OUR INFANT TRADITION
Again the students of the University will be offered an opportunity to lend aid to the suffering and destitute students of Europe.
Again it is the moral duty of every one to do his share in making K. U's Friendship Christmas Gift this year as great or greater than ever before
An upperclassman can never forget the spirit of kindness and friendship that prevailed at the K. U. Christmas Tree last year and the year before. And this year the new students will have a chance to help make the spirit and success of Mr Oread's sweetest tradition.
Soon the time will be here and everyone will be swept in body and soul, buying, selling, and talking Christmas candles on Mt. Orange.
UNIVERSITY PROPAGANDA
Word comes from Ireland that the farmers are forced to drown many young pigs because of the low market price. What will become of the old gag about the Irish pig in the parlor if such circumstances continue?
AN advertisement for this University does three things; it obtains for the graduates a "standing" throughout the country; it gives the citizens of the state a realization of what their tax dollar is being used for; and above all, it stimulates in the minds of high school graduates a desire for higher learning.
The K. U. County Club organizations are among the best advertising mediums for spreading university propaganda. Publicity bureaus may send out copy by the mile for the use of state papers; registrars may send little booklets explaining the curriculum and administrative officers may speak in every city, but the best word which can be said for K. U. comes from the lips of the Home Town student who has "been away to college."
.
Next week County Clubs are to be organized. Students will be given their chance to show their loyalty by helping to perfect an organization which will go out over the state and country during the holidays to spread the message of the University of Kansas.
A musical soul speaks in his language and calls "hobo day" just plain "rag time."
CLOWNS AND PALMS
CLOWNS AND PALMS
Three fools with painted faces were awarded the academic palms by France this week in "recognition of their service in spreading good cheer." Authors and artists, statesmen and scientists stood aside to make room in their midst for the three clowns whom France raises to a place of honor with her great.
France knows, perhaps, that tears are always pretty close to the surface of human-kind. She knows too, that laughter lurks far beneath the tears
And so France, recognizing the art of the clown, who succeeds in producing amiles, bovine to him and to his kind.
France knows that even a fool may be great.
"my kingdom for a horse" has be come passe. One enthusiastic rooter says that he gave his voice for $ \frac{1}{2} $ football game.
PEACE BY PUBLICITY
FACE BY PUBLICITY
Senator Magnus Johnson says that the biggest of all problems at this time," and he believes that the only way to accomplish this is "to educate it into the people everywhere."
Peace by war has failed, peace by the 1918 Versailles brand of open diplomacy has failed, peace by the 1921 Washington brand of open diplomacy has failed; peace by *publicity* has not been tried, says a written in the Editor and Publisher.
Through what other medium besides the daily newspaper can this be accomplished? With the ban of censorship raised, and the will of the American people broadcast throughout the world, then only, can international peace be realized and not through any mere "piece of paper."
- The Yellow taxi is to invade London, and it is looked upon by the Londoner as "a yellow peril." But it would seem they have no reason to worry, for in the London focks no one can tell what color the taxis are any way.
VISIONS AND REALITY
Visions of a student union building at the University are soon to become a reality. The annual drive for funds has been completed and the results are far in advance of the expectations of the executive committee. A total of slightly over $30,000 was raised this year, which leaves but about $41,000 to be pledged.
The loyal support of the new students make it possible to break ground for the building next spring. At the same time it may be possible to begin the completion of the Stadium. With these two projects finished, the University of Kansas will have made a worthy advancement.
A sleepy student cannot reflect an author's views. Therefore, sleep, sleep, sleep—at night.
EVERY DAY ENGLISH
Important men in public life can talk and write correctly, tersely, clearly, and convincingly. Why is it? It didn't just happen so. They, early in life, realized that they wouldn't get far without the power to use language effectively. Successful expression and successful action are closely related.
Students, who have the advantages of books and instructors may well learn a lesson from these facts. People who are slovey in the expression of their thoughts, whatever those thoughts may be, are branded as bores. If one make mistakes in grammar, spelling, pronunciation, and uses fat lifeless words, he is a dullard and a bore in the eyes of listeners and readers.
The habitual use of good English is an education in itself. Ideas are worth nothing unless the individual has the ability to set them forth in an interesting and convincing manner. Good English, both in recitations and quizzes, make a lasting impression on professors. The excuse "I know it but don't know how to say it" is the confession of a dub.
A youth in New York is to receive his freedom from the state reformatory on the strength of four prize winning essays which he wrote. A few prize essays might be the means of some students gaining their freedom from the University of Kansas.
THE SAFETY VALVE
Nail File vs. the Duff
When wearing a shoe, most of the largest hotel in the largest city of this large country, or whether it be before an ice cream soda at a battered table in a small country, or after a cold ice cream young and old—vigorously applying the powder puff and the lip stick. Men may scoff but women pay no heed—they proceed to bolster up their shoes whenever and wherever they choose.
The Safety Value is a column designated for the safety of any student. This column is treated in University problem statements and is treated for anything herein printed. Full documentation as the evidence of safety must be attached to the Address, the Safety Care, Class Information, the Safety Vaccine, Care Instructions.
Nail File vs. the Puff
But just let a man pull out a pocket knife or other weapon and start to dig the rich loan from beggars. You can be a beck. You can be a heick. You can be a boob. you can be a rogue
—he's anything and everything that can pass the vocal chords. The women lead the ottery and the men —poor, spineless creatures—humblly speak, with their surreptitiously; in the bathroom, behind the hind, or elsewhere.
Therefore, I call upon the males of the nation to clean their nails in public henceforth. Let each one who calls himself a man pave his talons before the eyes of the women and be unafraid. If it is all right for women to put on , a coat of powder, rouge and other rubbish over your body—and do not everywhere—then surely it is no disgrace for one to remove dirt from a place where it is not supposed to be.

The University Texan, publication of the University of Texas, issued a twelve page paper on Thanksgiving day containing special cuts, stories and attractive features. It was the largest paper ever issued by the Texan.
On Other Hills
According to records of football in the "Big Ten," or western conference, the University of Chicago has the highest standing of any team during the past ten years. The Chicago eleven have won thirty-eight, nine and seven games, nine game plays, nine games, giving it a percentage of .691. Ohio State stands second with .558 and the University of Michigan third with .553.
Students at the University of Toronto spent $55,000 for text books this year. This is an average of $12 each for the 4,800 students registered. Booksellers say over half the students buy used book.
Students attending the University of Texas, with few exceptions, are not allowed to have automobiles under a ruling passed by the board of trustees. Students are made for graduate students and residents of Austin, students over 21 years without parents or guardians and who are entirely on campus. They are working their way through the University and using cars directly in the interest of their employment, students who are married, and students in professional schools who are taken an undergraduate degree.
Next year at Indiana State University the Memorial Stadium will be completed and will have a seating capacity of 22,000. Out of the ninety-five games played on the old field, seventy-five were victories.
Verne Lewellen, University of Nebraska football captain during the season which just ended, and pitcher Chris Bentley, who will team, will take to professional baseball in the big leagues immediately following his graduation in June. Lewellen has accepted terms offered by the University of Pirates and will join this club in June.
Between the halves of the Northwestern and Iowa football game, a greased pig was let loose and fourteen of the fastest freshmen that could be found pursued the animal. The attainment furnished for the large number of alumni that were back for Homecoming.
Some of the boys and girls gained the mistaken idea that we were knocking the dancing on the hill. Well, we weren't. We were trying in our poor way to give some constructive, clever advice. But really we all know that most of us can be improved upon.

All seniors of the University of Chicago have submitted suggestions for betterment of the campus. A senior-faculty committee will go over the suggestions in hopes that undergraduates may benefit from them.

A petition with 3,000 University of Minnesota student signers has been presented to the Minneapolis city council, requesting the diversion of the heavy truck traffic common University drive. The rumbling of trucks disturbs the instructors and the students, it is claimed.

NAUGHT CAN COMPARE WITH GIFTS TO WEAR
Christmas Presents From Any Woman TO ANY MAN That Will Reflect Her Intelligence, Instead Of Reflecting Upon It, And That Will Arouse Pleasure In The Gift And Pride In The Giver
"Oh! wad some power gie us a lifite
To choose the right and fatting gifte".
WITH APOLOGY TO ROBERT BURNS
SILVERED with the dust of years is the familiar quip that a woman always selects Christmas Gifts for a man which make him mad, instead of glad. If Mrs. Reader will only choose for Mr. Reader things to wear, she'll make it a lot, not a lottery. Moreover, without surrendering one iota of usefulness and thoughtfulness she will economize prudently in comparison with many costly, tawdry presents that are put aside, instead of put en and that elicit sacasm, instead of satisfaction. The way to a man's heart is through his craving for comfort and love of luxury. Do your Christmas Shopping here and there won't be any "Christmas Swapping" by-and-bye.
THE MAN OF TO-DAY™
