Although the Jayhawker football team went down in impossible defeat before their traditional county war of Thanksgiving day, one wellWorked while victory school was earned for the Kansas school. Not a case of dreadness was reported among these students who made the trip.
Never has there been any serious unconduct committed by a roster from Kansas, but after almost every cut of town game there have been whispers about "some students" who were "nile bit under the influence." Possibly Kansas won the game, but over all the state many people thought less of the school beauty of the rumors floating around. And the rumors we ueually worse than the fact.
But if we are to have no moisture on which the rumors may be borne they will gradually die out. The Missouri game hit some of them a death blow. It shows promise for another year. May the promise be fulfilled.
I will try to make sure I have all the text in the image.
Girls of Today Die Young—Live Fast—headline. Wonder how they get their statistics, since the birth of Todd has been what is only two or three years?
WEEK-END,SHOWS
The average University student usually comes on campus in one show a week, and the most convenient time for him to go on at Friday or Saturday night. Often, however, in order to see the best attractions, he must take a night from his studies during the week.
The most beneficial thing the theory prescribes of Lawrence could do is to aid the student would be to schedule their best attractions for excursions. Every student wants to see the "big" pictures, and ridehouses, but many feel they cannot spare time on a mid-week night to go to a show. Therefore many are forced to join a good show, and go to a second ride attraction during the week-end or unseasonal, or want of other adjustment.
The theater owner knows of the attraction of picture shows on Friday and Saturday night, and they often run any thing which they are able to get. Sometimes the feature is fairly good, but more often it is cheap and of little entertainment value.
The pictures starring the leading actors usually come the first of the week and either the student weakness, goes to the show, and lets the studies suffer, or he passes up a worth-worth show for a poor one during the weekend, and comes away on Friday or Saturday night with the feeling of having wasted his money.
it has ever been a source of wonder to the "larger" woman with many tackles, why the little woman with bundles always gets a seat on the crowded street car.
46 SPACE ANNIHILATION
Two items in one day's news being relevant to our attention the advances made in applied science in the past decade. One item tells of the scandals of photographs by radi; from the United States to England, the other an army lieutenant who flew from Port Riley to Chicago to attend a dance. We are loud in our praise of the men who made these achievements possible; but we tend to forget the men who are behind them, the
scientist who labors in his laboratory to discover principles.
If a German physicist, Hefts, had not dressed way back in the early days of the nineteenth century, that the "other" would carry electrical oscillations; and if Edison had not discovered that the filament of an ammeterless light gave off a flow of electrons capable of carrying a current; and if Leo D. Ferent had not discovered that the flow of these electrons could be controlled by placing a third element in the bulb; then the achievement of the Radio Corporation of America would have been impossible.
If Chichester, and Langley, and Brakes, had not made experiments and observations, showing the best shape of wine curves for supporting an object in Bickly and if Otto, and others, had not demonstrated the ability of gasoline to drive a best weight engine, the lawsuit would have been forced to rename in Ft. Riley for his entertainment.
Of course without the application of these principles, the work of the researchers would have gone for naught. Bath are needed. It speaks well for American progress that many of our scientific workers, of which type Doctor De Forest is an example, are engaged in pure research in order that its results may be applied to practical problems.
While we are praising the achievements of today, I never, let us not forget those almost unknown men who strunged without reckoning and without thought of glory, in order that we might have more comforts.
Another case that goes to prove that education pays, is that of a certain senior who spent $100 a month his last year in college. The next fall he went to work as a reporter on a small town paper for $75 a month.
DOING TIME
Scrubbed to four years in a state institution—the University. And nt hard labor, too.
This fortunate lot seems to have befallen a number of our classmates for no greater crime than completing a preparatory course satisfactorily. In the classroom such a courage wows a humbled, braced look. He moves in motion at regular intervals during the lecture, a system of ewel mechanism and sign language whereby he may ascertain from a comrade some twenty seats down the row, the exact time.
Yet with all his trials he is a model of flexibility—observe how careful he is to devote at least half of each laboratory needed to putting away the apparatus. Precision, tea one of his virtues. He always takes the maximum of cute.
Our University is crowded to its doors. Hundreds of young people out over the state are dreaming of the time when this opportunity of a higher education shall be there.
Yes, the sentence is probably too heavy.
Doesn't the average professor pro-
tices to know more than a professor
with his knowledge should profess
to know?
Scholarship in the University of Kansas is higher this year than last, according to statistics issued recently. We, the student body, pat ourselves on the back, take off our hats and how to the organizations which head the list in the scholarship report, and then promptly forget all about it until next year when the report comes out.
YEARLY OR DAILY
The report may be a yearly matter, but it represents daily labor. A few of the more fortunate make grades; by last-minute studying, but the majority of those who keep the scholarship standard of the University at a high point work from day to day. These students will not forget about scholarship until next year. They have been working every day; they are working today; they will always work, not only that people may be pleased with the standing of the University of Kansas, but that they themselves may get from these college days a full, rich result, a result that will count materially in the years to come.
in what it is, but in what it is not. So many students with ability do not belong to it, simply because they re-depend on it as their true identity but once a year.
The trouble with this group is not
Three hundred and sixty-five days will leave before another scholarship report comes out. It is not the three hundred and sixty-fifth day that is important. It is today, and tomorrow, and all the rest of the day. What that report is next year depends on what every student does every day.
After reading "The Plastic Age" the ex-bartender turned to his wife and rookie, "I don't think I'll send Willie to college. He can get drunk at home!"
FOOTBALL IN EDUCATION
A row is in the making because a football star being to Yale after refusing several attractive inducements to enter another college for football联赛, finally fell when a valuable scholarship was offered him. It turned out that the other college faculty bad nothing to do with it. But the alumni were the guilty party. They readily induced one of their number to endow a special scholarship on such terms that he could come the scholar and be named the valiant footballer.
Commercialized college football has been suppressed in most of the leading institutions of learning, but it remains popular with the alumni who regard football as a or perhaps the leading feature of higher education in these times. The alumni want to prolong college associations by the football route. Besides, they along with the rest of the public are "sold" as the game. What is needed is vigilant resistance against alumni pressure when it places the spectacular before the more drab and substantial purposes of the hundreds of millions of dollars administered in the United States in behalf of education.
The question why K. U. does not win more championships was answered for us recently by an intell-
Women should register surprise that man hasn't started the style of wigs and hairpieces, now that woman have an successfully tailor, away all the distinctive masculinity of short hair.
gent coach who knows the game and his history and who is not a K. U. graduate and never was connected with that school. The answer was that K. U. has in complete good faith lived up to the conference standard of the ethics of university sports, If that is the answer, all the more honor to K. U.—The Papua Daily Capital.

What Was
"Robin Hood's Barn"
NIGH on to a thousand years ago, wealthy wayfavers learned to choose some roundabout route into Nottingham, rather than the short cut that led straight through Sherwood Forest.
People who buy without regard to advertising nowadays journey at high cost in roundabout ways, to make their purchases where dollars are dubious. For the shrewd buyer of anything, in our times, sends his money to market the straight, sure way, guided by advertising.
For the forest was "Robin Hood's barn"and doughty Robin and his merry men were eager coin collectors.
What is not, advertised may be worth buying. But what is advertised simply must be beyond question. He would be a foolhardy merchant, or a reckless manufacturer, who dared publicity for anything questionable.
All the risk these days is in going 'round Robin Hood's barn. Buying on the strength of the advertised promise is the way to buy with least risk of disappointment and greatest certainty of satisfaction.
