"Only three eclipses here"—Head line.
A STUDENT DIRECTORY
One of these is probably not the Eighteenth amendment which caused rather than stopped, a lot of moonshine.
There's a little household necessity, indispensible to every student and faculty member which is truly a "long felt want." But it hasn't come on the market yet, so no endowment of it are being issued by its manfacturer. In fact, no one knows for sure yet just who its manufacturer i or will be.
It's the student directory we refer to. The usual period of indecision as to whether there will be one or not is now in progress. The registrar and the student council are meditating or passing the buck or otherwise whiling away the time as students search for each other's rooming houses and telephone calls and their possibilities are held up.
Let's have a student directory. And let's have it soon. Why not a system whereby a committee on the student council, appointed the spring before, takes over the job as soon as the deans turn over their lists to the registrari? The assistance of the state printer need not be considered, although it is much to be desired. Yet waiting for it is always a cause of delay. Students do not regret paying twenty-five cents or even more for a directory, and issuing it would be an act of the greatest benevolence on the part of the council.
A directory, to be of the greatest efficiency, should come out two or three weeks after the opening of school. It should be complete and accurate as possible, but need not necessarily be a marvel of the printer's art. All the students and the profs want is a directory, and as early in the year as they can get it.
Now that a mandolin club has been organized, the members will be stringing in for practice. They might be given their choice of instruments, but each one would take his pick.
A CHANGE OF TUNE
There are some people who like to be independent. We all do, for that matter, but those referred to just now are those who like to be independent and have the intestinal equipment to be that way.
About the matter of whistling, for instance. (That's applying it to men folks—women can probably get the full benefit of this editorial by interpolating "humming.") Well, this whistling business is largely a matter of form and fashion anyway. Let the average student catch himself whistling such an antiquated air as "Beautiful Ohio," for instance, and
he will immediately correct himself and start off on "The Love Nest" or "Just Like the Rose" or something of the moment.
Just like tying one's napkin around one's neck, it isn't done. It's perfectly all right for dance rheashtras to play things as old as "Chinatown" or "Whydabe Want to Make Those Eyes at Me For Mep?" but once they let them be whistled in public and the whisper immediately becomes a social outcast. And he feels he deserves it, too. Even when one is alone and the catchy melody of a childhood song such as "Goodbye Broadway, Hello France" springs to one's lips, it doesn't do to go on whirling it. Even if the air of this week's song isn't so well-like, one must not admit it.
So it must be great to be independent and nervy enough to whittle the old songs right in public. But it's hard to imagine the student with moral courage enough to stride down the campus whistling "Lily of the a'vley" or "I Wanna Go Back to Michigan" or "Where Do We Go From Here?" Many of us like the old songs better, but we hate that feeling of out-o'datences when we hear them or whistle them. And our roommate might not stand for it.
So we go on being gloves to the last popular song.
SCHOOL DEMOCRACY
It is said that in some universities, when one man meets another, regardless of whether either are acquainted, there is always a salutary greeting. Such a statement, on the face of it, might not seem such a starting fact or such an important revolution and yet behind such a condition there is embodied one of the most ideal types of the right kind of college life—Democracy.
The friendiness of a "HOWDY JACK," unimportant as it may seem contains a mighty store of power. It is a declaration of open friendship and democracy and makes for the strongest kind of unity. It is not viable but contains a hidden force, which, when aroused by some cause calling for the defense of a common principle can over come the greatest difficulties. Such a democracy should be evidenced at K. U. for by its very nature would do much to improve the status of the student body. The formality of acquaintanceship act as a barrier to school unity. The enrollment of the University makes it impossible for every one to know the other fellow but it should be the desire of every man and woman of the school to set aside this stumbling block and come down to the level of common sense fellowship. Think of the power of such a relationship in organizing the student body into a compact democratic society with but one aim—the welfare of the school and the everlasting advancement of the State of Kansas.
It can be accomplished if every student will go forth with a pleasant smile on his face and a "Howdy Jack" for every one he meets. Get the habit now and the calendar year of the school will record a better and more perfect type of college life and relationship.
"SELF-ADVERTISING"
In a university of four thousand students there is a large number that become well known. Some of these, of course, have greatness thrust upon them, and possibly others have that illusive attribute, a winning personality, that impels favor their way. But most of these famous ones are self-advertised into their popularity. Our campus celebrities no longer thrust their thumbs into the armchairs of their corduroy vests and brag, "I am self-made." Instead they throw their armlobes of posters or handbills and ejaculate, "I am self-advertised." But if you were not one of the lucky ones, who, for a nominal campaign assessment, got their names emblazoned on posters and billboards last week, do not despair. There are other ways to self-advertise.
Practical men say that the first item in this matter of advertising is to attract attention by sheer force of presentation. So if you are exceptionally noticeable, whether in length or breadth, you have the advantage. If not, your clothes must make up
the deficit. Bear in mind that everyone can see shoes and collars and hats and rings, but only a few folks can see souls and thoughts and spiritual rags. Look carefully to the number of your jeweled pins, the length of your trouvers or the French of your hair and you will be fairly started on your campaign of self-advertising. Wear a constant expression of worry and create a so-many-important-things are-depending-on-me, atmosphere, and you will soon be asked to hold an office or to do some notoriety giving work. After the first trump it is easy and, before long, lo, you are famous.
"A HELLO DAY"
To further the spirit of democracy in our school it would be to our ad vintage to institute a "hello day" or better still to make every day "hello day." At the University of Washington there is a lane through which practically every one must pass some time during the day. As they pass along every student and professor say "hello" whether they are personally acquainted or not. They have named this thoroughfare "Hello Lane" and by this name it has been known for many years. At the University of Ohio they have inaugurated a "hello day." If we can not have a "Hello Lane" let's have a "hello day" or better still let every day be "hello day." Let's be democratic if we can't be anything else. Nothing can convince the people of our state more than this that K. U. is not a rich man's school.
Campus Opinions
To the Editor of The Kansan:
Why is freshman discipline not just as important as the academic side of his life? It used to be considered so. Experience has taught us that there really is *something good to be instilled in the heart of a man who is going proper training.* To this end, to it appears that about the only thing left to K. U.'s method of disciplining her freshman is the tradition.
In the old days freshmen were allowed to smoke only on certain days, they were forced to give the sidewalk to an upperclassman, sunscreen to them in Porter's Lake was not an art of insurance and many other humiliations.
Any one who went thru this will tell you that he is glad of it and that he got some good out of it.
Now, the freshmen are on the same status with the upperclassman, with the exception of the freshman who is taking vocation, in the rear of the gymnasium which were fifteen or twenty freshmen comfortably seated, while directly behind them were a number of standing and apparently satisfied.
Let's get together once more and
ee that the freshmen get all that is
owing to them and neglect an im-
part of their education no anger.
On Other Hills
The Commons Cafeteria, outfitted at the Washington University at the cost of over $20,000, has made a decided hit with the men students of university. No differentiation in service is made between faculty and students.
TALL TEXAN SETS SOCK RECORD
The individual silk sock record of the North American continent is now being claimed by a freshman who halls from the longhorn state of Texas. He bases his claim on the fact that he is the possessor of 78 feet of the silky luxuries.
Dr. Ernest H. Lindley, chancellor of the University of Kansas, in an address before the three thousand student body, said: "I promise you that if, for every day for thirty days you master your work, you need not worry about your future in the University." In other words, he who does his homework each day shall accomplish compiling. Ever-at-ive-ness is the stuff of which winners are made—Howard Crimson.
This method of measuring socks is declared by the fresh in question to be mathematical, even if it is not mathematically correct. Wear a dresscode and figuring two feet to the pair the total amounts up impressingly. Logical as this may sound, campus statisticians declare the method is really an underestimation for they claim that 80% of campus cine袜 stock varies from 14% to 17.2 inches.

PROFESSOR W. J. JEWELL
PROFESSOR W. J. JEWELL
Prof. W. J. Jewell comes to the University of Kansas with two degrees after his name. He first obtained a B.S. degree in engineering from Michigan Agricultural College, and that same year spent summer school at Harvard where he got his M. S. in engineering. During the fall semester he specialized in sanitary engineering and through association with Prof. W. C. Head, a former K. U. man, after graduation he realized that this was to he his heat work. Even after he had accepted a position as assistant in chemical engineering of a water filtration plant at Toledo, Ohio, Professor Head persisted Mr. Jones that Kansas was the logical place for him and he came to the University in
Mr. Jewell was here ten months and left to take a position with a higher salary in the University of Michigan, but only stayed two years at the university in the army and was sanitary engineer at Selfridge Aviation Fleib, Mich. He was ten months with the 26th Engineers, whose duty it was to keep up water supply of the army and to keep the front lines supplied with water during the fighting "over which he returned to Michigan in May, 1918.
According to Mr. Jewell, he was very glad when he received his second opportunity of coming to Kansas and he finds his fellow faculty members the most considerate and kind-hearted people in the world. Although Proctor taught at KU, he came here—that of teaching Sanitary Engineering, director of water and sewage system and engineer for the State Board of Health; he still has time to talk loyalty to anyone desiring a few good pointers on the suburban school grid to McPenal, Friday, October 12, after laying a paper which he has prepared on, "Water Softening Plants." He is doing his part in putting K.U. first.
RAYMOND H. CARPENTER
Raymond H. Carpenter, Instructor in Mathematics University of Kansas, received his Bachelor of Arts degree from Washburn College, Topeka, Kansas. In the fall of 1916 he came to this University as a student in the business department of the department of history and political science. Before the end of the school, Mr. Carpenter withdrew from school to enter the army and although his work was not completed, he received his master's degree. After alighting during which time he rose from a private to a second lieutenant in the field artillery, he was discharged at the end of the war at Camp Lewis. After remaining some time in Seattle, Mr. Carpenter decided to return to Kansas. For a time he taught mathematics at the university returning here to begin work this fall.
"I received my first impression of the University of Kansas as a student," said Mr. Carpenter, "and now I am back to school to receive a second impression from a different stanpid点, that of a member of the faculty. One of the first changes I am noticing is that of the greater breadth of outlook of the University. I am glad to be an associate professor and the students from all parts of the world. The University of Kansas is an invigorating institution.
"There seems to be in the University this year an honest desire for team work. The citizen of Lawrence, the teacher of our class and the students of the University seem to be striving after a greater unity of purpose. This unity should push the University of Kansas farther into the real life of the state that it has ever been before and open an unprecedented growth to the University."
"As for myself," said Mr. Carpenter, "I have received the very kindest treatment both at the hands of the members of the faculty and the students, in the way of help and good fellowship. The students in my classes practically all freshmen, have on the whole manifested an earnest desire to do the work expected of them in the best way possible. Looking forward I think the hope for the best year the University ever had is not much different than reenter the atmosphere of the University and hear again the Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk from the Thundering Thousands.
Fraternities at the University of Nebraska have been delayed in pledging local high school grada due to a delay in the letter organizations following the inter-fraternity council's ruling to enforce the state law prohibiting high school fruts. Numerous such bodies have chartered clubs and membership lists.
