SIMPLIFIED SIMPLICITY
Henry Roe Cloud, superintendent of the Haskett Institute, and supervisor of the Mayetta Indian Reservation, thirty miles north of Topeka, has a plan to integrate the Indians on the reservation into a more compact and satisfied group that sounds like one of Eddie Cantor's fantastic recovery schemes. The difference is that Mr. Roe Cloud's scheme works. Indians, he explains, have a nomadic complex; they like to travel about from place to place. Now a rolling stone gathers no moss and a roving Indian gathers no education, wealth, or happiness in these modern times. To get these Indians to stay in one location is Mr. Roe Cloud's chief problem.
"Cattle," Mr. Roe Cloud expounds, "are the key to the whole situation. You can't move cattle from place to place very easily, and you have to milk them twice a day. This isn't conducive to getting very far afield. So I merely placed a cow in each family and I find that the Indian's nomadic tendency is very effectively curbed."
The simplicity of the solution of this problem, which by the way was a very real one, leads us to conclude that a lot of our "complex" social problems might have equally simple solutions.
Before the concert last night, the harpist was practicing arpegios back stage. A bystander commented: "You'll certainly have a head start in Heaven."
AND ALONG COMES SPRING WEATHER
Just as the students are attempting to settle down to last minute preparations for the much dreaded final week, along comes the weather man with a lot of warm spring days to make the task all the harder.
Almost anyone would rather study when the wind is howling and it is cold and wet outside than when the air is balmy and the out-doors seems to call at every turn. It is easier to get down to work, and much more can be accomplished because that habit of day-dreaming and thinking of the places you would rather be than "on the books" is not constantly appearing on the page of the open book in front of you instead of the printed material. Just how can anyone look at a book and absorb anything when the sun is shining and the air is balmy outside? It's hard to do, and many will have to do it if they get by; but what a job it is!
Good weather is welcomed almost anytime by almost every one, but this is one of those times when students would appreciate it more if the "old man" would delay his visit for a few weeks.
THE PROPER STUDY OF MANKIND IS MAN
Was it Plato who said, "The proper study of mankind is man?" It sounds platitudinous, but like most simple things, there is an element of great truth in it.
Students can well afford to study mankind. There are about 3500 students on the campus. Tucked snugly away in each of their personalities is some fine quality that other student could profit by knowing. And we lose much by not knowing each student personally; people are interesting, once you get to know them.
Between classes some day when you happen to be in a philosophic and not too critical mood, notice all the persons who pass by; seek underneath their outward appearance the things that would be interesting to know. Or go down town and watch the townspeople pass up and down Massachusetts street. Yes, peopie are interesting.
But you'll never know all o the students and you'll never know their really fine selves under our existing social formality. Let's do away with all this artificial formality that keeps us from knowing our fellows. Wouldn't it be rather fun to walk up to a perfect stranger and say, "Let's sit down and have a good talk; it may be profitable for both of us," instead of having to go through the formality of having some mutual acquaintance introduce us?
Formality is the enemy of well-rounded personality.
In order to make more employment, we suggest that instead of giving the Civil Workers Administration laborers shovels, they be given teaspoon and have their feet and one arm tied. There's too much efficiency in this world of ours.
IT'S ALL VERY ELEMENTARY
A diller, a dollar,
A ten o'clock scholar.
It used to buy a suit of clothes. And now it buys a collar.
This poem (well, it rhyms, doesn't it) is just another attempt to explain in simple words what the new dollar will mean to the man in the street.
The man in the street has had the devaluated dollar expounded to him in terms of potatoes, apples and bushels of wheat by wellmeaning journalists. It is all highly reminiscent of those problems that go—"If John had ten apples, and Harry had more than he should, how many would John have left if Mary had twice as many?" And just about as perplexing, too.
If the man in the street (do you suppose it is the same fellow all of the time?) has learned anything from these expositions on the shrinking dollar in terms of apples, potatoes and wheat, it is to be a trifle disgusted with apples, potatoes and wheat, in terms of the dollar.
TRUTH
Don Quixote got his silly block knocked off by the windmill because he had a false impression of what a windmill really was. He didn't know the facts.
Some people lie because they don't know the facts and some because they don't know any better. The theory of an education is that the more of fact one knows, the less need there is for lying, or if one must lie, he can at least tell good ones.
And that's what we're supposed to learn in college. Here we've thrown into contact with facts and theories that are basic and unchangeable. The more we know of fact, the less likely we are to make errors, errors that may be costly.
Etta G. Moten, who was featured as a soloist in the Carica dance in "Flying Down to Rio," will be remembered by many students for her songs in the Tau Sigma recital and the East-West Review a few years ago.
Thus education increases our efficiency and truthfulness.

All students who are enrolled as College Seniors this semester will be enrolled for the spring semester during the period Jan. 17-23, inclusive. Appointments for such enrollment should be made at the College office.
COLLEGE SENIORS:
COLLEGE STUDENTS:
All College students are asked to see their advisers during the period Jan. 17-23 inclusive, to work out their enrollments for the spring semester. The advisers' office hours are posted on the bulletin board at the College office. Transcripts may also be obtained at the office and should be returned there immediately after the conference. Careful and unhurried advice may be obtained during this period as it cannot be on the enrollment floor.
FRESHMAN COMMISSION:
there will be a supper meeting of Freshman Commission Monday evening at 5 o'clock at Henley house. M. L. ANDERSON, Secretary.
PAUL B. LAWSON, Acting Dean.
ing the University Miss Moter was a member of the Collegiate Quartet and sang over WREN Since that time she has been a featured artist of the NBC broadcasting system, and sang in the motion picture "Gold Diggers of 1933."
Instead of her race being a disadvantage to Miss Moten it has been an asset to her.
PLAIN TALES from the HILL

Professor Nelson had asked for a definition of the "easement" from his English literature class.
True story of a student who takes his work seriously.
Our Contemporaries
"They always have little half-pint porches stuck out in front of them," contributed a voice.
After trying for some time to put across his idea, the sociology student finally burst out in desperation:
Student: (Looking meditatively out o window): "Here I sit inhibiting—no, introspect—introspecting—aw, darn psychology anyhow, I'm thinking."
"Oh well, you know what I mean." "Okay, I'll confess the moral idea," confessed Morpheus Smith.
"Well, that helps, anyway," replied the student, resigned.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CONVOCATIONS?
Time: Saturday night. Place: Bricks.
Dr. Charles W. Gilkey, dean of Chicago university chapel, will be heard by Nebraska students at a convocation to be held in the Temple next Tuesday. One of a very few, the convocation is being held under the auspices of the University Religious Welfare Council.
This one, similar to other convo-
cations held earlier in the school year, is not a part of the regular university convocation series. The first such affair sponsored by the university itself will be held in February. The other one, which completes the regular university convocations for the year, will be held late in March according to tentative plans.
Another necessary item eliminated from the campus extra-curricular life, the regular convocation has been reduced almost to the point of total extinction for lack of money. Previous to the dramatic curtailment of funds by the legislature, all-university convocations, usually numbering about six a year, were held at regular intervals on the
campus. Occasionally they brought to the university faculty and students outstanding personalities of national and international fame.
For the most part, however, the typical convocation was characterized by mediocrity. Subjects discussed at these regular convocations were often none too illuminating and interesting, but even so, the situation was not as bad as it is this year.
A series of lectures or convocation programs can be of value, and scores of important educational institutions over the country recognize this portion of the student's extra-curricular life as a vital and necessary feature. Examination of the free lecture schedules at other schools is easy to make the Nebraska student green with envy. The caliber of speakers engaged at neighboring midwestern schools is consistently good, while at Nebraska—except for the ever-present religionists—there have been none at all.
There is a crying need for an adequate convoction program at Nebraska. All too little opportunity is given students to catch a glimpse of the world as it can be visualized by informed convoctions speakers. Steps should be taken to restore this important item to the students.
