BACK HOME
"Old Jesus" has gone home again probably for the last time. He hadn't been away long, hardly four months evidently he couldn't stand it to re main away any longer. So "Old Jesus" has gone back to the Kansas penitentiary under a sentence of one to ten years. This time a bad check was his prison entrance check.
"Old Joe's has lived in prison moss of the time since 1884. He has not had to worry about keeping his job and feeding the wife and kids. He has had no house rent to pay. He has worried with no doctor bills. And although he will leave no family to mourn at his death, he likewise will leave no children to a life of poverty and struggle.
Yes, "Old Jesus" has probably had the best of it, after all; if his life be compared with that of his friends of earlier years who have lived, nominally outside prison, but actually not much better off than slaves.
When "Old Jesus" entered prison for the first time at the age of 28 his friends were beginning the rearing of families. They had factory jobs which paid enough to provide a place to live, something for the little mouths to eat, and cheap clothes to wear. There were high hopes in those homes of the young—hopes of better jobs, higher wages, and luxuries in the days to come. For most of them those days are yet to come.
"Old Jesus" has had nourishing food, so that he could be in fit condition to work. His friends also have had plain food, enough to maintain their bodies. He has worked ten hours a day in the prison factory. His friends have worked the same length of time each day in a private factory, often not as well equipped as the prison. He has had his Sundays off; so have they. He has undisturbed quiet to read and write in his off hours. His friends have had to worry about family events during their hours away from work and have little time for reading.
"Old Joe" has seen an occasional picture show. So have his former friends, but they have been disturbed in their enjoyment of the picture by the crying of babies and the thought that they have used their last dollar to take the family to the show. In prison they have baseball games once in n while. The favorite diversion of the factory boys outside the prison has been baseball, but they have not been able to go much because the good games come on work days.
Thus the comparison runs on through "Old Jesus" has the best of it all the way through. No wonder "Old Jesus" wants to go back home.
Wouldn't it be fun if some of the students would "Not Choose To Take Finals in 1928?"
ORSOLETE
Fighting as a business! Abhorrent thought! Shedding human blood for bread and butter! And yet—
The series of articles telling of the adventures of Bennett J. Doty, deserter from the French Foreign League, brings us face to face with the fact that the barbarous practice has been persecuted to the present day;
Love for country and a rise in arms
What small we remember when we are old?
What shall we remember even when we are wise?
Song BY MARIE OF L. WELCH
Sadly, sadly we shall remember
Love and love's mouth and love's eyes.
What shall we remember more beautifully
than Winter?
What shall we remember in our cold years? We shall remember, we shall remember Love and love's laughter and love's tears. What shall we remember when we are lost.
What shall we remember? What shall be
preserved?

We shall remember, forever, forever.
Love and love's stilt and love's sleeping.

or its defense is quite a different thing. There is nothing more beautiful than the sacrifice of a soldier for his fellow countrymen; giving life that others may live. But can you imagine a foreigner going into battle in that spirit?
The French Foreign Legion is composed of men from other countries who have entered the service for any thrill there may be in it. Theirs is not a patriotic motive. Theirs is not a determination to serve their native land. Theirs is not the righting of wrongs committed against fellow patriot.
What then can we say in defense of such an organization? Is it justified when viewed in the light of modern civilization?
Bennett J. Doty thought not. The sight of human sacrifice and carnage sickened him. The endless slaughter and butcher was repelling; so repelling that he did the act most disgraced in soldierdom. He deserted. Fear? No, this man had won the biggest French reward for meritorious service, and yet he followed the course which almost brought disgraced death.
What shall we as Americans hold of such a man, we who most characteristically hate the "quitter?" In answer to that it must be remembered that we also characteristically love peace. In time of defense we flaunt our weapons most furiously. We prefer, however, to smoke the pipe of fellowship.
As a result we experience a most vehement struggle between our dual personalities. We can not say that Doty did right. We will not say that he did wrong. We do say, however, that such mercenary organizations as the Foreign Legion should be done away with. And as we survey our land so broad and fair we thank God that our flag is being defended by American blood, and not by foreign adventurers.

in a number of yells. Those who try to be wazzed and jeered. Why? Just because it is human nature to make fun of anyone who is trying to do something.
The position of cheerleader is an important one. He is something more than a white-flaunted rab rah bah. He is an important factor in the spirit and vim of an athletic contest. He must have personality and leading ability enough to hold the interest of 'he rooting section.
Years ago, the cheerleading office was elective. It was a matter of Black Mask or Pachacanac. It was a matter of the most popular candidate or the strongest party. In recent years an attempt has been made to find the most worthy man for the position.
Prospective cheerleaders will be audited tonight by the applause they receive from the audience. Be fair, tell as well as you can with each aider and then give your handclaps $\textcircled{1}$ the one you think deserves the position.
Herbert Coroy implies in an article in the Kansas City Star that New York is a city of lonesome girls. If he only had to sit at home on Saturday night and watch the rest of the crowd start off to the variety, New York hasn't a thing on Lawrence.

ENGLISH MAJORS:
Campus Opinion items have been much too long also. The Kansan prefers that they be short and more pointed. They will be much more effective if the authors would limit themselves to a comparatively small number of words.
At Kansas one never hears the statement, "Oh, I wish I could reduce. Just look at me! I simply got to eat! There's never a word mentioned about reducing at Kansas University. In fact, every maiden who graces Mt. Oread longs to be plump—yeah, even to be fat!

THE CAMPUS OPINION COLUMN
W. S. JOHNSON, Chairman Department of English.
The Campus Opinion Column in the University Daily Kansan is a medium for the students of the University to express their beliefs, grudges, problems, and griefs. It is conducted primarily for the students if they wish to use it.
How strange it does seem that the Arizonais could have cultivated such a taste for lightweights. Here at Kansas the slender damselflies are the ones who sit by themselves those moonlight evenings gazing wistfully into the heavens.
The Kansan, however, must govern,
in a certain extent, what is printed
in its columns regardless of the heading
under which the item appears.
The Kansan must insist that each
contribution be signed. If the opinion
is used, only the initials will be

Curbstone Aviation
One Harry Daniel has recently made a valuable contribution to the science of curbstone aviation. Among the rules he offers for the heel-and-toe tourist who bad to depend on his original methods of getting hurt are:
1. In case a student is knocked down and killed he must report the number of driver's license tag and the names of three witnesses to the three witnesses within a padded room.
2. After the traffic officer (if any) has blown his whistle or signaled with his arm, the pedestrian has the right of way until hit.
3. Students taking off from the curb of Sheridan on a non-stair flight to the campus should carry a brief packet with identification and chicken sandwich. If accompanied by a brief case, fires should be positioned broadcast at regular intervals.

4. A down count does not count unless touch the pedestrian's shoulder to touch the ground. Every pedestrian is allowed as many downs as his health will permit, proctored by a licensed person rights and privileges of some other pedestrian who is trying to get hurt.

Variety"—Barbed Wire" starring
John Negri in an intense drama of the
World War.
In this film Pola Negri does some of the most effective emotional work of her career, and it is the human appeal in it that is necessary for the proper interpretation of her work.
Clive Brooks does his usual pupil and effective acting while at the same time putting in the emotional stress required of his part.
Barbred Wife is a story of the facility of war and the hatred which causes it. It differs from the usual stories of women, in that which is usually prevalent is supplanted by human emotion and the suffering arising from the results of war.
The story concerns the love of a French peasant girl upon which farm the military government has established a German prison camp, for a German prisoner of war who returns her love and goes through the hardships arising from the prejudice and hatred of the two warring sides.
The film as a whole is very effective, well seted, feasible and with a great amount of truth and realism contained in it.

The play was presented earlier in the year in picture form and this version, with an all-blee coat bended by Billy Jance Meredith and Edward Shaw. It is of credit to the association that made it a showcase show to Lawrence of the season and it is only reprotable that such work has been displayed at an earlier time.

The friends around which the story is woven are angled around two characters, Chilo and Diane, from the streets of the haunt of wanted laurent hearing. Chilo's ambition and Diane's desire to meet someone that is simple, but unifying in effect.

MOUNTAINS blocked the trail of the pioneers who opened up the far west. But that impelling urge of the true pioneer — to explore and know the country beyond — spurred them to surmount these barriers.
