WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1934 WHAT'S GOING ON IN EUROPE? Students of political science are watching with great interest the outcome of events of a terrifying period of world history. Going back in European political history, we see first the Soviet government established in Russia. Italy next took up the dictatorial form of government under Mussolini with the complete seizure of democratic rights of the people. This form of government still holds in Italy. Hitler and the Nazi regime then assumed complete control of the German government. The French people apparently protesting against the economic condition of France, and also manifesting their distrust in the Chamber of Deputies, are making a serious attempt to hold their present democratic form of government. Austria appears to be protesting against subjugation by the Nazi regime of Germany, and the overthrow of the Austrian government may mean ultimate control by Germany. This, the Allied powers are making every effort to prevent. What will be the outcome? Five years ago, the present world situation was undreamed of. What will be the status of the world powers at the end of another five years? Engineers say the modern auto-mobiles will go nearly twice as fast with the new streamline effects. Some wonder if Roosevelt had streamlining in mind when he remodeled the dollar. PRE-ENROLLMENT FOR UNDER CLASSMEN So great was the success of the pre-enrollment plan in connection with the senior class of the University this semester that its continuance and extension to include other classes of the University, especially the junior class, has been urged by both students and faculty members. The plan called simply for consultation with advisers and enrollment by appointment, at the close of the semester instead of at the beginning of the next. Multiple benefits have been said to spring from such a method. Pre-enrollment, first, allows the student to enroll in a leisurely way when he has plenty of time to consider courses, instead of the hurried page-thumbing activity which has, in previous enrollments, marked the manner of his selection. Again, the adviser is less hurried, and therefore is better able to counsel wisely those students who seek his advice. A careful personal consideration by both adviser and the student is apt to make for a more desirable relation between the students and the faculty later in the year. If the student changes his mind for any reason after his early enrollment, he still has the opportunity to re-enroll at the regular time set for such procedure, at the beginning of the new semester. But here again he is freer to study his catalogue and select the most suitable subjects. Elimination of the crowded condition which has marked past enrollments would be another distinct advantage of pre-enrollment. Last week, only a few seniors were upon the floor during the two days of feverish haste and bustle unavoidable to members of other classes. They found it easy to consult with instructors and advisers and to make any changes that were necessary. It might not be feasible to expand the plan to include all classes of the University, particularly underclassmen who have fewer subjects from which to choose their courses, but it does seem probable that benefits might be derived from its continuance in connection with the senior class and its inclusion of the junior class. The argument sometimes advanced that pre-enrollment takes place during the week of finals or before, and that it consequently takes valuable time from instructors who might be preparing questions and semester grades and from students who might be studying for the last quizzes, may have some foundation of truth. It is believed, however, that the benefits which would be derived from such a plan would more than outweigh the disadvantages. THROUGH THE YEARS This is Valentine Day, a day which changes in the manner of celebration, according to the age of the celebrant. As one looks back he can remember when he gave a big Valentine to his teacher and a few small ones to his intimate playfellows. He recalls the day a few years later, when he became interested in the girl across the aisle with the big red hair ribbon, and used Feb. 14 as an excuse to send her a large red paper heart containing a musky love note. About this time he sent less interesting hearts to everyone else in his room and bragged about the large number of valentines he collected. Next came the early high school stage, when the youth spent fifty cents for the Valentine he could finding bearing the greatest display of paper lace. He was beginning to get ideas about love at this age, and liked to demonstrate his affection with an ostentatious gift. When still in high school he changed from paper hearts to large red hearts containing chocolates. Now comes college life, where he forges that Valentine Day is here until it is too late to order flowers, so, not willing to admit his forgetfulness, he surrenders his fraternity pin. Spring has at last descended on Mt. Oread in all of its sweet, romantic glory to crown and enshroud the tidbits of travesty that have fallen on this—St. Valentine's Day. Candy and flowers come and go — pins change hands — even spring may settle back to winter's blusty weather — but the soft, slender new moon says that all is well when it comes to traditions of youth and the old patron saint. The steady, regular flow of automobiles between classes is remindful of 42nd and Broadway. Bumper to bumper, the parade rolls over the hill, carrying hundreds of students the few short steps to their classes. Rather more a motor show than a campus drive, the Hill loses its leisurely, scholarly atmosphere. Tooting horns, screeching brakes and sputtering exhaust pipes carry on today's conception of collegiate youth. WALK, DON'T RIDE Many students who come long distances to school are justified in driving their cars, but those who live only a block or two from the campus have little excuse for contributing to the congestion. If the student driver steps on the starter in order to go a couple of blocks, he is either lazy or snobbish. The city-like maze of traffic on the campus could be almost eliminated if undergraduates who could easily afford to do so left their cars at home, and transported themselves under their own power, or paraded their vehicles downtown.

Twenty Years Ago Feb. 10-14,1914 By George Lerrigo A feature of the Kansan in the February 11 issue was titled the "K.U. Dictionary." It introduced a letter and the different meanings connected with it. For example, the letter 'L.' offers "Love (indefinite)—a snappy course usually Dr. Naismith deplored the roughness of the degenerate basketball that was being played in 1914. "The game being played this year," he said, "it not up to the standard which he saw in the gym two years ago. Basketball has degenerated into more清洗 matches quite frequently, instead of clean ball games. The roughness which has been attributed to the laxity of the rules is due entirely to the players and the negligence of the officials." "Laughter (implies strategy)—is especially used just before quizzes when a professor cracks a crude joke; the cruder the joke the louder the laughter." "Luck (a vague term)—usually it is the other fellow's luck after a lost game. Sometimes a student is lucky to get through a hard course with little or no study. This is superlative luck." A committee investigating student opinion on the idea of an honor system found that a majority of the students greatly favor the idea. However, the students do not want another system with a regular 'honour court' and other necessary organization, but want more of an honor sentiment, wherein all the students would be working together for its welfare. The punishment for violating the honor system together for its welfare. The punishment for violations of this sentiment would be plastic and could be fixed by the student governing body. "The committee found that there was very little cheating on the campus, but decided that what little was prevalent could well be discussed."
