Ordinarily, style and decey are two distantly related subjects, but on the campus today they are closely co-ordinated.
To be in style does not mean that the women must pick up every freak fad that comes along. It does not mean that they must go to all the extremes of the prevailing modes. Neither can they be "backwoods" in their apparel. There is a happy medium.
STYLE AND DECENCY
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1924
No one objects to seeing a well-attired, up to the minute, young lady, wearing the latest dresses, but some of the more old fashioned fojies like the writer are strongly disguised when they see a world be flapper tripping down Oread avenue with her dress hitting at the knees or above and her stockings rolled below.
Such would-be's are usually brassé enough that they do not mind the remarks and jibes of the man, which they cannot help but overheat. May be they like them, who know?
At any rate, there is a very noticeable line of distinction between style and deceyness. If shorter dresses are the "hot stuff" for the search—all well and good, but there is no excuse for indecency.
ON THE STAND
"Revenue at last!" smirks the villain as he goes to the telephone at 8:45 p. m. to break that date for the Leap year veracity.
The University of Kansas along with every other American university is up for trial, accused of undemocracy. Kansas, with all the rest, must make its defense and if it cannot prove itself innocent, must take its punishment and seek its own re-formation.
Perhaps, fairly it might be said that there is a control by the group who go in for campus activities, and yet that is not an undomoralistic group. Only too eager are its members to welcome willing recruits to the ranks of those who control the innumerable Mt. Oread clubs, societies, and committees.
Money noisby is not the deliverer of democracy on Mt. Oread. Students barely able to make their way by working at the one thousand things college students do to earn money, have for their best pals and comrades in social groups the children of wealthy families. None, perhaps are (substantially rich and none certainly are desperately poor). Financial undemocracy is therefore not quitted.
There is no more a smobbery of scholarship at the University of Kansas. The group of students who have exceptionally fine scholarship are awarded and recognized as beits their attainments but they are far too "good accuited" in the pinnance of the student body to form a clique with a superiority complex.
Such a diversity of interests is offered, and so wide a range of activities presented, to the students that there is no opportunity for an exhibition of a lack of democracy. Somewhere in the multitude of activities is the proper niche for every student. Student council rules limiting the number of positions of responsibility which may be held by any individual minimize the danger of overpopulation of a small group in campus organization life.
If neither wealth, nor scholarship nor gayness, nor extra-curricular activities, can be tagged with the yel
new budge of university undecopery,
it may be that the social organizations
of the university must bear the
blame. Even among the fermenters
and secretries, the most common cuff
of the attacks on university life,
undecopery at the University of Kansas
exists in negligible quantity.
Members of the fraternity and security groups, exemplating about one fourth of the student body, are ever on the alert to find friends among the members of other social organizations and among those who are not members of such groups. Their purpose is a democratic rather than an undecentralized one.
In all the outstanding phases of university life, it seems probable that the democratic element heavily outweighs the anbillish. But still the objection remains that democracy is a question of spirit rather than of opportunity' role. Whatever undemocracy there is on an Mt. Oread today, exists then because of the lack of the realization of the true ideal of Hill life on the part of the individual. Before any学生 brings the accusation that the University of Kansas is undemocratic, therefore, let him be sure that there is nothing of undemocracy, everything of friendliness, in his own attitude toward his fellow students. The undemocracy which may exist on this campus is not the undemocracy of any group but of sentenced individuals who are sally out of time, losing out on the best of the rhythm of democratic university life.
--dearly little or no cott, which would relieve this situation. Students can't carry a bottle of ink with them why can't such a filling station for dry pens be placed at the most advantageous points on the campus. This would make for more efficient work upon the part of the student.
What chance for publicity has the average man who presents his better half with a dozen roses on the anniversary, when a Tulsa man who recently gave his wife a million dollars, gets only a paragraph story in the press?
THAT LETTER HOME
Do you remember the long, interesting letters you wrote that first month of school the year you were a freshman? Everything was new and colorful to you then, and the letter house was easy to white. And then, perhaps, you were a little homeick, weren't you, just a bit?
Things are different now. Has it been three days, or a week, or three weeks since you wrote a letter home that was more than a perfunctory "I am well, and hope you are all the same" or Dear Dad, expense this month is heavier than I figured? You have not noticed, and neither, perhaps have your mother and your father. Both are busy enough in this modern age, of course.
You were twelve when you threw your arm about your mother and said something about the "dearest, dearest mummy." It was when you graduated from high school that you collenly talked with father about the responsibilities of a grown-up world and found yourself holding his hand very tightly because he understood how serious you were. You haven't forgotten, and neither has that "dearest mummy" cr most understanding "dad." Father wouldn't admit it, but he is a sentimental sort of person—and he hasn't had a love letter for years. Mother has treasured those loving baby scrawls you wrote one Thanksgiving from grandmother's, but of recent years she has had little to add to them.
There is much to write in that letter home tonight. It will be crammed full of the news of a busy, happy life at the university, and it will hold a heart full of love for those wonderful parents of yours back home.
Practically every day the matter of a dry fountain pen confronts many students and the most likely place is the library. It is obvious that if the attendants in charge of the library would try to help each victim of circumstance out they would in time be caught up with them, ink bottles to and from their desks, besides the worry of being posted it all times by students in want.
Mayor loses overcrowd—headline.
Then the Mayor must realize what it means to go to a Hill party.

I am greatly in favor of the labo- ing man's views given in the campus
There is an injunction in the present treatment of some working students. The sum paid by certain employers is so small that it would not even constitute a fourth of what the Union man is accustomed to be paid. We fuss and fume when the unions put on a strike and tie up business, yet we have an opportunity to give one generous labor a fair deal we pay them 15 and 20 cents an hour. Thesum 'bon' is deoblabor.
In a community such as the one on
upde in Kansas students, there
should be more intelligent intelligence
than anywhere else in the state,
with the exception of like University
communities.
Public opinion, stronger than any law, stronger than any part, sect or can, then remove an evil if that puts an awake of injuries in the social order.
This student body doesn't always get what it wants but if pressure is brought to bear on an evident injustice, something is usually done. When somebody something is to help the man who works his way through school?
epiction of Friday's Kanan. I only think that some action should have been taken long ago. It is without a doubt something that should be followed up; I am in favor of carrying it to the limit, even so far as organizing the students and letting them work on n body.
And speaking of an organization body, could they get greater results, could collective action bring better results? I don't think they don't think things should be carried to the extreme, but I do believe that the employees requiring the students to work beyond justice should be made to come across with some com-
I am a working man and will back the liking man's policy to the limit, if any action is taken. This should be of interest to every student working or not, for it is a just use and one that deserves consideration. — E. B.
Those, who declare they will take part in no war regardless of circumstances, do not consider the right of dictators and their countrymen to freedom, home, homes and property, to the idols and institutions made sacred by the blood and toll of their fathers.
A Student
They do not think of the protection that may be needed by their little sisters and brothers, ee of their own family. On the other hand, the newspapers and individuals, who sneer at the efforts being made to promote peace, see the worst criminals at heart. No such thing is possible than the enemy.

What Was "Robin Hood's Barn"
X
NIGH on to a thousand years ago, wealthy wayfarers learned to choose some roundabout route into Nottingham, rather than the short cut that led straight through Sherwood Forest.
For the forest was "Robin Hood's barn"and doughty Robin and his merry men were eager coin collectors.
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.
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.
