AMBITION
Ambition for a college education prompted a Texas youth to ride a bicycle twenty-two miles daily to school for six years, during which time he was a straight “A” student. Undoubtedly, this youth knows whether he is bound and undoubtedly he will reach his goal. He is one of the few who realize why and how he is in college and his steadfast efforts are to be commended.
Most of us accept a university training as a matter of course; we know neither why nor how it is that we are enrolled in an institution such as the University of Kansas. To most of us it is simply the thing to do; we live gracefully and easily, extending the least amount of effort possible. Unlike the Texas boy only a few of our charch is desire that is strong to call forth our greatest efforts. As university men and women are we to be commended?
NIGHT NOISES
Noises in the sight are typical of a college town. Serenaders are a tradition, and the voices of the singers bring a thrill to every feminine heart. All this is collegiate "atmosphere". But it appears that certain groups have abused these traditions.
The fraternity serendale is very desirable, but the prologue and epilogue are to be deplored. When a houseful of men rushes out of doors, in imitation of a cattle stumpede, and start their various conveyances to the accompaniment of much tooting of horns and shouting, the effect is that of bedlam let loose. The serendale is apolied for a great many people by this heiresses and unnecessary noise.
Doubtless, the thought has not even occurred to these happy undergraduates that they are causing a disbalance. Perhaps if their attention is called to it, the result will be more peace and harmony throughout the night, more rest for those in adjourning homes who are trying to sleep, and better grades for those who are trying to study. It will certainly be conducive to more amable thoughts concerning the serendrons.
MAY THE TWAIN MEET
There is no better way of making friends than by becoming acquainted with those you think you dislike. Many have tried the scheme and will testify to its merit. Americans seem to have an aversion to foreign visitors except those who have titles, and often do what they can to make life miserable and lonely for them.
We welcome the foreign students on this campus and wish that more of the student body would treat them with wholesome respect. Those few representatives that are going through American educational institutions are the "cream of the crop". They are eager to acquire American education, managers and language. They will be best able to achieve that when we make efforts to meet and become acquainted with them. You will not find them to be merely ignorant persons but cultivated gentlemen. Put yourself in their position and think how you would wish to be treated.
YOUNG BLOOD
The annual Red Cross roll call scheduled among the colleges and universities Nov. 11 to 29 will offer
an opportunity for service to one's fellowman. With the Porto Rico and Florida disasters draining its treasury, the Red Cross is fully justified in asking the co-operation of students, who within five years will be located in some community and taking part in its activities. The fees paid for membership last year by thousands of students have helped approvably in the work of the Red Cross.
The Porto Rio and Florida diaries are only two of more than 60 emergencies that enabled forth the service of the Red Cross in different parts of the country this year. The organization needs the interest of the youth of the country, not only in the work, actually carried on, but in contributions made to its maintenance and operation. By asking K. U. men and women to enroll in the yearly driver's leaders hope to devise interest that will last after the student is graduated. Start saving a few nickels and dimes now, in order to enlist in one of the most humanitarian organizations of America.
OUR WELL DRESSED MEN
Why K. U. students must wear their Sunday "go to meetin'" best to classes upon the Hill day in and day out is a question bewildering to upperclassmen and freshmen alike. The new men, accustomed to simple scholastic garb in their preparatory schools are surprised to find surrational apperont a necessity at K. U. The older men also look with winnerring eyes on this expensive folklore, but none has the courage to inaugurate a simpler movement. The average student does his knickers occasionally, slips on his aventurer or leather jacket once or twice a week, and then falls back on his full suit for the remainder of the time.
Students in other universities in the middle west are not guilty of this foliage. Generally speaking, they wear curdurry pants, sweaters, and leather jackets almost exclusively to chase. Thus they save their good clothes, their money, and are probably more comfortable in the bargain.
Here is a day's politics in a nut shell, as indicated by the crossline on the front page of a prominent newspaper Turtles Talks in Chicago. A Smith Co. inmate Turps Up, However Sees Coolidge, and Robinson Gose to Circus.

He the Delemarista this means that he is a foe of organized labor, a blood-sucking tyrann, a man who pinches prunes at the expense of this business and can only see in it evidence of his sound business ability and further proof that he will carry on the Coachee program of economy.

Our Contemporaries
At least once every year, it becomes very evident to the thinking stratum of the fraternity element that deferred pledging, or second semester rushing, would be a good thing—narratively for the freshmen.
DEFER THE PLEDGING
Practically all of the houses—except those of course who depend on "sand-hagging" methods to secure their pledges—are agreed that some students will be forced to deliver the pledged until December 1 has been advocated; second semester pledging has frequently been suggested; and some have gone as far as to advocate no pledging until the beginning of the sophomore year. So far the movement has been slow, and there has been little discussion, but has been wholly lacking in action. Originally the change was advocated only by students. Then the students finally got up the necessary ambition or nerve, or both, to consult administration leaders. Approval of the administration was difficult, and students were trying to put it over against the will of the students. Nothing could have been farther from the truth.
Now the matter stands—stands, that's all. Leading individual students and the leading fraternity groups have expressed their approval. The

The leadership of the student body lies largely in the bands of the senior class. Other graduating classes have failed to put across this much pressure by their pleading system. Will 1922 do any better? The class has succeeded in other difficult enterprises and can, with determination, accomplish this.

OVERCROWDED
Recent letters from the educational department advising graduating students to obtain their education credits that they might teach next year quote portions of an editorial printed in the Eagle last summer.
"This summer in Kansas there were 12,500 teachers seeking places in the '7,000 rural schools of the state,' the report says. Many school boards are cutting salaries in some places as much as $15 a month," according to the article. It is easy to see the "injunctia" to the folks who are making teaching a life lesson.
it as it stands before such a cut, a teacher's salary is too low. The teachers engaged permanently in the profession can not rely upon school boards for relief. Oft times in award ceremonies the lowest bid is considered.
*"Relief must come from the schools which year by year are pointing new blood into the profession," the Anglesman said. "Of these schools really plan to engage in teaching permanency. Others merely book to the professors as an easy step into something else." It would be difficult for the professionals.
For this reason it would seem better that the facts of over-enrollment he laid before the students and those who do not plan to enter the game as a n life work be urged to specialize in some other line.
Many other phases of activity are yet uncovered for which the student can be trained. To quote the Keng again, "And it will be fairer both to the student and the teacher if they can be precluded upon to see R."—Kansas State College.
Hats Off! Tradition's Passing By
Another borey Minnesota tradition has just been resurrected from the maze of the past! Posters proclaim "The Truth About Smoking" or "Minnies Men Do Not Smoke or Wear Hats" in the "postered" buildings. Tradition must be preserved. That is the plen. Peculiar as it may seem, every "well regulated" college must have its narrative of at least, even if it be created over night. Not questioning for the moment the history of smoking perhaps it may be well to examine this august tradition's efficacy.
This newly-born tradition ordinance if carried to the end will surely result in increased patronage of the health department through the corridors particularly in Bowell Hall male students will be catching cold on account of unshored heads. Shimmering Stetsons will be bashed in the congested areas. Winds whipping through corridors will toss similely combed hair into the wind, and there. Racking coughs will resound through halls. All this will inevitably happen. The accruing finger is pointed at the "infant tradition." If traditions continue to be instituted why not have placards posted along hall entrances? Do men Do Not Powder Noses In This Building?" Then again if the ban is placed on student automobiles signs could be erected to announce the "lattest thing" in tradition, "Minnesota Students Do Not Motor In This Campus." Just as we must have "schuhe" to wear our tradition—Mindanao Daily
"Inside Stuff"
Various times for the settlement of the Kenyan's service to the IHR, from both within Kenya and abroad, have from time to time as various resumes.
In addition, this department will endeavor whenever possible to improve the Kanman's handling of Hill news by informing readers, who are also often news sources, about the best methods of getting material published correctly in the paper. Though a heavily laden consciousness tells us that the fault is usually ours, there are cases where a better understanding of the media service itself setters service both to readers and to news sources.
Under this heading, from time to time as occasion requires, will appear "beg pardon" parties. In order to be caused by the emulsion or incineration of student newmanagers workers.
The Kanan is primarily a community newspaper; its community the hill. It tries to be a medium of communication between the various departments and divisions of the University's population. To be a complete channel of communication is impossible but we intend to do our act. Any advice or criticized addressed to this department will be heartily welcomed. It is hard for a newspaperman to read the paper as much as it can, so the editor is too compressed in technical problems. For that reason you readers who have ideas are invited to pitch in and help.
A good newspaper must be based on an intelligent community interest in the newspaper. We are doing our work here. You can help us if you will.

SCHOLARS' HOME TOWNS
**SCHOOLCAS, HOME TOWS**
In post-secondary schools in the senior class Yale University follows the enlightening practice of running the community from which each one hails. Local pride may not take as much interest in the resulting scores as it does in running the ball teams, but we think that any city with a good representation on the scholars'局 has reason to congratulate itself. New York City, including Brooklyn, five places among the twenty-six and two more go to within the city's suburban zone.
With a score of seven New York and environs just wins over the State of Connecticut, which has indeed a much smaller number of inhabitants but which sends a great many boys to its own big university at New Haven. In this competition the budding intellects of the Natutng State might be compared with those of the students and to use their concentrated force, while the New Yorkers compete for scholarship honors in a good many colleges.
Leaving aside the Big City and the Home State, one may observe with some profit that Main Street quite severely dragged the larger cities. Places of less than fifty thousand inhabitants may boast of putting eight million in the cities that form New York only Parish县, Denver, Indianapolis and Washington succeeding in scoring. Except for New York and Washington, not a city of half a million of population gained a place. Since nearly one-

**ANNAS, HEALTHIEST STATE**
Do you know that Kannas is the healthiest state in the Union? I is so. The life insurance companies keep careful statistics from which they determine their possible policy holders. It is of vital importance to the company that their tables be accurate, and these tables show that life expectancy is greatest in Kannas. In Kannas the average life expectancy is reported to live 59.82 years, while a girl may anticipate 120 years more or 61.02 years. The nearest approach to this for the boy is in Wisconsin where he may anticipate 68.41 years of life. A girl can expect only 69.73 years. Both for men and women Kannas heads the list. The average life expectancy in the United States is for males 55.28 and for females 57.92 Kannas, therefore, gives 4.43 years of life. In Florida, for girls her girls. This difference is due, not doubted, to the more temperate lives of Kannas and to the higher altitude, which is not to high. Kannas is located in the very center of the country, and that appears also to be the center of health—Lawsonville Times.
BOOZE AT COLLEGES
Several college and university presidents have complained that reports of boozing at the students at their schools are misleading or exaggerated. Probably that is true.
The opening of the football season together with the fact that the lapor issue is being emphasized in the national political campaign, has served to bring to the front again the question of drinking at colleges.
The difficulty is that students do their drinking at such unfortunate times. Most of the time sobriety is in the saddle at our colleges and universities. But several times a year, following same major football game, or other all-school celebration, there is a grand invariability. Invariably it happens when the outside world is at hard to look on. Sometimes it seems like there are few times we were trained with nice precision to get the utmost indefavorable nuclicity.
It Will Pay You
Another thing? Alumni usually have a very active part in these drinking parties. And they are vastly outnumbered by the universityites. If alumni could be met at the gates of the college or university city and stripped of their bottles, a considerable portion of the college boasts that he solved "Arkansas City Traveler."
