"IN DAYS OF OLD"
"In days of old, when trumpets were bold and roamed the K.U. campus," there was a marvelous sight to greet wondering eyes! The ritzest co-ed and the best tailored man on the campus so ragged and tattered that they were not to be recognized, the Hobo Convocation turning out to be the best varity of the year, old Doc Yak dispensing pep in immense does, cash prizes for the most awful looking hobo and "hoboeette," street beggars lining the campus walks, a Phi Beta Kappa skating to and from class in Ad building, and to add a last glorious touch, a formerly quiet and unassuming freshman chewing to tobacco. What a swell day of fun for everybody that used to be, years ago!
We can have all that fun again this year if everyone will co-operate. You old students at the University cannot possibly want the new ones to think you are growing stodgy and getting a bad case of "scientific-mind." Show these new people what a real old-fashioned Hobo Day is like, and let them see that never in their lives have they taken part in anything so colorfully foolish and full of fun.
Another simile for Jayhawker speech: As influential as the president of the Freshman Class in the Men's Student Council.
BACHELOR OF ART MORONS
American colleges are reaping the harvest of the depression. And the harvest is a first-class group of moronic individuals who have taken advantage to the nth degree of the opportunity afforded by the colleges; namely, that no one would be flunked out of an institution as long as his tuition fees were so welcome to the resources of the institution.
Five years ago the tendency of weeding out undesirable freshmen was on the up-grade. Hundreds were denied the privileges of returning the second semester in all institutions because they were considered unfit to adapt themselves to college education. Then the picture changed with the coming of the depression. It became almost an impossibility to flunk out the worst of the lot (they would quickly be reinstated). Immediately college standards began to slump.
Flanking out the unfit may seem to be a cruel duty. But who can justify the action which allows thousands of individuals to waste time and money at the troughs of public education, all in the name of the depression, when their advisers are convinced and their friends are convinced that they have no place in college? Hundreds of individuals who should have flunked out of college in their freshman year individuals by whom this time would have found their niches in life, are going to be graduated, without honors, within the next few years Can such lowering of standards be justified?
HOMECOMING OF THE GAY '29'S
Speaking of the good old days, it looks as if they're slowly creeping back, here at Kansas. First there is the big hope that Hobo Day will be back this year. And now Homecoming brings the news that the houses are going to decorate.
Most of us can't even remember that pleasant old custom of the days before the great bugaboo, Depression, swept so many jolly things off the campus. Decorating used to be a very elaborate business, with prizes offered for the most successful house.
We're not going in for anything expensive this year. We're still not back in the prosperity period. But we're not going to lose out on all our fun. It doesn't take a lot of money to hang a "Welcome" sign over your door. Those lights in the form of your fraternity or pin add a lot at night. And a big painted Jayhawk will woven things up unbelievably. Decorate, and make those homecoming grads think it's one of the shows they used to put on themselves.
The Germans, it seems, are improving. Their new religion has only nine commands.
Grandpa Grump says the best government on earth is a beneficent despotism tempered by the fear of assassination.
THEY MISSED SOMETHING
The Don Cossack Chorus presented the first concert of the 1934 35 course in the University Auditorium Friday evening, and, as usual, a number of students cut class. We say they cut class, because they missed a supplementary lesson in perhaps one, perhaps several, courses they may be taking.
If they failed to hear the astounding range of voices exemplified by the chorus, a range almost as wide as that of a piano keyboard, along with the unified harmony of the chorus, they missed a lesson in music appreciation. One might even say they missed a lesson in physiology.
Those who missed seeing the control which Serge Jaroff, the miniature director, exercised over that group of men, most of whom towered above him in height, missed a lesson in psychology which was as valuable as a laboratory experiment.
Even the practice teachers might have gleaned inspiration from the apparent ease with which
he conveyed his ideas to the minds of his chorus and brought about the execution of those ideas he seemed to desire.
Then too, the student of dramatics might have learned something of positive or negative value to his course of study. There must have been some lesson to him in the unusual and amusing manner in which Mr. Jaroff made his exits and entrances and took his bows. And so the students who stayed away because they thought they couldn't appreciate high-brow music, missed something.
A New Fraternity Criteria
Because of the general appraisal at the present time of the fraternity system, concerted action to prove to colleges and universities that fraternities are a constructive force in academic life was taken at the recent joint meeting of the executive committee of the National Interfraternity Conference and its Educational committee at the University of Oklahoma.
Daily Illini.
A new fraternity criteria intended to establish closer co-operation between fraternity and educational institutions, the university, and fraternity are the first formal declaration of the conference in regard to definite standards of responsibility of the fraternity. These standards will be bringing to the new platform, the fraternity is under obligation to encourage the most complete personal development of its members, intellectual, physical and so on.
The standards, adopted at a joint meeting of the executive committee and six deans of the educational advisory committee are:
"We consider the fraternity responsible for a positive contribution to the
primary functions of the colleges and universities, and therefore under an obligation to encourage the most complete personal development of its members, intellectual, physical, and social. There-ore we declare;
1. "That the objectives and the activities of the fraternity should be in entire accord with the aims and purposes of the institutions at which it has chapters."
2. "That the primary loyalty and the responsibility of a student in his relations with his institution are to the institute, for instance, that each group of students as to a chapter of a fraternity involves the definite responsibility of the group for the conduct of the student."
3. "That the fraternity should create an atmosphere which will stimulate substantial intellectual progress and superior intellectual achievement.
4. "That the fraternity should promote conduct consistent with good morals and good taste.
5. "That the fraternity should maintain sanitary, safe and wholesome physical conditions in the chapter house."
6. "That the fraternity should inculcate principles of sound business practice both in chapter finances and in the business relations of its members."
This platform contains the identical points stressed by Arthur Curta Willard at a dinner of the Interfraternity Alumni and the last section of the criteria was one that was especially emphasized by President Willard and it is directly connected with raising the ethical values of fraternities. It also emphasizes the fraternities of the country are meeting the thrusts that have been forced upon them by fair critics of the system. However, it will require more than mere for-credit of such a plan to make it an actuality.

After the second play, however, the crowd was on to Jaredf's fake play of going between tackle and guard, of taking it under stand, and coming back around end.
But once he pulled a fast one and scored on the replay play. But it wasn't until the close of the game that backlash came men out on some spinners play that the crowd really got their freezy up to touchdown pitch. Even the military ball scorts with their stiff fronts to had to refrain from pound-hitting, and the intense moments for fear the bare-back of some damsel in formal might be in the way. But the ordinary individuals, who had no desire to go forward, were well wilted before their collars were well wilted before the performance was over—W.B.
