NOVEMBER
TUESDAY, NOV. 2, 1920
November, with its keen, frosty mornings, and fresh, invigorating air, has come again. Not only back in Indiana, but right here in Kansas, one can "rise up early in the morning," take a brisk walk out into the country, and see with one's eyes the "frost on the punkin and the folder in the shock."
What picture is greater than the harvest picture, and particularly, of the harvest of America's wonderful crop of golden corn? In the summer we have the wheat gleaning, but always its picturesqueness is damped by the oppressive heat and hard work which men have to endure in taking advantage of it. In the fall, however, with its harvest of golden corn, the very atmosphere oxides energy and vigor, and there is a nest and spirit in the harvester's efforts which transform his work from a mere drudgery to a profitable recreation. Not only to the farmer is the "frosty fall" a period of harvest. Tired housewives, business men, and students find a golden harvest of healthful, invigorating weather during the fall months. It is a period marked by greater efforts and renewed zeal, in which the lethargic spell of a hot summer is in cast aside, and once more we dig into our tasks with a real ambition.
FROM ANOTHER ANGLE
unally considered entirely from the viewpoint of the student, with all too little charity to the "hash-house" proprietor. Viewing the mater from the angle of the proprietor is illuminating as well as interesting.
The boarding clubs are a highly important feature of University social life. It is here that hundreds of non-fraternity students form their friendships and find a large part of their social relaxation. But this very fact, so important to the average boarding club member, means practically the extermination of the home life of the family who runs the club. Their house is thrown open to suds nits, not only at meal times but at nearly all hours, and the little intimacy of home life are largely rendered impossible. This fact is recognized by the state and all boarding club propriets must have a hotel keeper's license.
Aside from the social side of the boarding club situation, there is the financial. Proprietors assert that they cannot reduce their rates as yell cause the fall in prices has been nither extensive or definite enough, and because labor costs still remain the same. They testify to a real sympathy with students, and a desire to reduce the price of board as soon as conditions justify a drop.
The boarding club proprietor is a busy person, but his or her view of
clauding clubs is seldom given a hearing, largely because it is outnumbered by the opinions of students, which are often of a scarcely complimentary nature. But the propietors should be given credit for working hard for whatever they make, and should be recognized as making possible a large part of the University's social life.
BY HARRY KEMP
The Kanan is printing today the first of a series of poems by Harry Kemp, to be run on the editorial page for some time. The poems are selected from Mr. Kemp's two latest volumes, "Chantyes and Hallas," and "The Passing God." They are reprinted by permission of the publishers, Brentano's, of New York.
Mr. Kemp's poetry should be of particular interest to University students, aside from the matter of its merit, because Mr. Kemp was formerly a student here. His life has been an adventurous one. He ran away to sea at the age of 16, was in China during the Boxer Rebellion, took a turn at high school, spent three months in a Texas jail for burglary, worked with Ebert Hubbard at East Aurora, N. Y., attended prep school in Massachusetts, came to K. U. for a period, then returned Earl, where he has been ever since.
Because of Mr. Kemp's wandering preclivities, he has earned the title of "Tramp Poet." Richard Le Galiene says one might expect to find his verse "with far more tramp in it than poetry." "But curiously enough," he continues, "here is poetry, highly wrought and polished ... in the direct tradition of the noblest classic English song. You will seek in vain for the tramp; but there is not a page on which you will not find the poet."
THE DUTY OF KANSAS
Kansas has allowed eleven other states to supervise her in providing means of educational aid for the ex-service man.
The ex-service man may not merit state aid in gaining an education any more than do thousands of other younger men, except for this fact: the soldier or sailor sacrificed from one to three years of his education to serve his country. He has reached an age where he cannot stop his education to earn funds to help him through school. He must either go to school now or quit entirely. For this reason he is worthy of state aid in preparing to make the best citizen that he can out of himself.
These eleven states give their ex-soldiers and sailors educational advantages, which range from remitting all tuition fees to the granting of a scholarship of more than $300 a year: Iowa, Colorado, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington, Wisconsin.
This legislation involves the aiding if more than one million returned service men and the expenditure of several millions of dollars. Some of the states mentioned issued bonds to meet this expense; others provided a special tax and a surtax o income; still other provided for the purchase if government securities.
But Kansas, despite her reputation for progressiveness among states that foster education, has done nothing. She has it, is true, legitimated on but never passed a bonus for the ex-service man, and contemplates a Farm Homes Amendment to the Constitution in which the ex-service man will have the preference; but, in reference to state aid in educating the ex-service man, she has taken no action whatever. The question has never taken the form of a bill in either house of the state legislature.
OLD H. C. L.
The soldiers of Kansas are no less deserving than those of other states, but, for the time being at least, they are not receiving the educational advantages which other progressive states are granting their returned soldiers and sailors who desire an education.
That she must roll them down at the top.
A co-de decides she will stop
at a clothes in order to shop.
But some things she would buy
she must roll them. And
that she must roll them.

A WHALER'S CONFESSION

years a-whaling.
Kicking through the ice faces

Lost in water spraying at

Going months without a sight of another sail.

You, that have been my sister, From Peru to Vindiviolet, from Peru to Vindiviolet, from Which shows how months of sailing Can get upon the bally movies of any bally man. I'm just point home, points home again to Irish!, I'm glad for Katie who's waiting I'll sign for her a long cruise, a longer And the sad realization a man Like and admire the boat-like Yes, I will still go sailing; yes, I will go whaling; no, I won't think along of love and hate. For anyone thinking along of love and hate, a cruise that beats a lifetime-, a hundred crews than take to hating Kate! Three long years of whaling- yes, Kicking through the ice, floes, caught in calm or gale, grasping at the precisely heat, Growing about a sight of another sail!
Campus Opinions
Editor University Daily Kansan: "Student," who writes to the Kansas deyering the horrible action of some five hundred students who were zealous enough in their support of the football team to burn their jerseys. He is pityfully narrow view of the whole proceeding. Maintaining that bumming is a form of thieving—ataling transportation="Student" questions the school spirit of the "gentlemen of the road." He even goes so far as to compare them with the I. W. W., nake members should be arrested for "bumming" while University students vexempt.
moral standard—whether he ever stale an apple from an orchard? Did he ever go swimming in a forbidden pond—bealing water? Did he ever死 beal the dead and save half a mile or so of walking by trespassing on another's field?
We have no hesitancy in opining that the "Student" has done all these things, and done them many times. Does he regard himself as a felon and a criminal in the eyes of man and the law therefore? Student over ride in a motor car? And did he, by any chance, speed the limit? Did he drive through a town with his cutout open? Did he ever drive on the wrong side of the street in a city? Did he ever violate any traffic laws? Once more we do hesitate to say that all these things. And will he therefore give up the police for the Union Pacific Railway and then have been commissioned, and we beg to doubt it unless evidence to the contrary is produced.
Then, if these things be true, and it is surely safe to assume that, still supposing "Student" to be human they are, why does he consider it necessary to take up the literary form of the Union Pacific Railway? "Student" neglects the fundamental consideration that, after all it is intent that counts in the eyes of the law. The insignificant law violations that we all indulge in from day to day are violations of the letter but not of the spirit of the law; and they are so regarded in judicial circles that students "bum" their group of students "bum" their way to a football game as a sort of a lark Technically, they are law violators in spirit, they are loyal supporters of their school; and that spirit will make citizens of far more value to the community than those who tread carefully always for fear of doing something which some one might consider wrong.
CHARLES NICOLET
At a recent all-University conventation Professor Preyer gave two piano solos. These were appreciated by the students as was shown by their liberal applause. Students love good music and appreciate it. They are only too glad to hear some of the professors of the School of Fine Arts, whether they play the violin, piano or give vocal solos. The university is not counteracted by the program committee and the students seldom get to hear any of the musical talent of the faculty. Some of them go to Kansas City and sing in the church choirs there. We don't begrudge them that privilege.
in fact we are glad that they can go but we would like to hear them sing and play at college gatherings, and I want to acknowledge the students' appreciation of good music.
