WHEN IS WIT WITTY?
One month of school is over and the open season for criticism of student publications is on. In a very few days the first issue of the Sour Owl will make its appearance on the campus. Will it be a good one? That seems to be the paramount question. The editors say it will but now they are striking an altogether new problem. The students themselves don't seem to want a nice, clean sheet. If the striking examples of copy which are pushed through the little slot from day to day is any criterion, they surely do not.
Mindful of the criticism that has been passed in previous years, the staff is doing everything in its power to give the students what, as one aptly put it, "wont have to be read surreptitiously and with burning checks." But the staff can't invent every solitary line of wit and humor that goes in the pages. They depend on the contributors for the body of the magazine. If the students of the University of Kansas really want something that is nice, it evolves upon them to turn in work of their own that they wont be ashamed to read in print!
UNINTERESTING PROFS.
Hail to the prof who has the courage to make his course interesting! He is assuming a burden of proof. He is, one might say, flying the track. Nevertheless, he is making a coup in the name of humanity for the good of the human race.
Some instructors seem to have the notion that they must be serious. Others are evidently imbued with the idea that the subject matter of their courses is the all-important thing in the lives of not only themselves but of their students, and they unwittingly try to cram it down the mental gullets of the unreceptive undergraduates in its most dry and bitter state. As a result, the students have double duty to perform while in such instructors classes—to learn something, and to stave off the ever encraching tormentor, slumber. Life is too short, living expenses too high, and too many alternatives are available for one to spend five, three, or even two hours a week continuously guarding against the possibility of falling asleep.
Perhaps the chief trouble lies in the fact that the instructors are so deeply engrossed in their particular subjects that they fail to get the view point of the beginner. Whatever the cause may be, the fact remains that the students of this University are aware that the dry and uninteresting course is not always the most educative.
Students do not need or want their education handed out to them on a silver platter, all seasoned and delicately prepared. However, they will not耐它 it to be placed before them in a tasteless state, wholly lacking in
the liquor of human interest with which to wash it down.
Let us have a smile now and then along with all our academic seriousness.
THE REGISTRAR'S OFFICE
One of the most astounding things to students each year at the beginning of school is the dexterity and accuracy with which the registrar's office functions in a big state university such as Urs.
Such organization of details is seldom seen. They are doing tasks which the average business man would shake his head over and would be tempted to turn over to some one else, Not so with George O. Foster, our registrar. He works and systemizes the year around.
In the fall when school opens an transcript cards are filed in alphabetical order and placed in files of different schools where they belong. These cards are carefully looked over and if there is any doubt about any of them they must remember about it and place it in a reserve file. This is no small task when we consider that about 5,000 students' cards are handled each school year, many of them over and over again. For there are many students who decide to have their courses changed or have some alterations made.
The grades are filed on the transcript card of every student by those in the registrar's office. Errors cannot be made in a case like this because grades must be recorded accurately. We never ask any mistakes from the registrar's office.
There is always some student standing at the window of the office during the entire year, and every often there is a confusion outside the window, however, inside everything is precision and efficiency..

Outside Opinion
Reprinted from the Merchants Journal, Topeka, Kan.
Bar be it from us to throttle the humber spirit of youth. But we think it only fair that somebody in our State University of Kansas (and probably other schools) that some of their noble sons are likely to get seriously perforated with buckshot, or keep a gun, the way they are doing.
We refer to the modern college custom of capturing freight trains, raiding retail stores, looting lunch rooms, going about in mobs of two or three hundred, with bold thrills of lunch menacing anyone who dares to袭 upon them.
The report is that these university, youngsters, operating under the inspiration of mob-strength, have terrified the police of Lawrence, and terrified the people of the stores of that city and take by force what merchandise they want. They played the game in Topeka last week. Several hundred of them seized a freight train one night, and compelled the crew to haul them to Topeka, the restaurant on Kansas avenue, ate their fill, and then left the place in a body, defying the proprietor to collect from them. They marched out to Washburn college, were mixed up, in a near lynching, and, finally, in a jail of the college buildings and used it for a dormitory.
The action of this mob of students is considerably alk to that of the mob of southern Kansas miners who rob the miners. The miners think there are so many of them that no police officers or militia organization will dare to make them obey the law. They—seek by means to impose their will upon the community.
The university students are insured by very much the same spirit of lawlessness and ruffianism.
All of which may be very humorous. But some day this bunch of boys, most of whom are no doubt accent and law-abiding, as individuals, but who think it is smart to bump into someone, will be called crude policeman or some selfish merchant, or some brutal brakeman who can't see the loke. A killing is likely to be the outcome. If the University authorities are not in sympathy with this sort of behavior, they won't cost that they fire a few dozen of the vine leaders. That would doubtless and the infantile reign of terror.
Ft. Scott, Oct. 11—The Kenyan State Bank now her robbed of $800 when it was broken into last night, it was announced today. Officers and townpeople fired upon the escaping robbers.
Plain Tales from the Hill
Editorial suggests that students try into the affairs of politics. Students leave it to the politicians to do their own business. Consequently, no prying done.
This year above all other years, is promising to be one of the most promising years K. U. ever had. The only things missing in the political campaign are the famous campaign cinerus and the proverbial downed blsey.
We heard a good suggestion for an appropriate headline for this time of year so we'll pass it on:"Petty Politicians Piddle in Politics."
The grave diggers annual convention will be held in or near Lawrence soon after the election.
Home economics students at Oklahoma A. and M. College have decided to get some practical experience in their education. A baby has been borrowed from an orphan asylum to raise in their Homemaken family. The Ohio State University expresses the hope that the baby will live.
The general deduction is that you can tell a fresh as far as you can see him, but after you get up to him you can't tell him nothin'.
On Other Hills
In order that they may recognize the freshman Laws, and so be able to show them "fatherly tenderness and consideration," the senior laws of McGill University, Montreal, have ruled that their proteges wear about their necks a highly decorative red and white handkerchief.
Ohio State University has a drum, seven feet in diameter and fifty inches in width for its band to use at football games. The mammoth instrument is mounted on a special carriage with two wheels so that the top of the drum is nine feet from the ground.
The fraternities at Ohio State University are trying to co-operation in the purchase of foods. Stewards of fourteen fraternities agreed to buy one half carload of potatoes as the first test of the method.
Assistant cheerleaders are picked at the University of Michigan by tryouts.
Miss Louise Hamburger of Brooklyn who recently filed suit against Cornell University for $10,000 for injuries she alleges to have received while conducting an experiment in the department of chemistry there, has been awarded $25,000 by the court. The council for the University maintains that the verdict was given in sympathy for the injured girl and that negligence on the university has been proved. Motion for new trial has been made and if denied, appeal will be made to a higher court.

A new wireless station has been stalled at the University of New Mexico and the speeches and concert programs of the university will be sent broadcast over the state and all high schools, clubs or hospitals which will install the simple receiving apparatus will be able to enjoy the auditory experience. It will be able to communicate with the radio plants at the universities of Oklahoma, Texas, Kansas, Arizona and Colorado.
Boxing has been taken up as a min or sport at the University of Michigan.
