TOO MUCH GENEROSITY
Im't Armistice Day wonderful!
And isn't it too nice for words that we are going to be excused from one another? We need to attend the University services?
Such an amazing display of generosity on the part of the "University Fathers" is so unbelievable that it is doubtful if any of the students will take advantage of it. It is simply too much. The student body is going to show the higher powers that it is here for an education and not to waste its valuable time by such a magnificent observance of Armistice Day.
Even the instructors have said that they didn't think it was right to dismiss an entire hour, and the opinion has been ventured that it would have been plenty had classes been halted for five minutes and the student body busied itself in silent prayer. Instructors don't like to get an occidental vacation, and they are in favor of cutting out all of these useless celebrations like Christmas and Thanksgiving in order to have more time for lectures. It doesn't take any work on their part to give lectures, anyway words of wisdom flow from an inexhaustible supply in their brain.
It is really preposterous to think that even an hour should be wasted, for Armistice Day isn't anything. There isn't any reason to celebrate the day on which practically every nation in the world was released from a frightful war. To use the words of a recent popular phonograph record: "It's probably some old silly day so one ever heard of anyhow."
The lure of the reckless modern age must have got into the blood of the "University Fathers" in order to make them do such a reckless thing, and the students have a right to demand that this foolish waste of their valuable time be stopped immediately.
"Pianist Unbends for Granddaughter" was the heading of a story in a recent edition of a local paper. In bad they didn't say who was the cause of the original unbending. Another of these deep mysteries we suppose.
THE BIRTHDAY PARTY
More than two million persons attended the little birthday party in Moscow Monday. The tenth annual anniversary of the Bolshevist revolution was the occasion for the party. The chief attraction was not a brilliantly lighted cake, but, instead, the draped body of Leneine reposing within a glass relictory outlined against a background of red—the symbol of Communism.
Noisy celebrations accompanied the many civic activities. Great Britain was denounced. Theaters staged plays of the revolution. Demonstrations of Soviet power occurred continually.
Of course, the remainder of the world should not criticize the ten-year-old too severely for feeling his strength. Violence and mob rule are only steps in the reformation of that nation. They are inevitable results of the expression of a suppressed peasantry suddenly rising to full power. In a few more years, perhaps, Russia will be shooting firecrackers instead of paying homage to a dead leader by waving red flags.
The pain of years gone by is still with us. It returned with the starting of classes last fall. Now it is becoming acute, even to the point of loathsomeness.
THE SAME OLD PAIN
Some instructors continue to hold classes overtime. They simply cannot realize that the whistle when blown marks the end of classes in session, and does so officially. There are a few who think, presumably, that it is only a signal to charge ahead with whatever subject is at hand.
Something must be done. Perhaps something will be done.
An open season limiting the hunter to 12-gunges, extra heavy loads of number four shot at 20 paces, and a lag limit of two an hour would, perhaps, be effective. If not there would be the possibility of employing sawed-off billiard cues, well loaded at the large end and swung in a free, easy stroke. Perhaps it would be necessary to resort to cross bars, chair legs shoes or hits of crochety.
When all has been said and done, however, we are still where we were at the start. Not being in sympathy with the ways of the mob we should find the sheeve means impracticable and thus will be without the much desired panacea.
So we shall simply continue our muffed singing. Some time one some one how may solve the trying equation. Eventually, we confidently believe, justice will come to those instructors who come late to class, spar around in an effort to catch up and in doing so ignore the warning voice of the whistle.
In the meantime we shall merely tell each other of our troubles, indulge in reciprocal consoilation and quietly move on to the next. More Moses shall lead us out of the desert.
Headline: "To Hunt Lions Writh Dogs." We are wondering if Big Bill Thompson is the instigator of this hunt.
WE WONDER
A curious argument was advance the other evening at the Cambridge-Kansas debate, in favor of the tabloid press.
The tabloid in a training school for newspaper readers, it was argued; a kindergarten, as it were. Through its pictorial representation it makes an appeal to the interest of those who would not otherwise keep up with current events through the daily newspaper. In short, it was said, the tabloid calls into a class of readers out of the ranks of the illustrate, and non-reading public.
That is only the first step, it was contended. By and by as the hungere for news is developed, the reader automatically changes to mediums of a larger scope, and before long he finds himself a devotee of the legitimate press. Once a regular follower of the happenings of the day in city, state and nation, he will find his interest in civic questions growing. As time goes on, better citizenship is the inevitable result.
And this wonderfully significant addition to democracy is to be attributed to the tabloid newspaper.
A most convincing defence for this form of journalism, is the argument of these gentlemen; a picture almost Utopian, we should say. And still.
We wonder where we may find statistics to bear out these contentions. We wonder if this graduation step from the tabloid to better forms of literature has been painted accurately. We wonder if the picture has been presented to us in its proper perspective.
Even if the situation had been honestly treated, we can not help being inquisitive as to the number of those who, on the other hand, have turned from better literature to the tabbid; who have found the columns
holding slender taper candle makes an ideal light for the dinner table on a winter evening.

There will be a very important meeting of the Jay James Friday at 4:30 o'clock in the rest room of central Administration building.
JAY JANES:
of solid type dull and uninteresting after exposing themselves to the picture-paper.
And as we recanister, we wonder if there is not also such a thing as a graduating process from the newspaper to the tabloid.
Remonstrance against a quiz is so entirely innocuous that an angry report sounds like a report from a guilty conscience.
A after a somewhat lengthy quiz given a class recently, a student in a polite way informed the instructor that in his opinion those who did not write rapidly could not possibly have finished the work in the required time. Whereupon the source of student enlightenment in a more or less bell-case manner asked the student if he thought that he could "run" the class better.
Nearly every student on the Hill has heard a similar professional restorat at some time or other. And nearly every student who has done so has marked the author down unfavourably in his mind.

"When I was a child, I spoke

I know what is meant by name a man I put away childish
AND A LITTLE CHILD—
So this holds true for the majority of us, but whoever wrote the editorial concerning "Be Good, Little Girl," in the Sunday issue of The Dulkan Kansas
Remonstrating with an instructor about a quiz is a good deal like arguing with a man who has a gun pointed at your head. It solden does any good, and it is taking an awful risk. On the other hand, the prof who knows his bond and makes an answer such as the one quoted, not only foreshadows the respect of the class, but also painfully suggests that he himself realizes that he is not conducting the class in a proper manner.

Editor Daily Kansas:
although grown in the stage where he should "put away childish things and speak in a man" still instants on retaining his youth to show an extent that still likes to play as a child, "spake with a child," and thinks to think as a child. Whether or not the writer is one who still "still retain that grade-school attitude," or "is in the mundly little boy stage, we do not expect him to be a student in Kansas University.
Perhaps the writer smokes as a child and "seeks things "darkly" and not "face to face," because he loves them. Perhaps it is also as yet, perhaps it takes a heartbreaking experience to bring the truth home to us such as the recent tragedy which took the lives of two Missouri teachers, but also many others. The hearts of hundreds of friends and admirers, not only in Columbia and the home-town of the students, but also hundreds outside were taken in by the dearest, closest friend of the victims were students in Kansas University. Thus the truth was brought home to some of so while others still remember how much children did not thinking of the hardships and worry that we cause "her" who has volunteered to take care of a college-full of wayward, misunderstood children who have refused to "grow up."
The registration of women students was justly required. In case of accident such as the Missouri tragedy, responsibility on the part of our Alma Mater would be somewhat relieved, and there would be no "if/of" that abatement after an熔葬 than precautions it takes before it has happened.
face the matter squared. What would happen if no rules and regulations were carried out? What respect would we have for our Alma Mater students? How would we care that she does for us? We are grown now and are men and women. Let's come face to face with each other and thank the University and its administrative bodies for taking action as to our happiness and welfare.
