FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1925 " ALUMNI AND LIQUOR Homecoming is far enough past now to look back on it with something skin to sandy. As usual there was a considerable amount of booze consumed in Lawrence. But this will not be the only time during the year that "columbiana" will be held here. If it were it could probably be passed over with even a little best thought now given it. It is supposed to be true that the majority of the fraternities on the Hill are working to prevent their alumni from bringing liquor to their parties and coming to those parties after drinking. At various times during the year when big formal parties are staged by Hill fraternities and other organizations, there will be liquor in these houses. And in fairness to these groups it must be said that the creature part of it will be brought by alumni. The same thing will probably be true at the time of the Rivals and other athletic events. But a wider effort than that is necessary to convince some alumni that K. U. is not really predominately "wet." Some method of universal alumnae education along this line is necessary to spread the fact that K. U. stands for *free aridity*. To most people it is a big question whether an alumnus should be made to feel unwelcome when he is a biology distributor. Many of the same type are also heavy contributors when alumni are called on for funds. The Kaisan believes, nevertheless, that an alumnus who is a bloater carrier should receive the cold shoulder. THE MOSLEM QUESTION 3. Chas will arrive in Kansas City this evening. We wonder if he will bring an adjournance for the edifice of the Kansas City Star. Once more the League of Nations council becomes the focal center of the world's interest. Skieries jeff and idealists wait today, for the Moorish dispute between Turkey and Great Britain come up for discussion. Attempts to bring about direct negotiations between the two parties have failed. The permanent court of international justice has put the matter directly up to the council for settlement by its recent ruling, Great Britain has expressed dissatisfaction with that procedure, but the Turks insist that the role of the council must be only that of a mediator, since it has no power to impose its will. Serious complications are involved in the dispute. The Moslems refuse to accept any decision involving abandonment of their claims to sovereignty over the Moula area which lies in the northern part of the British mandated territory in Mosopotamia. If the council decides against the Turks, Great Britain will have the advantage of being in military occupation of the disputed territory, and all the dimension and revolution of the past will continue unabated into the future. WAS NOTRE DAME HASTY? It is with distinct regret that football fans of this region look upon the break in football relations of Notre Dame and the University of Nebraska. To be sure Drake has been substituted on the Irish sched. Book Nook Reveals Interesting Material Concerning Reading Habits of University Student If a man's books are an index to his mind the Little Book nook on Macaucasias street is getting some sidebars on that much delicuously illustrated book. The American college student. The behavior of the darling of our educational system around books has always been of absorbing interest to educators, ministers of the good, professors of culture, youth movers montons. A question that immediately comes to mind after hearing of the kind of books that I have read at the store is do the literary taste of the University run to poetry and plays, contrary to the popular belief that poetry is better for readers? Fifty per cent more books of poem and dramatic literature than novels come down from the library. a lot less repard Drake, a much smaller school, as representative of valley football at Nebraska. Then two there seems to be something of bitterness in the break between the two schools. The bookstore early in the fall discontinued its line of "popular copyrights." They weren't popular with student book buyers. One would almost say University students were not interested in their family favorites like Gove Strontion Porter, Harold Bell Wright, James Oliver Curved and Edgar Guest have been neglected. Not a single gift book of Guest has been sold to students in three months. But a little salt must be taken with this highbrowness of the books. The book *Book Nook* is based on the Book Nook book *Beecock*; "Decemmero," and Mr. Beecock, imminent enough in his own day no doubt, is now branded "rather ripe." Lart on the program but not the least popular with the audience was a humorous selection "Wedding of Honee and Kathrin." Realism in music can go no further than it did in the folk songs, bells, bird songs, sounds of locomotives and flivers, an Indian war dance, a dance and baby cries. "Egyptian Baller" by LuigiPulis was the outstanding number of the entire program. It presented variations of the baller dance, which were particularly good. Two concert solos by Mr. McCanes with blend accompaniment were features of the concert. Both were Mr. McCanesi own compositions. In point of view of execution "Colouratura" presented the baller dance in a movement and exceptionally bith. By Lucile Fenton Notre Dame followers insist that they were insulted at Lincoln, especially by the signs in the store window. The sign which they found objectionable, "Host the Roughhawk Irish," was the work of the people down town and was not sponsored or used by the University of Nebraska. People who attended the game commented on the hospitality to Notre Dame that Nebraska extended. Hasty action by the Notre Dame authorities in changing the schedule not only strained the relations between the two schools but robbed the Middle West of a great football game that was fast becoming an institution. An interesting variation on the program was a saxophone octet which played the "Torcedor's Song" from "That Are Brightest" from Wallace's opera "Martiana." Their performance demonstrated that the saxophonist, which the majority of people think of as a capable of producing other effects. Recommendation for the abolishment of reserve engineering training camps was made in the annual report of Major General Harry Taylor, chief of army engineers, submitted to Secretary of War Davis recently. Two vocal solos by Eli Warnege were well received. However, they would have been more appreciated by the audience in an audition if they had been booster. At the Concert Another number for the band which was worthy of prince was the overture to Rossini's "Stabat Mater." In 1907, he released an expressive it was one of the finest. It would warm H. L. Menken's heart to learn that in a Middlewestern university with all its "kokes and penalties," as he would say, 25 copies of "Netzschae" have been purchased. But if menken would think he would think that students brought the Bible with them from home when he learned that during the same period not a single copy of the Scriptures was sold. But, then, others besides him bought the books by book buying list of the undergraduate. Books on scientific and social problems have been among the poorest sellers. However, among the most demanded type of books are the established Modern library and Evenman series. Although three-fourths of the business of the Book Nook is with University students, it is clear that a relatively small portion of the species. About 15 per cent of the students have bought books of a general literary nature, Franklin M. Watt, one of the authors of the store's business. Even more revealing is the estimate that 20 persons do one half of the literary book buying of the student body. And one of five heaviest buyers is a Chicopee. STUDENTS! ONLY 6 MORE SHOPPING DAYS One observation of Mr. Watts has been on what kind of student do read outside of the required school work. He finds that time after time these books buyers are those students listed on the Hill as "busy" and "popular." On Other Hills As a protest against the ban on automobiles at Baylor university, a number of men and women students went buggy riding. Colleges and universities in the United States have an enrollment this year that totals 602,600 students. This is 73 per cent, as many as have been graduated from American institutions of college rank in the last 300 years. A larger percentage of graduates of Anuherst college are in the "Who's Who in America" than any other college. The second year of the aviation course offered by the naval reserve to male students in the University of Wisconsin and to its citizens of Madison, was begun this week. The course includes instruction in aerology, theory of flight, navigation, aviation engines and naval history. A Yale law student was the first one arrested as the result of New Haven drive for the enforcement of the "jaywalk" law. "Just a few more days till vacation." This seems to be the greeting, farewell, and chief topic of conversation on the campus. But interspersed here and there are comments on this Do-Your Christmas Shopping early. As a reward for making a ā€œEā€ average, fifty juniors and seniors at the University of North Carolina were granted optional class attendance. Harvard University and the University of Virginia have announced the opening of a new course leading to a degree in architecture. This course is designed for students who will be known as the Virginia-Harvard course in architecture. With the belief that more college yellls are needed, a contest is being held among the students of the University of Michigan to encourage the making of new yellls. "My word!" walled a Christmas bargain hunter, "I've got my list inside and I know where I can get it everywhere, but I haven't got any cash." "Boy, you sew like an old maid dress-maker," said his roommate, "if you aren't careful you'll make that hole invisible." "That's nothing" retorted a fresh man woman, "I don't know what to give people. Now what can you give a man who has everything?" Plain Tales From the Hill "Well, it may not be invisible," sighed the senior, but here's hoping it stays indispleasing. Vacation Is Utmost in Minds of Hill Students A senior sat on the edge of his bed swaying up a tear in the seat of his trousers. And so it goes. But above the worries of Christmas shopping runs the thought of the near vacation. STUDENTS!
