THURSDAY, SEPT. 21, 1922
Mr. Warren Gannatiel Harding President of the United States, has won fit to veto the soldier's bonus bill—more properly, the Adjusted compensation measure—which was recently passed by congress. The President sends his veto with a 2,500-word message to Congress, in which he gives his reasons for killing the measure.
THE BONUS VETO
The President rectes at length the reasons why he thinks a bonus should not be granted, with chief emphasis on financial reasons. After giving figures on hospitalization and care of the wounded, the President makes the following statement: "Though undying gratitude is the need of everyone who served, it is not to be said that a material bestowal is an obligation to those who emerged from the great conflict not only unlawful but physically, mentally and spiritually richer for the great experience."
Many did emerge from that great conflict unharmed at that time, but few are the veterans of the Great War who feel that they are physically, mentally and spiritually rich as the result of their services. Those whom the President would have spiritually richer are the ones who are contracting tuberculosis by the thousands now, who are having heart trouble and a hundred and one other ailments as the result of undue strain and exposure while in the service.
If there was anything about that war to make a soldier mentally richer, few of the soldiers know what it was. The only things the soldier on the front had time to think about were food, drink, blankets and tobacco. The soldier really came out of the war mentally poorer, for he was nothing but a very small cog in an enormous machine. He didn't have to think; others did his thinking for him.
And by "spiritually richer," we do not know what the President refers to unless he means that the boys were converted at Y. M. C. A., song fests while munching five-event chocolate bars for which they paid a franc.
If the President thinks a war can make a man physically, mentally and spiritually richer, he best go to the next war so he can have first-hand knowledge. The writer was in a few battles during the war, and about the only thing he came out richer in was approximately a pound of lead. He hoped up open the Armor-Meuse offensive with a full and normal body, and came back minus several pounds of flesh and about two quarts of blood. If he was enriched in any way he cannot see it.
MODERN CIVILIZATION
One man was killed and seven were injured in Kansas City Sunday that 50,000 persons might worship at the shrine of that one all-American faith, the Great God Thrill. And still we prattle of our modern civilization and fight sickening, costly wars for its preservation.
There is little of a competitive appeal in the racing game for the average spectator. After the first few laps, such a race settles down to a monotony of speeding motors that can only be relieved by the inevitable catastrophe.
In brutal analysis, it is these catastrophes that are the drawing card. Possibly they would not admit it, but ninety percent of the spectators who attend such an affair are there in expectation of the "brill" that accompanies a fatal accident.
From a purely practical standpoint, the racing game compares unfavorably with the gladiatorial practices of Old Rome. In safety to the spectators and in interest, the sport of the gladiators was far in the lead.
And the ancient game had another advantage. The victims could be definitely selected, and not taken at random from a list of superb specimens of nerve and brain and muscle. This last was a marked advantage. If we must be entertained by the spectacle of death, why not combine our thrills with the ends of justice and social selection?
Since the alleged jawbone of a mastectomy has been unearth at Manhattan, the Kansas City Star says it's Lawrence's turn. We care not what they unearth at Manhattan; they are more likely to dig up the bones of a cow.
BETTER GO
Comes now the Convocation Problem. Every year a new crop of high school gods and goddesses wrestle with that problem. And invariably they reach the same decision. Convocation is a bore and the chancellor is a stuffy old bag of nonsense who has to be tolerated for the sake of peace.
Now it is just possible that the Board made a serious mistake in selecting a man who would not meet with the approval of the on-coming generations of young Jayhawkers—possible, not probable. And as far as convocations are concerned, they are not made up on the calendar system here. There is no set time for them, they just "happen" when there is something which should be brought to the attention of the student body. Of course it's an inconvenience.
And of course it's so much nicer to run down to Brick's and have a hard-billed "coke". Besides, one must keep in touch with the Alfaffa Deltgirls so as to get a bid to their next Lipton shuffle.
It's a funny thing! There isn't a town in Kansas that doesn't sport a soda fountain. Perhaps it is the atmosphere at Brick's.
It is reported that a number of our budding financiers made money last Friday selling convocation tickets to freshmen.
AS OTHERS SEE US
George Gage, a 1922 graduate and former editor of the Kansan, is now owner and editor of the Minnesota Messenger. Mr. Gage has heard of the bank's $50,000 in banks, providing that a 50-cent service charge be put on all accounts balancing less than $25 at any time during a month, and he attacks the bankers in no uncertain terms. The messenger is taken from the Messenger:
PLUCKING THE JAYHAWKERS PINFEATHERS
Students who go the State University at Lawrence are known as Jayhawkers. They are tyrified by an unnally-looking bird called a Jayhawk. You can recognize this Kansas fledgling by its large beak, big innocent eyes, and thick growth of pinfeathers. It makes its perilous nest in Lawrence in the midst of huge cats called bankers.
These bankers now decide to pluck the Jayhawk's pinfetches; they are launching the most flagrant grab ever attempted by a clique of bird pluckers. Not only are they going to attack me, but students from students of *Kansas* every month; they are going to insist that at no time shall any individual balance be less than twenty-five dollars. If any student should check on his account at any time during the month that his money on deposit falls lower than fifty cents, he shall be fined fifty cents for each monthly offense.

ALL-UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION;
An All-University Convention is called for 11 o'clock tomorrow morning in Robinson Gymnasium. Twenty noted English men and women, headed by Lord Wakefield, brother of Queen Mary of England, will be the guests of the University on this occasion and all students and faculty are urgently requested to be present to extend a cordial greeting to our distinguished visitors.
All freshmen enrolled in the R. O. T. C. will report at the office of the Military Department, Robinson Gymnasium, for physical examination on Friday, September 22, and Saturday, September 23, 1922.

TION:
No. 9.
The green-eyed cats may catlure their fifty-cent pinefathers and purri trumpphantly at the extortion, but when winter comes and the Kansas Jayhawkers begin to shiver through lack of financial plunder, the older Jayhawks probably will call their deliglings back to the home nests.
over a feast like this: hundreds of thousands of dollars of student money from every county in Kansas on deposit in Lawrence banks without interest, and a penalty toll of fifty cents a month for its withdrawal. Indeed, the bankers ought to glut themselves with Jayhawk feathers.
PLAIN TALES
E. H. LINDLEY, Chancellor.
Freshmen are bright. That fact does not have to be admitted; everyone knows it.
But this is only half the story.
The grey-eyed interest-takers have decreed a charge of ten cents each for student checks cashed on any out-of-town bank unless the student keeps a current deposit in one of the Lawrence banks. In other words, the Lawrence banks insist that the students submit to the fifty-cent monthly fine or else to a fine of ten cents on every outside check cashed. The state of Kansas has the wild-cat oil men of the State will be flocking to Lawrence to buy bank stock. And before the bankers of Lawrence know it the people of Kansas will be sending their sons and daughter to schools where there is less pilfering.
But this is only half the story.
Heard in a Spanish class during lesson in conversation;
Student, writing—"They took me to heaven."
CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT IN THE COLLEGE:
At about this time the University administration will crane its neck, blink its eyes, and exclaim: "Who in heaven all added the Jayhaw an jibber-bob."
The matter of bank service in Lawrence is not a matter of private agrandizement to be decided upon by Lawrence bankers; it is a matter of state concern. The University of Kansas happens to be located in Lawrence. If the bankers of Lawrence insist upon discrimination against Kansas students, it is up to banks to ensure that they provide fair banking facilities. The fact that students are young and without political leverage in Lawrence does not justify an exorbitant service charge.
Man student—"Gladys, do you have a dog at your house?"
Gladys—"No"
CHANGES IN ENROLLMENT IN THE SCORE
The attention of all students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will be asked to look for that, as FRIDAY SEPTEMBER MAY BE MADE AFTER SCHOOL.
The father of one of K. U.'s spanders, after receiving the Chancellor's letter requesting parents not to allow their sons and daughters to bring the family car to the University, wrote his son saying:
"Ye gods, I never thought a fellow could collect that much dirt in five years."
But however bright the average frost presumes to be, we'll have to hand it to the one who met the youngster at the intersection of Oread and Thirteenth streets this morning. The child was dirty, undeniably so. Dirt crusted on his countenance all most to the point of hiding his features.
"Now, I know where all of my money goes. You have a car, which no doubt you bought on time, and are spending all of my money buying gas and running around. This must stop or your allowance does.
The son wrote his father asking him to read the letter again.
SHE blushed—that was several years ago.
"Say kiddo," chirped the frosh,
"how old are you?"
"Five," lisped the kid.
