WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1923
THE CROWDED GYM
The need for a new auditorium was brought home to the members of the Ways and Means Committee of the Kansas legislature this morning, when these lawmakers were guests of honor at an all-University convocation. The cramped, crowded condition of Robinson Gymnasium makes any entertainment less enjoyable, and is only the place that K. U. has for a gathering of the student body.
A new auditorium for the University would mean a place that would be suitable for convolutions, and would be of great service to citizens of the state who may not be enrolled as students. The Kansas law-makers who were visitors here today realize this fact and they will undoubtedly carry the word back to their colleagues in Topeka.
A restricted building program for the state this year will mean that only a small appropriation can be allowed, and the money spent for building should be spent wisely. The legislature is the final judge as to where the money will not go, but members of this body cannot fail to see one of the most urgent needs of the University.
FRANKLIN'S ANNIVERSARY
"Students are Star-Crys" read a headline. Now the old folks have statistics for their assertion "that education makes fools."
Today is the two hundred and seventeenth anniversary of the birthday of Benjamin Franklin, born January 17, 1706. Few Americans have received such recognition from so many arts and accomplishments as Benjamin Franklin. His name will always be associated with science, arts, and literature. The story of Franklin's electrical experiment, with his instruments of kites, keys and strings, is an interesting, easy story for children to remember.
Journalism owes that able scholar tribute, for together with constructive work in politics, government and science he successfully dealt in the publication of newspapers. In 1728 he was owner and publisher of the Pennsylvania Gazette, which still exists in magazine form, as the Saturday Evening Post. He left an inheritance to literature in "Poor Richard's Almanac," a book of books and whimsical advice.
In the diplomatic service for the thirteen colonies, Franklin secured money and military service from France, in the revolution against England. Although seldom stressed in American school histories, the statement appears in French texts that, "The ladies of Paris took a lively interest in the old gentleman."
The French army of invasion may not be accomplishment much but when the men receive their salaries in German marks they will at least have the distinction of being the heaviest paid soldiers in the world.
IN THE SOCIETY OF KINGS
It doesn't pay to be a king, especially in Europe. Many a royal son of the continent has been looking for steader and safer employment since
1914. King George of Britain seems to be about the only one left, who really is comfortable on his throne. King George is growing older too, and he has relinquished some of his duties to younger men, who now run the government, while the King takes life easy.
Ex-King Constantine of Greece died January 11, in exile in the neighboring country of Sicily. Twice exiled since 1014, he made a gallant but futile fight to retain his royal mansion.
These are riotous days, and if an kings are planning on assuming active control of their governments, it would be wise for them to stop and reflect on the probable result of such an undertaking. Politicians do not expect to hold the same office for a life time, but kings do. When public opinion turns the tide, the king would find it more inconvenient to pack up and find another job, and another home, than the common politicians. The proper thing seems to be for kings to lay low until this depression is over, or better learn a trade, for democracy seems to be more than a fad.
The Chicago man hit his wife with a chunk of coal and insisted it didn't hurt because it was soft coal. Guess he'll throw her in the cistern next and expect the soft water not to hurt.
THE END OF A SEMESTER
"Some have honors thrust upon them," they used to say, but the average student has merely a bunch of themes thrust upon him these last few weeks and it is doubtful whether much honor will be attached to a steady grind of a week. Dishonor, however, will fall on the heads of those who neglect this big chance of the semester to redeem themselves.
The instructors are not to be blamed, except, perhaps, in a few cases. Most of them have been warning their classes of the approaching demands and for a number of students, this overflow of term papers may be salvation. Now the times when they seemed to be getting by without any effort, "Didn't crack a book or take any notes," they said, come back to the students with startling vividness, as they chew the point off of their pencils, looking for in spirations for three thousand word themes.
If it is the little things that count, maybe a little studying right now would go a long ways towards a final examination grade.
BEAUTY IS TRUTH
There is a beauty, a frail, frail beauty that lures from duty the feet of youth. Eagerly, blindly, we follow after her trailing laughter and
Oh, sweeter than Circe's her voice is calling
Her trailing laughter—and call it Truth.
And ever falling on hearts a-flame,
And the passions and follies that
youth is made for
Are bartered and paid for, in beauty's name.
There is a beauty, a wrath of beauty.
A phantom beauty we may not hold.
Yet we follow the gleam until spent
and lonely
We find in the end but a weary Bargaining ever with life we treasure story—
A passing glory that fades and dies.
Each gilded pleasure, till, earthly- wise.
The voice that calls him, as beauty's own.
There is a beauty, a charming beauty,
An age-old beauty that men have
known.
Must follow, and falter, till faint and shaken
And each must follow, whate'er befalls him.
His fool's gold taken and gone his worth
We find it only a firefly's gold.
He holds but the shreds of a vanished beauty.
A mocking beauty, that was not Truth.

WANT ADS
At Ottawa, a new pastime is in vogue in the girls' gymnasium classes—spanking. The girls are required to wear a regulation uniform which makes a tie and black hosiery necessary. Sometimes these are forgotten, and the girls must run "the gantlet" to be fashioned. This "running the gauntlet" is supposed to make them remember the next time.

Make the Corona Your Crony
No more tireome use of pens and pencils when you have the modern correspondence typewriter with you wherever you are. Your mind travels faster than the pen.
Most people have little writing they want to do but a great deal of writing they ought to do. Make the mental part of writing more pleasant and the physical part more difficult.
See the NEW CORONA in our window.
Let us explain its new improvements.
