NOT ONLY LAWRENCE
The wealth of history and tradition surrounding any sort of anniversary celebration is sufficient to attract general interest. The early history of Lawrence to be recounted in the celebration this week is particularly full of excitement and significance. That alone should around the internet of University students, Lawrence is not alone in her celebration, however. Closely bound up in her founding and growth in the early history of the University. For this reason, the annual freshman initiation is being incorporated in the anniversary program, since it depicts in vivid symbolism the history of the school, an important factor in the story of Lawrence. The University also will cooperate in other features of the event.
Bound up as it is in the development of Lawrence, the University nets wisely in taking an active part in the celebration. The event is almost as much the University's as it Lawrence's. It behoves students to attend whenever possible. It in their celebration, too.
Mt. Olympia, with its classic myths of Zeus, Athena, Hera, and the other Greek divines, sipping nectar and gambling upon its slopes, now will have even greater attractions for tourists. An American hotel and dance hall is being built there, according to reports.
OUR OWN LECTURE COURSE
Certain patterns of the University cafeteria daily suffer gastrointestinal infection. They hold up a steadily lengthening line of famished persons, by pondering up... the important question of what they should eat. The situation is worse when these individuals are accompanied by others of their kind. Freedom of discussion thereby is encouraged. Like temps, the waiting line figrets.
To be fair, one must remember that students are taught to guard against sap judgments. One should weigh well all the factors concerned in making a decision. Choosing one's food is an important matter. One must not be too hasty. However, students are taught also that indecision is an indication of weakness. Responsibility entails the ability to decide for oneself. The responsibility of selecting one's food is no exception. Many cafeteria patrons see have had little experience in making decisions; perhaps the cafeteria affords them valuable practice.
But after all, for the majority of patrons, the cafeteria is not a personality laboratory, but a place to get something to eat, and as quickly as possible. They don't want the line held up by those inexperienced in responsibility. Learn fast, dawdlers, even if you must use snap judgment.
Only eighty more days until Christmas, and already several women knew that they will receive more than one box of candy.
A DAY FOR DAD
Every year, at about this time, we hear the same old cry, "Dad has been neglected. Mother has always been given attention but Dad hasn't been properly considered." Whether or
not this is true, Dad's Day is so inside, and students set about the important task of giving him his due. In general, good cooperation is shown, and a good time is had by all. Dad's day at the University has been held each year as far back as most people can remember. It comes first in the calendar of the year; even before Mother's day and, strange as it may seem, Dad enjoys his day as much as Mother does here; sometimes it seems a little more. Dad is necessary; more than that, he is useful; and more than that, he is a good fellow. Every student is glad to show Dad a good time. Sometimes he seems a bit too serious; almost as though this business of sending his sons and daughters through the University were not such a simple task after all. That is why it is really a treat to see Dad enjoy himself. So we have Dad's day and Dad's hamament over the game. Everybody co-operates; everybody does his best to make. Dad forget his worries for a day; everybody is surprised that he can really have to much fun with Dad; and everybody wonders if he didn't have a better time, even than Dad; just showing Dad a good time
According to reports from the student hospital, more than twice as many men students than women have heart trouble. Make your own wire crack.
EVOLUTION
"To Mr. Ramsey Macdonald . . . you have no moral right to enjoy liberty and security under the British flag . . . you will smite all the fiercest enthrallments of our soldier heroes with deadly chill. Your influence is a paralysis . . . At the beginning of the war you played the traitor to Britain's cause . . . You have been fiddling while Rome was herring. You are not of us or for us."
The above condemnation, pronounced by a Leibertier clergyman with the fervor of wartime zeal, was aimed, little more than ten years ago, at the man, now at the bum of the government which be opposed in the war, who at this moment confers with President Hoover on the momentum question of world peace, widely accolbed in both countries, and commanding the attention of the world. Today, Ramsey MacDonald is popular in Great Britain. "In my opinion, Britain will be ruled by a Labor government for several years, perhaps a decade or more to come," wrote Kirby Farse in the current issue of The World Tomorrow. A change has come in the briefman of ten years. But it has not been Mr. MacDonald who has changed. He is the hour's foremost advocate of peace.

"Sit Defendants in Tiers"—headline in K. C. Times. Probably in the same manner as football rooters are sitted.
MORE STATIC!
A recent ruling that games of the Big Six conference shall not be broadcast from the stadium press boxes was endorsed by officials of the conference. It is understood that the officials had reasons for their arguments, reasons in the terms of gate receipts. They took the stand, like the big fight promoters, that broadcast seriously hampers the science of building a bank account. They maintained that the grid fans, on learning that n game is being broadcast said "Oh, well, we'll not drive up Lawrence; we'll listen in"; but is it so ? Would they not say if the game was not being broadcast, "Oh, well, we'll read all about it in the paper. Why should we drive to it we?" In either case, if the school

"The jury system in its present form may have answered the purposes of the statute," he said. "It is to the words of the present time," the statement says. "Under the simpler
Yet, mothers and fathers and others who are not able to attend games, who would not come to the game, rain or shine, radio or no radio, are deprived of their opportunity to listen in on the game and probably to hear their boy, who, if not a subject for cheering, be likely to be a member of the lusty throng intently occupied in the march of events on the playing field.
M. U, coeds can have Sunday night dates again. Columbia theaters have voted to have Sunday movies.
"Bears Peace Hope"—headline in The Star. All we have to do now is pacify the bulls.
The football fans consist largely of a limited part of the public. Radio broadcasting would be a point of contact with the other part. It should tend to build good will rather than to cause more static in school relations.
Hawaii's Silent Volcano Will Erupt Within Month
Washington,—Hahulai, the Hawaiian volcano for which Dr. T. A. Jaeger, noted volcanologist, has predicted possible eruptive activity in a region of the island's quietest of all volcanoes known to be active. In a statement to Science Magazine, he called attention to the geographical laboratory of the Carnegie Institute of Washington, himself a leading authority on the ways of volcanoes, called attention to the geological history of the Hawaiian Islands, Hailuah had only one low flow of major proportions, and the volcano was built in 1801. Then the lava broke forth from a secondary vent on the side of the volcano, forming founded stream to the sea.

Hawaii land at a considerable distance from Kilauea, most active best-known of Hawaii's volcanic fumaroles. The highest point of the island of Hawai'i, about 60 miles from Kilauea, which stands in the southwestern part. It is about twice as high as Kīlauea, rising to about 72 miles above the bearing several well-marked cones on its summit, as well as a number of craters on its slopes.
conditions of a century ago we had juries that were perforce more intelligent because they were composed of lawyers, not jurors. Some those involved in the litigation before them. Today there is usually a jury, and there are also up of the litigants and their 'peers', the jury. The lawyer has kept up with the changes in the law but has not; a condition the lawyer has been quick to take advantage of at the expense of justice and the law.
"The lanes growing out of our economic, political and social life that are required to be settled in courts now are no longer the same as those our forefathers were confronted with in an earlier era. Human behavior has itself become more complex, dynamic and difficult conditions. Violations of the law are not so easily determined in our present intricate industrial life as they have been in the past for a hundred years ago. As a result, our court needs not only a more adequate organic law and a more modern legal system but also a system to minister this law, but they need every help they can get from other fields of knowledge than their own, that have a bearing upon the problem being addressed.
"Not the least of these helps can come from the growing body of knowledge possessed by psychiatry and its concerned particularly with problems that are among the most difficult the courts have to deal with, namely, problems in human behavior, emotions, and reactions composed of psychiatrists, psychologists, or other experts, not even that every juror he examined by such experts before he is impaired. It is important that we serve as a service that psychiatry and psychology can render in helping judges to better understand problems in which human elements are deterred or may be able to alleviate the scales of justice.

"humano conduct is a pivotal factor in every case that comes before Solomon," he says. "Solomon they must look to others to supplement their knowledge in various particulars. Psychiatry is called the medicine of persons accused of crime concerning whom the question of humanity is raised. It is coming to be a position and treatment of convicted offenders. It has been used to de-
fend, prevent or to facts. It can certainly help in selecting better juries. It can do a great deal, even with its present American mute more efficient."

Autumn of'79.
WHILE Yale and Princeton were battling to a tie at Hoboken, New Jersey, a small group of scientists, directed by Thomas A. Edison, was busy at Menlo Park, only a few miles away. On October 21, their work resulted in the first practical incandescent lamp.
Few realized what fifty years would mean to both electric lighting and football. The handful who watched Yale and Princeton then has grown to tens of thousands to-day. And the lamp that glowed for forty hours in Edison's little laboratory made possible to-day's billions of candle power of electric light. In honor of the pioneer achievement, and of lighting progress, the nation this year observes Light's Golden Jubilee.
Much of this progress in lighting has been the achievement of college-trained men employed by General Electric.
