THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1921 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. —Prov. 21:23. "HOW MUCH WILL I GET OUT OF IT?" "What kind of a course is this?" an enrolling Freshman was heard to ask an upperclassman who was helping him through the mill Wednesday. "Oh, it is a fairly easy course," was the answer. "But how much will I get out of it?" the Freshman wanted to know. "How much will I get out of it?" How many of us as answer that question when we enroll? Don't it more often: "Will that fill a group?" or "Is that an easy course?" How much of the work that you take each semester is taken because you think that you can "get more out of" that course than some other? Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? There is more hope of a fool than of him—Prov. 29:20 He was a freshman, you say, and it won't last long. Here's hoping you are wrong. For it is from this class of student that the University profits, even as it is this class of student that profits from the University. "PASSING THE BUCK" We hear a great deal on all sides about passing the buck to the other fellow. This tendency seems to appear in so many lines of activity, and so often, that a generous supply of optimism is necessary to prevent the conclusions that "passing the buck" is becoming a positive human trait. One of the most peculiar and inexplicable avenues through which this rather selfish procedure finds expression is the startlingly prevalent practice of sending on the undesirable transient, by municipalities all over the country. An incident of this kind occurred the other day when Topeka gave to a gang of notorious pickpockets, the choice of paying back the amount of money reported stolen at the Kansas Free Fair and leaving town immediately or of remaining in jail until the end of the week. Many cities have formed the habit of giving to persons, questionable morally, or otherwise objectionable, the "opportunity of catching the first train out of town." In the last analysis, this method of procedure seems, not only selfish, but cowardly. For each municipality to solve its own problem of dealing with this class of people, either in the way of reformation or punishment, instead of passing them on to an unsuspecting neighbor with troubles enough of its own, would be a step worth considering in the present whirl of progressive spirit. If thou faint in the day of adver sity, thy strength is small—Prov 24:10. DREAM-POWER Now that it is almost safe to allude to dreams and visions without being at once accused of too close companionship with the wine that is red and stingeth like an adder, things dealing with the lighter fanies are picking up. It is no longer a searing brand upon a man's pride to refer to him as a man with imagination. No one can critically survey modern business life and not use that the man with imagination and the power of dreams is the one that succeeds. Everywhere in large cities or small town—the entrepreneur with new ideas hatched by an imaginative brain is the king pin of the lot. From the time that Si Potlocks in Dickie erected a shining "Hotel De Joss" sign above the entrance to his every barn, up to the era where modern industrial giants reserve a million dollars per year for advertising purposes, imagination has played a strong hand won. Nine times out of ten the dividing line between nudicity and superiority is an unharmed imagination sanely used. To many people, imagination is regarded as a child-like characteristic. They forged that all around them are men who have kept and shaped the imagination of their youthful days, and with it are now making the smoke pour from the funnel of the liner that crosses the sea of success in less than six days. College students, if anyone, should be taught to nurse their imaginations seriously. The University that does not slight that part of a student's education is the one that serves its constituency best. Plain Tales on the Hill "Cut the Harvest Squad," read a headline on the sport page of yesteryear's Kansas City Times. Reading on town, the column, however, we find that the story had nothing to do with his unemployment problem, and that he squandled that was cut operates in Eastern Massachusetts instead of Western Kansas, and is made up of football players instead of farm hands. Cap Garvin says that the story of its attempt to buy four memberships o the Associated Men of K. U. is an injustice. Cap insists that he never买了 more than three times in any student election since he's not in school. "Bet you can't do that," was the comment of a freshman who stodgazing at the *picture* of a Greek dancer in a downtown photography. Which is our idea of a complete lack of artistic sense. A rushes had been driven out Lawrence's only driveway, and saw the cemetery at the end for the first time. "It's all right," he conceded, "But there's no use of such a good fence around it." "Why not?" he was asked.

"What's the idea," a passing student asked him. "I'm just having a good time running in and out here, and thinking how long I had to wait to get through yesterday," was the reply. - Paul A.
