WHAT IS A UNIVERSITY?
"The university is in not a retail store dealing in facts; the university is a temporary retreat from the world where young men and young women may breathe the air of freedom and achieve emancipation from the obsolete dogmas, the unworthy loyalty, the irrational inhibitions, the trial conformities, and the cowardly caution that crash and kill the uneducated "mind."-Gloss Fresh, Editor of The Century Magazine.

Miss Gretna Green wonders if a columnist on an agricultural paper needs a strong horn sense of humor.
LACK OF INFORMATION
The Kansas City Kansan criticize our plea that the faculty wear cap and gowns at commencement, and bellites our idea of their "spiritual significance." The editor express that his "heart beats more lauior with the pulse of the university faculty."
We call his attention to the fact that it is the business of an editorial writer to be full informed before writing his opinion in the column, even if it is only a joke. This writer lacks very ocularising information.
The added expense in the reason our faculty will not wear caps and gowns at commencement this June.
This majority was not obtained. Why? Not because the faculty was against the principle of wearing caps and gowns. But, instead at the last session of our state legislature that body of lawmakers did not find it expedient to vote a salary increase for the faculty. Professors' salaries at the University are now 21 per cent lower than those paid by neighboring states.
"Navy's Tanks rest at Pearl Harbor While Law Deploys." - Headline. Our experience with the law indicates that the tank will become quite rusty.
HONORS
This is the fashionable time of year to confer honors. A young man's fancy may lightly turn to anorous thoughts, but a young man's brain, particularly a young college man's brain turns to thoughts of new scholastic or activity honors to confer. The paper is full of headlines referring to the "initiation of the following into this or that honorary society," the "granting of a fellowship to this or that man," or the "plucking of the following to the literary society." It is being done.
Strange cough, the same thing is happening on every campus. Elections to honorary societies seem to come as a fitting close to the school year. Unobligatedly, they have a definite place in any University. It speaks well for them that elections are made after students have had a year's opportunity to prove themselves worthy of receiving honors.
Then, perhaps after all, the glories of the spring are conducive to something besides college love matches, far famed in magazine stories. Well, there are lots of sides to Life!
No, Stranger these are not all statues on the campus; some are students.
OUR LATEST CLUB
Now that the Kansan has given publicity to the latest organization on the campus, known as the Never Been KisSED Club for men, we may expect editorial comment from papers throughout the entire country, giving us what is known as the "merry razz."
Perhaps attention will be called to the fact that the club has five members representing three different nations. Few organizations, even such as the League of Nations, have such a proportion of nationalities among their membership.
Or, perhaps our organs of public opinion may speak of the women mentioning likely candidates to the Imperial Lizard. Without giving this serious thought one might assume that this was the case of a disappointed girl; and yet our women at the University are big-hearted when it comes to helping a friend "make" another organization.
No matter what may be said of our "anti-seculation" club it has come for a purpose and we wish it hearty success, and the unified support of all these interested in up-to-date reform.
Bemis Baxter would like to know when Pokes have their wooded wedding anniversary.
JAWING
Someone said once that a women's jawing could break up a happy home. If that is true, what dark futureures Jawing, jawing, jawing—before and from our own institution of learning, are in store for the women graduated after meal, in every class, during every exam, in conversation, someone even ventures to suggest in sleep.
This continual fawning on the part of K. U. women requires skill, endurance, and agility. It requires perseverance and financial backlog. And the ad thing is that they seem to derive so much pleasure from their little...shall we call it outdoor or indoor sport?
The burden of this most emphatic jawning falls upon a great class of people. It is a bit trying on the instructors, and the mere men suffer as well. It is even wearing on the jaws of the young ladies in question. However, a great good comes from this practice prevalent among the fair sex of this University—a great good to a deserving part of our American civilization—the chewing gum manufacturers. We feel that at their next national convention it would be only fitting and proper that they should pay some tribute to "the those noble souls who have brought such prosperity to them". Don't say woman has no place in the world.
The statement that Kansas makes the worst corn in the world is not wry wilt, nor dry wilt, so they may.
HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT?
What if you had an engagement to address a crowd somewhere, and had sacrificed your time, gone to some inconvenience, and put forth considerable effort to prepare a subject, but when you arrived, you found a half-interested audience present, apparently there only because they seemed to have nothing better to do?
Then when your address was under way, what if your listeners, amic lound banging of seats, and rude whispers get up and nonchalantly声誉 out?
You would feel like stopping in the middle of your address and giving up in despair, wouldn't you? Wonder how many conversation speakers have had just that thought?
It is not hard to imagine what your answer to this in. "Give us better speakers and more interesting topics." And fair enough.
But all that is possible is being done to bring good speakers to the campus. Some do not prove satisfactory, but that is not necessarily the fault of those in charge of the convention schedule.
If you know the speaker will not hold your interest, stay away, for almost all speakers prefer a small attentive audience to a large attentive one, part of which walks out during the address. But if for no other reason than common courtesy, show consideration to the speakers. He may not meet with your approval, but undoubtedly there are some who are interested in his message.
In England you go to the university to develop yourself, while in America you go to the university to distinguish yourself. So says William Robinson in a recent issue of "The New Student."
"SO?"
Our limited knowledge of English universities makes the subject quite out of the question for a mid-winter college student to comment upon it, and at the same time the English gentlemen might be at a little handcap in giving a fair judgment of the American situation. True there are students in American colleges who attend for the paltry purpose of distinguishing themselves. But the sweeping statement that American students go to the university for that purpose alone is equally false. Maybe some of them don't take quite so much interest in rowing, and playing cricket, hardball or drinking ten, as do the English brethren. You might call this self development.
When a ball is measured it is generally as broad as it is long. There are probably as many students in English universities who go to distinguish themselves as there are in universities of equal rank in America, And Mr. Robinson may assure himself that there are a few students in America who go to college to develop themselves. If you don't believe that witness our "Six Foot Line." Football helps a little.
TOMORROW
"Safety First for France."—Headline. What has happened to Germany now?
Less than half a century ago the world was autoloaded to find itself riding cheat in the "Red Devil," as the first automobiles were called. Then the electric light, one of the seven wonders of the world, appeared. Before these inventions the steam boat, the telephone, the sewing machine, and the printing press caused their onlookers to marvel.
In recent years we have had developments of communication apparatus from the wireless to the radio. And then, just last week experiments conducted by the Radio Corporation of America proved the ability of transmitting photographs by radio for great distances in rapid time. Photographs were transmitted from Honolulu to New York in 20 minutes. The reproductions were accurate and clear. Even the three action pictures of the army and navy conducting a sham battle near the Island were accurate. And to think that pictures, the visual likeness of people, can travel over 5,000 miles in less than 20 minutes! "What next?" we ask the artists.
100%
THE LETTER
Perhaps in a few years we will sit comfortably in our own living rooms and watch a play or an opera on the screen of our "radio-photograph" machine. We will listen to the words and sounds uttered by the players on the screen. Or who knows but that we may have to be careful last someone in another state will tune in on our thoughts and cause them to be broadcast at large? What will tomorrow bring forth for us to marvel it?
THIS SUMMER

Soft sunlight penetrates the door
And anyone are while I read my story.
The deep-carved sent against the wall,
From men who sell mad clothes to wear.
I look again and think perchance
You have named my another name:

Soft sunlight penetrates the door
(you have cooped my cereal glaze;
you have not come. The sunny glare
rows pate; I slowly climbs the attir.
I look again and think perchance
You have occupied my careless glances;
Of friendly serif and other letters there
From men who sell mud clothes to wear.

HOUSE-MOTHERS:
The Inquiring Reporter
--we ought to have two such days.
Dorothy Taylor; That would be gorgeous but I can't imagine the College students all trying to go on a bike together. They would stammer the country.
Question: What do you think of the idea of having one day a year set aside as a holiday for the students of the College?
Miss Alice Robe, of the class of '96, a well known writer, will spend the week-end with Mrs. A. D. Hammond and Mr. John Robe's home is in New York City.

Albert Peterson: I refuse to answer!
Mary Nell Hamilton: I'm in favor of any time when we can have eats, Chick Slawson: I think it would be more practical if they would have meals rather than in the different departments rather than in the College as a whole.
College students certainly have to be tolerant and broadminded. In an especially brilliant recitation the professor remarked: "New. what were you saying? Did anybody get point? I can't come to follow."
Mary Engle: That's a fine idea The College is the largest of all the schools in the University and surely should have such a day if the others
Jayhawks Flown
Ray Wright: It's a wonderful idea but there are so many students in the College that such a thing would be impractical.
Frank Phelps: Sure I'm in favor of it.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Rosie Richards: That would be dandy if it would unite the students of the College and make *a* better spirit.
Jack Terrell: That's a darned good idea!
LEE GREGG, Secretary.
Loon Seelig: Great stuff! I think we ought to have two such days.

The two engineers who attempted a heroic rescue of two girls out of two feet of mud in the Kaw are now taking swimming lessons.
GERTRUDE PEARSON, Secretary.
Fast Workers
The editor gets lots of copy for this column but the stories are all too "plain." But as one of our fair friends wrote, "The 'Being is certainly painful.'"
One professor on the Hill likes to glorify himself. After a lecture in which he had expounded at great length about his extensive research work one girl remarked: "I hate to be his wife, because I would be served 'T for breakfast,' 'ME' for lunch and 'MYSELF' for dinner."
visited.
Worth a Story, But Not True
In the class of a Miss XYZ, who taught for twenty years the following took place during the lecture:
She—Ooh, yes, Johnny has his pin.
Hue—Sus is engaged; does she
ive her ring?
a Balanced Meal
Third (who had overheard only bits of the plot)—very excitedly: Who has an engagement ring? Miss XYZ?
Student Discipline
A Newpaper Administration class was discussing the cutting of paper for a job. One pared memo to the paper. "I understand this cutting up here."

No child is too young, no man too old to roar with laughter at the delightful antie of the inimitable Syd Chaplin and his staff of fun provokers, in the most wholesome and humorous comedy ever known to the stage or adapted to the screen.
This is no ordinary comedy. Here is farce of the highest order with its scintillating humor magnified by its transference to the screen.
