THE ROCK CHALK
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 23 1928
K. U's Rock Chalk吼 is nationally famous. Numerous small schools have attempted to copy it. At the game at Manhattan we gave it like a bunch of high school students. No attention was paid the leader. He might as well have not been there for all the following he received. It was a pepples bunch. Half the students did not even know the other yells or were not interested. What the team accomplished was the result of its own merit and not through any backing of the crowd. Everyone stood as if made of stone and not until the last few minutes of play did anyone begin to revive.
What's the matter with us? Have we no school spirit, no loyalty? Only a few even stayed long enough to sing the Alma Mater. Is that the best we can do?
RADIO WINS
Just the other day the Kansas City School board, not without argument, voted to allow schools equipped with radios to tune in on a special New York Symphony series. In doing so the board approved of a movement which seems to be sweeping America generally.
Everyday new uses are made of the radio. It has become an indispensable part of modern air and ocean navigation. Commander Byrd has his exploring expedition equipped with elaborate radio apparatus. The Graf Zeppelin made use of it communicating with the world during its hazardous flight. Now the school children are to be allowed to tune in for a musical series which otherwise might be unattainable for them.
Radio became of practical importance well within the memory of the present student body, most of whom remember the thrill that came from tuning in on their first radio concert. Improved broadcasting and receiving methods, as well as lowered costs of production have put the radio within the reach of the average purse. Some feel that it has been a means of broadening the individual outlook as well as providing entertainment.
BUSINESS OF BEING BUSY
Special courses in the art of keeping buny profitably are much needed in the modern college. Such courses would make it possible to do away with some of the drones of the hive who keep buny doing nothing.
Experience has proved that it is the busy person who finds time and energy to do something more. Consequently only a few do most of the work and the rest lounge on the sidelines and make caustic comments about the workers. Because the busy person is alive and interested he accomplishes the things he sets out to do. On the other hand, the inactive person is unable to snap into step and put things through. He is a poor manager of his time and energy.
Some of the drones complain that only a few people get to participate in most of the college activities. In view of the attitude of least resistance, which most college men and women have, one may answer that complaint. Leadership requires active attention
and interest. It insists on attention to the thing at hand, regardless of the inclination of the individual.
FORTY-NINE YEARS AGO
forty-nine years ago sunny Thomas A. Edison announced that his incandescent lamp was completed and that it would work. His many hours of tedious work had produced something which, even then, he realized "would develop into great control stations in many cities, supplying electric current for large numbers of 'moderate lamps.'"
Sunday the "wizard" of America was recognized for this achievement when the Congressional gold medal was presented to him by Andrew McLon, secretary of the treasury. It was the first official recognition recorded him by the United States. On this same occasion the British government returned the first model made by him of the photograph, which has been on exhibition in London for 45 years.
The story of the incendence lamp invention is an interesting one. Experiment after experiment had failed in 1870 and skeptics and critics said it couldn't be done, but Edison kept at his task until he had created the vacuum inside the bulb and had introduced the thread-like wire which glowed when the electric current was turned on, then started his test. After the watch of 40 hours and the wire glowed no more, Mr. Edison said, "That's fine boys, fine." If the lamp will burn 40 hours now, I know I can make it a hundred." Before many months had passed he made it burn a thousand. And today the nation's electric light and power business is capitalized at six billion dollars.
Americs is fortunate in claiming such a man as a citizen and the honor bestowed on him Sunday is only a slight part of what he rightfully deserves. It was given in a grateful spirit from the hearts of these connected with the government and represents well that same spirit from every individual who knows of the "Hero of Light."
BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Dr. Manteloff Robinson, a London physician, declares that he has made a visit to Mars and plans to attempt to establish direct communication by radio with our planetary neighbor. He says further that his 'etherbody' has traveled the 35,000,000 miles to Mars in four minutes. He describes the inhabitants of Mars and appears to be deeply engrossed in his discoveries.
This is not the first time Doctor Robinson has been before the public. In 1926 he sent a message to Mars and the letter 'M' was purported to have been picked up by radio operators in reply. All this palver about converting with Mars has aroused considerable interest in England and America. Thousands have evinced belief in Doctor Robinson's supposed discoveries, while others are frankly skeptical—and rightly so.
Apparently the Aggies got the worst of it all around this year. First, one of the early morning invaders received an unwanted haircut then K. U. takes the longest end of the football score.
It's not peculiar how all these political forecasters who were so sure about how each state was going to vote are saying that everything is confused and in a mess, as the election day draws near.
If you can find yourself in the picture of the entire student body you have a good enough "eye" to play basketball.
A woman in Marquand, Mo., rode on a train the other day for the first time. She is 82 years old. Probably she thought she was leading a fast life.

Editor Daily Kansan:
An article entitled, "How They Will Vote," in which two hundred outstanding Americans declare their preference for a new presidential campaign, was published in the late issue of The New Republic. The editors point out that while business leaders largely favor Hoover, they favor the Democratic nominees.
Such a conclusion is decidedly complimentary to Governor Alfred E. Smith. That thinking individuals who are not biased by private interest, but rather by the state or national smith in November is a tribute to the reforms for which he stands and recognition of the fact that such reforms are needed. It is only to show that the states can look for religious and racial freedom in America—A. S.

Modals should be given cohesive voice and Maxwell halls, because it is no ordeal requiring much self-compromise. It would be only fair if some of the Laws and Males were made to fall in line and pass in review before two or three months' about a half dozen times a day.
Rush week is often spoken of as a huge joke and a force. As a matter of fact, it is anything but a joke—it is nothing short of a tragedy. The whole system is vicious and not only tends to, but usually does, overshadow the fundamental things in college life.

It seems to us that a dorsitory system for all freshmen, with sophomore pledging by the fraternities, would rationalize the present attitude toward fraternity membership in many fraternity members. Why? Because it might subordinate fraternity

it is almost time to take stock—to list our inventories so that we may know what we have acornished during the year—not that discovering our faults and failures will remedy them, but that we may be prepared to avoid them next year. Most of us will have a list of things in our inventions—things that should be on the junk pile.-Butter Calpier.
We believe the repents could take such a program to the legislature with every assurance of its successful passage. It is a move in the right direction for a greater University and a program worth fighting for.

THE BRITISH "UNEMPLOYED"
1113 Mass
The problem of "unemployment" which is the chief concern of British economists and the great worry British politicians is in my opinion based almost entirely upon a public fact. There are too many people in Great Britain. If Britain could have been infinitely postponed, but one of the underlying causes of the World War was the competition of trade and possible bankruptcy. The British, having won the war, should have theoretically been able to enjoy and enjoyed the prosperity by supplying the wonts and needs of the world. The Germans were out of it for several years. But unfortunately for the British there was a new rival. The United States had stopped in and taken away much of the world trade goods from German factories capable of high production but only naturally required to meet a small demand.
More than a million British workmen were thrown out of jobs because the industries in which they were engaged could no longer be sustained even after the many efforts on the part of the government and the capitalists of Great Britain the number of unemployed has increased rather than decreased. The result has been lower wages and a depressed public morale.
Recently a sensible effort has been made to reduce the number of unemployed. Instead of paying them to keep out of work ten thousands were induced to go to Canada and many of those immigrants went to raisng and wheat forming and their lines of industries in which they

and a chance and to which they could contribute to the prosperity of Britain instead of being a drug on it. Some of these Britishness soon required Canadian citizenship and then were able to cross the border to the United States and get into a real country. Whether they stayed in Canada or moved to America? they at least did something toward relieving the pressure of the surplus of labor in Great Britain—Hutchinson News.

NOVEMBER alone here. Old Man Winter with his frosty whisker is in around the corner.
It's the season when a man begins to think seriously about various forms of insulation against "not there," cold waves, blizzards, etc.
We have a lot of suggestions that you should know about. New ideas in cold weather apparel. New muffins in just the right pattern—very vivid; gloves in new shading; and for those who incline toward more substantial under apparel at this time of year—we have that too. A new hat may be in order—as a change from the one you're wearing for Fall.
Finally, and most important,
you'll want one of the new Society

them over. We'll enjoy telling
