Dutch Wedel as toastmaster introduced the speaker of the meeting, Dr. A. M. Trawick, of the Scrritt Bld. Training and School of, Kansas City, Mo, who has recently returned Y, M. C. M., a convention in Des Moines.
Dr. Trawick began his speech by making the prophecy that the work begun at the luncheon would be a success, because so much interest was displayed. At the convention, he said, the great strength for men is their social and cultural life was clearly brought out.
"Do the students have a right to express their interests and beliefs is regard to world-wide religious interests?" asked Mr. Truckle.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, THURSDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 15, 1920
"Personally I believe that they have a right to their own expression and to be heard, and I believe that Mr. Wilder, who is general secretary for the Student Volunteer Movement, also believes that the students are to work. I believe the students are to be trusted with the message and the work of the
the "indiasat" world. Today the war world has assisted in a world opinion among the students of the United States. Students will express their ideas in their own way. The tendency now is to the old type of phraseology that uses the universes and colleges express happenings and affaire of interest as the Will of God, but the Program of God! It shows a changed thought in expression and feeling. Today the student lives in this way, and I believe that it is right that he should do so.
"The students want to do a service to the wide world, and as such they are making all their work have a world significance. No longer does the student want a chance at heroism, but rather a better place to live in by cleaning up that part in which his influence may have some power."
The luncheons are to be made a regular weekly affair and will be given on Thursday noons. It is the plan of the management to have speakers of merit at all the meetings. W. Y. Morgan, A. W. White Gov. Allen, and C. F. Scott, are some of the speakers to be here soon.
Any suggestions by men who believe they have some good speeches in mind who can be seen, speak well, be prominent, Wedell, who is to be present tomaster.

Mr. Wattles read several of his poems and gave the circumstances under which he wrote them. Particularly interesting were those surrounding the poem "Autumn Hills of Funston." "Up on the Hills of Funston," Some lady in California objected to the setting and in response he wrote "Autumn Hills of Funston." Another which greatly pleased the author, is that the ladies was the which is that the people who appeal to him are those who look you squarely in the eye and express a spindled personality in their handshake. In his "Lunters of Gethsemani" he loved the life and life of immortality.
Mr. Wattles also, advanced a few of his ideas on reconstruction which holds his particular interest at present.

POLITICS RULE PAPERS
German Newspapermen Mus Have Party Affiliations to Enjoy Government
To belong to a political party in Germany is to have the backing of definite newspaper behind your view according to Con Hoffman, forme waffle worker in the prison camp of Germany during the war, who spoke on the Newspapers of German before the comparative journalis class of the University this morning.
"Papers state the party they favor, in very definite terms," said Mr Hoffman. "The specific political parties are recognized and the news given from the viewpoint of these parties. The newspapers of Germany receive strong backing from the government."
"In Germany there are not a number of special editions each day we have in our large American cities," said Mr. Hoffman "The maximum is three editions a day; one in the morning, one at noon and one in the evening, and often the more edible are published under a different name."
The Sunday issue is a little larger than the week day issue and contains no feature supplement, no society news and a comparatively small space to sports. Not only does the paper size change, it adds new pages, but the pages are small in size.
Mr Ho'sman brought back an excellent collection of German newspapers when he left the war sector to accept the position as general secretary of the University branch of the Y. M. C. A.
Mr. Hoffmann's talk was the third of a series to be given concerning foreign newspapers.

They got away to a better start in the second game, however, and at the end of the first half, were four points in the lead. They trooped off to the dressing room for a little talk with their coach, and a study up to the coach, with a note. He opened it and read it to the team.

At the Washburn game in Robinson gyn last Thursday night, an old K. U., football star, who had returned to look over K. U., basketball hopes, counted forty-three women that were present. And he didn't stop counting until the game was over, either.
Basketball is an interesting game. There is nothing slow about it. It somewhatParallel's football in speed of action, and is continued rather than intermittent, as is the pig skink sport. Skill and science are developed to the utmost extent. Brawn is not a need-ess quidification, and strive strength is a disadvantage. The actions of the player shown in close-up perspective, and everything can be followed closely.

There are only eight Valley basketball games in Lawrence this season. Two of them are with Ames this Friday and Saturday, and Missouri (invesde Robinson next weekend, bent on returning to Tigersport) is the last game. The other four games are the last four of the season, along in March.

It happened thus. Willy belongs to the party of the reds. Seized with ambition, he began to study short-handed, thinking thereby he could a live, a livelier man. He sounded unmistakably in annotate the chimneys. He waxed proficient, for he was a rather bright boy. He went to a Spartacist meeting, and began taking notes as Louis Zieft, fiery orator, apoke. Now in all well regulated Spartacist meetings, no notes are taken—not even when they are immediately spotted for a app.
The rest of the story is simple, but painful, the meeting arose as one and proceeded to beat the shorthand out of Witney's eye. In the assembly had dissolved, for the members felt certain their "spy" would report them.
Plain Tales From The Hill
According to a professor on the hill there are four classes of men students:
It has been said according to the Kansas City Star, that the way college women comb their hair these days makes them look like George Elliott. And Browning said that George Elliot looked like a horse.
1. Those who smoke on the campus.
2. Those who smoke off the camp-
3. Those who don't smoke at all.
4. Those who will smoke in the barrafter.
College Inn—"Please Excuse me for peaking with my mouth open", said he fair young dame.
I wonder what the world is coming to anyway, if you must close your mouth to talk in order to comply with good manners.
A fraternity on the hill had been talking about having the Mr. Grainer to the chapter house for dinner Tuesday. One of the members of the frat had listened to the talk and finally volunteered, "Well, who is this Mr. Grainer anyway? Is he a Lawrence man or a freshman on the Hill?"
"Do you know about all we do in this 'ere senate meeting is to talk and talk, and then about 5:00 o'clock, when we begin to get hungry, we speak to what we do and something 'ish." That is what he said—we have proof.
A down town merchant in his attempt to entertain Percy Gerey Tuesday afternoon invited him to go with him to the Pattee.
The numerous hold-ups occurring in Lawrence bring to mind the one which was staged in the back yard of a well-known fraternity house last week. Two clothespins held up a shirt.
The newest way made public to disinquish between Professor Hunte of the department of psychology and Professor Hunter who teaches entomology, is the "internal bug-hunter" and the "external bug-hunter".
"Yes," said a geology student, "you cannot tell accurately how old the ocean is by the amount of salt in it for it may not make sense." Mr. Moore, "and
prav tell is where it would go."
"Why. Why...the fishes must use some of it," was the answer.
A student was explaining centrifugal force. "Now you know when you ride on a merry-go-round, well that's it."
Famous last lines: Pray for me boys, I'm going over to burn incense to Professor Boynton.

"I was covered more money and the only thing I could do was to accept," said Mrs Esterly when interviewed this morning.

That is why I am pleased and I regret leaving more keenly than I can tell."

"The University will lose one of its tacit valued workers in the leave," she added. Eaterly,引导Chancellor Strong.
