"I AM READY"
A great leader. Heralded a world prophet. A hero of all nations. For eight years America's man, and then — reaction, coldness and defeat. Ill health. Enemy's prey. A broken hystander.
Reduced to a political password and the "League of Nations." Mistakes magnified. Personally prodded. Stepped on by bellicone. brothers. Armistice Day and a prophet's angry speech. Fate had made another bitter end-r.
And now he is dead; the end of a hard ending. Once paid world home, he died fighting his own countrymen. But only death triumphs. And today, even those that perhaps helped Death sorrow, for America has lost a great man. Democracy is a writer of great tragedies, and yet Woodrow Wilson would have made the world safe for it.
FALL'S FALL
The sensational evidence disclosed before the senate committee in connection with the Teapot Dome is the most damning proof of a defective system of government.
$25,000 FOR A HOME FOR CATS
Politicians are, however, trying to sidetrack the issue. Instead of trying to find out the real defects which makes such action possible, they are trying to make it a campaign issue. If it were only an isolated instance of such irregularity, they might have been able to justify the attitude they are taking. But it is a recurrent phenomenon which some to light every now and then—such being the case, the Senate should go deeper than mere allocating of blame in this or that person or party.
A recent court decision in St. Louis ratified the terms of a will in which settlement of $25,000 was made for the construction of a cat shelter. The will was contested by relatives, but the suit was lost.
What a story might lie behind this strange bequest! A story of spite, perhaps, or of displeasure with relatives. Who knows? But the fact remains that with $25,000 could be much more for the good of humanity than the building of a shelter for cats. It would buy food, fuel, and clothing for many poor people in St. Louis. It would help several struggling geniuses on the way to fame. It was a shelter for cats! Why any self-respecting cat would much rather sit on a back fence and yell all night than to inhabit the most luxurious of cat hotels!
Old Paragon claims a man is getting one point closer to transgression when he can't even stand to have an upright piano in his house.
The inventor who combined a calendar and a savings bank never spoke to the collegiate "gold digger" either.
It's about time to write home that you have a chance for fifteen hours of A's this semester.
"Prize Race Now Neck-to-Neck"
—headline. Looked like another in
diction against the college caste
but turned out to be a circulation con
test story.
“‘Smiles’ is the longest word in
no English language, having a mile between the first and last letters." But it's done with the shortest face. We've found the Hill's tightest tightward: the fellow who spent a dime on a large on-call book, anticipating three hours of questions, and then crushed because his prof only asked three short interlocutives.
"Man Attempts to Kill Wife." Well, turn about's fair play.
Oliy olymaeity has always been with us, but Mr. Fall's oily silence is a new one.
Mid-senior reminds us that someone ought to write the yet unwritten drama, "The Return of the Former Student" or better, as Alger would say, "Out for Grades."
Plain Tales From The Hill
"Red, Tshuil, secretary of the Y. M. C. A., has asked "Chet" Shore to teach a Sunday School class at Haskell this semester, "Chet" hasn't promised it yet, but he promised to give the matter careful consideration.
A local store recently advertised men's socks for 25 cents apice. Wonder how they sell such things as matches and toothpicks?
Apparently ignorance is not entirely limited to freshmen. While laxing with his registration blanks, a sophomore found to his dismay that he was required to fill in a blank stating his religious affiliation. After falling twice to spell "President" satisfactorily, or even logically, he allowed himself a temporary memory and wrote "Methodist."
The other night, the K. U. band was practicing a new selection which includes a cavalry charge. The effect was to be produced by the drummer beating on wooden blocks in imitation of regular regular beats of the horses' hoofs.
In this particular instance, the drummer got "balled up" in his time, and the result was a wild confusion of irregular beats. "Gosh, Mac," one of the other hand boys piped up; "those horses must have the string-halt."
Well, here we are again—some of us at the start of a new semester. Let us offer a silent prayer for our dear departed brethren. The Hill brothers couldn't make the girls both literally and figuratively speaking.
Speaking of grades, a student who went to the K. U.-M. U. basketball game after a hard day of exams r = 13.6 and scored no longer pulled through with a "D."
On Other Hills
The Pan Hellenic Council at the University of North Carolina has taken steps to help the freshmen improve their records. No pledges will be allowed in fraternity houses except at certain hours of the day and for special occasions. From one to three in the afternoon, and from five-thirty to eight at night are their hours at the houses. Every night there is a ban on the rooms after nine p. m. Other rules of a similar nature have been passed by the council and will be mailed to each fraternity.
In view of the coming examinations, the University of Illinois has asked for a meeting of presidents of all groups, fraternities, and sororities, for a discussion of personal honor, and how the spirit may be built up among the freshmen and new students.
Hundreds of students call weekly at the health service department of the University of Michigan. It is estimated that approximately sixty-five dollars is saved daily by students through the use of this service.
Construction of Minnesota's new stadium will begin early in the spring. It will seat 50,000 and will be "U" shaped. It will add of 7,000 to the stand.
A memorial to the workers of the Prairie state's soil will be dedicated at the University of Illinois when dedicatory exercises for the new $500,000 agriculture building will be built.
Students in the school of commerce at Ohio State University recently operated a large Columbus department store for one day. Further plans whereby stores may be used as laboratories for scientific experiments arranged by the college of commerce with the Ohio council of retail merchants.
