Off-Campus Joe
When Joe College leaves school with an A.B. degree and a B.M.O.C. reputation, he's ready to offer his highly-praised ability to a campus much larger and more important than the one of his Alma Mater.
On the new campus Joe will get himself a job which provides something near an adequate wage. It won't be like his main job at school —academic work; if he fluffs up the works, he'll get the gate. There'll be no special tutors, probationary periods, or excuses such as "Well, Joe's such a busy fellow—on all the committees and everything."
Since Joe's expected to be on the job every day, he finds he has to cut down on clubs, organizations, and after-work hour affairs. He'll also find that it's the kind of work you put out in an organization that pays off—not the number of things you're listed for. He'll learn it pays to stick to the things he's most interested in and can do best.
Why don't we take a tip from the man in the off-campus world? Why should students go through college spreading themselves out thin over church, governing, departmental, athletic, music, and all forms of extra-curricular activities for the sake of a B.T.O. name, a chance for a nervous breakdown, and a four-inch list of activities in the Jay-hawkter?
There are plenty of positions and chances for membership in campus organizations; there are plenty students to take advantage of them. There is neither lack of supply or demand—only lack of distribution.
The activities point system presented to students by the All-Student Council last year seemed to be on the right track.
Book Larnin' Out?
Students no longer have the respect for "book larnin" they had 50 years ago, says Dr. Daniel W. Pearce, head of the department of psychology at Kent State university.
"The trend in education now is to appease the student instead of seeing to it that he does learn what he should, as our parents had to do a generation ago," he explained.
In contrast with men like Abe Lincoln who walked miles through the snow to borrow and return books, university students of today hesitate to walk a block to get a book from the campus library, the professor added. (Associated College Press)
A thorough study of whodunit mysteries reveals that nearly every angle has been used—even to the one where the author is the culprit. But we've still got one up our sleeve, so don't be surprised when you read a thriller some day and find that you (the reader) is the guy whodunit.
Governor of Nebraska, Dwight Griswold, said he became a candidate for the United States Senate because his state needs an alert, aggressive, fighting representative at Washington—an alert member at a Congressional session would be worth watching, at least.
The worst way to improve the world is to improve it.
Rock Chalk Talk
Please sir, could you tell me . . .
OR Anything to oblige. After a confusing Chemistry lecture on molarity and molality Vivian Rogers approached the instructor after class with a bewildered expression and queried, "Would you please explain this morality business to me?"

Mamma's little helpers OR Did you have to sing, fellows? Five happy little Delta Upsilon pledges decided to give the Tipperary girls a large charge and served at their formal dinner. They were doing splendidly. No broken dishes (to speak of), no accidents (to speak of), and the girls were getting a good giggle out of the whole affair. But the fellows decided they hadn't done enough; so they wanted to sing. Oh well . . . they were good waiters.
If **sz** here OR And then again ..
Hank Brown has something now on
that old line, "Figures do lie." Hank
has it all figured out that more men
than women were married last year.
What will the New Year Bring?
OR Daaaaaaaaaah . . . To sing some of the groove songs of the past you need a flexible tongue, an operation to be sure your tonsils are missing, and a handful of people as crazy as yourself. Remember that deadpan ditty of 1941, "Hut sut Rawlson?" Do you think all the innocent people that year suspected that before Christmas rolled around they would be wandering around muttering, "and a Brala Su-it . . . ?" 1944 took the prize with that pointless little number that must have been dreamed up after a feast of lumber cheese and raspberry pie. Natch . . . "Mairzy Doats" of course, and a little lambs eat ivy to you, too. "Chickery Chick" has slid in from last year, but don't let it throw you, just get prepared. This year should bring a lulu!
Here's that man again OR Doing it the hard way . . . Everyone remembers former flashy Phi Psi Bill Chestnut unless you're a conversational clam because ole' Bill (never-put-your-chicks-in-one-basket) is still a conversational plum. He is remembered not only for his athletic ability, but also for the strategy applied in his classes.
While writing a term paper he decided to test the theory that this certain prof didn't bother to read the term papers, but graded them by merely placing them on a scale and weighing them. In the middle of a sentence in this startling bit of literary art he inserted, "If you read this far, I'll buy you a coke." G'wan try it, kids, cokes are only a nickel.
