A REAL THANKSGIVING
Relief at last! A headline says "Porto Rico Has Bananas."
Thousands of eager spectators will surge into Stadium field Thanksgiving to see the wonder-game of the year. Hundreds of homecoming alumni will crowd the town, affectionately criticizing changes and proudly boasting of improvements. Many will wander over the campus, walking wisely of old comrades who will never return for homecoming.
Must Kansas meet those who come to my homage to the Jayhawker spirit with the admission that her undefended team must play in a stadium which will never be completed?
Must she tell her alumit that they will never find a Union building in which to meet old friends and now?
Murt she tell her war veterans of whom she is so proud that their 12 comrades who gave their lives in the world war are forgotten—that the students of K. U. will not complete the memorial so lovingly and worked for during so many years?
The challenge rests with the students of the University. The memorial is worth while from a utilitarian standpoint, and it is infinitely worth while from the higher stand point of commemorating our war dead.
Some students are of the opinion that the shouting of "Beat Mizzos" every time the whitie flashes is a wonderful method by which to defeat some professors' determination to hold the classes over time.
A chapter of a Robert Louis Stevenson romance was enacted Sunday when coast guard cutters seized the most daring run-running schooner on the Atlantic, the Tomaka, off the New Jersey coast. They caught "John Silver" McCoy, better known as "Rummy Bill," the rum smuggler king.
YO, HO, HO AND A BOTTLE OF RUM
Before daybreak the revenue cutters were seeking the pirates' black flag. When they sighted it the ship veered, the engines throbbed, and a cannon boomed. The rum ship "heaved to" the and blue coats clamored on board armed to the teeth, to take charge of the spoils consisting of 200 cases of "Christmas Cheer," and make the "king" walk the plank.
They fought a bloody hand to hand battle with the musketeers. They cracked heads, busted jaws and made noses bloody before finally the crew of eight surrendered and exposed "John Silver" who was crouching among the whisky cases in the hold. The nine captured are in jail now.
Yo, ho, ho and a bottle of Rum."
"Drink and the devil had done the rest...
How about a new collegiate synonym? Don't say "mold-digger," say "cal-miner" or "freight-rater," or some other public gouger.
PEP AUXILIARY
Whatever may be the criticism launched at the Ku Kub Piup creating body, they are sincerely trying to fill an important gap in University of fairs. Their purpose is to aid the cheerleaders in instilling in the rosters the "old Ginneger" that ennerves
the opposing teams, and stimulates
opposing teams, and simulate the Kansas eleven, and to provide entertainment between halves.
They are representing the whole University. Their success is that of the University. If they fail it will be because the student body did not co-operate. If their personnel or methods are at fault it is the duty of the school to change them, in order that Kansas may not be surpassed by any other school with its pep auxiliary. In the meantime they are doing more than any other organization and should have the proper backing.
The Collegian says "Even the Argile Wild catnicker in wild catnish glee." Yes and the Jayhawk nethed melodiously from his hive on the Kaw to read the kittenish coings of the jellyfish cow bonking through his bonnet. (Honest, no offense, Argies).
THE PRODIGY
What is prodigious about mastering the intricacies of Greek and Latin at the age of twelve compared to absorbing some working principles regarding human relationships and life in general, by the time one is twenty-one? Will the infant prodigy be better equipped to help govern the nation? Will he have a greater socializing influence in his community? Will he be vitally interested in national and world problems with the ultimate aim of reaching workable solutions?
If any one of these questions could be answered in the affirmative, the nation would be justified in introducing a scheme to rear predigies by the score. But the training of a prodigy requires such a strict and limited scope of endeavor that the child's perspective is dwarfed and distorted. His sense of values is undeveloped to such an extent that when he becomes a man in years he may be unable to take a man's place as a leader, or even as an intelligent follower.
Should a child show tendencies toward becoming a prodigy of his own accord, it might be well to divert his talents during the formative period in many fields in order that he may gain a larger view of life.
The shoe repair men are complaining that business has fallen off since the dance marathon contests have stopped.
Book Review
On a Foreword
Glendon Alvine, A. B., 15, LL. B., 16, public director for Paramount Pictures, writes the foreword to the Pola Neri graphic illustrated of "The Thief" on the screen version of Victor Hugo's "Don Caesar de Bazan." Mr. Alvine tells, under the title "Some Remarks About Novels that Become Motion pictures," of the utter contempt for a graduation from college "weighted down by two degrees"; and of his coming to appreciate motion pictures as an industry and an art. He describes the changed attitude of creation toward the film and sets up defenses for motion picture script.
He adds, "I am by no means contending that picture titles are always legitimate or in good taste, but in considering successful titles, let us remember that the outstands the in. It was 'Yes, We Have No Bananas.'"
In the final paragraph Mr. Allvine concludes, "Mariana lives again," reincarnated in another generation by means of a new toy which Victor Hugo, with all his creative imagination, could not forsee."
The changing of titles Mr. Alvine defends on the basis of the public's lack of appreciation for the original design of the office receipts. In this vein he defends changes of script necessitated by temperamental stars on the grounds that it has even been thus "cleared" to assign to able the bewildered public.
He gives the layman a working idea of the tremendous amount of editing and cutting down that must be done before a feature film is ready for the public. The picture is Spanish-language, 75,000 feet of film of which only nine reels or 3,000 feet could be used.
Mr. Alvine was graduated from the University of Kansas in 1915 with a major in journalism. He received his law degree the following year and went into newspaper work, being employed as an editorial writer for
