What It Means
Factually speaking, this is Religious Emphasis week. This assertion is nearly always followed by the question, "What is Religious Emphasis week?" The question can be given several answers.
About 50 per cent of our campus population considers Religious Emphasis week as an extravaganza of especially decorated piety, to be ignored with emotions scaling from resentment, through amusement and tolerance, to respect.
A smaller and sadder portion of our fellowship regards the activities of Religious Emphasis week as another demand upon the faithful, to be participated in doggedly until the last reverberation of the final benediction has been purged from the air and our customary atmosphere of wholesome cynicism prevails once more.
The rest of the students have had some contact with the construction of Religious Emphasis week that makes them affectionate toward it, prayerful for its worthiness, and hopeful for its significance.
Religious Emphasis week is a project of the combined campus religious groups. Those who work and worry to bring it to life like to think of it not as a project, but as a contribution to the fullness of living at the University.
Involved in the planning have been students with a great conviction of the truth and necessity of religion; students who feel we need the kind of constructive attitude that religious thinking, ideally, inspires; students with purely intellectual interest in religious ideas; students with luminous -visions; students with dark questions.
These persons, have this, representative of all their best hopes for our generation, to offer you—Religious Emphasis week—a part of your education.-J. C.
Go to It, Boys
Once upon a time there lived a hunter who was barely able to keep body and soul together. He faithfully set his traps, but day after day he decided to send his pack of hound dogs to hunt for him. They surpassed all his expectations, and brought back an immense amount of the hunter's favorite meats. The hunter was profuse in his thanks to the dogs, and gave each of them a shiny new collar.
As he sat down to the dinner table piled high with choice meats that evening, he told his wife what a wonderful pack of dogs he owned. Then he remembered. The hound dogs hadn't been fed! Grabbing a biscuit off the platter, the hunter hurriedly threw it out the door to the dogs and said, beamingly, "There, eat till ya' bust!"
Uncle Sam is like the hunter. He meets the returning veterans at the coasts, slaps them on the back, and calls them jolly, good fellows. And then, in answer to their questions, he tells them confidently that he is sure they can find—well several empty houses in their community (for several hundred soldiers)—L.C.
The three monkeys that spoke no evil, heard no evil and saw no evil will kindly move over to make room for Yamashita.
Rock Chalk Talk
By TERRY HERRIQTT
Trackster. Tom Young has had his shares of ups and downs. While he was visiting K.C. university, the other day he became over-anxious and tripped coming down the stairs, falling five flights. Evidently he was also extremely hungry that day. Running for the cafeteria at noon he slipped and slid in line.
New Car? People are beginning to wonder where the "Hurst" has gone and what in the world that 1912 model with the burlap top is doing out in front of the Phi Gam house.
Overdoing it. It seems like the Dolts have a lot of ways of entertaining their dates when they go out. At one time one of the fellows had just helped his date in the car, walked around in front and ran into the front fender. Later in the evening he laughed so hard his jaw locked. Then he lit a cigaret and let the ashes burn a hole in his suit. The last episode was when he pulled the cigaret out of his mouth and took off half his lip.
Kansas History. There was a little girl living in New York who thought Kansas was still wild and woolly, overrun by Indians. One night her father broke the news to the family that they were moving to Kansas.
It was printed in a New York paper and the Kansans took offense and rebuked the statement saying it must have been a misprint and that it should have read like so: "Good, by God, we're moving to to Kansas."
Month's Book Report. Scholars in the reading and interpretation class were ordered to hand in reports on two books to be read over the holidays. Some of the students didn't take to the assignment, as evidenced by the following report reprinted in full:
That same night the little girl said a prayer which went something like this: "Goodbye God, we're moving to Kansas."
Satisfied. One coed was exclaim-over another's new sparkler, acquired over the holidays.
"Discovering Poetry" by Elizabeth Drew—I didn't.
"Enjoyment of Poetry" by Max Eastman—I don't.
Finally she said, "Well, I didn't get a diamond, but once I had a date."
Since "Mouse" Johnson, Phi Psi, had his wife up to visit him, friends have been saying, "The mice were in town."
