TO THE LADY
Entered an second-class mail matter September 17, 1904, at the邮店 at Lawrence, Kanana, under the act of March 3, 1907.
MONDAY, JANUARY 2, 1928
Little Miss Leap Year 1928 canm passfooting into the calendar early Sunday morning, wearing twelve skirts and three hundred and sixty-six diamonds in her shoe buckles. There was quite a little cometion when she arrived and 1927 took it fairly gracefully, considering the fact that he was disappointed because she wasn't a boy.
He was in a big hurry, of course,
but he rushed up as soon as he saw
her coming into sight.
"I wish you luck," he said. "I've had a messy time of it myself, but you may get along. I don't consider any job for a lady, but then, Tea Pot Dome back to the government, the Oklahoma row quieted, and Lindbergh across the Atlantic and down into Mexico, and the new Ford out; maybe that will help.
"Don't blame me for that. Sacco Vansetti mix-up. You'll have to do something about that yet. And you ought to do something about this companion marriage business right away. The farmers are still crying for aid, but they've been doing that for several years. It would be nice to help them out, though.. You can think about it.
"The government has been wobbling on its foreign policy lately, but you can ask Will Rogers about that. Kansas has been having quite a time about her headquarters recently too, but then everybody laughs at Kansas but Kansas.
Miss 1928 seemed a bit overcome, but she sat down politely and crossed her fingers while we recited our resolutions. She looked regretfully at her shining arm, and wished with a number of other people that there was never a morning after New Year's Eve. As we watched, the outside skirt began to wrinkle and shrink a little, and one of the diamonds in her shoe buckle fell out and vanished. The new year was under way.
A COLLEGIAN THINKS
"Ive kept the Prince of Wales on his horse pretty well, but these Roumanians outguesed me. There are several other things I'd like to tell you; but I'm just about history now, so Goodbye. Who are you going to have for president next time?"
A COLLEEN does. Yes, the collegian does think. He thinks continuously. Notice his wrapt attention while in the class room. Notice the stare fixed upon his face throughout the hour from the beginning of the recitation to the final whistle. Watch him as he gazes steadfastly and intently—out the window, his mind a thousand miles away.
Notice the hidden smiles on the faces of college men as they greeted each other this morning? No! Not! Not Christmas engagements. Merely Christmas ties.
Perhaps, for an instant, his wandering attention may be caught by some remark of the instructor that disturbs his contented state of mind. Then how readily and how happily he arises to the defense of his principles. That his determined logic defies annihilation can be testified by his professor.
The collegian is uncompromising in argument. He will brook no interference. His point of view must be correct, for he has spent much time in reflection and has carried the logic of every possible point of view to its conclusion.
The class is over. The collegian hurries along. His head is bent, for he is thinking of weighty matters. See him as he strides swiftly along. Yes, he is thinking. Is he thinking of the next hour and the work to be done? Not on your life. His are thoughts of importance. He is thinking of the vacation to come so soon, of the basketball game, or of the fuss he had with Colleagues.
The school day is over, the collegian hurries to his room. He may even run a little as be nears his room. Hurriedly he dresses in clean clothing. But he is thinking as he bustles around-thinking of that "date" at seventh-thirty.
Midnight and the collegian is once more in his room. His mind is filled with a multitude of things. He pains for a moment. All that he has done—that should be done—fills before his mind. Wearly he turns to the bed for comfort.
Verily, the way of the collegiate thinker is hard.
Christmas isn't so far gone that students wouldn't appreciate a little of the spirit of giving when instructors the spirit of giving when instructors the semester grades out.
RESCUE
Two navy destroyers, three const guard craft and a dirigible have lately received permission to abandon search for Mrs. Grayson and her plane, the Dawn.
The novelty has all worn off the custom of getting out the navy to search for missing flyers. The fact that there are other and less expensive ways of committing suicide ought to be impressed upon adventure loving aviators and aviatrixes. This idea of brightening up a dull afternoon by starting on a transoceanic flight in spite of horse-sense and weather reports is being overdone. Some of these days Secretary Wilbur is going to get tired of going down to the dock and shoving off rescue boats, and when will these would-be Lindberghs be?
Colonel Lindbergh's successful hop has proved an example in daring that has been developed into foolhardiness by more heedless flyers. His lesson in common sense was evidently learned from his equally intrepid mother, who delayed her return flight from Mexico City on account of adverse weather reports. Mrs. Grayson flew in spite of the weather, which she knew to be unfavorable, but then, she probably und the navy in mind.
...
We think that the most conceived person in the world is the man who got three women's pictures for Christmas and admitted it.
A NEEDED IMPROVEMEN
A NEEDDLED IMPROVEMENT
The hundreds of students who use typewriters in all their preparation of class assignments find themselves handicapped when they go to Watson library to take notes from reserved books. Such books may be checked out of the library only on Saturday nights, and then they must be in at 8 o'clock Monday morning. This rule is necessary to insure that all of the persons who must read such books 'they shall be able to read them.'
The student who is accustomed to use a typewriter in taking notes, however, wastes precious hours laboriously copying in long hand the material that he could get in a fraction of the time if he could use his typewriter.
A room should be provided in the library close to the reserve room. There such students as carped to do so could bring their typewriters and take notes on reserved books. The separate room would avert any disturbance of others by the noose, and would be a blessing to those who must economize on time.
Thak goodness, Kansas is out of the mud now, and in so doing the state exceeded the most extravagant expectations of the Kansas City Star.
Do your shopping early. Only 357 days until Christmas.
The senior meeting which was to have been held Tuesday, Jan. 2, has
been delayed until April 4 at 4:39 p.m. of the central Administration building.

Universities and the Divine Question
Divorce is a problem. That is to say, it is recognized in American social welfare circles, as a problem Therefore it merits immunarable re-education, magazine articles speeches and so forth. It also often opens an honored place in most conference groups.
It is rather a pity that it is reco-
gulated to so much being written and spoken by it by men and women who know very little about it. The tastes are
If the thousandth part of this cluster involved suggestions for a remedy, it would be called a trial. It. But it usually consists in detailed statistics of statistician, and lead statisticians in doing the same.
The only ways open do reformers are law and education. If they produce laws that cannot accept they are ahead of their time, and their lives will be broken. Divorces will then come in favor of the man who was wrong and agreed with and accorded to, then the majority must have improved in the marriage, so the law would correctly be necessary.
The only way to prevent divorce is to keep married. When intimate friends of ours, or even close acquaintances dissolve marriage ties with impunity, and run headlong into a bitterness imperialized, we shall address this problem. Our divorce is not fashionable, and it is too expensive to be movable.
We might suggest to those who
Too much stress on the romantics side of life, especially young life, is bound to affect the average morgan. And if we are to believe another group of statistics, morgan make up a considerable proportion of the public.
The menus who allow themselves to be carried away in this manner then divide into classes those who can afford a divorce and those who cannot. The latter cause no attempt is being made to regulate the reading (and seeing) matter and the public attitudes that cause them, and because they are becoming less and less expensive and the number of poorer couples to separate.
The misnourished love affaire of the movie shakes and sheaches, the incipient suggestive pronggung of magazines which feature our problems and "love at first sight" stories, and so on are bound to result in a good many mismatched ideas about life and murders in a good many mistaken marriages.
would reform, that example is better than precept. The universities can do a great deal to solve the divorce "problem" (and a great many other problems), by looking at *Life* in the broadest possible light, and learning all about *Life*. Ignorance usually young people so impressible.
The highest duty of any university student is to become analytical. Then it he looks at marriage and its consequences to the duties of love as far as he knows it is sensible to, and to the duties of wisdom for the rest, he looks at marriage and its consequences to choice, and settle down to a happy married life that others may be able to follow. The university teaches that either successfully or not is another matter.
The world wants happiness, and if the world's leaders are happy the world's followers will soon follow here way to happiness.

Coach Hargis says that what Kansas needs is a winning football team that's exactly our sentiment and we hope he can convince other schools in the "BbL Sib" of their fact.
Starting a Ford these cold mornings would make a crank out of any man.
