J. 25 and 66 The Daily Kansan aims to picture the undergraduate in order to go further than merely printing the news by standing for the favorite positions; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be helpful; to be more serious problems to wiser heads; in all respects, to the best of its ability students of Kansan. WEDNESDAY, NOV. 1, 1922. THE SIX-DAY SCHOOL AND EFFICIENCY Next week the University Senate will vote on the proposition of six-day school. What will be the decision? Will the Senate consider the wishes of the students? The advocates of the measure base their arguments largely on the belief that a six-day schedule would make the University more efficient. The scholastic standing of the students as a whole would be materially raised, and the use of the class rooms would be more evenly distributed throughout the week, thus relieving the congested hours. These are the convictions of those who would have attunes class on Saturday mornings. Whether the proposed shake-up would bring about a higher degree of efficiency here is not for the Kansan to decide. Suffice it to say that many faculty members believe that classes six days a week would pall upon the students to such an extent that the standing of the student body would not be raised and would possibly be lowered. But let us grant for the moment that Saturday school would make the University more efficient. Is efficiency the only thing in life? Is it not true that, in this modern age, we often become so highly efficient that we almost forget that people are human beings? Most political scientists agree that autocracy is by far the most efficient government on earth, but we all know that an autocracy is not the best government possible. The fact that a thing is highly effeinet does not mean that it is above criticism; efficiency is only one of the many good qualities that an institution should have, and, if to be the most efficient it must neglect other things good and just, then it should be satisfied with a slightly lower degree of efficiency. In all things should we be temperate—efficiency included! Without doubt, the adoption of the six-day measure would bring a great hardship upon the working students of the University. That side of the question has been discussed in these columns before. It would mean that many self-supporting men and women would have to drop out of school temporarily at least, and possibly permanently. Saturday school would banish the only time students have for recreation and the preparation of outside work such as reports. It would, the Kansas believes, lessen church attendance here to a marked degree. It would help to fix that detested subjunctive, "Rich Man's School," more firmly upon it. in securing a higher degree of efficiency—and the faculty is divided even on this point—the University would sacrifice many things that now go to make it a "human institution." Surely efficiency at such a price is a poor bargain. Official Daily University Bulletin No. 39. NIVERSITY WOMEN'S CLUB: Vol. II. Copy received by Florence E.

AMERICAN COLLEGE QUILL CLUB: Regular meeting of Quill Club will be held at 7:30 Thursday in Fraser Rest Room. Election of new members will be held and Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes will tell of her summer in Europe. All members, faculty and students, agreed to be present. Since New England has raised horrified hands at two of the world's greatest dancers, some of the fashionable eastern schools will probably cease to be such followers of Terpsichorean art. SHE STOOPS TO-LISTEN GEORGE STRUBLE, Chancellor. VICTOR SOLBERG, Vice-Chancellor. After all, it is a very simple matter—this method she uses—but it is effective, nevertheless. She merely exerts herself to the extent of giving the speaker her undivided attention. She may be bored, she may be disgusted, but still she fixes the speaker with a steady glance and never allows her victim to imagine that he is tiringome. It works. The wisest and mightiest fall before this—the subtlet of all flattery—the art of listening. FORGET-ME-NOT DAY "Forget-Me-Not" is the plea of the maimed veteran, languishing in a hospital. The real leader in the political campaign has been discovered at last by the party managers. It is General Anathy. The president of the United States has set forth the significance of the day in a proclamation; Governor Allen has proclaimed it; Mayor Kreeck of Lawrence will proclaim it. Chancellor Lindley will render assistance, and Dean Anne Dudley Blitz is organizing the W. S. G. A. for the purpose of selling the flowers. To the many thousands of America's wounded and disabled veterans of the World War, "Forget-Met-Not Day," o be observed here and throughout the rest of the country Saturday, carries a deep significance. It is a day which will carry the tribute of a grateful nation to themaimed and crippled heroes of the war, many of whom are still lying on beds of pain in hospitals in all parts of the United States. The proceeds collected from the sale of forget-me-nots Saturday are to go to the welfare and relief of the disabled American veterans of the war, regardless of their affiliation with any veterans' organization. The money collected by girls who will sell the flowers here and elsewhere will be dropped in sealed containers. It will then be taken to designated banks, which will in turn forward it to national headquarters of the Disabled American Veterans of the World War, from whence it will be disbursed for the welfare of disabled service men. When a young lady approaches you with a flower Saturday, bip it and pay for it what you think you should. There is no set charge; a person may give much or nothing. But remember that the money you give will go to help those who suffered that the nation might live, and that you could give to no worrier cause. "Can freshmen go to the Varsity?" queried one. "I thought Varsity dances were like the Varsity football team, open to upperclassman only. Gee, think of the Saturday nights I've been wasting." Plain Tales From The Hill Margy: "One of the Appla Cobbia Pie girls paid $100 to have her family tree looked up." It was a senior woman who remarked to a freshman that an upper-classman could be loved by one man, but not many. Cholly: "Yes, and $200 to have it hushed up." One could say that college life develops the "Belief in the One." First Student: "Did you go to Manhattan?" Second Ditto: "Yes, I went down in my Cole Eight." F. S.: "Cole Eight?" S. D.: "Yes, coal car with eight wheels." "You didn't know I had shuffled the deck, did you?" said Professor Hodder the other day when he changed order of reactivation in one chaperone. "Are you superstitions, Clarice?" Well, I was last until night, and John found a lot of red apples, and some red ornamental flowers on a fortune teller's tent, and none of the things happened that I was afraid would!" "No," the victim muttered, "but I'm going to ask for a cut next time." It brings you first to Kansas just to make you feel at home and then it wins your heart besides. So feel the charmed few who have had access to the dainty little volume, "The Call of Kansas and Later Verse," by Esther Clark Hill (Ester M. Chak), which obviously allows off with her best known title, "The Call of Kan." The book has recently been issued by the Torch Press and the first edition is limited to one thousand copies. Book Review Many Kansasans just now growing into maturity first discovered Esther M. Clark and her gift of poignant, tender song when they, inarticulate young, found her expressing their innermotions about the mist across the valley and about the dusty prairie road and about the wind that beat the fragrant summer rain into their faces as they ran home in the twilight—about Kansas. They could not have told it, they would have been ashamed to see what knowledge it known probably but when she released the hidden spring for them, they cherished her version. Now they appreciate it as well. So read lovely lines from each bit of verse. They all cannot be mentioned here but one must be—"And Your Old Men Shall Dream Dreams." The quality of rhythm carries one along with the strains and the thought and imagery quicken the spirit to keep pace. This poem will easily prove to "The hands that cling, yet will not be denied" "the land beyond the valley where grey mists, bckonned him" "have you ever looked across the valley in the twilight and wondered if the lights were being lit at home, and your mother were expect- ing you to come? The other verses are not about Kansas, but they are Kansas—they are not heartside sentiment, but they are home—home and Kansas! ing ones of the author's work. "The Years" closes the volume and it has been years since the first hot outcook of Ether M. Clark as cried out for her native state. But she has never diminished her and have shown her vistas stretching broad and far which her imagination has encompassed. Her little brown book makes you a real friend which will last. be one of the popular and lasti- c ones of the author's work. Who will learn with me the fallen year, This drift of forgetten foraken leaves, Ah! who give耳 The tooth of forgotten heaven At summer's passing by! Who will come walk with me and the gold and purple and gold The weary autumn weaves, And be as and as 17! Gather all the fallen rose, And with how the nomored wind blows Old dreams and old faces upon the air, And all all things fair. AUTUMN TREASURE —Richard LeGallienne.
