THE KANSAN COMMENTS
Problem of Jobs Or Education Faces Students
In these days of indecision, restlessness, and anxiety, many of us are faced with the question of whether to remain in college. Prospects for jobs with high salaries are good, and to some it seems foolish to stay in school and prepare for a job when it would be simpler to step into a good position now. Others feel they are doing little to help win the war by staying in college. Then there are those who claim that college "just isn't what it used to be."
To those who are concerned principally with the "fun" side of college, perhaps the best advice would be to leave now. Your day is over at least for a few years. Training programs for servicemen in most colleges and universities have necessitated heavier and speedier academic schedules which will undoubtedly be continued after the war for the training of veterans. The person who is concerned mainly with having a good time in college is going to be disappointed. There are many opportunities offered, however, to the coeds who are sincerely interested in educating themselves, and who are willing to devote time and effort in doing so.
In every field of college work, there is much of practical value to be gained by the students who want to do their part in the war effort and in reshaping the post-war world. Science majors are needed for research work. Graduates of the School of Business are needed to take over jobs that were left by drafters or enlisted men in offices and firms. Journalism graduates are needed by newspapers to keep the news flowing and the public informed. Occupational therapy students will be needed to help returning servicemen adjust themselves to civilian life. The acute shortage of doctors, nurses, and teachers cannot be over-estimated. In every field there is something to be gained by the students who are willing to apply their education practically.
Perhaps most important of all is the fact that our generation is going to have the difficult task of making and keeping peace. It will be up to us to see that our children do not have to face the crisis that we have faced. It will be our task to maintain and adhere to the standards of a liberty-loving nation. Many problems are going to be willed to us by World War II, and we going to need well-educated, well-informed members of our group to meet these problems.—C.S.

Kiss me again: Mary and Barbara Varner, Pi Phi pledges, were enroute to Wichita last weekend, and had finally obtained seats after many weary miles of sitting on their suitcases. They sank (?) gratefully into their seats, Mary on the aisle, and relaxed into a semi-doze. About that time, a slightly embriated soldier loped by, spied Mary, gave her a good resounding smack, and staggered off down...the aisle. He remained safely...in the other end of the coach for some time while Mary seethed and muttered, "I wish he'd come back. I'd slap his face." A little
For she wears his paper pin: Alma Chi Omega pronounces "Help!" on the pinning of Doris Dixon and Foster Reynolds, V-12. The pinning took place, in a haphazard sort of way, at the Alpha Chi house last weekend. Doris was presented a wilted orchid in a battered hat box, while her attendants and the house-mother received frayed roses. The Kappa Sig pin was a Balfour model, straight out of the catalog, and was becomingly pinned on with a safety pin. Foster dutifully reported to the house after supper where he was profoundly kissed by all, including the housemother. Imagine his surprise!

"Bye, 'bye, 'bye, baby: The new Sigma Kappa housemother strolled into the living room about 12:20 Saturday night, and said tactfully to all within hearing distance, "Good night." A V-12 looked up from the sofa on which he was sitting, and queried, "Going somewhere?"

Blasted event: Joanna Wagstaff, Theta, recently received an engraved greeting which read: "Phi Kappa Psi wishes to extend to you Mother's Day greetings." The next day, Joanna remarked to Dean Simms, whom she suspected as the culprit, "You should have sent it the middle of May." then blushed profusely when Dean turned to Duane Kline, Phi Psi to whom she is pinned, congratulated him and asked for his cigar.
Picture of the week: Phil Butler, Sigma Chi V-12, in Jane Sweeney's blue jeans, while Peggy Smith busily sewed up a foot-long rip in the seat of his Navy blues. The accident occurred Sunday at the Alpha Chi house when Phil flopped into an overstuffed chair.

Booming War Conditions Stifle Interest in Loan Scholarships
Interest in student loan scholarships has decreased greatly in the last few years, Miss Dorothy Haglund, executive secretary of the Committee on Aids and Awards, believes, because of the boom conditions brought on by the war. Although all but one of the gift scholarships offered by the University are being used, there are many loan scholarships listed in the University catalogue for which no one has applied.
Most of the scholarships and loans are not offered to entering students, but are available to those who have been in residence for one year or longer, Miss Haglund said. Students may file applications this spring, so that they may be considered by scholarship committees during May, prior to announcement of awards in June. Applications filed late in the spring are considered at September meetings if there are vacancies caused by resignations or failure to return to school.
Usually the payment of scholarships to students is in two installations, one-half at the beginning of each semester, Miss Haglund said. By special arrangement, during the war, scholarship awards may be used during the summer semester instead of either of the other two semesters of the academic year.
The only gift scholarship not being used at present is the $100 Eastern Star award, which the Committee on Aids and Awards has recently announced is available to a senior woman in the College who has definite Masonic connections. Prospective senior women interested in the award next year are also being considered at this time, Miss Haglund said.
Thirty-five Donnellly scholarships are being used this year. The award of $100 is granted to men and women students of all classifications, on the basis of financial need, scholastic ability, and character. No set number of wards are made each year.

carry the privilege of residence in Watkins or Miller halls, for women, or in Battenfeld, Carruth, Templin, or Jolliffe halls for men, are awarded each year to enough students to fill the halls. The students do their housework and cooking cooperatively.
The men's residence hall scholarships are handled through the office of the adviser of men. Summerfield scholarships for men are handled by the Endowment association.
LaVerne Noyes scholarships of $50 are awarded to students descended by blood from someone who served in the armed forces in the first World War, or who themselves served in the First World War. The gifts are now available to students who can fill the requirements on the basis of the present war, Miss Haglund said.
Elizabeth M. Watkins scholarships of $100 for women, are awarded to students, in return for at least six hours work a week in some campus office. Twenty of these awards are made each year.
The only awards which are made to students not yet enrolled in the University are the Girl's Honor scholarships, awarded annually to ten senior girls from Kansas high schools. The $100 awards are granted to women who need financial aid, and who rank in the upper 10 per cent of their class.
