WEDNESDAY,APRIL 11,1934 CARRYING ON With the defeat of the Fusion ticket in the recent Kansas City election, some of the enthusiasm for reform among members of the new party has died down. After such a display of strength and corruption by the Pendegast "machine," many deem the chance for any change hopeless. The NYM realized too late the value of organization in winning an election. If they are going to continue the forward step they have taken, they must begin today to build up an organization which will make itself felt in every precinct, not in the wealthier residential districts only. Now is the time to expand what they have begun so nobly. The NYM will have to realize also that effective political action cannot be accomplished in less than a month before election time. It requires steady hammering day after day and month after month until finally the voters awaken to the necessity for change. ARE THERE TOO MANY? Individuals have been expressing the opinion that there are too many honorary and professional organizations on the campus in which membership is an honor without being otherwise beneficial. There is an overlapping of organizations in many of the departments of the University it is contended. Membership in several of these leads to excessive expenses as well as a loss of time in attending meetings and in organization work, if the student has no direct interest in the organization. Organizations are to many individuals worth the money spent for them; but when a student joins an organization only to become a social lion, then his money and time could be spent elsewhere to greater advantage. Keys and pins will mean little to him after his short span of University life unless he has a personal interest in the things for which they stand. If there are too many organizations, the reform should come through them rather than from other sources. Many of the professional fraternities are accepting membership only from students who intend to make their life work that for which the fraternity stands. In this way they are eliminating the tendency of fraternity members to pledge people because of their popularity rather than because of merit or interest in professional fields. IS CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE TO BE IGNORED? New books come into the library, and their attractive jackets are displayed on the library bulletin board, where they are observed daily by students, some of whom look at them longingly but few of whom ever find opportunity to handle them. Hours are spent each day over volumes of history, economics, sciences, and classical literature, in endeavor to absorb as much as possible of the vast accumulated knowledge of centuries. A certain amount of such learning provides a background essential to the understanding of existing institutions, but under present conditions in the University so much time must be devoted to the acquiring of this knowledge that books on the momentous events of contemporary history, the wonders of modern science, and novels involving the problems of today's generation, must be forbidden fruit to many. It is not right that recent works should be so neglected. It is true that the values of these books have not been established as have those of the classics, but is it necessary to wait until a book is old and the author dead before it can be read for what it is worth? A person who does not read newspapers when they are available is considered ignorant; a college graduate who knows nothing of contemporary literature should be in the same class. If it is true that because of his studies and Hill activities the student has not the leisure time in which to read the best recent books, why could not provisions be made in the curricula providing credit for a specified study of modern works? ABOUT WOMEN The women must take the blame this time. At last a college man has had the courage to voice his convictions regarding feminine etiquette and appearance, and what a panning his co-ed readers take! This daring young man presumes, in a column of the University of Washington paper, to point out in no gentle manner some things he doesn't like. Here are a few of his pet aversions: Women, who look like a parenthesis mark when they dance; who sing in the ear of their date; who wipe off excess lipstick on the collars of unsuspecting males; who talk about all their other dates; who pluck their eyebrows unevenly; who wear mascara which runs; who appear in sweaters which are too short; who affect violently colored fingernails and freshly set hair with a varnished look; who pull up their hosse in public or chew gum at dances. The columnist adds, bravely, that women who feel themselves high-hatted by men acquaintances are entirely in the wrong, for it is their absolute duty to speak first and thus acknowledge the recognition. Except for a few minor faults such as the above-mentioned, and a thousand or so others too numerous to mention, the critic is willing to admit sweetly that "women are a necessary evil" and drops the subject. And if there is any credibility in the old saying that "you can't tell a woman a thing," he might just as well forget the subject when he drops it. --and a new pie Chocolate Marshmallow THURSDAY NOON Swiss Steak Ham and Lima Beans Chicken and Dumplings --at the CAFETERIA OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXXI Wednesday, April 11, 1934 No. 126 DELTA Phi Delta meeting this Thursday has been postponed.

WOOD DEMOLAYS: Twenty Years Ago Sophomore retaliation cost them exactly $25,000, according to Mrs. Willis, owner of the rooming house which the second year men raided to secure revenge on freshmen who deported several of their number in earlier date to the sophomores, knock the freshman boarding house by surprise, and blocking every exit, laid siege to the first year men. The vigorous opposition that was met resulted in broken windows, doors, torn rues, and a ruined yard. The sophomores admitted the rightfulness of Mrs. Willis's demands and the class announced their willingness to pay the damage. One sophomore voiced the idea of all when he said, "It will bankrupt the class to pay that, but it was worth it." The freshmen caught in the raid were severely punished for their earlier misdeanors. The only regular monthly magazine in the State of Kansas devoted entirely to literature, or attempts at literature, was the "Oread," printed and published by students and instructors of the University of Wichita died a few years ago there has been no publication of this type in Kansas except the "Oread." The magazine was about the size of the Collier's Weekly, and contained stories by 20 students each month. The magazine had formerly been called "the Quill," and was being edited by Miss Helen Rhoda Hoopes. "Plans were into effect for a novel edition for the Daily Kansan, wherein in "yellow" journalism will be the only type employed. The paper's chief policy will be to produce an example of "yellow" journalism which will outshine and out-screen all other existent types of this kind of newspaper work. It will handle the news of the day as it would be handled by the most rabid editor of some non-conservative sheet." The indiscretions of the faculty, various clubs, and student council were to be reenclosed in this issue. The paper will probably be followed by an antidote exemplifying the Boston Transcript and the London Times, according to John Madden, editor-in-chief of the Kansan. An exhibition baseball game between the Chinese University of Hawaii team and the University of Kansas resulted in the Jayhawk's defeat to the score of 9 to 2. The Chinese played errorless ball and hit consistently. They ran wild on the bases, and the K.U. men were unable to stop them. The Jayhawkers were held to six safeties by the Chimamen, and the Hawaiian's had no errors checked against them in the entire game. Ayan, of the Chinese team, featured the game with hard hitting and excellent work on the third base. Sommers and Van der Vries made the only Kansas scores.
