MONDAY, MARCH 12. 1923
The M. U, band, in its perc concert will broadcast, "Old K. U. Ain't What She Used to Be." What must she have been before?
HOW MUCH?
What is my part in the K. U. Million Dollar Memorial? How much can I give to the Stadium-Union firm? These are the questions that every student asked and answered for himself two years ago—answered with such loyalty and generosity that more than $160,000 was raised on the campus in one week.
And today the same questions confront approximately one-half the students at the University. More than 2,000 students and faculty members are making an honest attempt to meet the problem in a way that will be fair both to themselves and K, U, and her traditions. For with this, as with every question there are two sides.
It is the rankest folly to urge one, in subscribing to any cause, to go far beyond his means. Blind devotion to an institution and reasonless generosity in pleading funds are inspiring; but such a subscription is likely to be far less substantial than the one from the man who weighs the matter carefully and pledges an amount that he can pay. In every campus campaign for the Memorial, Chancellor Lindley has urged students to subserve all that their permits permit, but no more.
It is impossible, of course, to fix an exact uniform sum that each student should give to the fund; for some $00 is as just an amount as $5 is for others. But there is one thing that must be considered by each donor that the subscription may be just six times as large as seems possible at first thought. Subscriptions are to be met in six payments scattered over a period of three years.
When the Memorial project was launched two years ago, students came to the initial convoction wondering how they were going to score $5 or $10 for the fund. Before they left the gymnasium that day most of them had subscribed ten times those figures. The payment plan, explained then for the first time, allowed them to think in big figures.
Then, to each of the 2,000, we can only say that your problem should be met only by careful reasoning, bearing in mind the considerations already pointed out, but remembering always that it will mean a great deal t, you now and in later years to know that you are a stock-holder in the Fanas Memorial.
It is interesting to note that in the notice of the University of Pennsylvania Rails sent out last week that this paragraph regarding relay entries closes with the sentence, "Chicago, Kansas and other western schools will have strong entries." That one sentence bears a significance not fully realized by many track followers—the significance that in the past few years Kansas has forcedly to the front in track activities and has attained a respected place among the large schools of the country.
The proposed plan by which the funds of campus organizations be handled by an all-University accountant is one which merits thought: student consideration.
YOUR MONEY
It is systematic and businesslike. Through its system of detailed monthly reports, it will give great publicity to the financial affairs of campus organizations that now are criticised because their business is not understood by the students. Through its system of paying all bills by check drawn upon the all-University accountant, it will eliminate the paying of bills by cash. This will preclude the possibility of situations arising such as now threaten to prevent the presentation of certain University functions which are nearly as old as K. U. itself.
It is proposed that the salary of the all-University accountant be paid by levying a small service charge upon the $75,000 or $100,000 that passes through his hands each year. This would need not amount to more than two or three percent.
There is no legal restriction upon the loaning of this student money upon good security for short term loans. Of course, no sum like $75,000 would be in the general fund at one time, but interest payments during the year would pay a large part of the accountant's salary. The ability to partially pay its own way without the prospect of added expense, must be considered as one of the strongest arguments favoring the new scheme for handling campus funds.
Disposal of the cold cash evidently gave the Sig Alph thieves the cold feet.
THE PONY-RIDER
The eribler creates a false standard of scholarship. He is selling false goods which look better than the real. The professor, the buyer of the goods, has few reliable tests to distinguish the true from the false. As a result, he sets his standards arbitrarily and makes his judgments arbitrarily, because he has no other choice. He must judge by what is in the quiz book. He is not free to base his grade upon conjectures regarding the manner by which the answers were transferred to the uges of the examination booklet.
The student who depends entirely upon his brains and not his manual dexterity in manipulating complicated ropes, is usually the best type of student and needs little protection. There is a type of student, however, who is unwilling to chest, but who might save a flunk if he would do so. This is the student who suffers most at the hands of the cheater. He is forced into the bottom ranks because of his honesty; his sense of right penalizes him. In some courses where the instructor worships the "distribution curve" and is devoted to the idea that a certain percent of the students must flunk, the criber forces honest students over the ragged edge into the flunk zone.
The cribber rides his pony to a high grade in the finals while his classmate who spurs that aid to scholarship, trudges hopefully down the road in the dust kicked up by the pony's heels. The pony-rider is unfair to his classmates.
If Charlie Chaplin has the choice of weapons in his coming duel with Pola Negri's ex-husband he will probably choose custard pies at fifty yards.
Fried much apparently is to become New York's premier delicacy. The Globe offers two receipts in the same column.
Now that the Swedish government is to tax fat people, will the skinny ones get dividends?
Now that Princess Mary's child has been named, we can settle down again to read the other war news.
The radium market has gone to pot. It costs only $29,500,000 a pound now.
An investigation is to be carried on to see if rubber really can be grown in America. Someone may have stretched the truth.
Henry J. Allen, former governor of Kansas, has applied to the clerk of the federal court at Wichita for passports to Europe for himself and his daughter, Hortense, f2. 22. They will be in Paris and London, 20. All the principal countries of Europe will be visited by Mr. Allen and his daughter.

Fred C. Campbell, fs '82-87, was a visitor on the campus over the week end. In 86 and 87 Mr. Campbell played on the varsity basketball team.

"It Pays to Swim With the Current"
This is about two spark plugs. At the moment they are lying on the sales manager's desk in the establishment of a large middle-western hardware jobber.
One spark plug bears a name known wherever automobiles are used, the other a name seldom heard.
Both, says the sales manager, are good plugs. On the score of quality they run neck and neck.
$ "Our job," said one jobber, "is to supply markets, not create them. Let the manufacturer make a market for his goods, and we will handle it."
"But," he adds, "we are discontinuing this line"—and he holds up the plug of unfamiliar name. "Yes, and our discount on it is larger, too."
$More and more jobbers in every line of business are learning every day that it pays to swim with the current of popular demand.
"What's wrong with it? Not a thing. It's a good plug—mighty good plug but—no one knows about it. It isn't advertised—the other one is. The demand is for the advertised make. And we've learned it pays to swim with the current, not against it."
'Said another—"Our salesmen carry a catalog with thousands of items in it. They haven't the time to push unadvertised goods. Their work is principally taking orders."
If you go among these wholesalers today to introduce a new product in competition with merchandise nationally advertised, unless the article is exceptional, you will be met everywhere by the injunction: "First go out and get a reputation for your goods through advertising."
fThe wholesaler knows by actual contact with dealers how they value speed of turnover, goods which move with a minimum of effort, goods people know about and ask for.
