SUPERSTITION PERSISTS
Halloween is upon us, and, of course, it will be celebrated in the usual manner. Halloween is a throwback upon the old days when witches used to roam upon this earth, and hideous monsters were known to snatch up children to gobble up in some forest retreat.
But is the human race as far removed from these foolish beliefs as it seems to be? Last summer the report came that a mighty monster was living in a Nebraska lake, and he was supposed to make excursions out after meat at times. He was so big that the lake went down a foot when he left the water. And this story had millions who believed it with all their hearts.
We laugh as we think of the days when people feared the giants of the forests, and the sea-serpents of the deep. How the human race could fear men with one eye in the center of their forehead, or witches who rode about on broom sticks is to much for our educated brains. Evil spirits mean nothing to us nowadays.
We will not walk under a hadder or break a mirror because it is bad luck. A dog howling at night will cause many an old lady to look over the paper the next morning to see who died. The followers of the world doctrine of Conan Doyle are numbered by the thousands, and mediums flourish in every city by the score. After all we are we far removed from the old superstitions about witches as we think we are?

Much of the weariness among students comes from watching some one else exercise in the movies.
MORE ABOUT EUROPE
In spite of the fact that M. Poincare considers that the governments should remain outside the inquiry in regard to the German debt and let the Reparations Commission settle the matter, the United States enters the controversy with a hopeful attitude.
Coolidge is optimistic and seems to feel that Poincare's refusal to reduce the German debt will in no great measure interfere with the final outcome.
As finally agreed to by England, France, and the United States, the revised Hughes agreement provides for a committee which will contain
one representative from each of the powers. Such a committee will probably have no power to bind any of the governments on any point and will merely investigate Germany's ability to pay and endeavor to find means by which she can pay.
Conditions point toward the committee meeting early in the future, probably in Berlin as that would be the logical center for such an investigation.
A desire to co-operate with the United States is now understood to have been the chief reason for the British government's accepting a program for a restricted reparations conference, absolutely subservient to the Reparations Commission. But the British still resent the French attitude and fear Poincare has limitations which will limit the entire project.
Months ago, perhans the British government could have secured just such an agreement from M. Poincare but they wanted a more powerful body.
It is not yet known whether the results of the investigation will be permitted publication by the commission.
Just what influence such a bound and gagged committee will be able to wield in the settlement of world affairs remains to be seen.
"A piece of my mind" often turns out to be a "piece de resistance" especially where femininity is concerned.
CALL HER DUMB-BELLE Don't call her Dulcy.
Though "Dulcy" may be a perfectly legitimate name for a young lady, the "Dulcy" of the Y. W.C. A.phy by that name is absolutely undeserving of any other name but "Dumb-Belle."
About this time of the year many students bigin to feel low and then they get all conceived about themselves and decide that they are the only perfect dumb-belle in existence. One evening of entertainment by this delightful "Dumb-Belle" and her support cast will be quite apt to raise their spirits and convince them that they can't hold a candle to "Dulce" when it comes to real, downright dumbness.
Already the play has had a successful run in the movies with Constance Talmadge playing the lead.
Not only is it to be a play which one would hate to miss seeing but it is also worthy of student support since it is presented in connection with the W. Y. C. A. finance drive.

"THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH"
In Cambridge the other day an elm tree fell, only a bare trunk, and dead — at that.
But a feeling of sadness swept over the people of America at the passing of a beloved landmark, under whose took command of the Continental spreading branches George Washing-Army almost a century and a half ago.
As "the old order changenig giving place to the new" so the old elm passes on and leaves behind only a young elm tree on the Washington campus and a tabit of stone to mark its former habitation at Cambridge.
But no white tablet of stone can twine itself into the hearts of human beings as did the ancient, knurled and twisted elem.
It would be well for those who are destructively criticizing the K. U. football eleven to consider that the Kannas goal line has not been cross this year. In the light of what other Valley elevens have done since the start of the season, the Clark machine has done remarkably well against teams of more experience and weight.
All excuses are lies. If they weren't, they would be reasons instead of excuses.

should have held a track meet with the first two visitors. The fact of the matter is admitted by close followers of the sport: The Crimean and Blue bumped up against two strong and determined elevens in the Omaha and Stillwater aggregations. The Creightonians are foes to be reckoned on with the gridiron, and the Sonner Aggies demonstrated their ability to take care of themeses against Bennie Owen's team last Saturday. And Bennie Owen is reputed to have a much stronger eleven that he had last season.
A comparison of Kansas' record with a few other Conference schools will suffice; Kansas has two victories and two ties; Nebraska, usually the dominant figure in Valley football, has drawn one victory, two ties, and one defeat; Oklahoma likewise admits one defeat, but has challied up two victories; Missouri has fared even worse, two defeats, one victory, one tie; and the Argies, under the capable coaching of Bachman, has had to be satisfied with two victories out of four contests, the other two being ties.
This is taking into account game played both in the Valley and outside of the Valley. If K. U. had done the usual thing and scheduled a couple of practice games against school teams with admitted inferior football teams, she would have started the season with a rush. But she didn't.
It would be well for the kicker to keep these facts in mind. Get behind and push. The team needs the support of the whole student body.

Campus Opinion
Dear Editor:
Kansas City has an Optimists' Club. That is all right for Kansas City but it would never last on the Hill after the first six weeks.
In the editorial section of the Sunday Kansas an article appeared relative to the youthful age at which a high school student from Columbia. It was stated that in order for the young man to commit such a crime he had to be a Mamma's boy, a Book Worm, a Mammal, and all sorts of things.

"Won't that Tiger Wail"
But on the other hand, why is it that so many of our gallant young men and our cute young indies are sent home at the end of the first semester and others spend from five to ten years there? Did Slesy did in three at a great University? Perhaps Columbia is too easy or Kanas too hard; or again, perhaps too many Kanans take part in outings similar to Nebraska's, so that they may have a good time and be author of the editorial remarks.

At the Dad's Day Banquet roses were given as favors to the mothers. There happened to be two University girls at the airfare who were unaccompanied by their parents. One of the girls was hardly visible under the dress, while the other son who was distributing the rose approached this pair, she hesitated, not quite certain as to whether the weaver of the haze hat, was her girl's mother. The girl noticed and quick as a flash muddled her companion and said, "What time is it, the flower?"—"Mother" was given; a rose."

GRID=GRAPH
Works Perfectly
The Oklahoma game will be shown as clearly and effectively as was the Nebraska game. Three of our own sophomores learned to operate the Grid Graph and one of them operated it so well during the third quarter that the crowd could not tell his work from that of the company expert.
The Grid Graph is mechanically perfect and excellently adapted to reproduce the game play by play before your eyes. The position of the ball, the path of the player, the angle of kicks and other items of interest will be shown almost as vividly as they will appear to the crowd at Norman.
