Spending Too Much For Unnecessaries Thinks Chancellor
hat Students Waste More Than Is Right Was Accusation

Doctor Linder also declared that not more than ten per cent of the brain power of this nation is in the game of living. He said that the salvation of the world rests in education. "Living," according to the college, "is a continuous process of adjustment to conditions and environment."

This was an audience this audience. Education was spoken of by Chancellor Lindley, in the broader sense, and the things which it will do to solve the present day industrial problems. He said, that the persons on both sides of any dispute must come to realize that there is within the hearts of the men of each side a spirit of good will for the other

Memorial Statue Started
French Is Sculptor of Uncle Jimmy's Statue
Work on the statue of Uncle Jimmy Green, dean of the School of Law for so long, who died three years ago, has been started by the sculptor, Daniel Chester French. When it is completed, he will be on campus on the campus near Green Hall. The plans have been approved by the committee appointed for that purpose, the chairman of which is Terrance J. Madden, f'04-06, of Kansas City. Funds for the statue come from a memorial memorial fund of the University.
Mr. Madden said in speaking of the statue, "In the heart of all K. U. is the sentiment that the memory of Uncle Jimmy Green may never die. To perpetuate this, it is proposed to erect on the campus near Green Hall memorial that you will be born before his life. To do this we have selected Daniel Chester French, who, in the art of portraying personality, is the foremost sculptor of the world today. The French monumental status of Lincoln gives us reason to believe and expect that the product of Mr. French's genius for K. U. will be a triumph of art. It will be a source of pride and inspiration for our University, and will glorify the memory of our departed Dean."

Embryonic Editors Adopt Distinctive Mark For Seniors
Four Year Journalists
"Break Out" With
Swagger Sticks
A-Swinging
What hbs been for two years a mere threat, has at last become an actual fact. Sensors in the department of journalism, both men and women, blossomed this morning to support the decision. The decision to adopt the swagger stick as a distinctive means of identification for seniors in the department, has come as the result of quite a little speculation, and several attempts, over ten years to decide upon something, were unsuccessful, suitable for both men and women.
Corduroy Custom Died
The custom which lived for a few years, that of the corduroy trousers, was abandoned two years ago be-
At a meeting of the seniors last Wednesday, the swagger stick was adored after considerable discussion, and as a result, all of the twenty have equipped themselves over the week-end.
Sticks Are Here to Stay
There are now two distinctive types of departmental and school dress. The Laws have carried the historic cane since late in the 90's, and they were called the "Four Quart" but early last fall. According to sponsors of the new playthings of the editors, although they have been the last to swing in line, they are here to stay.
Accusations made today by the law seniors that the swagger stick was an infringement and a copy of the law cane were emphatically denied by senior journalists today. It was assumed that their truth than it would be that the engineers adopted their cow-boy has in engines of the freshman cap.

Cakies Shine -But Not Their Noses
The cake-eater is just as careful to see that his nose doesn't shine as he is to see that his shoes do. he carries a powder puff in his coat pocket to touch up his complexion, if we are to believe the evidence which is piling up at the clothes pressing establishments.
Local pressing plants report they find an infinite variety of things in student clothes. Besides powder puffs, they find money, fountain pens, bills, duns, love-letters, hairmets, handkerchiefs, and cheeks.
The proprietor of one local press plant says the number of powder puffs they find in men's clothes is too large to be explained any other way. Few of the Adonis have the temerity to claim their puffs.

"No large American city has occupied having some disgraceful governmental episode in its history, but conditions are improving," said C.M. Passett municipal consultant at the University of Kansas, speaking this noon before the Kansas City Ad Club on the topic, "Corrupt and Contented." "When Bryce wrote his 'American Commonwealth' he spoke of American city government as the consummation failure of a free, American citizens are paying more and more attention to their government." Mr. Passett stated.
K. U. Professor Speaks Today in Kansas City
"in searching for evidence of municipal progress, we must turn not so much to the larger cities, wherein the enormous budget are a constant temptation to crooks, but to the smaller cities, in which the people take a greater interest in their government," he continued. "The imposition of laws by small cities, both in structure and administration, in the past twenty years, has been nothing short of marvelous."

2,000 Attired In Evening Garb,Put Over Huge Parade
Annual Negligee Scramble Was a "Go-Getter" From Start to Finish
"A starched front, and I'd be in one of the evening dress," shouted one of the participants in the Night Shirt Parade, held Saturday night in celebration of Kansas' defeat of the Ichabons. While from another section of the weaving ranks of P. J.-clad men of the University came the admioration on Friday, with next down." It was a good-natured, hard-working impatient patient, which formed, sans culottes, in four outside of Robinson Gymnasium after a yell-fell had been inside. Led by the University Band back of the familiar figure of "Mia" with his baton, and that of the Chancellor of the University, the long, white, twisting line, winding like a great serpent down Oreda and to South Street, wended its way to South Street. Paul Miller, cheerless, called his troop to a temporary stop while the dissemblers of the eats on Massachusetts made their last preparations for the mux of ravenous men.
Everybody Turned Out
Jugging from the mob of spectators assembled, all of the city of Lawrence and parts of Eudora and Baldwin City, not mentioning a young metropolis of farmers, must have turned out to see the celebrated Night Shirt Parade of the men of the University of Kansas. They (the spectators) lined the "main drag" from Eleventh Street to Seventh. An eager crowding to get a good view evidenced the curiosity and interest toward townspeople as the paraders wound up in the tables upon which were loaded apples, full of cider, cookies, peanuts, cigars, and finally popcorn on the last skirts of the huge bonfire, built opposite the Zephyr Bakery.
"And Not a Kick"
"The parade was a huge success," commented Virg Miller, University cheerleader, this morning. "Not a word of dissatisfaction among the students or the townpeople was heard the whole evening, and that is a compliment for the men of the University."
"I am sure the students appreciate 'the eats' which the merchants chipped in to furnish, and the whole banquet was good, too."
Part of the motley mob couldn't resist the temptation of parading into the F. A. U. Hall where a Varsity dance was in progress, after seeing the shows at the Bowersock and Warner theaters. The dancers who were tripping the light fantastic didn't resent the intrusion. (They couldn't.)
Second Box To Near East
Crop Failures in Russia Will Result in Famine
The second box to be sent to the Near East Relief from Lawrence will be packed at the Social Service Hall on Thursday and Friday of this week under the direction of Miss Mary Byrd.
Bryden
Setters sent to Miss Byrd from the American Friends' Service Committee tell of the great need for clothing in Russia. The people are insufficiently clutter even for summer, and the winters in Russia are bitterly cold. Because of the repeated crop failures there will be food this winter for only about 50 per cent of the population. The people have been compelled to kill their sheep for food, so there is practically no wool in the country, unless they receive outside aid they will be in danger of both starving and freezing, according to Miss Bryder.
