TWO WEEKS TO GO
With Homecoming but two weeks off, the title of enthusiasm is rising. Committees are planning a rally which will灌容 in pop anything ever staged on Mt. Oread, house decorations which will dazzle the visitors, and special attention for those progressive alumni who are to arrive in airplanes. Old grads will do their best to show that they have made good, and present students will prove to the old timers that the alum mater is on top of the world.
The Homecomer will alight non-chalently in a twin-motor plane, hand out dollar tips all around, and hail a taxi to take him to the old fraternity house, or the new one, as the case may be. Not to be outhouse, the student will array himself in his dogged clothes, take his host date to the dance and execute his most intricate steps for the benefit of the alumni who meanwhile stagger bravely around the packed hall, pretending beneath the guise of broad grins, to be enjoying it all hugely. At the game grads and students will rival each other in cheering until they are hearse and exhausted. It won't be long now till Homecoming.
A freshman fine arts student was sent out to study nature. She came back with a bouquet of poison ivy and is now recuperating under a doctor's care.
MODERN EDUCATION
Berrand Russell, eminent English philosopher, has not only gained international recognition as a philosopher, but also as an esploit. Being a firm believer that our modern education is a failure, he be established an experimental school in England which he and Mrs. Russell conduct.
Ten American and ten English students, ranging in age from three to nine years, constitute his school. His aim is to cultivate initiative and independence early so that the behavior of his three-year-olds astonish those who see them. He claims schools here and abroad teach children to think, but give them nothing to think about, and this is what he is trying to get away from.
Russell claims that America's respect for business, and her practice of making industrialists the rulers of the nation's learned men, makes a proper system of education almost impossible.
Doctor Durant, the man who made philosophy a best-seller, defends the present modern educational system. He believes the modern education is a success, in general.
It is his opinion that the so-called evils of our educational system are the evils of our social system, and that the schools are making a brave fight against them. Doctor Durant claims there is no fault with the progress of intellect in America, but that the problem is that intellect has progressed here much faster than character; that while knowledge was increasing, the home and the church, once the trainers of character, have decayed.
The two men have debated before the question which they will debate
in the Auditorium tonight. It is of vital importance to the present, and to the future and to every student.
The Thoughtful Freshman expresses the hope that the X-ray machine borrowed by one professor is not to be used for the purpose of discovering how much his students know.
WHERE IS IT TO STOP?
WHERE IS IT TO STOP?
Traffic on this Hill comes close to crime these days.
Two days ago a woman student was caught so close between two speeding cars in front of the 'old Commons building that her clothing was brushed by one of them. The same day an instructor, starting to cross the drive in front of Green hall, was missed by inches by a speeding car, and that escape was due to the agility of the pedestrian and not to any consideration on the part of the driver, who did not pause. Every morning at 8:30 and every noon at 12:30 that traffic artery is a mance to the lives of the University public.
It seems to be a joke to the drivers. Speeding seems to have been a joke to some drivers in Kansas City in the past few days, too.
If traffic regulation means anything, it should be enforced before a life pays the price. If education means anything in the way of intelligent responsibility, the students who drive cars through the campus in an invasive disregard of the safety of pedestrians should wake up.
Shall we wait until we have a trample object lesson?
There is something a bit incongruous in an R. O. T. C. uniform tenanted by a round-shouldered individual with a meek look and a terror of crossing a crowded street.
A TRADITIONAL GRIPE
"Would you believe it! The new student directories are out at last—now that they are too late to do any good." There is surely nothing new under the sun which shines on Mt. Oread. This complaint has been inherited from the predecessors as far back as the day when the first student directory was published.
Upper classman take no notice of the fact that the directories are actually out several weeks earlier than usual, but merely voice the lament as an inherited response. Freshmen follow suit because they know no different, and in their turn will pass it on to the future Jayhawkers.
Mary misses a chance for a date cause Jack did not know her phone number and she brails out the student directory committee. Bob can't call Dick to find out what his assignment s and so adds his abuse to the pile it their door. True these are most infortunate incidents but scarcely the fault of the committee.
Can the committee be held responsible if the telephone company decides to provide variety for its operators by assigning new numbers? Is it their fault if students fail to report their addresses and phone numbers until several weeks after the opening of school? No doubt the committee would greet us on enrollment day with a nice complete directory if we sent in our names, addresses and phone numbers six weeks before school opened.
If Coach Hargiss want to give his team some practice in line plumbing, why doesn't he take them to the entrances of the Administration building, between classes, and let them try to enter?
At last! In answer to repeated coxings from the Kansan and scattering of crumbs near Fraser hall a faintcoat has been heard as the Dove bestirs itself toward issuing forth. A staff meeting was held in Fraser Hall Wednesday night and soon Mt. Orland will hear its gentle dove as she sails sweetly across the Hill with a loud cooing and a flapping of wings.
COO! COO! COO-EE!
It is too bad a fraternity sleeping porch can't be situated in dangerous and rocky places on the seas, as they would furnish a very good substitute for fog horns, at night.
MACDONALD REPORTS BACK
Premier MacDonald's report to the House of Commons on his recent naval disarmament conference with President Hoover is indicative of satisfaction. The understanding reached was not only agreeable in the main to both sides, but the manner in which it was reached served to bring America and Great Britain into closer bonds of friendship and understanding according to his testimony.
The joint statement issued at the end of the conferences says the two governments declare that war between them is unthinkable, and that old historical problems are to be approached from a new angle and in a new atmosphere. In other words, realizing that the Revolution and its causes are long past and that America and Great Britain have more in common than any other two countries, they will ignore petty grievances and unite in a more worthy effort to bring about permanent peace for the entire world.
MacDonald informs the House of Commons that the questions raised by Hoover concerning belligerent rights, fortifications, bases, etc., will be examined by the two countries to get in order to reach a just decision. It is this spirit of willingness to co-operate which is most emphasized in the premier's report to his government.
The most constructive outcome of the conference resulted from discussion of the future naval building program of the two nations which recognizes both the principles of purity in strength and variety in the use of tonnage allotted. A real step toward the accomplishment of naval disarmament was taken here, MacDonald feels.
Witness the ugly black scars that once were flower beds on the campus, a definite proof that winter has come.

DEMOPOLITAN CLUB
KAPPÀ PHI:
WITH RAPIERS EXTENDED
PHI BETA KAPPA;
The council of Karnataka Arbha chapter of Phi Beta Kappa will insert the election of new members *on* November 11, at $4.00 per member, in court on Thursday.
These are the first major elections that have been held since the last presidential election, when the Democrats received an antitizing defeat. They were watched with interest to see just how much the Democratic party had revived. This overwhelming victory came as a surprise to veteran politicians on both sides, and shows that the old faction is still alive.
Hoyer president, polled his votes for the Democratic nominee for governor to such a large extent that it proved a handslide for the Democratic party.
VETA LEAR, EDNA TEETER, Secretaries.
Not only did Virginia show its preference, but New York City also showed it still believed in Democrats, and especially in their Bean Brummel mayor, Jimmy Walker, by re-electing him with a plurality of about half a million votes. Boston implied elected a Democratic mayor, Boston elected a Democratic mayor, while Queens re-elected a Republican borough president, and Louisville re-elected a Republican mayor.
It has been rather amusing to not the editorial battle that has been waged recently between the Kansas City Star and the Wall Street Journal. The affair has been a rather vitriolic, though somewhat ineffectual, war of ideals. The champion of the West has been observed to ride down the guardian ocea of the great
goal, Speculation. Neither of the combatants has been particularly successful in gaining its point, but the arguments used by each have been highly entertaining.
During the past few weeks of scoring call money rates, the Star in its editorial columns has been assailing Wall Street for having appropriated cash and securities that should have been used constructively in the great agricultural districts of the West. The Star has consistently deplored the fact that great nums of money have been wasted on speculation when they might have been aiding to build up the West.
The Wall Street Journal has regularly answered the Star with bitter reproaches, endeavoring to uphold the inherent dignity of speculation as a righteous concept, and ridiculing the Star as being ignorant of conditions.
Whatever one's convictions may be, he can not fail to note with interest an editorial duel which recall the "good old days" of virulent personal journalism.
Now that winter is coming, it would be advisable for the rabbits, ponies cats, dogs, and other little animals to go in hiding. Women do like fur coats.

--he nominated a member of Phi Alpha Delta for an office in the open meeting and several P. A.

The Chief is a favorite with thousands of well-dressed men. Its rich, beautifully finished fabric stands up under the hardest wear. Its tailoring is perfect. Its style is even smarter this season than before. You'll not find another value that can touch it at $50! In blue or oxford gray.

THE LAWS HAVE HARMONY

THE LAWS HAVE HARM.
Editorial Daily Kansas:
The senior law students, with the help of the two legal fraternities PhD Delta Phil's and the National Bar Association, a meeting Tuesday to elect a president of the Law School for the following year.
A letter-of-form election came as a result of a meeting Monday night of the Phi Delta Phil's who not and elected the president of the school, their reward for co-operation with the law enforcement agencies. The election was merely a ratification of the candidates each organization allows the other to elect unopposed for the president. An agreement effected several years ago between the two powerful organizations permits peace and harmony to reign between the two organizations—that is, the student government is elected to fill one of the important offices. The agreement is that the Phi Delta Phil's elect the president of the law school and the same year the Phi Alpha Delta elect a representative to the student body.
This combination has functioned very successfully for six years. One slip-up occurred three years ago, how-
The purpose of the organization is to climinate friction—and to shut out non-fraternity members from holding meetings. The reason for this requirement should hold. According to a prominent law student the combination has improved the school as it has built up a feeling of fraternity and has increased rivalry in away with rivalry and cliques.
D. E. S.
We hope this improved atmosphere helps the non-members as the combinations does not seem to aid them materially in any other way.
