What's in a Name?--Red Men Designated Our Capitol 'Spud'; Christened Chicago,'Wild Onion'
"Hip of a Horse" is a name not so familiar to students as Wakaraun, yet that is the Indian meaning of the name of the winding stream southeast of Lawrence where kids biking parties terminate. Many familiar names in Kansas are full of traditions and hidden meanings. The one whoChristianised our rivers, towns and landmarks year ago.
...and not understand an

make ourselves intelligible if we
should declare our intentions of
Potato," That is the Indian meaning for "our dignified capitol. While it is not an inspiration tradition to pass along, it is one that should be remembered because of the danger of losing its significance at risk to Toskana.
Kansas should not feel badly because of the lowly significance of the name of its capital. It should be thankful it was not named Chicago, which is the Indian name for "wild mion."
Methodist Students' National Conference Held at Louisville, Ky
112 Colleges and Universities Represented With 502 From 33 States
"The notable thing about the national conference of Methodist students at Louisville, Ky., was that it was organized by students, that the speakers were students, and that the discussion was led by students," said Richard Hanson, c26, a delegate from the University of Kansas to the convention and a member of the national executive committee. The university of Kansas is the university of Kansas at the conference were Faye Goosper, c27; Flose Smith, c27; Flory Simpton, c26; and Richard Hanson, c26.
The meetings were held from Friday, April 18, to Sunday, April 20. Methodist students numbering 502, from 33 states and representing 113.
colleges and universities, attended. The entire leadership was in the hands of students, except in the first discussion on "Methodian," which was represented by representatives representing the Methodist church of the North and one of the South.
Resolutions coming out of discussions contained the following points: 1. The Methodist church should never officially sanction war.
2. Agencies for preventing war, such as the League of Nations and the World Court should be encouraged.
3. Individual delegates shall do all in their power to eliminate the causes of war.
4. Military training courses should not be taught in Methodist schools. Equality of opportunity for all races in industrial, political, and school life was upheld in the resolution against industrial relations recommended collective bargaining for both capital and labor; advocated steps for alleviating unemployment declared the use of the injunction to be against the rights of American citizenship, deferred the monopolistic control of capital and natural resources, and promoted socialization among public utilities.
Names of other towns are interesting because of the circumstances which caused the name to be adopted. Florence was named durer than her brother, and she married for his daughter, who later married Senator Arthur Capper.

The most humorous report comes into a town that let a vain but clever Frenchman chateau it in a burglar's apartment to be named for Octavie Chanteau, an illustrious civil engineer, in return for a library which was to have been endowed by said Frenchman. Chanteau did not get a library but they got a very good name, and the librarians gave it up now for many libraries.
Our own town was named for Amos Lawrence, a prominent New Englander who settled in this part of the country years ago. In the little chapel on the old Episkopi church on New Hampshire street is a memorial to Mr. Lawrence to the townpeople expressing his gratitude for the honor they conferred upon him in choosing his name for the town.
