Yoicks, Huzza, and Here We Come With a Campaign . . . We Hear About Pingo Senate . . . From the Union Comes an Onion.
LAWRENCE, KANSAS, THURSDAY, APRIL 25, 1935
Now that we have had exposes, lawsuits, peace strikes, and just anything else you might care to mention, we're going to get away from that old stuff and try to do a little good re-organizing right here at home. It isn't even remotely associated with peace and arms, unless you care to take the point of view of feminine armies and a little peace when you take a lady fair to a dance. (Now you're allowed to do that, but you'll try to get to the point as soon as possible.) We refer, dear ones, to the story in yesterday's paper about the pre-War crime called "inch" in which on at collegiate parties. We don't have to attack it—Chet Hamm and some associates did that in the story, but we would like to back him up on a condemnation of the practice. If cutting would be abolished, dances on the Hill would be taken out of the collegiate rattle race and put back to the enjoyable evenings they are supposed to be . . , and then that even before Ling Po had a chance.
We hear from the back office that the men working for the buildings and grounds committee have been doing a little protesting because this year they weren't let off to see the Relays. Think how funny they must feel when they hear that the decision was made this year because in times past, they always went every place but to the Relays when they were let up. Naughty boys.
We like, every now and then, to hear what the fellows are up to with whom we went to college classes in the dear dead days beyond recall. . . I'll have pickle and onion both on mans . . . and there's a lot of fun when Ping Senate, now bothering the others who work for the Copper Publications in Topoka. We thought it was pretty swell to learn that Ping had recently a little promotion thrown his way but it makes us just a riffle to hear that he's been doing a little running around with his friends at home. That almost makes two promotions at one time doesn't it?
Heard an interesting bit of news yesterday from one of the Union fountain soda pushers. Say he, "The PI Flirts have all come back from vacation looking more intelligent than I ever seen them... you know they just sit around and look a lot smarter than usual, like maybe they'd found out that the bunny didn't lay those Easter eggs and they were wondering if anyone else was in on the knowledge." Well, to say the least, there's a new point of view for you.
Little Echoes from Hither and Thither (is that a nasty heading or is that a nasty headning?). . . Poor old Charley Blue Mill Long has rimmed the student coke drinkers for so many nickels that he up and bought himself a new Packard
--that's adding insult to something or . . . the Campus like hedges are really doing more than their bit toward making it endurable to go to class in weather like this—you can sit in class in Fraser and smell the flowers while wondering why Bryon did it, the kitten. He reminds us that we saw a damselfish in lounging pajamas, beach paijans, or just plain pajamas, sitting in front of the A. D. Pi house yesterday digging the little yellow perils out for all she was worth. . . They should water the soap in the library just a trilure more; we can dandelion a getting some of us to lather the day, and that would never, never do.

Coach Leyden is striving for a smoothly running football machine. His coaching staff is working on the many fire points of the game. Tom Conley, for instance, a pupil of Rockne, is demonstrating the fine points of end play, Ireland is showing the men how to block, to tackle, and to run interference.
Irish Prepare for Game
From South Bend comes word that 390 men, under direction of Coach Elmer Landen, are preparing for the Notre Dame side of the Kansas-Northeastern game, which is to open the football season both schools, at South Bend, Sept. 28.

Chet Grant and Bill Cerny, with Steve Banks and George Melnikovich to help out, are developing backfields for the Irish.
Coach Layden has held several seri-
mages, and is fairly well satisfied with

'Will Insects Conquer Us?' Ask Entomologists
By Edward Barnett, c'37
"The labor of a million men in America is lost annually through crop destruction by insects."
"Upon the success or failure of trained entomologists during the next 50 years depends the margin between sufficiency and deficiency in increasing population of the world."
"In the last 30 years, the damage done by insects has increased enormously." These statements by L. O. Howard chief of the Department of Agriculture's Bureau of Entomology, are typical of insect authorities throughout the world.
Will insects conquer us? As Howard has said, the answer to that question depends upon the work of entomologists.
Before an injurious insect can be brought under control, it must be classified, and its life history must be known in detail. Student entomologists working for advanced degrees perform much of this research.
Roman S. B. Abalos, c. 33, a Filipina student in the University, chose the genus Ophiola (Homeoptera, Cicadellia) as his field of study, and succeeded

The genus Ophiola is a member of the general class called "leaf-hoppers," and although only about an eighth of an inch long, is of the same family as the large cicada, or "locust" which it closely resembles. The Ophiola is not considered particularly injurious to plant life, but a related group, the genus Typhiobcile Chloria, does great damage to fruit trees.
Insects constitute three-fourths of the weight of animal life on the earth. Examples of the amazing powers of reproduction of insects are patent: If food is available, a single housefly may have, in one season, as many as 5,598,720,000 descendants; and a cabbage house, or aphia, in a single season would have, if sufficient food were at hand, enough descendants to weigh five times the estimated weight of all the people in the world.
Two reasons why insects do not reach this terrifying potential abundance are lack of food and cannibalism. Entomologists have seized upon this cannibalistic, or parasitic, tendency in insects, or put it as a powerful weapon against them.
Many of the most destructive insect pests, such as the European corn-borer, the cotton-boll weevil, the Japanese beetle, and the Hessian飞虱, have been brought in from other lands. One of the conditions permitting their great increase has been the absence of their predators. Many of these injurious insects in their native environment, where they generally are unimportant, entomologists learn what other insects prey upon them. Introduction of the parasites into infested

Social Worker Talks at Meeting of Sociology Club
Hans Hoiberg Speaks Here
Speaking before the Sociology Club yesterday afternoon Hans Roiberg, assistant director of workers' education division of the KERC, outlined the plans and problems of adult education in Kansas.
Mr. Holberg emphasized the need for an understanding of the major social problems of today on the part of the voters in general, saying that the present program of adult education is being planned to meet that need. The main focus of this vision is the instruction of residents in farm and labor communities in contemporary problems in economics and the other social sciences. Kansas is one of the twenty-five states in which such educational opportunities are being offered. There are now 36 counties in this state giving one or more such workers' jobs.
Mr. Hoiberg described the entire plan of the project; the way in which the classes are set up; the training of the teachers, and various other problems that arise from the work. A guest discussion by members of the club followed his talk.
