TRADITION IN THE MAKING
Published in the afternoon, five times a week and on Sunday morning by students in the Department of Journalism of the University of Pennsylvania; in the Press of the Department of Journalism.
SUNDAY, MAY 9, 1926
Shades of past heroes hover over the unveiling of the Rock Chalk Pill Friday night. It is too soon to say that history was made, but it is certain that never before this year, has K. u. Fervor and loyalty reached the high pitch it attained at Sachen's first outdoor initiation.
Merle Smith thrilled his listeners with tales of K. U. lore and tributes to the men of K. U. whom time has honored. The choice of speaker was a happy one.
Even the elements, appealed to by Sachem's incantations, favored the services. When rain threatened to roct the crowds, a great rift in the clouds assured the audience that nasus were favorable.
Tradition cannot be created. Friday night's ceremony may or may not live through the years. But it is an undeniable fact that the little circle of men and women who sat in the flickering light of the fire at the base of the Rock Chuck Pile, with left-handed fingers, has greater understanding of its past, and higher hopes for its future than they had when they came.
Some of the more optimistic citizens of Kansas City believe that new city manager will quit dishing out jobs to Democrats when all the Democrats in the city have been given jobs.
EFFICIENT!
Four score or more—or less-heads were bent in evident concentration over books lying open on the long tables in the library. Pens were chasing up and down the pages of notebooks. It was that hour when everyone has more or less settled down to good hard concentration, and when the library clock in the hall upstairs pointed to 9:30, even if the one down stairs did still say 7:50. Big thoughts and great theories were in the process of being captured.
Or perhaps, "The effect produced upon the community — BANG— by the influence of its —SLAM— institutions would be —WHAM—."
“Art,” one student wrote, “is invariably the expression of external conditions modified by the BANG—of the artist. The genius of the artist. BANG—.”
Fourcore heads looked up in disgust and annoyance at the library assistant who was blithely closing the windows of the big reading room. Four score pens stopped until he completed the task, then settled down for another attempt to finish the passage before it should be time to leave.
"Calvin used his —squeak —influence during those years of —squawk —hardship and toil to help the —screech—" and four score heads looked up again in rightiness indignation. The assistant was straightening the chairs.
The library clock, the one upstairs that is pointed to ten minutes of ten. Every table was in perfect order. Every window was closed. Not a chair viewed out of line by so much as an inch. But not a student was utilizing that last ten minutes that often means the difference between a late assignment and a prompt one. The library assistant was proud of himself.
Fourcore caps were screwed on fourcore pens. Fourcore notebooks shut with a slam, and their ownn got up, with plenty of aquakns and serecres themselves, and stomped out of the library.
"Got done right on time tonight! Well, yes, he did.
WESTWARD HA! HA!
The rising wind caught the sagging sails, filled them to roundness and sent them scudding over the water—wait, that's not right.
The rising wind filled spring coats and silk dillers and sent their wearers scrumbing over gutters and sidewalks, grass and dandelions. Papers shipped out of notebooks and went away over lilac bushes and tulin beds.
Class groups out on field trips
clutched mutly at open notebooks,
unwieldy books and insecure late-
days in the classroom.
intrinsic fields in the teeth of the rule.
Windblown, strangely-hatred women spend half of chass class in trying to get smoothed out again. Those不fortunate few men students who were bats clauses them down the street thanks for providence for a traffic ordinance which made their lives and hats reasonably safe. Masculine attire with the super-nail trouser bottoms was more disconcerting to its weavers than the scanty costumes of the women.
The man who picks up the paper or the campus was the hardest hit. "Pretty windy," someone called to him. "Better tomorrow probably." "Maybe for you," he called back. "Not for me. Look at those paper! Tomorrow's my busy day."
At least one week will be rightly named—Study Week, May, 28-June 3.
TRY, TRY. AGAIN
With summer in sight, already there are stories of those who have announced their intentions of swimming across the English channel. It is a yearly story and is as inviable as thirst in the Sahara.
Channel conquerors are beyond a double publicity seekers. It is one of the best ways to get before the public that modern man has discovered. But one thing is certain, channel swimmats are not seakers after cheap孵. Anyone who races the chain unlucky deserves all the罚 he gets.
The narrow strip of water dividing strike rider England and debt-ridden France is jeans of man. Only five times in world history has it allowed itself to be mastered. Its winds, its waves, its cold, and its salt water all take delight in combining to rain the hopes of swimmers.
Deserve to perform the difficult feat has become so universal among swimmers that it has assumed national proportions, each country trying to find a champion to carry its dig across. The United States has had representatives who have performed the feat and many others who have tried and failed.
Recently the announcement was made that this July will see the attempts of two American women, Gertrude Ederle, who will try again, and Helen Wainright who also will represent the United States.
This country will watch with interest the attempts of the young women to master a foreign obstacle. If they win they will be hailed as heroes. If they lose as Miss Elderle did last year, they will be urged to try, try again.
A throw-back to the savage mind appears in the attitude of the student today. It is the primitive tendency to examine the basis of a principle.
Students have principles that right or wrong they stubbornly defend. But principles unintelligently urged are mere excuses for refusing to consider one's conviction and conduct.
DEFENSE COMPLEXES
A defense complex, as it were, had been built up for those sacred cows. Reasonable consideration of the merits of a principle is not tolerated. The individual assumes a mystical and irrational mood. He refuses to open his mind.
When such ideas are entrenched in the mind one cannot expect to think freely and fairly. All argument is stopped. There is no other side.
The defense complex is an enemy of social progress. Only when we self-reference, from self-interest, examine both sides of the case with a fair and open mind, and master our natural timidity can we hope for advance.

Lovers of that g gentle beauty which lies all about us, usually unnoticed, the beauty of an old house, of a quiet street, of hollyhubs along a white wall, of a summer afternoon, of a bright green hillide in the sun, will enjoy the exhibition of oil paintings by Professor Raymond Eastwood of the department of painting now hanging in the cemetery. Some of Professor Eastwood's subjects are familiar to K. U. people in a specific as well as a general way, for scenes about Lawrence are the incarnations of "Blue Mound," "My Alley, Spring," and "My Alley Winter." The most of the pictures, however, are Connecticut landscapes, especially the houses and streets of Providence县.
J. CLIFFORD JONES, Secretary.
The artist has painted nature when the sun is shining and the day is clear in his paintings. He sketches green, yellow and red shapes his pictures, as the three Provence pictures, "Captain Bey," "Prehouses Alley" and "Trains," in his paintings.

In looking at these pictures one often feels that the painter has completed by means of his art that creation begin to happen, with big tree and old house. isn't it a pretty picture? Sometimes one feels that he has revealed a delightful beauty in a commercial scene, a back alley, for entertainment or noticing many days. But after all, these are pictures, not colored photographs, and in them is the concentrated beauty which comes from the simplicity of the scene. Even the layman must feel that the pictures are well painted, for, while the method is not to present minute, the effect is realistic. The shadow on the walk under the friendly树 light, one has seen it countless times.

One picture that attracts notice immediately upon entering the exhibit is "The Red Harn." The combination of a fiery red sky and a light blue sky captures attention.
Three pictures that illustrate perhaps as well as any the art of the exhibit are "Freeman Street, Province-town," "Firchouse Alley, Province-town," and "Kannan Landscape." In Province-town, there is a sidewalk tree bed on a stone wall which rambles across the field. It is summer and the green grass under the tree is bright where the sun shines through the leaves. The red sap grows beside the wall and at the foot of the树. Beyond this red sap grows away to the distant purple hills. Firchouse street is a restful place where a group of pink and red hollyhops bloom beside a white picket fence, enclosing an ample yard. The tree cast an effect of light in the shade it is in sight. In "Firchouse Alley," people things like back porches and backyards are painted with a high art. This is the kind of art that honors the commonplace, which is after all the most real world to the majority of Americans. Its meaning of life because of its very commonness.

BOOK NOTES
Writes in *The Middle of the Night*
Anne Parrish is hard at work on a novel to succeed "The Perennial Bachelor" which, by the way, is now selling in its second hundred thousands. She told Harper & Brothers that the new novel is going so well that she will be writing on the night to write a chapter or two
Tolstoy's Translator Speaks
he posthumous novel, "The Devil," by Leo Toltoy which has just been published by Harper's was the last novel that the great Russian completed before his death, and has never been published since. It is translated by Aylmer Maude, who for years was Toltoy's authorized English translator and interpreter. In his preface, Maude tells the incident which prompted Toltoy to write "The servants' cook—cooking." "It is so characteristic of him, and so closely connected with an event that influenced him, that it would be a pity if it not to be known, especially since he left in a completed state; even in this case we do not know which of the two endings he wrote he would have adopted and he published himself it itself." So why did he leave it? So that the reader may take his choice.
