THE UNIVERSITY COMMONS
Located in the center of the campus, overlooking the beautiful valley to the south the new University Commons bids fair to become the most effective observatory of nature on the campus.
Just row the trees are beginning to take on the cheerful reds and bright yellows of autumn, while the distant fields show checks of brown sprinkled through their green expanse. To the southeast Haskell and Blue Mount stand silhouetted against the clear blue sky.
MR. VOLIVA'S OFFER
All these things you can enjoy, while you break bread with friends at the new University Commons; providing of course you are fortunate enough to get one of the window tables. To enjoy a beautiful view, to dine with friends, to associate with fellow Jayhawkers from student body and faculty; what could be more inspirational. Through what better channels could a great and growing University spirit be fostered?
Mr. Voliva of Zion, Illinois, has offered a reward of $1000 to any college professor or layman who can prove that the world is a sphere or that it moves.
This is a chance for some bright student of the University of Kansas to push forward Mr. Voliva's thinking several centuries and incidentally win enough money to buy a Ford coupe. We offer advice in the methods of gaining this reward as freely as Mr. Voliva offers the reward itself,
First, look up the old geography which you studied in the grades wherein is shown a series of pictures of a ship. In the first picture the tip of the mast alone shows and the remaining pictures show the lower part of the masts and the decks as the ship comes nearer. This is exhibit A and is indispensable. Then procure a small globe. Before entering Zion City leave all evidence of worldiness behind.
On gaining an interview with Mr. Voliva display your scientific apparatus and recite the arguments which you have prepared carefully beforehand.
If Mr. Voliva still believes that the world is shaped like a pancake after all your efforts, then lure him to the shore of Lake Michigan and point out to him a distant vessel and endeavor to make the truth evident by moving illustration. But if the successor to Alexander Dowie still remains obdurate step behind him and push him into the cold waters of Lake Michigan
SOCIAL EMPHASIS ON EDUCATION
According to Prof. Bernard Fay, who taught in the Iowa State University summer session, he finds that the basis of education in the United States is "extensively social."
He says that young people today think first of social advantages before they think of the advantages of learning in the line of work they intend to pursue.
"Of all the schools in America," he says, "I learned that Harvard is more like our school Sorbonne, in Paris, in its organization, instruction, rigid requirements of perfection, and the assurance of success proportional to the intellectual attainment as measured by the tests and examinations given the students while in school."
He further declares that there is a laxity "of intellectual training" resulting from too much emphasis on the social training.
Nevertheless America is turning out scientists, inventors and learned men in all lines that are competing successfully with those from the French colleges. It is not right to judge the schools by those who come for social advantages only. Education is merely to make young people think and to organize their thoughts.
Editor, University Daily Kansan;— A few days ago an editorial appeared in your paper asking if the K. U. students were democratic. In my calamination that is a needless question since it is generally conceded that a high brow will be a high brow whether here or in Podunk.
Any young man or woman who i serious in his work will make the best of it and will profit by his opportunities both intellectually and socially. Broadness of vision is brought about only through contact with all sides of University life and it is apparent that broader visions make bigger men.
I have had a number of freshmen say to me when asked if they liked K. U. "Yes sure, it's a wonderful place. I thought when I come up here that I'd be home sick and have a terrible time but I feel like I'd been here all my life." This is not calmed catheism either.
Campus Opinion
A number have said that they were skeptical about K. U. when considering what university they should attend. From somewhere they had not the illusion that K. U. was a high brow school and that it took ages and ages to get acquainted, even with the most common people. But after having been here a while, they have noticed that millions entirely. They have found that the majority of the students are just common people, here for an education and realizing that meeting people is an education in itself.
A majority of the students here are from small, towns ranging from two to twenty thousand population and they realize that they can not become personally acquainted with other students, have lived in a small town all their lives and still they don't know alh the people there. It's the same way here. They are bound to make as many friends here in four years, in proportion, as they have made all their students, or as many as student, if he's a bird brow at home he will be a high brow here and his friends will number accordingly.
Plain Tales from the Hill
One thousand students became table waiters when the University Commons opened today. They did not deal enm of their arm but they exhibited $n$ startling knowledge of the juggling profession.
A statement in a high school paper bears out that "Mental Hygiene" editorial. It says, "Don't croak frogs do that. Be a man." From the length of some of the faces on the Hill we would say that the owners were afflicted with every malady from chicken pox to lumbago, including several broken ribs and chronic corns.
McCanies, the band leader, says that there are no insects on his band. We wonder if he could have been referring to cooties.
Mr. Manchester isn't the Spooner Library, isn't large enough. We woncelder why there are always so lying on the outside in the evenings.
"The Cornell Daily Sun" holds a seven-week contest for sophomores, the winner being eligible for election to the Sun board at the end of the contest and for the position of editor-in-chief and managing editor in his senior year. The rating system is based on quality of news and editorial writing, general ability and initiative.
Under the heading, "too late to classify," paper ays, "Wanted—man student to work for room. 900 ill."
