REASONABLE EXPENDITURES
Chancellor Lindley, in his New Year's Greetings, struck the keynote of the situation that students of the university are facing individually. He says, "We, as students of the university, can show our appreciation of the great opportunities of education provided by taxation of the people. We can show our loyalty by reasonable expenditures. Economy demotes a sound mind."
Last fall the Chancellor predicted that because of the financial and industrial depression more young men and women would enter K, U, than usual. His prediction was right. The people of Kansas, during these hard times, do not stop their education. Rather they increase it. They consider education as a reasonable expenditure.
On the other hand, is seems wise indeed that the little frills and burbelows of college life be closely shaved down. The war tax is off of coles and prune but with father's corn selling for thirty-five cents a bushel we can still afford to restrict the personal budget on such expenditures.
"You can always draw a Queen if you have the Jack," says the Orange and Black, Oklahoma A. and M. paper. That's true enough, but you may not be Ace high after all.
A NEW COLLEGE FAD
The establishment of traditions seems to be in vogue among the different colleges and universities of the country. Every time some new ceremony is introduced, it is "dubbed" a tradition, evidently to make it popular. We hear that M. U. has started one. The real traditions of a school need not be exploited—they are handed down from age to age, until they become a part of the school itself.
Webster says that a tradition is the delivery of opinions, doctrines, practices, rites, and customs from father to son or from ancestors to posterity; the transmission of any opinion from forefathers to descendants by oral communications, without written memorials.
If Webster be right, and we are inclined to think that he is, how can the annual Christmas tree instituted at the University this year be called a tradition? It is a good idea, and every loyal Kansan hopes that it will eventually become a custom of K. U., but it can hardly be called a tradition at its birth. Can Missouri rightfully call the memorial service honoring a former president a tradition? It may be the starting of an annual tribute to the memory of one who did much for the cause of education but the making of a traditional tribute requires a great span of years. Seldom is the making of a tradition visible.
All universities and colleges have numerous traditionary customs. Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Kansas—all have rites which are considered as a sacred part of the institutions which those names represent. But how many are traditions? Is Webster right? He has generally been accepted as such.
A CONTRIBUTION TO JOURNALISM
Henry Watterson, for years editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and for decades known throughout the South as "Marse Henry," died recently. His passing marked the loss of an outstanding figure in journalism. The dear old man was a remarkable follower of personal journalism with his contemporaries in that type of work, Medill, Greeley, Dana and the rest.
"Marve Henry" was a firebrand. Among his last
works was a series of editorials which were nationally read during the first years of the World War. He ended every one of those articles with the expression "To Hell with the Kaiser and the Hohenzollern." His trenchant pen was always full of the richest moment.
Watterson's type of journalism is almost extinct. That fact does not lessen the inspiration he has lent to his profession however. His courage, his spirit, his fine sense of patriotism has made clear to the people of the United States the true office of the American newspaper. Likewise, "Marse Henry" has made his country a better country, a country of a keener thinking people than it would have been without him.
"The Lever, of Colorado Springs High School, is a very neat, interesting paper. The jokes are good and the exchange column is also excellent. It is indeed everything a school paper should be."—Central Luminary, Central High School, K.C.
Here at last are the real criteria for judging a newspaper.
FOR THE NEW YEAR
O Bells that ring for a glad New Year,
O Bells that ring on the Northern wind,
Ring us a life of breader cheer,
Ring us the art of being kind.
Ring us a host of simple joys,
a sympathy more broad and deep,
And ring us perhaps some sadder days,
so we may know why others weep.
Ring in, O, Bella, a erhie love,
Ring out the spite that warps the mind;
Ring us the bost of a thousand joy.
The simple Joye ring. Firing
the simple Joye ring.
RV. ARIETH JOB MURPHY.
Plain Tales from the Hill
AN AFTER CHRISTMAS NIGHTMARE
Shades of term papers walking arm in arm with the spirit "I-only-wild-Id-studied-the-first-part-of-semester" up a mountain cal Work. Terrible stumbling blocks of quizzes flunked, and pits of class cuts. A chaos of final exams, and then a vision of a monster handling out F'$_s$-nothing but F'.
Irate cub-reporter: "Anybody seen a 'Plain Tale' to-day?"
Helpful Friend; "Sure, Pi ran down the Hill in front of me."
Professor Hallen of the School of Law yesterday lamented to his class that school had to be held on January 2. He had to miss a New Year's party and it bad had his way, he said. Monday would have been a holiday. A voice from the rear suggested: "Well, Prof. you can do your bit; let go men!"

On Other Hills
A stud at Lindewood college, a school for girls in St. Charles, Mo., recently sustained a fractured kip in football practice held in the college. The game is being played by junior athletes included in the athletic program of the school this year.
An organization called the Mudslinger's Club has recently been formed in the University of Washington. It claims to be the only organization of its kind in existence.
THE HIRED ATHLETE
Healthy rivalry and clean, honest competition are found only among the amateurs. This is because the amateur has no direct financial interest in the game. He plays for sport, not for profit; it is a recreation, not a business, and square dealing is the first rule of the game.
University of Washington Daily.
In these days of baseball investigations, the banishment of horse racing and the general distrust of professional athletics, sport for sport's sake is enforced to the educational institutions and a few lone athletic clubs.
When the professional enters, he makes a business out of the game, and subjects it to the sharp practices that destroy good sportsmanship. Graft, the stealing of players and the fixing of games are a few of the things professionalism has contributed to our American sports.
The college is the backbone of amateur athletics, and, as such, it must be kept free of professionalism if we are to have sport for sport's sake and not for profit. Once the salaried player takes a foothold in college athletics the days of real sports begin. The sport of which we are so justly proud will degenerate into a poor miserable thing of salary cheeks and bonuses.
The much-discussed athletic scholarship is more nothing nor less than a form of professionalism. To pick out a promising athlete and pay him a salary as long as he turns out for sports is exactly the same thing as hiring a player. If we want to keep college athletes free from the stigmatization in any form of commercialized sport, we cannot afford to admit the seeds of corruption in the form of athletic scholarships.
YOU CAN'T PLEASE EVERYBODY From the Cornell Daily Sun
"Extract from two letters recently received; 'Why don't you give Cornel a fairer deal in your column?' (2) "What's the big idea in boosting Cornel as you have lately above all other universities?" Answer- "You know the people any of the time?"-Grantland Rock in the New York Tribune.
Perfectly true, you can't. No matter how well you do you are bound to be kickes. For instance The Big Red Team did a mighty good job this year, and so did the cross country team, and so did the soccer team. And yet there are lots of people dissatisfied—only they happen to be on the other side of the fence. It's all in the way you happen to look at it.
TRADITIONS
From the Daily Texan
It is quite obvious that traditions do not suddenly spring full grown from the mind of some energetic worker. They are the result of a slow growth whose course could not have been predicted, and it is only after years have passed that they take on the campus a part that entitles them to be known as traditions. It is necessary, however, that there be a starting point, and while no one can tell now just what development a custom may show in the field, the invented monsters such as this that campus customs find their origin.
When one remembers that in an ordinary column there are 10,000 pieces of type, there are seven wrong positions that a letter may be put in, and there are 70,000 chances to make errors, millions of chances for transpositions, he will not be too critical. In the short sentence, "To be or not to be," by transposition alone it is possible to make 2,759,022 errors. So you can see the perils that beset a printer—Exchange.
Trustees of one of the school districts of Santa Clara county, California, are looking for a teacher who is willing to dress suitably for a country school. According to requirements she should have her knees on her waist and below the elbows—Exchange.
