PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1934 Comment Drought? "A far greater loss to this state, this nation, than any physical drought bringing ardiness to the fields would be a drought of ideals and ideas in the youth," Lester McCoy told the assembled students and faculty of this University last week. Probably Lester McCoy is right, and, probably, at least so far as this state is concerned he need have no cause to worry. The number of young people in attendance at universities proportionate to the total number of young people in the state should serve accurately as a barometer of "ideas and ideals." Strangely enough, in respect to the University of Kansas, this proportion has risen considerably in the last two years. Last year we had the greatest enrollment to that time. This year enrollment reaches another all-time high. To what can we attribute this ever-increasing attendance? Certainly, times have not bettered commensurately. This and last year's droughts were just as severe as any during the depression, there has been no marked increase in the population of the state, there are just as many or more on the relief rolls, and any upturn in business has not been very great. What, then, is sending more and more young people to the University? To say that more of them are fed with idealism may be foolish . . . but, nevertheless, a great many more are working their way through. It doesn't matter what you call it . . . ideas, idealism, ambition, fortitude . . . Mr. McCoy has no cause to fear. A freshman in an eastern college got on a street car and asked the motorman where Happy Jesus boulevard was. It took the motorman quite some time to realize that he meant Gaylord avenue—Los Angeles Junior College. The reason women live longer than men is because paint is a great preservative. Daily Californian. Mrs. Watkins—Patroness Thanks to Mrs. Watkins another girls' dormitory is to be added to the buildings of the University. She previously gave the Watkins Memorial hospital and Watkins hall to the University. Since Watkins hall was built in 1926, she has indirectly helped hundreds of young women to attend the University. When this new building is completed, it will be organized in a manner similar to the one already in use and will accommodate the same number of girls. The University is not only grateful for the financial support which she has given it but also for the encouragement to raise the scholastic standing. One of the minor benefits of the steady two-day rain will probably be the curtailing of the amount of chlorine that is being put in the water. —Daily O'Collegian. A Daily Dozen The students at the University would profit, were they to observe the Daily Northwestern's "Student's Daily Dozen." They are briefly: At all times keep yourself physically fit. To become efficient you must schedule your time. Make a complete schedule of all the things you must do during each day of the week and try to follow this as closely as possible. Motivation as found in the proper mental attitude, which is one of the most important factors in efficient study. Have an aim; study because you want to get your lessons; stop studying for the teacher; study as though you had but a few minutes left in which to do the work; continually hunt for the thought being expressed. Learn beyond the threshold; learn beyond just knowing; don't study for just tomorrow. Alternate your study periods for different subjects. Repeat the materials you read over to yourself either out loud, silently, or in writing. An outline of the material more firmly fixes it in your mind. Apply what you learn to practical situations. If the materials are difficult read aloud, when it is convenient. To these suggestions, proper recreation should be added as an important factor in efficient study. Some psychologists maintain that more efficient studying is accomplished, when rest periods are observed. The students' interest in the various subjects is not only an advantage to them but also to the professors. Interest makes it easier for students to stay awake in class; and the students' interest makes it easier for the professors to lecture. Wonder of wonders—no one has suggested to the editor that he conduct a campaign to change the name of the college. We understand that the editor is usually besieged with proposals to crusade for the abandonment of the present name.—Daily O'Collegian. Clouds of maths have been seen in Southern California.

Editor Daily Kansan: The porch, since it is a part of the house, cannot be occupied by girls and their dates after 8 a.m. clock, according to a decision made by the Deom of Women at a home unless you are ready to come in. This rule has been eagerly enforced by several well-manning land-landers in unorganized areas where they organise board meetings, even boast of it. Assuming that you arrive at your "home" and ask for a taxi, do you "do it?" Can it be that parking is not only approved Why should individuals capable of doing adult work physically and mentally be made to undergo fictional moral rehabilitation?

It can take a lot of time, but they are not going to organizations he finds that they compose only about one-fourth of the student body, yet from the attitude of most of them, especially the inexperienced, think that they are not suitable for their use. I realize that to some extent there is a difference between fraternity and non-fraternity men and women. Yet the difference is not so great that they cannot社会化 as fraternity members, but they can independently to their house? Just because you have them ever is not a sign that you are trying to pledge them. It is not necessary to have them to your houses with that The faculty members, both men and women, should be the ones who really make up the backbone of it. Is the independents who really make up the backbone of it? I fully understand that nothing can be settled by this letter. I realize that it would be difficult for the Kanman to take issue. I just thought I would give you some idea as to why the majority of the student feels upset for fraternity members. DHH Editor Daily Kansan: Your humble correspondent has found another fly in his onement, another kone in his throat. The beginnings of another school year have unearthed numerous discrepancies in collegiate life that gratte on these sensitive nerves. Do you suppose, offhand, that anything can be done about all the future ravages we are being subjected to daily in regard to a few radical (and impoverished) freshmen? Are the upperclassmen really going to give up the upperclassmen of the University are going to give in to their infantile demands without a whimper? Are the lowerclassmen permitted to tell their seniors what to do? Our student council, athletic organizations and honor societies have been permitted to inform our lowerclassmen be And why do your paper give so much space to the demands of these youngsters? Did I get any space in the paper the time I told my father I positively and absolutely wanted them to see me? How many hearty beers on my hindmilk portions and went to Sunday school. Would it be presumptuous to me suggest that maybe some of our freshmen could use a little more space? the heart of inversion Yours with an eye to the future and ear to the ground OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Notice that at Charleston's Office at 1 p.m., preceding regular publication days and 11:10 a.m. Vol. 34 THURSDAY, SEPT. 24, 1926 No.11 ADVANCED TAP CLASS: An advanced tap class will meet regularly at 2:30 on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

St. The history of the lanten parade dates back over twenty years ago when it was planned as a courtesy for freshmen alone. At that time a few upper-class women gathered on the campus with a group of new women, and offer them an opportunity to run in terms around the campus. Since then the frolic has been replaced by a supper, and in the meantime the W.S.G.A. joined with the Y.W.C.A. in maintaining the tradition. Each year the group of women affectionately runs in white lantern-lighted parade is one of the most beautiful sights on the campus. R.S. --without charge. KFKU --without charge.
