Summer school attendance is small compared with that of the winter, and a party which would serve to widen the acquaintanceship of all members of the student body would be worthwhile. During the winter several all-University parties are held, besides the mid-week varsities, which are free. All activities which aid in establishing friendships and increasing contacts between members of the student body are valuable. A committee composed of a few faculty members and several students, and a representative of the Memorial Union Operating committee, could undertake an investigation of the possibility, and work out a plan so that the party could be an all-University project. Working together brings the individuals concerned intellectual stimulation, but playing together brings something much more valuable—friendship and a wealth of human understanding. The plan of an all-University party is an excellent one, and the only thing it needs is co-operation and interest on the part of students to be executed. --gay abandon, he pleaded for a sickle. He played in the grass three or four inches later and that night changed the word sickle to scythe. The man who says he stole $5,000 "just for fun" is remindful of the man who was on the witness stand for striking his mother-in-law over the head with a skillet—"Aw, yer honor, I was only foolin." O'ER THE MEADOW AND THROUGH THE WOODS Have you ever actually tried to find a needle in a hay stack? Such an obviously fruitless search would be preposterous under any circumstances, yet there are those on the campus who attempt that colossal task frequently. They are the golfers. You can see them out there in the waving meadows that used to lie fairways, plodding about, the tall grass swishing fondly about their knees. Some may not care for golf as a form of recreation, but nevertheless there are those who do, and if they have the courage and bulldog tenacity to get out in the broiling sun (broiling if you are wet with perspiration, baking if not) and hunt for balls on a rolling terrain that looks like a full grown wheat field, then about the only thing we can do, the only sportsmanlike thing to do, is to get down on our knees at bedtime and join in with the pellet-knockers in their fervent pleas for a grass mower of some kind. You can ask the Higher Powers for anything you think will do the job. If you know nothing about the various types of grass cutters here's a tip from one of the golf martrys himself. He said right at first he asked for a lawn mower, but as the grass flourished in Main Reading Room, Watson Library But the golfer has kept abreast of the times and yesterday when he strolled along with tall herbiage flicking his hips he went the limit. "Please, God," he said, "change that scythe to a combine." Apparently the pagans who married rocks and trees had nothing on Bh Rogers. Newspapers that handled the story seemed to feel he married a Rolls-Royce and a Pierce-Arrow. BE FRIENDLY! Now that the excitement of arrival and enrollment are over and each student is resigned or devoted to his work, as the case may be, there's one bit of advice that will bear repeating. Be friendly! It doesn't cost anything to let your fellow students know that you're a pretty decent sort of person after all. And you'll find out that there's lots of them willing to meet you half way. Start in at this job of being friendly the very first opportunity you get. Don't put it off until the heat has ruined your temper or you're so busy you haven't time to smile. The old saying that a smile will go a long, long, way.has lots of truth in it. Get the habit and you'll be a devotee the rest of your life. Try it on your profs, try it on your roommate, or try it on that good looking blonde that sits next to you. It never fails to work! And when you're walking across the campus don't be afraid to speak to the people who pass you. It makes no difference whether you know them or not—if you don't, so much the better. Step right up with a smile on your face a yard wide and say "howdy," "hello," "good morning," or "greetings"—the exact words make little difference. It's the way you say them that counts. And another point. Don't sit in class the entire semester with that "I've just-received news-that-my-best-friend-has-died" book on your countenance and say never a word to your classmates. They won't be disappointed if you forsake the role of a clam and act like a human being for a while. Be friendly! You'll be surprised at the results. Chicago is to protect the blind from motorists by giving them white canes. We hope the city wil now figure out something for the rest of us to use. The Campus Muse MYSTERY How melody could come From just a thing of wood I never understood, 'Til my heart, ecstatic, Swayed beneath your fingers, Learned a song that lingers, And then sang. SONG I have gone a hundred miles To hear one's singing Who put no song upon my lips Nor taught my heart a thing. I heard you speak one word— My heart was filled with song, My soul was taught a mystery Shall live my whole life long. Dorothy Durkee. Plain Tales A student in one of the summer session classes in journalism was describing a tour that she had taken through the offices and plant of the Kansas City Star. ... and one man explained to me that after the paper had gone to press it costs $14 just to change one word," the young lady added. And the instructor asked, "Well, I wonder what word that was?" Rent That Typewriter Now! Lawrence Typewriter Exchange Phone 548 737 Mass.
