UNCLE JOE CANNON
"Uclee Joe" Cannon, Congressman from Illinois for nearly half a century, and president emeritus of American politics, has announced that he is going to retire from public life at the expiration of his present term, March 4, 1523.
Even after having broken all records in Congress the one time "clear" of the house, now nearly sixty-eight years old, has to give explicit reasons to the public for his action. He is an old stand-by and a great statesman. Both Democrats and Republicans expressed emotions of keen regret and sorrow when they learned of Mr. Cannon's decision.
Uncle Joe is not so spry; his eyes aren't quite so keen; and his voice isn't so steady as when he ran for district attorney on the same ticket with Lincoln. He frequently keeps his hat and coat on in the chamber now to protect him from the cold. And, as Uncle Joe says, he has some business affairs to look after "back in Vermillion County."
Who would cast reflections on an old man whose period of service covers fifty years of which he has been out of office only four years? Who could says that this alone were not quite enough to justify his getting out?
Uncle Joe has seen fit to lay down his duties as a public servant. Let us join with Congress and the country at large and hope that he may have many years of comfort, peace, contentment, and happiness "back in Vermillion County."
GROSS DISCOURTESY
Were one to judge from little incidents here and there, the student body of the University of Kansas is grossly discourteous.
The Concert Course crowds are a notable example of this unconscious rudeness. At the recent Friedman recital the famous pianist was quite obviously annoyed by the late arrivals. The program was started a full quarter of an hour after the time announced, and still almost a fourth of the audience arrived after the artist had played his opening selection. An attempt to depreciate the annoyance was made by holding the 'late comers' until the periods between numbers, but Friedman, unentemperamental, importable artist that he is, openly announced the interruptions by calmly waiting for the tardy ones to find their seats.
The University Concert Course brings great artists to K. U.; great artists who are highly impressionable. And the circumstances at the Friedman concert were not an exception, but rather the rule. What, then must be the impression that there artists carry away of their audiences here?
Let us pay these visiting performers the common courtesy of arriving at the announced time for the beginning of the program. It is the simplest way in which we can show an
appreciation for the rare talent that it is our privilege to enjoy through the medium of the concert course.
HAYS AND THE MOTION PICTURES
Former Postmaster General Hays will try to give to the motion picture industry what Judge Landis has attempted for professional baseball-general house cleaning.
Mr. Hays in assuming this mountainous task has let himself in for nreal man's sized job. Judge Landis had only to deal with the problem of allieded "throwing" of games on the diamond; Hays must deal with the inside, personal lives of thousands of people living under the most extraordinary conditions.
If, as it is maintained by some prominent cinema authorities, the scandals of Hollywood are greatly exaggerated by the press, Hays will be confronted with the difficult tass of changing one of the most salute things in the world—public opinion. If the scandals are as they have been represented, he will be confronted with the equally hard task of taking people from their accustomed activities and remodeling the private lives of many individuals. In the postal department Mr. Hays introduced many improvements that made a decidedly more efficient service. When he decided to leave the federal service, the department lost a valuable man and the motion picture industry acquired a good one. No one can forsee what his success will be in his new field but it is certain that the American public will
Plain Tales from the Hill
The Boy Scout movement has been so successful among the boys, that it seems a shame it cannot be extended to college people. The preeminent feature of the movement for universities is the boy who can be the do-a-goofed-day phase.
The possibilities of improving hill life on this basis are infinite. For instance, just speculate on the outcome if these were some of the good deeds
The Professor: I forgot to come a class today.
The Stude: I did not try to bluff through a single class.
The Journalist: I cut across the campus only seven times today.
The Librarian: I found a magazine a student wanted.
The Law: I stayed in the building and studied between classes notwithstanding the fact that it was a windy ay.
The Bobbed One; I did not comb my hair during a single recitation today.
The Multitude of Janitors (in chorus): We fired the furnaces at six钟 this morning.
The Laundress: I forgot to search shirt, and laundered a handkerchief without using starch.
The Landlady: I served neither
rolled cabbage, hash, prunes nor
bread pudding today.

"Why did you call that girl a Venus?"
"A-niche in the gymnasium," whispered someone laughingly as the dancing youth stopped to scratch it.

Snowshoes is an important sport at McGill University, Montreal, Canada. A team $m$ to represent the school in a carnival at Hanover, N.H., was chosen twice in series of competitions. The McGill team also possesses a championship ski队.
On Other Hills
The Oregon Agricultural College girl's small bore rife队 will vie with the Utah Agrile co-ed rife exports in their first intercollegiate match Saturday. The girls will shoot in their respective colleges, the final scores being telegraphed to the rival institutions.
The students at the University of Iowa are raising a student loan fund by giving a number of all-University dances.
Possibly the biggest event scheduled for this month is the long looked for Carolina smoker which is really the most universally popular attraction staged at the University of North Carolina in Charlotte to elaborate layout unknown to the first year men, will be staged February 24th.
Each letter man at Oregon Agricultural College will hereafter receive a ticket good for lifetime, admitting him to all athletic contests on the campus. The tickets will be made of aluminum, engraved with the athlete's name, the sport in which he participated, and the date.
The largest and most efficient athletic plant in the world may be justly claimed by Illinois University, upon completion of their $2,500,000 stadium. The stadium will seat 7,500 and will be in the center of a huge recreation field of one hundred acres, on which will be twenty-five basketball diamonds, soccer and hockey fields, one hundred lawn and clay tennis courts, a polo field and perhaps an artificial ice skating rink.
"Publication Dance" held once or twice a year, in the way the George Washington University writing men have of getting together. The staff of the weekly, the monthly come, and the year book unite to sponsor dancers who are interested in adding to the pleasure of the monotonous work of editing the college sheets.
Among the ten outstanding college tennis players of the country, selected by the United States Lawn Tennis Association there appears the name of McNeil Drumwright, University of Texas net star of the last two years. Drumwright is given seventh place in the ranking.
Playing with Chili Granger, Drumwright in 1920 went to the finals of the National Intercollegiate Doubles Championship tourney. Last year he played the best tennis of his career and won his vote to the semi-finals.
"Red" Robert will pilot the Centre Colomba next year. He has won four letters in football since going to Cen-tral. He was last in W. A. T. C. football.

The non-resident fee test will open in the state Supreme Court of California this morning. The result of this case will decide whether the University has the right to levy a non-resident fee on students whose intentions are to become permanent residents of the state.
Professor Hendrix of Ohio State University has been made Royal Knight by the King of Spain, an honor bestowed to him and his studies in the Spanish language.
Students at the University of Brussels, Belgium, have formed groups for the study of alcoholism as a social problem under the direction of La Movement Estudiante pour la Culture Morale and with the cooperation of the organized student body, 'A association Generale des Estudiants. Professor Jules Bordet of the Institute Pastur and winner of the Nobel Prize in 1921 is giving a series of university lectures on alcoholism.
American universities which have completed athletic stadiums within the decade, or have provided for their construction, include California, Ohio State, Yale, Illinois, Stanford, Chicago, Washington, Princeton, Kansas, Purdue, North Carolina, New York. Of these, Yalesum stadium cost $14 million and seats 70,000; Washinton spent $600,000, and can seat 50,000; California is spending $90,000 to seat 60,000; Illinois is planning a combined stadium and amphitheatre to cost $2,500,000; and Ohio State raised $1,250,000. No $3 stadium was built. The state has not met the immediate demand for seats. These facts, together with the recent discussion by President Lowell of Harvard University, on the rea-
titionship of intercollegiate athletics to the university, indicate two opposite trends which are likely to clash in the future.
Hereafter the 8000 acres of Stanford University property will be a state game reserve, and no one will be allowed to hunt or carry a gun within the University boundaries. The university affords an ideal habitat for many animals which it will now be possible to study at close range.
The Missionnaire basketball quintet of Whitman College defeated the strong Camp Lawls five-24 in five last Friday. Up to the final moments of play the contest was any body's.

The pamphlet will also contain material relating to sororities and fraternities, facts concerning organizations and interesting items pertaining to officials of all organizations. The book is primarily designed for the purpose of giving the student ready usable information.
With the purpose of uniting the universities of the world into an international association for universal higher education and culture an international university is being established at Brussels, Belgium.
