"CONCEEDING THE DECOTAS"
Such sporadic efforts to popularize simplified and original spelling are made by the students who wrote the election return slides Tuesday night are in advance of their time. The dull populace has not yet reached the point where it can appreciate the improvement of "concede" over "concide." This was swown by the young wit who rudely suggested that the word be spelled with an "s."
Then again the twin states of North and South Dakota have had a long and successful history under their present spelling and the public is reluctant to accept the obviously improved spelling c' "Decota." Even "Decota" is seemed too radical for the most conservative group. The way of a pioneer is always a hard one and that of an orthogonal pioneer seems to be no exception.
Now is the time for post-menarche statements. Colledge will be silent, a per habit. Dawes will swear, "Hell Mary, ya, we couldn't help winning"; Davis—"The South still has confidence in its leaders." La Follett: "The country is not ready yet. I am aurised to find that there was so much liberal sentiment I have nothing further to say."
JUST KIDS
They were just a couple of kids, yet they brought a smile to more than one worried face as they ran along. It was raining, torrent of rain. The adult population was rushing along, some crowded under umbrellas, less fortunate ones running to avoid having to get a new mare, repleating a skirt, or press a pair of trousers, yet fearing to fall on the steep walk.
"Oh, boy, ain't this fun?"
Started, the passer-by looked up to see who could possibly think so, then they invariably smiled reminiscently.
The speaker was a schoolboy, bareheaded, barefooted grimming broadly as his tues dug into the soft mind. His books were thoughtfully exposed to the merciless rain, his clothes dripping, his discarded shoes swinging in one hand, but he was happy. His companion from a puddle nearby splashed water on the passerby, but they didn't mind. For just a moment they were carried back to the carefree, irreprossible days of childhood, and doubtless some of them would have enjoyed joining the youngsters in their play if they were not ashamed to admit it.
'The voice of the people was hard in a miggy referendum,' says the winning side. 'Walk till 1928, we will sweep the country,' answers the other. But down in their hearts all are saying: 'Whew, that was strenuous. Sure glad to have it over with.'
IN THE WHIRL
The time for leisure, interesting books, and the pleasant companionship of friends; the time to stroll off the hill in the early dusk and a few moments to notice the changing mood of the Valley, are yours, if you have not followed the leader and jumped into the whirl of college's activities, ascertaining the greatest part of time youth to councils, meetings, committees, play casts, movements and drives.
The student who rushes from one
activity to another, his mind completely occupied with his head of responsibility and duty will certainly worthwhile lectures and plays. He can't have time to really enjoy a library, rich in knowledge one never obtains simply from required readings.
The plan of "never have time" accounts for the student's lack of knowledge of what is going on in the world outside. Of course students don't have time to read magazines or periodicals. They are doing well if they have the opportunity to learn the lesson for the morrow. It is a wonder that new student can't break down with the nervous strain of so much to do, too many things to concern a mind already filled with details of curricular worries and the basics of living.
When a student is graduated from a university he should leave it feeling the challenge to use in the best way possible, learning acquired while in college, but the senior in most institutions is so worried from the strain of four years of over-wear, that he looks forward with joy to the possibilities of a cure rest.
Many students who enrolled in a course in philosophy are now beginning to doubt their own wisdom for taking the course.
There is still hope for La Follette Three precincts in central Nevada. have not been heard from yet.
Walt, anyhow, "Ma" Ferguson and "Al" Smith got elected.
The Kansas. City Star batted about 750 in this election. This isn't so bad when one considers that some of the candidates having the support of the Star had only a faint hope.
I told you se; I knew it; I am satisfied with the r turns; I wish i congratulate you on your victory; you deserved to win, best of luck These are a few samples of post-icee'ion talk.

CAMPUS OPINION
************************************************************
dblof 51 the Kansan!
Editor of the Kansai:
Perhaps it does not behove a more student to disagree with a dramatic critic, but as a representative of a team that was not a good brewerk Monday night, I should like to any that we did not feel that "The Romantic Age" *drogged* through three acts. On the contrary, it was kept up t>1 a high point of artistic presentation. Of course, it was not a professional production, yet it is not fair to the participants or to the author to characterize it as "a sweet trail of disillusionment."
The play had an unusual charm which was not in the least prone or of the kind to appeal to the most matter-of-fact persons. But subtle charm and levelness, and a touch of sweetness, did not differ from "sweet nothing."
"The Romantic Agent," even in his most sentimental moments went over to a college audience, which is more than can be raid of most plays. In fact, the appreciation of that most critical of all people, a college student, is a good tat of the artistry of any play.
Mr. A. A. Milne has been writing plays longer than most critics have been criticizing them. Perhaps, if he should read the criticism in the Korean, he might rightly object to a review that saved "sweet nothings and a few pure" things.
I have a headache. I am not naturally sickly either. But these last few wuechs, and particularly these last days, have been unusually strenuous.
Papers, themes, reports, quizzes, in one unending stream. All evening in the library—and for purposes of study. Then up to 1: 2 or 3 o'clock, pecking away at the typwriter, writing notes on a stack of reports, until my table looks like the copy disk of the New Republic just before election time.
A Play-Goer
Editor Daily Kansas:
"For next week you will write a paper on the advance of collectivism among the aborigines of the Fiji Islands. Don't make it too long, about six thousand words will do. Tomorrow we will have a quiz covering the first twenty-five chapters in the book. Your grade in this will be based on your performance standing in the course. For next Friday write a theme on "The Crucial Day in My Career." Be specific, clear, true, concise."
And so on, and so on, ad infinitum.

PEN AND SCROLL:
The stuff I have written in the last two weeks will fill several pigeon-sized volumes. The end is not in sight yet.
Study, write, grind from murmur until morn. I haven't had time to hear any of the political specie—could hardly take off two minutes to watch the "grid-graph" on the election returns. The great outdoors beckons. The autumn scenery I must pass up is the pine trees and the Kaw dwindles. The movement has borgneted. Life is an endless routine of study and writing.
And in order to stay up late I have to resort to the use of various mechanical devices, and stimulants, coffee being the chief ingredient of the latter. Perhaps I shall soon used glasses to wear.
If I should yield to the temptation of cheating, could I be blamed? If I hunt around for some old papers on my courses, and copy, is the ruined paper. Can I be blamed for coming late to school for falling asleep after I get there?
I don't want to kick. I am too tired for that. I would just like to go to sleep for about three years. Maybe I could get caught up. In the meantime I still have a headache, and I feel drowsy, S. M.

Unkempt hair— how to avoid it
IT is the first thing people see. It spoils a man's appearance quicker than anything else.
No matter how well you are dressed -you cannot look your best if your hair is out of place!
College men discovered it first—but today men and women everywhere have learned they want it, just a touch of
Stacomb. This delicate, invisible cream keeps the hair the way you like it best, from a natural, lustrous. However dry and straight your hair may be—however hard to control after being washed—it remains truly in place all day long.
Non-staining and non-
greasy. In jars and tubes, at
your college drug store.
