Sane Rushing
At Last?
Another year and another set of rules for women's rush week!
Radical innovations have been introduced this year with one motive in view: to impress girls of college age, as well as their parents, that the University is the desirable place to attain social as well as scholastic training.
The sororites on the Hill have been unjustly accused of snobishness, and school authorities have wept to see disappointed rushes, from the governor's daughters on down, returning to their home towns or enrolling in another college. The sororites have worked together in Pan-Hellenic Council on a plan whereby rush week this year will be handled by this council rather than by the University authorities.
Rush week will be moved up to Sept. 11, a change which will eliminate those few days of grace formerly permitted worn-out rushes between preference and enrollment. The idea is to encourage girls to stay on at the University whether they pledge or not.
- Another important new ruling concerns "release" lists which will be sent by the sororities to the Council. Such lists will contain the names of girls who are no longer being considered for pledging by particular sororites. The lists will be available to smaller sororites which in recent years have often failed to fill their quotas.
Sorority life is a definite and desirable part of life at the University both for those who belong and for those who do not. Because Rush Week is a yearly nightmare, it is hoped the new plan will successfully solve a few of the problems that cause student dissatisfaction.
Coeds Dress
As They Please
Out here in Kansas, where the bright summer, sun arrives early and soon wears out its welcome, college women will have no truck with the eastern fashion experts who predict a revival of the "clothes interest" on the nation's campuses.
Co-eds are proud of their clothes and the struggle they waged to achieve the present casual campus styles. They've as happy over what they've accomplished as their mothers were over the successful battle for women's suffrage. Now that they've found a satisfactory median between a state of complete undress and the bundlesome "Sunday-go-to-meeting" attire, you'll not find them casting off comfortable class-going garments for any whim of those who fashion fashions.
Ten years ago, if a University woman had walked up Mount Oread on a hot Saturday morning in slacks, and a beer jacket, she would promptly have been shoed to the other end of town. Had she appeared in the library in a peasant dress, flats and anklets, she would have made the headlines, the Sour Owl, and all the gossip columns. Sufferer of that clothes-conscious era, a woman from the class of 1929 returned to Hillville recently, took a surprised look at the modern woman's campus apparel, voiced her enthusiasm approval.
In the days before the crash, coeds came to classes dolled up like a cinema clothes-horse. They wore "date" dresses, high-heeled shoes, and even hats. From Vassar, Bryn Mawr and Smith, where visions of approaching years in the world of business perhaps inspired the first decisions to make college comfortable, the vogue of casual campus wear moved westward. Soon women in Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas had courage to let down their sartorial hair. Thus, braving criticism, gossip and the threats of standdat full-dress defenders, did Kansas coeds get their informal tastes.
When fashion experts launch the sport hat and suggested tailored woolens instead of sweaters and skirts, therefore, they meet firm opposition. For in her freedom of dress, the co-ed has opportunity to express her individuality. She can get her education comfortably and less expensively. The style of indifferent sloppiness, moreover, makes life easier for the beauty judges. If a girl is pretty beneath an assortment of sun glasses, scarfs and beer jackets, she must be beautiful.
The fight for casual wear was a long one. Keeping it is worth a round with the fashion experts.
The Spirit of Mozart Has Left Austria
When Herr Hitler annexed Austria last year something from Salzburg slipped through his hands. He retains the town with its picturesque roofs, but the spirit of Mozart, which has been lately revived, hurried out when the Nazis marched in.
With their composer leader, these twentieth century internationales fled in search of the eighteenth century. But while they streamed
out of the country in harried, tense-faced little groups, the last remnants of Spanish intellectuals were feverishly shipping gold plate and tapestry to France. Libarians scoured the country for bomb-proof cells in which to bury valuable documents while the twelfth century cathedrals were shelled to the ground.
The cultural Havoc that the Nazis have wrought to the world can soon be compared with the physical destruction which the rumble of guns from the Reichland will herald. The wheel of intellectual progress spins backwards as newspapers are censored, scientific research throttled, and psychologists, musicians and mathematicians are driven from their native countries.
These intellects, the scientists and artists, can not they continue with their work in the country of their choice? They may if they are financially able or if their new country is a benevolent one. But they will pursue their study with a bitterness of mind and a brokenness of spirit, for many of them were old men before they left their native soil. There can be no estimate of what the world has lost and what it might have gained had it been possible for them to remain in their original place of work.
As for the men themselves, how can they be repaid for the mental anguish and unhappiness Herr Hitler has caused them? Oliver Messel, English promoter, proposed the town of Bath, England, to take the place of the old Austrian haunts. Backed by theatrical, financial, and intellectual figures, Bath Arts Festival, Ltd., was founded. And on summer evenings, Vienna music flows through open doorways. Conversation is brilliant. Dancing is light.
Perhaps Bath, Ltd. will bring some solace to the Austrian internationales. Yet like all other substitutes for the material and immaterial culture destroyed by the Nazis, it is only an imitation. Perhaps, it is not essentially different from the old Bath in its historical heyday. But the nightingales are gone, never to return again to their native hearth.
George Bonnet, the French Foreign Minister, says Force can't rule Europe. Some cynics believe that he should have added that he would knock down the first person who cracked a smile.

Stamp, old coin, and even book collectors are fairly common. But when a person collects match folders on such a scale that he now has 7,000 of them from nearly every country in the world, that is something worth noting.

Kruse, who is well-known to University men, began his collection seven years ago.
Frank Kruez, diminutive 55-year-old taller at Ober's Clothing Store is the man who has collected this aounding total of match folders, no two of which are alike. He has covered an entire side wall of his room at Ober's with folders and now has a good start on one child.
"I found a bunch of folders in a suit coat one day." Kruse said, "pinned them up and simply kept adding to them."
"When some one, brings me a folder I can tell in a minute whether I have that particular one in my collection or not." Krune said.

Sally Eand recently declared that he had never posed nude in all her life. That's nudes to us.
The trouble with reform movements such as the one now going on in Kansas City is that sooner or later every one mistrusts everyone else, and you must make sure you point new investigators to investigate the investigators.
This is the season of Senior plays, and the exchanges from around the state are crammed with accounts of thrilling performances of such classics as "Clarence" and "Smilin' Through."
But you should have seen us scintillate in the junior class play. Rarely has our town seen such histrionics We were one of the 45 who dashed on the stage in the mob acrene of the second act of "The Fool." "Down with him," we withdrew with the other 45, "down with him," we reprasented as we left the stage.
Everytime we read about a senior high school play we become nostalgic. It reminds us that there comes a time in the tides of men when if taken at the well, we even had an opportunity to embark on a dramatic career instead of journalism. Our high school drama arts teacher offered us the leading part in the senior play without even going through the formality of a try-out. However personal integrity forced us to refuse the offer. The play was called "The Poor Nut."
We've never been the same since that night.

"Then I'll whistle for him," said Peggy, and she whistled using a special kind of whistle.

Immediately Bob Tibbets stuck his head out of the Sig Alph house nearby and whistled back, using the same special kind of whistle.
Several disgusted Sig Alfs stuck several heads out and hollered "Why don't you use the telephone?" and a lot of Gamma Phi's stuck a lot of people. Nobody was hollering. Nobody knew where Berns went, but they know why.

Wintlsor Makes Known His Desire to Visit England
Kappa's Virginia Houton was translating Spanish to English in one of Miss Ellis's classes not long ago when she ran across Don Quixote and Joan of Arc, the indicative of the literary training most freshmen have suffered.
Shinpoo & foos: Plus assorted drive, including such stuff as the fact that Charley Gray is going with Jan Taibolt, the recent recipient of a new car . . . Johnny Begeten see eating dinner a lot with Margaret Murray at the Blue Mill a lot lately, and not because Charley Long's meals are better than those at the Theta house . . . Aw heck, I'm tired of this stuff too . . . think I quit. (Editor's note: Good ideal)
It's that Alpha Chi again- Estelle Eddy. This time it happened while instructors MacFarquhar and Willis stopped to figure out whither they had led the geology class on a field trip. Estelle got out of her cur and cooped out to where a farmer was stepping on his land. His work horses, but the horse didn't want to be rode. As long as it lashed it was a pretty fair rode.
Faris, May 25—(UP)—The Duke of Windsor noticed the British government twice since the beginning of the year that he desired to return to England for a brief visit, it was understood today. Bgh times, it was said, he was told that a visit would be untimely at the moment and it was suggested that he wait a further six months.
This report was heard as the result of the motor accident to Queen Mary, and of speculation as to the possibility that the Duke might return to see her. He telephoned her and asked her as he learned of the accident.
It was further understood that before his brother, King George, went to Canada Windsor gave assurance England during the King's absence.
