THURSDAY, NOV. 2, 1922. PROFESSOR TODD Few people knew the quiet unassuming man who was the late Professor Todd for the eminent scientist which he was. His light was not hid on a bushel, and yet he let not his right hand know what his left did—he let those who would know him seek him out. Professor Todd was of the few "starred" men of science—men whose work in this field has been recognized as worthwhile out of the thousands of men in the country in the scientific field. There are not many of us who even knew that a star after a name in Who's Who was indicative of extraordinary work of the person so honored. And even more of us would have been surprised to find out a Professor on the hill had been so successful. It goes back to the age old trujum that a man is not without honor save in his own country. Professor Todd was 76 years old and has been with the University for the past fifteen years. He was one of the oldest professors on the hill and one whose interests and hopes have always been with it. His passing is mourned by his friends for the splendid man they knew him to be and by the University for his scientific attainments and his place in the University. The election is less than a week distant. It is the duty of every citizen to vote, and to vote intelligently. Students of the University of Kansas should be in the vanguard of the movement. Instructions and information will appear in the Daily Kansan covering all questions that may be in the mind of the student body. "ROUGH COOKIES" Every year the University gets its quota of freshmen who are rough—and who know it. They are worldly and want the world to realize that such is the case. Staying up three nights a week until 11 o'clock, using six-inch cigarette holders, and engaging in all of the neighborhood penny-ante games—all these demonstrate their wickedness. When, early in the fall, the "rough cookie" is assigned the stock rhetoric theme, "An Incident of My Life," he takes almost fiennish delight in "shocking" the instructor with accounts of his many expulsions from high school, his sojourn in jail, and the time he was "in on a little party." Soon after coming to the University, the rough person begins going with a K. U. girl; at the same time he is writing love letters to "his very only owner" back in the old home town. With the glint of conquest in his eye, he prences boldly to the mail box, and nonchalency drops in the guilt-fixing epistles. Yes, all the world can see that he is leading a double life. Then, as his degeneration becomes more and more marked, he even goes so far as to break the date rule by sitting on a park bench, eating ekimo pies with his girl at 8:15 o'clock the evening of a week-day. Coming home after such a debacle, he pensively tells his room-mate that his love is wavering—that he knows not which way to turn. Then it is that he considers giving up school and going West "away from it all". In the final stages of his career of crime, he either acquires or borrows a stripped-down Ford race, and succeeds in getting himself halled into police court for speeding. He glories in the fact that the motorcycle officers know his name and are watching for him. It is usually at about this point that he feels the need of a pistol, and purchases an ugly looking weapon at the pawn shop. Sometimes the "rough cookie" period lasts throughout the freshman year. More often it dies a normal death during the first semester, when some upperclassman tells the degenerate that, were his whiskers only black, he might stand some chance of being as "bad" as he had hoped he was. "Big Bill" Haywood, former I. W. W. leader, prefers the Russian army to an American prison. Well, Bill, guess there isn't much difference. SOUTHERN HOSPITALITY Has southern hospitality been over-advertised? The American Legion boys who attended the national convention at New Orleans think that it has. They report that everybody in New Orleans seemed to have gone on a visit. They were "not at home" to the Legion Boys. The latchhats were all pulled in. That genial spirit of Southern hospitality so famed in song, story, drama and verse seemed to be missing. "The Paris of the South" proved to be a very staid and very respectable city. Too darn respectable. Southern hospitality may be providential, but the Legion boys who came back from there think it's an outworn proverb. They came back with an increased pride and respect for the hospitality of the people of the Middle-west. They remember the royal treatment they received at Kansas City last year, and there is a warm spot in their hearts for Kansas City and the Middle-west. It doesn't try to get by on the traditions of the past; it opens its arms and its heart and delivers the goods. An English physiologist now denies the existence of the human soul and ignores immortality. Funny what education will do for some people. The 20th Century Cavalier The 20th Century Cavaler Rushing, worrying, working, playing, always intent on finding his own "place in the sun," our citizen of today often forgets that the things that seems so allImportant now are, after all, only little things that will soon slip out of sight and out of thought, leaving at best but a shallow deposit on the plain of his experience. But such a one only exists. He who truly lives has found life's balance. He knows that though honor and power and success may fade, a cheerful smile, a sympathetic word, a thoughtful kindness, a regard for the feelings of others, are influences that will not fade. Polished manners he may not have, and rules of etiquette may be unknown to him, yet a welcome smile is written on the face of everyone he meets. The noblest knight of all ages is he, the twentieth century cavaler. A late innovation in women's styles is the monogramated hat. Evidently fools' names and fools' faces are to appear together from now on. FACES in the city's broken roof. Faces that I lose so soon And have never found before. How *smiled* I am, and said He to pierced my poor disguise? People that I meet and pass In the city's broken roar, Secrets rushing without sound Crying from your hiding places— Do you know how much you tell In the meeting of our eyes, How ahwamed I am, and sad Let me go. I cannot hear The sorrow of the passing faces, -People in the restions street, Can it be, oh can it be And have never found before. Can it be, on can it be In the meeting of our eyes In the meeting on our trip That you know as much as me? —Sara Tanadale Official Daily University Bulletin ALL-UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION: An All-University Convocation is called for 10 o'clock Friday morning in Robinson Gymnasium. Morning classes will accordingly be shortened to 35 minute periods. Professor Joshi of India and Mr. W. A. Biby, foreign correspondent for Capper Publications, will speak. Vol. II. until 11:00 a. m. Nov. 2, 1922. No. 40. E. H. LINDLEY, Chancellor. On account of the Friday convocation the hour examination in Economics 50 Moneys-scheduled for 10:30 Friday morning is postponed to Monday, November 21. EXAMINATION IN ECONOMICS 50- MONEY—POSTPONEID A. J. BOYNTON, Professor of Economics. COMMITTEE ON VOCATIONS: The University at Palo Alto, California, is to have a filling station on the campus, to save the students trips to town, and to furnish the University cars. Market prices will be charged for gasoline and oil. A meeting of the Committee on Vocations is called for 3:30 Friday after noon in Room, 115 Fresher Hall. A meeting of the Committee noon in Room 113 Fraser Hall. Jayhawk Jargon A class of 1,000 novices received master degrees in Masonry at Convention Hall, Kansas City, Monday. There are no more shortage of bricklayers. A national "forget-me-not" day will be held over the country on November 4 to provide funds for disabled soldiers. It's all right, but they ought to label it "forget-us-nots." If this insanity craze, which is sweeping through criminals condemned to prison continues, they will have to abandon Lansing and concentrate their attention on Osawatomie. We'll wager there is one kind of convention that rival cities don't fight over—the national hobo convention in session now at Columbus, Ohio. Which leads us to remark that the millionaire hobo, James Ends How. is one moneyed man who isn't a "capitain of industry." The probate judge of Wayne County, Mich., claims a record of forty-seven years service on the bench. That's nothing—we know lots of baseball players who can claim a longer record than that. Limings of overcans are going to be fleeced this winter. So are the buyers. When a man, young and unmarried, begins to fortify study the prices in the milliner's window, the marriage announcement in type. comes the report that Mexico has come a new world's record—5000 revolutions per year. We wonder how many R. P. M.'s it can do. The astounding drow in women's sirts makes Lucifer's fall from Heaven look like a parachute descent. A street-car placard reads, "Use Omega Oil first." Freshmen of the Colorado State College have an unique way of punishing their arring brethren. A cold tub hath administered on the campus without the formality of undressing, is the punishment accorded to preps who are caught not wearing their caps or violating other traditions. The women of the University of Washington have a rifle club with eleven members. The club meets Monday and Wednesday afternoons in the armory. Twenty shots are allowed each girl every meeting. On Other Hills Floats of every description, ranging from "Kiddie Kars" and baby carriages to Pierce Arrows and airplanes, will feature the homecoming parade of the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, on November 4. Riding classes at the University of Iowa were initiated this week. Saddling, mounting and dismounting will be taught before any riding is begun. A record of attendance will be kept and grades will be given. Vachel Lindsay, the tramp-post and singer of ballads of the open road, will appear shortly at the University of Pittsburgh, which visited K. U. in the fall of 1921. JOHN R. DYER, Chairman. During intermission at the Notre Dame-Depauw game at S舟 Bend, the spectators were entertained by a burlesque entitled "Football in 1930." The opposing teams were the "Cake Eaters," dressed in clown suits, and the "Tee Honouring" team, dressed in athletic underwear, pink shoulder pads, and striped hose. A slap on the wrist was the equivalent of a diving tackle. Campus Opinion To the Kansan Editor: Recently you suggest the defective democracy of choosing student officers by way of two tickets, nominated by two private, self-perpetuating groups. A primary analogous to that of the tentatively offered as an improvement. As a "Jayhawk Flown" I continue to feel a deep interest in all at the University that relates to government and civics whether theoretical or practical. I have long regretted that the student body should be followers, and that too afar, rather than leaders in such matters. New ideas are studied in the classes on history, politics, and government. Where can they be better tested out than in a select body of the general intelligence of the 5000 students of the University of Kansas? Why not blaze a new trail? Why not provide a way at once simple, democratic, inexpensive? Hold one election. Use the preferential ballot. Set some reasonable number of signatures as necessary to get a name on the ballot for any office. Let two or twenty run for each office. Give each voter the option to mark his/her vote for the winner. A numerical number 1, and also to indicate his second choice and as many rure as he wishes to make. Such a system, already in use over a wide extent of the globe, would abolish that caucus, the private group of self-constituted ticket makers, the primary election, and throw open the field to all who can get the minimum number of signatures. But to elect a candidate, you must more votes for the winner than all other candidates together have. As no one is likely to have a clear majority of first-choice ballots, the candidates standing very low on the poll, in counting, be dropped one after another. Their second choice votes would be added as directed by the governor, or someone might have a large majority. The world is needing practical illustration of the workings of such a system in this country. The University is a most admirable laboratory for such demonstration in political science and art.
