MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1923 All the green ones are not found in the freshman ranks at college. There is the tourist on the observation car who asked which way to the dinner. THE WORLD GOES BACK TO SCHOOL The world goes back to school this month. University and college sites over the country are the gathering centers for thousands of young people. On our own campus new faces appear with the old. New buildings rears themselves among those we have known. New faculty members take their places among those with whom we are familiar. but it is stuff K. U.; the same spirit that carried us through last year and all the years that have gone before is here today to bind up the new with the old, and to perpetuate the traditions that make us proud. A K. U. STANDARD It's an ill wind that blows nobly good. Chinese students at the University of Columbia have been earning more than their college expenses by tutoring New York society people in playing "Mah Jong." The "Rock Chalk" is known wherever a K. U. alumnus is known. It has gained fame up and down the length of the Missouri Valley; traveling Jawahyers have carried it far and wide. We have K. U. traditions; we are proud of our athletic victories; and proud that we can lose as well as win. But nowhere do we hear about a K. U. standard. The indefinite something that rules a "Yale man will not do that," or a "Vassar woman would never do this" is lacking on our own campus, or else it has never found expression. Our standard—what, well is it? Ask a Freshman. He has never been told. Ask a Senior. He does not know. There are practices prevalent on this campus to which students not only close their eyes, but all the intricacies of which they teach to the newly arrived Freshman. "Cribbing" receives official sanction by some of those who have spent four years here. Notebooks for years past are resorted to. The popular slogan is to "get by" with a minimum of effort on the part of the student. Is it not time we changed all this? It does not lie in official ruling, nor in faculty action. It lies with us, the students of the University. We can make the name of the University of Kansas known over the country for fair play and honest work, even as it is already known for sportmanship and clean athletics. And there is no time for a starting so propitious as the first of the year. Talk about alumni loyalty, here's a case that merits attention. A member of the class of 1656 recently established a scholarship at Harvard. He was William Stoughton, who died 222 years ago and left the school some land. Irregularities in management have delayed the scholarship fund from the income until last year. PROPAGANDA AGAINST UNIVERSITIES Whence comes the propaganda directed today against state universities. Why is college life picture to the outsider as one vast succession of social activities, snobbishness, neo-democracy, and loose morals, if not entire lack of them? Of course, there may be an unadurable element in university circles. What community of three or four thousand persons lacks such an element? But as a community is not judged by the presence in it of a few such people, neither should a university be judged by the publicity given to a few of its less representative members. The members of the university body, itself, know not to credit such stories. But there are many on the outside whose experience has not dealt with the university, who hear and believe. In fairness to the university student, won't some enterprising author write a novel or edit a magazine tending to show the other side of university life, the honest endearment and the sincere purpose which have sent so many people to the university, to work along side of and bear the burden of that other distinctly smaller class of persons who come for the good time we hear so much about? Y, M. C, A. workers at K. U. have reason to be thankful when they find themselves confronted with the task of making out a budget. Suppose they were in Russia where they must make provisions for clothing about 19,000 students and professors daily, and where a suit of clothes costs 1,000,000 rubles. ONLY A MILLION DOLLARS And ninety thousand people went home, satisfied or not, as their interests happened to lie. How the powers that keep a watchful eye on mere mortals must have smiled! In Japan, a million dollars would have built homes for some of the many homeless there. In scientific circles a million dollars would have meant undreamed of progress. But America, or some of it, choose to spend that million dollars to watch one man knock another out in three minutes and fifty-six seconds. And so we may as well smile, too. IT USED TO BE It used to be that jazz did not flavor the music of the day. Songs then were purer, more truly musical; there were none with the rhbal music, the exciting syncopation which has become the dominant note in present-day music. So say the people of an older generation. And they cite such things as "Maw," and "Yes, We Have No Murals" and "Man," Gallinger and Mr. Shen" to prove their contention. They are carefully selective when they cite instances of the better music of their day. They would have to be, else they might find such things, popular in that older, better day, as "You'll Look Sweet Upon The Seat of a City-Built Built for Two," or upon some other of the maudlin sentimental songs of that older time. One Student: Did you get your bonus? Vocational Student: No, Henry Ford got it. Plain Tales From The Hill Several students who acted as chauqua platform managers this summer are now petitioning for three hours credit in oral interp. About as bad as the college fellow who tried to get gym credit for his physical exertions in the harvest field. Wised Frost: (Who had been told about campus keys, chapel tickets, etc.) You can pull that stuff with what do you think I am, some animal? Upper classman: Say Fresh, have you been registered yet? PROTCH About the only persons the Plain Tales editor knows whose pull brings big returns in the dentist. Action: Enter; Ford truck-run-to-carry-all with gorgeous fraternity cost-of-barma painted on sides of the bed. Get in and enter her enroute for the woolly west. The stop is made for a drink for the car. Spoken Part: (Voces of five husky sons and daughter of the soil) Ma, Mr. Waltkins the medical newman. OUR POINTED PARAGRAPH The College Tailor Have you noticed the new swinger English suits that some of the progressive ones are now wearing, plucked trousers, short vest and all? Well half of them are now wearing tight-fitting shoes. They should wear suspenders with them. Some are trying belts. Vanity fair decrees that. Yes, old fashioned gallusas. Now, can you guess why the high waisted trousers? Well we know they are suspender factories back east have to migrate in business on account of the new generation and their belts. Even the policemen threatened to discard the faithful and treasonful "gallus." Well, in England they don't wear suspenders, but they are built for suspenders. Now, can you guess why the English influence? Scene: Farmyard in Western Kansas. Another thing we have figured out. That is why fellows oil their heads. Well here is how it is: Hat and cap manufacturers decided that their business could increase, but there must be some worked out to Everyone Meets At Shining Parlor Next To Bricks' CHARLIES' —Candies —Ice Cream —Sodas We Call For and Deliver Shoes Luncheonette Service 833 Mass.

They found out that oil and caps and hats lided each other. That a hat resting on a well oiled head would absorb most of the oil. This in a short time would spoil the looks of the hat or cap and a new one needed. Now they got some of the big movie actors to war oil. Of course the male public would fall for this and did.
