Up and down the slide he wandered, turning to see where the tables at one of the tables in a far corner. He waited over to where she was sitting, threw his brief case on the table, gave it a shove which made a deep scratch in the finish, and proceeded to ask if he could borrow his notes which she was using at that time. Although she rather demonstrated he grabbed them and began to copy. At various intervals he would bother her with questions. She attempted to squish him with looks but he was of the type who could not be squished. Human parishes are scattered over the earth in huge quantities, but the University and educational institutions contain a larger portion than any other one organization. Everywhere we go, there are those who want to borrow the notebook, to study "with you" and to glance over your notes. It is the time of year when such occurrences are most frequent. Now is the time when those who have been having the fun thus far, must begin to study a bit; and if they can reen harvests from the labor of others, they are the type that does not hesitate to do so. Such policy may earn credits here, but the University of Life does not grant degrees on such merit. Sonner or later the parasite will find that to live he must exert energy. At the age of twenty-five or twenty-six, one may find it quite difficult to begin such a new form of activity. Headline—"West May Get Icu- mablab."

THE PROFIT MOTIVE THE PROFIT MOTIVE Economists use a term which anciently referred to the "profit of our modern civilization." They call it the profit motive. What a perfect phrase to describe the scramble for self-gain apparent every where in America. We must recognize that the strongest force which operates in the visible world around us today is the profit motive. It literally moves mountains; with our own eyes we can see it conquering deserts and crossing hazardous seas; it touches us in a hundred ways every day. The profit motive enters into our life so intimately that we forget that it is there and are prone to take credit to ourselves for actions which we like to ascribe to high ideals and motives, when if we only went behind the exterior far enough, we should see the profit motive back of all of them. Not only is the profit motive dominant in the outside world; it is also the strongest force in our little artificial world of college. Well, its over. Henry has finally consented to let us take a peep at the marvel of '27. MORE HOSPITALITY Whatever may be said for the police, of the athletic department about student activity tickets, the department ought to show more hospitality to ward guests of students. Students naturally want to sit with their guests at games. Under th present system the student must pachise for himself a ticket at the regular价 if he be to sit with a person who holds a ticket to a single game, and his activity ticket must go into By presenting his ticket which he obtained with his activity bank several days before a game, the holder of such a ticket should be able to exchange it for a ticket in another section, where he could buy one, also for his guest. It would be a courtesous action on the part of the athletic department to A student should not be penalized just because he is a student, when if he hold a regular ticket and found that he was to have a guest, he could sell such a ticket and buy another in very section he please. THOUGHTS ON MIDDLE NAMES According to the football team, they are now approaching the hardest part of the season—the football banquets which they must go to. Our consistent officer, commonly known as The Kansas City Star, has observed, with humorous intent, that the University Kansas is latest in the field this year to bestow a middle-name (it was really only an initial) to the nation's most powerful world will agree, the Kansas was intimately within the bounds of its duty. A middle name—univerally a distinguished family one or at the least a middle initial, is a great convenience, even an extreme privilege to a man as constantly and effectively in the public eye as is Senator Carte. Consider what an air of importance of magnificent impressiveness, of quiet and simple dignity a middle name add to the aspect of a public figure! The present or absence of a middle name has meant much to the success or failure of history's great men. Napoleon climbed to power in spite of the lack of one. But reflect for a moment how quickly he met his Watson, A middle name might have saved him. Coolidge himself might have been met with less hearty laughter if there had been something more to his cognomen than the anatheme "Calvin." So we could go on, to the end of time, citing frustration consequent on such lack. In the light of this evidence, it becomes the column duty of parents of potential public citizens to see to it that they are properly accompanied by the necessary articles early in life. In cases where parents call in this foretight the person in question is more than justified in adopting a middle name. And if it should happen that the citizen rises publicemente without being so prepared, it rests with the newspaper to see that the deed is done. Wherefore we repeat that the Kenyan van performing a public service in giving Senator Curta a middle initial, and it stands ready to perform its complete duty in service of the candidacy of our state's favorite and expand that initial into a name or open its columns to unquestioning from the press of the Missouri Valley According to a Metropolitan newspaper an Omaha incurs got a new thrill when she entered to find her apartment robbed of jewels and a far cost valued at $10,000. One more example to prove that all thrills must be paid for. At a scientific conference in Lar arame, Wyo. last week, the group formed themselves into an organization called the Academy of Science. The purpose of the academy is to unite the scientific men and women into an or organization for the development of knowledge in that mountain region.

Book Review For the person who feels an interest in such weird abnormalities as Oscar Wilde writes in "Salome," the new novel of Shakespeare's play, vividly satisfying. The body and soul of the book are perfectly welld, Dead black and gold cover, carried over into a cosmic motive in the end of the novel, which contains silver sockets; a dozen full-page symbolic illustrations by John Vasey, sufficient interpretative aid for readers, and an amazing touch of the amazing hardie of Wilde's voluptuous drama—such is the material presentation of the tragedy in its own peculiar side of the thing, his spiritual side of the thing, for him who travels that particular sort of oriental disk partake freely and with due gratitude to Oscar. The rest of us can stick to our ham and --pay their own expenses and attend an international convention of the association held in Europe. Campus Opinion May I express to you my hourly appreciation and endorsement of the official which appeared in the Sunshine News magazine *"Wem Shill Weil"* (June 15). Rosemary Ketcham. If we are going to take a narrow low of this question our funds will contain to dwindle as they did last year. It is as if we would say in Christian time, "I used many things and my family needs much." Therefore I will often say in relation to date relatives. "In such an event the spirit of giving is utterly lost. Where there is no vision the pope sees." Editor Daily Kansas; There have been some discussion since Sunday as to the value of the objective of the Christmas Tree fund this year. The objective—that of raising a loan fund for foreign students at the University of a large majority vote of the Christmas Tree executive committee. Since this action was taken a few months on the campus have been quenched and spirit of such objective. In past years, the land has been donated to an international association of student workers. Work has been done in the past by which our contributions have helped to promote. No doubt this work has been made with great purpose. The objective has been good, and University of Kansas students have supported it well. At all times this success has been a source of money has been spent in helping students, either foreign or American, in the United States. The only benefit is that American students is able to them. It is said that the Christmas spirit of giving is lost. It is necessary then, to give to someone with whom we need help, or to give to whom we do not know the extent of their needs, to have the Christmas spirit of giving is brought about by giving with the spirit of aiding our fellow-people in achieving our objective advocated we are doing this. Does it make any difference whether we are aiding foreign students attending foreign universities or whether we are aiding foreign students attending American institutes of higher education, the giving should remain the same. There certainly is no doubt in anyone's mind as to the need of such a foreign students' loan fund. The University loan fund knows that university loan fund knows many dire cases which it cannot and because of the lack of money in the The subject receives to this: Are we going to give to needy foreign students in our own country, or are we giving them a foreign university, a foreign country, and let the foreign students on our own campus remain very much in need of help? Are we losing the spirit of Christmas by giving at home instead of abroad?" A- On Other Hills Students from the Big Ten school have planned an extensive tour of Europe. Members of the party will be visiting Italy, France and S. Riyadh. One of the main events of the trip will be the attending of a lecture by Dr. M. H. conducted by Ma. John L.

The course is followed by lectures of the instructors cleaner and to give the students a glimpse of the faces of the matter they are studying.
