HOMECOMING
Today, and all this week-end, old grad will graduate the fewest *dears* to them in school days. Many alumni will return to visit their fraternity chapters, to see classmates and professors of earlier years, and to see the Jayhawk football team go out upon the gridiron determined to heat Nebraska.
Homecoming is indeed a delightful event in the year's events. Students are glad to have their older brothers and sisters with them. Associations with them lend inspiration and courage to those who are struggling to finish work on a degree, preparatory to going out into the world likewise.
Our city and our campus are live- lier and more spirited for having the
lier and more spirited for having two old grads with us. There is more of a snappiness in the student life, a stronger sense of hospitality and brotherhood shown on Mt. Oread and in Lawrence.
Our students are glad that it is homecoming. They appreciate the privilege of having those who have gone before here with us.
Barter shop dispensers of philosophy and street corner authorities on gossip should be duly warned by a dispatch stating that an instructor of New York University is at Bellevue hospital in a critical condition with a fractured skull as the result of a philosophical discussion with an instructor of Columbia University.
ENVOYS FROM HOME
Among the especially honoree guests of the University this weekend are the editors of the state. These editors represent newspaper located in hamlet and city throughout the commonwealth and as such they represent the constituents of the University, the citizenship of Kansas.
That latter item has assumed no small proportions in recent years. Universities and colleges the length and breadth of the nation have raised many topics for public discussion relating to student life. These subjects range from compulsory chapel to the spoliation of athletics; they vary in complexity from trivial social sean dals to involved financial and political abuses.
It is through the newspapers rather than any other single medium that the folks at home know about University life, or the affairs of college life in general. The news columns are almost the sole means for the average citizen to learn what is going on at the state institution which receives a great portion of his taxes. It is to the editor that he must turn for interpretation of things done at the University, and of the mode of life obtaining there.
It is to the editors that falls the duty of correctly picturing all these intricate phases of university life to the folks back home. Many times the task must have been difficult; many times the distracted editors, hardened to the weaknesses of human nature, must have despaired of safely interpreting incidents so that the ultimate effect in the taxpayer's mind was such that he forgive the error or quickly helped to adjust the wrong and that
he continued to lend his support to the institution.
As anvys from home the editors bear their various communities a multiplicity of responsibilities. The folks at home will expect a report. So while visiting on the hill it is hoped the editors will find reasons to carry back messages of satisfaction and hope of satisfaction, in that they observe, however faintly, sign of industry in the present university generation; of hope, in that they may discover signs here of future worth to humanity.
Judging from the item "postage" in the campaign accounts of political parties it appears as if the Republicans and Democrats are running letter men for office.
How would the fappers bait their line if "The Pioneer" stopped digging his everlasting angle worms?
THE UNIVERSITY INVISIBLE
The one big gate event of the Fall season is on. Homecoming is here with all of its decorations, its myriad special events, its old familiar faces—the alumni. May the Homecoming atmosphere be a fitting expression of welcome the University's faithful friends and supporters whose return is the honor event of the day.
Much has been said in the past of "school spirit," often in trying time efforts are made to "revive it" in the real K. U. realism is not a thing to "revived," it is something that lives on despite disaster or victory. It is the living expression that permeates the Hill now, that draws back to the campus those who have known
it in former years, that will make this a time of historical note in Jayhawker annals.
There have been instances when the spirit of the dyed-in-the-wood Jay hawker has led to ever-exprection, to revelry and misconduct. That is a
display of the Kansas spirit at its worst. Though its recurrences have been marked at Homecoming once, he marked at Homecoming once, it is trusted in this happy Homecoming period that only the best and finest of the meaning of the Crismon and the Blue will be seen, that the undesirable elements will be conspicuous by their whiteness.
The Homecoming should be sacred to the best memories and hopes and dreams of the Hill.
The high school editors' conference must have been supremely growth stimulating, for lo, it won't there a Kansas editors' conference scheduled already?
It appears that both sides in the Kanesa gubernatorial campaign find their modesty overpowered with a desire to accept credit for lowering the state taxes.
The official opening this afternoon of Watkins Hall, the new dormitory for self-supporting women, marks the beginning of a new era in the college life of working women of the University.
WATKINS HALL
Through the genotoxicity of Mrs J. B. Watkins, donor of the building the difficulties of securing an education have been made easier for a number of women.
Not only are the living conditions of Watkins hall a great improvement over those of other houses, but the amount of outside work necessary to make ends meet, is cut down considerably.
This means simply that students are enabled to go to school who otherwise could not, and that others are provided a means of continuing their education longer than would be possible under the circumstances. It means also a greater amount of time in which to study or take part in University activities.
Mrs. Watkins, or the officials who decided the requirements for admittance to Watkins hall, did well to make as a requisite a high scholastic standing. The need of such a building on the campus is great, and the method of discriminating as to who shall be the occupants of the hall has been well chosen.

"The American Association of University Women has compiled a set of statistics of the expenses at 85 colleges for women, including some of the coeducational institutions. They show that the catalogue expense, that is the cost of board, tuition and fees, varies from $257 to $1770; the extra-catalogue expense, which includes books and supplies, dues and contributions, vary from $5 to $270; recreation varies from nothing at all to $243. . . ."

SAFETY FIRST SPORT
W. S. JOHNSON, Chileman, Department of English
Clouse on the heels of a world series, channel swimming and a prize fight faceoff and concurrent with groveling before royalty and the great American tradition of football, comes a new ingenuity under the name of sport, rabbit coursing.
It is a sport which could be developed only by a great sport-loving people like the American. Although an outfit of hunting it has been so lofted by adversity that Daniel Lense would admit. The ancient hunter might trump or ride all day without the assurance of even sighting game. Marksmanship was an essential, and then, there was always the hurling danger that a footcolour bear instead of a muzzle equal to rabbit would be the game encountered.
But someone has said time change, and so do forms of sport. Rabbits are now held in little pens until all the spectators have paid for admission, and then the rabbits are released to ten feet in abundance of hungry hounds. The rabbit soon learns, if he doesn't know instinctively, to run from the dogs. That is sport — for the spectators. It is still more sport to see him dart or fall to dart into a little "safety hole" in a canvass stretched at the opposite end of the creosled field. There is no cruelty in this; it is merely an examination of the survival of the distest, or rather the fleeset. The rabbit which can safely elude the pursuing dog, isn't caught.
Mexico and Spain should abort more Americanization than the chewing of American-made gum. They must stablish their barbarian ball fight in favor of a safety first American sports, rabbit coursing. Crudity is absolutely done away with. There is no danger of the spectators being gored by rabbits.
It is honored that sailor troves are soon to be in vogue among men of college. This can fashion be an effect effect on the big rains this fall?
In a recent issue of McCall's Magazine there appeared an informative article for parents entitled "Is Your Son or Daughter Going to College," written by Mrs. Rin S. Hale.

CONSIDER THE COST
The purposes and aims of culture and vocational colleges are explained. Qualifications of prospective students are discussed, Mrs. Hale holding the theory that college life is as harmful to some as it is helpful to others. In discussing the various things to be considered in making the choice of a college Mrs. Hale names the expense as of prime importance. She says:
followed by the University of Kansas,
Baylor University, Columbia and
Washington University."
Although the local chapter of the A, A. U. W. is unable to discover from its files the exact data used in the compilation of the figures mentioned it is legal to assume the once given from here, as well as from the other schools, lead to the side of conservation. Despite this Kansas is rated no one of the most sympathetic educational institutions with respect to the extra-cumulative expenses.
After investigating the budgets of students at Kansas the inevitable conclusion is reached that in the absence of error in the figures presented the ranking of Kansas is principally due to the incongruous comparisons drawn between schools of such widely varying position, circumstance and character as to those of Taylor, a small Texas school, Columbia, leading the world in enrollment, Stanford, a richly endowed private school with limited enrollment, and the state educational schools.
The extra-catentary expenses are defined as "books and supplies, dues and contributions." Thus these items of universal stability should range by schools from $b to $270 bits at a discount in the data given, very likely due to misinterpretation of the exact statistic desired. However, in reference to the University of Kansas, it is improbable that the most extracavagent student budget exceeds hundred dollars for extra-catent items. A recent Y, W, C, A, "ideal" woman's budget here which included one or two costly items not included in the extra-catent expenses as above quoted only totaled to $950.50. The incongruity of the classification given is evident at least if the average extra-catent cost at Stanford is the limit name, or $270, then Kanser appears to be almost two-thirds lower in the scale. As a consequence it is hoped that parents reading Halle's article will not afford of affording the cost of an education for their children on Mount Orcad.
ART
Art- loving students, if any, have an opportunity this month to see an enjoyable exhibition of paintings on canvas by renowned artist Ronald Hertzion holding. The paintings are landscape exclusively. More than half of them are water colors; the others are oils. They are the vowels of some ancient words like the Kansa's Cities Art Institute.
At the Concert
BY JOHN SHRIYAN
The collection is conventionally, placid, and somewhat lacking in vitality and vigor of presentation. The paintings are modern, without being "modernistically"icated. Weakness of an emotion is counterbalanced by a predominating mood of cheerfulness affected by a fine harmony of color.
Human beings play a small roll in the kibby paintings, and the few persons presented are less alive than the trees. One of the most pleasing features of the collection is the breesness of the trees.
The department of painting has expended a great deal of effort to get meritorious collections for public exhibition. The department need not be so large and expensive, but a little appreciation of the exhibitions. The effort has not been wanted if only a few hundred people visit the displays. Art cannot be both popular and fine. Edgar A. Guest has a hundred readers to every one of Shelley's. If the artists want the multitude of works they have been shown their paintings into a wheel-barrow and trundle them down to the stadium.
Miss Kii dear brought to her audience the true message of the composers whose works she presented. The complexity of plane composition was simplified by the artist who had the mechanical skill to master every detail and to create a rare默读, singing by which she could use this skill to the best advantage.
It was a prominent pleasure to hear the "Waldisheim" sonata by Beethoven played at the tempo at which it should be played. It was a pleasure to listen not the usual attempt to master the notes of this number, but to an artistic rendition in which the technic was a more incident.
It was a genuine pleasure to have Schumann adequately presented. So many have failed to make the composer interesting to the hearer. Miss Rose was able to find the art in this composer's work, and was able to transmit her understanding to the audience in an interesting way.
The pianist presented a particularly well-chosen program. Each group was displayed the versatility of the performer. In the Chopin group her ability to keep a melody clear and handle the difficult accompaniment at the same time was shown in the Neoclassic; her snarking finger-work was displayed in the Etudes and in the Ribelle the true artistic sense was to have an excellent way to which she worked in a dramatic theme to a dramatic climax, and then brought back the simple theme with which to close the number.
After Miss Bear had played her final group of the work of French composers with the same skill with which she had presented the remainder of the program, she gracefully played an encore group of selections by Gosnau. She as cleverly composed sonnons and sonnions as she interrupted the more serious moods of the other composers represented on the program.
