THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1920.
A friend, dear to the University and especially to students of Journalism, will leave the faculty of the University of Kansas to take up his duties as editor of Capper's Monthly, one of Capper's farm papers published at Topka. Professor Samuel O. Rice, who is finishing his fourth year in the Department of Journalism, coming here from the Kansas City Star, is that friend.
SAMUEL O. RICE
Mr. Rice has left an impression on all the students who have gone thru his classes and out into the journalistic world—an impression of fairness, freedom, and accuracy. The one point he has always driven home is fairness. When asked whether to run a certain story or not, he invariably replied, "If it is going to help more than it hinders, use it, but if it is going to do more harm than good, don't use it."
A professor of jurialism who instills that type of fair play and justness into the minds and hearts of his students and has sent out hundreds of college men and women to carry out in practice his teachings of the class room is indeed, a distinct loss to the University when he leaves it for other fields.
BUDGETING?
Herefore when it was hard to find a private among shavetails, now it is hard to find an ordinary citizen among presidential candidates.
A Kansas City paper advocates the adoption of a budget system—a system of "writing it down"—even to the sundaees and schairs, by the young women of America. Such a system applied to the University women would be a wonderful boon to the school, and extensively practiced, would bring about a real campus democracy.
The budget system would allow each woman to take equal percentages of "nap course"—whereas now they are unequally distributed. Dates would also have to be apportioned, and who content this would not tend to equalization of the inhabitants of Mount Oread?
By the judicial use of this system, the men would be required to buy a certain amount of cokes, candy, and eclairs for their "beloveds" each week—all this figured out on an average which would probably amount to five and one half cakes, three and one-third eclairs, and seven ounces of gumdrops, or something of the sort.
This might help, also in the appointment of wearing apparel at the security house, certain sisters being selected to furnish the hair pins, powder puffs, dancing pumps, et al, for each semester.
Yes, undoubtedly, the budget system is a grand opportunity for the women to show their advancement along the path of knowledge and economy,—but let's see. Who'll be the first to try it?
A little more than a year ago newspaper men were asked what they would do for news since the war ended, but the questioners failed to think about the coming presidential campaign, and the difficulty of getting a treaty by the Senate.
LEADERSHIP
The college man or woman of today has a binding duty to fill as well as he or she steps out into the world to take up the duties of citizenship and to make a place among those who have been numbered successful. With the advantage of having learned through the many varied courses of a four year curriculum, a sense of the obligations of citizenship, of interest in his fellow man, of interest in the international problems of the day, the college student goes out into the world, and wherever he makes his home he should become a powerful factor in 'acing the problems of his community.'
There is no University in the country where a student does not get a training for leadership. If the college student does not have leadership, who does have? Consequently, because of his advantages in a college education, every student who issues forth from the walls of an institution of earning has a binding duty to perform—that of leadership among his fellow man
Evidently the students who are buying used books at the book exchange are proffiting by the many suggestions of the Thrift Posters on the walls just across from the exchange
OVERFLOWING
In our childhood we often read about the old woman who lived in a shoe and had so many children she didn't know what to do. And so often
as history repeats itself, the University of Kansas has so many students she doesn't know what to do—or in better language, she doesn't know where to put the students in classrooms for every class is filled to overflowing.
No matter what class it is, the room is not large enough for the students; no matter how many books the professor ordered for the course, there aren't enough to supply the demand. There are simply too many students for the number of professors and classrooms.
We need more buildings, for K. U. is growing at a great speed. We need a student building and we need a stadium to give the students who attend the University the necessary recreation and meeting places. Let' have them all.
The Sour Owl was also a “Thou Shalt Not” when it cut the scandal section from within its covers. “Thou Shalter Not Print Scandal!”
"SMALL TOWN STUFF"
It cannot have escaped the irritated consciousness of many that the slang phrase "small town stuff" is used as a metaphor for results from observing that the phrase is employed to express disdain for subjects of interest relating to small towns and in a degree the image used in expressing that interest.
No one can justly charge this newspaper with lack of tranquility in its attitude toward the use of slung, loose clothing. It has an undestined aptness, a wholothe brawny strength, an acceptable brevity in a slang phrase, has not withheld approval; it is likely that many constant readers want to see images at times been emphasized by use.
Here, however, is a phrase which not only lacks those meritorious characteristics to which we have alluded, but is offensive in that it implies a greater importance which does not exist in the stuff talked about in a large town over stuff of interest, and therefore discussed, in a small town. There are examples of these inventions; the utterance of those vacant minds which are on a level with his shouz "Here's a stranger; it's heaves a brick at him!"
Small towns? The obvious first response upon hearing吉引 reference to them would be in the nature of a retort: Who create and manage the great affairs of industry, commerce and finance in large towns?
Small towers in notable numbers. There is not need to press that point. It takes care of itself. What we have in mind is the fact that small town stuff is not only relatively but absolutely as important as matter of interest, of discussion, as is the stuff gossiped about in large towns.
Ir Ucle Homer Hodge's son Horse, who has taken over the business of the village store which his grandfather started a n log house, and horseback riding in generations of Hodges, is constructing a spacious brick one story building to shelter his business, that fact is just as important a subject of conversation as the fact when Broadway and Fifth avenue gossiped about for years. It is precisely why who came to New York only twenty years ago, is building a twenty-five story apartment house on Park avenue to cost $10,000,000 wherein the least pretentious apartment will rent for $50,000 a year. Mind you the point is that the investments but their relative importance as topics of gossip.
Scotland gave to the world a story of one of its citizens who visited Paris, and after a day's exhaustive study of the French capital commented: "Paris is a great and beautiful city, and on give me Pebbles for pleasure!"
the dreams of thousands in great cities who have realized visions of youthful ambition return to the scenes and experiences of their buy-verses. In other words, those experiences, homely, perhaps, those scenes, yet memory sees to it they shall be beautiful in dreams—make those dreams the greatest happiness, it may be, of the grown woman, as inspiration a great city has satisfied.
It is neither wittery nor pretty to sneer at those things; and it would not be even if it could be proved that small town stuff lacks any heartiness which attaches to the staff talked about in big towns—New York Sun.
Mental Lapses
"Why, Pat," said a visitor to one of Ireland's beauty spots, "there used to be two windmills here."
"Bebad," was the reply, "they took one down to have more wind for the other."
"At 8 p. m. the hotel was startled by an alarm of fire. Guests rushed into the streets scantily clad."
Scantily clad at 8 p. m.
"There was a ball going on."
"Scantily clad at 8 p. m?"
Incentives
"The two great incentives to effort" says a writer, "are fears of punishment and hope of reward." In our own experience, a greater incentive than either.

"Well, the more I think of it the more pleased I am that only one of them can be elected."—Michigan Gargoyle.

Afterward, when they were formally presented one said:

The word most used and the word most abused in the English language is the good word "yes". It is a clean cut, well shaped, outstanding altogether Anglo-Saxon word, and not just the very word in our language or in any other.
To articulate it requires a little oreffort than to speak its equivalent "jn" (pronounced "yah") of the lermant and the Scandanavian tonic movements. To say "jn" one need open up his mouth.
THE GOOD WORD "YES."
The degeneration of speech, as of any other good institution, usually proceeds along lines of least resistance, and the affirmative syllable America, appears to have its physical for, or a cross-fertilization on the Anglo-Indian.
proceeds along lines of least resistance, and the affirmative syllable America, appears to have its physical for, or a cross-fertilizer on the Anglo-Saxon "yes." is is a verbal weed. No language has a more virile foundation; none has enriched itself by so wide a selection of words from other tongues. Because it is so highly organized, its abuse is the more deplorable. No language on earth can be more offensive to the trained ear than sloppy English. That decay has set in on our leading and best word, is a matter of more than curious interest
Condemning the practice of strong

and your no, for whatsoever is more

He who respects his yea so highly as to compel others to respect it, will exercise care in the pronunciation of it.

Inter-fraterrity basketball tournaments are raging at a number of Universities in the middle west besides the University of Kansas.
Missourians at the second Kansas basketball game noted that most of the crowd left before the game was over, according to the Evening Missourian. It is to be hoped that there will be no further occasion for criticism of Kansas crowds at basketball games this year.
