KANSAS SPIRIT ABROAD
KANSAS SPIRIT ABROAD
Kansas fame which has been gained through its college yell, "Rock Chalk," recognized as the world's greatest, is becoming greater through the institution of the annual Christmas Tree and the Christmas spirit of giving that is manifest with it.
Other universities in the West,
Colorado and Nebraska, and Washington
and Lee in the East, are planning
Christmas trees similar to that of Kansas. Europe is feeling the echo of the Kansas Spirit.
Last year candles were sold to provide gifts for the Russian Relief, Near East Relief, and the K. U. Student Loan fund, but this year the Christmas program committee favors concentrating on one objective—the Student Relief in the Near East through Conrad Hoffman as their representative.
The committee feels that American students can appreciate the appen of foreign students with an undying desire for education who are living in conditions which, however bad they may be pictured, are not exaggerated. They believe that American students will respond to the aid of those who are doing their utmost to help them selfs, and who will receive added zeal to continue their study from knowing that someone else is thinking of them.
A new spirit is slowly arising in these countries. The students are anxious to lead in the reconstruction of their countries and put them back upon a sound economic basis. They are beginning to feel a touch of international childhood, a complex idea, which we can foster by our interest in these Near Eastern university men and women.
The most that Kansas can do will be “merely a drop in the bucket” although $10 a year will make possible subsistence for one student a year. And if we can catch that international spirit of friendship, forgetting our selfishness for a while, the benefits will be ours as well as theirs to whom we give physical aid.
As to the flairis problem, anybody who says it with flowers must have lost his powers of speech. Look at Kansas City's twenty million dollar water plant. And only last week we thought we said a mouthful with two orchids.
HOMECOMING IS COMING
All over the United States preparations are being made for the greatest college classics of the year. On Thanksgiving day more than three million persons will witness the game that is second only to the great American pastime of baseball. Men and women fill stadium to witness a genuine contest of "brains and brawn" that is clean.
K. U. is getting ready to be host to her thousands of alumni, friends and friendly enemies, to such a combat. She wants all of them to come and feel welcome.
Kansas City evidently believes in richness for foods. One of her kitchen boasts a ten thousand dollar chef
Now that he has his eyes on the White House, Henry probably regrets taking the brass bands off his four cylinder "shay."
AROUND THE WORLD IN THE AIR
A non-stop flight across the United States has been successfully performed. A sun-to-sun flight across the continent has almost been accomplished. And now a still more ambitious voyage is to be attempted—a flight around the world.
Doubtless more than one trial will be necessary for the successful culmination of the feat. Doubtless several lives will be sacrificed on the altar of progress. But civilization, in its onward march, is inexorable in its demands upon human life and energy, and so long as the advance continues, just so long must the world pay the toll. And so long as romance has a call to men's hearts, the advance will continue.
As long as American boys and girls are brought up on Mother's pumpkin pie there will never be any bolshevism and anarchy prevalent in the United States.
The flight is to demonstrate the feasibility of aerial communication between the continent and to furnish data concerning the operation of the present type of aircraft in various climates of the world.
Plain Tales From The Hill
The Hilla a McIntyre
The hill at noon. Snickerling women blockaging the sidewalls, and cane-swinging laws shouting orders.
Wonder what they will do with the cane when they graduate? A professor fights his way down the steps. Got a Ph.D. I'll be satisfied with an A. B. Roughed cheeks and leather coats, and one of the dear things drops her book. Ah, I am a hero.
A young flip races his engine, and the girls look. Tasty small issues from the commons, and a rush at the front door. There's a derby hat, and here comes the second mustache this year. An airdale and a curlook for handouts, or a fight. Why does anybody take chemistry and breathe that air? A rear and a mud bath. Smiling faces look back, and I mutter beneath my breath. Here comes a senior engineer.
Cat yowning from center Ad. I got a little brother that can make more noise than that. Wonder what kind of pictures they draw up there. Half-dressed boys around the gym. Gee, how it makes you shiver. A couple making a date. Nonsee and taffy. Hurrah, he gets it. Swagger stick girls running for a street car. A broken compact box. There's one with yellow rouge, or can it be rouge if yellow.
The deserted stadium in the valley.
Soon it will teem with life and then quietness for another year. Wonder how much they pay for work on the library. Signs announcing something or other. Some fraternity boys don't have any hats, and freshmen have too much hat. A broken paddle. Does that old man go to school. Here's the street home. The stroll ends.
Young Editors' Conference The Kansas City Journal, in its editorial columns for Nov. 20 prints that—
State Comment
These papers have an influence which is not to be minimized. They effect the spirit of their various institutions and strike many an effect, and give them an interest or against that which is opposed to hope interests.
It goes without saying that the editors of Kanas high school papers who attended a conference in Lawrence gained from it an inspiration which will be reflected in raising the already high standard of these school publications through long since passed when the public smiled at the activities of the youthful editors who "ran" the high school and college papers. These young men and young women have rendered a very definite and valuable service to their schools, to the cause of education, to their staff in devoting their serious consideration to journalistic enterprises.
All honor to the young editors of today, who, whether or not any large percentage of them will be the editors of tomorrow, are now experiencing an experience and exerting an influence of the greatest value to all concerned.

On Other Hills

Each member of the Vigilance Committee has in his possession a whiskey, upon which he sounds a warning to those who "stray from the straight and narrow cement paths."

An attempt is being made by the University of Chicago to organize its local chapter of Phi Beta Kappa as an active undergraduate society. Some of the activities suggested for this purpose were securing of prominent persons for addresses on the campus, and the creating of companionships with people interested in the university's work.
