Whiteside Scores American Young for Using Slang
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS. THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1924.
Famous Actor Deplores Present Condition of American Youths' English
"The slang used by the young people of America today is appallning, especially by those who have quite school too early in life." This is the statement made by Walker White. This raised his opinion about his education.
"In the dining-care I notice this slang." I notice the way in which young people run their words together. Instead of saying "then," they say "when'd." Instead of saying "don't you" they say "don'ha".
Opportunity Should Wait Mr. Whiteside advocated that opportunity should wait on a college education.
Then Mr. Whitese told a story,
"The young people of today reminis
me of the little boy whose moths
have been eating slang. One day, after becom-
ing more exasperated than usual with
him, she called him to her. 'Jimmie',
she said, 'I have been going awry. Ave gw Maw. If I didn'_t the other guys would beat me up."
"I find that many young people are unable to discuss a book or a play intelligently," continued Mr. Whiteside. "They have no thought except of business. They seem ashamed to be considered 'highbrow', and they think that discussing such things is 'highbrow'. They talk utter

Mr. Whitteide said she was about his own acting except when the reporter referred to the play "Mr. Wu," he is rather an unpleasant玩," he remarked, "but it is good for one to the sort of play with strong characters as a while."
Natural Ability Necessary
To the question of whether a young man should attempt to represent the stage, he replied: "I would advise a man to make the attempt if he had any natural ability in that line. I would advise him to be a lawyer if he has any natural ability in that line. He would on his nationality, I would, however, advise him to get as much education as possible first."
Mrs. Allen Honors Five
Basketball Team and Date
Given Dinner
When told of the latest K. U. Drama club production "The Passing of the Third Floor Back," Mr. White said, "It is a very good play. It should lend itself to collige production very well indeed."
"A dinner fit for a king is none too good for the Jayhawk basketball team who won the Valley championship for 1924," said Kirk McMahon, then head coach of five play, and their dates to a 7 o'clock宴 at Wiedemann's on Wednesday.
The party was a great success, and during the dinner the players Ackermann, Belgard, Black, Bogle, Mossley presented Mrs. Allen with a
After the dinner Mrs. Allen took the players and their dates to see Walker Whiteside in "Mr. Wo," which was presented at the Bowersock.
Mr. Allen established this custom last year to show a mark of distinction to the boys who really made the Valley championship possible.

Feuillerat Authority on Elizabethan Literatur

University String Trio Is Heard Over W D A I
Owing to the absence of Prof. Welf-

University string quartet was unable
to play onstage and had previously
been arranged.
The University string trio played at the annual meeting of the Kansas City Teachers Association May evening, March 12. The members of the trio are Professors Edw. F. Kurtz, III C. Garrison, and Dean D. M. Seward.

The campus drive for the Memorial stadium, at the University of Texas, started with a rush Monday afternoon. Not even the sloppy streets, the cold snow, and rainy conditions, the enthralling experience, the 2,500 loyal students who gathered together that day for the opening of the drive.
Science Will Try to Communicate With Planet Mars
Light Flashes From Summi
of Yungfrau in Alps
to Be Used in
Attempt
(United Press)
London, March 15-Next August Mars will be near the earth than in 15 years. English scientists are preparing to make another attempt to associate with the red planet. A series of light flashes from the summit of the Yunfang, in the Alps, is the method to be used.

a gigantic electro-heliography apparatus is already being installed, which will concentrate the rays from the dazzling snowfields and them in a super-coattail beam millions of miles through interstellar
Vast Mirror to be Used
On the Jungfrau the question is solved. A neighboring mountain presents an enormous shimmer of shining snow, amenable great fireworks will take the place of the electric bulb in the motor bidlight, and a huge double lens capable of being pointed like a gun will be set on the mirror to throw to snow, allowing the space reflector, and so up through space to Marra. Ten thousand giant calcium forces, and a reflection more than two meters will develop a light estimated at two billion and a half million!
Journalism has been added to the regular curses at Baker University.
It is with this light that science hopes to traverse the 35,000,000 mph that will separate us from the rest of the universe. The Martian (assuming intelligent life exists on that planet) receive and endorse our signal? Then will they flag us?
Will Mars Answer?
This will make the system that will probably be used from the Alps. Two flashes a few seconds apart, then another two; then, after a maze, four faches. If there are two flashes they will realize that reason is behind them. Perhaps they will answer in the same way. If their answer is sent back imminently, they'll wait than seven minutes, for light travels 180,000 miles per second.

Simons Talks at Banquet
State Power Company Decides to Issue More Stock
"Wiedemann's Ice Cream Parlor," as it was called in years gone by, derived its motive power from a horse. An ancient nag operated a sweep in the rear of the establishment, and the power furnished by the sweep ran the overhanging sides of the fence. It did the other job when the incident to such a business. This bit of ancient history was recalled last night by W. C. Simons, publisher of the Lawrence Journal-World, who talked to the employees of the Kansas Electric Power Company, gathered in front of Mr. Simons' talk for a banque. Mr. Simons' talk in recent increase in the demand for electricity for light and power

"Woman Orator Talks on Loyalty and Prohibition
"Take Your Stand on Firing Line." Is Stimulating Slogan of Dry Worker
"If you don't like the eighteenth amendment and prohibition you might just as well make up your mind to like it, because it is here to stay," Mrs. Mary Hurry Armor, "the woman orator of America," in her speech on "Loyally" in convoitation this morning.
"When the United States went dry it was considered the greatest moral victory ever won. Now that we have won that, it is necessary that we win the victory of law enforcement or triumph will be lost," she continued.
Education Responsible
The first phase of Mrs. Armor's talk was why America went dry. "There are many causes, but the main reason is because of forty years of intensive teaching in the public schools of the effect," she said. Our forefathers licked alcohol and took it for every little ache and pain, but they didn't know any better. The children are informed regarding the deconstructive nature of alcohol and the intelligent people in the world on that subject."
The faith of the people of the United States in democracy was given as the reason regarding the United States "Proclaim that we put into the constitution while the boys were "over there," but this country went dry city by city and state by state for 68 years. By the time he signed into the constitution 55 per cent of the territory and 75 per cent of the people had already voted for prohibition. It is in the constitution and prosecution of democracy we are a friend of democracy you must stand by it." said Mrs. Armor.
Business Increases
THERE are two special results of prohibition. When prohibition was declared a new hope was kindled in the hearts of humanity, and a deem hatred was stirred in the minds of the blackest and vicious of all. ALL kinds of industries including motion picture industry, insurance, real estate and even marriage have been increased as a result of prohibition. These varieties have been deemed for countless adults and children as another result.
