I. TUESDAY, DECEMBER 2, 1924 Thanksgiving, along with Memorial day and other social-social annuities, is coming to be a day of Thanksgiving for a football victory. If it chances that the team is defended, there is nothing left for which the student can be thankful. Dr. Forrest C. Alley is trying to make arrangement; whereby the annual Missouri-Kansas game will be held on the Saturday preceding Thanksgiving day. Aside from the supposedly serious character of the holiday, there are several good reinforcers. and why this change should be made. When the teacher wishes to spend the Thanksgiving day, the class becomes that day, with the exception of Christmas, in the especially "home" holiday; and nearly for the more practical reason that a student coming home a day late often upstairs the place of his family. From the point of the players themselves the change would be a benefit, for they would then be out of training during the holiday. The greatest opposition to the change comes from the alumni who say they cannot see the game if it is played on Saturday. This barely means reasons, however, for in any case the person living further away than Kansas City must take more than one day away from work. The proposed change, would be beneficial to the students of both schools and would work not particularly hardship on the alumni, and we, as students of the University of Kansas ought to support Doctor Allen in his stand and to appreciate the effect he is making. He deserves our thanks. Just when there's a chance the American people can sit down quietly and figure out their own troubles along came another uprising in Te Rope. Those people ought to let us have our front ranges to ourselves once in a while. LIFE VS. DEATH Another life was erupted on Saturday by an intolerated driver, who the accident brought to the account of our problem of careless drivers closer home, for the woman who was killed was a resident of Lawrence. Is the great good that the automobile renders to the world $t$ be outweighed by the harm caused to drunken, foolish, careless driver? To the friends of victims of such driving, the good of the automobile can be seriously doubted. The number that misses the privileges of the automobile is tremendous, and they leave in their wake thousands of maimed, crushed and injured victims—they are synonymous with death and scorpion. It's rather hard on the footstall and weary traveller to travel in Lawrence at a late hour and find no taxis available. At the end c the recent vocation, two few cars met the last trains that as many as fifteen stents were forced to wait at the station until the street car or other taxi might arrive on the scene. THE PRESENT GENERATION we point with pride to the present generation with its advances in invention, which make the world seem small, its growth of education, and its higher standards of living. Why, fifty years ago automobile and telephone were scarce and only a small number were able to get a college education. Now all these Lifetreats are communic and we have the airplane and radio to take their places in the centre of interest. People are no longer satisfied with three or four years of undergraduate work but are taking graduate degrees, many going to eastern schools or even to Europe for study. This promotion has advanced by leaps and bounds. We. you. people think the things our parents did when they were young are old fashioned and queer. We laugh at the clothes, they wave and can't understand how they ever explored the movies and dances they go to. They would seem decadently pensive and so anew. not let us or to think what we prove, the most precaution. Our parents belong to it, and after all Dad and Mothers are pretty nice. We can't find anyone in the present generation to outfit all their places. The clothes they wear and the things they did ever just as my to date in their day are the thing we do in ours. Our clothes and our parties would have been just as much out of place then we think these are now. As for the inventions and advances of civilisation, t. whom do we owe them but to the preceding generations? What think a fund of knowledge and discovery, what a store of inventions and what a wealth of material they beautified us to work with. The generations before us have made the our advancement. Today our parents are making candidates that we may enjoy educational advantages they didn't have. We over it all to them so we haven't much time to burn. Our job now is to make the best possible use of the rich welfare we have left to us. Anyway, the Cairo-Sudan affair is doing a lot for African geography. THE LAME DUCK SESSION The turn of event of the only one goes in on. Prospects for constructive legislation are at the most no better than they are which congress would enact it. The governor for the executive difficulty on the part of congress during the commencement are choices. The governor which consented this week is not a new city. Its membership is made up of men who were erected at least two years ago. Some of them were defeated in the recent election, and others were not candidate for election. These rejected representatives of the people will have no incentive to cut through any legislation. They neither let us trust, that they are no longer the representatives of the citizen of the nation. Why should they worry about tax reduction measures, from legislation or any of the other important legislative measures that concern much deal with? For more important to these "lane decals" is the matter of getting a Jab, picking the two political clauses that are open to them, or setting the old political tend. At the present time there are regulations that this defect in the American legislative system will be removed. The reason he already adopted a resolution proposing an amendment to the constitution which would terminate the service ofLocation and reposecantatives when they failed of re-election, the removal of the "dame dure" desiacal from our legislative calendar would be but another means of providing for more specifiy and efficient legislation.

CAMPUS OPINION --tion is thrown aside with no indication to me of its having been read, reef. I want to see my mistakes and successes. In the last nine weeks I have spent some fifty hours, by mild count, in bidding the fires of my instructor. Should any of them chance to read this, they would raise their eyebrows over so slightly and insquire in academic language "How come? I build my own trees?" Of course you do, but I contribute to the materials with which you build them. I am tired of writing for the waste boxes. Of coffees, when I throw my own efforts into the fire, I do not want to be burned up, but I am forgotten, but when the fruit of my Professor Wilcox will be in the Classical Museum, 208 Fraser hall, from 10 to 11:30 Wednesday, Dec. 5, and lecture on the objects on exhibition of antiquities.

PAY ROLL: In the last nine weeks I have written about twenty thousand words, representing at least fifty hours of work, which have been thrown into my head. I expect to expect that my time and for her shall be rewarded and my papers returned daily lately and commented upon. Have I not as much right as have my instructors to know the details of the writing, at least from their viewpoint? Why I have spent hours in writing a paper I think I am not doing too much when I expect the instructor to read it and indicate where I have erred. If they do not, have I really been taught anything? True. I have earned in experience, but I can get better with practice way of learning. If I do not know where I have failed, how am I correct my mistakes? Now, having relieved myself of these remarks, I shall sit down to my typewriter and write some two thousand move words to kindle the hearth fires of one of my instructors. Wednesday morning. I admit that instructors do not have time to read carefully the thousands of words burdened them. I think they should use us to write more than they can reasonably read and correct in a manner that will be helpful to us. They should pay more attention to grammar, punctuation, and both we and they would profit. Some professors need a course in good sportsmanship. They lack a haziness which is indispensable to real living, and they are entirely one of sympathy with the daily doings of University life. This fact was brought home to the students or Hoboe day. A. Senior. the odd dress and superumbund of spirt. They "pooh, pooh" every thing and grow cross and embroiled on the day of festivity. They call down students for a more smile and grow cimetine in the extremes. Hooldy day is a bizarre time. Under the stimulus of eccentric dress, students for a time, forget their ear and dried wings. Stiff dignity is done away with and a reel spirit of fun and high spirits previses the campus. As a renouner of pop for the anarchy, Hooldy has access, and as an institution it ought for this reason to be encouraged. But some professors, not all of course, but a certain class, fight the idea. They brand it as foolish and ridiculous. They can see no fun in it. KARL KLOOZ, Chief Clerk. It might be well for the faculty also to dress in Hoja day regalia on that day. A resolution requiring that they do so would not be out of order. It would do much toward breaking down reserves, and three nine faculty members might even wear red shirts, so thereby brightening their countenance—and as, the physicists declare—adiring digestion. Be that as it may, spit is back- ing, generally speaking, among the faculty. Hobo day should not be the priority of the day. It is. Partri- pation is the solution. E. D.
