing and go on a week-end skating party. Thanksgiving Scholarship and Football Editor Daily Kansan; Campus Opinion Acknowledgments Since early in the season, the papers have been crammed with articles concerning the subduction of athlete Bobby Peterson. The summary presented by the campus Roblehik sheet. In all the articles are so-called proofs that certain colleges are paying their players. UCLA and USC are so much unpleasant publicity concerning his supposed "salary" for playing football, but in none of the articles have I found what can be proved or proof that such methods are wrong. 1925 Ford Coupe 1926 Dodge Challenger 1925 Buck Roadster 1925 Dodge Roadster 1925 Oldsmobile Roadster 1925 Buick Sedan 1925 Buick Sedan 1925 Buick Coach Motor vehicle localization What is wrong with it? In my opinion there is nothing. Let me pose two examples that have come under the same fire. First, formerly a prominent high school football player, is now a freshman in college because some former K. U. student had a scholarship because of his athletic ability. Ten other boys, including myself, are in K. U., because a former student decided to give up his athletic ability. In both cases the students named probably would not be in USED CARS Lawrence Buick Co. Phone 402 700 N. H.
