THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1923
This country consumes 70 per cent of the world's crude rubber. It looks as if "After Every Meal" has been a good advertising slogan.
The two martyrs saints in whose honor we have set aside Feb. 14 as a day of celebration, probably would turn in their graves if they could see how sentiment has been lowered.
VALENTINE'S DAY
In the Middle Ages, Feb. 14 was especially consecrated to lovers and tokens were exchanged by them. The heart, which has been an important feature of valentines even since modern times, was originated as a symbol of their affections.
Looking over a group of valentines now on sale, one may find the same underlying sentiment, but the change of expression it has undergone! In place of the heart, there are mouse-traps, encumbrans, prunes, dacks, and almost anything to which a bit of sentiment may be attached. The pretty verses read like this: "I'm willing to be caught because you're the whole cheese," and "Oh, you prune, I'll teach you how to spoon."
If the old fashioned valentine box still exists, how proud parents must be to see the miscellaneous collections of household utensils and fruits, with verses to rhyme, which the children exchange as tokens of friendship.
Milady, to be fashionable, must select her smokes to harmonize with her gowns, according to New York modifies. The ladies are behind the times. The average Bull Durham smoker's vest has for years harmonized with his tobacco.
THE JUNIOR PROM
For the first time since the custom was established, there may be no Junior Prom this year. A deficit in the treasury of the present junior class, incurred by the Sophomore Hop must be made up before sanction for the year's biggest party can be had. Of the "why or whereof" of the deficit, no one is certain, but it is at least evident that the plans for the party were haphazard, and that unnecessary expenses in the decorating and the "ensil" helped to create it. The Soph Hop was well attended last year. It should have broken even, at least. The authorities have ruled that the debt must be made up before another function can be given by this particular class. In short, the class must assess itself the sum to cover the shortage. To some of the members of the class such a method may seem harash, but it is the only logical way. The sophomore class of last year was represented by a Hop manager who ordered the entertainment and the preparations. If the class did not know of the expenses, it had the privilege of inquiring.
In the future, such deficits should not occur. New rulings require that plans for the party must be submitted to the Men's Student Council for approval before such a party can be given under the name of the class. Too often in the past have Jayhawkers, Proms, and other such enterprises been managed in the name of the class for other than class honor or gain.
Some interest on the part of the individual members of the classes for the various functions which they have been allowed to enjoy may serve to aid those who would prevent defeits and disappointments. The funnions should make up the shortage for which the whole class is responsible Then the class can have the Proor with the assurance of responsible supervision.
Mhattan has a taxi war. The city is not considering the calling of a disarmament conference.
FAREWELL, DR. COUE
Dr. Emile Coue, the proponent or auto-suggestion, has returned to his native France, leaving a pleasant taste in the American mouth. In this he differs from some of his compatriots and near neighbors.
For, if reports from the East biree, the doctor did not come to this and for the express purpose of sacking up gold and taking it home with him. What clinics he conducted were ree, and he did not make innumerable lectures, telling people what heought of them in a language they did not understand. He came merely o teach us that we might improve our individual health by a judicious use of those faculties with which the Umhitym endowed us.
Cone did not assert, in fact, he denied—that auto-suggestion was a panacea and a cure for all lilies; that by auto-suggestion the sick, the lame, the halft and the blind could be cured indiscriminately. He taught that mental and physical being could be bettered by the individual with little effort other than believing in it. In this he is right. Everyone knows that auto-suggestion could not cure a case of small pox—common sense teaches that—but it is reasonable to believe that auto-suggestion could create a resistance to those germs be fore they came along.
It is doubtful if any one regrets the coming of the little pharmacist to three shores. He was good-natured and sympathetic, and he left a good taste in the mouth, as said before.
Vive le Dr. Coue!
Headline: "Would revamp pedo treaty."
That method might work—all the others have failed.
GERMAN PRIDE
Germans in the Ruhr declare that their food supply is low and will run out in a few days. Their pride will not permit them to accept food from the French. This attitude is a wonderful triumph of mind over a universal habit—eating. It should call forth the world's admiration for the sterling worth of German character.
The only thing that detracts from this glorious renunciation of the flesh is the statement from one of the German leaders that they will depend upon the American Relief Commission which has promised aid. The American Relief has been the means of saving thousands of lives in war-torn countries, but is has not received gratitude for its efforts. European nations with their own selfish, political ambitions in mind, has cast a suspicious eye on the work of the Commission and charged us with using it for propaganda.
Like all other kinds, international charity breeds dependence in the receiver. There is hardly a nation in Europe which does not feel that America should be helping her. America is the big brother—the Santa Claus of the nations.
Santa Claus is about at the bottom of his pack. He is also beginning to realize that a lot of the time he has been taken advantage of. He shipped wheat to the starving Russians; later he found out that while they were receiving his charisty, the Russians were shipping wheat out their back door—the Volga river. Now the Germans say they will not let France feed them; their pride forblides it. America is going to do it. I can't about time America stopped running an international soap-kitchen? As long as it keeps running, the nations of the world will be in line and complaining about the quality of the fare
The State printer must have the best library in Kansas. Most of K. U.'s books seem to be "at the bindery."
Official Daily University Bulletin
The office of the Dean of Men has records from many of last year's seniors upon which to base recommendations as need arrives. A very helpful source is the "Dean's Recommendations" section.
TO JUNIOR AND SENIOR MEN;
Thursday. February 15. 1923 No. 96
Leave the Dogs at Home
Let this be a warning to the toters of large white bull dogs. The last time the date rule was suspended just one couple was late in getting up from the bed. They lay eggs at the front door, the tote of the dog opened the door a crack and the bull went in to see if the house mother was awake. She was, but the dog feeling the warmth of the room
The work of George Phelps and Lillian Young, as Lee and Elsie, delighted the audience. They seemed to be having "tots of fun" in their dancing and singing acts; their spontaneity and joy was a pleasant change from the satirical theme of the comedy.

The same service will be rendered Juniors and Seniors in all schools of the University this year if they will call at the office in Fraser Hall in the fall.
JOHN R. DYER, Dean of Men
And as the chorus was forgiven so were the ship-worn jokes of Johnnie Fields. Most of his wit was good, the comedian who learns that the American audience and especially the mid-western audience is tired of the prohibition joke will be far, far ahead of his fellow lectors.
the exodus of the Laws—what's left of them—have either been too scared or too busy to whistle their favorite march as the college studes shuffle by. "It's an ill wind that blows nobody good."
Plain Tales From The Hill
The action of "Tangerine" moves swiftly; there are no tedious acts thrown in to kill time. The musical comedy has just the proper amount of zest and punch to make it a success.
Another fire occurring Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock at 515 Mass. destroyed all the clothing of Nick O'Teen, c'41, of Chi. He has withdrawn from school and returned to his home.
BASKETBALL GAME:
The exhibition of etchings by Chicago artists on the third floor of East Administration Building will close at 5:30 Friday afternoon.

COMMONS OPEN AFTER GAME:
Bv Ben Hibbs
Something different was in Lawrence last night. The musical comedy, "Tangerine," at the Bowersock, combined an outlandish thread of plot with fantastic setting in such a way that new law was at once novel and entertaining.
Of course, one had to be in a generous mood to forgive the chorus of "Eight Little Wives" for the serious, business-like manner in which it went on. The chorus goes after the show were willing to wager that some of the girls it, the chorus didn't "crack a smile" during the evening. But if One had to be in a generous mood, it was not a leaver's excuse. If the dever work done by the case
The thing that found more fave, than anything else perhaps was the group of old melodies given by the Ritz Quartet. Without accompaniment the four men sang selection songs in the same number of threes by the anthems.
The 'cast which gave "Tangerine" here is not large, but it has enough life and spirit to more than make up for its lack of numbers. The dancing, singing, and acting of the principals were all good; there were no particularly outstanding voices, but that is hardly to be expected in a school musical. Critcherton and Loretta Sheridan pleased the audiences.
The University Commons will be open after the basketball game Friday evening to serve supper to the teams and will be prepared to give short order meals.
Luke Warm, who said "he didn't care now," as he left for the farm among the other refugees after quizzes, was back today. Luke says he has seen his family but not the other helmsmen who steered him through and out.

On Other Hills
The Student Council of University of West Virginia has undertaken the establishment of a co-operative book store. The store will be located in campus. Students will employ football men who are trying to work their way through school.
The theory of hell has at last been cleared up by Dr. Bailey of the geology department of the University of Southern California. According to it, the rocks in which the Rockefeller interests are stealing the oil and grease which the Lord appointed to lubricate the axels of the earth, and when all of it has gone to get hot, According to it, going to get hot, According to the preacher, that will be hell.
Freshmen at the University' of Iowa are forced to wear green caps all through the year.
Twenty women at the University of Illinois recently signed up for instruction in boxing, thus definitely establishing it as one of the minor sports of the institution. Rifle shooting was recently adopted as a woman's sport when one hundred fifty women reported for practice.
In a census taken at the University of Iowa in regard to studies it was found that non-fraternity men stood on an average of three per cent higher than fraternity men. Sororities and non-sorority women per cent than non-sorority women.
The "Co-ed Hop" at the University of Iowa is a blind date affair. When the upper class woman has drawn a freshman woman's name at the designated place, she will telephone the freshman and suggest the party in the regulated tea-bound style. These are readily accepted and the escort calls for her date at the appointed time and place.
A war on "cake eaters" and "lounge-liars" has been started by twenty-five men at the University of California, who have founded the Lions Club, a national organization pledged not to shave or have a hair cut offener than once every two weeks, believing that in this way the women will be thwarted. One rule was to never member having a date, without at least five associates as chaperones.
Sigma Delta Chi will publish the first comic magazine on the campus of the University of Texas.
Bright students marry bright students and stupid students marry stupid students, according to findings at the University of Washington. The study found that 200 married graduates by the department of psychology. There is no correlation of intelligence between couples at a dance, according to the report, with a man does not choose a dancing partner on account of her intelligence.
There is little about modern or ancient personages, places or characters that Washington's freshmen guessed at the games given by the University
