Learning Goes on To New Goals
The University goes on, come flood, epidemic, or war. That was the theme of the well-received speech of the former chairman of the Kansas Board of Regents in convocation yesterday.
The speaker, Fred M. Harris, knows what he is talking about. A law student at the University during the Spanish-American War, Mr. Harris since then has followed the progress and development of this school through World War I up to the present conflict.
Learning is one of those immutable things which cannot be destroyed. Under suppression it gathers its strength and continues growing underground, ready for the day when the sun of freedom shall shine again and it can burst forth in bloom.
The University, housing learning, takes on its deathless qualities. Emphasis may be placed now on science, mechanics, and physical training, but those arts of peace such as philosophy, music, literature will come into their own again.
Since men's minds and souls must live and grow too, even in war, it is not wise to eliminate from the college curriculum the fine arts and course primarily meditative. The University has realized this fact and kept open the same courses of study that were enjoyed in peace-times, adding war-time classes to suit the needs of the men in uniform and civilian students preparing for service.
After the war, the University will make great strides forward in the sciences. It is to be hoped that the social sciences and arts can keep pace with the scientific development. If they can, the world will find its way out of the prevailing darkness; if they cannot, the new world of science and no heart or soul will not be worth the sacrifice.
o liberate enslaved intellects over the world do not themselves lose their culture, their freedom of thought and expression, and their institutions of learning.
An optimist because he has seen the University after wars return not to normalcy but to something better, Mr. Harris predicts the continuance of KU as a great institution after the war. It is such liberal-thinking, public-spirited citizens of Kansas who believe that the University should lead the state in learning and ideals, who will bring this about.

Rock Chalk Talk
By MARY MORRILL
Proving that this years freshmen are no different: One rushee arrived at the Gamma Phi house at the stroke of 4:30 p.m. the day of teas and took her place demurely in a corner. She said yes and no quite intelligibly—intermittently she bared her teeth. Suddenly after an hour and a half she jumped as if prodded by an acetylene torch and dashed out the door. "Sorry to run off like this," she said giving the rush captain's hand a fleeting pump, "but its almost 6, and I haven't been to the Gamma Phi house yet."
When the Kappas went out their back door to school Tuesday morning they encountered a formal gown hanging from the porch light and numerous suitcases and toilet articles neatly arranged on their back steps. The formal was identified as belonging to Nancy Miller, pledge, who later admitted up at 5:30 a.m. so she could move in at the earliest possible moment and then losing heart when it came to ringing the doorbell at 7:30 and raising a possibly irate active.
At one sorority house when the closing hour bell rang their first "in" night three freshmen dashed madly out of their rooms inquiring if the house was on fire.
3,000 uniforms and she picked on him: Dr. Pierce, head of the Wesley Foundation on Mt. Oread, was somewhat taken aback when he called Donna Jean Stember at Watkins hall, and, before even uttering hello, was greeted with, "Well, hello, my little apple blossom!" Upon being informed that this was not her little apple blossom, Donna, an alum, almost swallowed the transmitter. Apple blossom is Claudine Chamberlain. Donna had been expecting a call from her.
