THURSDAY. OCTOBER 15, 1914. INVESTIGATION NEEDED Sensational charges against leaders of a College Y. M. C. A. in a state educational institution were credited to President F. E. Mossman, of Southwestern College, Winfield, at a state-wide Methodist convention held at Abilene. We quote, verbatim from the Abilene Daily Reflector of June 30: President Mossman of Southwestern emphasized the moral tone of the Methodist colleges of Kansas. "The personality of the men who are in charge of the classroom work is more important than the subject matter," he said. "The state schools need the Christian colleges." The speaker verged on sensationalism when he asserted that religious schools could certainly change hands if $1600 could change hands in one night in a poker game between leaders of a college Y. M. C. A. in a state school. He livened his address with a winning manner of talking and pointed incidents. To one at all familiar with Y. M. C. A. activities in the state schools, the absurdity of the charge is at once apparent. The absurdity is not so apparent to one unfamiliar with religious work carried on in the state schools, however, and statements of that nature work injury to the cause of education throughout the state. If Doctor Mossman can substantiate his charges they should come to the attention of the State Board of Educational Administration for investigation. If the charges are not true, and cannot be proved, Doctor Mossman owes the state schools an apology. Last year when charges against the University were made by the president of a denominational school in Oklahoma, students of the same church in Lawrence at once took the matter up. The Daily Kansan respectfully calls the attention of the Methodist students at the University—and they outnumber those of any other church—to the statement made by Doctor Mossman. A GOOD DECISION George W. Staton, permanent secretary of the 1913 memorial committee, deserves credit for his decision to pay the old annual debt of the class before he takes steps to erect a memorial. Two members of the class, R. G. Allison, and Asher Hobson, editor and business manager of the 1913 annual, are now paying off a debt that rightfully belongs to the whole class. It will be more to the credit of '13 to wipe out this debt than to erect a memorial. That can come later. The Student Council is following out the policy it adopted at the beginning of the year to enforce rigidity the no-smoking rule. In this Council has the support of students and faculty alike. Credit is due the Council. It is not easy for a Councilman to discipline a fellow-student. All Gaul is divided into three parts and the professor who assigns a quiz on the Monday following a football game owns two-thirds of the supply. Missed by the Oread Board of Censorship "Money flowing back to normal children," she added. "But we can't detect a ripple." Just as the odor of mothballs was vanishing from our last year's mackinaw, the managing editor, who hasn't one, pokes a sly thrust at that garment by rouming one of Maloy's 2013 model, anti-mackinaw cartoons.

COMBINATION SET COMBINATION SET For rent: To instructor or graduate a comfortable room with small family.-Daily Illini. Someone remarked last week that the aviator who flew over Lawrence could make a pile of money if he would carry passengers at ten dollars per. Thanks, but having the ten spot is thrill enough for us. One good thing those Zeppelins are doing for civilization is giving the French and English nightly lessons in astronomy. This "colm" is in receipt of a report from the Ad. Building, which, although showing evidence of censorship, reveals news of a battle which took place in one of the classes there. One of the students, in a heated word-battle, hurled a postulate at the instructor. The enemy dove downhip apart with a well-directed hypothetical imperative. BANG! Several of our pet theories have been exploded without personal injuries. From this it would seem that we are more fortunate than the student who, according to a news story last night, "was slightly burned about the forehead when an experiment containing nitric acid exploded." Essays Picked Young THE MOON THE REAL NEWS To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable; and wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen to stars and birds, bats and sages, with open heart; to bear all cheerfully, do all bravely, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, to let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to me my symphony.—William Henry Channing. The moon is Cupid's lantern which he lights with love matches. It comes in full, half, and quarter sizes and can be made to fit any occasion. Its chief use is to furnish inspiration for poets, woctors, and song writers. Without the moon, the composers of musical comedies, operas, and ballet skirt. A few small rays from the big yellow ball will make a wart look like a Pearl, and a woman with copper wire hair and eyes like the old cross roads looks as good as a blue ribbon entry in a beauty contest. In the moonlight, a man with dyspepsia and a rubber collar has just as much chance in love making as a hero with a long story shoulders and a pimpardation that stands alone. When the moon shines, a nickel looks like a dollar, a push cart like an automobile, and Any girl like The Only One. My Symphony The recent night-shirt parade at K. U., according to the Kansan, demonstrated, among other things, that "lawlessness, unrest, dissatisfaction and loosely administered rules were no longer the verosity." This is all very interesting, but it, also, makes it very plain that Merle Thorpe is falling down some in his efforts to manufacture high-grade newspaper men. The real news feature of the parade has been over, not potato, but ice cream, the Kansan as to the latest "ra-hal" styles in pajama ruffles—Chanute Tribune. As in all true satire, there is a serious vein running beneath the fun but this need not interfere at a with the reader's enjoyment. If you are interested in what Mr. Shaw is satirizing, you will enjoy the play. If not, you will enjoy the play as a piece of characteristic Shavian humor. As for other advantages, I see none for a woman who has reached years of discretion. We rose, lay down, slept, ate, studied and "treated" by a bell and I shall probably never lose the sense of aversion that accompanies dinner bell has ever since roused within me. Of course, there were many very young students—several who were only fifteen years old—still it was a state college, and the ages ran up to twenty-five as a very frequent maximum, and in some cases even beyond that. Perhaps a rooming system of this kind is a good thing for girls just out of high school, because they have proved, and its attractions to the older women are unknown. It was the most home-sick place that I ever knew, as well as one of the most uncomfortable. Rooming there was compulsory, otherwise I am sure that more consideration would have been given to our wants. Heating was poor, lights were uncertain, plumbing was far from perfect. All these things were not good in a rooming house, but in the dormitory it took so long to get complaints registered properly that the school year was over before repairs were made, and we were helpless because we were not allowed to live anywhere else. It was cheap—that must be admitted. To a student who was trying to get through college on as little money as possible it was unacceptable. Let that take care be proclaimed, but there seems to be no other. If money-saving is your object, work for a dormitory, but if you want comfort and independence by all means cling to the rooming house. It would be interesting to know how much real experience with dormitories is possessed by the author of Friday evening's editorial. As the writer observed, there is a popular idea that dormitory life would be less pleasant, because more constrained than life in a rooming house—an idea which is represented as being totally inconsistent with the facts. As a proof of the amount of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness allowed by a dormitory, the article says that in a dormitory it is never hard to get away but you can go anywhere at any time because there are so many girls that some are always ready. This is the sole argument offered in favor of the dormitory, and according to my experience it is not always to be demanded on. Unless you want to be ejected from the library for unseemly laughter, don't read "Androcles and the Lion," George Bernard Shaw's latest masterpiece, in September Everybody's. No student could read it without having his risibilities excited to a greater or less degree, depending, of course, upon his temperament. Until you have read it, you cannot imagine yourself reduced to tears of mirth by the contemplation of the early Christian martyrs. But while Shaw's humor is delicate satire rather than slap-stick comedy, in humanizing the ancient martyrs he must have so ridiculous that one must have a terrible grouch on if he isn't highly amused. Mr. Shaw's forte is making people look as ridiculous to everyone else as they do to him, and in this little play he spares not even Caesar. Browsing Around Spooner Student Opinion I lived for a year in a college dormitory occupied by about one hundred women students besides several teachers. If I wanted to go to the theater I must get a party of girls to go, and of course we must have one of the teachers as a chaperone, and must pay her way. If the play was expensive (and we usually did not care to go to such troubled schools) it took out a party to be able to afford the extra expense of the chaperon. Then we must get special permission to be out that evening, the permission being secured by an elaborate system of red tape which took half a day to finish. By that time all the best seats in the house had probably been taken, for it was usually not until the day before the play that we were able to count on our party—both chaperon and students were apt to disturb our plans. Then of course we took an unconscious long time to round up the company and escape. I went to one play during the year there and decided that the result was worth the trouble. Martha M. Taylor, '17.
