THE CREATORS OF THE PRESENT
We of today are prone to forget the past and to rush mady through the present in preparation for the future. These pioneers were the creators of today, and it had not been for them Lawrence would have a different story to tell. These folks had a belief, rooted in the depths of their hearts, and strengthened by their faith in God which now safely through the bloody days preceding and during the Civil war. They helped to free the negro in the United States, after freeing him in Kansas. Later they fought for prohibition, and were always the vanguards in any movement in keeping with the Christian spirit.
Saturday the old settlers of Lawrence and of Douglas county will meet at the University in a reunion and anniversary. Friendshops made more than a half century ago amid privations and in bloody days will be renewed, some never made before the Civil War, and the history that made Lawrence, even Kansas, will be told again in the series of these people.
They come back to the scene of their early struggles to recreate the scenes of yesterday. Polignant enemies may bring surges or joys, or thrilling tales of border warfare, or bloody scenes of massacres, but it will only be the things which made Kansas what it is today.
The young blood of today is needled to keep on with the future, but surely the noble blood of yesterday, the creators of today, deserve a place in this University, at least a yearly anniversary.
Mr. Lewin has refused the Pulitzer prize, and has again declined an eccentricity. If Lewin keeps on he will finally become a genius.
IT TICK-TOCKS NOT
The clock in the reserve room of Watson library does not tick. Neither it docto it. It just stares and stares. From morning until night, from week to week, the hands stand at 7:50.
Not that the students who study in the reserve room have any use for the clock. They are past that, Long ago, when the clock smilingly told the time, students found pleasure in them many times during the day. But not once had they learned to glance at it. It has long been silent and unlace.
Of course if Silent Seth became active again and marked time for the reserve room the remainder of the semester the entire Hill would be pleased, but that is not expected. The Hill has succeeded in getting along without a clock in the reserve room this long. It can get along without it for three weeks longer with little inconvenience.
Another year is coming. Soon this school year will end. Students on the Hill next fall would appreciate an alert clock in the reserve room.
Surely it would be nice to have Silent Seth awaken from his sleep of peace by the time visitors for commencement arrive on the Hill. No doubt summer session students would appreciate daily activity on the part of Seth. But that is out of the question. We can only hope that Seth will be ready to resume his old duty with the infux of new life again next fall.
A HINT TO THE WISE
The service at the Commons does not satisfy the Hill. This is evident from the comment heard on the campus since the recent Kanas editorial criticizing the situation at the Commons.
Charges of too little variety, too few changes in menu, poor service, high prices, and half-cooked or partially spoiled food continue to pear on the Commons. Its decreasing patronage have been proving this point.
Students want good food for a reasonable price. When the Community, which supposedly exists to provide good food at a moderate rate, makes a practice of charging high prices for poor service and poorly cooked meals there is ground for complaint.
If good food were served at the Commons students would eat there. They would forget the difference in price then. But as it is, they are willing to walk even a mile from the campus for a good meal.
If the present policy continues it would seem that the Commons will be forced to elicit its does on account of a breach of its laws. A hint to the wife (should) be cautioned.
THE GATHERING OF THE CLANS
In 1225 the smoking light of the fiery crenes of old Scotland's hills, O'Connor was inaugurated on the banks, son of Fidlech of the red hair.
Centuries before, on the occasion of a Greek holiday, a tumult near Corinth was the score of ceremonies. Corinth paid its triumph to the tradition of the fallens.
Tonight the tribes of the Sahara will meet on Mount Oread at the Rock Chalk Pit to honor the heroes of the tribe and to announce their new tribal leaders.
Every country has had its movements to tradition. The tulumin of Greece, the caimr of Scotland, the pyramids of Egypt and the mounds of the North American Indian are typical.
In choosing this ceremony, Sachem has followed true to history. The honor society, taking its name and customs from the plains Indian, has followed through in a fitting way by going to the Indian mound builders for its new ceremonial plan.
When the Chief Sacomba places on the site of the Rock Chalk Pile the stone taken from Old North College will it be before the eyes of a great gathering of the tribes of Kanaan? Aye, if there be any royalty or honor, it will be the year's most inspiring moment.
THAT OUT-OF-TOWN TRIP
As the instructor draws to a class and finals loom, it is strange how many classes need it necessary to take out-of-town trips. Some students need take but one others less fortunate find that they must take two or three in order to satisfy class requirements.
Such trips have their benefits, no doubt, but it is unfair to the student to break into his studies and other classwork in such degree as is done. Each trip means that classes must be missed for an entire day. Since many of these excursions are planned for Tuesday or Thursday, valuable time is lost by those who are enrolled in two-bour courses. Each bong is valuable at this stage and instructors have a right to expect that other members of the faculty will do nothing that may cause students to lose any of that time. Further, after an all-day trip, the student is not in a condition to study even if he desires to.
There is nothing wrong in the idea of these trips to Kansas City and Topeka when they are taken in moderation, but this year they are being done to death. The journeys may be highly instructive, but it is a question that many people ask the time consumed at such a period in the school year.
The remedy seems simple—merely to schedule these trips earlier in the semester. Surely that is feasible in most instances. Even if they were planned for April, the situation would be relieved. It might even be possible to plan a “trip week” when class work could be cut to a minimum.
In fairness to the individual student and the other members of the faculty who do not follow the practice, some such plan should be adopted. This situation must not arise again next year.
so that each class could go on it own particular little jaunt.
THE INEVITABLE END
The human race is doomed. Grim death by starvation is the fate. The end is inevitable. Every tick of the clock brings it nausea. At least that is the startling declaration made by a man named Hank Hill, a graduate from the Academy of Science the other day.
Under present conditions the population of the world will double every thirty years. Within three generations there will be two thousand million more people than the world can supply, and children will be the last of the race.
We are doomed, that is, unless science comes to the rescue by supplying symbiotic foods for life. If not it would appear that European and American civilization will drift into a condition similar to that in the Far East, where a nothing mass of human existence is needed for a land-to-moon existence.
Malawi missed his guess only a century. Those who nearly a century ago set the end of the race at the end of the nineteenth century merely miscalculated. And so of those who half a century ago, ten years ago, a year ago, last month, forecast the inevitable end.
There have been mistaken before.
This time there is no help. The end
is certain. All we can do is wait-
together the prophecy and another
date.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansas:
Just why do the students of the present move to pick up with the present moment? It is evidently up to the stuctor to have a new more expressive sense! have a new more expressive sense! have a new more expressive sense!
The cafeteria at Manhattan, at Chicago and almost every other university has an excellent restaurant while the restaurant poorest eating place in Lawrence.
I have attempted to stand the corn, but along with a few tough knurers, it has been excellent in size, like gore. The Commons chile is very good for corn and Mexican beans. The chili juice consists of the water in that the bean (or potatoes) that four crackers are ever served with this bean.
I have ordered common vegetable soup and instead of containing vegetables, I have added the bottom of my bowl. That strong raw orange and taste were enough to fill the day. The hamb is in the worst of all. It contains raw meat, cow gravis, pork fat and grease. One day last October I found three lattice baked in with other vegetables.
It is hard to tell whether the potatoes are supposed to be mashed, or merely boiled, and why some of these lumps aren't removed.
In the cake I have come upon chunk of baking powder as big as marbles. Even the ice cream and milk are often sour.
Why isn't something done? Are we going to wait until some student dies from poisoning poisoning, or until someone dies from down? A disgraced student C. H.

At the close of a class period the other day a professor remarked—"I noticed some chewing gum, passing notes, reading, and talking in class. I am sure that there is more than one rest room on the campus."
Student—"I'll bite, which one?"
This one is not on the absent-minded professor. It happened at a local bar and I got to hear one of the fair excavated after taking the second helpless of silenced tomahawk.
Students eating at the University Commons report that since the appearance of the editorial protest against the service at the Commons, mapped potatoes have been reduced in price from seven to six cents.
