KING FOR A DAY
Three hectic days of rushing have been culminated and the fraternities emerge from their plotting and planning long enough to introduce to us the 1934-35 edition of pledges with appropriate noise and fan fare.
Mary is elated wearing her pledge shirt in a nice prominent place for all to see, and John goes around with a broad grin and won't take his coat off for nothing, not even the rays of old sol. It is not expected that these fortunate individuals will be considered as just ordinary human beings for several weeks anyway, as this is the period dedicated to kings, minor gods, and pledges so the old dogs on the campus are quietly preparing to step off the sidewalk if swelled-heads and chests crowd them up, but when the grittdust dresses off, then we'll all begin living like ordinary humans again.
After the first inflation, pledging will not permanently damage your skeletal frame, but the recovery will probably be left to your own discretion. Pledges, enjoy it for it's your hour of joy, but remember that behind every silver-lining there's a mop, a cake of soap, and a Ford tire to patch.
IS HE WORTH KNOWING?
With Colorado's Josephine Roche 10,000 votes to the bad, the fact still stands that no woman has as yet worn her own shoes into the governorship.
What potentialities lie dormant with this new crop of men and women that are coming onto the campus? Nobody knows.
Just give a glance at that chap you see on the campus — that stranger. He may be wearing cords; his trousers may be wrinkled; he may act with the mannerisms of Hickory Creek; he may stare at you blankly and his tongue may not respond to these new situations. A stranger among strangers! Is he worth knowing?
Upperclassmen, why laugh? If these humble, ignorant fresh could have but seen us in our zenith of worldly ignorance, would they have remotely considered even the best of us worth knowing? Nobody knows.
Little Sue Sarrell from 'way up north tells us that she's still looking for that pipe course that won't backfire.
SPIRIT OF KANSAS
From west to east under a still sizzling sun, parched fields passing in revue, the scourge of a summer seen fleetingly but distinctly—Kansas.
Range lands still bare, creek sands still thirsty, with but here and there pale green on the land of kindness; state hide the kindness of nature—Kames.
In a span of a few short hours the scene of the futility of man's endeavors in his conquest of nature flashes past.
But the forces of nature have not deterred the courage of its individuals. Four thousand sons and daughters from these sun-baked acres are answering the first curtain call to the Jayhawk stage. That's courage, undauntable will, a passion for knowledge. But four thousand more, as courageous, as daring must stay away who might have come. Some

were forced out in the grades; others hung on through high school; still others have entered college at one time or another, then found the struggle too difficult.
To the government for its aid,
in the CSEP, whole hearted
thanks must go on the part of
every student whether he shares
in the benefits of this project or
not. Hundreds find aid. And that
is good.
But thousands of others still thirst for knowledge as the dry sands of western Kansas thirst for rain. But to them it is denied and they wonder why.
Perhaps the task of the CSEP or the government is only begun. Will the day of selecting students from the most worthy, denying the privilege to others, give way to a Utopian education for all?
The munitions inquiry by the senate may be the start of a big blow up.
STUDENTS MUST EAT
"A choc'lit malt."
"Soum."
"An' rolls an' coffee."
Students must eat; but many are asking. "How?"
Umistakeably there has been an increase in living expenses this fall, not in all cases justified, and this has caused not a few wrinkles on the worry-laden brows of many Kansas students.
At this time, the co-operative meal plan should find a bigger field for service than in either of its previous years of existence. It has now become established as a worthy endeavor by aiding those students who could not otherwise produce balanced meals and wholesome food from their meager budgets; its earlier objectional features have been eliminated; its place in competition with regular eating houses has been satisfactorily minimized.
For some, the renewal of the cooperative meal plan of the cafeteria, state owned, will prove a blessing. For others, batching will prove to be the way out. Some will deprive themselves of the necessary food for health placing the acquisition of knowledge above all else.
Many students are expected to investigate the plan as devised by the cafeteria for this school year. The success of the venture will depend upon its service to the students.
Campus Opinion
On passing through the registration line the other day, I was confronted with a replay to register my ideas on Campus hissing. The chief idea of the appeal was to discover whether or not I approved of the naughty, naughty K-maen paddling the wind-eye innocent freeman for violations of campus traditions, or at least that was the way he couldn't running brain Figure it out
Now, Mr. Editor, I've been a student on this Campus for a good long while, and I've seen a good deal of paddling, but I really haven't seen enough of this having to feel that we should get together and launch a great big camp against it. As a matter of fact I believe that a little gentle paddling is good for the freshman's monkey, because he can look back upon it with a smile. And I don't mind one else. I (guess you've already figured out that I'm not a freshman).
ditor, Daily, Kansas;
Ive had chances for little talks with these exponents of a nobile cause, on the subject of the kindness they are nearly as I am figure out they don't think much of these more or less minor rules, as they are apt to dispell them with a waived surface of the left hand. But they didn't care that I'm not told if I suggest that we preserve these traditions, because I've heard people who ought to know the school spirit were really the foundation of school spirit.
As a matter of fact, its rather noticeable the way our school spirit has evaporated with the loeening of tradition and the decline in friendliness you to feel that I am absolutely against this movement, Mr. Editor, because I still contend that those K - men should place mums in the ends of their clothes being a humanitarian as—WELL.

If you are a humble pedestrian during this week you are probably in favor of the interfraternity council adopting a policy that prohibits the use of cars in rush.
When Johnnie of Rho Rho Rho brings Dad's new and shiny Deltight Eight to the campus for a few days of rushee chauffering he feels that he must imminently pass the deutility and speed of any metropolitan cab driver. Immediately after he has the car in motion he presses his foot on the accelerator and then is seized with a crump in his leg muscles from lifting or relacing his pressure.
The danger to pedestrian and autoist alike is better understood when it is remembered that 60 fraternities are engaged in rushing and each house has a Dads car. If your Dad's car is last year's model you haven't a chance because the low-

VARSITY
To furnish an incentive to the drivers of the house patrols, cars that are not being used are parked on both sides of the street in the fraternity district. In this way there is sufficient space for one and one-half large cars to pass or two smaller ones. When cars of different sizes meet in these "thrill" hats, patrol drivers have an opportunity to measure the width of the opposite car in quarter inches.
This interesting game will probably continue until Johnieke of Rho Rho Rho has to take his car back to the home—where he will drive very carefully.
BIG SHOTS
Campus "Big Shots" are the tumors of the campi of American colleges. They strut. They expand from nice country youths into large containers of lukewarm air. They do not mind their own affairs, but they probably observe of others seems to be their chief occupation. They pat backs and call us lesser mortals "fellas". In their own estimation they are far above the old students, but they have the mountain come to them, even.
Oroiliver (Colorado Mines)
The climb to the realm of the "Big Shots" is strenued with political and financial hazards. They are farmed into old Dotaanna, national honorary for its role in the game. They are a gob of father's hard earned dollars. Then they go to "Lotus Lotta," another honorary with its chief purpose to classify rotten garden trucks. The politicians cagles. The political obstacles that are removed from the path are worse on the individual's self respect. Future "Big Shots" must cast aside all individual masters in the art of throwing the bull and assume an attitude of back slapping no matter how distasteful the pastime. Otherwise they are listed as radicals and play their chance of being the glow-guys of the class of maugh-
What happens to these small cyclones? What are they doing five years after graduation? What has happened to the bright college editor that tried to reform everything in sight, wrote articles on what this country needs.
The majority go back to the farm and act as valet for the pigs and cows. Some stink around the old alma mamma and do a little side line coaching for the kids on tactics on a tough world and land in a comfortable rat and show their scrap book to the kiddies and remind other disinterested persons about their trivial recompilations at Podunk Normal.

AT THE DICKINSON
AT THE DICKINSON
"She Loves Me Not"
Amid the smell of new paint in the beautifully refinished Dickinson, Bing Crowsy sings his way to new trumpets and the sound of a guitar with the dean's daughter (Kity Carroll) just as he is in danger of being removed from college for hiding a "deserving" chorus girl from the police. Mirum Hopkins, in the sprinting team that won a flagging Flug, witnesses a murder in a night club where she is dancing. She flees through the night to Princeton, where she uses refuge with Paul Lawton and his wife, Jacqueline Jones (Edward Nugent). They clip her hair with nail scissors, dress her as a boy, and wire infuriential fathers that they must find a job for her. The fun begins when a movie company deliens an ammunition case and tries to rub her out, Bing's fiancée (Judith Allen) arrives to check up on him, and the dean conducts a personal investigation. This climaxes when the suspect is brought into contact with a public man and a gangster. Only political pressure saves the two boys, Paul and Binz, from being suspended. Bing sings his way back into the good graces of his family.
There is much good comedy and some bad. It is cleaner than might be expected.
Best shot: Buzz Jones doing his banking lesson to the rhythm of a tap dance.
Best line: "There is no such thing as a deserving chorus girl."
Best song: "Love in Bloom."

The plot centers on an eccentric old millionaire, Eara Ounce, played by Hugh Herbert, whose demonic desire presses him to become a passionate greater than his desire to acquire more money. With millions to lavish on his noble cause—millions that form the nucleus for a series of sizzling complications between the monthly unpaid salary and the dancer, Joan Blondell—Ounce begins at home by planning to break up a theatrical production being put on by youthful and vigorous members of the Ounce family tree Jimmy Hinggts and Bill Kennedy Jimmy Huntingwright (Ruby Keeler).

In portrayal of his part, Herbert was probably the weakest of the array of stars that marched across the stage, for while denouncing immorality from the altars of New York, the audience half-expected him to fall in line with his previous parts and come reeling in among his black-froasted friends in a room filled with the same shocked-shots of his illness. For those entranced by love scenes, Keeler and Powell did their best, displaying romance enough to have warranted a moon scene.

The new sound system of the Granada carried the musical numbers in creditable manner. Of the dances numbers, two stand out, "Dances," not for the music but for the excellence in their performance, and into the privacy of a laundry girl's life for its quaintness, touch of life, and unusualness.
