DEAN WALKER TUESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1927 The cruelty of fate was never more apparent than when it allowed the death of Dean Walker “because my life has been a failure” before he could know of the praise which he has been bestowed upon him by his many friends. State and University now unite in praising Professor Walker for the work which so overburdened him, and which probably was responsible for his death. How much a little of that praise might have done, had it been given a week, or a month ago! He is gone now, and we can do little my bestowing these laurels we were negligent of before. But we may learn that the word of cheer the kindly handshake, are not useless. A PROFESSIONAL BUSINESS Usually mentioned first among the socially dangerous controls over the press is the influence exerted by advertisers; but this is by no means the most important one. Where free "puffs" are given, they may mainly be easily detected; and such publicity is gradually losing ground because newspapersmen have to realize that it is had commercial practice, amounting, as it does, to rate cutting. There is also direct advertiser influence where patronage is withheld because of the political stand of a paper. But this, too, is losing its potency as business men are coming to know that advertising is an essential part of commercial practice. The newspaper is more necessary to business men than is the advertising of any one business or group of businesses to the paper. The real advertiser influence is exerted more indirectly. The publisher is also a business man, and as such he mixes with business men. He gets their ideas indirectly, but effectively. In this dual character of the newspaper as both a profession and a business lies another of its problems. YOUNG AMERICA SPEAKS "We can stop any time now," quoth a blaze youth at the dedication Friday night. "Amen!" prayed his companion. And the disgruntled person sitting in front was stopped in his absorption of Mr. Scott's talk to wonder and applaud the extreme cleverness of the youth of today; and to marvel at its aptitude for bright saying. For who else could have thought of a remark that fitted the situation so well? It occurred to the listener that this was an opportunity to hear the wist- dom of these intelligent ones who express their opinions only on very unusual occasions, and the remarks of an insignificant person such as Mr. Scott should never be allowed to get in their way. Of course there was the slight anomcy of Mr. Scott's voice from time to time, but although his talk was the feature of the evening, he couldn't have and anything to compare to the mental advancement the second balcony made listening to free- speaking America. A FACULTY LIBRARY Watson library is for the use of the faculty members and graduate students with the undergraduates considered of minor importance, according to information received from the director of libraries during a recent interview. Undergraduates do not need to study. In fact, all they want to do in the library is to chew gum, put their feet on the tables, and make dates. Reference work is unimportant and does not have to be done anyway. Desire for a good time is all that draws the students to the building. Faculty members have to be well informed on their subjects because the students might accidentally know more than they. Therefore, the former are entitled to use a book as long as they deem necessary, regardless of whether the book is a text or not. Perhaps the professor is making a comparative study and finds it necessary to keep the book out of circulation for several months. Indeed, if no so chooses, he may have it for two years. On the other hand, if the student desires a book in the possession of the instructor, the student should buy the book from a store. It might disturb the faculty member and besides, the library is built to serve the faculty and graduate students first. The more fact that it takes from 20 to 30 minutes to get a book from the main desk—assuming, of course, that you eventually do get it—should not amuse your indignation. You see, the faculty must be served first and you have plenty of time. A wiser move would be to call for the book in the afternoon and return for it the next morning. The Library is for the 225 graduate students and the 300 or more members of the faculty. Therefore, if you are one of the 2800 undergraduate, rejoice. The rest of them are actually getting some service. It has been said that the reason why leaves turn red in the fall is because they are blushing to think how green they've been all summer. How about nature using this method to show how pale flaming youth can be compared to flaring trees? The K. U. Barber Shop 727 Mass. St. Students often wonder if instructors are optimistic enough to believe that outside reading will be diligently done. By this time a good many of them are rank pessimists. A freahman of our acquaintance says there must be a great feeling of self-importance connected with being on the regular football team, and not having to stand when the Alma Motor is played. We've heard of "gold digger" chickens, but we've never believed the yarm until we read that Mrs. Ed Henry of Glen Elder, Kan., had found several gold nuggets in the crops of chickens she was dressing. The consulting chemist is said to have found the gold acid-proof, too.

Seeing the Shows By Jack Stuckenberg Brownie* "The Joy Girl" starring Olive Borden and Neil Hamilton is a tribute to the woman who is a part for which she is well suited; that of the modern girl of moquerie and a boy of wealth and happiness through a rich marriage but ultimately finding that Neil Hartman playing the part of a millionaire who has changed places with his chauffer for any novelty item, and with his gold-digger and the affair of tailoring in love is mutual. The complications which arise are well thought out by the scenario writer and Allan Dwan (who plays his actors into a good interpreter). The screening of the film is good, especially the color scenes, and the settings, furnishings, and the 100 photos. The extravagance, extravagance, make it an enjoyable picture. Variegata—"Sincig 'a", "starring a draco a draconius at a snowdrop in the Okanagan and California oil fields that terminates, of course with the loading couple blocked" The play, written by May Editionman in the Saturday Evening Post last year, and although the idea has been used rather extensively in recent pictures, it is not too old to enable a director to derive a four share of amusement. It is hard from the very first of the nerve to form a liking for the character, because it is so unreal and misleague that any possible enjoyment to be found in the novel may be impossible. in old and tough and there is not so sufficient touches of the unpaid to make them seem less hardy than theme or plot. The age-old idea of the soft-surfaced of a woman to re-examine her own weaknesses in hardships which she undergoes is brought out in the same old way with the touch. The screening is only mediocre, the exterior fair, and the interiors terrible. At the Concert By Charlotte Thompson At the Concert By Charlotte Thompson At the Concert --display her high clear notes. A restrained, subdued, controlled sound, made "Night and the Curtain Drawn" especially effective. "Joy," the final number on the program, displayed the singer's power and range. The chord played was a sureness and case, evidenced the singer's control of her voice. Miss Merlahia Moore, soprano, wore her audience by the melody of her voice at the concert, which she put into her selections at the second faculty concert given last fall. Miss Moe's program was divided into four groups, a mixed group, a German group and an English group. The last group was the most brilliant of the four and in it the range, power, interest and engagement of voice showed up to greatest advantage, "The Skylark," u rapid, varied number, gave Miss Moe a chance to DR.

At least he had his cap on and was walking with a girl, so there was an excuse. As he walked along Ordeen, he crumpled a paper which he carried in his hand and a few minutes inter, passing a paper container, showed something that caught the eye of someone stopped at a mail box and shoved into it, not an envelope, but the crumpled piece of paper. The next chapter is not known, but perhaps it was another of those little American tragedies.

A favorite Kipling story Advertisements are more interesting today than at any time since the invention of movable type. Merchants and manufacturers realize that their announcements must compete for interest with the work of the high-priced authors and illustrators. IT IS recorded of this well-known British author that he once demonstrated with a friend for having sent him a publication from which the advertising pages had been cut. "Why, you have thrown away the most interesting section!" Mr. Klipling said. If you are not a regular reader of the advertisements in this paper, this is a good time to cultivate their acquaintance. You will find them friendly. They show you where to stop and take considerable strain off both shoe-leather and pocketbooks. Read the advertisements because they are interesting. Believe them because they are true. Act upon their suggestions because it will pay you in many ways. Before you pick up the telephone, you usually consult the phone-book. Before you start out to shop, consult the advertising columns of this paper. They will give you a direct connection with the merchandise you want. Don't stop with reading the news and editorials. The advertising columns are equally important.
