KIDDIE CARS AND SCOOTERS
Lack of co-operation with the efforts of the Chamber of Commerce by students, faculty members, and University trucks is too evident. The safety pledge is an attempt to make drivers and pedestrians realize that the task of preserving human life is a serious one and is not to be taken in the conventional matter-of-fact way.
Of course, children have never been known to conform to rules with any consistency. If the students and faculty members insist on reverting to their childhood days, why not give them kiddie cars and scooters and preserve lives, if not limbs and property?
After the dodging practice received by most students at the Drag and Mixer, there should be no excuse for run-down pedestrians this year.
DON'T TAKE IT TOO HARD
Most students come to the University with their eyes too firmly fixed on getting a degree. Their plans do not include regular play both which are a necessary adjournment to the regular course of study.
If the student is not to suffer from brain fatigue, or possibly a nervous breakdown, he should remember that healthful relaxation and recreation is periodically required. The kind of play is immaterial so long as the undergraduate finds pleasure in it.
Roller skating and ping pong find many advocates on Mt. Oread. The first not only develops the wind and stretches the legs (there is a limit to this of course) but it also allows the skater to see a good bit of the country. Regular skat will give the student an excellent training of Lawrence scenes of beauty and where to look out for the bumps.
Ping pong—on the other hand—develops the thumb, which is not a bad idea since hitch hiking has become such a popular method of transportation. More subtle in its method of fascinating the player, ping pong can grow into something of a vice if given a free hand.
Probably, the most popular indoor sport at the University is post office. This game is not to be confused with the government institution which sends and dispenses mail. It is much more important than that. Post office has no set rules and the player can only learn by constant playing.
WE GO TO CLASS
First class meetings, even though we may dread them always hold a minor thrill for us. It is just the inescapable human trait of curiosity that makes this fascination possible, for if we did not have numberless speculations about our classes, the first meeting would be the same as the hundreds that follow.
We wonder what the professor will be like (that is, if we have not carefully checked up on him beforehand). Who are the other students in the class, we idly muse. Shall we know any of them, and, if so, shall we want to sit with them? And often we are anxious to satisfy the irrepressible desire to know whether we must take copious notes or whether it will be a restful, restless class.
Vague wonderings such as these make the first meeting or two of very class rather attractive. It's ot always more fun to know. If we were we should not even get a kick out of first class meetings.
ORIENTATION
A new effort to reduce the number of freshman fatalities is being inaugurated at Indiana University this year. The plan provides for division of the freshman class into groups of 30, each group having a faculty adviser and two student counselors. The program will consume two days and precedes a three-day period devoted to rushing.
During the four meetings which will be held by each group, study methods, time budgeting, college honors, and campus organizations will be thoroughly discussed and explained.
that there is a need for such programs of orientation at every university is obvious to anyone who remembers his own freshman problems. Much of the timidity and dismay accompanying entrance to a large university could be ameliorated through personal interest on the part of the faculty and the older students. And the sooner in his college career a freshman begins to understand the complex microcosm of society which is his university, the earlier he will become a vital part of its life and activities.

WORKING STUDENTS
There are three kinds of working students—working students, working students and just plain ordinary working students. The second kind draws pay for its labor in the form of money. The second kind works just as hard and gets paid, not in money, in a value not easily measured. The third kind does not important. I won't talk about him.
The first and second kind are working toward the same end; an education. The second kind really gets one; the first gets a smattering. To one of me the first is the working student, to me every day is the working student, to me this spends so much time making a living that he can't get the education he works for. His diploma, when he is graduated, is like all the rest of them. As some wag says a nickel will give a cup of coffee, but means something to him. It is the result of countless hours of physical toll.
The diploma is the pay check of the second kind of working student, the student who has sufficient money to attend college and sufficient to realize that he gets out of college just what he puts into his work at studies. His labes in cuisine are sympaly There's nothing spectacular He's an unsuing type of "working student." But his diploma, which like the others requires a nickel if he would drink coffee, has an insustant value to him—Oklahoma Daily.
SOCIAL ILLUSIONS
Vanity Fair's catalog of what the well-dressed mind is thinking this year includes the following: "College degrees have no value now that their one claim to practicality—social prestige—has disappeared."
The New York magazine published for the smart set, however, does not fit Oklahoma. In our own dear state the badge of the elite has never been so much the college degree as the fraternity pin.
As George Milburn, the state's chief contributor to American literature, has pointed out, students who come to the university and pledge a fraternity or can go back home, thrust the nasal pressure, haveward, and have more social prestige, whatever that is, than the person who has earned one or several degrees.
The attitude that a college degree or a fraternity pin is desirable it carries with it social prestige is, of course, inherently superficial.
The individual who has his mind preoccupied with a diploma or fraternity badge merely because he believes that he will succeed in the job of people will in the end find disappointment. After a few years out of the University, he will discover that nobody else if he once attended a college or Greek letter group. Oklahoma Daily.

DRAW UP YOUR PLANS NOW!
Registration is over and the excitement of the first few days has worn off for you freshmen. Those of you who have, probably already tilted back some time to learn "conversation" with yourself, and formulated some sort of a rough plan for your college life. Of course studies will be the central theme of your plan, if you are sensible, but most of us find that we can get our lessons and still have some time to education or the indulgence of a hobby.
Some of you, because of your physics makeup, have already decided to devote most of your time to athletics. Others have made up their minds to spend their spare hours parked on the grass or in soda. Still other will go into drumming.
some other activity. Some will be unwise and take more than they can handle and will soon acquire a reputation for doing everything in a slappied manner, not due perhapso to a lack of energy or to a lack of forethought. Whatever you into everyone will respect you if you have them; you may have to confine yourself to only one extracurricular activity in order to do it well, but that will be much better than to be known as simply "another member" of half a dozen organizations. In other words if you are going to be around for half a day, If you are going to be a "social bound" make sure that you are the life of the party—Rocky Mountain College.

equality existed, and further examination of the law confronts me in the heathen world. I will be right when it passed the law cancelling the taxes that had accrued while the law was being passed.
At the time of the court decision, X.J. Kennedy, a member of the board of county commissioners, said, "We have the fraternities where they should be on the tax rolls. I see no reason why we not wipe the slate clean and start even."
Since that date, the Douglas County Taxpayers license has once or twice updicated for action toward collecting the delinquent taxes, but to date no person has been brought to account with the cost of testing the noncompliance of the tax cancellation measure.
Rumors have prevailed for several weeks that S. S. Learned, treasurer-select, intended to try to collect these disses as soon as he assemilizes杏es as soon as he assumes office Oc
"I have made absolutely no statement to anyone that I intended to collect these taxes," he said emphatically this morning. "Until I am sworn in as an officer, I cannot say what I will do—I am not yet an official of Douglas county."
