FORREST ALLEN
THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1925
The length of a life in years does not necessarily measure its usefulness. If that life has been a worthy one its influence will live after it. The parents of young Forrest Allen may well be proud of having brought him into the world.
He inherited his father's ideals and loves of fair play. He played the game with his whole bond, but always cleanly, and he was always considerate of the feelings of others. He was a real boy, but he was at the same time a serious student and stood high in his classes in the matter of grades. He was gentle and protective with younger children, and was trusted by his parents and his teachers.
It is true that his life was short, but his 14 years were useful and fine. His manliness and high ideals have made him loved by his school mate in the Lawrence high school and have set an example of clean and secluded and happy living which will mean better and fuller lives for theme. His memory will go with them through the years as one of the finest induces of their childhood.
"TOO BUSY TO THINE"
"The students of Japan represent the intelligence of their country," said Charles F. Scott, editor of the Iola Register in a convention talk a few days ago.
To be the intelligent of one's country surely means that the student symbolizes the alert, broad-minded, advancing thinkers and promoters of the entire group, a group that is able to see beyond the obvious, and appreciate the new problem that arises for them to solve.
The university's student today is running the race of life at a terrific speed, taking all the short cuts and not feeding advice. Unless this rate is cut, and time taken to think, we American students will never arrive at this intelligent stage of advancement.
Probably the most outstanding obstacle that confronts the American student in his thinking is too many unimportant activities. It was found that upon examining a University woman's diary for a typical school day that she was going from 8 a.m. in the morning until 10 p.m. and that in that time she had not taken time to read the paper, write a letter home, or study for the next day's classes. Such a student cannot do justice to his studies, let alone any 'rational thinking' on the problem of the day.
Much time is spent in worthwhile activities, yes, but where is the student to get in any school work. Very little time is given to books, to reading magazines, conversations or discussion groups, or even reading the daily newspaper. Too tired to read or talk is the excuse—social duties come first. And so go one, day brings forth another, and the same routine follows. Too bury to read, too tinker to think. When each day arrives it is the same old story, with a new activity added or another party to attend.
Another phase needs consideration—that is the purely lazy and indolent person who hangs around the 'imu', drinks with all his friends and is getting a 'kick' off life, so he imagines. His sort of little place in life.
the world, and he might as well step out of line.
The small per cent that is trying to develop this 'intelligentia' get ridiculed for many of their attempts to stimulate growth in thinkong, and have only a few followers; yet they are the leaders and will be ranked so before many years.
"Rational thinking" must be developed in America or foreign countries will have little regard for our youth. It is time that more colleges and universities were taking the stand that the Darwinth students advocate and rise to the plane where American students belong.
We believe n "harmony plan" is needed for the use of some of the re serve books in the library.
POSTERS
Gay, decorative posters with petitions in fuzzy dresses; pompoms dignified posters with direct lettering and bizarre, unconventional designs; many colored, futuristic posters with a suggestion of the exotic in their announcements; posters of every color, every style, every purpose. From laubitin boards, lamp posts and stairways they flush their messages, with all the benevolence and patience of an old town crier. But posters, like other fragments of beauty on the campus, are often short lived. Many students have a propensity for collecting them to decorate their rooms; others with a perverted sense of humor revel in removing them to examine the owners. A particularly attractive poster may half a day, if fortune smiles on it; more often it will be removed before the end of the year. Even the least promising announcement can seriously hope to remain posted until the event it heralds come to pass. Fate may decide that it will find a place among many fellow posters on the stained walls of a habitat its a bleak, muddy grit where its eibors are faded and its words forever silenced. Very rarely will its purpose find fulfillment.
To be sure, posters make a room more attractive; and' of course we pay a carcetaker to remove rubbish from the gutters. It is even possible that a colorful placard whose words would have had significance for every person on the Hill can render even greater service by shining bravely from the walls of one lone student. At any rate, a good many lone students seem to think so.
Campus Opinion
To the Kansam:
To the Kansan:
There is not one side to the question of world peace, for every rightful power has its own subject. But as to how peace may be brought about a many sided subject, the problem is that in the Court has been established all that is necessary to secure peace is for the United States to join the court. Some nations have also joined the League of Nations with full rights and obligations. There are those who see only the opportunity to only solution to the problems of this troubled world. Then there are others who would stop war by refusing to join it.
At the Concert
It is clearly evident that we are getting only one side of the question. If we are to confine our reasoning to this question, we must by these speakers we are at a loss to know why one or more of the proposed plans for pennants have not been adopted.
From time to time able speakers from the United States benefit of their views. They have told us a great deal about the "O'Bullaway experience," and just recently we had a conference with them, which benefited us.
who entertain the idea that world peace will never dawn are just as far in error as those who would fear the dark, greatly illuminating the horizon. The peace-at-any-price cry does not necessarily evangelize the gospel of the brothers.
Do Dobb Leaning
Evidently there is another side to this important question. In fairness to the students of the University and the people of this community cannot be responsible for teaching someone responsible to obtain speakers qualified to present the other side?
"Loyalty."
Music lovers left Percy Granger's recital in Robinson auditorium Wednesday evening with the feeling that they had heard an artist of the highest order. Mr. Granger is essentially the composer; in abstract selections, like Bach's "Partita No. 1," one felt that he merely reproduced.

Batin in the splendor and spirit of his interpretation of such compositions as Brahma's "Somata in F Minor" and Chopin's "Poemale in A Flat Major," Granger the pianist was fully revealed.
Breathe and density of style which completely transcribes that of most concert pianists and an acute sensitivity to music made the music new fade almost imperceptibly into the infinite, and again swollen into vol-
one and strength that compressed the very air into sound.
The third group of the program was most popular with the audience. Albenza's "Telaan," a wild, gym number's book, was popular among warship supporters. Extreme outer agility, pedaling of great accuracy, a magnificence of sympathy and interpretation made the closing group the most ample part of the program, most admirable part of the program.
