Retweet as second-dead mall master stepfather, James F. Barr, 69, passed away, Kansas, under the act of March 15th, week and on Sunday morning by student in the hospital. He was last seen at work and on Sunday morning by students in the hospital. The press of the Department of Journalism on Friday noted:

The Daily Kaiman aims to picture the undergraduate students further than merely presenting the muse by standing for the faculty. In order to be clearer about the role, he is to be clearer; to be helpful; to be more serious; to be more serious problems in water hand
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 1923
Some people say so many thing that they can not avoid saying something clever occasionally.
ACTIVITY TICKETS
Do the majority of the students of the University feel that the present price of student activity tickets is prohibitive, or do they merely lack interest in school activities?
With an enrollment of approximately 1,000 and a sale of only 1,000 activity tickets at the close of the first week, there must be some explanation in a school where the students are as loyal to school interests as are the students of the University.
The $10 which is being asked for student activity tickets is more than has been asked in the past years, but it is lower than the price of such tickets in some other universities, and some schools, moreover, require students to purchase them.
If we hope for a victorious year in athletics, would it not lend courage to our teams to be backed by every student of the University?
The price of the tickets may seem large, especially at the beginning of the year when there are so many demands for money, but it will be money well spent in the interest it will give the student in the activities of his own school.
THE WORLD WAITS
We suppose that the man seen in the Kansas City post office the other morning in a dress suit was only waiting for his diploma from the correspondence school.
Opinions on the situation differ. Some say it is the inevitable working out of retributive justice; some say it is the completion of a cruel policy to grind to bits an already defeated nation.
"Kamarad," the old cry of 70 years ago, rang out over the Ruhr yesterday where railways rusted and machines grew gray with dust. Germany had surrendered, and passive resistance was at an end.
However that may be, the abandonment of the policy of passive resistance is a vital economic and moral factor in the future of the world.
It is another significant event in the Great War, for the situation today is a continuation of the events of 1914-1918. Not the future of Germany, nor the future of France, nor of Europe, but of America and every other country is vitally concerned in this new phenomenon.
Passive resistance is at an end. Germany has surrendered. The world waits for the next development; for the world at large is concerned
To be clever, you need not be original. Merely quote your witty friends judiciously.
THE PRIMARY URGE
Excavators are at work on the tome of Tut-Ankhamen; geologists are charting the unexplored regions of the Grand Canyon; fur-cled adventurers are braving the wilds of the north with its attendant hardships; explorers are penetrating the dark fast nesses of the African jungle.
why do men subject themselves to dangers and hardships, renouncing the comforts of leisurely life, and perhaps, dying with their goals unattained?
It is the old urge that sent men a thousand years ago in tiny crafts out on the unmapped seas. It is the old impulse that found fruit in the discovery of the new worlds and new peoples and new opportunities.
It is in short, one of the fundamentals of human nature, unchanged through centuries, the quest of the unknown.
Luther Burbank would be out of a job if a certain Hill man knew as much about planting seeds as they do about planting pins.
RETRIBUTION AND THE FEUD
A coroner's jury in a Missouri town yesterday acquitted a man for the accidental murder of a non-participant in a family feud. The bullet was directed toward a member of the other family, but it went astray. The person for whom it was intended is living today; the person innocent of any thought of violence is dead.
Depulprobe as that may be, the sadest part of the whole case lies in the fact that in an age like this, where courts exist to provide justice as nearly as human hands can do it, there should be feuds. Feuds are a hold-over from the days when individual satisfaction was the only law.
Those days are past. The state attempts to regulate justice. It may fail sometimes but the taking over of that power by the individual can never do more than weaken it further. From the dark days of retribution to the present days of organized courts is a long journey, and episodes such as the Missouri feud are only stumbling blocks in the way.
People are now coming home to res after their summer vacations.
SCIENCE AND LITTLE THINGS
Evidence of the existence of man during the Miocene period something more than a million years ago was produced at the meeting of the British Association for the Advancement of Science recently. A pile of paper a foot high was used recently by an astronomer in computing the angle at which a telescope must be pointed to measure the distance of a minor planet.
To the man who does not appreciate science, such things seem useless. Of what use, he asks, to study about the people who lived a million years ago, when, after all, much of it must be guess work, and certainly not significant to us of today? Of what use, he wonders, to spend one's life in the study of a minor planet which cannot possibly add to life on this planet?
Such a man forgets, however, that most of the classified knowledge in the world today came about through the study of devoted men who spent their lives in studying questions which have been later acknowledged to have been significant.
Perhaps we can learn little of direct value from the remains of life a million years ago. But geographic and economic science, an understanding of world population, are only a few of the many factors bound up and interested in that matter. Perhaps facts about that minor planet will help us but little. Yet, astronomy, the most exact science we have, was built on such studies, and was able to compute an ellipse of the sun, and to foretell it to the very second when it would occur.
In science, as in so many other things, no matter is too minor for consideration.

On all sides we hear the call for co-operation, for organization in order to gain desired ends. But can't there be such a thing as over-organization on our own campus? Each little group has its own separate function, of course, and performs its own little service for the Hill and its residents (and has its own little pin). But aren't some of these groups similar enough in purpose to combine and form one large group?
A Horrible Example
Each of the thirty-five social organizations on the Hill urges its members to "go out for activities." Often this amounts to a "pin massacre." Each brave brother and sister strives to outdo every other in his collection of gold and near and copper, decorations.
We have thirty honorary and professional organizations. Some of them take only departmental majors; others don't. There are over seventeen departmental majors in the university who has had one course in these groups, and eighteen other organizations neither departmental nor social. One student may belong to several in each of these groups. These students are published entirely by student staffs. There are class and council offices one may hold.
At present there is no restriction on the number of organizations one may belong to, nor on the number of pieces of metal used for vest decorations. Let us take an average student as an examiner and tell him that activities she would be allowed to take part in if she were cannable.
If she is a journalist, she belongs to the Press Club. The Tata Sigma Phi and the Kaanan Board. Since she is a journalist, she belongs to the group of writing and belongs to Quill Club and Rhadamanthi, in the Jayhawk staff, and helps
put out the Oread Magazine. She belongs to a social organization, Y. W. C. A., an officer in W. S. G. A., and active in W. A. A.
She joined the Botany Club in her freshman year and the Sociology Club in the sophomore year. And if she is going to take the real gifts and accomplishments, she also belongs to the Glee Club, to the Dramatic Club, Delta Sigma Rho Tau Sigma, or both. Forona, she must also certainly be interested in current events.
There are left-Torch, Phi Beta Kappa, and Pi Lambda Sigma to anticipate in her junior and senior years, making a total of twenty-two activities participated in during her college career. When did she study? She didn't, even though she made Phi Beta Kappa, because she is a Horrible Example of What Might Happen.

Two hundred and fifty special delivery letters were delivered in Columbia the day the University of Missouri opened. The day following, the first "rush" day among fraternities and sororities, even more important. Two men were kept on duty to deliver nothing but specials.

Eversharp and Wahl Pen are America's finestworking and best-liked pen and pen. When you buy these two you acquire writing companies for life.
Eversharp was the first successful mechanical pencil—and its features can't be copied. Eversharp lead never wobbles—the exclusive rifted tip holds it absolutely firm. The automatic stroke is precise, too. And Eversharp craftsmanship gives a balance to the pencil that suits your hand perfectly.
Wald Pen in all-metal is the outstanding fountain pen achievement. The all-metal barrel cannot crack or split. You fill it less often because it holds more ink. And it will last a longer.
Everssharp and Wahl Pen are essential in school, in college end in business. Buy both, in gold or silver. Eversharp, $1 to $10; Wahl Pen, $1 to $10. Solid gold at higher prices.
The New Wald Pen, engine-turned in jet-black rubber, is the best looking and most practical rubber fountain pen you have ever seen. Price $2.50 up.
