THE STUDENT POLL
Tomorrow, in conversation, a poll will be taken on one of the foremost questions of the day—the World Court. In voting the students and the University of Karas will take a stand either for or against the Court and in so doing will say to the nation at large that the educational institutions of the country are taking an active interest in national affairs. This is the first real opportunity that the students of American have had in influencing popular opinion and it is their privileges and duty to assume their responsibility in an intelligent and decisive manner.
Reedward B. Floodick, brother of Harry Floodick Peckish, will speak on "America's International Opportunity" and another speaker will present the mRNA or disadvantages of the proposals to be voted upon. The Kansas has made an effort to inform its readers of the substance of the proposals, the last articles appearing in these pages today. Also, since Thursday, Oct. 15, the Christian associations have featured open forum discussions where precisely every phase of the question has been brought up. Students should have by late this week a fair understanding of the situation. However, it might be well to turn up the "two and con" of the arguments advanced for the participation of the United States in the World Court.
The advocates of the proposal to "take the court" hold that an international court is a cherished American ideal; that it substitutes law for force in the settlement of disputes; that the new court is urgently needed if peace is to be ensured, and that by shaping the United States is blocking the world's efforts for peace that no obligation exists to force submission to the court; and that the court has no connection with the League of Nations.
The opponents of "joining the crowd" assert that the court is a child of the league and that the United States would eventually be drawn into it; that the jurification of the court is not obligatory; that there is no provision for the enforcement of its decisions; and that to visualize the court as an army of peace is an illusion.
It is upon these questions that the students tomorrow will be asked to hase their decisions as to whether or not the United States shall enter the World Court, and if so, according to what plan.
--have been able to write down what he knew about this course in three hours or the intelligent instructor would not expect him to do it.
"Red" Grange, the University of Illinois football star, received $20,000 for playing in one game of professional football that week after he had finished his college football career. Mighty quick returns on a college education!
EDUCATION PAYS!
Education pays. Of course it does.
For every cent invested in a twentieth-century education the individual will receive a return in money many times the original sum invested, educators of the nation say, and they should know if anyone does.
Look at "Red" Grange, the ruthatched University of Illinois all-American football star, "Red," after the close of the football season last week, which incidentally closed his college football career, joined a professional team and received $20,000 for his share of the gate receipt of the first game.
Movie managers tried for months to get Grange to sign a contract to act in the movies. Various professional football teams offered him fabulous sums to play for them. A petition was even circulated to secure his nomination for Congressman-in-altage in the next election. His name he opened far.
Education may, if "Red" Orange were not securing an education he would not be at the University of Illinois, and if he were not in the university he would not be playing football. Education is paying well in this instance.
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
FINAL EXAMINATIONS
Jasper Jayhawk was taking three-hour course as students but for example, we will use only this three-hour course it will do as well as any.
In it Jasper learned nine hours worth of knowledge each week, that is, three hours in the classroom and six hours outside study. Eighteen weeks of this credited him with 162 hours' worth of learning for the semester.
At the end of the semester, he was given a three-hour examination in which he wrote down the greater part of what he learned in this 102 hours. Persis can one may doubt that Jasper was able to do this in three hours. But when one learns that this final examination counted as the most of Jasper's grade, then one can easily draw the conclusion that he must have been able to write down what
New, Jaquer, poor fellow, only made a grade of "D" in this course. He had taken one quiz sometime during the semester it which he made a "C," but the final examination in which he had been expected to write down 182 hours worth of knowledge in three hours had of course far overbalanced that But Jaquer had an idea. He would small only in courses in which the instructor gave quizzes at least every two weeks, and in that way, he would have a fair chance to show the instructor what he was learning, he could not have such a great amount of knowledge to remember for one quiz. Also if he missed fire on me, he would have sufficient opportunity to make it up on the others Beside this he would not be temperate to put his studying off until the end of the year. Again again Jaquer was out of luck. He could not find many such classes.
PROFITEERS
Saturday before Thanksgiving day Lawrence and the University entered twenty thousand guests. Three restaurants which call themselves "student restaurants" boosted price and one down-town eating place enforced a system of increased price for out-of-town guests.
At the Jayhawk, the Oread, and the College Inn, where regular prices for meals are ordinarily 35 cents and 40 cents, the cheapest meal which was served Saturday was priced at 75 cents. At this price, (which was not the maximum, since turkey was served in at least one of these placees for $1.00 a portion), the Jayhawk fee 1500 people, the College Inn 900, and Brick's 800. At the Liberty Cafe down town, people who were known as being town people were charged 50 cents, while others were charged $1 for exactly the same meal.
The spirit which led to such overcharge in discouraging. That the institutions which have been built on student patronage and friendship should be guilty of holding up visitor and student in such fashion shows a complete absence of that spirit of loyalty to the University which these places claim.
The Hillside Cafe served 700 meals at an average price of 35 cents, the De Luxe served 1500 people at 65 cents a meal, the Colonial Tea Room served about six hundred persons at the regular price of 50 cents, and the Carolyn Tea Room charged its regular price of 50 cents.
Other examples good and bad might be mentioned but the prices which were charged in most cases showed the difference between fair dealing and high business ethics and the spirit of "get what you can."
The regular payroll for faculty members and employees is now ready for signature at the Business Office, and should be signed this week, so that the warrants may be returned to us for distribution before the holidays.

BRITISH JUSTICE
Elsewhere be the,
Upon my word I do not heed 'em.
In bad I die.
an eighteen-year-old English boy, Arthur Kepesh, sentenced to death for the murder of his aunt, has just granted a recompense to an indefinite term of imprisonment, the length of which will rest with King George.
With book hard by,
And with increasing zest I read 'em.'
Botany Club will meet at 1134 Louisiana at 7:10 p. m. Wednesday, Dec
Professor Kellogg will speak on landscape gardening.
Kopesh's repreme is something unusual in the run of British law, but his trial was a typical example of the swifness of British justice as compared to the delays often encountered in American courts. It was only 33 days from the time the woman's body was found until he was sentenced to death for the crime. The case is no exception; it is typical of what happens to those who murder n England.
Students of the crime wave in America say that the only way to sub this ever-growing evil in this country, is to have stricter enforcement. With added, and more efficient police power, crime cannot be checked, unless the criminal knows beforehand that his judgment will be wift and vengeful. British law is easily infiltrable, and crime does not learish there. "Getting by," has been so prevalent in law breaking in he United States that the crime wave continues to increase.

"Though care and strife
As bad a case of bibliophilia as is ever found was that of Charles Lamb, the author of "The Other men's minds. When I am not walking I am reading. I cannot sit and think. Books think for me." Eugene Field's case was milder. He wrote:
This disease, "bibliophilia" in technical language, has a way of attacking men who get their names in encephalopathy. Men and women are frequently found suffering with its ravages. Roosevelt, apostle of the strenuous life, was a glutton for books all through his life. Naturally, he is a great accent form among literary men.
has an airbite dog with an uncertain disposition. A few days ago he became mildly excited over a woman student that was passing the house. He played around her ankles in a most ungentlemanly fashion. Her hair was long, and the power of the dog rushed to the door, poked her head out, and yelled: "Cacas! Caccas!"
Fresh: Four letter, whee! Whadda he get 'em in.

Senior Cake: That guy there is a four letter man.
Since women have copied men's hair-cuts, smoking, language, and other masculine characteristics, the only thing left for men to do is to retain their individuality, according to Doctor Browne, a hygienist, else he is grow beards.

"Gee! it's 8:10 now. Got an 8:30?" "Un-hun!"
"Goin' to eat breakfast?" "Un-hun!"
"Goin' to make you 8:30?" "Sure am," gargled the lightning dresser he alot split in a mouthful of coathorse, "when the roll is called ap yonder. I be there."
- Love of books has afflicted a certain class of men as love of women has all of the male sex.
Interesting enough this class of amish readers has cut across all of her srata, professions and trades in society. There are, collected from all ages, about as large a number of comments on the bookish habit as those on for sureerism, compiled by America's magnate magnitudes and millionaires.

A school of religion may be established at Ohio State University as a result of a resolution adopted by the University church association, which ordered that the president to William Ostey Thompson, retiring president of Ohio State.
A man of affairs like William Pitt, Earl of Chatham, took time for reading. He wrote to his nephew, James, describing himself as brains of reading, and never suffer yourself or anyone else to break in upon them, your days will slip through your hands.
tion for judicious reading: "Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed and some few are to be chewed and digested; . . ."
Besides inventing a type of steam engine, artillery improvements and other mechanical devices, William Congreve turned in his comment on books: "feast your meal and mortify your flesh; read and take your nourishment at your eyes, shut up your mouth and chew the end of understanding."
Frasmus, the Dutch scholar, once made this suggestion to ease the attacks of the bibliophile: "A little before you go to sleep read something that is exquisite, and worth remembering; and contemplate upon it till you fall asleep; and when you awake, in a moment call yourself to an Account for it"
Samuel Johnson and John Wesley agree that an educated man should spend five of the four and twenty hours with his books.
The challenge of books is sounded by old Voltaire. "You despise books; you whose lives are absorbed in the vanities of ambition, the pursuit of pleasure, or in indulence but remember that all of the known world except only savage nations, is governed by books."
Book Notes
"Eat of Eden," by Lynn Monroe; Harper & Brothers, New York. East of Eden is a novel of the land that supports and inspires its tillers to love it, and to defend its possession against all intruders. The story is in the background of Illinois in the period following the land occupation with the end of the war, and ended so dramatically for no ordinary farmers.
The fortunes of the Deceiving family are strongly tied up with the land from which they wrest a living, and the struggle which resulted from the reaction to high war prices for grain, caught them in it did thousands of other farmers all over the country. The accumulation of years of grueling work by a small land bank encouraged to the small town bankers, who finally came to represent all the minister civil of the "monkeyed interests."
The struggle to retain thelm empic, and the author handles his people with understanding, if not with affection. Fred Deering, harsh man that he is, commands respect from the standfast love-of-6-him that imposition of fear over his life, he discovers that some men seem to get along in the world without the toll and struggle which have been necessary in his case. A man so slow and elemental in his thinking that he can not understand the nature of the village burden* taunts until the victim's anger is overcome, the actor is so sturdy that he can no conceive of pettiness in the legislature at Springfield.
When dreamers groupe a national grain growers' association, Deering is converted and believes that he has found a pawn for all the financial benefits of growing corn. The tragedy of the failure of the grain growers' association breaks Deering's spirit and brings stark horror to climax his failure, but his family looks forward to a brighter future to climate change if the father could ever imagine.
Of course the story has a romance, but the reader must build for himself the happy ending which the author fails to include. The faith of Lou Deering in her voyeur football ladder is one of the most heartfelt starved girls who have been deprived of the society of young people of their own age. The affection of Angie for his barb father is rather overbred, for here in Kansas a son of a starving man against the tyranny of farm labor, rarely returns for a second term.
Lynn Montessin has written a "Main Street" of the corn belt, but he is a much sympathetic observer then is the author of "Main Street." The author honestly enough to be inspired, in spite of the rather unkempt writing which the author permits himself at times.
