TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1935 ARE OUR HONOR SOCIETIES WORTH WHILE? An honor society should be t a campus what service clubs are to a city. Owl and Sachem are to the University what the Chamber of Commerce and the Rotary club are to Lawrence. By the activity of its service clubs the city of Lawrence, or any other city, is known for its degree of aggressive public spiritedness and general progressiveness. These clubs are the main springs of municipal activity, the originators of public trends and opinions, the regulators of local policies. The strength of these clubs is the measuring stick for the strength of the town How do our honor societies measure up to their responsibilities? Have they formulated any desirable programs? Have they backed any worthy movements? Have they, in general, been as representative of the University as they should be? By a look at the expenditures in the 1933-34 treasurer's report we find that Owl's major expenditure is listed at $124.68 for keys. Besides the Jayhawker space expenditures and other run-of-the-college payments, we find the other two expenditures that loom largest in their output are for banquets, ($29.15) and for cigars ($2.35). From this it is apparent that Owl is useful only to its members, who do not necessarily represent anything but the foremost politicians of the campus, not the actual founders of movements in campus life. To say that they have shirked their duties is to say that they are not worthy of the name they bear, that of "honor society." They have not anything that should warrant their existence as such a society. We have on our campus a Union building as yet uncompleted. So far as Owl and Sachem are concerned it is perfection itself. At least they have offered no plan, nor willingness, to solve its problem. This is only an example of what campus problems should demand the attention of honor societies. There are many more, if Owl and Sachem would care to investigate. Again we ask, "Are the honor societies fulfilling their duties to the campus?" If their major activities consist of wearing keys, holding banquets, and smoking cigars, there is serious doubt that they are. With the coming of warm weather will come the passing of the revolving doors from Snow hall and the Chemistry building. Every time we get through one of those blamed things we have to stop and congratulate ourselves on not being ground to bits. A glance at the genealogies of some of Europe's royal families will convince anyone that there haven't been any wars in Europe for centuries just family quarrels.

MANY KANSANS HAVE PROFITED BY CECIL RHODES LAST WISH Winners of Oxford Scholarships Favor Education as Life Work; Also Have Entered Law, Government, Business, Literature and Engineering By Robert G. Patt "You know what my ideas are; see that you carry them out. If you don't I'll come back and worry you." With this simple comment, Cecil Rhodes closed his last will. Written in terse, common phrases, it has suffaced to send more than a thousand scholars to Oxford since the death of that British internationalist and statesman in 1902. Thirty-two American students each year and representatives of every British territory and Germany are granted the opportunity. Ray Miller recently won a Rhodes scholarship for 1953 and will go to England next fall as the ninth graduate of the University of Kansas to gain this honor. Under the present system each state annually selects candidates for the national plan allowed by states scholarships each year. Kansas has sent 20 Rhodes scholars to Oxford, 11 of whom came from other schools in the state or were residents of this state matriculated at other universities. H. T. Cunningham, of Wichita, a rhodes scholar last year, went to Yale. He took advantage of the provision which allows scholars to apply either in the state of residence or in the state where they are at the time studying. W. D. P. Carey, of Hutchinson, Cornell University, became a rhodes scholar in the same campus. The University of Kansas nine scholarships, Baker University's three, Washburn university's two, The College of Emporia's two, Southwestern's one, and Bethany's one make up the total of twenty. The first scholarships were offered in 1904; Earl W. Murray fortunately gained one of these for the University. He later returned to teach Latin here. G. E. Putnam, a graduate of 1908 who also attended Yale, went next from Oread to Oxford; he returned to KU. as a professor of economics. C. A. Castle, University of Kansas Rhodes scholar for 1914, entered government consular service. L. R. Miller of 1916 became a journalist abroad. E. S. Mason, of 1019, and Ralph M. Hower, of 1025, both travelled from K.U. to Oxford to professorships at Harvard. Brewster Morgan received in 1827 the last University appointment prior to that of Ray Miller this year. An investigation in 1927 by the trustees of the Rhodes Scholarships Fund revealed that educational work later claims a majority of the Rhodes scholars, leading other fields in the following proportions: education, 452, law, 334, business and industry, 178, medicine, 109, government service, 88, ministry and social work, 45, literary and journalism, 38, mining and engineering, 33, farming, 23, forestry, 15, and army and naval service, 25. Rhodes men favor law as a course of study at Oxford as 434, up to 1927, enrolled in law, 187 studied history, and 162 followed the natural sciences. Conviviality and love of talk have formed many clubs at Oxford. The debating societies dominate social life, and groups of various interests satisfy most students interests. All Americans belong to the American Club. Prof. W. E. Sandelius of the political science department, a Rhodes scholar from Idaho, tells of the diverse activity in any of the twenty-seven colleges which make up Oxford University. One may follow a purely scholastic, or athletic, literary, artistic, political, or musical path through college. Athletics form an important phase of Oxonian life, much the same as on American campuses. Rowing is the classic sport, football is the most popular Oxford-Cambridge regatta as the high season of the year. The school also holds competition in Rugby football, track and field, cricket, field hockey, tennis, golf, swimming, boxing, lacrosse, and fencing. The proficient athlete is awarded a "blue," an insignia in the color of Oxford, taking the place of the American "letter." COMMENTS "If can be seen," says Professor Sandelius, "that Ray Mayer's life abroad will not be dull. The annuity offered by the Rhodes scholarship is sufficient to include a great deal of extracurricular activity and travel in England." BEAUTY AND BRAINS Miss Maria Leonard, dean of women at Illinois, breaks into print with a statement that the time-honored saying, "Beautiful but dumb," is definitely out in the new era of college education. She points out that several beauties hold responsible campus offices in several universities. Reassuring as this may be, a little thought brings out the pessimistic observation that not all homely women are smart. LONG TO LEGISLATURE In an endeavor to find out how the other half lives, we suspect, the Kansas legislature would invite the swearing senator from Louisiana to speak before them. The staid Kansas Capitol will hear for the first time in many years the thundering tones of an orator who rules by his power of personality. If he comes to Topeka, it would be well worth your while to hear him. SIGNS OF SPRING ACTIVITY In about two months the campus will be littered with handbills advocating the focus of sundry candidates for sundry campus political jobs. W.S.C.A. voters do not go in for handbills, which is so much to their credit. But we hear through certain channels that the girls are already "combining." CAMPUS OPINION Articles in this column do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the University Daily Raman. Articles over 200 words in length are invited to submit their contributions on any subject are invited. Editor Daily Kansan: Here I am at last doing the thing I swore I never would do—writing to you about the doors recently constructed to keep the north wind from whipping in the entrance to Snow hall. Whoever designed the new swinging door has probably satisfied himself that he has met one of the requirements and kept the wind out but at the same time, he has done more. The job was so thorough that he has concurred to keep students out as well as we have. So if you go down there between classes and watch the battle to get in and out, I guess later the designer will attach some dingues onto the axis of the door and get steam enough to generate electricity for the building. But until this plan is worked out, I will have to consider the door a failure. C.D.B. ROCK CHALKLETS Conducted by R.J.B. Nestest Alibi of the Week: A student who was caught looking at a neighbor's paper during a test calmly replied: "I was only trying to see if he needed any help." For Schiller Shore's cartoon of George Snyder, the campus constable, decked out in one of those new-fangled Atlantic City police uniforms we raise to his attention. If he would be done full justice in the event he should wear one of those uniforms. Please, Mrs. Dionne, do not come to Kansas! Any lady that drinks ten bottles of pop and caps off that accomplishment with champagne, would not be a "fit person" to give talks on "Motherhood" since our beer bill met with such opposition—Bertha Shore in Augusta Gazette.
