Proverbs represent the cream of a people's thought—From the Chiman
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
With the resignation of William
Allen White from the Board of Re-
gents, the students of the Uni-
verse are losing a close friend and
sympathizer.
Once a student himself, Mr. White remained "one of the boys," and was a common visitor to the pool of Robinson Gymnasium where he vied with the best swimmers of the institution in making high dives and back plunges from the spring board. He understood the undergraduate point of view, despite which he has time and time again proved his practical worth to the University.
Mr. White never lost sight of the fact that the University is composed of more than one faction, and his work in the past proves that he had the correct idea of each.
His loss to the institution will be felt undoubtedly. "It is regrettable that his work forced him to resign as he has always done his utmost to further the best interests of old K. U., and seemed to have her welfare at heart.
Thanks are extended to him for what he has done in the past, both as alumnus and Regent.
After this, the Oread high school will surely declare a holiday whenever the University does. Witness the story on page 1 of last night's Kansan.
THE DEBATING TRY-OUT
The try-out for the selection of the university debating squad will be held Wednesday December 11. The proposition for the try-out will be, "Resolved, that the policy of regulated competition should be adopted by the federal government as the solution of the trust problem." This resolution will be debated with the universities of Missouri and probably with the Universities of Oklahoma and Colorado. Six minutes will be allowed each man in the try-out, and he may discuss either the negative or affirmative side of the question.
It is important that every man interested in debating participate in this try-out. Over forty men took part in last year's try-out, and a still larger number should show their active interest in debating this year. Outside of athletics, the only inter-collegiate activity in which the University of Kansas competes is debating. Its importance therefor should not be underestimated.
The advantages of debating were pointed out by Professor Gesell in his chapel talk of last week. Perhaps the greatest value of debating is the opportunity for research work which it affords the student. This phase of debating, which has hitherto been overlooked was brought out by Professor Gesell in his speech. As proof of this he cited examples of a number of men
who first became interested in their life work while intensively studying public questions in the preparation for inter-collegiate debating.
For the first time in nine years Kansas won from Missouri in the last annual debate. The two men who represented Kansas in this debate were doing as much for the school as though they had won a spectacular athletic contest. Many students, and among them are some of marked ability, have the impression that intercollegiate debating is of little importance and is not worth their time and efforts. This impression is erroneous. Debating ranks as high in interest in this university as in any other of the Middle West. With two live debating societies and the keen competition our sister universities have always given us, the try-out this year should bring out some of the best material Kansas has ever produced.
It is seen by a headline that a school house has been moved by a heavy vote. Hardly necessary to remark that it wasn't a straw vote
THE COLUMBIA TEAM
The following paragraph is reprinted from the Kansas Notes of the Kansas City Star. The fact that Columbia University has not had a football team for five years may make Ed. Greer's explanation funier than was intended originally.
"Nicholas Murray Butler is being laughed at for asking 16 million dollars for Columbia University's immediate needs, but Ed Greer of the Winfield Courier suggests that people forget how much it costs to run a football team."
KNOW THE OUTSIDE
KNOW THE OUTSIDE WORLD
The typical university man lives in a little world of his own, cut off in great measure from the real world outside, in which he is preparing to take a place. Without doubt he is getting the best preparation that the best men of his time can devise; but the fact remains that he is out of touch with actual conditions, except the sporting events. He comes from a high school, or a small preparatory school, plunges into the most interesting and absorbing life possible, and, even if he had any "practical" experience before matriculation, finds himself engulfed in a swirl of college activities that, seemingly, gives him no time for anything else.
The result is that, after years of getting ready for something, the prepared one finds himself a stranger in a strange land; speaking its language, but handicapped by a lack of understanding and compelled to learn that history before he can do what he has been prepared to do.
A remedy would be a compulsory course in Current Events and their Significance; but no such course is offered. There is, however, another remedy, rather preventative, nearer at hand, and easier to take. In fact, after one takes it for a short time, he cannot get along without it. He cannot that college men are so healthy, that is they confident, that they scorn all "dope," especially preventatives, the very things that are reputed to be worth more to the ounce than all other medicines to the pound.
Do a bit of preparing on your own hook. Keep your feet in time with the college lock step—but your ear cocked for the marching tunes of the big procession going by outside. Do what nine-tenths of us don't do; read the daily papers and worthwhile magazines—Michigan Daily.
OUT OF THE MOUTHS
OF WISE OLD BOYS
Mere scholarship and learning and the knowledge of books do not by any means arrest and dissolve the human system. Nor would I pretend for a moment that literature can be any substitute for life and action. Burke said, "What is the education of the generality of the world? What is the education of books? What is the straint and discipline, examples of virtue and of justice, these are what form the education of the world; profoundly, true, is life that is the education of books. But the parcel of books, if they are well chosen, reconcile us to this discipline; they interpret this virtue to the diviner mind, and rouse us to a consciousness of what is best in others and ourselves—Lord Morley.

SUCH IS LIFE
Under the caption, "College Shang," Life Magazine prints the following article which ought to inform the Daily Kansan feel real news.
College slang is apparently on the rack. Its use and abuse have been generally exploited during the last few weeks.
The University of Kansas publishes a daily paper called the University Daily Kansan. This paper, according to al reports, is a hot-bed station of this taken from the headlines in one number are as follows:
The trouble seems to have started in Kansas, where most troubles originate.
"The Toot Manifesto is Effective To-day. (That is, the new regulation for signal-whistling goes into effect.)"
"Andrew (sc. Carnegie) Digs Up Again."
"That Baldwin Team Still Eating Em Up."
"Jayhawker Hopes on the Tobogan."
"Test Heart Action of Bubble Warons."
Now the head of the department of English in the Kansas University is a gentleman of sensitive nerves, and he has hastened to state that the department of journalism is entirely separated from that of his own. At the same time he intimates that if the Kansas appears to be still under the blight of slang and apparently not able to recover from it.
Pharmacy may henceforth be studied at home. Fine, but will these home students be able to master the pronunciation of the many words of Marathon length without the aid of instructors?
STUDENT OPINION
The lighting of the buildings on the campus is undoubtedly as inefficient and antedated as may be found in this section of the country. Just why considerable portions of the appropriations should be expended for relatively unimportant purposes, and that they should not remain, as it was installed twenty or thirty years ago, does not seem quite clear.
Ask any student why he is unable to study twenty-five or thirty minutes in the library without experiencing severe eye strain or headache. He will probably attribute it to anything except the real cause of the trouble, the inefficient and unhygienic lighting.
WE'RE IN THE DARK.
Editor Daily Kansan;
It would seem that in an institution of this size, the library could be illuminated in a manner which enables a student to do his best work. It would be comparatively inexpensive, and the damage done to the appropriations would be negligible. Although many of the other building are better examples of incorrect liking than the library, they are not needed and would make the installation of proper systems of illumination would tend to raise the standard of work which is being done in them.
The whole industrial and commercial world is awaking to the necessity of more and better light. Why should the University of Kansas be backward in this respect?
All announcements for this colu-
ture will be added to the news

There is an exciting race scene, an intense act of action laid away up in the Kentucky mountains and a novel and amusing plantation scene introducing a score of clever little colored lads in songs, dances and band music. Nothing better in a dramatic way, nothing more wholesome and more entertaining can be desired than "In Old Kentucky." It is a strongly dramatic and an unusually thrilling story of real people, elaborately presented and splendidly plumed.
