THE APPEARANCE OF EVIL.
"Personally, I think that most cases of overdrafts among the students are due to carollessness." Spoke one of the prominent Lawrence bankers. "But," he hastened to add, "carollessness is so often mistaken for the other thing that it is well to keep straight and thus avoid any possible embarrassment."
Avoiding the appearance of evil that's what it amounts to. There are some things about which we can afford to stand so straight that we lean backwards. When you blow the thing down, carelessness is but one step removed from dishonesty and resulted in it. Students have always enjoyed a rather unsavory reputation in this matter and, reverting to the patos, it's up to us.
These things are not light matters nor ones to be dismissed without a thought. What some of us misstake for a period of pure, unadulterated fun is in reality a character-building span of years. We may get away with some of these things and think they are smart now but they are sure to be to our disadvantage when we get into the "Big Game." Pay your bills; watch your check stubs; get a little system into your system. That's about all there is to the trick. And don't ever think that Ben Franklin didn't know his stuff when he said, "Honesty is the best policy!"
The search for professionalism is on. It is to be a thorough cleanup. All dark and diver secrets are to be investigated. A star player in LaFayette high school has been declared professional after investigation showed that he had once played in a Sunday School league.
THE KNICKERBOCKER
THEATRE DISASTER
Papers all over the country have been full of the terrible catastrophe at Washington during the last week. Probably no one has failed to read most of the details or to realize the terrificness of the situation. Men, women, and small children were suddenly brought face to face with with Death, while their loved ones powerless to help stood around in agony, waiting. A great blizzard raging made the scene more frightful. All the horrors of the Titanic disaster of recent years were suffered here, all because someone had blinded. A blunder, however is usually the cause of most disasters.
No one can tell of course whether the architect who designed the show-house, made a mistake, or the contractor who built it was simply saving money by substituting weak materials. Washington is accustomed to heavy snows. The last one which caused the tragedy was severe, but not phonemal because that part of the United States is accustomed to such storms. The falling of the roof of the theater supposedly was caused by the immense weight of snow on it. If雪 caused this building to cave
in, what will hinder two or three more, doing the same thing? Investigations will follow of course, but the other theaters cannot be investigated satisfactorily until they too cave in. Investigations invariably come at the wrong time, after all the harm is done. Now that a hundred people have been killed and injured, an inquiry will result in nothing but unhappiness to someone who perhaps was entirely sincere.
This great disaster simply shows up plainly, human carelessness. A whole ship load of people sank with the Titanic because a Captain was stubborn and wanted to buck an iceberg. The carless one in this last great trouble will never be found probably, but undoubtedly the carelessness was there. Catastrophes result sometimes when someone fails to consider the other fellow. This seems to have been what happened here.
This episode at Washington then ought to be a warning to everyone to think of others considerably before he takes a decisive step.
TRAFFIC COPS FOR THE AIR!
HAFE FOR AIR.
And now the air is crowded! With aircraft, wireless telephones, wireless telegraph and other modern devices utilizing space to an extent undreamed of only a few short years ago. President Harding and his cabin, in a recent meeting, spent an entire day in the discussion of the need for regulation of the use of the air.
The president has authorized and advised Secretary of Commerce Hever to call a meeting of army and navy experts and commercial representatives, to discuss possible legislation.
The very recent development of the wireless phone is the problem that will confront such a conference. Just how when this new device of modern communication becomes entirely perfected and commercialized, any restriction of air districts to be effected, or any special rights granted to different companies, is a problem that is yet unsolved. And the keepers of the Nation's coffers are already wondering about methods of collecting taxes for the use of the air.
At present, in army and naval aviation the practice of keeping an aerial "traffic cap" above the landing fields has been inaugurated, and may soon spread to Flying club and commercial fields.
All simple enough, isn't it? Probably the next thing will be speed limits and front-and-rear lights and license tags. Air Cops will patrol their beats in their speedy single-seated Spads, and the favorite out-door sport may soon be that of sitting on the front porch and watch the neighborhood 'cop' chase rich Mr. Howard's flighty son Edward across the horizon at a rate of 15 miles per hour. Truly, times do change!

Plain Tales from the Hill
The unprecedented has happened.
Dr Mahn forgot she had a class in
Critical Writing Tuesday! And more
than that, the class waited twenty
minutes before they thought of leaving.
He is famous, so far as fame goes here on the hill. And he teaches economies over in West Ad. He got quits beasted up during a lecture the other day. This is what he said: "A girl can teach me nothing around in a Cadillac and sucking on a cigarette, ought to be riding around in a baby cab and suckin go ga bottle."
"Oh yes," warbled the Sweet Young Thing as she was being shown around the army cantonment, "and I sup- ple to you that General for gener- information."
The following was also handed in as coming from a "munguity professor of K. U. economics fame (either they are all famous in that department, or it is the same proff)". The "fluctuation of prices can be compared to a musical demo I saw in New York." He body came out on the stage and sang "Every Little Movement Has a Mea-ring of its Own."

During the fall term at the University of Oregon, the women averaged higher in scholarship than the man. This is due, said Mrs. George Fitch, assistant to the registrar, to the fact that the girls are more conscious and have stricter house rules than the men.

The big or little company-which?
"You'll be buried in the big company," say some. "Everything is red tape and departments working against each other."
WHEN the talk turns to where should a fellow start work, a question arises on which college men naturally take sides.
"Your little company never gets you anywhere," others assert. "The bigger the company the bigger your opportunity."
Whether its plant covers a hundred acres or is only a dingy shop up three flights is on the face of it no indication of what you want to know—is such and such a company more concerned with developing men and ideas than boosting profits at the expense of service?
And that seems true—but in a different sense. Not physical size but bigness of purpose should be our standard for judging an industrial organization just as it is for judging a man.
Where will you find this company with n vision?
You must look deeper. What is the organization's standing in the industry? What do its customers say? What do its competitors say?
Conversely, if you are working for such a big-souled company, the very fact will argue that you yourself are a man worth while. For in business as in social life a man is known by the company he picks.
There are industries and there are companies which offer you every opportunity to grow. Spiritually they are as big and broad as the earnest man hopes to build himself. If you are that kind of man you will be satisfied with a company of no lower standards.
The electrical industry needs men who can see far and think straight.
