Entered an second-class mail master. September 18, 1900, at the post office at Lawrence, Kansas, under the set of March 3, 1907 KNOW YOUR UNIVERSITY "He is from Northwestern, did you say? Well, how did he ever happen to stop at this dump?" That is the theme of conversation one hear on Mt. Oread. Year in and year out, it is always the same. TUESDAY, SEPT. 28, 1926 Do you know K. U.? Do you know that last year, the "Jayhawker" University of Kansas year book, was ranked as the best in the entire nation; that its glee club won first place in a national contest of college songs and third in all around excellence at the national glee club context; that the captain of the rife team was proclaimed the champion R. O. T. C. Marksman in the United States? Do you know that our basketball players won for the fourth consecutive time the Missouri valley championship? Rare art, in architecture, picture- eque and antique, is passed each day by 4000 students, yet remains unseen. Our classical museum is Folded visited. Dyche, too, remains unknown. Our faculty, past and present, has never been without its share of world wide fame and honor. Among the scientists of the world we find Franklin, Slosson, and Cady. And there is Carruth, whose poem, "Each in his Own Tongue," has been translated into all the principal languages of the world. But still we say, "How could you stop in such a damp?" Then what? Would student loyalty and appreciation help? What is the matter with K, U.? What does K, U. need? Surely not a better college yell. Surely not better museums, better zingers, better nibbles or a better faculty personnel. Henry Ford has adopted the five day week for his working force. No doubt to give all his employees an extra day to spend the week's pay check. OPTIMISM_PLUS Hope springs eternal in the human breast, it is said. So also must optimism. For what other term fits so well the recent move of Hill authorities in disposing of many of the "Please Keep Off the Grass Signs" that formerly ornamented our campus in such profusion? Everywhere one ran across an innocent little white-faced sign that pleaded mutely for the preservation of M. Oread's best brand of blue grass. At night, weary students staggering home from Watson bumped into these little signs and made caustic and cutting comments. They didn't seem to know that it was their fault that they bruised their shins. No, if they hadn't perished in cutting across the nice lawns in their haite to get to classes and a good hon'ns nap, there wouldn't have any need for signs. But something had to be done about those backlocking stretches of hard-packed ground. The persuasive little signs then appeared in the places where students most frequently tired of hard, old cement walls and just had to try the nice, soft grass. Soon they found the walkers were better than battered shins so the grass began to grow again and so did the hearts in the hope of Hill authorities. They decided to remove the little blank and-white signs. Now they are waiting to see what happens. That is why we call them optimists. It is rumored, however, that the persuasive little "Please" signs have not been destroyed. If you want to keep your precious shins unscathed just ponder this in your spare moments. writing to see what happens GOOD JOURNALISM There is one thing incident to the announcement of Henry Ford's five-day work that should be noticed by every newspaper in the nation. Samuel Crowther, and the newspapers which printed his copyrighted news story, set a new high mark in the records of international journalism. The announcement itself was of news value great enough to rank as one of the outstanding "stories" of the year. Beyond that, though, the way in which Mr. Crowther handled it created a masterpiece of journalistic writing which should be a milestone in journalism's progress. To be sure, he was not working under the handing of have to whip into shape in a few hours or even a few minutes a short story which had just "broken." But the masterly style in which he coached his announcement would have been acceptable to a monthly of the highest standing, and the disccionment of the newspaper editors who chose to pay him for his work is a ray of hope in what sometimes seems a truly gloomy outlook. "WHAT'S THAT COURSE ABOUT?" "What did you have to do in *Elements I last year?*" "What is that course I last professor Blank about, any how?" "How is that report supposed to be filed?" These are typical questions being asked by students now that more than a week of school has passed. Everywhere on the campus one finds people trying to learn from Friends the purposes of certain courses. Some students will get the desired information after a week of unregistration, while others so fortune will go on to mid-seminer, still wondering. And responsible for it all is the instructor who does not practice system; he who develves headloading into the course at the first class meeting without outlining the future. In answer, the instructor says he would have been glad for personal consultation at his "office hour." But he forgets the new student, who in the maze of becoming oriented at the University doesn't realize that the instructor has an office. Again the instructor insists that he mentioned the methods to be used during the first class hour, yet he forgets those who enrolled late, or perhaps re-croolled. And when the instructor has a class in intangible theory, he apparently finds it unuseful to risk an inflexible outline. Yet it cannot be escaped; the student has a right to demand of every instructor at the opening of the course a systematic outline of its aims and purposes, and some instruction concerning the methods by which they will be attained. The instructor who does so will benefit both himself and his students. An investigation of campus problems will be conducted by the students of Pomona College with the cooperation of the faculty and administrative authorities. The purpose is to gather reliable information concerning student opinion of campus problems upon the basis of which recommendations for changes are to be made to the authorities. On Other Hills The University of California boasts having the world's most complete press box. Two modernly equipped press boxes, one on the edge of the playing field and one on top of the stadium, will enable reporters to "cover" football games from every angle. --the house of Kappelerin Good Clothes — New Location — 813 Mass. — At Washburn College, a number of traffic rules have been made by the disciplinary committee of the men's student council. Any one violating these rules will be deprived of the use of their cars on the campus. All upperclassmen at Dartmouth college are required to take part in some athletic activity three times a week for the entire year. Students at the University of North Dakota have organized a drive for $50,000 for a new stadium. Bandman will get their uniforms at room 302. Fraser, tonight from 7:00 to 9:00.
