He presented a paper on the "Genesis of Race Attitudes" at the convention and Mapheus Smith, assistant professor of sociology, was chairman of the sociological division. No other members from the sociology department here were present at the meeting.

Hodge Podge By Howard Turtle, c 34
--matter how much he tries to flog his poor mind into responding.
"Hodge Podge" is a good name for it. This column is not going to be entirely gossip. It is not going to be entirely comment on affairs on the Hill. And neither is it going to be composed solely of current news items glanced from the campus. Rather, it is going to be a mirror of student affairs as seen from a little different angle than in the ordinary run of news stories which appear in the Kansan. Therefore, since this column is going to be composed of a regular "hodge podge" of material, we may as well call it by that name.
The writer is not unaware of his deficiencies in the matter of turning out a tolerable piece of copy every day. In fact, he is somewhat terrified by the thought of it. His worst weakness is probably the fact that on certain days he strikes streaks of mental sterility in which his brain will not co-operate with his fingers in putting down on the typewriter a respectable paragraph, no
On each unlucky day he can visualize all too plainly a horse of distracted liniotype operators pounding on the copy chute and screaming for the manuscript which he shall so vainly be trying to produce. Also, in his mind's eye, he can see Mr. Dill up in the news room jumping up and down in his chair, running his hands through his thick bushy hair and yelling, "Hey! Where in heck's that copy?" And the plainest of all he can see himself squirming at the typewriter, racking his brain for a glimmer of an idea, but despite his honest efforts not even getting to first base.
Taking all this into consideration, he cannot decide what makes him so bold today as to start on this venture. Maybe it's because the world seems unusually rosy just after Easter vacation. But whatever the underlying psychological basis for this sudden spurt of self-expression, he is glad now that he has commenced. People will get sore—no doubt—and he will have to lie awake at nights trying to think up something which will fill up the space, but at least there's not much harm in giving the thing a try.

Why your neighbors are saying...
"Put back my Telephone"
Every day former users of telephone service ask us to re-connect their telephones. Here are some of the reasons they give:
"My husband is working again . . . we missed the telephone more than anything else."
---
"Frankly, we were beginning to be back-numbers.' Ourfriends couldn't call us, nor we them."
---
"I didn't like to think of my wife and youngsters at home without a telephone. I kept worrying about fires, hoboes, accidents . . . they had no protection."
Do you miss your telephone? Call the business office,now.Say,"I want a telephone."
