FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1923 At last we've found the personi- nation of "Ye loyal sons of Kansas." Capper says he'd rather be the seni- tor from the folks back home than President of the United States. TO THE EARS OF THE NATION Advancement paves the way to unity; progress lights the world to strength. Someone said that in answer to the statement that the science of evolution as it is being developed tends toward disintegration. That science is a unifier was illustrated Thursday when millions of people, listening over the radio, heard the voice of their President as he outlined in the Senate hall in Washington his program of legislation. His particular program may mean no more than other presidential messages. The new administration may accomplish more or less than previous administrations. But when Coolidge talked to the nation, he heralded a new step in the progress of the American people to that oneness of purpose and spirit which every great country possesses. When committee legislation is cut down, and unlimited debate established in the House of Representatives, the government will have to use the U. S. army to regulate tongue traffic. THE QUITTER Quitting easily becomes a habit. It is catching. For others may be encubed in with the spirit you are manifesting when you say "Well, I guess I'll quit, I've done enough." Did you ever stop to think how easy it is to quit? It is only the best who can see a thing through. There are many reasons why it is a good thing to quit, sometimes, but unless there are valid reasons for stopping laying off or postponing a job, it is the weakest and easiest thing to quit Nobody likes a quitter, and yet some coverup力作 their quitting so they can force everyone to may theirs are accomplishing all they would have you believe. To try and fail is much more magnificent than to try and quit. No brains are required to thrown down a job. Lacking courage to endure, avoiding the fight, and letting others do your work will get you no place. The man who reaps the reward is the one who though failing keeps going. Refuse to surrender! Do not say "I can't get by in that course. Say it can be done and keep going. The state had "education week," Kansas City is to have "health week," and now the professors are urging a "study week." STUDENT SINS IN IAMBICS "Where was sin still insolent and tue? And indolence the aim of death and birth?" There in the college these things were so, according to a poet in a current magazine. College students have been maligned in essays, novels, lectures, and educational treatises. It is refreshing to find the poets taking up the question. Perhaps the whole thing will as sume a new angle when it is placed in the confines of iambic pentameter. Perhaps it will be interesting enough to read in its new guise. But however it be written, it still remains nothing but a new version of the old, old unjust tradition that college students are the arbiters of all that is unconventional. It is said some people go about with nothing on their minds but their hats. Some students don't wear hats AN AYE FOR AN AYE AN AYE FOR AN AYE The House of Representatives will save its little joke! Usually it takes the form of a dead-lock between the Democratic and Republican parties, but the sixty-eight congress, realizing the close proximity of election time, instituted a new and novel way of attracting the attention of the voters. When Congress convened Monday and attempted to elect the leaders for the ensuing session, the Republicans in the House encountered unexpected opposition from the progressive wing of the party. This insurgent body, nominally Republican, threw a wrench into the machinery by refusing to support the re-election of Frederick H. Gillett as speaker. Instead, they cast their votes for one of their members, Cooper of Wisconsin, thereby preventing either party from securing the necessary majority. The Progressives did not expect to elect their candidate, and did hope to force the conservatives to grant certain desired amendments to the House rules. It was a case of an aye for an aye, and a vote for a vote. After two days of squabbling, during which nine ballots were taken, the Republicans finally agreed to consider the proposed amendments to the rules and the insurgents cast their votes for Gillett, effecting his election. The preliminary skirmish is over. Now that each political party has had an opportunity to mount its platform and bask for a moment in the limelight of publicity, perhaps congress will be content to settle down to a consideration of some of the many weighty problems with which it is confronted. To cut a class the day after a vacation is the unkindest cut of all. IDEALISM PLUS ACTION Without a doubt: the Ninth Quadrennial Student Volunteer Convention to be held at Indianapolis during the Christmas holidays, will be an epoch making gathering. The University will be represented by about thirty students. No other convention has ever faced such an opportunity to influence the molding of a future world. Students in America have allowed themselves to be patronized and disregulated until the students of other lands have manifested to them their own power. Too many of this country have thought of college as a preparation for life instead of life itself, and have almost unconciously become storage batteries instead of dynamos. At Indianaapolis the students will meet a challenge from themselves—a challenge to make some concentrated effort toward a mutual understanding of each other. In addition, they will be confronted with the problem of making their idealism triumph over entrenchments of other generations. It is to be reregulated that more students of the University cannot benefit directly from the convention. Those who return will bring with them the distillation of the more practical and workable aspects of Christian living. A man who was rescued from trowning in an attempt to commit suicide, feels that he is a failure in everything even death. He has succeeded in at least one-heed did not fall to draw the right conclusion. Pain Tales From The Hill College Ladd: Why is it you girls ave a pin in the shape of a moon? G.

Olympus Post." The Kansas City Times says that a newspaper is in many ways like a baby. A disgruntled Kansan cup makes the remark that some of the editors are like babies, at least when it comes to "bawling out" subordinates. Free tickets for one of the artists' concerts were distributed recently among students of the University of Minnesota for the purpose of encouraging them to attend the university concerts.

U. Fraser A real education must mean vastly more than fifteen hours per semester. Every hour of every day, one is acquiring those things which constitute his actual education. The thing which makes University life so rich and desirable is its abundance of opportunities to know and appreciate the best in music, in art, in literature, in public opinion, in social contacts, in religion. The student who ignores every opportunity outside of his fifteen hours is sitting down to a banquet table loaded with good things and limiting his meal to bread and butter. Is fifteen hours enough? THE FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH invites you to share some of life's richest opportunities. You are welcome at all of the regular services. Attention is called especially to two things: "The Commonwealth of God," a pageant, religious and patriotic, to be given Sunday night at 7:45. A cast of 110 people. The Fourth Annual Fellowship Banquet. The Annual affair for all Baptist Young People and their friends. The date is Friday the 14th, at 6:30. The club is also endeavoring to secure co-operation in getting posts removed promptly after they are out of date, and thus do away with the unsightly effects that posters on the campus now produce. Something new in dances is the morning prom introduced at Grinnell College for the women. The dance team returns to morning in the college gymnasium.
