A LETTER TO MR. PFUETZE Dear Hans:
We've been getting an inferiority complex at the basketball games lately, ever since the thought struck us that our opponents and our favorite townpeople might think that our cheering vocabulary has been depleted to "K-A-N-S-A-S," "Kansas Fights," and an elusive "Rock Chalk, Jayhawk."
Somehow we get just as much pepped up over basketball as we did over football, despite the absence of rain and hot dogs (there's a suggestion—hot dogs!), and if some of that excess lung power could be expended usefully, it might be so apt to stray into a healthy boo.
Another thing, Hans, we've always been sort of proud of the anties you and the boys get off, even though we haven't said much about it. Why don't you get out there and show them off a little?
We'll be looking forward to some of the rousing old standbys next time we meet. And let's have a lot of them!
Yours respectfully.
Yours respectfully, A Flock of Loyal Jayhawkers
From the bench of the Federal Court Judge Johnson predicts that a hundred years will be required for the recovery of the nation from this depression. That settles it. We'll just quit worrying and start enjoying it.
THEY'RE BIG SHOTS BACK HOME
Once each year the director of the K.U. News Bureau mails news releases to a score or more Kansas newspapers, telling the various editors that one of their home town boys has been "elected" to the Junior Men's "Honor" society at K.U., explaining that this is the "highest honor to be bestowed upon a member of the Junior class."
The unknowing editor takes the release at its face value and gives the "home-town-boy-makes-good" story a prominent place on his front page. Our hero of the Owl Society becomes the pride of his former high school teachers, at least those who have never attended the University, and the idol of those unsuspecting youths who expect to come to K.U. when they graduate.
Records of past membership prove that affiliation with the right political party is the principal qualification for membership in this mis-named honor society. Leadership, scholarship, and strength of character have been lesser considerations.
As an organization, the group accomplishes nothing. Their activities for 1934 included three meetings and a banquet, the principal business of the meetings being the purchasing of keys and the buying of a page in the Jayhawk.
Our advice to ambitious underclassmen who aspire to membership in the Owl Society: Above all be diligent in the cultivation of the right people. Any spare time might be devoted to study, development
if leadership, and strengthening of character. But don't neglect the contacts, or you'll never be a big hot back home.

THE TOUGH LOSES CAST
Perhaps the thought is a little too optimistic, but the detailed story of Chicago's famed St. Valentine's day massacre as told by one of the gunmen sounds like a tale from another era.
The days when gangsters swagged onto the front pages and sneered at you over your morning coffee seem to have passed. Today the "big shots" have surrendered their places to a degenerate line of "public enemies" who are more apt to be dragged on to the front page in defeat.
Organized crime is by no means dead. The kidnapper has replaced the beer baron, but he is on the run and just about winded. Racketeering undoubtedly still exists in the cities, and perhaps may take as much tribute from business men as it did in 1929. The curious will have to seek statistics to find out. But one thing is evident without statistics. The racketeer no longer advertises himself with wars over "territories" and St. Valentine's day massacres. The old defiant insolence lives only in a few of the least intelligent and the luckiest criminals.
America's crime rate is not yet worthy of pride, but with the continuous pressure of an angry public behind the officials, we may yet reach a point where we can hold up our heads.
WHAT FUR?
The inconsistency of woman!
She says "No" when she means "yes." But nowhere is her colossal inconsistency more apparent than in the matter of dress.
On a frigid day one see scores o women draped in heavy fur coats But with these cozy garments they wear no hats; and they fail to but ton the coats. Girls of college-level intellect will go without food to own a fur coat. They attach this garment to their persons by means of the sleeves and let the rest billow out behind, a flag flaunted in the face of their non-fur-bearing sisters.
Can anyone explain this modern air conditioned female? Probably no man will ever understand the turn of the feminine mind which prefers the fur coat to the fatted calf, and leads otherwise intelligent woman to freeze resignedly if it can be done with a fur coat waving out behind.
If Integration Is Not a Sin
A number of divergent theories have been advanced by faculty men and students on this campus as to the proper way to represent the eve of a final examination.
The Michigan Daily
A few of these are: (1) to go to bed, early, get up and take a cold shower, (2) attend a movie, (3) imbibe enough beer to completely relax your mind and then go to bed (this one suggested by a student), (4) get a vigorous head massage (this one from an instructor), (5) in some courses it is best to stay up all night, thereby inducing a dazed condition, after which if you are lucky you will pass the final, and lastly, of course (6) don't "eram"), which carried us far into the province of opinion, where there is no "true" solution. It seems, however, that a little consideration succeeds in reducing the field. Some of these theories will hardly do.
It is a known fact that although alcoholic drinks may relax the mind they also deaden the thinking faculties. A head massage would probably knock out what little knowledge you had in your head. And while it may be advantageous for a student of Phi Beta Kappa intellect to go to bed early and sleep the sleep of a babe, what of Mr. and Miss average student?
As often as not they finish a course. Friday morning and then have their final examination on a Saturday afternoon. They "cram" a lot of facts into their heads and write their final in a dazed condition. If they guess right they may get a B, but if they don't it's just too bad.
Therefore theory number (5) is not as silly as it sounds on the surface.

V. S. G. A. BOOK EXCHANGE:
That it is an undesirable method is obvious, but nevertheless, students, even the best of them, are forced to sit up far into the nightly lighting to integrate the great mass of material that they have seen them during the source of a semester.
In most courses given here the integration of material is the goal rather than a knowledge of individual facts. This is especially true in such courses as sociology, economics, history, political science and philosophy.
What those charming, yet shiny nosed, young ladies need is not a combine but a nice bite so they can be stacked somewhere and left to cool.
The one and only possible way to reduce "cramming" for the average student is by instituting a constructive review period of say a week or two before final examinations. By constructive we mean a period before the end of the semester in which the instructor, instead of pressing questions, obliged him to a summation of the material he has offered in the preceding 14 weeks.
semester.
If instructors find objection to this plan on the basis that they would not have time enough to present all the material they would like, it may be suggested that a little careful pruning and attention to time demands early in the semester would improve most courses.
They swiped our clothes, they borrowed our soft collared shirts, and now they even wear our shorts in public. They vamped a football player into electing one of their number as beauty queen. They snubbed outsiders with jeans, and believed that were the chosen few of this barbed-wired fence campus.

The Zeros of Every 400
"Women have learned it is a privilege to stay at home," stated a prominent society leader recently. Maybe they have, but how few of them seem greatly interested in asserting the privacy?
The girls tried, oh so hard, to assert themselves just after the war, and what a fizzle they made of it. They wormed their way into men's jobs and wheeled his bos out of more raises than his afford; result, the boss went broke.
The women like to be in all competitions but the age old rules of chivalry must still prevail or they fall back on the wives and gulosee of their sex in order to keep their own way. Then they consider why they don't offer our seats in the street ear.
Professor Censures Women's Savagery In Cosmetics
Women today "stain their fingernails in such a manner that they resemble the claws of a tiger ripping up sheep" because they are really more interested in decorating themselves than in looking youthful.
The Brown, Daily Herald
It was in this vein that Professor
--in an expository writing course at the University of Michigan.
You Can Span Great Distances with FLOWERS
Curt J. Ducease censured the meager and faulty use by women of "the resources settyally at their disposal" in an address on "The Philosophy of Cosmetics" before a meeting of the Rhode Island Philosophical Society recently.

“If the reason for staining the fingernails is to provide decorative spots of bright color, why not green, or blue, or golden fingernails, and why not likewise green, or blue, or golden lips, eyebrows, greens or ears?” Especially with the addition of colored wigs to match, some wonderful effects could undoubtedly be achieved,” said Professor Ducase.
He remarked on a certain famous movie queen who has the harbarous habit of shaving off her eyebrows entirely. He suggested in place of this the substitution of "double eyebrows, or forked, or serpentine."

Eyebrow plucking, the use of false and similar devices are all for decorations and not for "youthful illusion," according to Professor Dusseau.
"If it is obvious to the beholder that the complexion he sees on our face is our own in the sense that we paid for it, or that the red of our lips came to her," she said. "But if you slide" then the use of cosmetics betrays the user instead of benefiting her.

On Other Hills
Appropriate for the coming week of final examinations is the following rhyme which every student would do well to keep in mind:
You can lead a horse to water,
but you can't make him drink.
And you can lead a pony to class,
but you can't make them collect.
State, Collegiate
In a debate on the question, "Is an old maid more useful on a farm than a wheelbarrow?" at Manitoba, the old maid lost by three votes.
Believe it or not, but a prize of $25 will be awarded to the student who writes the best final examination paper
Hear ye! all who made a bet
I'd never find a man.
Who doesn't think each gal he's met
Should kiss his ugly pan.
I met a boy on Friday night
(Reader start to swoon)
Whese manners were exactly right,
Regardless of the moon.
He knew the art of quick retort,
Which made it fun to talk.
He didn't care for daemons,
But much preferred to walk.
He said "Goodnight" politely,
Then he left me at the door;
Alas! He's only five feet three,
And I am five feet four.
