SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1934 HOWDY Trains are disgorging them; buses are unloading 'em; autos are rolling them in. What are they? They're the new flock of students coming in thick and fast, and this old Hill is so glad to see them that it's practically weeping for joy. Fraternity houses and rooming houses are resounding with "How ya pal, and say you dirty so and why so didn't you answer my letter—" as old friends meet and hold joyful reunion. However let's not forget that all through this hustle and bustle of auld acquaintance there wander the wide-eyed freshman, who is either very lonely or being bewilderedly rushed off his feet by this and that organization, and so it's to this fellow particularly, as well as to the old familiars, that we say, "Welcome, and make yourself at home." Pity the poor parent who thinks that his son's vacation has ended when he is sent off to college in the fall! THE SCHOOL AND THE FRATERNITY Stories are told of freshman women who come to the University and leave in tears immediately after rush week because they didn't "make" the sorority on which they had their hearts set. Other students, men and women both, may feel that their college careers are empty because they are encumbered with the social disadvantage of restricted finances, which denies to them membership in Greek letter organizations. The greatness of the non-fraternity or sorority student's disadvantage has never been determined exactly, but this much is certain, that in comparison with other things that the University offers, a pin is not of such importance that a student should consider himself a campus failure if he doesn't get one. So, rushee, if you place your hopes on the wrong house, or if Old Man Depression says "No," consider it as a matter of relatively little consequence. The opportunity of getting a college education is so great a one that no freshman should permit his enthusiasm or ambition to be dulled by such petty disappointments. SORE MUSCLES It may have been a vacation for some fortunate students, but for the buildings and grounds department the period of the past three months was one of work, manual labor under as merciless a sun as Kansas has seen in many a season, and through days of 100-degree temperatures maintained for periods of a week or two at a time. But June, July and August were months of accomplishment, too. What was an ugly hole in front of Watson Library when the Jayhawkers pulled out in June, has been transformed into a level plot which promises, with the help of God, to become a green lawn that will earn for the library the deserved rank of a campus beauty spot. The country road that ran by Watkins hall has become a highway, the Commons building has been enlarged, Dyche museum is steadily working out from under its condemnation, and many smaller improvements that may escape the notice of excited pledge-hunting students, such as painting, plastering and scrubbing have been made, to decrease the number of discomforts involved in getting an education. Those thoughtless collegians who are inclined to accept these things as matters of course would perhaps accord the University a thought or two of appreciation if they could picture in their minds the arduous labor involved. While summer school students sweltered in "unberable" classrooms, men and horses toiled in the sun with plows, scoops, picks, shovels, wheelbarrows and cement mixers. For a time the old of snow hall was a forest of wooden stakes that looked like a surveyor's night-mare. But the clean, new walks went down, the stakes disappeared, and returning students see only the resulting transformation. Bare backs were burned brown in the process. Athletic muscles worked off their soreness and hardened. And, incidentally, Kansas' football squad is so much the stronger. With President Williams and Dean Priddy of M. U. resigning the K. U. grads of the last four years will wonder when Professor Tar will step out. Laying all jokes to one side or another there is a priddy state of affairs at Columbia. CSEP SCORES AGAIN The CSEP once more demonstrates its ability to be of real assistance to imprecipuous students by providing 420 jobs, 70 more than in the previous year, and at a time when it seems to the inexperienced eye that everything has been done that can be accomplished in the way of campus improvements and extra work. Though the value of the CSEP was questioned at the time of its organization by the usual group of "doubting Thomases" it has stood in a fashion which may well be described as admirable. It has given many a new lease on the education that they saw slipping through their fingers with its offer of a job, when it seemed to the financially suffering student that there was none. It is true that many were disappointed for there were fourteen hundred applications made during the summer, but even for these disappointed ones there still remains a chance for definite assurance that all of those who were accepted by the CSEP will not find it possible to take their positions, as conditions may have changed since they make their applications. No matter, however, who received these jobs hundreds of students who are getting another chance at a college education are taking their hats off to the CSEP and to Chancellor E. H. Lindley its chief originator. Every year at registration there are a great number of persons who delight in being inconsistent in their signatures on their cards, and a still greater number who thoughtlessly do so. STICK TO YOUR NAME The helpers in the registrar's office will have difficulty in knowing who you really are if you persist in signing each card with a different name, so be John Ralph Jones, or whoever you are, on every card on the long list that is handed you when you start to register, and don't forget to sign the same name on your enrollment card. Difficulties are apt to arise when on one card the name James Ralph Jones appears, the next one shows a lesser cognomen, and finally at the end the writer is so worn out from writing his name that his initials only appear. Be kind to those that are in huge of registration as there are nough worries for the registrar and his helpers without the great OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXXII Saturday, Sept. 15, 1924 No.2 Notice due to Christie's Office at 11, am on regular afternoon publications days.

Throught the length and breadth of the land thousands of students have studied the academic halls of this nation seeking the heritage that learned men of the ages have compiled thru diligent, unifying effort. YOUR CLASSIFICATION AWAITS Mahama Daily Progressive minds, the abated at intervals by reactionary legislators, have given unapartingly the horn of plenty in order that the youth of this state may not be thwarted in its pursuance of knowledge. Thru taxation the people of the state of Oklahoma have filled the cup of learning to its towering capacity, from it you may upbringable facts and philosophy; from it you may draw the contents which will prove a life-long stimulator with which to contour and contain twenty century problems. WELCOME JAYHAWKS But not all of you will drink. Worn, telltale records prove that. Some of you will pass the cup day by day, never raising it to your lips. Some of you will be drowned, instead, in the social whirl; some of you play the role of hero on the athletic field; some will simply idle thru.

It leads to interest the younger bloods. The picture is unusually faithful in its adaptation of the story by Robert Louis Stevenson, which has been read by young and old, and displays very few anachronisms. Wallace Berry and Jackie Cooper do well in their portrayal of two famous characters Long John Silver, and Jim Hawkins --even putting the outmoded speech over to some extent, though Cooper at times seems to be more obviously than needless reciting lines in several places for her book. Ms. Lionsen more as captain Flint killed early the picture than she recited, which is slightly blood-letting, a soul' which is slightly over-worked.
