OUR VANISHING COLLEGIAN
The students of Princeton University have been prohibited from "hooking" rides with autos, by a recent law passed in New Jersey. For some years it has been a common practice for students to line up along the highway waiting for rides to Trenton, Philadelphia or New York. Those days are gone. The colleges now must find new wars to go to the cities.
One can well imagine college youths despairingly roaming the streets of Princeton with their nockets full of hands, and their minds full of thoughts of "we good old days" when a fellow could get to the city for a thrill even when he was "bat broke."
What is the meaning of this restriction on young America's play habits? What will become of the spontaneous university youth of the country if such rulings are allowed to continue? There is but one answer. The refreshing collegian with his thrills, his mischefe, his blood-curdling yells, his travel "yarns", his daredevil tricks, his hilarious laughter, and his foolishness, will be no more. Even more tragic, it may become impossible to distinguish the student from the standardized man of the streets.
RADIO AND DEMOCRACY
Radio is being nailed as a big step in the direction of true democracy. In the past the electorate has been handicapped in choosing its national officers. When a candidate spoke, he chose his topic and his manner of presentation to appeal to the sentiment of the community in which he spoke and to please those he could see before him. He could say one thing in one part of the country and take another stand on the same question in another section where the feeling was different. True, the newspapers gave part of the principle speeches, but these parts were chosen and presented to fit in with the prejudices of the paper publishing them.
This year the radio has brought a change. Now when a candidate rises to address an audience he finds himself looking into the little "mike" that tells him that the audience before him is not the only group of voters who will hear his words. Now his speech must satisfy more than one part of the country. With opposing sections listening to the same words, it behoves the poor candidate to speak with discretion lest he offend them or please. Now he must satisfy the entire country.
MOVIE PATRIOTISM
A few years ago the audiences of our movies were keyed to a definite and framed code of patriotic fervor. The appearance of even a very tiny American flag somewhere in the picture was enough to set off an explosion of applause. The applause had no definite range of classification but its height was undeniably reached by a combination of shrieks, cat calls, shrill whistles, foot stampings and hand clappings—veritable din of patriotism.
One more characteristic of movie patriotism of a few years back—everything German or even faintly Teutonic was bissed. Protzez, wieners, saurkrant, goose liver sauvage—eve
anything of the sort was greeted with the rapid and noisy exhalations of air through the teeth of movie patrons.
Time, the healer, has been at work. Recently a local movie no less than sixteen American flaps, appeared on the screen simultaneously without exciting even a wrist pat. A few moments later Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the Graff Zeppelin, received a generous round of applause.
CHANCE FOR GAIN
Probably one of the extra-curricular organizations of the University, offering the best opportunity for training in musical work is the Lawrence Choral union in which students are invited to have a part. Not only does it offer an opportunity to meet with many students and Lawrence townpeople who make up part of the society, but the benefit of singing the best choral music under expert supervision has an advantage that cannot be overlooked.
For the past five years, the Choriun union, under the direction of Dean D. M. Swarthout, has played a prominent part in music work of Lawrence and the University and reaches a climax each year in the spring festival, which attracts hundreds of people from nearby communities. Frequently the festival is featured in a number of the leading musical magazines of the country. The performance of the society during this special week last year, in honoring Prof. Charles S. Skilton, drew a crowd which filled the auditorium and the occasion was acclaimed by many as the most successful in the history of the society. Because of the success of this organization it was possible to bring the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra to the amusum at a reasonable price.
Five hundred persons constituted the membership of the group last year, more than half of whom were students and faculty members of the University. The membership campaign for this year is underway, many students have already signified their desire to become a part of the society but there is room for more. Here is an excellent chance to get into organization from which music lovers may receive the fullest benefit for their efforts.
Today's Best Editorial
PREPARE FOR PEACE
At a service held yesterday in Washington in connection with the general convention of the Episcopal Church, Archbishop Kellogg was read which ought to stir the enthusiasm of all lover of peace. Taken in connection with the very able sermon of Bishop Oldham, it made the day one of dedication to the cause of peace. "We are all!" he answered in curse of war shall not again deviate the nations." He said further
The most certain insurance against this is the training of the thoughts of men in the ways of p.ace. " " " " The general pact for the renunciation of war, accepted already by most nations of the world, is another ancient tradition. Another treason is the solemn, public expression of the aspiration, not of governments, but of whole peoples speaking through their governments. For this reason it is significant of a new spirit in the world. The church is fulfilling I believe, one of its highest orders, that the will of its Founder, who is so fitfully called the Prince of Peace.
In his sermon Bishop Oldham spoke in the same strain, summoning the church to action in behalf of the maintenance of peace—or perhaps better in behalf of the abolishment of war. "If you want peace," he said, "prepare what you want." He said, bit of advice. Many years ago Prof. Sumner said in effect that nations should make up their minds what they wanted, and then prepare for it, for he added "what you prepare for you will get." Nations, said Bishop Oldham, must be "haptised, signed, witnessed, and trained" of their duty toward God and man. There is no reason why nations should not be at least as civilized as the men and women who compose them. These men and women having; as Secretary Kellogge, said, spoken for peace, and pledged themselves to it, it is for their mutual morality. The motto of all peace lovers and peace-seekers should from now on be: "If you want peace, prepare for peace."

Edinburgh, Oct. 25. Grumcoe human satellites buried beneath the walls of prehistoric bans have been discovered during the reconstruction of the ancient village of Sharn Bina on the shore of the River of Skull Orkney. The site has been excavated in 1976 and an unknown alphabet, or far underestimated, was also discovered upon the tombs of the victims. The sacrifice of human victims at the foundation of a new building to confer magic stability upon its walls is a practice well known among barbarians and attested by historical records from the Middle Ages. An archaeological dig at Sharn Bina was observed in Scotland perhaps even at the first of the Carian era.

Human Sacrifices Are Found Buried Under Walls of Prehistoric Huts

Insider never was a New York newspaperman and is "searct a try" (an) guy are newspaper offices in the big jungle as they are in the one-night stands where Insider has punched it typewriter, the idea of bringing linen to work is nothing new on Park Row even if it is on Wall Street.
The copy boy who hasn't brought in "two burgers and a hibbered beer" to an overworked copywriter is a new business owner. Nuts and coffee also have their day, and pop may be substituted for beer—which latter beverage is already nowadays of the almost variety, since the cup of coffee has become more in news office.
Campus Opinion
So our friend in the editorial column to the westward who was complaining recently that Kansan copreachers on noody duty had to go without lunch, might as well become used to the situation now. He can get hit at a bus stop, eat at a cafe before going on duty or afterward and, since noon editing on the Kansan comes only each two weeks, the financial burden should not be great.
Public Dealer Enquiries
Editor Daily Kansan:
Herbert Hoover, the well-known Republican nominee, was highly gratified by his reception in New York. We learn from a press dispatche. It appears that 18,000 loyal Republicans jailed the Madison Gardens and many stood in the streets unable to hear him make an address—this is a rare occurrence.
Despite what may be said of Smith he did not have the nerves, in the colonial sense of the term, to go to Hoover's home town to tell the local fella what the Democrats would be doing on the day after election.
Making speeches in the east is all very well, but it does seem rather presumptious to expect to carry the city that buotes the residence of his opponent. Also, it seems that a relatively small number are an offerfulness of happiness—really, herbert, we are curried to say the least.
This is not meant to be a balfryhall for either party but we think that a man who has no ability controlled the floods of this country for so long would use better judgment, and he would love a few favorites fed over a few thousand choirs in a town that will go Democratic if be really was the better man. —E.M.
As Others See It
As President Coulidge said in his address at the dedication of the Fredricksburg and Spotsylvania County Battle Fields Memorial in Virginia, the occasion was not a local or secessional but a national one. "The great questions which were at issue on these battlefields, and the decision promoted to 'a common advantage and a common progress which has accrued to the whole Nation,' Mr. Coulidge paid just tribute to the part played by citizens of the South in healing the breach left by the Civil War. The remarkable material advancement of the nation during the war, illustrated by the fact that their total wealth now approximates that of the entire country in 1900, Mr. Coulidge's plan, in conclusion, for support of the movement for world peace was eminently in keeping with the dedication of this battlefield memorial, establishment by a government which would ban war as an instrument of national policy.

+ Under the wall of one of the prehistoric huts we found a grave the capstone of which had been so built in the wall that, beyond all possibility of doubt, the grave must have been covered with stone. This touch I found two skeletons intermed with the leg doubled up as usual in pagan interments. The gifts accompanying the corpses were so poor as to exclude the assumption that the bodies belonged to the owners of the subtitle house. They must therefore be the victim of a foundation sacrifice.
The section of the wall under which the burial occurs had been fenced off from the rest of the roof by three great stone slabs set on ice. On the walls, the burial surface is made triangular, unobstructed an attempt at an incursion; the latter no doubt referred to the burial, and must have be a sort of epitaph. The characters are slightly suggestive of Runic letters, the ancient Tudouro script, or Greek letters, but they know Runic script—provincially, and sell it in a new alphabet.
The human specimens, and the description in unknown lettering are new features at Skara Brae, first discovered by this year's explorations, although the general character of the bones known to specialists since 1867.
Inscription Found
The faux composing the village art built of undressed stone without the use of any mortar—a method of construction traceline in the Ischlade area. The workers thanked to the preservation action of the sand which has covered the site, the walls of these primitive but often standing even today to a light of ten feet or more. In them we can still see tiles, cupboards, cell and floor tiles, and some roofs the roofs have not arrived. It is true that the walls converge towards the top as if the whole structure had culminated in a beech vault, but this year's observations have shown that this solution of the coating problem for undressed stone will likewise historic villages. At the height of ten feet the walls of the complete building we discovered were still fifteen feet apart. If they had been completed to meet in a bethsheba done, the huts would have to have been raised on a reinforced mass of stones would inevitably have been found in the interior.
Cooking on the roof
But perhaps the most popular feature discovered at Skara la Buse is the inhabitants of the basus used to throw their kitchen refuse into the roofs of the streets that connected their dwelling. Sometimes they even camped upon those roofs themselves, lit their fire there and cooked them a meal in rough earth-ware pot.
Cooking on the Roof
It is very difficult as yet to give even an approximate date to this village. On the floor of the intact but opened this year we found a not race of mortal but finely-worked that implements, published stone axeheads, and tools made of wood, other tools made of the bones of domestic animals. The pottery was technically of the most primitive character. But there were some fragments with decorated patterns in relief, disclosing real artistic taste. Yet this curtitude of domestic earthenware was probably evidence of high antiquity as the use of vessels of more precious material. And, in fact, we found great
dishes and small drinking-cup mugs out of winebottles. In addition, we gathered an automobiling collection of vintage wines from the vineyard to wait for winey dogs, teeth and carved bone. The natural deduction from such a collection would be that the site idied to the New Stone III that is, to say, the Third millennium
on the other hand, during prehistoric less sceleton excavations, a stone-boring Rudite letters and the mound for an early Christian cemetery close to the archaeological site of the original occupation of the Settlement, they would prove that it was still inhabited in the sixth or seventh century of our era. And we must inform ourselves about the need for neolithic traditions into relatively recent times would be perfectly comprehensible. In the light of this year's explorations, we may also conclude from the epigraphic evidence that would settle the question once and for all.

MYTH TO MUSIC
Hip flaps, bagging corduroys, and profligate parties have too often been made typical of college life. The agencies for this propagation of a false picture have been many and varied. But the agency battles not. The picture has been painted, and that picture has been shared, and the coincidence of many observers.
Crooning orchestras and bardensome hip packets have played a chief role in the caricature that has been configured of the modern college students. Prodigious debts and heart-breaking parents have been but two other attributes that the artist has dabbed with worn-out brush.
In the audience at the Galli-Curci
excert, Wednesday night, there was an apprecible number of students.
One third of the audience was composed of those who that same day had been in class rooms.
And to think that the blaze college student, as he has been conjured, would attend a concert of the band will be a problem. The Columba Worship night!
Students are not the disengaging citizens they are so often accused of being. The attendance at the Gallu Concert stands as one valuable criterion that the American college student is not fulfilling the prophecy of the brilliant magazine and screenland.
Pearce-seeking that has been expanded as ending in disaster, moral and physicall, has been directed to the form which unifies, enlightens and enhances the individual in his appreciation for the finer things of life. Galli-Curci represented one of those finer things.

OVER IN KANSU
The province of Kano, which is a little larger than Kansas and is not to be confused with our state, is on the western or desert side of the Chinese nation. Its Moslem population has been there a long while and has always been making trouble for the Chinese who worship Buddha.
The report comes from China that the Mohems in the province of Kunjie have measured about 200,000 people of the pliha Chinese variety.
Unless history fails to report itself this massacre will be followed by a counter massacre and there will be fewer Moderns in Kawa by means.
They are immigrants from western Asia who brought their religion with them and settled in China hundreds of years ago. These are some of the country except for religion, their harbors with Chinese wives, and now have slant eyes and yellow complexions to match the original Chinese among whom they lived.
