THE CHANCELLOR'S REQUEST
Chancellor Lindley has called upon parents to think it over before they allow their University-bound offspring to depart for the institution of learning in the family motor-car, and there are those among us who believe that the chancellor did a wise thing when he put this matter up to parents.
The chancellor gives as his reasons for the request that the University authorities are trying to discourage all forms of extravagance, that it is desired to keep among the students a fine form of democracy, that the attention of students should be concentrated upon serious study and healthful recreation, and that practices fraught with moral risk should be held to a minimum.
But the best argument in the chancellor's letter to parents is contained in the last paragraph: "You can help much by making it clear to your sons and daughters that their part is to live simply, honestly, and wholesomely while in the University. For this they do not need a car."
Those are true words. University students have no more need for a car than a horse has for gasoline. There are few students who live so far from their classrooms but that they can walk with benefit to themselves.
Automobiles are purely a luxury for most of those who own them, and without a doubt they are a luxury for students. Much pleasure can be had with a motor-car, it is true; in the same manner, much grief can be归 from them, as anyone who has ever owned or driven a car can testify.
Doubtless even some of the students who are accustomed to bring their cars to school will be glad that the University authorities have taken the attitude they have toward cars. Many a lad comes to school and puts on too bold a front for the size of his pocketbook. To maintain this same front he maintains an automobile here, when no doubt some times he wishes it in the bottom of the Great Salt Lake. It is just possible that there are a good many who would welcome an excuse to send the old money-eater back home.
The Disarmament Conference would have conferred a favor upon the world if it had scrapped automobiles along with battlewards. Were there fewer automobiles there would be less talks of hard times and high taxes.
We used to mean when galoishes first came in style. Now the flappers are wearing Russian boots that a real Russian would blush to wear. Ye God!
When they're passing around medals for heroism they shouldn't forget those industrial heroes who labored to finish the upper part of that gigantic smokestack you see towering over the new power plant which is being completed.
UNSUNG HEROES
There are various kinds of courage, but the courage it takes to hang on
little scaffold around the edge of a smokestack which extends itself 250 feet above the top of Mount Oread should not be overloaded. Possibly the workers who did the work are nomads at their trade; possibly they think no more of their work than the man who uses hammer and saw on the roof of a two-story house. Never-the-less, such work takes courage, and there are a good many of us who wouldn't care for the job at $25 a day or more.
The armies of Greece have been routed by Kemil Paasha's Turkish forces, and Greece's dream of an empire in Asia Minor has failed, press dispatches say. How can Greece expect to win a war when 93 per cent of her native sons are in the United States running restaurants?
THE BANK RULE
Probably there is much wailing because the banks of Lawrence have agreed to make a service charge of 50 cents upon all accounts which balance at less than $25 at any time during a month, but for years the banks of Lawrence had had much to content with, and have had their full share of grief.
It is understood that the banks have aimed this new order particularly at those who receive small amounts of money from home weekly or monthly, put it in a bank and write small checks against it. We have known girls who kept small amounts in downtown banks, carried checkbooks continuously and money never, and wrote checks for so small amounts as 50 cents.
Such a situation causes no gleam of joy to lighten the banker's ego. It requires just as many clerks and just as much work to post and cancel a 50-cent check as a $50 check, and that is all the banker gets out of it—work. Banks engage in business because they are offering other people's money, and they are willing to pay for the privilege. But it's a small return that they get out of an insignificant account. Moreover, they are continually bothered by those who overwatch their accounts, offering the explanation that "I thought I had more than that."
The rule may be unfair to some, but, like the government, banks must deal in generalities. They have not the time to deal with each individual case.
THE COMMONS
The University's non-profit-making cafeteria has had a year's trial, and has proved itself a success. When the Commons first opened a year ago there was much complaining because many thought the prices for food were too high, but now you'll find just about all the students yellily standing by the Commons.
Prices became lower as the year drew to a close, and they will continue to get lower as time passes. After the investment has paid in full the food will be served at cost, for the Commons was not established for the purpose of making money. It was established in order to give the students of the University of Kansas a chance to吃 good food at reasonable prices in a place which is close to their classrooms.
WEATHER WHIMS
Only last Saturday the weather prophets were working overtime with their prophecies. Since the elements had seen fit to break the drought we had been suffering through all summer on Saturday, most of our local budding P. Connors swore by the beard of the prophet that a deluge would attend registration on Monday. But instead, Monday was a most beautiful day—neither too warm nor too cool; in short, the ideal day.
But do you think a little thing like that willush up the prophets? Nay, nay; they have seen far too many reversals of fate to be quenched by one such failure. You'll find them at the same old stand year in and year out, and occasionally they make correct guesses. This fortifies them and brings back wailing confidence to full strength. To use a bad pun, there is little profit in being a prophet, but that doesn't worry the worst of them.

NO ONE more appreciates the new Parker Duofolio than the students who play golf. The moment you grasp it your hand responds to that unmistakable feel that means business. Its fit, weight and balance produce a sensation akin to the pleasure of gripping your favorite club. It holds nearly twice the ink of the ordinary.
This is the pen that Geo. S. Parker, inventor of the leakproof "Lucky-Curve" perfected through 30 years of infinite pains. Money can buy fancier mountings, but the world contains no other point like this. Its popularity has made a stir at the campus and classroom unlike anything known before. Many pronounce it "hand-somer than gold."
When one record shows that the average student buys 4 pens a year, don't you agree that it is better economy to buy one Duofold in a month?
