IN LINCOLN'S MOLD
Classes will be dismissed tomorrow in memory of the Great Emancipation — Abraham Lincoln. The nation is recognizing the ability, strength, and most of all, the honor, of the chief executive who carried the nation through its time of greatest trial and struggle, who, when all was going against him, continued steadfastly or his course of what he clearly saw at the best for the country.
Times like those of the 'Sixties may again come upon us...indeed, from the social unrest of labor and the masses over the world in revolt against established government, such a question arises that no man or faction may say "This is the right." In such conflict, it remains for great men to say, "It is best for the race, and therefore the lesser of evils."
Then in the future, when the conflict of peoples spring up, when civil war is imminent, let us hope that some man, some great man of the world of the Great Lincoln, steps from obscurity as in the days of the Civil War, and handles the situation like Lincoln would, to save the world from chaos.
LET'S STUDY
The ftu ban is on stricter than ever and several of the good meetings for the week have been called off. Students roret that such affairs as the Noonday Lunchon and the Sherwon Eddy meetings have been postponed, but in order to carry out the directions of the health officers it was necessary for the Chancellor to do so. It is but one of the many incidents in the life of a great institution.
However, there is one thing that has not been discontinued and that is class-room work. Every student should have all of his courses well in hand by this week and although there is no picture show, no party, or meeting to attend, that new textbook, just bought, may well be looked into. Often under the press of urgent meetings the student must let up a little on his studies, but during the present state of activity, a great deal of valuable studying could be done. A good piece of work now for the professor will help a lot toward a good grade at the end of the semester.
UNEducated COLLEGIANS The narrowness of college men, and women, their lack of perspective on the game of life until after they have matriculated in the University of Hard Knocks, has been the cause of much unfavorable comment from the world of today, even to the point of discrimination against the newly graduated men and women.
The social life of the University is given the blame for this deplorable
condition, but unjustly. Even among the hard students, and those who do no participate in the society functions is this indifference to the vital factors. The trouble seems to be in fear or ridicule, and getting away from the beaten paths of least resistance. University people are afraid of expressing their thoughts on the important events and questions, because at the time, some of their schmalters are earnestly discussing the latest dance, or thelatest style in clothes, and were such an unconventional subject to be braached, the speaker would be greeted with a silence begotten of-total ignorance.
The students are too busy to spend any time reading newspapers and the new books of the day. The vacant hours of the day are spent in loafing, music or the movies. The night is used to some extent, in studying, and the students fortunate enough or careless enough, not to have the entire evening occupied in study, "date," "movie" and "bull" for the remainder of the time.
It seems an actual lack of "class" (and therefore much to be avoided) to be seen with the editorial page of a newspaper, or with a book other than a text. Two students out of a class of forty (an English class) in the University, were able to say they had read "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" the other day, while one had only perused "The Harbor"—volumes among the most discussed books of the last two years.
If you were to ask the first ten students you met, "What is article X in the constitution of the League of Nations?" or "Give reasons for your opinions of Governor Allen's industrial courts law," do you think you would get many definite answers? Do you ever pick up a newspaper, overcome the "headline habit" for a few minutes, and try to understand just what it is you are reading about? Try it sometime, and see if you don't learn something you didn't know before!
THE DEAD-LINE
Each spring as the Jayhawker finally makes its appearance, the students comment, "Well, they finally got it out." The reference to them is the editors, who have been doing their best to produce a Jayhawker when they said they would. But no matter how hard they try the Jayhawker has always come out late.
The 1920 Jayhawker has announced a new dead-line when all material such as glasses should be in by February 20. This date has been announced as final, yet there will be dozens of students who will be trying to turn in glasses as late as March 20.
These very same students who were so careless about turning their gloss in on time are the chief complainers when the book comes out late. To produce a Jayhawkter takes a great deal of work and students who wish to have their pictures in the book should cooperate to the extent that they will turn them in on time. The chances are the Jayhawkter will come out on time if this is done.
THE CLASS NUISANCE
In the army he became too familiar with the second lieutenant. When ever that immature dignitary would condescend to soften, up a little on discipline he would stretch the point and forget his "Shir" and his salute. In the end the C. O. would see him, decide the morals of his troops were falling, and tighten up to the sorrow of the organization.
In the classroom he continues his tactics. When the instructor tires of having too formal methods of higher education and comes halfway down the stairs towards the level of his students, this same nuisance blurs out with a too protainerist remark and the instructor is forced to ascend the stairs. Granted a hearing the nuisance takes the stage. Favored with a smile in return for his must joke he demands upoarsive laughter and sets out to attain it. In the end he becomes a bore and the instructor must remain above the level of the class to avoid his tactics
Numerous students who never find time to go to the movies during the week seem to think that they just can't wait until the fau ban is lifted because they are missing such good shows.
Editor The Daily Kansan:
If the author of the editorial, "A Little Learning" published in the Kansan February 9, is a "well done" student then I for one should prefer to be classed among those referred to as being only partly cooked.
Campus Opinion
His statement that "science does not conflict with religion," is true. But religion is a pretty broad word. For a student to declare that he does not believe the Bible as it was taught him by his Sunday School Teacher years ago is a great deal different in religion. True Religion and True Science must harmonize for truth can not conflict with itself. On the other hand unless one is a member of that class who close their brains and then open their Bible he cannot help but see that there is a conflict and a very evident one between modern science and the Bible. I know that the College Professors among them who try to delude themselves into thinking there is not, but surely anyone whose mind is free from the shackles and traditions of the past does not believe that there was a time when donkeys talked, when water at a word, miraculously changed into wine, when the sun stopped shining and when individuals on a river, when individuals who died on this earth rose and resumed their tasks. Of course certain people try to interpret these things to suit themselves, not attempt to take them literally, but according to that method one could take each figure in mathematics and give each figure or sign a name to describe their beauty in a beautiful poem. The student who is even the most primary kind of thinker comes pretty early in his college course to the place where he must either cast all the Darwinian theory and some other which tend to prove the universe is uled by law, or else the old miracle story of creation and other things quite miraculous, as taught by the
One who respects the Bible.
Mental Lapses
A well-known philanthropist in East London gave the other day, a slum child's version of the story of Eden. She was sitting with other children on the curb outside a public building, and her version of the story proceeded;
"Eve sees 'Adam, 'ave a bite? 'No see Adam, 'don't want a bite!' Garn!' See Eve; 'go on, go a bite!' I don't want Adam, 'don't want a bite!' I repeated this dialogue, her voice rising to a shrill shriek. "An' then Adam took a bite," she finished up. "An' the flamin' angel came along wily. Then he cut off Nath, who nash—anhtale!" *Tk Bits.*

Speaking by the Card
OREAD NOTES
A member of Parliament called an other ass in the sacred precincts of the town hall and asked age being forbidden, the offending M. P. had to apologize and withdrawn his statement. He didn't like doing it, "I withdraw," he said very stiffly; "but I maintain that the honorable memorial should be done out of order?" asked the other man heatedly, "Probably a veterinary surgeon could tell you," was the retort.
"Where did you work last?" asked the prosecuting attorney.
