Rush-week proved to be rather des as far as activities of the various fraternities were concerned. Few hard feelings have been reported; although there was more "humps" than usual. This of course was caused by the amazing number of fine boys who are stending the University.

We were told that a second admister man of a certain fraternity asked for a rushes at another house, and after the refusal of his friend, the party was asked to take a button. (Maybe this world isn't safe for democracy, or else some household
Ed Tucker, a (good) Phi Gam, also president of the Pan-Hellenic council, spent most of rush week in the fraternity houses other than his own. It all comes about after one club can get a ruderie from a hot-box; then Ed Tucker, another club, which is supposed to be in the right, and either the boy is brought to the front door, or some club forits forty dollars for being nasty men and boys.
The best story of rush week, told only recently in the column, seemed to bring one of the Sig Alba boys, who was very brave and able to handle a lot of trouble. It concerns the girl who failed after being held in a hot-box. Stolly and the story was all right, but the girl in question was a very dear friend. Therefore we should drop the matter.

Can you imagine the embarrassment on the port of both boy can girl when he asked her if she would care for a Pale, and she said, "No. I can't drink that much." It's the truth, but we don't know who said it.
From all indications the new security rushing rules proved to be a flop; some good girls went home because they didn't get a bid from their pet owners. When they failed to pledge the quota of fair ones, but regardless of the faults of this new rushing plan there is one fellow who says it worked out first rate, and he is no other than Charley Long of the Blue Mill. Charles said the man was very nice to pleiding and if you stopped to notice, the Mill had a good molly mong hanging around constantly. When the daughter of this slicker comes on the bill we will waiver that there will be courtesies at the Mill to impress paga.

Frat Rushing Sidelights
The Sigma Chi's have worked out an effective system of graduated house bills, for inquiring rushes.
Some Washburn Kappa Sigs brought a likely buy up from Topola to only eight apartments in neighboring West Hills house. About half of each house worked on him on neutral ground before he decided to buy it and pander the weighty question.
"Bill Dylphy, a medium DU, rulc captain, was only two hours late for a Union fountain date Saturday night. Just a business-versus-duty event.
Paul Trees, the Sig Alph Adonis, did a lot of his rushing over at the Chi Omega lodge.
Ask the Sigma Chi's what happen at a prominent hangout Saturday night. The silence is appalling. Boy will be boys.

Examinations
"The students worked very well, and the examination was run off in a very smooth manner," said A. H. Tur-*ee*. "The students were in charge. He believes that the students are beginning to see the real value of such things, and do not attempt to answer the questions and be in a so-called humorous manner.*
This year a reading test was used with the examination. Those in charge of the examination have discovered that many students who make good grades in the examination, fall down in their reading.
Scores of the lower 20% of the students will be in the hands of the advisors in time for enrollment. The rehearsal will be ready within three to four weeks.
Those students whose names begin with A, B, E, J register Monday from noon until 10:30 a.m. for H-Q-3, Q-4, Tuesdays, B-8; 9:10, W-Z; 10:10–11:50, S-3:00, O-T; C, Y, V; 3-4:50,

"Sword and Spear" Used in Self - Defense of Lands
New York, Sept. 17—(UP) The voice of Emperor Halle Saelasius was heard by radio broadcast in the United State yesterday, proclaiming that Ehidi had conquered Sardinia and independence and knows how to use "the sword and spear" in self-defence. The Emperor spoke in French over an NBC hook-up, and his remarks were then translated in English. In English, the transcription, NBC quoted him as follow.
"Ethiopia has confidence in God, whose justice transcends that of man. Ethiopia has always fulfilled its international obligations and has made every sacrifice compatible with honor and dignity to avoid war.
"Ethiopians love peace, but they are jealous of their independence and know how to use the sword and spear in defense of the lands they cultivate."
Payroll for CSEP Is Boosted $600 To Total of $7000
Graduate Funds Provide Employment for 34 Students in Many Fields...
A fund for the employment of graduate students has been placed at the diaposal of the CSEP office, according to Miss Mary C. Olsen, secretary of the organization for the University; Payroll from this fund will average $140,000 per month; monthly payment for federal sources to $7,900 for the University.
Miss Oellen explains that the University is allowed an average of $20 a month for students working on Ph.D. degrees. This group must not exceed three-fourths of the number of Ph.D. degrees granted last spring.
An average of $23 a month is allowed for students working on their Master's degrees. This number is not to exceed $40,000. The Master's degrees granted in the spring.
As there were 18 Doctor's degrees granted last spring, jobs averaging $25 a month will be given to 13 students working on Doctor's degrees this year. Twenty-one per person working on Manager's duties will give jobs averaging $25 a month.
According to Miss Olson, there is a stipulation that these jobs will be in the department in which the student is doing his work and will consist of
One advantage of having such employment is that it will give students help in their own line of work where they are more familiar with the responsibilities as to scholastic standing will be enforced by the CSEP board which will administer this new pay-in action to those who have not met its requirements.
CONSTITUTION DAY OBSERVED BY DR. SMITH AT FORUM
Constitution Day was observed last night at the Unitarian Forum when Dr. John Barchay Smith, newly appointed professor of law, spoke on "Some Phases of the Constitution in a Inspiring American Citizenship."
It's a big place, this University, and there is much history and information concerning it that the new student needs to know. We believe to be a true child-foster of the school.
Richard B. Stevens, county attorney introduced the speaker.
Dr. Smith is a graduate of the University and of the Yale Law school where he secured a doctorate in jurisprudence. He taught at Louisiana State University,
New Students Get First Views Of Historic University Buildings
To begin with, the original University of Kansas was opened in 1868. Less than 100 students attended the first classes held in the building on North College hill, the present site of Carbin hall.
Although the University was provided for in 1853, in the first constitution of Kansas Territory, first degrees were conferred in 1873. Four degrees were given that year; in 1935, 823 degrees were granted.
The present campus site consisted first of a 40-acre grant made to the university by Governor Robinson, the state's mayor, and the degree of the 100 acres was later purchased.
In 1872, Fraser Hall was opened for classes and the central part of the camp was gradually removed from North College hill; as more buildings were built in campus. The old building on North College hill was abandoned in January, 1917.
New students having difficulty in finding the various buildings and departments may find the following directions helpful:
The Memorial Union building, located on the northeast corner of the campus, is the recreational center on the University campus. It provides a safe time of the students, and to encourage a general participation in the informal, cultural, and social life of the students.
On the first floor of the Memorial Union are the main lobby and the lounging rooms which are furnished with a sofa, chair, rug, table, chairs and divans, reading and game tables. The lost and found bureau, the book rental library, and the information desk provide easy access.
The University cafeteria, with a private dining room for small groups, is in the basement. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, and refreshments are served.

There will be several additional campus musical events during the annual music week festival in early May, a Fine Arts concert on April 5 featuring performances on musicon tables by imported and local talent.

License Applications Due
Permits Must Be Obtained to Park Cars on Campus
Students who wish to park their cars on the campus during the coming school year should apply right away for K.U. parking licenses at the office of Henry Werner, Men's Adviser, room 1 Administration building.
Ample time will give before parking regulation go into effect and the committee will pass on applications if they are received. When the "clamp" is removed, no excuses are allowed, according to George Shipyer campus traffic officer.
The licensing plan allows those who must drive a chance to park their car near their classes or work and prevents jamming and crowding of the campus with cars not actually needed for transportation.
