WEDNESDAY, NOV. 22, 1922. It takes sixty-five muscles of the face to make a frown, thirteen to make a smile. This is a good point to follow in this day of labor saving devices. INITIATORY COURSE FOR FRESHMEN Considerable argument has been raised recently by many universities and colleges favoring initiatory courses for freshmen, with the hope of better fitting the first year student to cope with the new life he is about to enter. Various plans have been outlined covering every phase of information that a freshman should know about, such as school traditions, history of athletics, ideals, and everyday knowledge needed so badly upon any college campus. There is no doubt that a system of this kind is needed in the average college and university, for now the first year student is left to his own resources to gain any information concerning what his school stands for. This means that it will take the average student from one to two years to learn his school, and certainly he must know the traditions and ideals of his Alma Mater before he can appreciate it to the fullest extent Chancellor Lindley no doubt had an idea of this nature in his mind when he started the Freshman Lectures, two years ago. But this system failed because the chancellor found it impossible for him to keep his lecture dates. Perhaps a more ideal plan would be to have these courses during the first week of school, or perhaps the freshmen could register one week early and thus avoid interference with the regular schedule. Initiatory courses covering some of the most important but "unwritten" laws and traditions of the school would be of great value in that the first year student body would be more enlightened, and by having some idea of what was expected of them as college and university students, their work would be on a higher plane. AMERICA WILL SPEAK The Lausanne conference to settle the series of wars in the Near East has opened, and from all indications the United States government will take a very active part in the meeting. Richard Washburn Child, American ambassador to Italy and Joseph C. Grew, American minister to Switzerland will attend all the sessions. Rear Admiral Bristol, U. S. N. will also join them later. The United States did not declare war on Turkey, and is not represented at Lausanne to take part in the revision of the treaty of Swerve, but Uncle Sam has a distinct interest in the Turkish question and the freedom of the Dardanelles. And it is for this reason that our representatives will speak, and speak vigorously when the occasion demands. They will insist upon every right of participation enjoyed by other countries in all matters except actual voting. It is not in keeping with the policy of the United States to sit idly by and allow other world powers to dispose of the future of the Turkish state without at least exerting what America believes to be a moral influence. The Baltimore chapter of Randolph-Macon Alumnae Association is earning $100 a member for a Memorial pledge by blacking shoes in a downtown store. This is going to work a terrible hardship on the manicure girls after closing hours. THE SUPREME COURT IS LOSER "To thou shall not spend more than thou earnest," has come to be known as the thirteenth commandment and one of the most disregarded of all. When a man is found that openly and at sacrifice of personal ambition obeys this command, he is worthy of the respect of his fellow countrymen. Such a man has been found in the person of John W. Davis, former ambassador to Great Britain. This man has just refused an appointment to the Supreme Court to fill the vacancy left by the retirement of Associate Justice Day. While in the diplomatic service, Mr. Davis was compelled to borrow large sums in order to maintain his required establishment in London and for this reason he feels honor bound to refuse further public posts. Were he so inclined, he could easily trust to his numerous friends to see him through but he is a man of such honor that he can not conscientiously do this. Plain Tales From The Hill The fourth annual convention of the Kansas Bar Association is now in session at Salina for the purpose of revising the state statutes. This process has not been gone through since 1868. Our Kansas lawyers will resemble gardeners when they get all this mess scraped off. Freshman English student: "Oh, I have to write a specific detail and I can't." Wise student; "That easy. When P! was a pup they specifically detailed him." Heard on the campus. "But you must write to your mother oftener dear. "But how can I? I will have to telegraph mother to send me money before I can buy stamp."

Late Thursday night a man was seen leaving town with a large ape on the automobile seat beside him. He had audited to call the cell carefully. It was in Spanish "2" class. A certain individual had been asleep for nearly all the period. The class had finished the translation and were discussing the mysteries of grammar. He read a book about sleeping beauty jabbed him savagely, opened his book for him and pointed meaningly to a certain paragraph of Spanish. Abruptly the sleeper was all attention. He commenced to translate it. He continued to understand yet how he nearly broke up a perfectly good class. Heard in section G, during the game Saturday, after Kansas had been penalized several times, "Colorado toaked at times," the Grower carrying the ball." Some wide-awake student reported that the bird bath on the campus was frozen over this morning. Now is the time for some one to earn undying fame for himself by suggesting that the University have woken up to so that the poor birds may not be denied of their daily plunge. A certain young man walked into a shoe repair shop down town: "I want some rubber heels," he told the repair man. "Tan?!" asked the man who was rather near-sighted as he examined the shoes. "No, eights," the young man corrected him with great dignity. Another job that we are not envious if these cold mornings is that of the ce man.
