American films are penetrating into darkest Africa. Now we think the savages there will go back to their grass huts and be civilized.
FOURTEEN MORE
There are 263 more shopping days till Christmas, and in about 190 days, shopkeepers will begin to keep their shops open late into the night and shopped in on Willy's new hobby box and Catherine's new wrist watch will rush from store to store with preoccupied expressions. But an other event is even nearer.
There are 14 school days until examinations. Yet at 10 oclock every evening the library will close just as it did at the beginning of the semester when minds and hearts were unburdened. Still, worried students will be shipping for knowledge frantically. Why shouldn't the source of knowledge supply keep a little later hours for students before the bitter end comes?
It makes little difference that the moon is full. Students are turning resolute backs to the glories of the midnight and serious faces to the deeds of the library. All because their time is limited.
Just 14 more knowledge shopping days till exams.
DARING TO BE DIFFERENT
A student who happens to be good in algebra tried recently to find out which a certain Mr. X, was in a story. He failed in his first attempt.
K. U. students with viewpoints differing from the usual beliefs, desires and modes of thinking are called radicals. Students who appear religious are called fanatics; students who criticize religious institutions are termed agnostics. Students who are unfriendly are referred to as snobs; those who wear out-of-style clothing are backwoody; those who act creatively are odd. But those who conform with the crowd in every detail are never mentioned or heard of.
Public opinion and criticism are strong restraints. Few people dare to be different. Yet those who break away from customs and convention become leaders. They may be laughing stocks for a while, but soon their thinking and actions gain followers.
Radical thinking and different viewpoints are common in colleges. It should be so. Students are meeting and discussing the problems of life; they are wide awake to the world and its needs; they are reacting to life. There is no better place, time or opportunity than college for questioning religious institutions, social institutions, or governmental organizations.
nouncels, families, namesies, snobs,
queer ducks, mosshops, whatever
students may be called, they have
dared to be different. It is a com-
mendable quality. What an uninter-
esting, dull old world this would be,
if all thought, dressed, talked and
acted alike.
Among the model traffic regulations which our national congress is experimenting with at Washington, it is provided that automobiles shall travel at least 22 miles an hour on some streets and 35 miles an hour on the main thoroughfares. Which shows that as regards speed our campus motorists are just one jump ahead of the rest of the nation.
OUR AMBASSADOR TO ENGLAND
Our new ambassador to England should be commended upon the admirable manner in which he emphasized America's policy abroad in an address before the Pilgrim's Society at London, Monday night.
Ambassador Alanon B. Houghton made it very clear that if active American interest in Europe is to be developed and confirmed, good faith and a real desire for peace are absolutely necessary on the part of European nations. In its editorial comment upon the address the London Times remarks: "It is, moreover, in accordance with the instructive trend of British opinion."
It is generally conceded by London newspapers that the ambassador's speech was wise and one to which exception can not be taken. He was very careful to announce that he was not thinking of any one nation. Although Mr. Houghton spoke on his own responsibility President Coolidge is pleased with the address and hopes that the ambassador's interpretation of the attitude toward Europe will be helpful to European statesmen and peoples.
Indeed, our new ambassador to England has the hearty support of his fellow countrymen.

FAREWELL
Many years ago, Minnie Maddern Ficke played in Kansas City. The town turned out practically en muse to see and hear her, for it was rumored that she was making her farewell performance. Monday night Kansas City again turned out to see Mrs. Ficke. It was again rumored that she was making her farewell performance. Kansas City will turn all out week, lost it miss the last chance to see the truly great actress of America.
It is difficult to say farewell in almost any circumstances. When one is called the greatest actress in a country, it is doubly hard. It is almost impossible to sever relations with a public which has bound its admiration with sentiment and tradition.
This is the day of realistic Times Square slang in dream. But it is also the day of certain permanent dramas which have lived for many, many years and which will continue to live for many, many years. This is the age of bobbed haired blondes who recite their wrongs in hoarse voices before skillfully draped curtains. But it is also the day of true art which always has and always will make great characters live on the stage.
So then, it is hard to say farewell to an actress whose career has been a chapter in the story of the highest drama of this country. It would be a real privilege to welcome Mrs. Fiske again.

The expedition which will attempt to reach the North Pole led by Capt. Roald Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth, leaves Kings Bay, Spitzergen, today.
NEW EXPLORATIONS
What a world of romance and adventure that voyage promises. The North Pole still carries a rather vague meaning to most of us. It stands for something far away and unknown.
The explorers will go in two ship as far as possible and then "hop off" in airplanes to complete the journey. One solidmind thinks of this age as one exploration, but here is a party of men who are leaving to explore a country as mysterious and of which as little is known, as American before the voyages of several hundred years ago. A party under Peery actually reached the north pole once before, but still we know practically nothing about the land which he explored. But now, with the airplane at our command, chances for obtaining knowledge about both the Artic and Antarctic region are increased materially, and another age of exploration looms ahead of us.

Should a university resort to high pressure methods in getting students to sign pledges for funds?
The Inquiring Reporter
George L. Carey, c25, High pressure methods are all right in salesmanship, but it is a bad idea to use them if the offer that should be给予 as free gift.
Earl Linholm, c25. No, because the giving of funds should be left up to the individual.
Margorie Chandler, fa25. No, most people would sign almost anything to get rid of the cavanzer, methods should not be used.
Steve 'Merrill,' c25, Emphatically no, because high pressure methods work on a person's emotions and not on his reasons.
Amedeco Cole, c27, No, for in most causes the cause does not justify the means.
Bill Lee, m 28, No, because all students are not in circumstances to contribute to all causes, and then no students should be compelled to donate to most causes so it should be Max Frederick, c 28, No, because it should be compelled to donate to most causes if it should be left to the individual.

Plain Tales From the Hill
An Old Trick
A fellow who had a Kappa date for 8:30 last Saturday evening slept until 10 o'clock. We wonder what his stock is selling for now?
One member of this year's baseball team said that he was playing on the team this year because he thought he could find enough stray towels in the camp to keep him supplied on a prolonged camping trip this summer.
A professor had not given the grade that a certain ambitious student thought she ought to have. She was vehemently denouncing him. "I think it's perfectly awful," she said, and viciously stunned her foot. The dainty pumu which she wore, flew into the middle of the street. The crowd immediately rescued the slipper from gaudit the ornash of the noon-hour traffic and returned it to the owner who stood balanced on one foot.
