Those four Merry Bachelors of the Wren apartments still lead their riotous lives with a new laugh coming up every day. The lavish cuisine enjoyed by Ed Hokanson, merriest of the lot, has the blond Adonis looking like a picture of Venus On A Potato Diet. Evidence of girth expansion came the other night when Hokanson crawled into last year's suit, took a deep breath, and watched amazed as three buttons flew through the air.
The only part of Hokanson's fattening anatomy that is not directly traceable to over-zealousness at the table is his right hand. Hokanson underestimated the distance between a wall and his flat the other evening, feinted with his right, and nearly fainted from pain when he cracked the plaster.
Note to the M.B.'s cook: the boys have decided to give up hash and grainflower during Lent.
Bewailing the early closing hours, a "Disgusted Dora" writes the You Said It department that a coed could do anything wrong before 10:30 were she so inclined. If so, what in the world is she crying about?
In Brick's and a mile from home, Chi O Mary Lou Miller and a boothful of sisters offer patterning, petite, pledge Anna Jane Hoffman a "whole" merit if she'll carry the actives' books home. With a saucy "You know what you can do with your books" look Anna Jane snares the actives' pickle from their communal cheese sandwich and trips out. Anna Jane knows the easiest way to earn merits at the Chi O homestead is to trap the tame rats.
Collegiate circus: He's a senior, fun-loving and easy going. A semester of carousing put him heavily in debt and on probation. His father, disgusted with his attitude took him out of school and put him to work hoping to stiffen up his backbone. Last fall he came back to school. As far as his parents were concerned, he was regularly enrolled. But he was not; never went near Dean Nelson to get the probation lecture but instead rented an apartment and went to work having a good time. For one semester tuition, book, and board and room money went for bacchanalian sortes. Now he's enrolled in school, praying that his duped parents won't learn of their son's perfidy.
There are always a couple of good stories about grade complaints at the end of each semester but this is one that tops them all.
When a student went to Dean Lawson this week to complain of a low grade in an economics course taught by Peter F. Palmer he was very much upset. While stating his case to the Dean he broke out with, "Why Doctor Lawson, you don't know what kind of a person he is. Didn't you read about him being arrested for bootlegging?"
That was the wrong Palmer son. And incidentally, the wrong way to change a grade.
L. L. Waters, another instructor in economics found good evidence of cheating on a final in accounting and flunked the young lady.
And here's one we still can't figure out.
hinted at him. Next day he was accosted by a Kiman with an interest in the girl and threatened in the following epigramatic manner, "I'm a psychologist and you're going to hear from me"
Registrar's Office Wants Addresses
All changes in addresses or phone numbers for the new semester should be turned in to the registrar's office as soon as possible, William Farmer, l'41, editor of the student directory, said today.
When all new students' addresses are recorded and the changes made, a directory supplement will be issued, Farmer said.

hysteria, or something very like it, in antagonism to minority groups of the left.
Civil liberties will be more in peril from Congress itself at this session than hitherto. Pending at present are a number of so-called anti-alien and anti-sedition bills which in the past have been too drastic for one branch or the other to stomach. Their chances of passage are increased as war atmosphere thickens and fears for true Americanism seem to spread.
Chairman Dies is not on a subversive Red hunt; neither is he on a Nazi hunt alone. His whole attitude suggests a campaign of quasi-terrorism to be developed against the so-called liberal front, such as culminated in the World War period in Attorney General Mitchell Palmer's raids. Dies' special effort seems to be to scrape up material to feed a reaction in this country, whether Fascistic or not, that would encourage the worst of the obscurantists in American life.
PROGRESSIVE.
LET'S SAND THE ICE To the Editor:
Now that it is not quite so cold, and persons can once again get outside and about, it would be a very worthwhile project for the city administration, or the university authorities, or someone, to go around with a shovel and a truckload of sand, and sprinkle all those nice little icy places that people (and especially I) always fall on.
It was excusable in the severe weather, for then workmen could not be expected to stay out in such cold. But now there is no earthly reason why someone can't do something about it. It would add much to one's chances of getting up and down the hill, and also would serve as a check on the amount of water that runs down the middle of the sidewalks when the snow and ice does melt, as it has been doing lately.

If President Roosevelt doesn't desert his cautious treatment of the international situation soon, the three prominent Republican candidates are going to find that a needle in a haystack is far more obvious than an issue to wage a successful campaign.
G.O.P. Lacks An Issue
Editor, Daily Kansan:
A vital issue is necessary to defeat a firmly implanted administration. So far Dewey, Vandenburg, and Taft, the three whitest hopes of the Republicans, have confined their speeches to cavilling over the inefficiency and wastefulness of the New Deal. Dewey's chief stump-speaking gripe has been that individualism has been discouraged by the Rooseveltian administration. It's very true, but the voting public today isn't much interested in such a manly virtue. Not enough, at least, to rise up in rage and register a protest vote.
Attacks up to the present have
Business itself presents no opportunity to the Republicans. The best the candidates can do is advocate a more "sympathetic" attitude toward business. Landon used that back in 1936 and came up with the gratitude of two measly states.
been general and not specific. Republican representative Clifford Hope's committee found that if the farmers were at all disgusted with the present set-up of the AAA, it was only with its administration. Can the Republicans come out with a platform for a radically enough changed AAA to make a campaign issue? Hardly.
One last hope awaits the opposition. Should President Roosevelt make a slip in his treatment of the European situation and make it appear that involvement in foreign

war is imminent, then Republicans can get in the buggy and not spare the horses. The president, however, gives no indication of making such a slip. He has passed the buck on to Congress and given them the honor of making the boner.
Until now the Republican presidential aspirants are up a creek without a paddle. Come November, they will probably still be there, waving their hands frantically for
