TUESDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1926 THE CHRISTMAS CONVOCATION There were no shouts of "We want Bill White," when that well-loved Kansan finished his address in convention Monday. That would have been too much like repaying with money a spiritual debt. That were few in the group who heard Mr. White who did not, deep in their hearts, silently thank him for a restoration, at least for a time, of their childhood faith in the spirit of Santa Claus. It was a talk glowing with the true spirit of Christmas. Because we all still have at least a spark of that spirit of which Christ spoke when He said, "You must be born again," we liked your talk, Mr. White. Thank you. THE RESULT OF TRUE EDUCATION Brewster Morgan, who was announced as the Rhodes scholar from Kartas for 1927, deserves much credit for his achievement. It is the culmination of long years of application and study. His will be the privilege of contributing to international good will by living for three years in the atmosphere of Oxford, receiving the best that the great English university can give. Selection for the Rhodes scholarship comes only to those who have realized the aims of the true university, those who have from childhood worked for a broad education and have cultivated all sides of their life. A Rhodes scholar must typify the four square life. Mr. Morgan, had he merely seen only a good job in a special position as the end of his college course, never could have won this honor. His education would not have been complete enough. The fact that the Kansas Rhodes scholars for two years in succession have been from the University of Kansas shows that this institution is giving to those who want it broad culture that fits one for life. Our University is attaining the ideal set forth for a university by Cardinal Newman, "not learning or acquirement, but reason exercised upon knowledge." A group of Missouri women announce that they have formed a "nongossi" club but the whole world will have to be "showed." THE DEVIL'S DISCIPLES "Disciples of Devil Pay Price of Sin," read yesterday's headline over the startling revelation of the criminal situation in Irvtingon, N. J. The story disclosed that citizens of this town of 50,000 were frugally selling peanuts, cheese, and gasoline on Sunday, and one youth even went so far as to "diddle on a violin for the sake of amusement." All on the Sabath, too. It was 172 years ago that the precise forefathers of these people legislated that the only activity to be permitted on Sunday was traveling to and from church and selling milk and newspapers. Now their descendants, who have strapped from the path, are being arrested on charges of violating the vice and immorality act in "pursuing BRIEFLY LAD SHE MOURNS THEE THEE Briefly, she marmore the, Bridely, age, but well; Seated by the espresso With folded pluperperl Purple on her bonnet, And dusted in her hair, Just enough for pretitness With delicate apron . . .

And the city of Irvington is real rising a nice little sum of two-dollin fines from the tradesmen and news- paper reporters who are heimously violating the blue law. No doubt the theater owners, who demanded the complete observance of the 172 year old law, feel rightfully sanctified after such good work. No doubt they were justly inspired by their own forced observance the last century and felt it a duty to bring the blessing of a blue Sunday to the rest of the town. Anyway, the town is setting a glorious example for the rest of the wicked world. As usual, a man stubs in and spills it all. "The 'Miss Bradley' who robbed the bank at Buda, Tea," the other day isn't a sweet young heroine at all but an just ordinary married woman. WHAT THE ROCK CHALK MEANS The "Rock Chalk," however, is not representative of every phase of our University life. When we think of Carruth, it does not come singing into our minds. It is far from being the tenderest and most beloved memory of University life which we carry away. It is not symonymous with our Alma Mater, even though frequent association has made it so for many of us. "Rock Chalk" is a cry of the fearless, a cry of triumph, even as the son's roar. It is associated with the exuberance and enthusiasm of youth. It is most appropriate when connected with athletic sports or any physical context. Since it is not expressive of every phase of University life, we should use it with care and cease trying to apply it to occasions foreign to its nature. Yesterday, at the close of a beautiful Christmas conversation, it had no fitting place. It is a pity if we have no sense of such an occasion as that which makes us feel revulsion when it is finished with a yell. It was an abroad (i.e. fun) comedy "The Power Road" by the film which was presented by the Dramatic Club in Rollington gymnasm Monday as the first of two evening performances. A large audience, members of which had constantly to twist their necks in order to reach the set, was kept amused through the act of comedy, during which those on the stage had to match their voices with the instruments through the ventilators of the "theater." At The Theater John Robeson, alias Robert Calderwood, was the show both as the mysteries Mr. Latimer whose baby was the prevention of runaway marriages, and as the director of the production. The play naturally evolved about his sister, Mr. Calderwood's splendid performances made this almost too apparent. Probably Laura Ballon as Eastasia gave the second outstanding charme- It seems just a bit unfair to place an experienced actor among student actors as the comparison tends to be noticeable.

Although the performance seemed anarchic in places it was thoroughly enjoyable and the audience won't soon forget the lovable, cynical Mr. terization of the evening. She more nearly approached the standard set by Mr. Calderwood than any other member of the cast. Lawrence Oben as Leonard, one of the runaways, gave a high school performance. His sneezes were the least polite he could get. Anna, played by Marian Keck, at tempting to elope with Leonard, was evenly portrayed throughout the three acts. Her reaction on her audience was exceptional, but her work was easy. Book Review The life study of Clyde Griffiths. a son of city street missionaries. Dominic, played by Jack Myers, was the conventional stage butter but successed in submerging himself in his part successfully and received his share of the laughs. George Callahm as Nicholas gave a rattier broad char- acterization, but pointed his lines well for the audience's appreciation. But to Mr. Calderwood belongs to the show. He captured his audience. He gave the play a unity it seemed to lack while he was off the stage. He put on a production under the adverse conditions which must be compounded by the need for a ground of one man as a director, but Mr. Calderwood did not only the successfully, but carried the show besides. To Professor Allen Crafton belongs the credit for the originally arranged stage setting which was used through the play for the successful stage itself but even though it was a gradual rise in the seating so that persons behind the sixth row could see the actors. Dreier has been called one of the greatest American realist writers. And such he has proven himself to be of extraordinary quality, of uncompromising American life. By Edgar Schowalter bellhop in Kansas City, convicted of hopping, is one so gripping that the reader naturally feels the pulse of emerald light away in Iverson's mostly weak肩. Mental tests given to all new students and freshmen at the University of Joliet indicates that younger student as well as more mature student report released by Doctor Book of that institution. Included in the report were reasons why students do unsatisfactory work, some of which lack of luck of ability, inadequate supervision or inefficient methods of study, and lack of proper interest. And there lies the one serious criterion to be directed against the move—the abnormality of its born. Clyde is a youth of weak character, not altogether to environmental reasons being also an inheritance from his mother, but a result of nurturing nature. But environment influences early叫Clyde out of the street mission work he learned to teach; he quickly learns the code of the bull hoo. An incident in Kannam City makes a gift of him. Later he obtains an opportunity, of a sort in the factory of his rich uncle. Whilst he was working in the factory his own sexual contacts of a slanting nature. At once the weakness of his character crops up and hurt when his real opportunity comes in the form of a wealthy girl his homes are forever blighted by a sexual dancing in which he played a part. The long drawn out encounter followed—truly a tragedy it ever some of the term. Adobert College has recently abolished the home system as being unattractive. The justification of Dreiman's induction of a weak character in the person of Clode is to show how poorly the world sympathizes with its abnormalities, how utterly cruel injustices can be. Drierre does not advocate revenge for these injustices on his novel, but holds out for more information of them coupled with the surely, rather than the severity, of punishment.
