The Daily Koman arms to picture the undergraduate jacket of justice, with macramé seams and inscription, the waist by standing for the ideals of humanity. The body is to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be problematical; to water heads; in all to serve to the heart of its white bones.
Renew Fighting in Erin—a head line. Did they ever stop it?
THE SEVENTH YEAR
Children and students are starving in Europe.
Trusted officials have proved un trustworthy.
Politicians are slinging as much mud as ever in view of the coming presidential election.
The Ku Klux Klan is playing as dominant a part in the affairs of the nation as it was a year ago, although not in such an open manner.
Many Americans are becoming very wrought up over the alleged attempt of the church to teach pacifism which many content means disloyalty to the United States.
Such are the press reports on the seventh anniversary of the day upon which America entered the World War to fight for an ideal which the leaders of the country declared to be "Democracy for the world."
--ina whippoorwills were fluting our suppertime.
NEW ART
Bergdoll returning to America to face the Music—a headline. But the Legion is saying "Sing Sing."
Critics who went to scoff remained to marvel.
Jacob Epstein, sculptor, is gradually winning admiration if not approbation in his models which have been on exhibit at various times in the Exhibit Galleries.
Since his works began attracting attention of critics there has been a rise of indignant hostility toward them. London reviewers call him the "Lenin in Art" or the exemplar of "art for the devil's sake". R. H. Wilsenk, not an Englishman, calls Epstein's buits "magnificent examples of romantic sculpture" and goes on to say that the Englishmen are incapable of understanding him because they are umromantic.
Epstein's figures, he says, do not flatter nor fall to a type. They are individual expressing on specific character—that of his subject. While the Englishman will "convert leanness to elegance and fabbishness to languor" in his sentimental way. Epstein depicts realism in all its leanness and fabbishness.
Epstein rebels at the conformity of the established idea of art. He revels in creating a sensation although he does not make concessions to a craving for notoriety. He is conquesting because he is an artist with perfect control over his material. He has the right to rebel and to blaze a new trail through the field of sculpture.
Coolidge names guardians of oil—a headline. Oil needs a guardian badly. Look at the misfuel it makes.
"CONSCIENCE MONEY"
She wanted to clear her conscience after a lape 'of twenty-three years. So she sent twenty-three cents in stamps to the Dodge City postmaster
But the "conscience money" was promptly returned to the converted woman, as she called herself. The man to whom the money was due had long since paid the small deficit in his books from his own pocket and turned them over to someone else. The debt is unpaid.
The amount is negligent but the situation, significant. It serves to remind. Did she ask let a quarter of a century past before paying her obligation? Was this twenty-three cent debt an index to other moral or financial duties she left unpaid until it was too late?
Harvard Tries to Pick up New
ork Through Waves—reaches a headline.
If they could, what a mess
Harvard would be in.
Honor system did not work with the Washington gang and consequently the Senate had to resort to quizzes.
Spring Weather Takes Hold—a headline. That explains the absence of so many from the Friday after noon class.
Hoodline: Firm to Think for Students. Such a firm would be intensely popular on this campus.
Headline: Banks as Big Advertisers. They're the last firm on earth who would expect to advertise. Enough bank bandits find them as it is.
Clarice is tired of being the hard-working head of hardly-working committees.
THE PATH-MAKERS
(By Selden Lincoln Whitecomb)
When we first met,
When we first met,
Ve three.
The blades were kneehigh in the earnfields:
When we last parted. We three.
The wheat was stacked for the threshing.
The buckwheat gleamed in the moonlight,
The white-throated sparrows had vanished,
The frost was white on the grasses
The location gang bequeathed us
The location gang bequeathed us
Blueprints in a room above the store
A broken line of wooden stakes,
Stretching ten yards.
From the house of Widow Baker On Maple street
Through oats and corn, through meadow, orchard.
Along the slough and up the hill To Farmer Pitkin's yard
And snug beside his rusty barn.
To right and left of the broken line When one could find them.
We worked in calm and wind,
a sunshine and in thunderstorm
In sunshine and in thunder-storm. In heat that blistered flesh and
The early morning saw us on our way.
It night, all still below.
In the tiny upper chamber,
(Full of tobacco smoke and mottled
cursing),
We worked on estimates Of areas and cubic contents
Of cut and fill,
Until the village clock tolled loud;
One - two - three - four - five - six
Seven - eight - nine - ten - eleven
twelve.
And far afield,
Into hardened soil we wormed the red
To find first shale and stone;
We waded the stream to mark the bridge
And we tramped, tramped, tramped
We three
Along the tangent, around the curve,
In dust and mud and clay and thorny
tangle.
With axe and rod and level
Sweating, freezing,
Hungry, thirsting,
Sometimes jacket and fanny.
For we were the resident engineers.
And the rails, the rails, were creeping close.
These, too, were ours:
Rive plums in the shady orchard,
Baldwin.
and in the meadowlark's west,
The song of the indigo bunting,
Through the August sulriness,
And the warble of vireo, bobolink
Noon rest beneath the wayside pop lars!
The frost was glistening on the rails from Winona into Dover, and the steam of Number One—"Hurrah, boys, Hurrah"—
When we last parted,
With so long, ago,
When we last parted, parting for
ever.
And the warble of vireo, bobolink thrasher.
covered white against the blue November sky.
When we last parted,
Official Daily University Bulletin
Ripe plums in the shady orchard. Cold water at Big Spring.
Today they whirl along our path—(With not a thought of us, Us three, path-mokars)—
The nailon banker to the surgeon,
The priest to his new parish,
The maiden to her wedding,
The sinner toward the Judgmen
Copy received at the Chancellor's Office until 11:00 a.m.
The sinner toward the Judgment Day,
And the unborn babe unto its birth.

Plain Tales From The Hill
CONVOCATION:
E. H. LINDLEY.
Fostus rings up the curtain this week on an historical drama, depicting the general exodus and Oklahoma begin of 1923, the aftermath of medieval habit coupled with the Volstainian Theorem and subjected to the jurisdiction of Jay R. Dye. This brilliant drama, adapted into a podcast episode was written by Fostus, called by Festus, conceived by Festus, produced by Festus, and criticized by Festus. In fact, it is a Festus work. He admits it. It looks as if Festus is about to win his own BIG RAZZBERRY AWARD. This fellow Festus wont be offered to no less than twenty-one journals, including Life's War Plan Contest, the Ladies Home Journal bed time department, the Congressional Record, Capt. Billy's Whiz Bang sorority house extra, and the Black Mask "The Truth." He even went in to the Pachaacume platform, but they refused it, and J. B. Engel remains an ordinary student. The Sour Owl even refused it. This eminent playwrite then consulted T. G. Wear and he advised its author to junk it. Consequently it will fill it for one dollar for the benefit of America's Fit at the 1924 Olympics, but Dr. Outland *w*d his show instead.
In turn, the mistreated memorial was handed to the senior play committee, the Postmum Cereal Advertising campaign, the Student Council committee, and the university accepted by the author himself, as worthy filler of his colum.
This little farce was written and set in type only after a careful study of the modern photophy as exhibited in Lawrence and a careful diagnosis of "Fliming Youth," an experiment on Wween's—in order that the director might gauge just what a university audience will stand. Therefore,

"The problem is almost solved, Vladimir!
You have the shoes, and I have a

Tring of the monotony of school life, two students a the Ohio State University have set out for an ad-hoc trip to New York. They are bumming automobile rides to New York, and from there they expect to take a ship to some European port. They plan to return to re-enter the university next fall.
What is known as the "church tramp" has been introduced by the
women students at the Ohio State University, to take place every Sunday morning throughout the spring quarter. The purpose of the tramp course is to teach their beds and to encourage them to hike in a body to various churches of the neighborhood. The women also have a different church every Sunday.

IT'S THE CUT OF YOUR CLOTHES THAT COUNTS
The Cornell model $50
The Society Brand Cornell follows the present style tendency toward straight lines, but is not extreme. It's loose and easy, but it has that tailored effect that well dressed men like. Smartly cut, quite different from anything you'll see. We have a comprehensive selection in those somewhat rougher fabrics particularly good in this style.
