TUESDAY, JANUARY 11, 1927 COLLEGIATE SCANDAL A rumor wandered back to the HUD, the other day, as rumors will. A group of girls was having a teetate-a-tate in a hallway. "You know," said one, "I heard the funniest story while I was home. A neighbor, a nice respectable old lady, told it to me in strictest confidence. She got the story from a friend who knows the wife of one of the juniors. "And you know," she said, "some mornings after they have parties up there—the campus is just simply littered with silk bloomers." The idea is not new. The older generation are always suspicious of their offspring. It would be unfair to say they judge us by themselves, but the fact remains that state schools throughout the country come in for a lot more muck-ranking than they deserve. Rumors of the barber shop variety are constantly arising from nobody knows where. The guilty party is a traditional figure who incorporates all the vices of every wayward student who has been kicked out of a university in the past fifty years. He is a good-form-nothing lofer, a tea房, a fashion dummy, a football fan and a wolf in sheep's clothing. His consorts are frivolous damneds whose chief diversion is slipping away to dubious roadhouses where all sorts of wild orgies take place nightly. In fact this mythical character is that he is pictured in College Humor, plus sustaining rumors. The utter impossibility of the majority of these rumors makes them ridiculous. A student of the type described would last about as long under the palel-like Hill restrictions as the provicial snowball. In the first place he would be unable to stand the strain, much less the environment. In the second place he would have to be a genius to conduct such a career while meeting scholastic standards and at the same time escaping the eagle eye of an over-watchful faculty. As an animal, he isn't. But O! what juicy conversation he makes. And the sadest part of it is that a lot of low-income taxees are only too willing to believe the fabulous rumors of his activities. WHAT HELD OUR ATTENTION IN 1926? A half dozen editors recently submitted their selection of the outstanding news events of the year just ended. The ten stories to receive the weight if their composite decision were as 'allows': The Hall-Mills murder trial, the general strike in England, the Dempsey-Tunney fight, the death of Rudolph Valentino, the trans-Arican flight of the Norge Queen Marie. The Florida hurricane. The Florida hurricane. The World's Series. Byrd's flight to the Pole Hysteria to the Poor. Calles and the Catholic church in Mexico. There were a few other stories that vied with each other for admission to this list, among them Aimee McPherson, Peaches Browning, the Eucharistic Congress, Gertrude Ederle and the Countess Cathart. It is aptly pointed out by one commentator that the chief element in these stories is that of conflict; the stories are a composite of crime, sex; THE NIGHT Fond more surrever, weave as thou art, To sleep at last; a meadow's breadth from thee. In your dim voice and still, a sister-heart Halfite beside from its old sweet agay. The wall of night in up; around, across, Above nor sound nor sense of day reminis; Cones only now the litifal drive and tose Of maths upon the yellow window-ways. —Ralph Holtman in Two Worlds Monthly. novelly all converging in strife. Probably it would be more apt to put it the other way; that people's morbid interests are in crime, sex and novelty and hence these are being catered to. Be that as it may, of significance is the trend pointed out by one of the editors, that the newspaper used to be a mirror reflecting everything that went on, whereas now it is like an artist's landscape, featuring the "significant" or eliminating the infinite mass of detail. The quotes about "significant" are the Kansan's, for true is that it so much of news occurs that no one person could digest it all in a day, certainly is questionable whether newspapers have always selected the "significant" news. Witness the Hall-Mills debauchery, by the way, heads the list of big stories by virtue of vote of the six editors. Conflict will ever continue to play a heavy role in the determination of important news. But most certainly news of strikes in England, Polish conquests, internal Mexican affairs and hurricane disasters are of more "significance" than the anti-social stories mentioned, whether newspaper men or newspaper readers so recognize them or not. Believe it or not, there is still some evidence that college students are able to think for themselves. When the chancellor stated the other day that a college education is being obtained too easily, not a single student nodded his head. "Veteran Shoplifter Fined" says one of our contemporaries. What a shame, they ought to be giving the poor old fellow a pension. --many go off the Hill for lunch because they are not satisfied with the course of study or the failure of the Commons law in the failure of the management to make decisions in good faith. No one has a grudge against the Commons, but everyone does like good food, a variety which might be better served by an extra college student, within the parce of a college student, "The pot of poisonous hatred was boiling slowly." Kansas City Star reporting the Norris trial. That isn't so bad for a first rate murder story. WHAT IS IT WORTH TO YOU? Forty thousand dollars—was it wasted? For a great many students it probably was. Just a bronze statue of two figures, a bald-headed man with his hand upon the shoulder of a younger one, one who has not even the appearance of a college man of today except perhaps a slight association gathered by the books which he holds in his hand. Wasted perhaps for a few engineers who pass it by bitterly thinking that it might have stood where the figure of the pioneer once did. Wasted perhaps for a few "naws" who see in it only a place where they may rest their veefey and tan their canes. But was it wasted? Look again, you dullardls who have eyes that see not. Look again, you brilliant satellites who dazzle the unwary. Look again you cynics, and if visions ever sprouted in your fecile minds, give one just half a chance to grow. See in that youthful, eager face, rough clothes, and waving hair, a son of Kansas. Not only for a few decades ago but now and for years to come; we have not changed. The slick haired collegiate Kansas youth of today is yet an embodiment of the ideals depicted by that striking figure. Soe in the erect and venerable figure of dear old Uncle Jimmy, the generation that has guided us and watched over us through all the years of our infancy, the generation that is now slapping us on the shoulder and saying, "Go your way, young man, I have done my best but you must do even more. Do not fail me, sir." See the vision, you dreamless ones, and you will go out into the world better sons of Kansas. See the vision, fellow students, that a master artist has placed before you and $40,000 cheap—ah, it is very cheap.

Probably no member of the United States Supreme Court contends himself capable of going thoroughly enough into ten court decisions a day for the purpose of determining their validity, and that it is his life work. How, then, does sirs, permission in addition to her many administrative dates "get that way?" Campus Opinion --many go off the Hill for lunch because they are not satisfied with the course of study or the failure of the Commons law in the failure of the management to make decisions in good faith.

Doctor Helton will speak on "The New Objective Psychology With Some Applications for Psychology," at 5:30 p.m. Thursday afternoon, June 13, in the Brass Room of the University of Texas at Austin. Without a doubt, there is a No-Germanian some place in the Texas woodpecker. It seems unbelievable that more than three thousand errors in judgment could be made by the courts of Texas. Or, what is still more strange, that nine woman could step in and in so short a time bring to light and correct so many errors. PHI SIGMA: Editor Daily Kansas: PARDON ME. MA— For two or three years the food Commissary had made many complaints made, and no doubt for other reasons, the management was changed. Presently the Commissary has new management, the Commons is greatly improved, that the food Commissary is better managed. COSMOPOLITAN CLUB; In her best to guarantee "justice," Manipureziana has to lose light of the fact she is working a great influence to society by turning loose a number of convicted thieves and murderers equal to the population of a fair-sided city. Evidently in emulation of the pardoning prescripts of ex-governor Davis of Kansas, Ams, M. A. Ferguson seems to be bent on establishing a reward for leniency. To date 3,121 criminal sentences to jail by the Texas Justice Department have their freedom from this, the first woman governor of that state. W. A. A.; J. CLIFFORD JONES, Secretary. During the last semester the students have had an adequate opportunity to study at the University catering. And now the students are explaining that the reason for the poor food is the lack of patronage and support given it by the student body. The Commons is by far the most convenient eating place for students who remain on the Hill at noon, but Who wants to go to a poor place to eat? What management can gain patronage when it fails to supply the demands of its customers?

On Other Hills There are nine religious denominations represented on the University of Nevada campus to which 472 students are affiliated. Among these are three Eastern Orthodox, two Roman Catholic, and eighty-one students stated no religious affiliation or preference. That Otto University establish a branch in China has been proposed by a professor of the department of physics at Tokyo University. His proposal is accepted, Ohio will be --the fifth university in the United States to install a Chinese branch. Other schools with oriental branches include Pompeii, Provincia vino, and Grimelin. The University of Wisconsin has abandoned afternoon classes during summer sessions. A new schedule of five afternoon hours, running from 7:30 p.m. to 12:30 p.m. to go into effect in 1927 summer session was adopted by the University faculty at its last meeting.
