Entered as second-class mail matter. Soon returned to the United States, where he served, Kansas, under the act of March 24, 1956, and was placed in prison for six weeks and on Sunday morning by students in Chicago to attend a summer course at Kansas, from the Province of Iowa.
A COMMUNITY THEATER
Almost simultaneously with the campaign on the Hill for a campus theater comes the announcement from the University of Missouri that a new community theatre has been organized there. The Missouri Workshop and the Dramatic Arts club, university organizations, have indorsed the project and a university student is director. Their first play, "Lilium," will be given early in December.
MONDAY, NOVEMBER 9,1925
At Prof. Allan Crafton's reading of "The Terrible Mystery," yesterday afternoon, the central Administration auditorium was filled almost to capacity. This is significant of what University students and faculty want in the way of entertainment. It shows that a large number of them wants something better than they are able to get at the local theaters.
EMISSARIES FROM K. U.
Evidently the students and people of Columbia know what they want, and they have found a way to get it.
EMISSARIES FROM K. U.
Chancellor Samuel Avery of the University of Nebraska praises the spirit of K. U. rooters in a letter to Chancellor Lindley. More than that, he says that he has heard nothing which could be taken as the slightest breach of good conduct during their stay at Lincoln.
In words of one syllable, we be becoming true sportsmen here at K. U—sportspersons enough to be courteous to our hosts when we go visiting, sportsmen enough to take defeat like men and not slander our conquerors, and sportspersons enough to avoid misconduct which is too often considered "smart" by students when they take a trip away from their home campus.
A courteous and gravelful thought inspired the Jay James to send flowers to Chancellor and Mrs. Avery at the game. The flowers were labeled, "From the University of Kansas," and the Nebraska chancellor says that he was deeply touched at the thought which was behind the gift. The Jay James did not take any credit for the gift, and let it be thought that they were merely instruments for the whole University.
Chancellor Avery has known our rooters for a good many years, and he says that he appreciates the growing spirit of friendliness in the rivalry which exists between the two neighboring state universities. In all things we are striving for the same goal, and the two schools are traveling on parallel roads which lie close together, and let it be hoped that through the coming years our rivalry will manifest itself in a friendly spirit of emulation, rather than in the spirit of antagonism which has been known to exist in the past.
Such representation of the University in its relations with "Other Hills" is indeed a fine thing, and the women are a credit to their school and themselves, and are upholding their right to take a place among the most representative of organizations on the Hill.
Let us, as men and women of the University of Kannas, ever bear in mind that to each one of us is given the care of the honor of our Alma Mater, and that our responsibility is not ended when we shout at rallies and come out for games, but that these things are the unimportant beginnings of the loyalty which should be reflected in our conduct in the class room, on the campus, and
when we are away from the Hill among people who look upon as a representative University students.
WHAT ABOUT CONVERSA-
TION?
TION?
This is the age of loudspeakers. You spend your time standing on one foot listening to some hull tell how good he is, and what she said when I did her that, et cetera and even ad infinitum. That is the modern conception of entertaining conversation. We have plenty to say, of course we do. We are "some kadders." We are skillful at it and a great many are better at baby talk than the babies themselves. But all this is superficial, a pretense, a bluff, more or less of a defense mechanism. We seldom talk of the things dear to our hearts. Compare with the early days in England. The citizens gathered daily in the coffee shops for more than idle gossip. Not all could read even the maven reader of the day, so someone read it aloud. Then came discussions of the current questions, literature, art, and what not.
Is it lack of interest that has caused this retrogression? Is it lack of ambition or lack of knowledge? Is it the change of educational methods? Theoretically they have advanced in reasoning, understanding and efficiency.
Often attempts are made by different groups of the present generation to foster the spirit of discussion. The series of forums now being held, the women's forum, and several of the different Y, M, C, A. meetings are for this purpose. The results are discouraging exegge to the naturally optimistic few. Only a small minority of the students attend. The others are too busy. A picture show, or maybe a dance, or an automobile ride—there is no time to learn what the world is doing and what it means.
A MUD MUDDLE
Kansas is in the mud and everyone knows it. It is also in a muddle about what to do, but few realize the seriousness of the situation. For years Kansas has laughed about the mud hole of Missouri, but now that Missouri is laughing at Kansas, the situation ceases to be funny.
Last week the Kansas City Star devoted slightly over a column of front page space to the road conditions of Kansas with apparently no reason for the outburst than a desire to increase the value of Missouri's new cross state highway by stimulating the building of a similar highway in Kansas. If Kansas builds such a road, Missouri benefits; but, likewise, Kansas benefits from Missouri's new road. Our neighbor isn't sling more mud into Kansas, but realizes that we already have enough and is anxious to see us out of the verdict.
The Inquiring Reporter
It is time to wake up. Hard roads are necessary for the posturity of the state. Already there has been some agitation for routing a transcontinental highway through Oklahoma. This would leave Kansas out entirely, and the loss would be incalculable.
If the people of Kansas want good roads, they can have them; and thus the posterity of the state can be secured. If they do not, they will see the state become the laughing stock of the nation and their own welfare endangered.
Tourist trade is profitable even though much of the profit comes from a broader understanding of the state by the nation. But aside from this factor, good roads are a real benefit to every citizen. They provide for cheaper and quicker transportation of farm products to the city, and thus the farmer profits. This, in turn means cheaper commodities for the consumer, which stimulates trade and increases the demand for the goods. Again the 'farmer profits.'
"What shall we do about the theater situation?"
Harold Schmidt, c28: "We ought to do something about it. It's terrible.
Leland McFarland, c?7; "I'm in favor of going to the Patee."

Book Notes
"The Great Pandalofo," by William J. Locke; Dodd, Mead & Co., New York.
In "The Great Pantofoil," William J. Locke again gives his readers the joyous atmosphere and drama of a story set in love in the years preceding the war. The story is of a genius who is also a great gogit, who fails in love with a beautiful, lovable woman.
Hendrick W. Van Loon is still writing history, and writing it interestingly. "Tolerance," his latest work, history of the world's great marriages.
The tale tells swiftly, and coming from an author who knows how to tell a story and tell it well, the result is certain to prove interesting reading.
William Cullen Bryant was born 121 years ago he had Tuesday. We remember him best for his immortal poem of sorrow, "Thanatopsia."
