DOWN WITH PEP!
We have on the Hill an element who are consistently tiring away one by one our traditions and the things that go to make up school spirit and at the same time they are bewailing the fact that we have so little school spirit. The latest tradition to be attacked is Hobo day; about the only democratic pep raiser that we have left.
There are two grounds for this movement: First, that it is too much trouble to get the necessary costume ready, and second, that if we have Hobo day before the Missouri game all the pop will be gone when the big show takes place. These seem to be the only bases for the agitation.
The first question almost needs no discussion. Anyone who is so lacking in pep that he will not take the necessary time to tear a few holes in the cost of last year's pants, put his coat on backwards and amuse a little soot from the exhaust pipe on his face, isn't worthy to see the team play anyway and the woman who fears the effect of hobs garb on her feminine pulchevitude must be very short on this desirable feminine quality.
So pop must be conserved. There is just so much pop and when it is expended there will be none left for the game. This is indeed a new theory and one worthy of an Einstein. It is indeed illuminating to know that pop is like this month's allowance easily spent. If pop in the University is at such a low ebb that it will not stand the strain of Hobo day preceding the game, why keep up the pretence of having any spirit at all?
Hobo day, as it was celebrated two years ago and to a great extent last year has done more to instill a feeling of real democracy and school spirit than all the top弧s里斯 that the one held on Mount Ararat. It is one tradition that should live and live forever. Let's get away from this hedging the question of having it this year. If some one is against it let him come out and say no but instead of laying the blame on another and so on ad infinitum. Let's have the facts. Do we or don't we have Hobo day and if not why?
The prediction that auto licenses are to be reduced comes just in time to prevent a lot of campus care from being traded in on a 1926 tag.
POLITICS AND THINKING
It has often been asked what students can do to help the political situation today. Well, one of the greatest things they can do today is to learn to think for themselves. They are given plenty of opportunity in the universities and colleges, but the trouble is that not enough of them take advantage of it.
The college student has just reached the point of adulthood. College students are no longer children. They are called men and women—not boys and girls. Being men and women with the full responsibility of such status, they owe it to society to take a little time off every day for rational thinking, as suggested by the Ohio State Lantern.
So many men and women vote a certain way because that was what they learned as children. But we have all kinds of crazy ideas that we learned as children and believe implicitly now because we have never thought them over. Many of these beliefs came from older persons, who knew more about what they were talking about than they did about the
certain dimension—but not much more. These "grown-ups" who tell children all about things about which they really know nothing themselves are, and have always been, one of the biggest obstacles to advancement.
We have accepted many of these childhood beliefs so long that they have become a part of our philosophy of life, while if we thought them over we should toss many of them into a tran cush. Without thinking them over, we just go on accepting them. The best rule to follow is to seek the truth always and not swallow everything. Psychology tells us that accepting statements without thinking is being hypnotized. Who wants to be hypnotized all his life?
So it is with statistics. We should think things out for themselves. We move minds of our own. Let us accept statements of politicians and anyone else cum gran salo. Then, as Socrates said, "Let us reason together."
HERE IS OUR CHANCE
College students in the United States are not the great influence in national and world affairs that they are in the other countries of the world. American students great important affairs with *paphy* and a sort of smug contempt. Many of them do not care enough to exercise their right to vote.
At last progressive students have recognized the need for more active participation on the part of college students in America, as well abroad with the result that a poll of the colleges of the United States on the subject of the World Court is to be taken early in December before Congress decides the advisability of entering the world court on Dec. 17. It is generally recognized that the attitude of congress on the court will depend almost entirely on the sentiment shown by the voters of the nation. The students are one of the largest elements of the voting population as well as the coming leaders. This is our chance to claim our bithought of power.
The Kauai with the co-operation of other student organizations is sponsoring the movement. Material on the subject will soon begin appearing in the columns discussing the form of balloting and the four plans. The results will show whether or not Kauai is again to take its customary place as a leader in progress and thought.
A national convention to discuss the question among University delegates is to be held at Princeton, Dec. 11 and 12. The University of Kansas should be represented at this convention and can be if the student body is sufficiently interested to see that it is done. If it were an athletic meeting the sending of a delegate would be a matter of course. Why not send a delegate to a meeting much more important than any one concerned with athletics could possibly be?
A report of experimental work as carried out with a group of chemistry students at the University of Nebraska by Dr. Winnifred F. Hydne, professor of psychology, was published recently in the Journal of Applied Psychology.
On Other Hill
Both the undergraduate body and the faculty of Yale voted against compulsory chapel services. The student vote stood 1,047 against and 241 for compulsory attendance, while the faculty stood 65 against and 18 for co-convulsion.
The Ohio State University plans to build three dormitories for women, naming each for the president of the university, William Oxley Thompson. So far Oxley hall is the only one completed.
Alphonse Taft hall, the newest building at the law college of the University of Cincinnati, was dedicated October 27. William Howard Hewlett, the United States supreme court, delivered the delivery address.
A three-day centennial celebration of Kappa Alpha society and of the birth of the fraternity system, as it took place in 6-8 at Union College.

Clark, John, in Stewart Edward White (University of Michigan), Roger Marshall, young, wealth, and unmatterly bored with life, is led to consult X. Anagasnai, a so-called "healer of souls." The two reach an agreement whereby the former continues to be under the hands of the physician for a period of eight months. If he is still uncurled at the end of that time, Marshall agrees to pay Anagasnai a sum of $10,000 but if the care is successful Marshall is asked to ask for an remuneration.
Wives, by Camaliel Bradford.
Marshall is taken aboard a small cabin cruiser, the "Kittiwake," and a voyage of adventure along the islands off the island of Vancouver begins. Rum-running and a desperate race with a revenue officer, fishing for enormous salmon, and participation in an Indian jesus-machine podachat family affair on the coast with the interest he feels in Botany, the young and pugnant friend of X. Anaxagoras, who accompanies them on the cruise.
Stewart Edward White has a particularly delightful but rather subtle humor which is especially evident in this story of adventure in the out-of-doors. The reader will find that there is never a dill moment when the author deals with those phases of the story which deal with this aspect.
