"Uncle Jimmy" runs close race for prestige at K.U. with Chancellor Frank Strong who is probably the best obeyed head of any college and the most admired one in the United States. However between Uncle Jimmy Green and the boys there is a different kind of feeling. This old gentleman has been dean of the law school at K.U. so long that the buildings themselves are a fixture as much as he is. Uncle Jimmy Green is beloved by many a lawyer senator and representative whom he instructed and taught how to improve a little upon Blackstone. Not only being a great legal light he is what can be termed a "mixer." When K.U. boys in their college pranks are captured by the granite of the law, Uncle Jimmy is in court bright and early to fight for his boys. He always wins his cases too. Then he takes the young men in hand, censures them as much as the sport encourages all manner of athletic stunts. Many a football game has been won through Uncle Jimmy's loyalty and enthusiasm. The old gray haired warrior, when he offers up a plea to the team to win, puts determination in them to do so. Uncle Jimmy stands strong in the hearts of thousands of Kansas boys because of his watchfulness over them when they were at school and to him they are all "his boys" and he would protect them to the last inch if they told him that they once yelled with him, "Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K.U."—Arkansas City Traveler.

And the team next year, with the same coach and with Stuffy Dunmire ably succeeding Lefty Sproull as captain, will be mighty apt to equal the recent record—or make a better one.

By William Herbert Carruth, '80 Formerly Vice-Chancellor of the University. Tis nearly nineteen hundred years Since the Judean shepherds heard The angel's song, "Peace on earth, good will to men." Needed as sadly now as then. Peace and good will on earth to women. Of peace on earth, good will to women The angel prophecy has thrilled; On earth it still is unfulfilled. Men hear The song, strife not done. Never will come the age of peace Until the wolf with lambkin lies, Brings peace on earth, good will to women.

Category: campus news Subjects: student opinion; university affairs; campus issues Confidence: 0.7 Title: Printing the News Summary: To the Editor of the Daily Kansan: As some of us view it, this agitation against the editor of the Kansan is due to the fact that (1) The Kansan advocated the enforcement of a law forbidding the placarding of streets by tacking placards on telephone poles; (2) The printing of the news that warrants had been issued charging the Student Council with violating this ordinance. Q. E. D. The case against the Daily Kansan seems to be that (1) it supported law enforcement and (2) gave its readers the news. Does Mr. Holloway want his students paper to wink at the infraction of law? And to suppress the news? Subscriber.

This practice has been going on for some time, and so long as it was applied strictly to activities of the student body at large, nothing was said about it; but one thing leads on to another. What will come next? Advertising a "Junior Dance" by scattering about a thousand handbills out in front of the gymnasium last week. In this particular instance there was no harm done, as there was no wind and the janitor picked them up the first thing next morning. This not only makes the campus look bad but it leads to a spirit of carelessness on the part of the students about scattering trash about the campus and city. Thinking that I am expressing student sentiment I'll watch for re- sults. If you wish to advertise, do it through the Daily Kansan or on bulletin boards such as the Kansan advocated last week.
