A THING BEGUN
Delegates from all the organizations on the Hill met the other afternoon to discuss the completion of the Union building. The delegates were representative students. They were in favor of completion through student support. '
Opinions differed as to the means of raising the necessary money. A committee was authorized to study various plans and to report back which in their opinion was most expedient.
The beginning has been made.
WANTED—ONE NAME
A picture of three students who are running for president, and are good friends appeared in the Sunday paper. Although we hate to seem passive, we do not expect to see the picture and caption next November.
Isn't that a quint name—new Auditorium?
Some day all the newness is bound to wear off. Will it still be the new Auditorium? Or will it become the Almost New Auditorium? It is even possible that some day it will be known as the Old Auditorium or even the Older Auditorium.
We, with thousands of others, were at the dedicatory services of the intet campus addition. In vain we waited for the announcement of it same. We are still waiting.
Perhaps the Jay James would allow the use of their red ballot boxes for a suitable contest.
A season ticket to the concerts in the ___ Auditorium should prove a highly salable commodity. Won't some ingenious junior who is looking ahead to next fall's prospects take line out to snatch the flooring word.
Mussolini says that Washington was the greatest American. If Washington was living today, would he return the compliment and class Mussolini as the greatest Italian?
THE DOAN OWL HOOTS
The first semester has passed into history! How rapidly we are approaching that momentous time of year when freshmen become sophomores, sophomores become juniors, seniors become seniors, and seniors become perfectly niceless to the world at large.
The season of Lent bus begun.
Services were held in various churches of the city last evening in commemoration of Ash Wednesday, the opening day of the season.
Lent means many and various things. To some it means a more anniversary of an historical occasion; to others, weeks of fasting and self denial; and to still others, merely renewed consecration.
The latter aspect was admirably expressed by a local minister recently when he said:
"The church does not demand that you give up anything during Lent. The season is one of voluntary concentration upon spiritual things. We will give up certain things not because they are necessarily evil in themselves, but because they detract from our concentration when our minds are fixed on Jesus."

"A man who is a jackman before election day will bray every day thereafter," declared Jon Reed at Topека yesterday. Another Reedism, portent, entertaining and truthful.
The Midwest Student Conference to be held at the University Feb. 25 and 25 is one well worth the time which will be given to it.
THE MIDWEST CONFERENCE
The sole purpose of the meeting is the promotion of education through discussion, and it has as its general topic "The Student and the Economic Order." Set speeches have been avoided as far as possible and the discussion plan is to be used instead. Every student should plan to attend some of the meetings of the conference. The debate Friday evening between Paul Hammard, field secretary for the League for Industrial Democracy and W. L. Huggins, judge of the former Kamen Court of Industrial Relations and later counsel for the League for Industrial Rights, will be especially interesting and earthly.
A student-planned and student-reported conference such as this holds great possibilities of value for the college student. It provides unusual opportunity for discussion of present day problems.

THE WASHINGTON WE
HONOR
Although for nearly two hundred years the people of this nation have held in esteem the cherry tree fable of George Washington fame, the modern trend is to label the story a fable and to prove that George Washington was too human to have been so far removed from the art of telling falsehoods.
Great men and the traditions which have followed them have always been the cause for much discussion and criticism. Thus the first president of the United States has received and is receiving his portion of such comment.
One of the most recent press articles further brings Washington before the eyes of the public by saying that although he may be called the first in the hearts of his countrymen, he was not first in the hearts of his countrywomen. An explicit account of the trials and tribulations of the great patriot and his romantic aspirations is given.
Makes You Expect Good Pictures
But despite all of the rumor, despite the evidences that the traditions we hold so dear, have been branded as false, it will take many centuries

Vol. IX Thursday, 23 February, 1928 No. 116
--to craze the morn of esthetics which we have for George Washington. The man he honour is not the boy of cherry tree fame nor the unsuccessful lover, but the man who led his country in a great war, who lived through the torrors of a winter's encounter at Valley Forge; the praying general, and the successful first executive of our nation.
BERNARD BLOCH, Chancellor.

Mr. Kendall, traveling secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement, will talk at a cafeteria luncheon, Saturday, Feb. 25, at 12:30. All interested are invited to come. KATHERINE SUTTON, Secretary.
And what an adventure it was to peel one of them! No flaminate and few animate things have the personality of an union. The crinkly, dingy cover, perhaps a little dirt, used to come off easily; then we had a little trouble getting the second layer off
We can remember the bushel basket full of big white onions that used to sit inside the cellar door, a little to the left. Sweet and bulbous they were, reddent with joy and youth. What a feast we used to have with a big onion and a big slice of homemade bread with butter. Of course a little salt always helped—but it was not essential.
There will be a meeting of the department of English on Monday, Feb.

The regular meeting of the Snow Zoology Club will be held Thursday, Feb. 23, at 5:30 p.m. in room 301 snow hall. The speaker of the evening will be Prof. W. C. Stevens of the botany department. There will also be an election of new members. Lists of candidates may be turned in to Meredith Olinger, chairman of the membership committee, any time before he be meeting.

The Kenyan maintains that it is a reasonable jumper plodding along, doing the best it can, but when we heard that Jack Harrison of the Climate Tribune had refused to make war on the union, we immediately bought a great white Bermuda, wrapped it in a copy of the Kenyan and sent it by air mail to Harrison as a pledge of our support.

So we feel that our ideals are a strike; we have made our pledge, and if worse should come to the worst we say with the modern poet:

OFFICIAL TASTERS
By an overwhelming vote, the house refused to prohibit the adulteration of industrial alcohol with poisonous drugs, and so with the upraising of a hand (so to speak) created throughout this broad land a new position—that of "official master." The defense must have been engineered by an efficient expert, for it is a feat to put on the market a product that can be sold at a minimum of overhead expense and at the same time increase many times the expenses of competitors.
But that was accomplished. The government frankly acknowledged its product to be-poison, but every bottle of "pre-war" stuff sold by the government's competitors is supposed to be fit to drink.
But how is the buver to know whether it is? Either he will have to buy it at his own risk, or else he will have to see it tested. And here is where the new position comes in. Every bootlegger will have to an official tacitter—or perhaps a corps of them for cases of emergency. All of this means added overhead and increased urges.
Yes sir! One has to hand it to the government.

If the device proves a urease, semiflames and ringing bells at railroad crossings will sown be rephased by "iron policemen." When the train bits a certain spot this "policeman" automatically throws his hoses us and down until the train hits another spot on the other side which stops the (1...) motor included in the iron figures. Two bright eyes and illuminated feet make it impossible for the motor-let to miss it.
At the risk of playing politics we will state that we feel that the person who fed the cheers Saturday evening has the muking of an A-number one cheerleader in him.
Times may change, but hot biscuits tinkle the palate forever. At a Democratic county convention in Missouri a bent argument developed upon the question whether Mr. Kincaid or Mrs. Kincaid should be sent as a delegate to the state convention. The deadlock continued until Mrs. Kincaid threatened that she would bake no more biscuits for her husband if he was chosen. More man yielded.
A contribution box invented recently is so contrived that a bell rings whenever a penny is dropped into it. All other coins fall on a felt cushion. Now the next thing we are wishing for is a device which will deal similarly with the penny language of the average conversationist.
