SCHOOL FOR SPEEDERS
THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 8.1923
Judging from front page items, if Biblical writers had been Kansas City men they might have written, "...and it came to Paseo, where the stranger fell among thieves, and before he could regain his hold on the car strap, they had his watch, company pay roll and church offering..."
It sounds non-essential $ ^{1} $ but Judge Roberts of the police $ c $ in Kansas City, Kansas, acted creditably when he established $ n $ school for car drivers last week.
All traffic violators will be com-
melled to attend the school which will
be held once a week. Each offender will
be given a copy of traffic rules to
study before his oral examination.
The amount of fine imposed will
depend on how well he has learned the
rules.
If this plan instituted by Judge Roberts proves effective and lessens motor accidents, it might be well for the state to consider a similar examination for licensing drivers.
That chronic freshman has forgotten all "blue" melodias since Dad sent him that life-time pen to indorse checks.

CALL OF YE FOWLING-PIECE
Since his most primitive existence, man has been endowed with the instinct of hunting, and civilization, instead of doing away with it altogether, has served only to refine it into the king of sports.
Four score and seven years before Lincoln made his memorable address, the forefathers of our fair country declared open season on the redcoats and chased them and thither with their squirrel rifles until the species had been driven from their colonies. But long, long before that, even the entire congressional district around Plymouth Rock had resounded with the booming of blunderbuses, as our pilgrim forebears procured their turkies wherewith to return thanks.
Granddad and even Dad many times have boasted of how they used to bring down the ducks in veritable showers on the Verdigris, and never did they sneak along old Willow Creek a single time in their lives without bringing home a dozen or two squirrels. So, when we began to pack our things to come to K. U. and Dad told us we'd better take the old shotgun along, we required no second urging. Now, when the nights are filled with phantom calls from countless wild fowl hurrying southward, and the early morning air is poignant with the taint of frost, small wonder that we take the old shotgun and head for the river, where reigns the most ancient of sports.
The Jayhawk is not planning to let George do it in the Washington skirmish this week-end.
THE POOR GRIND
The poor "grind." We pity him, because he denies himself many things that we think are essential to happiness. We think him narrow in perspective and dull as he sits at his books hour after hour poring over the pages with what we consider a manta for books.
Were it possible for us to look into the motives that prompt him, and
could we understand the force that impels him, we might change our attitude. Could we see ourselves as he sees us it might be self-pity or self-depreciation that would characterize our new-found point of view.
There are grinds not only in colleges and universities, but in all fields of activity. Many of our most valuable discoveries and inventions were made by men whose habits did not differ essentially from those of the college grind. They were devoted to their work oblivious to all other considerations. We call them geniuses, but the fact that for them work was so engrossing that they sacrificed pleasures and often wealth in their devotion to it, gives them membership in the Society of the Grinds.
We are all acquainted with the stories that are told of our great American wizard, Thomas A. Edison. It is commonly known that he limits his sleep to six hours in order to devote more time to his work. Similar to him in this respect are many other great inventors. And upon the discoveries they made the great industries of the world are based. The capital employed in industries based on Edison's inventions alone runs into the billions.
It seems that the despised grind in science and industry and everywhere builds the groundwork of industry and scientific progress—of civilization at large, and we normal people must content ourselves with using the tools that others had the ingenuity to originate.
The bear of Czarist Russia has, under new regime, become the bug ear of Europe and America.
TUDENT BANK ACCOUNTS
The Lawrence banks have tried, pparently in vain, to evolve some scheme whereby students will not verdraw their accounts.
While it is well to be systematic about one's finances the banks feel inclined to raise a protest, and justly when certain of their student clients overdraw their account regularly, even at the same date each month. That's a system, but, there is a better one, based on the principle of keeping stubs systematically.
Most overdrawn accounts are the result of carelessness rather than deliberate intent. Three-fourths of the offenders are women, which would seem to denote that they are incapable of managing their business affairs. Perhaps women lack merely the practice and the preliminary training.
The average boy has a bank account from the time he is old enough to carry papers. He learns what it is to earn money, as well as how much money will buy. His sense of values is developed and when he comes to school he has some realization of how far allowances will go.
It is injustice to women to ensure them severely for mismanaging their bank account. Yet, it is too bad that the banks must suffer for the faults of parents in not teaching daughter the value of money.
Old Jupiter Pluvius may drench the playing field before or during each game, but he cannot dampen the old "Kansas fight."
State Comment
For more than ten years L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of journalism at the state university, wrote that students of which Kansas editors would have reason always to be proud. Working often against seemingly insurmountable handicaps, he has succeeded in convincing staff and staff of instructors. With little or nothing in the way of enrolments from the state, he has constructed a remarkable plant and fitted out one of the best exhibits in the entire country.
From the K, C. Kansan:
Now the old journalism building, inadequate as it has been, is destined to go. Plans for the new library make it necessary to condemn the quaint old structure which has turned out more than 300 successful newspaper men and women, many of them in Kansas today.
Some provision will have to be made, that is true. But just what that provision will be is a matter of conjecture. In all probability it will be temporary and inadequate, at least for the present, unless help can come

from some other source. It was suggested at the recent meeting of the Kansas State Editorial association that the editors themselves were working on this suggestion is all the more significant in that it came rather spontaneously from some of the delegates themselves, having received no impulse from Professor Flint or any other member of the faculty of the depart-

Suppose the editors of the state did decide to get behind such an enterprise? An appropriate building would furnish the nucleus for an exhibit that would be of inestimable value to every editor of the state.

Further, the building itself would serve as a permanent headquarters for the state conferences and banquets. All this in addition to the fact that it would be worth while to put the department at our university ahead of any other institution in another incentive. Every year the department is turning out trained newspaper people in every branch of the business, most of whom will find their work on Kansas newspapers. What could be a more suitable environment for service than the creation of a plant which would be adequate for the ever growing needs of an ever growing university?
Topnotch
That means the very best in value and quality for here are shoes that might well be taken as the standard of comparison.

LAST CALL
When the dining car porter bellows this message thruout the string of Pullmans, it means that unless you get a wiggle on, you will have to be satisfied with a dry cheese sandwich at the next stop.
Our "last call" has much the same significance. If you don't snap out of it and get hooked up for the Soph Hop tomorrow night there will be nothing left to do but pass away the time at the "pichur show" for only 250 tickets will be sold for the Hop and most of them have already been snapped up.
MENU—Shofstall's Ten (always piping hot)—Two Grand Pianos (something different) —Eu banks, Chuck's novelty entainer, (you'll get a "kick" out of him) —One o'clock party (another whole hour with your girl).
We're trying to dish you up something that is satisfyingly different.
