Our Last Letter—We Hope. Why
You Strike You. Brute. The People's
Choice Again—No Shoes
This Time
Dear Jesefus; (Have you been called that yet?)
I've been meaning to write you a letter all semester, but just couldn't get down to writing it. Hope you have heard it. You haven't seen anything about me in it - here it's my chance, but I'm not signifying my name. Your column is all right I guess, but like the Sour Owl and Jayhawker you use the same people's names, but only yourself, but everyone else is getting sick and tired of hearing: We'll head the list with Betty Lou McFarland, next comes Lyman Field. Then there is George Guernsey, Fred Harris, the entire EP Fitzgerald, the Cinderella, the Betsa, and too many others. I thought for a while that I got pretty tried of jug-Head Wood gets so much space but he's always pretty good copy the dope, so we'll let him pass. Thanks for reading this anyway - Yours in the
M. Secnarf.
Didn't we know we had any Russian in school but thanks for the letter anyway. Can't imagine you being tired of teaching, but we love George but of course that's up to you dear . . . sorry we can't promise to make it better next year but maybe we'll make it better next year.
On the Zoology Bulletin Board this notice was pinned. It was dated May 25th: "The militia was called out to assist with the rescue of Snow hall. It was alleged Steve Stotts, alias the "Blood Butcher" was trying to muscle into the vice presidency of the Zoology Club, by using his bullets. The officer who der has been restored with difficulty, but Major Kickinpants hopes that he has the situation well in hand." Incidental to this is the fact that the three officers have not yet been elected.
w really intended to lay off of Harry "Jac's Boy cout" Lane but the other three had to do the troop (124) sitting in the blue job outside of the Marinello shop waiting while Jac got herself beautiful when that Harry said he was going in next.

Then there's the one about the girl in the English course who, along with the rest of the class, was assigned as her last theme a story of her life, from which she can't sure if she's turned the story in yet but rumor has it that in about the middle of the story she states, "And at this point in my life I entered convent and stayed until I reached sixteen years of age certainly takes its toll little, surprise."
Of course we don't mean to say that we're not sorry for the poor professor as well as ourselves, but if more of the local instructors would follow Prof Ferguson's advice, we would arms just before finals they might reel a little on the exams because then they'd know exactly how we feel after we've written about five of the things
Really saw one of the local boys with his disguise off, etc. this morning. Bent Barteldes had just returned from getting his car out of the lonely mud roads west of the campus and those size ten of his looked pretty fine with over them instead of shoes. No, we didn't ask how him the car we got there.

Cochrane Contemplates Elimination of 'Rat Race' for University Varsities
A 15-year-old KU. tradition will be broken next year. The University will have its first staless varsity dance.
By Chet O. Hamm, gr.
"The University is laging as far as taking action to abolish cutting is concerned," claims Bill Cochrane, manager of the university. He noted that several vassars next year will be only for dated couples. Mr. Cochrane said that cutting is a practice common only to this locality. The Universities of Iowa, Texas, Colorado, Wisconsin and Utah are colorado state bilt stage at their vassats. In the Eastern schools cutting is taboo.
"I am opposed to cutting in general," asserted Cochran, "and after expert advice I went back to getting only medico results, and since I have received demands from students for less cutting, I have decided to leave dances next year from cutting."
"I don't doubt that the girls will dislike the idea of stagged dresses," said Mr Cochrane, "because they have the most hair. I don't see how to see how many times they can be cut
"Personally I think cutting tends to turn a dance into a chase and it would be better if all the boys brought dates. As for myself I hate to go to a dance and I'm not one of them, so I go busting back and forth tagging the life out of you. Some of the older students have told me that after the freshman excitement we off, the variation appear to them as being a mild scrambler and we were one on ones on annuums have labeled it.
Farrell Delivers Aggie Commencement Address
President Asks Graduates to Shoulder Social Responsibility
Manhattan, May 27. —(UP)— That honest social responsibility, like charity, begins at home and is a responsibility which cannot honestly be disclaimed was the final admonition and counsel to the more than 400 members of the Kansas State college graduating class tonight. The speaker was President Francis Dearrell of the college principal commitment address
Other speakers included Gov. Alf M. Landon and Drew McLaughlin of the state board of regents, each of whom spoke briefly to the several thousand persons, including parents and members of friends of the IOS class.
"Not all members of society bear In general the strong and privileged equal shares of social responsibility must bear a larger share than do the weak and the underprivileged." Doctor Farrell explained.
"Because he enjoys private privileges, a college graduate is expected to bear more than the average share of social responsibility. He is expected to have unusual solicitude for the order of security, and the progress of society."
Governor A.I.F. M. Landon yesterday requested that the state school books commissioned by the state departments of the University of Kansas, Kansas State College, and recent text book adoptions by the com- mercial Teachers' College to review
"Social responsibility is increasingly likely to become futile, and even spurious, as it is projected farther and farther from one's self and one"<sup>1</sup>. We would be happier people if we applied more social responsibility to ourselves and to our own immediate surroundings.<sup>2</sup>. In his final words to the group a undergraduate recommended that each graduate recognize definitely a responsibility to society, a responsibility he believes cannot honestly be disclaimed.
The governor's action followed the controversy that arose Saturday over the action of the commission in ordering the reintroduction of several of the grade and high school texts.

during an evening. At least they are opposed to eliminating the stags altogether. Another thing that has kept the popularity of the stag line in so long it lack of interest, or the laziness, or the part of the men who attend the event. Anyway, I am going to experiment next year with some stagless dresses. Cochrane concluded.
"The suggestion to have a leap year dance is a good one. At this dance the girls will be allowed to stage and do the dance in the hall, so the boys and the boys that come with a date will be prohibited from cutting. Why not turn the so-called test of popularity on the boy for a change?" Mr. Cochrane suggested. Some of the fellows, accordingly, are quite the social lion and tag whom they please and as often as they like. "I think this will certainly show the fellows where they stand with the girls in regard to dancing. Also, why should you choose once in while at the dances?"
A survey of student opinion indicated that Cochrane has acted in the right direction to eliminate the cutting system.
section to eliminate the system.
Lee Judy, who attends the varsity dances frequently, says: "Cutting depends on one thing—the girl. Usually the man takes a date with whom she will meet and not care to be interrupted after a few steps. In order for the girl to circulate among men, partners may be trudged. In other hands there are men who do not care to take a date to a dance, and if these men are allowed to attend they should make some arrangement beforehand that they will have of having neither or by cutting."
Joan Jankowke, judged the most alluring she last fall, thinks the stalagms dances are a good idea. "It might chame out our rat races in dances again," she
Tacy Campbell is agreeable to the naces managed by Mr. Cuechah, who has gone back to the old way of having too many stags if the stagless dancers didn't.
Beryl Kemp sees possibilities in the leap year dances in that they would add variation to the University dance program.
'Siesta' Time Finds Accounting Prof's Hunger Satisfied
By Murray Flynn, c'sp.
M. J. Juduc's pre- lunch hunger was been satisfied. With a satisfied gleam in the professional eye he marched into the classroom, and carefully closed the door,
Was this his accounting class, or could he have wandered into a home economics group? This unthinkable possibility was discouted upon beholding "igars." Mr. Jucius was quite sure home owners were now starmed his masculine stronghold.
Turing, he beheld roll-on-roll of inocent, wide-wake faces. Suspicious of such mental alertness in the post dinner "scienta" hour, he turned, and Be
"Polished apples, gleaning oranges, sleek lippery critical lemons, juvenile appearing lines, grapefruit"—piled high on his desk.
Mr. Jucius then proceeded to thank his benefactor for what is considered to be one of the most successful "literary" authors in business history. The altruistic appearing motivation of the offering had to be somewhat qualified by the thought that accounting its next meeting would involve in desperate combat with its finals.
No partiality was shown in the peace offering. The class had taken no chances upon their professor having an anti-orange or an anti-onion complex in their various tokens of esteem and appreciation of Mr. Juckroth's daily presence.
Further investigation disclosed a box of aspirin secreted in the fruit. Mr. Junius was not quite sure what it contained, but he saw for his personal use while grading the class papers, or whether they were to be passed around the classroom during the lesson.
"Apples" to his future health, oranges for "hopefulness" cigars to melow him, lemons to — ah, ah, sweeten them, unions to — oh, well you guess.
Mr. Jucius was particularly impressed by the number of highly polished apples among his collection. It was not unreasonable to suppose that he was of any particular significance.
Mr. Jucius was of the opinion that his assortment of fruit was much superior to that contributed by the Detroit base-fans to one, Joseph Medwick, last October. "Mine included cigars and aspirin," he pointed out.

Under N.
By the United Press
Washington, May 27—Congress and the American people must work out methods to "keep the pain made under NRA," Donald R. Richberg, chairman of the recovery agency said tonight after a conference calling the supreme court decision holding the NRA unconstitutional.
He said the federal government would drop all methods of compulsory enforcement of code of fair competition in line with the supreme court ruling today. Richberg appealed to employers who have signed codes to maintain their fair treatment under the recovery agency pronounced.
Decision Was Unanimous
The supreme court got at the heart of NRA today by ruling in the Schechter Poultry company case that the congress exceeded its power when it authorized President Raewalt to promulgate codes. The court's unanimous decision also held that the federal government had no authority to impose wage limits or other regulations merely because that business touches on sor a phase of interstate commerce.
Richberg went to the White House where he spent more than two hours with President Roosevelt. Attorney General Homer F. Cummings, and Solicitor General Stanley Reed also attended the conference.
One Phase Survives
Richberg was appointed spokesman for the New Deal legal expert. He said there was one phase of NRA covered by today's decision which would continue to operate regardless of the supreme court. That, he said, is in the field of "Contractual obligation." In other words, Richberg's employee which does not require the sanction or enforcement of the federal government.
Amendments May Help

Lawsuits have proved a key to whether the supreme court opinion was a death warrant for NRA. Some thought it was, but Chairman Pat Harrison of the senate finance committee said amendments could be worked out which would meet objections of the supreme court.
