THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Borrowers Have Few More Days To Return Books
If it hasn't struck your conscience already, stop and remember that this is "Return That Book" week. It is a safe bet that hundreds of misplaced volumes are still misplaced, and that library aides are still remarking to activity-booked customers, "Well, that book isn't checked out, but we can't seem to find it!"
Perhaps you haven't returned some literary gem because you are an accredited member of the doodler clan. A doodler is a specimen who cannot resist scribbling on the pages he peruses. This type of humanity usually decides to hide his literary additions in the closet, rather than return the finished product to its rightful owner.
Remember, too that this idea was not intended solely for library volumes. It was developed to impress all borrowers, intentional or otherwise, who have the well-formed habit of temporarily appropriating a volume and then forgetting the incident completely.
An author of the past century had the same habit. He borrowed books and more books from his friends, and after several intervening years, he returned them. The friends didn't object to the added scribbles. They contributed so much to the books' meaning that the actual worth increased.
This is not a build-up to promote doodling. Neither is it a build-up for intentional destructiveness. Don't get the idea that you should draw pretty pictures in the margins. You shouldn't. Do get this idea: return those objected items, even if they are in a state of poor health. Stop and unshelve the "orphan" volumes that you have, and return them to their rightful home—the library!

Poor Professor McCord! 'Tis the custom of his 11:30 class to put on their coats and scarfs to about 12 o'clock in anticipation of the 12:20 whistle. Yesterday morning the usual procedure was proceeding when Professor McCord stopped, took a deep breath, and announced in his supreme tone of understatement, "You know, I feel so lonesome up here without a hat and coat to put on."
The class was duly subdued.

All but eight Alph Chi's (all but the eight seniors) will find an assessment on next month's house bill to cover the cost of Monday night's senior walk-out. Naturally, it will be just the nominal fee for a steak dinner, show, gasoline, and that telegram to those left behind enjoying the Monday night meatballs.
Best we not forget to mention Doris Dixon running down the hill in her red flannel sleepers at 7:30 a.m. Tuesday to recover her clothes from Evelyn Vogt.

Phi Psi's now gather round every night after dinner to hear R J. (Jonathan Swift) Atkinson tell the immortal tales of Psi history from the far past to the recent past. In fact, Dean Sims swears the tales aren't even recognizable to the fellows who were there at the time
They must be good, boys.
Miss Eberhardt couldn't understand why she woke up laughing the other morning until she recalled her dream in which the minister had said, "Now I want all of you to be eager believers."

Henry Werner, dean of student affairs, will meet with representatives of the Residence Halls tonight at 10:30 and with the Inter-Fraternity council Sunday at 11 a.m. to consider the problem of enforcing quiet hours in men's houses.
By the way, Don Cousins, where is that blackhead? The story is that he received a postcard the other day with an advertisement pasted on the back telling those troubled with the pesky things how they may get rid of them. Honestly, that's all there is to the story. Maybe Don knows the rest?
Pre-enrollment for all engineering students now in school who expect to be in school next semester, will be held Saturday, Feb. 17, Emory Johnson, acting assistant professor of civil engineering, announced today. This applies to both civilian and V-12 students.

A schedule of when the students should report is posted in room 206, Marvin hall, and should be followed by the students, Professor Johnson explained.
These laundry sales at Miller hall bring the most amazing results. Joyce McCoy claims she was just bidding up the other women, but ask her what she got. It can't be printed.
The reason Al Evans, Phi Psi, looks so dejected of late is that Agnes has deserted him.

"They'll do it every time," he swears. "Here I made her a bed and spent nearly $5 on anti-flea soap, worm powder, and flea powder. Then she follows a bunch of girls up Indiana, and I haven't seen her since. And she was house-broke, almost. Please come back to me, Agnes."
