Greason FRIDAY, SEPT. 15, 1922 The new concrete drive through the campus will soon be opened for traffic, and it is an improvement which is hailed with delight. When the University finds some way to pave that No Man's Land which exists in front of the Administration building everyone will be happy. HARD TIMES One of the most popular indoor sports just now is talking of hard times. Each person has his own version of the misfortune. Some lay it to profiters, some lay it to high taxes, some say it is caused by the war; others have a thousand and one reasons to give why they can barely live, and have a little money. There is one cause for hard times of the present, however, that is mentioned but little because most of those who weep of hard times are offenders in this respect. Take a little jaint out on the Fort to Fort to read any pleasant Sunday and you will see one cause of the so-called hard times. Count the automobiles. With the advent of the Great War the people of the United States embarked upon the greatest era of extravagance the country has ever witnessed. Young fellows who had never made more than $12.50 a week suddenly found they could draw $25 with little trouble. Wages were high; money was plentiful; everyone thought wealth for all was in store. Everyone made money but the soldiers who were fighting for $30 a month. Naturally, so much money started a buying craze. Silk shirts became everyday wearing apparel for every section hands. And it was but a short jump from silk shirts to motor-cars. The great epidemic of automobile fever was on! And although times are still supposed to be “hard,” there is no let-up in the buying of automobiles. Even now you can discover this by looking at the records in the office of the Douglas county register of deeds. Hardly a week passes but the chattel mortgages recorded for that week are more than half for automobiles. People who have not enough money to make an initial payment on a home and furniture make a first payment on a car, and go joy-riding merrily to financial ruin. There will be hard times until the automobile fever abates. Automobiles are almost a necessity to the doctor, some traveling salesmen, and others who are required by the nature of their vociations to travel a great deal. But the person who lives in town and has little use for a car other than to furnish a means for "cooling off" or having a good time in is harboring a parasite—something that will eat away the edges of his beloved green-backs. Our forbes came to Kansas by ox-train and by horse. No doubt they would have enjoyed driving cars if such things had been in existence and they could have afforded them, but they got along without them. And we, too, can get along without them.

No doubt there was considerable singing as a result of convicts drinking the fire water thus illicitly distilled. PUBLICITY HOUNDS ANNE DUDLEY BLITZ, Chairman. It was in that way that the lady's free advertisement became sidetracked for a day. It may be that the students should have been more interested in the project advocated by the lady faculty member than in a minor event happening to Mary Pickford; as to that the Kansan has nothing to say. But it does know this: the editors of the Kansan are expected and supposed to have the last say as to what goes in the paper, and this they intend to do. Persons who want public concern concerning their private projects are welcome to use the advertising section or pass out handbills. The early fall issues of The Kansan are running off the press nightly now, and when the Kansan begins publication in the fall the publicity hounds come scampering from one end of the campus to the other. By publicity hounds we refer to those people who have axes to grind, and wish to grind them in the free news columns instead of the paid advertising columns. Yourborn publicity hound seems to save the opinion that newspapers are printed for his benefit, and for his benefit alone. He even becomes angry when the Kanasa occasionally sidetracks a little item boosting one of his pet axes and puts in its place a story containing real news. For instance: last fall a lady faculty member became irate when an article booming her pet project—carefully dictated by the lady to a Kanasa reporter—failed to appear. Whereupon she grabbed her telephone and became connected with one of the Kanansa editors. She was highly indignant, she told this editor, because her free advertisement did not appear in that evening's paper. She wanted to know what sort of news judgment judged HER story out, and placed a little item concerning Mary Pickford and her ocean voyage in the The students of journalism who edit the Kansas do not know everything about newspaper work; they do not pretend to. They do know this, however; they know that certain types of story have a news value and are read; they know that others are uninteresting and have little news value. Consequently, they endeavor to fill the Kansas with matter which should be of interest to the student body in general. The truth about Rip Van Winkle has just been discovered. He realised on his vacation equipped with one of those new fangled camping outfits which among other things contained a no-go compass and a "sweat without lather razor", and besides being unable to shave for twenty years he was unable to find his way back THE FORD BOOM The presidential election is still two years off, but every now and then, it seems someone feels an uncontrollable impulse to advocate Henry Ford's candidacy for president in 1924. Since Harding was elected in 1920 there has been much talk of "Henry cord for President." Now Henry Ford is a great industrial magnet—one everyone concedes that. From comparative poverty more than a decade ago he has risen to the heights in the automobile industry. He has established great plants, and employs millions of persons. But all that is no sign that he is qualified to sit at the administrative helm of so great a nation as this. There must be something radically wrong with a man who will charter a ship during the progress of a great war, fill it with socialists and alleged idealists, and make an attempt to "get the boys out of the trenches by Christmas." Because Ford had made a success at the manufacture of automobiles he no doubt imagined he could cause the lion to lie down with the lamb and hail him as the harbinger of peace. Peace isn't attained so easily. What the soldiers thought was peace came four years ago, but there is some doubt whether the world is at peace yet. If the world is at peace it shouldn't be bothered with so many industrial disorders, profiters and wars in Asia Minor. Henry Ford or no other man can straighten out all the tangle with a snake of the fingers although many people seem to think it could be done. Henry Ford Will Always be regarded as a great man if he sticks to the manufacture of automobiles. His future will not be so certain if he engages in politics, and he had best leave it alone. We contend that the local telephone operators should be awarded first prize for quick service. Recently a patron removed the receiver from the hook and placed it to his ear, before he could think of the number he wished to call the "hello girl" sang out, "lines" busy." Unfortunately, there are still a few human beings among us who would rather hear their own voice than the most exquisite music.
