"SANTACLAUS"
There is a Santa Claus.
The myth of our childhood days, that there is a Santa Claus, has been proved true. On Christmas day fortunate boys and girls may receive a letter proudly bearing the post-mark "Santaclaus." To say that St. Nick may be seen on a swearing day in July as well as in snow December, may sound fictional to those who do not know that the small town of Santacluella, Indiana, exists.
The real Santa is Mr. Martin, postmaster in this little town, to whom numerous letters are sent by postmasters in other cities who know there is such a town. Students who have outgrown the idea that there is a Santa Claus, may just as well keep mind that there really is one.
DRIVER'S LICENSING
Recently after careening down the business streets of downtown Kansas City in a car almost entirely out of control, a drunken driver was finally stopped by traffic officers.
Uniform licensing of automobiles drivers in all states would make this a very rare occurrence. A person guilty of such recklessness, such disregard for human life and property would find himself deprived of the right to drive a car, and violation of the law's command would give him a long jail sentence.
Westerners seem to care little about taking New York for an example of anything, but in matters of licensing drivers New York furnishes an excellent one. Drivers must pass rigid texts to obtain a license which must be shown upon demand. They are deprived of it when they prove themselves unit to be contracted with the driving of a car. No New York driver dares to leave his permit at home; for should he be caught for speeding, or figure in an automobile incident of any kind, the first thing the officer demands is the driver's license, which fully identifies the driver by description, photograph and signature. To drive without the right, or to be unable to show a license when one is demanded is a serious offence. Such a plan should be put into effect in all states.
NICARAGUA
Among the many measures clamoring for the attention of Congress at its short session is a bill advocating the immediate withdrawal of the marines from Nicaragua, and an investigation of our policy with regard to that country.
United States marines, so it has been frequently reiterated, were sent to Nicaragua, for the express purpose of supervising the recent election held there. That election has been peacefully culminated. The Nicaraguans have chosen their president. It now remains for the United States to indicate her sincerity of purpose by recalling the marines.
Big Ten universities say they are abolishing razing of basketball officials. That "abolic" sounds rather strong. Why not just abolish human nature and be done with it?
FRESHMAN MATERIAL
No basketball player has ever made a letter during his sophomore year without freshman training. This proof from the last records of Dr. P. C. Allen, director of athletics, should mean a great deal to their traternities that are prone to keep their star freshman capes from going out for basketball, so that they may compete in the intramural tournaments. Doctor Alien, in commenting on this recently, said that "some organizations competing in intramural play think more of uplifting the honor of their house than of allowing their pledges the freshman basketball training necessary for them, if they ever to become good variety material." Of course, intramural basketball looks very nice on the mantlepiece of dear old Epsilon Epsilon, and it is certain that former high school stars, who may be among the ranks of the pledges can be of great help in boosting the fraternity's intramural record. However, it is a most disorganized and self-centered fraternity that sacrilege general benefit for self gain. We cannot expect Doctor Allen to bring a Big Six basketball title to M. Ortace until he has free reign available new material.
WHAT PRICE BEAUTY?
Dr. Louis Berne, New York surgeon, recently performed operations in plastic surgery on three of Premier Benito Mussolini's female relatives with such success that the dictator became interested and wanted to know if the method was not possible on a large scale. At the basis of B Duce's interest is a plan by which all Italian women are to be made beautiful at the expense of the government.
In America, the first reaction to such a plan may well be "What price beauty?" The next is a hesitant questioning as to whether or not regularity of feature, beauty, is to be desired of all women? Evidently the Italian dictator thinks so he desires not only purity and femininity in women, but beauty as well. Italy will become the mecca of beautiful women, nation of a those lovingly aunt stupid.
If such a plan were to be carried out, itly would lose her individuality and cease to be an interesting country. When we become surfeited with beauty, we lose in time our sense of appreciation. There would be no longer left the fleeting joy in accidentally meeting a beautiful woman. Few can forget the women they have known—and loved—who have been almost ugly, but whose charm and interest hay in those very individual traits of ugliness. Often these women are the ones who are striking and smart looking because they know the assets of being unbeautiful. Certainly, we would not willing lose him.

INAUGURATION TRADITIONS
However, inauguration day is in a great day for the country, particularly when a new President of another country comes to office. The Presidents, while personally preferring to be inducted with less strain upon their time and strength than an elaborate procession and a "grand ball" imply, find themselves impelled to show off their skills will. Senator Sackett's sensible idea may prevail and it may not.
With President-elect Hoover modestly favors a simple inauguration and the merchants of Washington to give it an air of ceremony, the congress might like to follow the suggestion of Senator Sackett of Kentucky and determine for itself and the citizens of the state what should be held, and make the institution permanent. It is rather anomalous, as compared with the practice of the inauguration of a President of the United States should become every moment more unusual. The actual ceremony is very simple. It consists merely of the president riding to the Capitol, taking his oath in the sage, usually on the steps on the eastern side. He is provided with a small official escort from the Army and his wife, Mrs. White House, where, from the north lawn, he reviews the more or less important things which has been provided in his honor.

King Tut's Tomb, and Mayan Bible Furnish Archeological Developments
Among the recent developments in the field of archeology are the translation of the Maya bible, the Palaeolith B1; as it was called by the Indian convert to Christianity who wrote it down a few years after the Spanish conquest country in 1424, and new discoveries within the tomb of King Tutankhamun.
The two other translations of the Popul Buj, a valuable document in American history, made long ago, have been subjected to certain ericilisms is not being faithful versions of the original. Because of this, J. Artemio Gillicano, of the Faculty of Political and Historical Sciences, and Flavio Vincenzo, of the Faculty of Archaeological Monuments of the Guatemalan government, begin a fresh version of the rare document, now in the Guatemala Library.

That homily is based on the text, "Engineering Department Buys Radio Instrumenta" a recent Kanman headline. The headline writer meant that the university had purchased engineering and Architecture but purchased a new radio transmitter. But the particular headline used allowed only 22 units, hence the coordination of all these units to reach of calling the School of Engineering and Architecture a department.

COUNTERFEITING CIGARS
CIGARS
The Cuban embassador announces that his government has taken steps to protect consumers against counterfeit Cuba, particularly cigars. A green seal of the republic will hereafter be attached to every box of cigars men trade in. The embargo makes it difficult to probe to prosecute every dealer who sells goods under the precepts that they are genuine Cuban cigars. It seems strange that the Cuban government takes steps within this country to protect the products of Cuba against misbehaving a n.a. counterfeiting firm or government doing? The law prohibits citizens for commercial frauds. For the protection of American citizen this should be enforced, without further delay. The law governs exports. Washington Post.

Colleges are "now blamed for" "the current政教 in urbanism." But how much racism is there for urbanity in a city? Why are invoking the injunction to live leisurely?
Jake Harrison, who did not attend KU for two weeks, gathered Tables at KU. If two weeks pass, he will come in his Biostat Gazette as follows:
"Under the title, if I were Editing at a Newspaper, a lawyer, an educator, a physician and a minister conference at Lawrence. A newspaper edited by any one of the gentlemen named would be a thing of beauty and would not contain its editor but to few others. A lawyer would be a high degree of accuracy that stories would not be published for fear of injury or would contain so many problems that it was hard to creating. A minister would fill his columns so full of the propaganda of his self that he would make outsiders tired. The physiology would be in a bad state and would dey the value of advertising as meethical and the educator would use a lot of words that would make the ordinary plager dizzy." why reason these professions? As a matter of fact, from the very able discussions by the various gentleman representing these professions that man knew almost a hundred per cent that lawyer, doctor, educator and prescriber in each case would have been already familiar with the showed understanding of the main paper man's business and troubles that was hardly expected by men from their walks of life. This merely a reminder of how important present day successful folks and shows that they do not make their successes by measuring others according to the standards set in their

*Dutch Traditions Are Related*
"The Big Ball," which means "collect all the traditions divided into a proverb, in which the Indian author tells why he wrote the book, and 11 "traditions," that begin with the creation of the world and end with it."
Eleven Traditions Are Related
Other traditions relate strange and stirring adventures of two supernatural heroes, the wandering of Maya and the rise of an ancient people already occupying the region of the Old Maya. Empire. The last great empire, history up to the Spanish invasion.
The first tradition explains the creation of the world and of living creatures, from the ancient great entaclyme. The second and third tell of the first arrival of the "folkies" in the tropical heads of rivers to the sea; the sites for the right to stay, while the fourth embodies a delightful legend of peoples that fought here for supremacy.
Tomb Yields New Articles
The tomb of Tukukhannon "continues to yield new articles of great importance. Two such discoveries have been published." Carter, archaeologist in charge, and by Dr. H. R. H.凯, honorary Antiquities in the British Museum.
Bath of these new finds are ritualistic, and connect the dead king with the great god dreadful. This divinity, which is associated with death, as the god of vegetation, and the new sprouting of grain along the Nile is immersed with the resurrection of the god.
Inside a wooden box in the tomb was found a figure heavy wrapped in linen. When the handmade was removed, the "mummy" was found to be wrapped in wood. It had been filled with slit from the Nile and grain had been planted in the silt. Then it had been wrapped as a mummy. The grain was removed and became a symbol of resurrection both of himself and of Tutankhamon.
King Tut Dressed as Osiris
Standing on each side of the recumbent Tutankhamun are two birds. On the left is the Ba-airb, or "sooul" and on his right the Ka-airb, or "sooul". Each bird throws one wing over the body symbolizing divine protection.
The second object was a funerary gift to Tukamkan from his overseer in the Place of Eternity, that is the overseeer of the tomb. It is a chest adorned with intricate carvings. The tukamkan dressed as Oisir. The stuttee is of carved wood, and is only twelve inches long. It lies stretched fat on its back. The head dresser has a large gold headdress with the royal cobra on the forehead. The hands are closed and crossed at the wrists on the breast. The hands clearly once held the emblem of Oisir, the croaker and the lion, but there when the coffin lid was raised
Students at the University of Kansas, much the same as students at many other universities, including Washington, found their interest in pop rallies lagging. But an ardent Kanan prevented the embarrassment of public displays by receiving a most *original* and quite effective method of bally-hoo.

ANOTHER SCARE
According to Prof. Walter B. Pikin of Columbia University's Department of Journalism, men of the liberal intellectual capacities will soon be jobless.
In *Proff. Pitkin's* book, "Best Minds," we find ourselves in the embarrassing position of having to find high-quality intellectual work for our students.
The Hawk's Nest
The author is probably going too far in predicting that the upper strata of intellectuals will find themselves with no occupations or with occupations inferior to their ability. People have always managed to keep most of advancing civilization, and there are people who indicate that they will not in this case.
But the theory has at least sufficient to put another book on the market, and done its part to swell the knowledge of one of the intellectually superior.
