WHITE TROUBLE "What's the Matter with William Allen White" is the flagrant banner waved at intervals before the American public. And now one might reasonably ask, "Is there anything the matter with Mr. White?" He has proved himself an ardent supporter of Volstead. He is a loyal Kanan, an eminent author and a pretty good newspaper man. And when it comes to martyrdom, he is unexcelled. His sturdy person with an indefeating charisma certifies and revels in them. They don't stick; they glance off. Now the "schoolmarmes" are in battle array. Mr. White has offended them. They are advancing with their oins well sharpened. WHAT DO THEY WANT? There's many a lad who clears his throat wistfully as he reads of the week's vacation the Glee Club is getting. WHAT DO THEY WANT? An order of priests in Tibet is forced to gain their early education in cells isolated from all human intercourse. Food and water are poked into the skin, which gives them and they are left to their own thoughts. They are supposed to meditate and become wise—instead they go insane. This is what most of the critics of the American colleges would wish upon the college man or woman of this country. They write at length about the college men sitting in the front row of the Follies, or lying in the gutter tanked up on gun. The critic likes to mention, daning, smoking and other "supposed-to-be" sins, as the chief aim and work of the college youth. He does not picture the five days in the week when study holds away over the campus. Critics appear to want him to be a book on the first day of school and come up for air on the last. At least that is the impression received from their writings. It is up to the critic to get to work and offer some good honest criticism or else hold his peace. More sarcasm at something he doesn't understand will never reform the modern college, if it needs reforming. They could tell the college man or woman what they want, anyway. No one has seen where any of the self-appointed guardians of the campus have athlete. Among his track achievement to brag about. Let them offer something worth while, instead of barking at the moon. Sodaphne chooses her courses as she does her dresses, for their enduring worth. She often has to keep both more than a semester. --of a fat cutting their hair "Ponjo!" a fashion. The men of the school and he faculty have joined in a most emphatic protest against the fad. Three co-eds at Texas Normal were camped for cutting their hair too short. They couldn't see where the next forty cents was coming from. WHEN COMPANY COMES WHEN COMPANY COURSE When the company has finally pulled out for home, and the tired hosts grab a few gaps of air before tearing into the dirty dishes and disarranged furniture, it is the custom to hold a slight family pow-wow of the purpose of instruction, reprimand, and commendation for the ways in which the members of the family have fared out on the ponderous seas of etiquette. So, in pausing to reflect upon our behavior during the recent visitation of high school basketball teams, we conclude that on the whole, the high school boys should have been considerably impressed; we were able to assume an air of affability that is rarely duplicated on the campus. The lawyers are especially to be commended. Their gathering on the steps of Green hall was most imposing, repleasant as it was with bald beads, canes and stick-tight spectacles. Their rendition of their hymn which has reference to certain "dirty bum" is very good, indeed. One could not but feel surges of religious fervor and high ideals, born of higher education, flooding his soul when the impression "Ah-h-h-h Menn-n" concluded the self-publicity broadcasting of the "iaws." And didn't Oswald look cute, though? And didn't Perelvian do his part well! The little dartr: The rest of us did as best we could; we snowballed as we never did before, and grinned perpetually till we felt threatened with lock-jaw. We "howdied" everybody, and tried to demonstrate to those who really knew us just how nice and sweet we can be when we take a notion—however We took the boys home with us and spent money on them foolishly, impressing them with the sportmanship of "us college fellers" and the greatness of our Alma Mater—due to our presence here. We gorged them with the advice of men who "know the ropes" and recommended ourselves as life-long friends of no mean ability—even asking them to write us! So it looks like we did pretty well Mrs. Carter in the Wilkins murder case complaints because she has received forty telephone calls within a day or two. Fraternity pledges might telegraph her their sincerest sympathies. LET US SLEEP Out of the blackness of the balmy spring spring, yea, in the wee small hours of the morning, one can usually hear the voices of some love lorn youths serenading their fair Belinlas by the light of the moon, or the street lamp; as the case may be. Do you not remember, back in the high school days, how you used to stand around, wrapped in awe and admiration, listening to the barber shop quartet put out their sweetest harmony, singing the praises of Sweet Adeline. Yes, but in those days, they quit at some decent hour. But at college, in some incomprehensible way, conditions seem to make it imperative that the serendrons must wait before starting the prelude, so that they may be gently awakened from their slumbers, to hear of the steadfast devotion to "the honey that I love so well." Why do the nocturnal warriors need to wait until such an inappropriate hour to begin the entertainment? It is said that music has the charm to save the savage breast, but 1 o'clock in the morning is not the hour to try the experiment. The K. U. politicians can not only find all the mud they want on the campus, but if they will wait a minute before they come along and throw it for them.

That thrills the grasses, stirts the VERSES: FAIZ ULLA And, as it wonders on its way, while get the night is cool and dark Ere the first carol of the lark: I its plaintive murmurs seem to say "I wait the sorrows of the day." —Lawrence Hope.

This cap stays put! Other caps get lost but the new Williams caps are better. You want it. Truly, that's an improvement.
