USE DISCRETION
When little Oscar pick up his hat and cracked the nurse on the head as she leaned over the cradle, it was an event of much merriment. "He'll be a big politician in Chengo, some day," said papa. "The little dear," agreed mamma.
But a few days later little Oscar struck his four year old sister with a toy hammer which happened to be lying in the crib. After several long consultations with the doctor it was decided that more care should be taken about Oscar's habits.
And when the law students who daily drape themselves upon the steps of Green hall greet each passing couple with "Here comes the bride" plus a few canactic comments, the campus calls it a tradition and remarks that all the little Ocars and Owalds will make clever divorce lawyers someday. But when they greet lone women students with comments ranging from "Must be the daughter of a real estateator," to many others unit to print, is it about time that they, like Oscar, be urged to use discretion.
A PERSONAL INVITATION
You are invited to join one of the world's largest organizations. With your membership comes the privilege of supporting and taking part in the greatest humane projects which are being made. You personally, become one of a group, and act as "your brother's keeper."
Hereford it has been relief i. Europe, Florida disasters, and Mississippi floods that have taken the money and money of the Red Crescent rush relief. But now it has been brought to your homes. With Ottawa and the Wakauras valley flooded and the Nesoba causing extensive damage, Kansas sends a call for rehabilitation work.
Simultaneously with work of caring for the flooded localities comes the annual Red Cross cross for members on the campus. Surely it becomes us who are in a place of safety and will only be indirectly affected by the damaged area to give to the best of our ability. The American Red Cross stands ready to give any possible help in a short time; surely University students stand ready to support it.
ON YOUR OWN
Should a junior or senior in college be able to look after himself? This question has been answered affirmatively by the college faculty and a new rule concerning mid-seester grades has gone into effect because of it. Naturally there is some objection.
The rule is that only freshmen and sophomores may obtain their midsemester standings. These are obtained only from the faculty advisers. Juniors and seniors who are doing work of D or F caliber are notified. All this is being done to save time for instructors and college administrators who may assist the new students. They believe that after a student has been here two years he can look after himself. Some student think they must have special attention all the way through school and perhaps there are others who need it.
Nevertheless the step taken is s
proper one. Reports were given out every six weeks in the grades and in high school, but in college the instructors have not time to check on every grade for every student and, as the faculty has pointed out, the work of all students does not need to be checked. So in order that the proper attention may be given to the students who are attempting to adjust themselves to the new environment the college watches over the freshmen and sophomores but allows others to settle their own problems.
OUR SLOGAN!
What great part at small price have slogs played in the successful conquests that have gone on in this world! Clever bits of parallogy have, on innumerable occasions, worked wonders in the creation of determination, enthusiasm, and confidence—all leading to victory.
An examples witness the originality of the old colonial leader in charge of Bunker Hill, "Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes"; John Paul Jones who screamed, "I have not yet begun to fight"; the men of Texas who went to battle shouting, "Remember the Alamo"; the black bearded, squared jaw Grant who a cigar in two pieces saying, "I propose to fight it on this line all summer!"; and the soldiers of Verdun who set their feet firmly saying, "They shall not pass!"
Many more could be named but those stand out from the rest. What value are these to us? How many students at the University of Kansas profit by each historic slogans? The undergraduates and graduates of this University have a conflict coming on this weekend at Columbia and they may write history. Meanwhile there is a slogan for this occasion, historic in its own name. Its value is as the value of these slogans of old. It should be heard now through out the length and breadth of the campus. From every month should come the words, "What I wrote?" and in ever新颖 chorus the answer, "PEAT MIZZGU!"
What will become of the news photoographers now that the college football captains will return from the line ball light with the ending of the season?
Trading neckties and wearing each other's clothes are common practices among fraternity brothers, but the two couples in Wisconsin who effected a wife trade involving the exchange of several children, too, have outstriped even the ingenious fraternity men.

"HOOVERIA"
PROVENIAL
Mr. Hoover has an experience which even the Roman Emperors were not permitted to have in life; they had to the stars, but the Viennese, grateful to Mr. Hoover for what he did for their relief after the war, have apologized his, placing him in their hands. He was a senator of Senate Austria gave his name to a “planet” discovered by one of their astronomers in 1920. It was the fortility of finding that particular planet versatility had to be fed in public kitchens and Doctor Pirquet was measuring children to determine their nutritional needs, that gave his name skies. He was a navigator who “Hoover” was their friend in need, and it was natural that they should put him among the stars that they thanked for life itself. Hoover is a man who “thinks planes” who is able from his own experience to think of America in relation to the rest of our own planet. He has lived and worked in nearly every city around the world, and he will supplement his earlier travels by a comprehensive study of South America. He has known the round world in our latitude. He will know it
Alexander Hamilton, wishing people of his own day to avoid provincialism and to become acquainted with the world, he told them to "think continentally." But with the advances made in physical and geographical sciences we have long since passed beyond continental boundaries, and it is likely that planetary "likely" if we are to find our true place in the world and know our obligations and our opportunities. East and West, North and South.

Another Version of the Jayhawk Name Is Given in Recent Linn County History
By Lida Eckdall
There are many sagas concerning the name of Jayhawk and each story has its own followers and believers. The name extends back over nearly a century now, according to many writers, but they differ as to its origin and as to what group of people was first designated by it. William A. Mitchell, father of Angel Mitchell, B. R. 25, has just written a book called, "Lin County Kansas History," and tells his version of it. An ardent freestate man-James Montgomery-came out to what is now Kansas in 1855. Being a bit too active in voicing his opinions, his enemies finally set fire to his house while he and his family were in it. This so engaged his friends that they gathered around for dinner. Performing a dance in Linn County—to fight the pro slavery supporters. According to Mitchell this band was the "original fifty Jayhawkers."
The term originated when Pat Delvin, a cockey redhead Irishman
returned from a visit to Missouri. His return was rather cheeky.
"Inside Stuff"
That type is made of metal and not rubber is the one difficulty of newspaper work hardest to explain to the layman.
Inside members one dear old lady who was inconsolable when she saw the name, James Horner Sprague, condensed into J. H. Sprague. What would you? One is believed to argue that he was an insider, is he not? So. In嵌闲 weekly accepted the well-meant correction. What he would have told her, had he felt inclined to argue would have been to insist that in type was some 29% units long while the newspaper's column were only 13 units wide, which by a simple mathematical demonstration, means insider or title嵌闻ed or title嵌闻ed. And what use would a headline announcing a death be by with the name of the person
Our Contemnoraries
Often students blurt, "I'm tired of school, I wish I could quit." Some of them do quilt only to repress their action later and wish they had comedy classes.
At present many students are uttering this name rash statement. Why they should be more worryed of, for instance, any other, in a way, quite understandable, as most of the students who have this feeling generally are born with it. The college life has dulled. They long for new worlds to see and camper. The grass on the other side of the fence invariably appears more lax than it does.
SHOULD WE GO ON?
It is only the junior or senior who has set a definite goal for himself and will try to achieve it time until he is fully equipped with all of the benefits the University affords in the line of work he has completed. He should himself be a clear-cut goal, be realize certain tasks are necessary to its attainment and that one of these tasks is to set a goal.
While it is not always essential to have a college degree in some subject to attain success later in life, most people do. A degree will be a great asset. Often important positions are obtained just because the person who was chosen had a degree. Perhaps he might not have graduated from college, non-college man or woman. Yet, nine times out of ten, the person who can show that he has mastered a college course is the one who resumes first consideration in major jobs.
In some instances, a student is unable to complete his college education owing to finances or for other reasons. But such students generally are of such caliber that they can meet all the requirements and all the harder towards the attainment of the goal they had set for themselves.
Often a student goes through college without fitting himself for any particular line of work. Only in a few cases is it essential that a student know more about that a student opens in the University, he should be able to determine the line of service to which he intends to dedicate himself upon graduation. The response to this is to determine for what he is best fitted and in what line of work
His result was 'purely' ordered—the village people had gathered to watch his unusual approach. He walked just ahead of his horse, which was nearly loaded down with all kinds of kitchen equipment—pots, pans, spatulas, bread machines, Dutch oven butcher knives, cake cutters, jugs of maisons and ram. Curious people questioned him and he said that in the 'sold country' the chef was expected to be 'inspected that his horse had somehow acquired the habit of the hay hawk.'

The New Cafeteria
"Union Building'
It is unfortunate that national crises, scandals, or crimes are necessary to make people keep informed concerning the event of the world change. The double reason that they themselves are the losers, and because newspapers are compelled to communicate about them in an appeal. Yet so long as the demand exists, newspapers will fill it. Journalistic idealists may better examine the attitude of the public rather than those of journalists for the emotional appeal.
National election needs to have accomplished one important requirement, and the usual conglomeration of evil, unjust and beneficial aftermath. For a short time, at least, the American people must wonder whether this result, good or bad, has completely expended itself with the final results of the election, in still in the stage of absturdion. There is no question however, but the newspapers were read much more quickly than read for a month or two.

It's in Stainless Steel.
William E. Connelly, secretary of the State Historical Society of Kansas does not give much credence to the Pat DeCline story and says that probably several groups think that they were the first men to be called Jay-Z. The others, Mitchell and many others, are firmly convinced that here is the true story.
Story is Doubted
Mitchall's story was first written for the newspaper, but much of his work was published by Historical Survey and people throughout the state. He was then requested to write a biography.

REAL BURIED TREASURE
mountain there is a diamond worth nearly $23,600 which was lost in an air-mart mutilation. Weeks of recovery have been ongoing in the location. A blockade has been established by the authorities, for the treasure hunters have been numbered among many of the smaller diamonds that were scattered over the earth. State troopers have turned into diamond mines.
The moral of the tales might be that what is lost by hazard is found by chance. In the real world, we often find within the space of a few yards where the diamond must be, but chance will probably disclose it. The moral of Treasure hunters from Long John Silver's day down, will tell the treasures that this is the rule—New York.
During a week of this search in Pennsylvania a $50,000 string of保温杯 was found on the floor. It was lost by a woman on her way to the jeweler's, and soon the small packages which contained the cups were found. Even the street sweepers failed to do more than brush it to one side. A woman named Lisa dzzled by what she saw, but like the heroine of "The Necklace," her beauty prevailed, and restoration took place.
FAIR WARNING
One of the main questions to be determined by the official investigation into the skinking of a ship is whether it was known than a humbled life is whether the call for help was or was not long delayed. If other information from the vessel was down, it is certain that more lives could have been saved. If the SOS had been sent to the vessel, it would have been probable that other ships could have been on hand to render aid instead of arriving boats afterward. In order to determine this point, we must examine all the ships or stations, the Vestris was in wireshice communication before the distress call was sent and what information was received about this phase of the matter the inquiry being conducted in New York by United States Attorney Tullus has
But Mr. Tuttle is already having difficulty. Witnesses believed in a position to know the facts say that he had been the victim of a "remember." The investigator intimates that "obstruction" is being attempted, and he has given fair warning that such tactics will not be tolerated. He has stated plainly that—with any one who undertakes to prevent the revealing of the entire truth in this investigation, either through some association with particular witnesses or by involvement in the jurisdiction of the Court.
This suggestion of "tampering" and "obstruction" is a serious mutter. It is the task of the Federal authorities immediately concerned and of the United States Government to hear that the facts concerning this tragic disaster shall be known. Any one who believes that it would be safer to come out should be firmly disillusioned. The public, profoundly moved by the tragedy of the sea, has expressed solidarity—Philadelphia Public Ledger.

I looked at the toothpaste that my tite of tooth paste was

it was time to hurry off to see me. I laced the stomach for I had missed breakfast.
The class was rather dull—it so early in the morning. But I screamed and jumped onto my stomach to keep on. When I pulled out my cigarettes, I found that the package was empty. Finally, I bummed one, but the evidence evidently was lightning-fast—at any rate, it refused to work.
I started out to the other end of the campus for another class. And it started to rain. As my ill-luck
The morning finally passed and then "came the afternoon" as the movie stuttled would say; I went to a museum and saw that a quilt was scheduled. Unfortunately, my fountain pen ran out of ink after an attempt at the first question, "But what did it matter?" I got back to her, "It head seemed to be empty of any knowledge or reasoning power that I so sadly needed. I was so discouraged that I felt like giving up every opportunity, but not even all my sweetsie today.
