THE OLD FIGHT
Even though your boat may be leaking, you may still reach the short by rowing the remaining few days of this semester.
The basketball season is fairly launched. With four games in the win column, two with state conference teams and two with the Ames Cyclones, the Crimson and Blue squad is off to what now appears to be a rather successful season. The team is to be improving with time and there are traces of the same Missouri Valley championships not very many years ago.
It is true that the first hurdle in the race to the Valley championship is taken. But the second obstacle in our path is almost hers and it bids fair to be a much more serious one than was the first. Missouri will appear on the Robinson gymnasium court Thursday and Friday nights for the initial battles with Kansas and they are certain to be fast and furious.
Each year for the last three years Missouri has succeeded in winning more than her share of basketball games with Kansas. But each year Kansas has fought hard and has taken at least one game out of four and the team is out for revenge this year. For the last two years, Kansas has put a serious crimp in Missouri's championship aspirations by winning a game in a crucial series, and Missouri has a wholesome respect for the Crimson and Blue basketers.
This year, as usual, the dope is against the Jayhawkers. Missouri has had little trouble in winning four Valley games, two against Ames and two against Washington, and the Tigers defeated the Iowans by much larger scores than did Kansas.
But Kansas is far from discouraged. The men have the old fight that wins many games and pulls battles out of the fire when they are apparently lost, and they are going after Missouri with that spirit. They deserve the entire support of the student body and everything else should be placed on the sidetrack Thursday and Friday nights when the Tigers are in town. Robinson gym should be packed to the gills each night and the University as a whole should turn out in a mighty reception to the visitors.
HAVE YOU A BUDGET?
In the present Thrift Campaign which is being carried on this week, there is a day reserved to the family budget. Most families do not take the trouble to find out where the money goes, but spend it as they get it. Consequently the family that is
running on a close basis and saving
but little is hard hit when something
unexpected turns up. A budget,
showing where the money will, will
add any family to find the leaks in
the family purse, and by so doing
a greater amount will be saved to use
on a rainy day.
We are all clamoring loudly for a national budget system, claiming our government is very wasteful, and is careless as to what it does with our money. If it runs behind, we are taxed a little more to make up the deficit. But how can we critize our government in the unbns...sallike methods of spending when we in our own families are as bad.
A budget system for the family can equally well be applied to the student of today. It is too bad that in the Thrift campaign that there was not a day reserved for students, at the present high cost of living they are causing their parents to dig deep in their pockets for the wherewithal of an education.
Some students work their way through school. They doublehass a budget system of their own. But there are lots of students who receive an allowance from home ranging anywhere from forty to two hundred dollars. The trouble is that the average student runs over this allowance and either goes in debt or writes for more. Often the necessity to write home comes so often that it is the cause of new books or a Y. M. donation or who knows what is used to extract the money from dad. Here is where a student budget comes in. Plan out how much it takes to eat, live, and then you can easily see how many shows you can go to; how many dates you can have, and how many milked milks you can drink without have to send home for more money. It will be just as easy and dad will have a lot easier time in sending his son or daughter to school.
A department store in San Jose, California, should take the prize for advertising. On a recent date it used thirty-two pages of the San Jose Mercury-Herald.
EDUCATION AS A REMEDY
An excellent remedy for the Red menace is one which was recently proposed by Ren. John Stover of Lincoln, Kans., on the floor of the House, Representative Stover suggested that instead of allowing the foreigners who come to this country to be taught through the lips of agitators that they should be taught true Americanism in school provided by the government for that purpose. An objection to such a plan is that few of the foreign element could afford to take the time to attend night school or afternoon classes, but Mr. Stover would remove this objection by having them work half a day and go to school half a day until they had learned sufficient the ways of the United States, and during this time receive compensation from the government to an amount equal to meeting their expenses or to help in the support of their families.
Such a plan would do wonders in helping raise the standards of the foreigners in the United States from the very first and in time would probably wipe out all signs of bolsevism in this country. Of course, there would probably have to be a limit set on the length of time each person could take for his education and the matter of compensation would have to be regulated by a committee with careful judgment, for undoubtedly many of the ignorant class which migrates to this country would attempt to take advantage of such a plan. The expense of the project would probably seem enormous at first, but if the thing was successful it would, at least, cut down all cost of suppressing the sort of riots while it are no common at present.
The aim of a democracy is to establish the best form of government for all the people, but to reach this goal, every person under the government must be educated up to the ideals. As long as men of foreign birth who have not received as much education as the children in our grade schools, are allowed to come here and throw our government into a state of confusion the highest type of democracy will never be realized.

What would think of a woman
Question
From Spooner Library to the University Building
Where Asked
Eileen Van Zand, c20, Chanute:
"It would be very interesting and I
think a capable woman could fill the
office as well as a man. A good woman
would certainly be better than
a poor man."
Charles Slawson, c20, Girard—"don't think much of it. It's a woman's job and in my opinion no woman could fill it."
Cora, Snyder, c'23, Robinson—"I see no reason why a woman could not fill the office. Women have succeeded in all other lines of work that they understated and one should allow them to be successful, although it would be very unusual."
William Kirkpatrick, c. 20, Oswego "No indeed, we should not have a woman chancellor. It is not the place for a woman although there are no doubt some women who would have the ability to fill the office."
Answers
Florence Semon, c20, Lawrence—“That would all depend on the woman. I believe there are some women who would be capable to fill the office as well as it has been filled by men.”
Marvin Harms, c. 2018, "I guess it would be all right. If she were a woman with progressive ideas and could put new life into the University, I should be for her. Women are president of girls' colleges and so they should be able to handle a co-educational school, too."
Rudy Bauman, c'22, Wellington—"What we need at K. U. n now a man of strong character and much ability because the school is starting out on a new period of growth and it will take a man who wants to guide it and instill the students with the progressive college spirit."
Donald Joalin, "c31, Hugoton—I should not favor a woman chancellor because a woman would not be a "business man," and the University needs one to handle the financial end as well as the administrative
Kenneth Clark, c20, Lawrence—"I know no definite reason why we should not have a woman chancellor except that it simply is not done. It certainly would be good publicity for the school anyway."

This oyster appetite of the star fish is one of the greatest menaces to oyster beds in most localities. Sometimes a large school of star fish will clean out a whole oyster bed. The method of attack is very interesting. A man can not pry open an oyster shell without cutting it. You must shuffle shells together so the star fish cannot by direct pull effect the opening, but what he cannot do by strength he does by patience.
We'll go forth undfinishing to conquer the earth.—F. W. Clower, c23.
Mental Lapses
Different points of the starfish sieve hold of the opposite shells and a siege begins. The oyster holds tightly for some time, perhaps for nearly half a day, but it has no means of getting its empty outer surface out is forced to relax its muscles for rest. It then the waiting star fish reaches into the shells, envelopes the oyster and the shells are left empty.

"Now, boys," he yelled, his eyes flashing fire, "if you don't stop it I'll get mad in a minute. I am not very happy. But if you put an eat can you be sure that it's—"
"Closing time!" shouted a heckler, and the crowd went wild.—London Opinion.
The villan continued his restless pacing up and down the room. Occasionally he spat forth a revolting and blood-curdling imprecation. His cruel gray eyes shone as he again had been follled. He müttered incoherently to himself as he thought of the years he had spent only to be circumvented at every turn of the road. Ah! Some day his turn would come; he had done so before he turned her face from him so long would be on him once more. Yes. Some day he would get her and when he did-hi ground his teeth in impotent rage—his fingers opened and closed spacially. He would not have entered the booth. A few moments later he emerged. Once again he had failed. The fire of passion had died down—but still the determination to get her some tiring burned as brightly as it could have been even though the service is rotten." he had muttered, to himself as he dropped the receiver.
SEEING RED
We are given to fads and fashion in this country. Vast crazes overshelm us. A year ago it was the fun; two years ago we Hunt bats ourselves out of war; four years ago Belgiian relief; six years ago it was "social and industrial justice." Just now it is seeing Red. Always our crazes have a basis of common sense, but *wu* are such a big country that the psychological momentum of a hunch leads them to attack us. We fly the truck and go shooting into the beoby zone at a tangent. Just at the moment we are seeing Anarchists behind every bus we are suspecting every man who believes in the evolution of life upon the planet of Earth. We work our lives working ourselves into a chill about a revolution that is as remote as the return of the dragons! "Stand 'em up and shoot 'em" is as popular today in the public heart as "He kept us out of war" was three years ago and more common sense of the American people may be trusted in this social and economic interm between the old order and the new. The world, and the American world particularly, is full of folks who like to spout their folly. But it convinces no one. To the extent they are spouting, fool stuff they are spouting. When they talk violence, theools should be jailed; when they urge murder or arson, they are violating the law of Moses, and must be put up to cool off. But most of the things alleged against the so-called Rick is tommy-er. Our police is not incite anything to the boss lunch.
This country is based upon the common sense of common people, it never has failed. Sometimes it has been so overwhelmed that it crosses over us for a moment. But in the end God reigns and the government at Washington still lives. So quite seeing ghosts in the city is not something Red in the sky. Emporia Gazette.

NORMAN HACKETT
(Star of "Classmates" "Kick-In" Formerly with Louis James, Sothern and Marlowe)
AND AN EXCEPTIONAL CAST
"No American playwright has written such sparkling light comedy as Mr. Megrue in 'Tea for 3.' Fairly crackles with wit. New York Tribune, Sept. 20, 1918
“The are of NORMAN HACKETT has taken on depth and vitality. His work in ‘Tea for 3’ is worthy to place him shoulder up with the best actors on our stage. * * * * The cast is a gift of the gods.”
Seattle Post Intelligencer, Nov. 3, 1919
