Graduated from Yale University, and on Sunday morning by students in the university library, from the vice president's office of Yale University, from the Papers of the University of Virginia. FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1925 WELCOME Again the University has as its guests the editors and business managers of high school newspapers throughout the state. This annual conference is more than a departmental affair, it is an event the success of which the whole school must be responsible. Moreover, we must so conduct ourselves that these visitors will carry away the most desirable impressions of our institution. Many of them are unstudied seniors and, as such, will be carefully observing and weighing the merits of K. U., as shown through the actions of those students with whom they come in contact. But whatever may be the conclusions of these visitors, let us remember that it is our duty to show them what the real Kansas spirit and ideals are, as typified in the members of one of her great state institutions. WHICH IS RIGHT? To the high school visitor, the University opens its doors. For the short time that he is here, each delegate and supervisor is to make himself completely at home. The recent cut in price of fare of the Yellow and Green bin line means more than an extra ride or two to Kansas City. There is a problem behind it which deserves attention. The Interstate Bus Line is operating under the license of the State Utility Commission, as is necessary in the state. When the Yellow and Green Bus line applied for the same authorization, it was refused on the ground that they were not a necessary public utility, there being the contention that the railroads and the Interstate line could handle the trafic. The Yellow and Green company threw the matter into court and in the mean time continued operations. The recent cut appears to be merely another case of underbidding competition. The question that at once comes up, however, is that of the ethics of underbidding a state authorized and legalized business by a firm which is in operation against state control. But that is not the only question. The other is this. Is it ethical to refuse one company the rights of operation when the one existing line is hard pressed to handle the traffic? The interstate line for the last few months has been almost unable to carry the traffic in spite of limits, extra cars and overflow cars. Especially on Sunday night there is nothing unusual in having to wait for the second or third bus to get back from Kansas City, then often being compelled to sit on camp chairs in the aisle. The question is one that deserves intelligent consideration. FORENSICS Few students realize the significance of forensic eloquence, especially in regard to life after one is graduated from college. Yet, few orators, public speakers, or debaters are ever developed at college. Usually, even conversation is dull and uninteresting among, most university and college persons, and others as well. Nearly everyone, particularly college students, is called upon to give a speech at some time in his life, and yet, some of the attempts that we are forced to witness from time to time are very appalling. Successful speaking before an audience does not depend largely upon any "silver tongued" oratory, but comes rather, through the development of a few faculties that every individual possesses. This year under the direction of Prof. E. C. Buchler a concerted attempt is being made at the University to raise forensics to a higher plane. The finals for the student problem speaking contest are to be held Tuesday night in Fraser chapel. A large number of students should attend this, even though they are not interested in the contest. Debates, interclass and interdepartmental speaking contacts, are to be given throughout the year, so let us, an university students take an active part in these affairs, or at least give the contestants inspiration by our presence. The American flyers in Morocco say they were never ordered by the French to bomb towns. No one can cause them of not having any initiative. AN ARISTOCRACY OF LEARNING The argument is advanced by some that the college of today should be an aristocracy of learning; that it should become more exclusive. Others say that the college is already developing this exclusiveness through the high standards of scholarship that make it fall but impossible for all but those with "superior intellect" to finish a college course; that the present system should exclude more than it does. At the end of each semester at the University there is an exclosure of students who leave because they have failed to make the minimum* grade requirements. This is true at other schools as well as at Kansas. To the advantage of the selective training des it is a satisfying truth. Notice the students around you and see if the one that fail are really spending a reasonable period each day in class preparation. One professor tells us that more than three-fourths of those who fail do so because they spend most of their time in activities and social life. They neglect daily class preparation and yet reflect to pass. The university expects to serve the people of the state by offering higher educational training, and all who have passed the elementary and secondary schools have recourse to this training, but it is right and just that the university expects a reasonable amount of work on the part of the students. It must exclude those who do not try. If satisfactory results are to be obtained the university must maintain standards. University and college training is optional and only those who really want it should be allowed to remain in school. The relative merits of spicing up whisky with cayenne pepper were being discussed recently in a feature writing class. Arguments pro and na, to whether such a mixture would be "drinkable" waxed furt and furious. Finally, and in a tone which indicator solved, the instructor truss-fixed a front-row co-ed with an abrent: Reward comes for honest effort, and the student must not expect something for nothing. If you term the group that lives up to the scholastic standards of the college of today by sincere work an intellectual aristocracy, then you must call the college an aristocracy of learning. Plain Tales From the Hill Fragrantly encircled in each other's arm two young mom sat in the back row of a local theater—and silent through one of the most stirring piperies on the street, shown Lawrence for many a day. There are the effects of holidays. "And now Miss ___, can one drink whiskey with cayenne pepper in it?" Two men sat in an Economics class room watching the rest of the class dribbling in. A slender girl in a black dress stirred at striped dance into the room. "Looks like a stick of peppermint "Boy! she does eat," chimed in the other, "I know—I took her down to Wiedemann's last night." candy," observed one, "almost good enough to eat." Scrambled eggs and brains were on the Jayhawk cafe menu, neverless one of the waiters jumped when a woman yelled "Hey! - You got any bras?" First Freshman: "That professor is in a class by himself." Second Freshman: "How come?!" First freshman: "He was ten minutes late." An instructor was trying to convince a logic student that sometimes the heart quiets beating, but the person was not necessarily dead. The skeptic stopped and asked, "Why do you so, but when the heart quiets beating plans for a funeral are begun." On Other Hills An association of University of Oklahoma dads was formed last Saturday morning in the University of Oklahoma auditorium. A constitution and by-laws were adopted and formal agreements were reached with who is father, guardian or supporter of a student in the university is eligible to membership. On Nov. 5, President Thompson, of the Ohio State University celebrated his seventh birthday. All classes were dismissed and the students joined in a party in the president's honor. The military department at the University of Nebraska will put on a Military Carnival next Saturday, Nov. 14. Prizes will be awarded for the best wild west costumes and a carnival queen will be elected. All boarding houses, dormitories, and college restaurants at Ohio Wesleyan will serve mush and milk every Thursday noon. The money saved will be given to the Ohio Wesleyan development fund of $800,000. Freshmen in the agronomy department of Oklahoma A. & M. were excused from all classes recently in order that they might pick cotton on the school agronomy farm. Students relied on them to pick cotton, picking. This situation was brought about through the difficulty in securing cotton pickers. Hugh Antoine d'Arcy, author of the room, "The Face on the Floor," died of heart disease in New York, Nov. 11, at the age of 82. d'Arcy wrote "The Face on the Floor" was the most famous, being translated into many languages.
