TUESDAY, JANUARY 10, 1922
If ififering of library books is as bad as reported the job of moving the contents of Spooner, to the new building a couple of years from now will be a comparatively small one.
HURRAH FOR THE HOOP GAME
The K. U. basketball team has cleared the first hurdle in the race for the 1922 valley championship. The prospects for a victorious five are very promising. Right now it looks as though the team that beats the Jawhackers out of the pennant will have to be one of the strongest teams in the west. Kansas looks strong both on paper and the court. A basketball team that can win from Minnesota 32 to 14 is not to be disregarded when considering teams of winning caliber. Minnesota defoated Yale and Northwestern. Thus, according to "dope", K. U. has the edge on these basketball teams, representing the largest institutions of their kind in the country. Kansas may well be proud of such carry season successes in the court game.
But are we out proud? Five hundred royal fans turned out to witness the Grimmell victory, Friday night. Saturday night three thousand Nebraskans cheered the Corkhuskers to a win over Drake. Kansas can do as well, but now is the time to start. Let us not wait until the deciding games of the season.
To coach Allen goes much credit for a winning team. He has rounded out what looks like a winner. With the "thundering thousand" loading pep, at the games, another championship for Kansas looms strong.
Drake comes here tonight to try to stop the Jayhawkers. With 100 per cent enthusiasm, the invaders will be turned back. Let it not be said that K. U. does not support her basketball team as she does her gridiron warriors.
The dail Eireann, to put it another way, voted England her independence at a recent meeting.
THE STUDENT AND THE SHOW
The usual show at the theater of a college town needs no comment. It is merely a one night stand of the company that is on its way to or out of the nearby metropolis. It may be the 2-year-old musical comedy, "Ten Nighties In A Bed Room," or it may be a classical opera "straight from Boston." But it is a show—some place to go, something to break the monotony.
Once in a while something unusual comes along, something that the poor student from the short grass country, born and reared out in "Main Street," has always heard of and longed to see. A Hammer or an Olcott, or a Lauder comes to town. Too often the student, cramped for lack of funds, cannot get up nerve to buy a ticket. He lets the opportunity slip by. In so doing, he is omitting a phase of his education that he could get at perhaps no higher cost in relation to its worth than some of his college courses.
No one expects that the college man or woman should go to every entertainment scheduled on the bill boards. An occasional visit to the theater, however, is a good stimulant for anyone.
A FAIRY TALE BY EDISON AND FORD
A PARTY
Two most estimable gentlemen, Thomas A. Edison and Henry Ford, have collaborated on a brand new vision and are now offering it to the people in pamphlets published at Dearborn, Michigan and scattered about free as the wind. It is in connection with the Muscle Shoals nitrate plant on which the United States government and Ford are about to deal. The dream proper, though, has to do with a thing far more fantastic and
unquestionably more dangerous than a mere powder plant. It is about paper money.
Here is the idea that has struck both the great men and which they unhesitably advocate: The Muscle Shaols proposition requires $30,000,000 more money before it is finished. The government cannot spare that much for the work. Furthermore, it does not like to issue interest bonds at this time.
"Very well," say Ford and Edison, "do it another way. Go ahead and print $20,000,000 worth of paper currency which shall be non-taxable and the security for which shall be the Muscle Shoals plant itself. This would not only increase the public money but would also increase the public wealth—real wealth.
"Furthermore, it would set a precedent. It would show the United States and every other country that such a thing can be done. It would do away with the old idea that a government should pay interest on its own money. It would eliminate gold as a standard of value within the country and would thus throw that metal back to its real value, which is much lower than the artificial value it has as a coin."
The Ford-Edison plan is full of such remarkable principles that the pamphlet describing it is really an interesting work. The worst part of it all is that someone may get it in hand who will believe it. The part which tells how a government may create wealth with a printing press is perhaps the most humorous. The paragraph that explains how the paper money may have for security the tangible Muscle Shoes property is perhaps the most pathic, for it brings to mind the time when France tried the experiment of issuing currency secured by public property back in 1750 to 96. The two planners should read about that—how it finally took 288 such bills to equal one specie of the same denomination; and then how they were all finally cancelled as being worth nothing at all; also, how the suffering that followed that period in France was almost as bad as war.
But surely, the Ford-Edison plan is not supposed to be taken seriously, anymore than Edison's questions last spring were all all supposed to be answered. Nevertheless the thing shows a rather fanciful imagination after all.
Student Opinion
FOR YOU TO DECIDE
Soocrates, that ancient philosopher, once said that it he could get up to the highest place in the city he would lift up his voice and make this proclamation: "What mean you, fellow citizens, that you turn every stone to scrape wealth together, and take so little care of your children to whom one day you must relinquish it all?"
If our University children take their lessons from that ancient philosopher, this writer believes that our universities in the next decade will produce men like Socrates and Shakespeare.
Past is past; forget it. We as students of a university are big enough to take care of ourselves.
If we, instead of regulating our dancing calendars would regulate our studies of tomorrow, we would be doing much better. If, instead of filling gasoline into our brains we would fill them with knowledge, we would build up a road that would carry us over the top. If, instead of worrying about good times we would worry about school life we would again gain all the wealth and happiness of life.
If we are not going to do what we should as students, this writer believes that if Soferates were living today he would make this proclamation: "What mean you follow citizens that you are spending your money for your sons and daughters while they are wasting their time in dance halls? Why don't you adopt a worthy son and a daughter and give to them that golden opportunity of an education?"
Socrates died a long time ago and we think that he can play our game as it please us and get by with it. Yes, we might fool our parents but we can not fool them because they cannot escape OLD TIME. He will put in the end
Get a copy of La Fontaine and read about the grasshopper and the ant. When the biting cold weather came ("Quand la bise fut venus," as the French writer puts it) the grasshopper went to call on the anit to ask a little assistance, knowing that he had been toiling and had been storing away food instead of wasting time.
This will give an idea, very faint, of how much of a fool a young man can be, when he starts out to be a fool in earnest; throwing away every chance that he or anybody else could want.
A little later the grasshopper, starved and frozen,
had given up both dancing and singing.
But if we must be insects, let us be respecting insects like the working bees or ants, not dancing grassopers like the French writer's "Quand la bise fut venus."—Oscar V. Mamanig.
"What were you doing all summer?" asked the ant.
"I'm one," replied the gopher.
"Oh you sang," replied the ant. "I am delighted to hear it. Well, dance now!"
On Other Hills
The inter-society council of Williamette University, Salem, Oregon, has revolutionized the pledge system of the girls' literary societies on the campus and has made it possible for every girl to be a member of one organization. Each girl is required to turn in her portion of society and that body is notified of the student's choice.
The tennis association of Cornell has formed an indoor tennis league.
Cornell has a Women's Cosmopolitan Club.
There is a growing interest in the minor sports in the University since there is a possibility of holding intercollegiate contests in boxing and wrestling. Other universities are taking keen interest in the minor sports too. Cornell has recently organized a swimming club for the promotion of interest in that sport, and Columbia, New York, is already selecting men for the varsity wrestling team.

Contemporary Comment
The Campus Slacker From the Miehlean Daily
This class of man likes to feel the importance of serving on some committee but he does not like to do the work. He not only prevents results being obtained as they should be but prevents someone else from taking the job and doing the work as it should be done.
But it does not take very long to recognize the species and when once recognized he finds his honors dwarfed. Don't he a campus slacker.
Prominent on the well-known figures on every campus is the man who is only too glad to accept an office or place on a committee to get his name in the paper, but who will not live up to the responsibility of the position; a more serious, moreEssary work for someone else to do. Such a man is a campus slacker.
The Philadelphia Record (Dem.) pays its respect to Senator Lodge as "the reputed author" of the "slovery language used in the treaty." As we
"When it is remembered that the article (Article II of the Four Power Pact) contains only six lines, it becomes remarkable for the errors and ambiguities it contains. It speaks of the high parties agreeing as between themselves, when among should have been used. The word between, when properly applied, I refer to only two parties, not to an infidelete number. Again, these contracting Powers are to respect their rights, etc., when it is clear that what one another should be required to respond to one's rights. Add to these grammatical solecisms the careless use of the words insular possessions and insular dominations and it is no wonder the President and a good many other persons failed to grasp its exact meaning."
