Just a Gentle Reminder of Things to Come . . . What, No Grips? . . . The Elkhart Tells You Why-There's a Woman in it.
So the little Spring Breezes blew merrily about the campus and thought to themselves they thought they did that vacation is over and the time has come to hasten forth with, "Come back, come here." You'll be surprised that it ain't no more vacation you'll have, instead you'll getting only one more month of school with a little more time tacked on for finalizing and the month taken up because you'll having term poopers to writing for your dear professors and you said it, I said my fraan. Then spake the little breezes and the students from the editorial for Charlie Brown, it was and is no more than the truth. There really isn't much use in printing something like this but the weather has been nice at school for the past three for four days.
—simply because everyone was at home,
and then we thought perhaps you'd like
be reminded that you must work all
over, and play around of playing around
and frying stakes.
We can't understand why we didn't get a lot of grips in the mail during vacation. After all, everyone knew that we had to fill this column the day after vacation—four days of watching nothing happen on our holiday and we have appreciated a little help.
We didn't get to see the Relys because we were going through that painful process called "looking for a job". However, we did manage, as usual, to hear a few little thingujaimsajus and there. Quite a surprise that Glenn here those fellows beat him in the classic event of the days—especially when there were only four of them and he had a dad who was a great painter. All, all these little things are of minor importance—four fellows to race against and the flu, what a setup, a set up Putting those punx excuse aside though, the Flyer did have a real excuse. He said that he was so jittery after shaking hands with Queenie Manary that he couldn't run for sour apples or small pots (it all needed the same way so why to try make something out of it). We understand that Red "MGM" Black-burned offered him a crooning job she'd get over the jitters but he refused—didn't want to do that, and the Manary are all former residents of Elkhar, Ka Maybe they can work themselves up into a national hook-up some day, who knows, who knows, who what person would have any idea?
And so saying, the Kansa's becker reached the end of his rope. We go now—to make a valiant attempt to blow a spring cold out of the head, and think up things and stuff about people and dogs, cats, mice, erickers, and chameleons. To do this we must be on hand daily today with your anties and make the load a little lighter.
CANVAS BY BLOCH ADDED TO COLUMBUS COLLECTION
Word has just come to the School of Fine Arts that a canvas of Professor Albert Bloch, who is head of the department of drawing and painting, has been recently added to the permanent collection of the Gallery of Fine Arts at Columbus, Ohio.

Shepherd Expects to Return
Snoopie expects to ketern
Orrin Shepherd, b35, who has been out of work for a year, expects to return from his home in Kansas City, Kan. in about ten days.
When country boys and girls run off from the farms or small towns to the cities, it has always been assumed that they were either seeking their fortunes or else going to see for themselves the wonders described by visiting travelling salesmen, relatives, or friends from the city. Science has intervened, however, with a new approach where not only intelligence has a bearing on rural migration to the metropolis.

Sociological Survey Seeks Average Intelligence Level of Rural Migrants
NUMBER 138
During the past year, Prof. Noel P. Gist, of the sociology department, with the assistance of Prof. C. D. Clark, head of the department of sociology, has been assigned to assist in which select the migrants from Kansas rural communities to the cities. With the aid of Gordon Voorbees, c37, and Elgin Perry, c35, CSEP students, and Wray Chateo, c36, and the harry Baker, c35, students in the sociology department, Prof. Gist and Prof. Clark have been active as part of several recent people from all parts of Kansas.
In preparing this project, Prof. Gis and his associates have been attempting to answer the question as to whether the cities are attracting people with superior, average, or low intelligence, or a cross section of the rural population.
Back in 1922-23, the School of Education here at the University conducted intelligence tests among a large number of high school and junior high school students in the smaller Kansas towns. In making the population study, the investigators are using these intelligence tests. On the assumption that many of the individuals given these tests 13 years ago have already migrated, if they are found to be still alive, then find out if it is people with superior age or low intelligence who

Prof. Gist is first trying to find out just where the 3025 "subjects" now live. After this has been done, he will find out what occupation these people are engaged in and try to determine what particular line of work is attracting those with superior intelligence and those of the other two degrees.
forsake their small communities in favor of the cities.
Just how are Prof. Gist and his assistants able to find out this information about these 3,000 people? It has meant practically an endless job of research, but in the past few years, masters in the 40 towns where these 3,000 people formerly lived, with the relatives and friends of the particular subjects, they have been able to secure their information. In cases where they have been entirely unable to unearth satisfactory information, the missing person teams have been dropped from the study.
At this time, the project has not been fully completed and the results are not expected to be known until shortly before graduation this coming spring. According to Prof. Gist, who is in charge of the project, "Interesting and unusual results are anticipated when the study has been finished."
