A COLLEGE DAY
Why not a College Day? The Engineers have their day. The Law and the Medies have other customs which unite these schools in a common spirit and make of them a unity.
It is easier, of course, for these smaller schools to bring about this cooperation and feeling of common fellowship. They are more compactly organized and the individual students are more easily reached. It has been demonstrated that a loyalty to the school as whole can be fostered when there is also a distinct group loyalty.
The College is a large unwieldy body, it is true, and therefore hard to organize. Probably the custom which would best bring about this feeling of fellowship would be a College Day with a parade or any other feature that might be decided upon.
Why let the Laws and the Engineers appropriate school spirit as something belonging only to them. Let's have a College Day.
The departments of the College are numerous enough and there is enough variety among them to make up a most interesting procession. It is to be doubted whether many students really know just what departments there are in the College. The College to them is a vague indefinite body in which everything that is not distinctly of the Law or Engineering Schools is grouped.
THE OLD RALLY
"So this is a 'tail-shirt parade'? This from an "Old Grad," as he stood on a Massachusetts street corner last Saturday night and watched the orderly procession of white-clad students wind their snake-like way down the street.
Then he wanted to know a number of things. Where was the trolley jerking? Where the raiding parties that in older times looted store after and scattered their booty among the student crowds? And finally, bitterly: Where is the red blood of the student body? What is missing in the present-day Jayhawk?
No power on earth could have curbed the old student body when it was bent on a "rally," the "Old Grad" asserted. Speeches were well enough in their place in those days, but their place was not at rallies. And the rally of old was not a preconceived and planned out proposition. It just broke out. From somewhere would sound the resonant call of "Rallie-cee," as a small body of students moved down one of the streets in the students resident section. Back and forth it would echo, coupled with the warning "Everybody Out." And everybody was soon "out." Dawn every street, across acres, up alleys, small bodies of students hurried to the fast-growing main body, and the rally was under way.
They were great things, those old
rallies. Well—yes, maybe they did develop rather lawless tendencies at times, but the local merchants and residents developed in like manner a sort of "Cest in rally," and let it go at that.
All this is the case of the aggrieved Old Grad. What is ours? Can we successfully defend our new system as being conductive of a better brand of "pep," a truer University spirit? Your Old Grad will point to a number of recent incidents that would indicate that we cannot. Our new idea is right. The student body is almost universally convinced of this. But we are faced with the necessity of defending and justifying it with an indication of that better brand of "pep" that it is supposed to create.
BACK ON CHARTED SEAS
Scientists who study mass psychology tell us that many things the nation has experienced within the last three years were indicative of the post-war reaction. The sudden lessening of strain after the armistice caused an increase in jazz, crime waves, law defiance, mob spirit, and bobbed hair; symptomatic, the savants explain, of our departure from the paths of conformity.
Of course the students of this University have not escaped exhibiting some of the characteristics of the times. During the last school year there was sufficient evidence that some of the students were not immune to the spirit of general license. There was a home brew party with resulting publicity harmful to the University. Indecent dancing was practiced until stopped by the University authorities and the co-operation of the students. The contents of the last number of the Sour Owl were representative of nothing permanent in our University life.
The publication of this number of the Sour Owl was the culmination of that attitude which resulted in the outbreak of some of the regrettable
outbreak of some of the regrettable occurrences of last year. We let us hope that it was the last manifestation of the relaxation of conduct and deportment which we students experienced in common with the rest of the world. Are we wrong this year in sensing a healthier tone? We believe that the students are now exercising a stricter discipline over their behavior. They realize that conduct which carries with it anything of impropriety reflects on themselves and on the University. The members of this year's staff of the Sour Owl have expressed themselves in an emphatic manner concerning their wishes as to the matter to be contained in the first number. The contributors are asked to furnish wit, humor and jokes for
turnish witt, humor and jokes for which later there will be no cause to apologize.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The new University auditor now has the James Bros. in custody.
If the rail strike is effective, wouldn't it be an original idea to have school right on through the holidays?
After having asked Mr. Stower five times if he wished to ask a question, Doctor Mahin said, "I'm content making you want to ask a question."
"See America first and then come back to look over the college students," was the offered offer one of the students in Feature Writing class.

Nikola Tesla
THE NAME of Nikola Tesla will always be associated with the invention and earlier developments of the induction motor. In fact, at one point, almost all of apparatus was known, almost exclusively as the "Tesla" motor.
Tesla devised this motor back near the beginnings of the electrical business, when practically everything was built by "cut and try" methods, and none of the accurate analytical processes were used in production. It may be said broadly that Tesla knew two fundamental facts—first, that if a magnet were moved across a sheet of conducting metal, it would tend to drag this metal along; and, second, that the effects produced by suitably disposed polyphase currents acting on a stationary magnetic structure.
Perhaps others, at that time, also knew these two facts, but if so, apparently they knew them only as two isolated facts. Tesla considered them in combination and the result was a new type of motor, what is now known broadly as the "induction motor." These two facts, in combination, represent a fundamental conception, and all of the many millions of horsepower of induction motor are based upon the two world, are based upon the two fundamentals.
文
Naturally, Westinghouse, having fought single handed to advance the alternating current system, was superseded by motor of motor. What if the new motor
did require polyphase circuits, while all existing circuits were single phase? What if it did require lower frequency than any existing commercial circuits? These were merely details of the future universal alternating system. The important thing was to design an alternating current motor, which Tesla's invention offered. Tesla furnished the fundamental idea.
He and his associates, working for Mr. Westinghouse, proved that thoroughly operative induction motors could be built, provided suitable frequencies and phases were available. What matter if they did not produce an operative commercial system at all? What matter if it needed the powerful analytical engineers of later date to bring the system to a truly practicable stage—men with intimate constructive knowledge of magnetic circuits—men on intimate terms with reactive coefficients and other magnetic attributes totally unattractive. What matter if it needed the motor was made commercial, and it has been a tremendous factor in revolutionizing the electrical industry.
Probably no one electrical device has had more high-power analytical and mathematical ability expended upon it than the induction motor. The practical result has been one of the simplest and most effective types of motors, which was used today. Thus Tesla's fundamental ideas and Westinghouse's foresight have led to an enormous advance in the world's development.
