TUESDAY, JANUARY 31, 1928 MOTHER O' MINE Have you ever known her? Have you ever known of a mother who, gazing fondly into the sleeping face of her darling baby boy, would entertain if but for a moment the ominous thought that some day he might be a hardened criminal? Have you ever seen a mother who could even so much as imagine that the cool bit of innocence before her was destined for anything but a life of goodness and a career of service? Possibly the mother whose son has broken the laws of God and man still sees her erring one as she saw him them, long years ago, looking to her for protection. She answers the challenge. She does not waver. Her's is a loyalty which the rest of the world can not fathom. No matter how great the offense charged, her faith of crudle days is never shuttered. The last of friends may turn in scorn. The father may disown. The mother of others may still her cares. Yet nothing can convince this mother: of her boy's guilt. His own confession even can not estrange him from her embrace. And as he goes to his punishments, sent there by mountains of evidence which to the world means unmistakable proof, the little mother, standing alone, rights bravely to down the spark of doubt which her own reason would offer and is thankful that she has been privileged to hear a son who has shown that he knew how to die unfinkingly for the misdione of another. Kipling must have caught a glimpse of understanding when he wrote: "If I were damned of body and soul, I known whose prayers would come down to me still," Oh, Mother o' Mine." And adapting Harriet Beechen Stowe's words: "She will be praying, hoping, fearing for you; though all men deny you, yet will not she—but she will be always interceding with her own heart and with God for you, and making a thousand excuses where she can not deny. And if you死—uncomenciled to the God of your fathers, it will be in her heart to offer up her very soul for you, and to pray that God will impute all your sins on her and give you heaven." "Oh, Mother o' Mine." A paradoxical aspect of fate was demonstrated at Parsons, Kan, recently when six local railroad officials were injured when the superintendent's inspection car went over an embankment. The accident occurred while they were returning from a safety meeting held at Parsons. THE PROFESSOR RELAXES University professors, at least our own University professors, must be clad along with their students as mental defective. In their spare moments they bury their noses in numbers of "lower type," such as the Red Book Magazine, Hearsal's Compostitian, The Saturday Evening Post, Photoplay and Western Story, Shocking, isn't—this conclusion drawn from a recent survey of Lawrence news-stands? What hyphores these University professors must be, to sit before their classes day after day, posing an living examples of moral perfection. Think of the inner lives they must be leading, concealed behind masks of perfect righteousness and dignity. Somehow, though, the average student cannot bring himself to condemn them for their weakness in literary appreciation. Instructors are just as human as the students in their classes. They get just as tired of listening to front rows yell of "yes me" yoying continually and in unison as students do when they hear and endless series of dry lectures on statistics, and bright, but meaningless, phthalates. After all, it is much more efficient to invest a quarter in a magazine full of life dreams than to spend twice that amount on a single movie where only one love affair is properly seted in two solid hours. You can't blame a human being for being human. Four freshmen at the University of Arkansas could not tell who Charles Lindbergh was, in a quiz given them recently. "Lucky dog," mutters the reader of the daily papers who has had miles of Lindbergh publicity thrust upon him. One of four freshmen thought Lindbergh was the prime minister of Sweden during the 18th century, which reminds us of the Swedish visitor who upon landing in Gotham remarked, "Mein Gott, if this is New York what will Lindsberg be?" 99.44 PER CENT PURE At last religion is coming into its own. The church realizes the remarkable results obtained by commercial institutions from the use of the slogan for promotion purposes, so it has decided to adopt the same policy. A 47-day European tour is offered as a prize for the best soul-saving slogan, in the current issue of the American Lutheran, published in New York. Most commendable of all its worthy features is its democratic attitude in leaving the content open to everyone. From our own experience we know that the trip to Europe will be an incentive to the enthusiasm with which the contest will be entered. And we know that it is our church training, rather than our advertising courses which has inspired us to compete. We suggest the following: "9044 per cent, pure my soul be which, after much deliberation we have decided to submit. Although we feel that with our slogan we have eliminated the prospect of anyone else winning the trip, everyone should enter anyway for the good it will do for the cause. After the committee has definitely announced that our entry has taken first place, we shall be happy in the knowledge that we have done our bit to help save the world. "The popular game of African golf is seemingly not suitable for the Caucasian race, says Denniu in the race report. "I have caught with the goods on. If a person enjoys rolling the bones, either financially or for the entertainment they need, she rolls the skin, thicken the lips, and get that peculiar expression in the eyes, which only an inspired black boy can assume under the stress of the occasion. DOES A STUDENT THINK? The primary reason why a student goes to college, as he sees it, is to learn a bit of "things". It doesn't. You can't remember them after four years of rather creditible aftercopy and bookwork he manages to make fairly good grades, he is given a degree. All of which leads us to believe that Jess Denious is more or less of a realist. DOES A STUDENT THINK? It is possible for students to do this. The life of the average student is too easy going, too free from any conflict. And it is only by conflict and friction that one is made to think, as the word really means "think". The student believes firmly that he thinks for examination, thinks for the preparation, thinks during examination. But it is really copywork and imitation, giving back to the instructor what he has given to him. And after the examination, the student Regular rehearsal will be held Thursday, Feb. 2, at 4:30 in room 10 central administration building.

Kansas City boosters for the G. O.P.national convention presented eldon remembers what he has learned for any great length of time. There is a saying that a high school student learns to think, and a college students thinks to learn. If this were true there would be a greater amount of wisdom in the world and less more knowledge. And the question is still asked—do students think! Clad Thompson in Starburst teems of a reporter who was contained to his home with a cold contracted from going out without his spat the evening before. It may be a little early for second semester suggestions, but this looks like a dandy good gag to pull on some professor who has an absence marked up against us. quiries, has become of the old-fashioned man who let a friend wear his new shoes to break them in. He must have loved for that the ultratic motive involved, but we assure the gentleman from Altoona that he could with but difficulty find the genus house loitering about any fraternity home on the Hill. In earlier times students were more generally known as thinkers. If some one spoke of a student, he meant a person who worked on deep problems, one who had a great store of knowledge which he knew how to use. Now, when one speaks of a student, one means a dashing coed with a flairing collegiate kercbief around her neck, or a sharp-tongued youth with the latest slang at its tip. The mental picture of a student is a jumble of dates, variates, sorority and fraternity houses, formals, classes, quizbooks and flunks. the woman members of the national committee with flowers. Who can guess what they gave the men? What the Kansas Editors Say NORLESS ORIGE NOBLESSE OBLIGE Family pride — of what does it contain? A lice cap on the girl tired? A bed with a comforter? The ear? Probably. But let's decorate for a minute onto the story of a little country bank which went wilt out. And we are going on. On the head of this bank's stationery was the name of one Donald Muir, director. The bank wait in the red for three days before people of Anthony, Mr. Muir's home town. When the examiners had finished with it, they scraped up $800,000. We are depositing it to outstays. There remained $150,000 on the books, in long-time loans, notes and mortgages. Some of them have been lost. Previous to the crash, Donald Muir, director, had put up 800,000 of his own in an effort to save the bank. This was good business. After the crash, Muir and his staff were yarded by his property, bought in super at its face value and paid off his friends and neighbors of Anthony to the extent of 100 cents for every vehicle he owned, which carried on its stationery, the name of Donald Muir, director. Which, of course, is not good business. Perhaps it is family pride. It is obviously a different kind from the food covers we cover for the bridge table and a clean fork for the pie. Call it family pride or by whatever name you will, the dish should be patiently and obviously a god-gastor for family — Emmeria Gazette. WHO'LL WORK WITH HIS HANDS? The schools are turning out an un- limited number of bosses, managers and teachers, also salesmen, bookkeep- ers, clerks, etc. Meanwhile there is a shortage of people who will take their jobs and do work calling for muscle.
