How To Graduate
1. Bring the professor newspaper clippings dealing with his subject.
Demonstrate fiery interest and give him time items to mention to the class. If you can't find clippings dealing with his subject, bring in any clippings at random. He thinks everything deals with his subject.
2. Look alert. Take notes eagerly.
If you look at your watch, don't stare at it unbelievingly and shake it.
3. Nod frequently and murmur, "How true."
To you, this seems exaggerated. To him, it's quite objective.
4 Sit in front, near him.
(Applies only if you intend to stay awake.) If you're going to all the trouble to make a good impression, you might as well let him know who you are, especially in a large class.
5. Laugh at his jokes.
You can tell. If he looks up from his notes and smiles expectantly, he has a joke.
You don't have to read it. Just ask.
6. Ask for outside reading.
7. If you must sleep, arrange to be called at the end of the hour.
It creates an unfavorable impression if the rest of the class has left, and you sit there alone, dozing.
8. Be sure the book you read during the lecture looks like the book from the course.
If you do math in psychology classes, and psychology in math classes, match the books for size and color.
9. Ask questions you think he can answer.
Conversely, avoid announcing that you have found the answer to a question he couldn't answer, and in your younger brother's second grade reader at that.
10. Call attention to his writing.
This produces an exquisitely pleasant experience connected with you. If you know he's written a book or an article, ask in class if he wrote it.
As to whether or not you want to do some work in connection with all this, well, it's controversial and up to the individual.

Next, Please
The Kansas "loyalty oath act" is in effect, and state officials have by now signed a statement that they are not members of any organization seeking the overthrow of the government.
The future of our own loyalty oath law might be seen in the fate of New Jersey's "Ober law"—both acts are similar.
in ruling the "Ober law" unconstitutional, Judge Joseph Sherbow of the Baltimore Circuit court writes our editorial for today:
"It violates the basic freedoms guaranteed by the first and fourteenth amendments of the United States Constitution, and due process under the Constitution and declaration of rights, and is too general for a penal statute.
"The state may not legislate on the thoughts of its citizens. The United States supreme court has made it clear that laws may punish acts and conduct which clearly, seriously and imminently threaten substantive evils.
"They may not intrude into the realm of ideas, religious and political beliefs and opinions.
"The law deals with overt acts, not thoughts. It may punish for acting, but not for thinking.
"As stated by justice Jackson (of the United States Supreme court):
'If there is any fixed start in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.'
The court test of the "Ober law" was brought by 10 college instructors, business and professional men. What are we waiting for here in Kansas?
"Small Things"
—JWS
Rush week is over, and despite the fact that some rushees had several offers, all the houses got "every last pledge we wanted."
The music department expressed anguish a couple of years ago when Jazz at the Philharmonic played at K. U. Now that Spike Jones is coming soon, shouldn't Watkins hospital get the apoplexy kits ready?
"I'm just a typical, average American girl," burbles the new "Miss America," and in her heart of hearts, does she really mean it?
Brave New World: In our day, we modestly banged away at Dillinger, King Kong and the Indians with our Tom Mix six shooter (be a straight-shooter) but the modern child can reduce the entire neighborhood to rubble with a few well aimed "zaps" from his Cosmic ray-Atomic disintegrator pistol.

Fire Burns On River Front
Portland, Ore., Sept. 22.—(U.P.) Fire broke out in a riverfront business district block, swept through two five-story buildings and damaged three others before it was brought under control with loss estimated at $150,000.
Sixteen engine companies, fire truck companies and 260 off-shift firemen responded to three alarms. Hundreds of spectators gathered across the street from the Oregon Journal building to watch the firemen as they attacked the blaze from four sides of the block. Huge billows of smoke poured over the city.
