SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS
WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 9,1929
Lawrence is celebrating the seventy-fifth anniversary of the founding of the city this week. Townpeople are recounting stories of pioneer days and business houses are ready for the big event. But relatively what is seventy-five years? In America it is a milestone very city, village and hamlet desires to reach. Kansas blue stem and buffalo grass have been trumped out and we want to announce to the world that we are getting oal.
A few inhabitants now living here are among the first to break the sea around Mt. Orcad. To them the city is the growth of a lifetime. We of the younger generation who receive this heritage look upon it as something sacred and hallowed with time, and it is well that we should. But what would a foreigner think of our celebration? They would tell us of peasant houses in Europe inhabited by the same family for hundreds of years and of castles that have stood for centuries. As to the age of their cities, they would only shrug their shoulders. Who knew the age of Rome?
We are getting old; we are seventy-
five. Age is mallowing our traditions
and making them more sacred as the
years go by. As for those who tell
us our city is but an infant we reply
yes, our city is an infant, young, drun-
determined, but growing older and
always with an eye on the future.
From Kansan files 10 years ago—“St. Louis advertises herself as the city surrounded by the United States. Let us suggest the motto: 'Lawrence—the burg surrounded by the Kaw river, Hasbell Institute and the University of Kansas.'”
SOMEBODY ERRED!
In looking over the Kanan files of last fall, a peculiar headline struck the reader. It said that workmen were commencing to break ground on the new Snow hall and that the work would be completed next June. Now, it may have been some nice reporter who viewed the wreckage of what must have been a pleasant little bare spot just west of the Administration building, and came back to the Kanan to make a wild guess on when the building would be finished.
Later on, in the same file, another story on the progress of the new Snow hall told that present weather conditions were delaying the erection but that the contractor was making regular progress just as expected; and still further on, new Snow is rising up from story to story at a rapidly accelerated rate and would probably be finished shortly after the spring nemest . it was completed.
This fall, another Kannan reporter set out to find out when Snow hall would be ready for occupancy. He learned that no serious difficulties had been met with and that the work was coming along as rapidly as expected. Furthermore he learned that the reports given out by the Kannan in previous stories, that new Snow would be ready for occupancy in June, and later by September, were erroneous. Reporters are subject to error, but it is incredible that they should be consistently erroneous. The time when new Snow will be ready for
occupancy can attail be only vygagly predicted. What would the University do should a skyscraper be needed?
What has happened to the fellow who said he would shave in class the first time he saw a woman powder her nose while the instructor was taking?
TO JOHN WILLIAM PUBLIC
"If you want to address yourselves to nobody and have nobody listen," a sage adviser would say, "just start out by addressing some counsed to the great American public." Any potent criticism offered or directed at "the public" always applies to "the other guy." This is addressed to John William Public, and John William Public is you. The subject of this counsel is strikes, here, there and everywhere.
John William, you are not dumb
you are just ignorant and you are not
enough concerned to be any other
way—regarding stitches, for instance.
You sit and hear the distant rumblings out of some strike-torn community, and, unless your bread, butter, luxuries and contention are marred, or your sense of justice irked, you refuse to be bothered by such trivialities.
If perchance you do struggle up from your pillow, and say "Hub?" when some supposedly communist party starts wrecking the established order of things, you take the first piece of subtle propaganda that slip into your foggy intelligence, and say "This has gotta stop! It's a nuisance."
You don't know what it is all about, and what is more, your intellectual fibres is due for considerable taught-ing if you do grasp any broadly-formed conception of the affair. You sit back and wait until some promulgated information jars your oxbile senses, and then act without any further deliberation. John William Public you big, fat, overgrown, well-fell bevine specimen, this "sitest" attitude of yours is a disgrace. Come out of the armchair, and look over the strike situation.
SYMPATHY
Everyone who has watched the fruit less efforts of the University authorities to build a navigable piece of road south of the Hill, from the power plant to Sixteenth and Indian streets, no doubt sympathizes with them in their efforts. They have tried hard enough. The chuck-holes have been filled time and again with cinders; after each attempt the road looked perfect. Yet, in a short time the holes were again so numerous and so deep as to be a menace to the traveling public.
Such is the condition of this stretch of road today. Sight-seers and others who have occasion to visit our camp and either approach or leave from this side are apt to get anything but pleasure from their visit.

Also, the plan is costly. Mutineering prisoners have a habit of shooting down guards and tearing up property in general. Furthermore, outbreaks do not contribute to the best interests of the prisoners themselves. Often they get killed themselves, or if they live and are recaptured, they are subjected to heavy penalties. Yes it is apparent that prison outbreaks are not the most efficient means o

If either sympathy or cinderwould build a run this one would be perfect, but it appears that neither will Paving is the only solution, and since it must be done sooner or later, little will be gained by delay.
TOO COSTLY
Probably the only way to keep the matter of prison conditions before the public attention is to have bigger and worse prison outbreaks. People are thinking more about prison conditions nowadays than formerly, for the simple reason that there are more prison disturbances nowadays than formerly. Even though the recent Colorado mutiny cost only a dozen or so lives and a few hundred thousand dollars in property damage, it was sufficient to cause some comment. Possibly if prison outbreaks could be placed on a systematic basis so that public attention could be stirred up at regular intervals, sufficient social pressure could be brought about in time to remedy the conditions that cause the outbreaks. But even this plan has its drawbacks. If there are no prison disturbances, how is public attention to be held?

the social Undoing of Elizabeth Ann
This was a party, she thought.
One they'd talk about for many
a day. Everything was going
beautifully.
As a hostess, Elizabetta Ann decided that she was a grand success. She gathered happily guests in the lavish guest rooms in the living room.
And then...the telephone rang!
She giggled as one of the group at the nearest table trumped her partner's ace. The voice of conversation rose and fell.
"Yes, he's here, she an-
niewares the phone. He's in the garage
working on the car. Oh!.
Looks like, very well.
Thank you."
Her heart sank. The sparkle left her eyes. Too well she knew what to expect when her husband "worked on the car."
"And things has been going
well," she said. "I am at a

Ed was waiting in the hall when she closed the door miserably behind the last guest. He caused a casing arm about her.
"I'm sorry, honey!" he soothed. "It won't happen again. Tomorrow I'll order an telephone for that kitchen."
