STILL PRACTICABLE
"To Buy New Steel Tie," remarks a 'Topka headline. Fashions seem to become more radical every day.
What appeared to be the greatest fault with the new plan of reconstructing the Student Interests Committee now seems unable to be altered without changing the constitution of the University.
The general sentiment of the students was that the committee should have final jurisdiction upon the matters referred to it. However, according to the constitution, the Senate cannot turn any governing power over to a committee without still being responsible for the acts of that committee.
It is only a fair and just demand that the joint board of faculty and students should have final power of action. From the beginning of the agitation for a change in government the students have almost unanimously asked this Experience with the quibbling and dilatory tactics of the Senate did not win favor for a final review by that body.
At present, however, it seems impossible that the constitution can be altered. Under existing conditions the plan decided upon, whereby ten student representatives with equal vote are to be added to the present Student Interests Committee, appears to be the best method of gaining student representation.
The new Students Interest Committee will have the greatest amount of power any committee can possibly have under the present constitution. Since the faculty members are also members of the University Senate it is barely possible that the Senate will reverse any of the committee's actions.
While there may be faults in the present plan, it nevertheless seems to be the best remedy yet suggested. The way it may prove of greater value is for both the students and faculty to actually strive for greater harmony between the two great bodies of the
University they represent. And to back this all up the Senate must uphold the acts of the joint committee.
"The Quill Club will be disguised an old English flower girls," it is announced. Will the men in this organization be among the disguised ones?
DO YOU REMEMBER?
Around the dinner table the other night, they unexpectedly began to talk about books. Some one had been reading a naughty monthly and had found it less thrilling than usual.
"Do you know," she said, "I never will enjoy anything as much as 'Five Little Peppers.'"
“你 mean 'The Wizard of Oz,'” said somebody else. “It had all the rest of 'em beat to nothing. Remember the scarrow with his red pin-cushion heart?'
"And the Alger books," interrupted the demurem girl in the house. "My folks wouldn't let me read them, but I borrowed them one by one from the little boy across the aisle, and we read them inside our geographies."
"I never liked boy's books," objected the society bud. "They were too full of how to make money instead of how to spend it. I liked the boarding school books, where the girls went to the theater in New York, and to Europe in the summer."
"The only boarding school story I ever read clear through, declared Mr. Alger's admirer, was "Mary Robert's Rinehart's 'Bab,' and that wasn't exactly a boarding school story."
"I'll bet there's one book none of you ever read through," said some one else. "Pilgrim's Progress."
"Oh, yes," said the devotee of "Five Little Peppers." "Did your mother offer you a dollar if you'd read the whole thing? Mine did. That is, she promised a dollar to which ever of us read it through first, but I caught Jimmy skipping chapters, and so neither of us finished it."
"And did they try to get you to read Dickens?" rejoined somebody else. "They made me read him, and I cried all night when little Nell died. That made mother feel so bad, I never had to read any more good literature till I was in high school." "That was nothing to the time," began the Alger lady.
Just then the door bell ragh, and the early arrival of an after-dinner guest brought the thoughts of the group back to more immediate matters.
But—do you remember?
NEEDED. A GLEE CLUB
A men's glee club is perhaps not egarded as one of the vital parts of school, but almost all universities nd colleges have them.
In past years, the University of Kansas has supported a glee club worthy of the name. It is true the club did not make enough money in all cases to finance itself. However, the resulting advertising from the trips, were considered as more than paying for the slight deficit.
In the S.A.T.C. period, the plan for a glee club was not practical. Now the University has started back to the pre war basis, yet the matter of a glee club has been neglected by the students. Would not the University derive the same amount of benefit now, as in the past?
APPLYING THEIR FAITH
The Methodist Church has raised a land of one hundred and five million dollars with which to help meet the problems of the reconstruction period. This enormous sum is to be used in the following way: forty millions will be given to foreign missions, forty to home missions and twenty-five have been allotted to be spent in Europe and in America, half in each.
The first of these problems is Bollevism. The church is now trying to extend its work among those who have immigrated to this country and o place the Christian religion among the changes of the believers in hat theory.
The problems to be solved are combating Bolshevism supplanting the community church for the saloon, and combating the land tenancy problem.
Mr. W. A. Brown explains the saloon problem in his discussion on "The Spiritual Challenge of the Centenary." In this talk he says, "The persons who use saloons as community centers are better than the persons who have kept religion out of those towns where there are no churches and who have failed to build churches to bring to the realization of those who frequent the saloons that the church is a more enjoyable place to meet your fellow men socially than is the saloon."
The third great problem is the solution of the land tenancy problem. The Methodist Church considers this
question to be one of the hardest. The land tenancy has increased very greatly in the last ten years especially in Ohio, Kansas and Missouri.
This movement of a great church towards what might be called Applied Christianity, will be watched for interest and good will by everybody.
Readable Verse
VISITING
Oh, you pack and start with a light
some heart
For a week-end out of town,
For you need some sport on the links and coast.
And the carls don't run your way,
And you take more drink than you
can eat.
And your muscle's running down;
And the sport's all right, but you
dance all night,
And you play and play and play!
And you like the sporting spirit, but,
From Kalamazoo to Nome.
Oh, you pack your grip for a Sunday trip
"Gad, I wish we were home!"
You say to your wife when the doc is shut.
With the ax and stamp and the creaking pump $p$
To the ancient family farm,
creaking jump
And the simple country charm;
And you breathe the air, and you wisely stare
wisely store At the calf and colt and kit.
And you eat more food than is wholly good.
And you sit—and sit—and sit!
And you love the dear old people, but
From Kalamazoo to Nome.
You say to your wife when the door is shut.
Gad, I wish we were honourable
—Juliet Wilbor Tomkins in Life
is snut,
"Gad, I wish we were home!"
Other Opinions
URGES IMMEDIATE ADOPTION
To the Kansan;
Members of the University Senate have repeatedly stated that the cause of the present unrest and dissatisfaction among students was a lack of co-operation between students and faculty and the inability of the Senators to solve the problem. We have said that if they knew what the students wanted they would do all within their power to adjust the many differences which now exist.
The Joint Committee on Student Affairs, which has been proposed "passes the buck" to the Senate. I provides a logical medium for exchange of opinion and should be just what the Senate has been wanting but we must wait to see what force the recommendations of this committee will have. It will not take long to show if some of our student representatives are given due consideration, and also if the faculty members on this committee are willing to meet the situation in the fair-minded, rational manner which is necessary for successful operation of the plan.
A "square deal" for the student body demands the immediate adoption of this plan and its impartial application to the problems and differences which are doing so much understance University spirit and unity.
PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS FOR COLLEGE ENTRANCE
A radical educational experiment in applied psychology, whose results will be watched with intense interest by institutions of learning all over the world, is announced to go into effect at Columbia University, New York, in September. It will substitute psychological tests, to measure the students' general intelligence and mental alertness, for the old system of entrance examinations which gaged only his scholarship. These mental tests for candidates for entry into the academic department of Columbia, are based on the famous Binet-Simon system, an adaptation of which has already been used for the Students' Army Training Corps. Behind Columbia's move, is the conviction that there is a considerable waste in using the expensive plant and operating force of an institution of higher education on great numbers of students who are incapable of profiting seriously by higher education—Literary Digest.
A Senior
The doctor coughed gravely. "I am sorry to tell you," he said, looking down at the man in the bed suffering from smallpox.
The patient turned on his pillows and looked up at his wife. "Julia, if any of my creditors call, tell them something." The man then them something. "Kansas City Star."
War Department Asks Information Concerning Men In Medical Reserve
Investigate Status of Students Transferred from Inactive to Active Service
In regard to the status of the enlisted members of the Medical Reserve Corps here, Captain Hatch, commandant of the S. A. T. C. here, quoted the following telegram from the War Department to the Inspector of the Ninth District:
The Commanding General has not as yet called on me for the data that he will require to issue orders on this subject. It will be readily understood that before certifying men under this order I will have to have all possible information in each individual case. Inasmeh as the S. A. T. C. units have been demobilized and in most cases the Commanding Officer has been either discharged or transferred it will be necessary for every official having any knowledge of the facts on this subject to co-operate with me to the end that men entitled to recognition under this ruling shall receive it. It is, therefore, requested that I be furnished at once with a statement, separate for each man, which embodies the following information:"
"Referring to letter of October 3rd directing order to active duty and transfer to S. A. T. C. of students in the enlisted reserve corps, it appears that such students were in many cases ordered to military duty by S. A. T. C. commanding officers and that transfers of such men were not completed by your office before signing of the armistice. In order to establish active duty status of these men you will confirm and cause to be published orders to active duty as of date when those men reported for active duty with S. A. T. C. units in compliance with instructions of local S. A. T. C. officers; this action will be taken only in case of men whose names were reported to you by commanding officers for transfer in accordance with instructions of the Secretary of War, dated September 29. You will accept statement of S. A. T. C. District Inspecting Officer as evidence of date on which such men reported for active duty in compliance with instructions of Commanding Officer: The men concerned will be considered to have been relieved from active duty and returned to the inactive status at the same time that other men in similar circumstances who have received their orders for active duty through proper channels were discharged or returned to inactive status and you will publish the necessary orders. The statements of the Commanding Officers of the S. A. T. C. officer, the Inspector Officer of each district in which each unit was constituted will be accepted as evidences of the date on which the men were de facto relieved from active duty. This order will apply to the enlisted Reserve Corps of the Medical Department, the Engineer Corps, the Quartermaster Corps, the Signal Corps, and the Ordnance Department. Steps will be taken to effect the discharge from military service of the men concerned in any case where they have not already been discharged in accordance with existing War Department instructions for the discharge of members of the enlisted Reserve Corps or inactive status."
The information spoken of consists of data of enlistment, place and time of transfer to active duty, and any other reasons why a person is to the case of men in reserve forces.
"The telegram quoted above is all the information that this office has on this subject. I am not prepared to answer questions as to payment for service, and to what, if any, extent the statement of the claim of institution will be affected," Captain Hatch said this morning.
