If it were not for H. G. Wells, where would a great many learned people of today fit topics for argument in class room and drawing room?
A DILLER, A DOLLAR, A TEN O'CLOCK SCHOLAR
A student's life is just one tardy mark after another.
Exerting all the strength of a modern Hercules, he cannot make that 8:30 on schedule. Then the Professor loses himself in explaining'a controversy for the next hour and ten minutes, and by that time the student wakes up and finds out that he is late to the next class.
The student arrives in his third hour class room just ten minutes late. He is late because he spent the time explaining to his second hour Professor how his first hour Professor always continued his class after the whistle blew. He is stumped as to what kind of a rule he will be颁布 to his third hour Professor, so he spends the hour thinking up a good one; he's using his brain of course, but not along a very noble highway.
There's really no use to become excited over the social conditions, because statistics clearly show that marriages keep a little ahead of divorces.
It too bad that classes aren't held in moving class rooms something like the railroad idea. Then if a student were late to his class he would simply have to spend the hour in doleful reflection, while his class went on happily and undisturbed.
HELP THE POSTOFFICE
The Postmaster-General is making a plea this week that patrons co-operate with the service to expedite the handling of letters; the holiday rush has begun and from now on until the first of the year the employees will be overworked in an effort to deliver Christmas mail on time.
Postal authorities point out the means of co-operation. One is that you do not send small-sized envelopes through the mail as these must be handled separately. Another is that we address our letters and parcels accurately and that we put return addresses on them.
The national problem of handing mail is typified to a great degree here in Lawrence. But in addition to ordinary difficulties there are our four thousand students here during the winter. They receive and send more than the average amount of mail.
Consider the problems of the Lawrence postoffice. There are students moving from one rooming house to another with never a thought that they should inform the postoffice of their change. Students should also remember that the mail carrier is not a walking directory of various fraternities and organizations on the Hill. If a letter arrives in Lawrence addressed to a student at a certain Greek-letter house, but this house is indicated by Greek letters, and not by a street address, the mail clerk or carrier will have to bother to look up the street address in his directory. Another angle to this manner of addressing letters is that there are many organizations with similar Greek names. Is it any wonder a letter sometimes is mis-delivered?
We should ask that our street address always be put on envelopes. This would save hours for the postal service. In return, we students would be given a faster and more accurate mail service.

Plain Tales from the Hill
Heard in Weidies
"Hello Dick, isn't this a grand day—I just love rainy days anyway—sort of show up what a disposition I have, don't you think? Drat those goulashes I wish they hadn't come back in style, cause I do hate to wear them, but I simply have to do it, when everyone else does. Eat? yes, of course we want something to eat—what do you suppose we came in here for—to powder our noses? Oh by the way, I forgot to look at the mirror when I came in. Huh? Oh, yes, I forgot that haven't ordered. What in fact is going to not to eat Glady's? His such a在意 and you have to wait all day has a thing to manage with you, (impatient) I am going to order, please give me a little time that impudent girl—wonder Dick can't keep his girls—the hurry people so. Oh, you are going to have a Hot maple with marshmallow and peanuts? Well, I guess I'll take a homemade with a bowl of chili and shrimp salad. Did you ask me what? Well, how would you like to be whattened—now I ask you? Say, I wish you would look at that ump there with that little Sig Alf apled—they say he rushes her all the time, and I don't think that she is a bit cute—why she does need me, but they say that lots of you have a date every night! it's too expensive—and for me a date who? why that little Sig Alf I was talking about—and when I wouldn't go why he called her up—and she went, the poor boob—I don't actually see how some girls can be such fools—now can you? Here is our order—Well, can you tie that? She brought me crab salad—and I wanted shrimp. Well, I suppose I'll have to take it though, I hate to have to talk so much to get it changed. Cunion let's eat—I'm famished.

Student Opinion
Is It "So Long Jazz?"
Is jazz music dying? Some people think that it is. Others, more hope that it is.
Certain conditions however do not seem to indicate that it is really on the decline. It would seem that perhaps this particular form of music is changing from a blast of blare and noise to simple melodies and soft syncopations with occasional 'harmonies' interspersed. Nevertheless it is still jazz and has a similar sound, which are returned and grabbed by the public each month seems to indicate that it is still in vogue in certain sets.
An editorial of December 7 is opened with "Jazz music is dying," say the critics. Critics! Critics of what? Is the critica of legitimate music capable of criticizing Jazz? He may be. But in most cases he will criticize from the view-point of the haggardness that the critics of men in one field can be valid in a field in which not are schooled? It is doubtful if Ted Lewis, the King of all Jazzland, would carry much weight as a critic of the performance of the London Symphony. Nor could the conductor of the London Symphony tell much about the musics of a careerless Ted Lewis Band. The difference with the two is too great.
The origin of jazz music is still in doubt. Granting that its antecedents are questionable, this fact cannot be held up against it. Much of our "better" music has been adapted from primitive musical expressions. It is no more practical to condemn jazz because of its alleged African origin than it is to condemn Professor Skilton's compositions because of their Indian origin.
Certain types of jazz music may be demoralizing and these are the types that public censure will eventually kill. These particular types began to recede with the advent of prohibition and since then there has been a marked change in the whole room of jazz. In the past two years the tendency has been to soften it with muted corns and trombones, but not with bass or drums. A great portion of these changes have been introduced by men with talent and education in music who have gone into jazz for business or personal reasons. The effect as a whole has been to make jazz music more re-used and it is this change that has kept it alive and will let it live in the future. The vendors of this novelty in music realize that constant introduction of novelies is necessary to the life of jazz itself. Anything that tends to be monotonous stay and in this fact jazz has found popularity.
At a local store dealing in records it has been ascertained that approximately eight out of every ten records are lost.
Manufacturers of high grade saxophones find it is almost impossible to keep production large enough to supply the demand. At present the prospect of the manufacturers having a place once a place has been found for it in the legitimate band.

It is difficult to feature any return of the modern pleasure seeker to the Strasswa nutz or the Mozart minutes. Yet some songs seem to play with eventual motion, indeed seem almost as abstraction to most of us as the statement that jazzy is dying.
