Pi Kappa Lambda
The highest honor possible in the undergraduate phase of their chosen vocation was conferred upon several young people of the Fine Arts School recently. Last night, these students were initiated into Pi Kappa Lambda, the national honorary musical fraternity.
Though this honor organization is not as well-known as Phi Beta Kappa, it is the Fine Arts School's equivalent of that group. Students who win this honor must be at the top not only in scholarship but in performance ability. They need out and out as best in their particular line of music.
To these deserving musicians, we give all our congratulations, acknowledge their ability, and hope their honor will do as much for them as Phi Beta Kappa keys do for their colleagues of the College of Liberal Arts.
Safety From the Classroom
Each year deaths caused by automobile accidents become more numerous. Editorialists, story stories, such as "—And Sudden Death," have been written, and posters advocating safety have become popular. The individual isn't good as the individual soon forgets about them and drives just as recklessly as before.
Amos E. Neyhart of Pennsylvania State College started everyone at the National Safety Congress at Louisville last October by saying, "I can show you how to save 20,000 lives each year."
Mr. Neeyhart advocates a plan where all young people must be required to take a course in "safety driven" before he can complete his work at any high school or grade school. He is giving this type of instruction at Pennsylvania at the present time. His idea is to teach the individual how to protect himself and he will continue to observe safety laws at all times because they will become a habit to him.
More than 1000 high schools are giving classroom instruction such as those in Indiana which requires every student to have 20 hours of highway safety study before he can graduate.
From some of the driving found around the campus this might be a pretty good course to start here. Whether it would help any we don't know, but it certainly seems worth trying. If such courses should become the rule instead of the exception we would eventually produce a new crop of able drivers and thus reduce the death rate.

I wish I were a moment
In my professor's class.
For no matter how idle moments are,
They always seem to pass.
Smart to Be Cynical
To attain the ultimate in college sophistication is the goal of most college students. To do this they would go to all ends, even to carrying a monicle, if necessary. This college brand of synicism often degenerates into merely outward manifestations of a blase attitude with probably no real cause for assuming such an attitude. In other words, a college student may affect bored sophistication because he considers it the "smart" thing to do.
He ridicules what he cannot understand, and is indifferent to what he can understand. Cynicism is alright, for a truly thoughtful person may be cynical in his attitude toward intolerance or conventions that retard advancement. But he does not make cynicism his chief pursuit and an end in itself.
His conicent flourishes under the soothing feeling that in the eyes of more prossic students he is something rather unique and a little bizarre. He may kid himself into the belief that he is capable of keen wit or clever irony. In most cases, however, his conversation reveals that his wit is a collection of stock phrases gleamed from current movies or best-sellers.
Useful Irony
An additional touch of irony was added to the "Veterans of Future War" movement, states the Purdue Exponent, when student journalists at Rutgers recently offered their services to the "Veterans" by forming "The Association of Future War Propagandists." They requested free tuition so that they could learn to write propaganda stories for the next war, and they further asked for the establishment of a "home for intelligent war propagandists who will lose enough self-respect through that war" and them from again presenting themselves for peace-time employment in the fourth estate." They also laid plans to erect a monument to the "Unborn Soldier."
The "Future War" idea, originating in the east, has spread westward, and the movement is receiving more publicity than even its most optimistic originators could have hoped for. The entire affair may seem to be but another idle brainstorm of a group of politically-minded college students who were preparing before the public the insanity of war, it will have performed a valuable service to mankind.
Lost Traditions
The Kansas lawyers are showing either their deciphery or progressiveness one. It depends on individual opinion. However, it does seem a shame that their very best-known tradition should
The tradition referred to is that of standing, or sitting on Green steps and whistling "The Worma Crawl In" as the girls crawl by. It may not have been the most stately of traditions but it was widely-known and amusing, to new students particularly, and we miss it.
What has happened, lawyers? Did you decide of your own free will that it was not nice? Or did some one reprimand you, call you "bad children," and tell you to stop it? We wonder.

Editor, Daily Kansan:
Anyway you take them, by golly—at least, we hope you take them since we don't want them—you've got to take them as much as possible. We did not. Did you ever see a show of loyalty and respect for the old Alma Mater? There has never been anything
Yes sice, dearie, the class meeting yesterday morning was a sight for sore eyes. Bif it bet was downright painful and we could see her bright young charges of our generation (most of them will be chargers in this case) ready to give their all. And they had the courage (excuse the euphlemium) to admit that they should have to admit that in some cases that takes courage.
Look at the representative of the Mortor Board who spoke. (That's the Mortor Board for you!) In her speech did you notice the eloquence and logic? I tell you, it was amazing. She kept saying, "I am ashamed that I was moved so easily, but I guess it happens in every young man's life to fall before the wiles of a woman with a quaver in her voice and emotion in her heart. It's my snaking suspicion that if she had been struck by an electric shock, she was, they could have used her during the War.
But, but, the Mortar Board can't have all the credit for saving the old Class of '36 yesterday. No, sheir Somebody else helped. I think it was somebody by the name of Guierney or something like that. Anyway, by the way, I had to explain parts for quite a spell.' There was one thing that the fellow said that really struck me right; it really made me feel good. It was something about our doing something just because everybody else has always done it. Now that was good. And I think that at a lot of other people like it I could teach a bunch of anything else he said, but I with him had on goo.
So there you are, folks! There you have the people whom we own a debt of gratitude to. Oh yes, and don't forget that other debt—that one of three dollars. Let's give them a hand! H.H.C.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Outside "pressure" is responsible for the administration's action on the Sour Owl.
From one point of view it is complimentary to the University to have such detailed interest displayed by our outside critics. From another point of view it is important that we give students the opportunity and interpret the student's standard of morals and so dictate their decisions to the "powers that be" in order that the administration might go ahead and take control of the university.
To date, there has been no evidence of any student protest on the character of the contents of the Sour Owl Since the magazine is published by and for the students they would be expected to should come from them. Then action would be justified.
It would seem that the Sour Owl is bad for the student's morals. Perhaps one remedy for this sinister influence would be to prohibit the reading of the magazine after 10:30 at night.
But, at the same time, the magazine does go beyond the campus and the administration is naturally concerned with what is printed. Still the Sour Owl has maintained the same standard of humor over a period of years and the students of the University have gone out into the world and become decent citizens despite the daming in their lives. The Sour Owl's humor. This generation is just as strong monthly and can laugh just as hard as those who preceded us.
If the Sour Owl should be required to advance a bond of good faith on the quality of its humor, it might be suggested that our most interesting professors be likewise bonded on their humor. Also, perhaps certain humorous professors who are so sordid, Shakespeare, Shakespeare, Rabiese, O'Neill, and Balzac all have pulled some pretty good ones!

Students Who Visit State Insane Asylum Decide They Would Rather Live at Home
"Wal, we put cream and sugar on our strawberries, but then, you know, we're crazy!"
Such were the names of an innate of the State Insane Aylum at Ousonville, which was located on the grounds. This was only one of the humorous and somewhat pathetic sightes by seen members of the various sociology classes while visiting the state insane asylum.
By Alan F. Asher, c'38
Twenty-two students made the trip and were greatly enlightened as to how people who are mentally ill, I live, and are cared for in our state institutions. In the afternoon, a special clinic was conducted by the staff doctors, which involved many of the various types of mental illness and case studies of these various types.
One visitor was almost florished when she entered one of the wards. The inmates waxy and polish the floors in their rooms, leaving them clear of glass, and it is believed that the feminine visitor would surely have fallen if her male escort hadn't given her permission.
No Violent Maniacs Appeared
Contrary to anticipation, the visitors saw no violent or raving maniacs. All of the inmates seemed quiet and rather well behaved, though it was apparent, that they had been deprived of their lives; they had been ostracized from society. One of the doctors of the staff explained that the days of the padded cell were over, and that much more was to be gained in quelling the more excited inmates. The room in which hydrotherapeutic treatments are given contains three

Middletown, Conn. — (UP)—Installation $^{1}$ recording and reproduction apparatus for the use of classes in oral English is under way at Wesleyan University. Next year's classes will be able to hear themselves as others hear them. The new speech apparatus is designed to aid students who have speech difficulties by revealing to them how their speech sounds to others and to help them demonstrate the paint which they will make about the presentations of their students. Many other uses of the equipment are also visualized.
more bath tubs. The patients are placed in a hammock and suspended about three inches from the floor of the tub. They are then given 100 degrees temperature. After the patient has received this treatment his body is completely cooled, so he is completely with two small fire houses which emit very cold water. This treatment not only soothes the patients, but also keeps them into a state of mental sublimation.
Though the patients are well treated and everything possible is done to them, the consensus of opinion ammets the visitors showed a strong desire to remain at the mental facilities and thus be refused membership into such vitae institution.

'Petters' Now Are 'Smoosbers', Says Iowa U.
Grandfather probably "sparked," and mothers and fathers "spooled." In post-war college days it may have been "peting," a decade later it may have been "mugging." But now it's "smoothing." The word was coined on the Iowa State College campus and spread rapidly to Drake and other schools.
Des Moines, In.—(UP)—There's a new word going the rounds of Iowa colleges to denote collegiate love making.
At Drake the girls were a bit displeased with the new term for collegiate love. But the noun later its time for a law. And so it's "smoothing," this spring.

at the time said, the would be hunter didn't even hit the sidewalk. This no doubt is because the animal had not one rabbit's foot along; but four? . . .
The rabbit, species Kumataiuda, has a long neck and a long tongue like a kangaroo. In his eyes is a dream, yet ageless expression. He has seen many things, that rabbit, the staring ruffians on the library steps with contempt in his gaze.
