U.'s second successful Radio Night has come and gone, and over the country, alumni, who heard it are living again in memories of their days on Mount Oread, awakened by the sounds of student voices singing the "Crismon and Blue," and the famous Rock Chalk which no person with a spark of K. U. loyalty can hear without some thrills. Nor could the alumni have been more enthused with their memories than were the prep school students, who are dreaming of the future when they will be a part of that institution. Thus the message of K. U. spirit and loyalty goes out over the world, in the past carried by wire, word of mouth and letter, and for the last two years through the air, thus reaching thousands who otherwise would not know or pretend to comprehend the work and purpose of the University. Somebody asked the other day if "Who's Who" had any jokes in it. No doubt it contains many. WOMEN, HUMOR AND POLITICS There was a time, according to Mr. Depew, when there was hardly a successful politician who did not sprinkle a large quantity of wit and ridicule in his speeches and use every conceivable device for producing humor. There seems to be less of the "genial, easy to listen to, flow of language from the politician who knows that he is going to face an audience, in which there are a number of women. Chauncey Depew, in a recent interview for metropolitan papers said that humor as a chief factor in politics has disappeared since women have been given the voting power. "The more sprightly stories have been discreetly dropped from his speeches, in fact a tendency toward gravity has appeared. For this the women must be held responsible." Men, accustomed to the ins and outs of political campaigns for generations, have grown to take the whole affair more or less as a game, while women have been looking on from the outside, waiting for a chance to put in practice those ideas of good government which they have formulated. Yes, perhaps it is true that the women have taken some of the humor out of politics. To them it is a serious affair, and not a thing to be settled by joking. One student says, "The best father in the world is mine." And Dad doesn't object until he is mistaken for a silver mille. --state during the Christmas holidays and after. AS PRESS AGENTS When convocation is held Wednesday day morning more than one hundred county clubs will be organized into functioning bodies. The organization of these clubs may prove so ceaseless as to membership, but their ultimate worth goes far beyond membership. It is necessary, of course, that every student in the University attend the meeting of his county club and help formulate plans. Then, it is necessary that all these members continue their work throughout the Every student who has instilled in him a little of the K. U. spirit and enthusiasm, and surely everyone has, will have a chance to carry that spirit of loyalty to his section of the state. Working in groups and individually the K. U. student will have an opportunity, and it is his duty, to tell the high school students of the state why the University of Kansas is the best institution to attend after the high school work is finished. STUDENTS OF THE WORLD What will happen when six thou- sand Christian students from all over the world gather together in con- ference for five days? At least that number will attend the Ninth International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement held in Indianapolis, December 28 to January 2. These conventions are held once every student generation, under the auspices of the Student Volunteers, but only a small number of those attending will have pledged themselves to foreign service. The sort of thing that will probably come out of that vast gathering can only be gussed and hopid for, when the purpose is known. This has been summarized as follows: "To realize the critical needs and possibilities of the situation in the world today and to consider the responsibility of the Christian students of the United States and Canada in of the United States and Canada in the light of these circumstances. "To consider Christ and His way of life as the hope of the world. "To present the foreign missionary enterprise in the light of its achievements and possibilities as an indispensable means of bringing the power of Christ to bear upon the world's needs." No college is sufficient unto itself. This convention will provide a market place for the inter-change of ideals and thoughts of students all over the world. Great themes which will be discussed are racial relations and Christian brotherhood, international problems and the Christian way of life, present day social and intellectual unrest, and modern industrialism. The value to K. U. should not merely lie in the effect the convention will have on the lives of the twenty-five delegates. It should make world problems and the application of Christian principles a vital factor in he lives of all students. At The Theater (By Ted Wear) "Venus" visited Lawrence last night and proved to be one of the most imain and tiresome shows ever made, with horrors which couldn't even keep stairs looking attractive, principals which were medicine, men who were very sweet looking, and that was all, and settings that were decidedly shop-worn and not particularly attractive, with not particularly beautiful Jewel Room." made up the show. The book was poor, the plot, if there was any, was worse than none, and the jokes were of the vintage of the Civil War. The comedian was of the type found in cheap burlesque shows, and the low-comedian of almost any show occasionally has an original or new joke. But those jokes are always made by the audience knew when to laugh; they were used to the jokes. An eccentric dancer, one of those boneless prodigies, was rather good, but his dances were not varied enough to be interesting after the first number. The contortionist dancer, though homely and devoid of superfulous flesh, was good in her line. The actors in the show could get a good number of pointers from the Lawrence amateur actors' association. Makeup was very crude, the moustache of the villainous player was not worth mentioning of a high school drawer and the Lawrence smearers of the grease-paint could give good advice. The great and augmented orchestra carried especially with the show was all noise and little music. The singers were not capable of anything approaching cleverness, although the person labels as Ace Brown on the band allowed to try out for the glee club. A person must be rather easy to please who can say that "Venus" was worth the time and effort to get it.
