THE SELF MADE MAN
"The self-made man is a thing of the dim and distant past," say the youth of today. "It can't be done these days," they say, "the times won't allow it." And yet it is done.
Representative Martin B. Madden of Illinois who is now paymaster-in-chief of more than six-hundred-thousand and employees registered on the payrolls of the United States started at the age of ten as a water boy in a stone quarry.
By that "never-say-quit" spirit he worked himself up until he became the president of the largest contracting firm in the United States. At twenty he refused a position with a ten thousand dollar salary attached so that he might work for himself.
This is one example showing that the self-made man man really exists today, and is a normal creature breathing the same fresh air from the
Incidentally he entered politics, and is now chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, and with General Dawes will approve all the appropriations for federal government expenditures.
same atmosphere as we do. Perhaps it is not so much the trend of the times that is impinging the youth of today, as he has expressed it, but the attitude of the youth himself.
THE ANNUAL CONTENTION
Last summer the state tax payers indirectly hired men to work on the campus, to keep it beautiful, and to make it a place to be proud of. They have built sidewalks, soded the ground where the grass was worn off, trimmed trees, and shrubbery, and constructed roads. Not only can their accomplishments be summed up in one summer's work but their untrying efforts have been going on for many years and the people of the state have been paying taxes for many years.
But it seems that the efforts put forth by these laborers and the money from the tax payers have been partly in vain. Students, faculty and employees of the University, either in haste to reach their destination, or without forethought, persist in cutting corners, trumping down shrubbery, in fact, wandering around on the campus promiscuously. Everywhere on the campus they can be traced. They leave their marks, others follow, soon the grass dies and dries up, then a path is made.
The student probably thinks that it will do no harm to cut across just once. His conscience hurts a little the first time. He sees a sidewalk which is a little out of the way. He chooses the short cut and thousands follow. Now a bare ugly path marks the place where grew shrubbery or grass and the student remembers how beautiful that place was three weeks ago.
We would not debate with our confidence if the lawn back home was in question. We would take the side walk. If some stranger took the privilege of walking across our own lawn we would probably tell him that it was not being done in that section of the country. But at school its a different proposition; no one takes the responsibility of telling each and every student to keep off the grass and the signs "Keep Off the Grass" seem to be a joke. Consequently the campus is cut in every direction with ugly barren paths where thoughtless students who have no appreciation for beauty, or at least their appreciation for beauty is less manifest than a selfish desire to save their own energy—tread with hardened soles.
THE GREAT ADVANTAGE
The American Legion is now launching a campaign to secure work for the unemployed ex-service men. We find it hard to believe that so many men who fought for us are out of work, at present. Many of them are eager for employment.
This, however, is another testimonial to urge the young Americans to train themselves efficiently while they have the chance. Investigations of the Ex-Service Mens' Employment Bureau of New York have shown that of one hundred unemployed ex-soldiers, seventy-five per cent were unskilled, and of these eighty per cent were illiterate. They have found no trouble in placing skilled ex-service men in New York.
It seems that the business world of today has no place for the unskilled man, regardless of his other qualifications. The man who expects to climb to success today must be able to do the work he is set to do better than anyone else, and in less time than anyone else. That is the only way he can pass his competitor.
The college graduate should be at the top of the country's ladder of in
the top of the country's ladder of intelligence. He should be in that upper small per cent. The advantages are his to take or leave as he chooses. The mere fact that he has in his possession a piece of sheepskin that privileged him to wear a cap and gown will get no farther than a start in the world of affairs. He must be able to deliver the goods, and do it well.
He who brags about his ability to "get by" with as little inconvenience and discomfort as possible to himself
will not be able to "get by" in the world of Genuine Science, the most sparsely populated planet in our modern universe.
Plain Tales from the Hill
When Cap Garvin is Dean of Women, when the Sour Owl is a christian science magazine, when the R. O. T. C. has whipped the "Reds," then and then only will the Engineer-Law scrap tradition cease.
The serious mindedness of the students and the faculty of this university is still a menace to the welfare of this column.
Senior laws enter Varsity theatre twiddling caws. Inefficient twiddler twirves over cane and sprawls length of aisle. Cruel people laugh. Picture show man ashamed to show comedy after that.
The pass word to cross the bridge to north Lawrence is, "Haig and Haig, Black and White," and here's where most of 'em fall; they say, "Home james," instead of "home brew."
They say Chub Fraker isn't fast but he sure covers the ground.
A poor fresh was heard to ask of a grocery clerk if they kept library dates.
Charles M. Schwab tells us to laugh at present-day troubles, so let's take our cue from Charlie Schwab. And join the chuckling, laughing mob—Ha! Ha! Braad's up another cent; Ho! He! The land has rased the rent; Ha! Ha! Haw! Haw! Hee Hee!
And higher taxes----ain't that nice?

Columbia University has a registrar estimated at more than 17,000 this year. This does not include the Summer Session students who numbered 15,000. The total this year would be that of last year by over 1,000.
Grinnell College had their annual Freshman-Sophomore scrap this fall when 150 freshmen attempted to tie up seventy sophomores. One sophomore attempted to outwit the freshmen by disguising himself in girl's clothes but was discovered. However, two of the upper classmen were still united at the end of the time limit, giving the decision to them.
The University of Wisconsin has taken a step forward in modern methods of education. A library consisting of sixty reels of motion picture negatives, mostly English Classics has been expected to add new subjects from time to time as funds are available.
The University of Iowa has an official "hello" day on October 7, when every student wears a tag of distinctive color indicating the class and school of the weaver with space in which to write his name. The students are also encouraged to speak to everyone else on the campus and greet him with "hello."

TO YOU men who have not seen our striking display of smart styles, we say this about Emery Shirts:
They are made of reliable, high-grade fabrics. The colors and patterns are the last word in correct shirt fashion.
You men who pay attention to nice details will find added satisfaction in the accurate balancing of the patterns on cuffs, fronts and shoulders.
Generous cutting and sound workmanship have produced comfortable, custom-like fit. Emery Shirts never bind across chest or shoulders, under arms.
The sturdy fabrics and the skillful, honest tailoring of Emery Shirts have given them the qualities that insure long wear—despite many trips to the laundry—and good appearance throughout every day of service.
Men who have examined our big selection of new styles say, as men everywhere say: "Emery Shirts are equal to custom-made in every way."
To the rest of you well-dressed men, we make this suggestion:
Inspect these fine shirts at close range. Take them in your hands. You'll be enthusiastic as we are about them.
