Feminine Fan Admires Artistic Paddle Possessed by Dutiful Disciplinarian of Freshmen
It was a paddle wrought by an artist, nicely rounded, carefully stained, and hand engraved. And he was also a harmless engineer, very serious about his paddle-wielding duties. What shapey stick, how proud he was of it; he was sure it would not fail him at the vital moment—would not fly into splinteres at its first comeback in the area of an offending freshman.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw the junior girl who sat beside him also admiring it. He ventured, "Gee, wasn't that a bully pass?"
"Yes," she assented, "What in the world are you going to do with that cruel blank?"
He regarded the shingle lovingly

and explained that he held it in the hand of ditty, and not trechnerey.
"It is a beauty," she agreed. "It looks so good." "It." Of course he would, and did.
But when the "half up" had been called, the paddle became a part necessary to his business equipment. His urgent request for the return of the property made it impossible for 'er to refuse.
While the brave engineer was warming the shivering freshmen, he did not forget the other devoted admirer of his paddle, for when he returned to his son he handed him a "beautifully inscribed" note. "I thought this one would be just as well for you to paste in your memory book."
A waiter's opinion is a little thing — but little things count. Savings banks, our grandparents, and all sorts of popular slagons announce it reportedly, removingly, and alliteratively, and a K. U. student dining in the Kansas City union station last week-end decided they were right.

Perplexes Student
One dollar and twenty-five cents—that was what her check said, plainly and undeniably. She studied it carefully as she fingered over her finger-howl. The dinner crowd in the Harvey House restaurant moved around her unnoticed. Her attention was on the counter, the occasional half-guilty side glance at the attentive waiter who hovered about.
Then, as she could find no further excuse to delay, she reached a tentacle her hand into her purse, but she did not notice, all too sure of what she would find
There they were—the cardboard square that was her ticket home, the silver dollar, and the two quarters. The ticket would take her to the plane and one of the quarriers would pick the check; and the other quarter—
No one would meet her when she reached home; she lived six blocks from the station; her bag was not a fur fare was just a quartar and yet—
There stood the attentive waiter.
A sigh, a smile, and then—the

into the proffered tray.
Yes, a waiter's opinion is a little thing.
Nation Needs Musical Life
Choral Singing Praised in Radio Talk by Swarthout
"One of the surest ways for a community to be thoroughly musical is for that community, as far as possible, to create from its own people its musical life," declared Chris Haughton from the Kansas City Star broadcasting station, WDAF, Monday evening. "It is not enough," he continued, "that we should hear *great artists* or allow the radio or victoria musical program. A nation to be throughly musical must create music.
"Stoney" Wall, captain of the Southwestern College football team, was a guest of he Pi Kappa Alpha day, for the Kansas-Argie game.
"People in many communities feel the need of a choral society. Such an organization can be formed which includes the winter, preparing for a great concert in the spring. First class chorus work should be taken up by the smaller communities while the larger ones prepare for larger cities," said Dean Swarthout.
"Before the world war, a wave of community singing swept the country that may have had some influence in uniting the country against a common foe. The first great encampment was at Dover. The singing is not over. A committee is at work at the present time to send about twenty well known songs throughout the country. It is hoped that the people will learn at least six such acts each with the aid of a printed text there those songs can be sung.
Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Mussie of Independence, visited their daughter, Mary, Friday and Saturday and attended the football game.
Bonar Law Died Early Today at London Residence
Ex-Prime Minister's Death Follows Long Sickness; Pneumonia the
Cause
Historical Presidency
London, Oct. 13. The Right Honorable Andrew Bonar Law, prime minister of Great Britain from October 1922, to May, 1923, died in his residence in London at 2:30 a.m. today.
Death followed a lice but frutile
lightness in England and on the
Continent in an effort to regain his
health, shattered by his duties as chief of the British State during one
most trying periods in its history.
He had been ill for many months. The cause of death was given as septic pneumonia.
Born Law really sacrificed his life for his country. He knew he was signing his own death warrant when he took over the strenuous duties of the premiership after the resignation of David Lloyd Georges last year.
Held Admiration of Countrymen
the passing of Bonar Law,
although not unexpected, caused pro-
spectors to wonder when it was announced in the newspapers, for he held the affection and admiration of his fellow-countrymen, regardless of political faith, as have found statutes in recent years.
Bulletin Intimates Death
The first intimation that death might be near was contained in a chytrisman's bulletin. Friday which the minister of justice minister had suffered a relapse, and that has condition was serious.
The situation at that time, however, was such that Bonar Law felt his own life of little importance and need to take a permanent adjustment to take up public life again.
On Saturday the newspapers said that pneumonia had developed and that the doctors fenced Borat Law could not live two weeks.
Bonar Law was born in New Brunswick, September 16, 1858.

Spectators Taking Short Cuts From K.U.-Aggie Game Find Special Privileges Are Costly
The battle of the two Kansas teams was over; for sixty minutes of actual play, and with almost the same amount of time taken out for recovery from injuries, twenty-two of the cream of men from the two largest of state teams had matched brains and brawn, and now the final gun had sounded. Another tie game was written into the pages of this year's Missouri Valley conference, and the third tie of twenty-eight football games played between the University of Kansas and National College was, but a memory.
The thousands of spectators in both stands aod and stong the "Alma Mater," followed by a final Rock Chick, and then for the exits. Some have been taken to help over the fence and thus save time by cutting across the field to

Some took it upon themselves to hatch daringly over, disregarding the Indian boys, only to be led back into the house when a little arguing might be of avail.
"Why there's a fellow coming across from the other side," said one of these arguers, "why can't we do it as well as he can?"
"Yes, if you had given as much for humanity as that fellow, you could cut across anybody's field."
One of the guards turned around, saw the figure coming across the field, and relied.
The person coming across the field was a World War veteran, who had given a leg as sacrifice and was hobbling along on crutches.

The Kansas-Aggie game Saturday, to the score board and press box.
