Unrollment Memory,or 'Who Took My Cards'
I don't think I'll ever forget the day—it seems like only yesterday because it was only yesterday—that I transferred from a little agricultural school and went down to KU to "unroll" for what they call the spring semester.
In order that I can tell about it better I think I should start from the beginning, which is where it all started, you see.
The first thing I done was to go into a big schoolhouse which was known by the name of Strong Hall, which it was, I do believe. It would take more than an ordinary tornado to jar that building.
When I got inside the first thing I had to do was to fill out a whole lot of little cards which were all strung up together-like. They were
Well, as soon as I had finished filling out all of those cards I had to follow along past several stations at which I had my picture took and lost all my cards. Then I had to stand in line to pay my fees, which I believe were some sort of a penalty for a-losing all of those cards.
After I had paid my penalty I thought I had finished unrolling and was ready to start going to school, but it turned out that I wasn't. A nice young man stopped me and asked me if I knew where I was going next, and I didn't.
] He told me I would have to go over to the Student Union. "If it's anything like the Farmer's Union, I know it's all right." I told him.
When I got to the Student Union, I could see that it was another one of those great big schoolhouses, and when I got inside I found out why it was called the Student Union because that's where all the students were.
Right away as soon as I got there I went into this big room which had tables and important-looking people spread all over the floor, and I knew at once that this was where the unrolling was to take place.
As soon as I went in the door, a dignified gentleman had me sit down, and he began to tell me what was that I would have to take. He did.
When he was through with me, he sent me up into a sort of a hayloft that ran around the outside of this room. It was where the trouble started.
The whole hayloft was full of young men and young women who were all crowding around these little tables, which I found out was where they was to get their classes.
It was a terrible thing. These young men and young women would push one another and shove one another and hit one another and knock one
As far as I was able to understand the object was to see who could unrolled the quickest in the least number of classes without getting knocked down or stepped on.
another down, and as soon as one would get finished and out the door two more would come crowding in from the other direction.

Well, I got through faster than I thought I would, but when I got outside I ran into the biggest bunch of hucksters I have ever seen since the county fair last fall. They wanted me to buy books or tickets and join all sorts of outfits, and the thing that surprised me was that not one fellow was selling balloons.

to join the Chi Omegas, as I had heard they had some nice people, so I stopped to ask a fellow about where I could apply to join them.
"Buddy, have a drink!" the fellow said.
And I did. I went right down and had a big coffee.

IllinoisPlacesRedStamp OnChildren'sFairyTales
Springfield, Ill—(U.P.)—The words "this book is for adult readers" have been stamped in red ink across state library copies of "Pilgrim's Progress" and fairy tales by Hans Christian Andersen, it was reported today.
2016 Learnard
They were among dozens of books given a "Red flag" in a campaign by Secretary of State Charles Carpentier to "make it impossible for school children to obtain smut."
The list also included Jules Verne's "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," "Jane Eyre," "Wuthering Heights," "The Good Earth," "The Girl of the Golden West," and others, it was reported.
The stampings meant that community libraries throughout Illinois, which obtain books from the big state collection, will not be given the marked books unless an adult reader submits a request to read them.
A spokesman for the secretary o
state's office admitted that "Wonder Stories Told for Children" and "Stories for Children" by Andersen, long dead Danish story teller, had been stamped.
Earlier, Carpentier had ordered all books "relating to sex" withdrawn from circulation after a mother protested about a novel her daughter checked out of a local library.
But he said it was only done through an error and indicated the classification might be removed.
He later accused his staff of career workers in the state library of trying to make him look "ridiculous" by carrying out his order with undue zeal. He said a new plan, that of restricting objectionable material to adults, would be used.
Yesterday was evidently the first day of the plan. Newsmen learned that employees were busy going through the library stacks, welding the red ink stamps.
