WHAT OF J. E. HOUSE
Jay E. House has been attending the movies again; at least, his syndicated editorial, "Thoughts on College Life," which appeared in papers throughout the country on September 25, indicates as much.
Mr. House has evidently seen the movie here leave the farm and prance away to college, the hayheads still in his hair, only to return at the end of one short semester perfectly civilized—a sophisticated product. Now Mr. House has led himself to believe that this actually happens, and his praise is unstinted for the institution which can transform a "bick," as he calls him, in so short a time. But suppose the reader listens to a bit of his rank flattery.
"Any agency," he says, "which tends to mitigate the hick, or reduce his numbers, is of a great social and economic value. A college-almost any college—can do that. We have watched young men who had never known a night shirt go away to the university in September chewing a wooden toothpick. We have seen them come home for the Christmas holidays with silk pajamas in their kit bag. Bill Hedges was one of these. We ate dinner with Bill's folks on Sunday before he went away to school. He was so excited that he could hardly keep the paas on his knife. When he came home for the Christmas holidays he was using a fork for everything."
Mr. House should not generalize on the case of Bill Hedges, for Bill must have been an extraordinary chap; no college can equip a cure of the average "sword swallowing" case in one short semester. It just isn't done. And then, when Mr. House says "We have watched," and "We have seen," he surely refers only to things which he has watched and which he has seen upon the screen. He should not assume that universities live up to the high standards set by colleges in the movies. And so he runs on—praise, undeserved praise, for universities and colleges. At only one point does his flattery seem to be justified. Let him tell his own story.
"Had we gone to college," he remarks, "probably we never would have been guilty of the gaucherie of wearing a fancy blue waistcoat and a rose-colored cravat coincidentally. We did that once at a football game and the college community in which the indiscrimination was committed pulsated with the shame of it."
We agree with Mr. House there! If he had attended college he doubtless would have adorned his person with a corduroy vest and a black and yellow diagonally striked nickel. We blush with him for his indiscretion.
In the midst of all the triangle plays and morbid cinemas which are flooding the screen today, it is like an aisis on the desert to find a good clean play. Such a play is "Manslaughter," which was shown in Lawrence this week.
A GOOD PLAY
Contrary to its hair-raising title, the play deals not with war, but instead teaches the lesson of right and drive it home with straight, clear-cut blows. It has a perfectly obvious moral but does not spoil it by preaching. It is well photographed and the leads are taken by actors who can act; it is well worth seeing from an artistic point of view. We learn from the play a definite material thing, something about the routine of prison life, and thus it is educational. The bits of philosophy in the captions are virile and applicable to common, every-day life; one of these extols love and service as the best things of life. But more than all these, the picture is intensely interesting and wholesome, and we leave the theater without the usual bad taste in our mouth.
Jayhawk Jargon
Some men are like a sewing machine—a woman runs them best.
New Guinea flappers live in the tree tops. The cake-caterors of the island must have to shake a wicked limb to get them.
In speaking of the 87-year-old Georgia woman who is to go to the U. S. Senate, the governor of that state said: "She is wise beyond her years?" Is the governor kidding someone?
The human dumbbell is still with us. We have in mind the freshman who called up his landlady to find out his telephone number.
If the American colleges don't turn out more A. B.'s, the restaurants will be short of dish-washers.
Some of these "wet" propagandists evidently think a man is like a hot water bottle—no good unless full.

"An Aristocrat of College Annuals"
Here is another unusual feature of the 1923 Jayhawker- There will be a fifty page pictorial calendar of the school year. This means that every important event of the school year will be shown in pictures in the 1923 Jayhawker. There has never been a pictorial calendar in any previous Jayhawker because of the expense and details involved. To get fifty pages of pictures we expect to take more than twelve hundred pictures and then to use the six hundred best pictures from this large number. We have a 5X7 Graflex equipped with the fastest lens on the market working every day under the direction of Bob Gilbert.
Another thing—the K. U-Army game at West Point Saturday will be covered for the 1923 Jawhaker by the White Studios and also by Underwood & Underwood of New York. These two firms furnish a large number of pictures every day to magazines and newspapers all over the country and it costs money to get them to take pictures, but they get results and wonderful pictures. In your book you will see these wonderful pictures of the game as well as pictures of the trip up the Hudson river of the members of the New York alumni association.
& Underwood are taking pictures at West Point we will have two cameras working on the campus getting unusual views of Stadium day.
To give you an adequate impression of the 1923 Jayhawker is impossible, but here are a few of the features:
Six hundred pages—one hundred more than last year.
Nine hundred illustration—three hundred more than last year.
Pictures of the interiors of all the buildings—this has not been attempted at K. U. for a good many years because of the expense, but we are going to use sixty views.
Every section of the book reorganized. A Fine Arts Section.
A Hall of Fame for Sixteen of Our Prominent members of the Senior class.
Remember subscribe from the Owls today or tomorrow. They want to guarantee the success of the Jayhawker and to do this they must have your support.
A Hall of Fame for Sixteen of Our Prominent members of the Faculty.
A Pictorial calender.
A Vanity Fair dramatics section.
A Section Devoted to the Many Departments at K. U. which are ordinarily overlooked by the Jayhawker editors.
Before going to that party stop at the Stadium, the shop of service, and get one of those Boncilla messages and one of Arch's shines.

"Seventy Years of Service"
The unknown and sparsely settled West is now the Nation's bread-basket. Trackless plains and rolling prairies have become fertile farms; struggling villages have become thriving cities of wealth and beauty.
And the railroads made all this possible in the three-score and ten years allotted as the life of man.
We celebrate, in our Seventieth Anniversary, the part the Rock Island Lines have played in this transformation.
During our. "Seventy Years of Service" we have grown to a system of 8,122 miles,serving fourteen states. We extend grateful thanks for the co-operation which has made this possible.
Our mutuality of interest is inseparable. We are eager to merit your confidence and respect.
As we face the future we seek your co-operation and support to the end that we may serve you efficiently and satisfactorily and reap in equitable proportion the prosperity which will result from mutual understanding and reasonable consideration of each other's problems.

Get the Pen that Fills by a Press of the Button
A Filler That's Not Exposed So Can't Catch and Spill Ink
TTHIS is one of the vital reasons why the Parker Pen ranks highest with America's educators and student bodies. Its filler is 'safety-sealed' beneath the neat screw-cap end. There no exposed lever to catch on the clothing, spill ink and spill your suit or blouse. Remove the cap, insert the pen in ink, press the button and the Parker filled.
1 ms simple, perfect filter was created by Geo. S. Parker, inventor of the celebrated leakproof "Lacuria Curve"feed. And in no other place can a simple filter be performed to perform without a hitch. And that's what you want in a fountain pen—not one that distracts your mind when you're trying to concentrate.
All Parker points are 14 KR rolled gold, so they can't rust, corrode or
tarnish and are not affected by acids.
Prices range from $2.50 upward according to style and mounting. These pens are made with the same mechanical perfection and jeweler's accuracy and finish found in the famous Parker 25-season Duofold—the lacquered one at $7 that has taken America by storm.
Come pick out the point that best suits your hand—extra fine, fine,
medium, coarse or stub. We'll give you a Parker Accident Policy free-
insuring you for one year against any breakage, damage or unsatisfactory service of any kind.
