'That question is being asked by many students who have noted the maintenance of high prices at the Varsity and Bowersock this fall and winter. Many other movie houses over the state and some in Kansas City have gone back to a pre war basis of admission charges or at least partially so. Here in Lawrence where the movies receive a bounteous student patronage as well as attendance from the townpeople, the issue becomes increasingly apparent that the owners of these theatres can well afford to reduce their prices to say nothing about placing that admission at a minimum. True, the local managers get good pictures. No one can ask for better photophaps than The Three Musketeers, or The Little Minister, or The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. But what happens every time a show of such quality comes to Lawrence? An even higher price is tacked on to the already excessive admission charge that is maintained for just ordinary shows. And the majority of these pictures are ordinary—very much so. In proportion to their actual value the prices charged to see them are extraordinary. Students who have been working hard all week are not hard to satisfy. In fact they are extremely easy to entertain—they need change in some sort of diversion and consequently they will crowd the movie theatres despite their expectation of a mediocre bill. The movie can satisfy an urgent need for proper recreation for the students over Fridays and Saturdays. Yet it is a slim chance that the student movie patron gets any more than just a more change from his work; he usually gets only the stereotyped attempt to portray a love story, the outcome of which he can predict before it has been running five minutes. For the bountiful patronage that Lawrence movie theatres get, they should either give us better photoplays or reduce the price. They can well afford to do either. Such prices were probably justifiable during the war but the war has been over three years. It seems true that the more patronage Lawrence movies get, the more they take advantage of it. Twenty-two cents is the price in the summer. ATHLETICS AT HOME Since the Kansas-Missouri basketball game there has been much discussion as to how large a crowd the battle between the ancient rivals would have drawn if played in Convention Hall. Several Kansas City paper contend that more than ten thousand would attend making a gate receipt of an equal amount. And in comparison to this number is the two thousand which at- ended the game in Robinson Gymnastium. Yet, the Gymnastium was practically filled to capacity and could have seated but few more. All this, Kannas Citians argue, goes to show that it would be advantageous for both Universities to play their basketball games in Convention Hall. In dollars and cents, yes. But the University of Kansas is not maintaining athletics for the benefit of Kansas City. The patronage of the metropolitan sport lovers is courteously solicited, it is the support of the University students which puts the old fight and spirit into any 'microcollegiate game.' If the Kansas-Missouri basketball game were played in Kansas City, many of the ardent University rooters would be denied the opportunity if seeing the game. Only a few would be able to attend these games in the City. And it would probably be as unlucky for these students to go to Kansas City as for the urban people to journey to Lawrence. Athletics at the University of Kansas, while it is desirable that they be self-supporting, are not run for the sake of the almighty dollar alone. HISTORY EMPHASIZED Secretary Hughes' announcement of the settlement of the Shantung question marks the solution of one of the most complex problems in the history of world affairs. As one of the great epochs of the twentieth century it will be set down by historians as a most important event of the present age. The Washington Conference has virtually turned the diplomatic circle loose, the authors include out. Now many students in the University of Kansas are actually informed on the points that have been throused out it the Conference? The importance of history in the college curriculum cannot be overestimated as a factor in understanding the big events of today. But students are overlooking the opportunity to educate themselves in some of the world's greatest history in the making. Unless a radical change is taken in the hapazharad reading of the present students, the readers of history twenty years from new will be better informed on the questions of today than the present student. Can the American people hope to solve their problems when they are not well informed? Six years ago this spring the United States entered into a terrible conflict on European soil. There was much talk of "making the world safe for democracy" but how many of the men who actually fought and died in the war knew the real reason for the struggle? A surprisingly small percentage were in possession of actual knowledge of the historical and contemporary factors involved in the source of the trouble. This deplorable condition is little better today when vital matters of American interest are at stake. The present generation is witnessing the formation of pacts and treaties that will affect it vitally during the next two decades, but it hasn't the time nor the inclination to inform itself on questions that determine the future of the *world's peace. The idea that the citizen exists for the state is obsolete. The works of American have, for the most The last call for 'copy' for the "Truth" number of the Sour Owl has been sounded. The call has been made to the student body for contributions to he Owl as it is impossible for the staff to write all the material for he University's magazine of wit and humor. people or most part, accepted the theory of democracy. Whether democracy will prove a success or a failure depends on how well the individual citizen assumes the responsibilities of citizenship. SOUR OWL COPY As the tone of the "Truth" number will depend on a large extent on the contributions received it is hoped that students will exercise due care and precaution to submit only copy that will reflect with credit the spirit of the University and the aims of the Owl staff to get out a clean magazine. A Campus Romance Slutz: "Hot Dog, I'm sure goin' graduate now." She sora tsum smiled, I, vainly, too; She sora stopped, I sora, too. We sure admire Young Tommy Stork Who can get drunk By smelling a cork. Slutz: "The treasurer charged me 5 for Diploma Fee today." On Current Topics "It is all right to worry about the Seniors having their pictures taken," says Goldie in answer to Dinty, "but who thinks of the poor photographer who has been gazing at that wonderfull community for over three months now?" She may not be wise or witty. But she sets my brain in a whirl. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. thing And she's a dog-gone dangerous girl Widow I sent my son to Princeton With a pat upon his back With a pat upon his chest I spent ten thousand dollars Would a motion be in order to grant the Sigma Nus "out of town date privileges" at the sorority houses?

"Can you tell me my grade?" queried the student as he gazed appealingly at the prof. Now it happened that this professor was kind hearted; moreover he believed in breaking things gently, so he answered by asking, "Do you know what luck is?" "Luck?!" The student had vision of a "B" or a "C" where he had expected only a "D" at best. "Lack" the nofr, continued is something that entails another fellow to pass where you have failed. The long line of tired exasperated students crawled by the transcript deck. Receiving their transcripts they hastily scanned them to see the unfortunate groups they might have made the last semester. Some smiled with relief, many sighed, a few looked startled, and now then one grounded. Of this last class one man, finding his card a symphony in red "Fs" and black "I's", moaned, "My transcript's just like Germany." just like Germany? "How so?" asked a tired voice back in the line. in the foul. "It's full of bad marks," muttered the flunking one as he shuffled away to an adviser. On Other Hills Fewer and cheaper dances are advocated in a platform for reform of social activities among students at the University of Wisconsin. The faculty and students' committees have posed this challenge by check excess and give social activities a wider range. Rules for the freshman girls at Colorado College have been adopted. False hair and ear bobs were especially condemned by the mighty ladies and the first year ladies now appear with their locks suspended in pig-fur. The fad of horseback riding at Indiana University has resulted in five girls being injured. Accidents have been caused by horses running away, saddle girths coming loose, and inability to ride. Twenty thousand dollars has been guaranteed the University of Indiana by Wasaue University in Japan, if the Hoosiers will send a baseball team from the University to Japan for a series of games next fall. Indiana and the decision now rests with the university athletic committee. Colorado University has a hiking club. Trips are taken into the mountains and carons in the vicinity of Boulder. Indians in America, upon the initiative of Uniqi Carnovale of Chicago have presented the University of Illinois with a costly leather-bound photographic reproduction of the original of Dante's "Inauguration" in commemoration of the six hundred anniversary of the death of Dante. Faculty men are included in a riffle sarksmanship club recently formed t Cornell University. A new rule at Grinnell college provides that all lights in rooming hours must be out at ten-thirty on week nights and at eleven-fifteen on Friday and Saturday nights. Violation of the rule more than a certain number of times will be punished by suitable penalties. Oregon College now has a complete paper mill valued at $10,000 which is capable of turning out paper of any issued size or quality. Girls of Northwestern University are proving to be real markers and are giving the boys close competition. Oregon Agricultural College received an engraved citation from the War Department in recognition of its services in establishing a unit of the Student Army Training Corps during the world war. Four hundred girls at Oregon Agricultural College are registered in swimming this semester. The instructors in the sport are planning of general swimming meet. They believe that there should be some "Annette Kellerman" in such a large number of swimming students. The senior class has undertaken the task of restoring the old campus bell, a historic relic of the early days of the school, to a place of honor on the campus at the University of California. Steps have been taken to connect all the colleges and universities on the coast using the Pacific Intercollegiate News Service by means of wireless. The University of Colorado is to receive dispatches directly from the University of Utah, and Oregon Agricultural College will in the future exchange news with the University of Oregon by wireless. Other universities and colleges have used the plan with success. Twenty specialists have been secured to aid Dr. George R. Hill in the special courses for scoutmasters which are being offered from January 33 to February 4 at Utah Agricultural College. WANT ADS All.
