This Friendly KU
One of the first things everybody should do when he comes to this University or any other one, is to put forth a conscious effort to get acquainted with as many people as possible, in as short a time as possible. You just can't get around it, if don't know anyone well enough to say "Hi Smith," to him on the street, you aren't going to like it here. And everyone wants you to like it here.
You will find this a friendly place; the snobs are few and far between. But you can't expect everyone to make the advances to you. Nobody can tell just by looking at you whether you want to be friendly or not, whether you know the same people or not, or whether you're a square who wants to hide in his own shell.
The thing to do is to say hello to people who sit near you in your classes, ask them things about themselves, and tell them things about yourself. Ask questions from whom ever you wish, and pretty soon you'll be knowing the answers yourself. You'll know when you're in, because you'll be greeting nearly everyone you meet on campus between classes. Remember, first names are meant for use. There's no excuse for anyone to be lonely here.
Weekend in the City
The weekend in the city is an old tradition of the students of the University of Kansas. It has stood the test of time, and who are we to criticize old traditions, anyway? Nevertheless, if we're going to do any good at all during the week, it's up to us to take our weekends a little easy.
A University just doesn't run well on students who are belonged the first half of the week from their last weekend, and daydream the last half about the next weekend. The best thing to remember is that we are here for something more than to accumulate a next pile of used checkbooks (Pop's), and that to get anything more takes work, and lots of it.
It always strikes us a little funny when we think that people go to college, anxious to spend as many weekends in the city as possible, when the final result is that the most of us take jobs in the city, and can't wait until Saturday to spend the weekend in the country.
Those weekends in the city are fun, and one once in a while is good for us, but this work comes first! Let's not get too far behind with it—and one of the best ways is to catch up with our work over a weekend now and then. And remember what the Campus Character always says: "Those who spend too many weekends in the city usually wind up with their weak ends on top."

D-G Dilennum—Ah yes, the trials of reconversion. Way out in West Hills a near catastrophe has fallen. Half of the DG chapter can't find the third floor phone. It seems that Bell's favorite invention has been given a new third floor location and how could all the bright girls know? The familiar ring buzzes, girls dash to where the telephone used to be and find themselves talking to a blank wall. When Mary Ann (Gray) Jackson's Don called her, it took her 15 minutes to recover from the shock of saying those sweet nothings to that fool wall!

Double Trouble—Speaking of dilemma, they have one down on Tennessee Street, too. Yes, the Thetas now have three and a half sets of twins—the Vinglings, Josephs, Maloneys, and just one Patchen. They would have four sets, but there's no hope of ever pledging Jill Patchen's twin—he's in the navy and his name is Jack. The other night at the Mite, Frank Wood and Bob Freeto, Betas, had a few embarrassing moments trying to tell Virginia and Jo Ann Joseph apart. It seems that
K. U.'s first opponent will be Iowa State, Oct. 6, during the half-time of the Kansas-Iowa State football game. Other meets scheduled are Oklahoma at Norman, Oct. 20, and Nebraska at Lincoln, Nov. 3.
The following men are working for a place on the five-man team: Louis V. Anderson, C. H. Armbruster, James B. Blunk, Ford N. Bohl, Joe T. Connelly, C. E. Erickson, Ronald A. Hayenga, Harold W. Hinchee, Robert Kunkle, Harold W. Moore, Kenneth A. Preston, William
It was a cross-country team—and they ran across country—until Coach Kanehl discovered only one Big Six school favored this form of race—Iowa State. The rest of the conference was indifferent or preferred the two-mile team race that was adopted when cross-country competition was voted out by the Big Six in 1935.
the wrong things were said to the wrong girl.
So, now the runners have left the hills and dales and are working out on the customary cinder path in preparation for two-mile meets.
Story of the Week—Phi Fsi Wayne Hird, he-man of Mount Oread, has taken a turn toward the finer things of life. Yes, if the curiosity is getting you, just wander down to the Foods I class and you will find little apron-clad Wayne learning the seullery art along with his 23 female classmates. Remember though, curiosity has often killed the cat, and Hird is a pretty big boy.
The two-mile track team, coached by Raymond Kanehl, instructor in the physical education department, began this fall as a cross-country team.

Marjorie Free and Martha Woodard worked in each of the several divisions of the state civil service department and actually prepared parts of Civil Service examinations. Frances Janes made a detailed study of the Wichita personnel department and made a report that will be used as a basis for a departmental work manual.
Step Bight Up Folks and tour the campus with Fiife Earl (Roundman) Stanton, Jim Kennedy, and Lynn Hardington. The 1923 Packard touring car they bought recently should serve the purpose—that is, if it holds up after the first trip—quite a load!

For the Same Purpose? Times haven't changed much during the 80 years since K.U. opened. According to Chancellor Malott's convocation address, the Indians did a good business selling ponies, those days. He neglected to mention whether it was to students or not.
Mary Morrill and Jean Stodard made a survey of the state board of health for the research department. The information they gathered already has been incorporated into reports to a legislative council committee.
Five University senior women undertook actual governmental problems in Topeka and Wichita this summer as part of a "field course" in public administration. They received no pay for their work but earned University credit.

One of the world's speediest insects has no legs, feet, or flippers. It is a parasite which lives on the bodies of bats, and travels about rolling like a ball.
