FRIDAY, OCTOBR 22,1920
KNOW THE PLATFORMS
We are going to vote on票场 ticket November second. Perhaps we will vote the Republican ticket because our father and grandfather did, or the Democratic because we heard Cox speak. If so, we will be failures as American citizens. We should vote because we believe in a party's platform and are convinced that the postmates, if elected, can carry it out.
Republican: "... stands for agreement among nations to preserve peace without compromising national independence ... the Covenant made by the President at Paris failed signally to accomplish this purpose."
The big controversy this election is over the League of Nations Covenant. To vote intelligently it is necessary to know the platforms of the various parties. Of the four parties, three are against, and one is for, the League of Nations. The Republican, Socialist, and Farmer-Looner parties are against the covenant. Here are some extracts from their platforms.
Socialist: "The Government of the United States should initiate a movement to dissolve the mischievous organization called the "League of Nations."
Farmer-Laborer; "Abolish imperialism at home and abroad. We stand committed to a league of free peoples, to the end that there shall be no more kings and no more wars."
The Democratic party is for the League of Nations. Some of the statements from their platform are: "...favors League of Nations as the surest, if not the only, means of maintaining permanent peace. We advocate the immediate ratification of the treaty without reservations."
VIVE LA DICTIONAIRE
The dictionary, the friend of the student, is being anubbed and shoved to the background. Whether large or small it always ungrudgingly and faithfully answers all questions. It belongs to a large family with many stages of completion from the pocket edition to the library encyclopedias. It is always right but ever slowly changing. It rules men, their customers, expressions of feeling, thought, actions, and is ruled by them.
Once upon a time people considered themselves fortunate and indeed on the right road to progress and education if they possessed a dictionary. They studied their dictionary and pondered upon it even as they did their Bible. We were looked up if the least doubt existed as to their meaning, origin, or spelling. Not many years ago in some parts of our country the teacher chose words from the dictionary for spelling contests. Fathers and mothers of today remember spelling from dictionaries.
In the rush and hurry up methods of today the dictionary in a large part has lost it supremacy. It is no longer the constant companion of the
student. It is resorted to only in extreme cases, after all within hearing have been questioned. How often have the expressions "I haven't time to look it up" or "I think that's what it means" been heard? Too indifferent, too lazy, and in too big a hurry to know whether it is spelled right or wrong, has one reason or another. But even though it is ignored, the dictionary is still with us as it will always be. A little time spent each day making its acquaintance would be benefit to all. Studies would improve, be easier, themes would be returned with fewer red ink marks, speech would be smoother and more definite, writing would be clearer and more excellent.
A few minutes each day well spent will save hours of hesitation and indulgence. Viva la dictionary!
ON PUMPKIN PIE
Just about this time of year, the average freshman is sitting with his elbows on his knees and his chin in the palms of his hands stimulating his salivary glands by sweet dreams of the culinary activities in the kitchen at home. Mother wrote the other day that Father had brought in a big pumpkin from the corn field, and that pumpkin pie would be on the menu for the next few days.
Pumpkin pie! How the name is insulted by the serving of that abominable something on a layer of leather crust by the college hash house, which some people, with disrespect and sarcoligion, have the audacity to designate as pumpkin pie. How differs from the real pie that Mother bakes! The freshman realizes that Mother is the only person in the world who knows how to bake pumpkin pie as it should be baked. Those brown, steaming, fragrant specimens of culinary perfection that mother lifts from the oven, protecting her hands from the heat of the pan by her apron. She sets them away to cool, and after a while, a small, very small, crack forms between the crust and the body of the pie—the freshman remembers exactly how they look. Then at dinner, a whole quarter of a pie, more than an inch deep, with brown, delicious pumpkin and a brittle, flavor crust—the freshman's mouth is watering! That evening at dinner his sweet dream is disshattered as he thrusts his fork into an indefinite something that a few hours before was the content of a tin can bearing the label of a wholesale grocery store.
As long as American boys and girls are brought up on Mother's pumpkin pie, there will never be any bovisheria and anarchy prevalent in the United States of America.
SONG MEMORIES
What mystic quality is there in the songs a group of college men sing on a "blithe and balmy evening" that makes the listener stop with sudden interest and listen intently best miss any part of them? Is it a feeling of loniness, a touch of sadness, or is it the joyful appeal of love and romance which they stimulate, that auses this singular attraction?
Nothing is so powerful in its appeal as the human voices bursting spontaneously into a song which exactly suits the spirit of the singer. Male voices in particular have more than the ordinary fascination in that respect. Perhaps that is because men as a rule sing only when they want to sing, and from the depths of their hearts.
After the graduate has left his Alma Mater, with her old familiar halls and hilly campus, nothing more remains more clearly in his memory than such songs as "Honey," "Rose of Tennessee," and "Old Virginny," which he heard in that midnight serenade on a warm night in spring, or on a bainbow evening in October. They are pages in his memory book that will never fade or grow dim, but always will attract his imagination with their romance, their warbark, and their depth of feeling, corner of Tenth and Walnut stretts, in Kansas City, recently, prostrate and unable to talk, with only twenty twents in his pocket, has our sympathy. The mental strain, which accompanies the endeavor to invest two dimes, these days, is enough to get anyone down.
Campus Opinions
Editor Daily Kansan:
Where are the corndurrows? At a meeting of the Associated Journalists about two weeks ago, it was agreed that corduroy trousers should be worn by the men and corndurry skirts by the women journalists.
Thus far only a few such trousers have been in evidence on the Hill, while the skirts of that material were not known to the women of the ance. The women of the department are perhaps loath to adopt a mode of dress not decreed by the law; thus the women of the journalists and put the "cords" on the same status as the Law's cane.

OLDEST PRESS IN WORLD
The Oxford University Press is the most ancient press in the world. Its first book is dated 1461, the first in history is working in 1468, but ever since 1585—that is for 335 years—the press as it is known today has been in continuous activity.
Ever since 1676 the Oxford press has issued yearly an almanac, and he who possesses a complete set is a man to be enviid man—World's Work.
The new student directory will be out the first of next week, it was announced at the meeting of the student Council last night. The price has not been decided upon, but will depend on the cost of printing.
