VALUE OF INFORMALITY
Today's biggest liar: The candidate who says he voted for his opponent.
Does it pay for the instructors to know their students? Many students remain in a class for an entire semester and at the end of that time would hardly feel free to walk up to their instructor and talk to him on a friendly topic. This is particularly true in large classes. Where there are so many members the teacher has little time to give to each student individually and thus does not learn what good any one person is getting from the course. This fact is also more evident in lecture classes than in the more informal laboratory work. Most students prefer to be in small classes where their instructors hold personal interviews and give them individual aid. By doing this they become acquainted with one another, the teacher learns where he can give help and the student feels freer to ask for it. It is hard in a class of forty or fifty for an instructor to remember every member of it, but if the students are more careful to always speak to him and make an effort to know him the class will grow more congenial and a great deal of that stiff formality will soon be lost.

turday night started after midnight.

WHEN TAMPERING FAILS
The Russian peasantry now on the verge of reaction against Bolshevism which has discouraged religion and repudiated Christian tenets, may yet figure in the ultimate death-blow to the red regime.
Any movement designed to lead a people away from established religious custom and beliefs, is doomed to failure. Every age of history has produced social reformers who have met with noteworthy success until flushed with victory, and exalted with the belief of their own infailability have struck at the prevailing religio- our conceptions. Such attacks invariably have marked the beginning of their decline.
Men will listen to ideas of political, social and economic reform, but they will not depart from their concepts of religion and morality. The work of such reformers as Saint-Simon, Fourier, and Robert Owen in the early eighteenth century might well have made a more lasting and deeper impression had these men not departed in their teachings from the historical religious practices.
The analogy holds true. By
droving home life, by encouraging it not legalizing promiscuity, and by engaging otherwise in accepted temperament with accepted precepts of Christianity. Bolshieva has chosen one of the surest means of self destruction.
All that is lacking to make student politics complete as a presidential campaign is an inauguration day.
UP BEFORE JUDGMENT
If capital punishment were ever justifiable it would be now for the men who are found guilty of the bomb plots which have been directed against the government and its respected citizens from time to time. For a man or a group of men which attempts to murder government in such a red-handed way is not worthy of as much consideration as the cold-blooded murders of individuals.
It is these bomb plotners who give the direction and enthusiasm to the Reds of America and which incribes them to secretly undermine the free institutions which have been reared out of several generations of practical experience. They are of the same type as the former brain brazed autocrat of Prussia, only they are moving in a slightly different direction. By their methods of terrorism they are gathering a similar following which is attempting to drain the life blood of America and inject, in its place, an intoxicating substitute with a terrible reaction.

THE POLITICIANS
THIS PENITENT
We walk across the campus now,
On good advice and bad,
One sign says, "Vote for Juil
Has given place in his young dome,
For office holding slosh.
One sign says, "Vote for Juliu Howe."
Another placard drives it home,
That William Solivins, Frost

a little Sorrow.
And so it goes year after year, They always find someone.
HOW do I know the lad?
Born of a little Sin.
I found room all damp with glcorns.
And shut us all within;
And "Little Hormep, wore," said I,
"And, Little Sin, pray God to die.
And I upon the floor will lie
Who'll let his fair young name appear
With those who wish to "Run."
But if we had no politics, Wolf howe on David.
Women have a tremendous influence in the University of Nebraska. One was elected president of the Senior class.
The University of Iowa may require every woman to be able to swim before her diploma will be awarded to her.
We'd have no Presidents. We'd be in one outlandish fix. Without that kind of gents
We walk across the campus now
Also for pious planning—
It mattered not a whit!
On Other Hills
I raise the question who would get. The profit that is made,
The customary blue and orange freshmen caps made their initial appearance for the season on the heads of Baker University freshmen Saturday.
On Junior Proms, wherein the net Puts oil stock in the shade.
Af far as gloom went in that room,
The lamp might have been lit
Might have been turned off.

Women students at the University of Missouri gave $2,393.25 to Stephens College in Columbia, in the recent campaign for that school.
My graceless mind on it!
Herbert Hoover, who was graduated from Leland Stanford University in 1895, gave his first public expression on behalf of the Nations at his alma mater October 31.
Because of crowded conditions, the University of Colorado will admit no more freshmen until the second semester. Students who have a year or more of college work will be allowed to enroll.
The University of Michigan has a new women's dormitory which will accommodate seventy-five students. It was built through the generosity of a Detroit man who also expects to furnish dormitories named in honor of the donor's mother.
MUSIC AND COWS
Farmers everywhere will doubtless be in interested in the statement that cows milked to music give more milk than those milked in silence. The cows that have been conducted at the Electrochimical New York, where the cows were not only milked to music but milked by electricity; and skeptics will perhaps wonder what would be the result if the cow were milked by hand while the cows were milked by Mozart and Beethoven among the composers whose work dignified the hour and increased the flow of milk. But here again the skeptic may argue that the particular cows at the expposition may have been musical, not artistic, and have to be experimented with before music became a factor in dairying.
AN ODD GIFT
Perhaps as odd a gift as any that has gone from the United States to Europe was shipped, the other day, from New York City to Antwerp. It wore a black coat and kinds of birds and fifty-three different kinds of reptiles, a present from the New York Zoological Society to the Royal Zoological Garden at Antwerp Before the war the Antwerp Zoo had one of the finest collections in Europe, for it kept the upkeep of the zoo a dispensable luxury, and the end of the war found it depleted. The members of the New York Zoological Society evidently saw an opportunity of helping the Antwerp Zoo to return to normal conditions before the Olympics began, year fill the city with visitors Christian Science Monitor.

ADVERTISING A COLLEGE
One of the freshmen has taken to wearing a mackinaw t keep his ears warm.
Action of the Student Affairs Committee, of Indiana University, debarring certain expert players from the variability football team in the furtherance of discipline and scholarship has not only aroused objection among Indiana alumni who are solicited for admission but also prestige of the university, but it is not the general interest in the question as to how far athletics should be made use of to advertise a university with a view to attract prospective students. In the Indiana case, the chairman of the faculty athletic committee seems to have admitted fately to a course that would cause "this branch of the university does more to get the school before the people of the State than any other agency." And no doubt his statement is true of most of the educational institutions, irrespective of grape, that make any pretensions to proficiency possible. The statement is generally true is one thing; whether it ought to be true is another matter—Christian Science Monitor.
A query is going around the Kansas press endeavoring to ascertain why, if the tomato is a vegetable, the dealers charge fruit prices for it.
America can look for a large inflow of Bolsheviks in the near future Germany has just imported fat supplies for the manufacture of soap.
A student who was a former gorgo says that the government is violating the pure advertising law with ts campaign about the navy.
It's a cynic indeed, who isn't opti
mistic about the future of K. U. after
reading the platforms on the class
tickets. It is fortunate there are al-
ways some persons willing to sacri-
cify themselves for the benefit of their
class or to make a better Junior Prom

The young men's store
YOU'RE all young men these days when it comes to clothes. We have styles that are called "young men's styles;" and others, more conservative and quiet, that are called "men's styles."
But we notice that these dont always go by ages; some men of 25 want the quieter models; some men of 50 or 60 like the snappy stuff. But they all want to look smartly dressed.
Hart Schaffner & Marx models are for men of all ages and tastes; and we have sizes to fit men of all figures
