SORT OF A WELCOME
So we're passing by the usual stereotyped "make yourself at home" sort of welcome. While you are the guests of the University, the Kansan and the department of journalism feel that you are especially our guests. We're dressed up for the occasion over here, and we expect as we fear that you will give us a critical "once over." If you see anything you like about us, tell us. If you see anything you don't like, tell us that too. We're used to it. And when you go home, if you can find it in you to say anything good about us there, do it, because, being embryo journalists, we're hounds for publicity.
Of course Ye Editors understand that the keys to Mt. Orcad, if there are any keys, are yours. That goes without saying. Of courses, too, most of you are not strangers to the University of Kansas campus. We would like to believe some of you got your incentive, your inspiration, your "start", here. And the rest of you have visited us before, or at least you've heard so much about us that you surely feel acquainted with us.
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
Among all the honors to which he might lay claim, it is probable that William Allen White, above all others, would prefer being accredited a successful Kansas editor. And it is no small honor. Kansas editors, for the past fifty years and more, have been the composite voice through which that political idealism, that so-called puritanism of this state has been expressed.
And among them all, Mr. White is the writer who has most successfully interpreted, to an outer world Kansas, with all the aspirations of its people, its stern puritanism and, paradoxically, the soft beauty of its rolling landscape.
But William Allen White has been more than a voice for mere interpretation. He is a voice that leads, Kansas, ever since the bloody days preceding the Civil War, has been a perpetual battle ground upon which the proponents of new political ideals have striven. No man has fought more sincerely and courageously for the reforms he considered vital than this Kansas editor. Mr. White is a political idealist; but he is also a practical politician—a rare combination, and one that can never fail to leave a mark.
But this editor is a many sided man. A study of his writings will reveal not merely the editor, the politician and the reformer. In addition to these we find the poet. Of course not in the technical form, but in the thought. The beauties of Kansas life, its peaceful serenity and the subtle appeal of its green mantled prairies, its glorious sunsets and wonders of springtime, he has brought home to the people of Kansas. He has made beauty for them.
Songs From The Hill

That never to himself hath said,
"This is my own, M. E. A."
Whose hath heart hne' within hit

As blithely Lawrenceward he came
To learn a few, and also play.
If such there breathe, go mark him

For him no Who's Who raptures swell
High grade his paper, clear his type,
Black is his ink as he could swipe,
Despite these assets got by perf.
The wretch, concentr'ing all in self,
Shall forfeit right to all renown,
Go back to pi from whence he sprung,
Unwept, unbonred, and unawg.
This is William Allen White. He has grown and broadened his state, and the names of both stand for something best expressed by the record of their accomplishments.
WE TRY TO BE GOOD
Well, Mr. Editor, you're going to have a day or so in which to look us over. Do you think you'll like us? Public opinion is a funny thing, as you who moll it know. And public opinion, where it concerns us four thousand-old students in the University of Kansas, is pretty active. That's only natural. These people of Kansas are making it possible for us to get a splendid education and they want results. Whenever anything happens they want the facts. And they don't always get them—straight! That's partly your fault Mr. Editor. There are a lot of good folks, even of the year of 1922, who study of college in terms of bolt-bottom trousers and negligence street wear. Mention fraternities to some of them and they see poker sessions that last away into the morning and whiskey bottles on the dressers.
Last year a few things happened that we're trying to forget. Allowing for duplication, about thirty people were responsible for all of it—thirty people out of thirty-five hundred! Does the percentage run any better in your home town, Mr. Editor? And yet if you had believed some of the papers, there wasn't a clean thing on the campus.
But we go to class and take exams and get degrees, just like all respectable folks. And some of us are really learning something—honest, we are. Why, for every miscreant that gets bounced we can show you a hundred successful grades—good American citizens.
Look us over, Mr. Editor. But be sure and get under the veneer. Because—no kidding—we try to be good.
Plain Tales from the Hill
All the humor of the Hill, today and yesterday, seems to have found its origin at the Country Club golf links. For instance:
Alfred G. "Scoop" Hill misses a fifteen inch put at the ninth and says things to himself that would disgrace the Alumni Magazine.
Bill Beck of the Holton Recorder was sporting a brand new pair of golf knickers, just off the shelf. It was rumored among those in the inner circle that they came from his brother Ed. on the Chicago Tribune. Maybe Ed took 'em in on a subscription.
Griff. Bonner of Topeka was taking some mean swings at the gutta percha and hitting them every once in awhile. Griff didn't miss a single hazard, and then came in claiming a 47.
We discovered that the editorial chairs of this state are apparently very comfortable thrones and apt to encourage the development of funiculars in the city under Monday's sun did some disastrous things to nicely starched golf shirts.
Bogies and pars were things referred to in awe and trembling during yesterday* qualifying the image of other unmentionable figures predominated.
Editors are funny men. They save the nation daily through their editorials; they say so themselves. They make the cup reborter to shake and tremble when the luckless creature enters their presence. Yet once a year they come up to lawsuits, sweat and use and explain and ex- sweat and use and explain and ex- sweat it hit with a club. They act as though it was a serious matter. Aren't they funny?
The Winning H. S. Editorial
The subject given was "Why Go to College?" Thirty-one papers submitted editors, in some cases the editorial to be submitted had been selected by an elimination contest in which editors written by members of journalism and other classes were printed in the school paper.
Selection of the winning editorial in the High School Newspaper contest was exceedingly difficult, according to members of the journalism faculty who prepared the report.
As was to be expected, no editorial reaches perfection from the standpoint of either content or form, but the judges declare that the productions offered in the contest are highly creditable to the coming generation of Kansas editors.
The winning editorial, which appeared in the High School Record at columbus, follows:
Why Go to College?
Why Go to College
The greatly increased number of young men and women who have received college education has led to the results of over production from which we are now suffering, has led to a decided depreciation in the commercial value of such an education. So many college graduates, especially young women, seem to believe that a college education is an open seance to success. This has been said before.
Then why is the National Bar Association of America trying, with every means at its command, including unlimited newspaper publication, to pass a law making a law that requires the requirements for the practice of law? Simply because the untrained young man or woman, entering the field of law at this time, cannot hope to compete with the college student. There are enough college men to do the laywork of the profession for the man who has neither training nor experience. What is true of law is true of medicine and theology, and what is true of these professions is also true of architecture, engineering, journalism, and teaching. Whether or not profession or profession a boy or girl may choose, so it is one in which assurance, personality, a specialized training of any kind, and accurate know-
ledge, education will be of advantage
Kansan Krackles
Uncle Sam ought to be able to recruit a regiment of mighty good soldiers from the K. U. School of Engineering. The Laws, of course, would work better in the Diplomatic Corps.
These "Please" signs on the Campus always seem to go begging.
Two columns of front page news stories and a long editorial in a metropolitan daily show the world prominence of K. U.'s "fighting intellectuals."
He was a good editor and then he took up golf.
No, visiting editors, our campus roads are not golf courses; although we admit the presence of tees on our thoroughfares, the holes are much too frequent.
The "reason why" of so many golfing newspaper men in Kansas is explained by the scarcity of Sunday editions.
Fraternity houses on the Hill will be full of personal journalism a few nights this week.
A New Jersey health inspector declared that gossip spreads disease. It's a wonder we didn't all die in our infancy then.
Wonder if Chick Evans ever ran
a country weekly?
Wonder what have been the alibis the past six weeks of these professors who are always complaining that convocations cut up their class periods so much that they don't have time enough to get over the work of the courses?
College is an investment. When a student graduates from high school, he has a talent or inclination along some line, a limited amount of training, and some (we will suppose) ability to earn. Some people are always in a hurry to realize. They want to capitalize their holdings so quickly that they are willing to sell below par for cash. The wise man will invest four more years of his time, and the necessary amount of money in the development of his stock. The expenditure must be going in the first place.
Why go to college? Because culture and knowledge, which is power, are to be found there; because it is in the great centers of learning, the colleges and universities, that the life of past ages finds its application in
Why go to college? Some people go for the fun there is in it. This argument may not appeal to whoever pays the bills, but it is worth the effort. Four glorious years of preparation! College with all that it means. If the time were wasted—but then it isn't, not even the student's best efforts along this route would work. Now somehow it seems to complete youth which is, after all, a preparation.
