A WORD TO THE PLEDGES
Rush week is over and a new crop of fraternity pledges sprouts up around the campus. Tomorrow the sororites will have their baskets, and then the Greeks will be well prepared for the coming year.
High of heart and with the heads in the clouds, these new members of the organized house group sally firing up their achievement in being "made a fraternity. But they forget, little of the glory is their own most of the credit should go to the ones who have established such a reputation in the community that their sons and daughters were considered desirable material for the lodges. Few of the late rushes who were pledged any outstanding achievement on whom they were chosen. A good man of them have fine high school records, it is true, but so have usually as many freshmen who were not pledged. The family counts.
You newly madee, it is a first thing to be in an organized house. We congratulate you on being among the onesen. A fraternity can help you a great deal, but do not forget that achievement gained by your individual efforts is much more gratifying (and more certain) than that handed you, as it were, on a silver suit. You do not distribute success, and the individu du stue will learn to rely on, if whil he is still in scho-
LEARN REAL LAZINESS
Lastly, the ledges will be wise if they remember that although their heads are above the clouds, their feet are still on the ground. After all, fraternity life is but one phase of a university education
Christopher Morley once said that hardness is an art, and that the lazy man gets the most out of life because he isn't so fired up to work and still the while that he has no time to spend enjoy his own thoughts.
Morley was right. Real laziness is an art, but it is a difficult one to acquire.
As a college student you take everything on high. There isn't time to be lazy, or so you think. Most of the day is spent in the regular college routine of classes, house duties, University internships, and study. You'll spare time perhaps to drink coke, have a cigarette with the fellow, or go to show. You forget these hours when your mind is positively loaded.
This isn't advice on how to become culture. It is a hint to learn to think for yourself. Why don't you take time off this year for some real business, such as Morley recommends? Instead of spending extra hours away, enjoy school; go online; thoughts and don't take everyone else's idea of what college is all about.
FRESHMAN WEEK
A busy band of activities which started Saturday morning and climaxes in the Chancellor's reception next Saturday evening has been assumed for the new week. The work of the neuroytes may consider this activity or that a waste of time, but the program has beer
carefully drawn up with the purpose of getting the unacquainted established on the Hill. Therefore it will be of benefit to each entering student to participate in these events.
Rush week has occupied the attention of the prospective members of Greek houses for the last three days, but new that their social status is settled, temporarily at least, they will do well to become familiar with the campus and the University. They will rush more quickly feel at home in the scholastic part of their University life if they but follow the activity schedule.
The freshman convocations will acquaint them with the active directors of the school who will give them much valuable information. The psychological tests are used mostly for reference, but when information about the student's ability is needed they prove a valuable help. The traditions meeting this evening will be the uninitiated a glimpse into the history lore of the school. So is with the other activities of the week—each has a particular aim and can give the new student a background upon which to build a substantial and well-balanced university career.
The program for freshmen today is: registration all day; 9:30—meetings by schools; 2 p.m.—psychological examination for those who were unable to take it Saturday; 3 to 5–informal tea for women at Houley house; 7:30—all-freshman convoction; and $ 9. m.—traditions meeting.
A freshman's time cannot be better spent than in attending
AKE AN INVENTORY
Not that we want to be a killjoy, but this seems to be an appropriate time to remind students that the University is a pretty swell place for other things other than parties.
The University is noted over the entire world as a liberal school. Here you are offered an opportunity to study without being hampered by preconceived ideas. You have the opportunity to make careful and clear analysis of your life and the lives around you.
It is hoped that you will make the most of it. If you leave the University of Kansas without changing your ideas on the way you should live you have had a four-year vacation from which you will go back to your home town to be the same unintelligent and useless person that you were before.
Don't be angry. You think you are worth a great deal. Your mom wouldn't take a million dollars for you. That high valuation is placed on your potentialities, not on your present state. Talk back to your professors, get kicked out of a couple of classes, pardon the trite phrase, but this is a laboratory of life. Try your wings. It's a grand sensation.
Repeal is inevitable! Well, no, not inevitable. But the probability of stopping it is at one with the chance of restraining a turmoil.
Campus Opinion
And after repeal—what? Obviously something must be done to regulate the liquor traffic. The era of the saloon, even rabid wets admit, mark one of the most despicable situations that ever happened in alcoholic history, not so much because of illegal cellulosis growing out of the traffic. Liquor possession was bridled then, but most ineffectively. From out of this inability to regulate the individual consumption liquor grew the debilitating effect of it in the hands of the incompetent to check the return to the saloon and the corruption of politics. What is to be the effective means of controlling liquor? Open saloons? Government distribution through special lanes through drug stores, as it is now done, unlawfully? The Missouri Community plan? Any of these schemes might work. How it is done is not so important so long as it is effective regulation. It does not be a success if it tries to prohibit it. And edge that the way to remain a leader is to get the consent of his followers and

Our Contemporaries
Accordingly, let's enact our regulatory measure in the following tone:
"The much as it is a recognizable fact that it is people of these United States consider that Dark-Brown Taste." Nervous and Beneign Effects of Alcoholic Drink to be in keeping with and essential to public health, public morals and public safety, it hereby becomes that every Citizen between the ages six and sixty shall consume not less than nine ounces of pure alcohol twice daily.
*Failure to comply with this statute invokes the penalty of Supervised DWI. The state may comply with these regulations for six months under the supervision of the state's police.*
CO-EDUCATIONAL FARLE
the theory underlying this legislation is sound. People are continuous, tell them what not to do and they are bound to do it. The Eighteenth Amendment prevents them not to drink and they did. In the Twelfth Amendment, they did them to drink and see what happens.
This is the fable of the Silly Skoit and the Grim Grubber.
J. M. L.
The Silly Skirt was referred to by her tiresome old father as "a co-ed on the Campus of Life". (We trust someone who knows her best, just such a phrase). But about the Silly Skirt Her sole aim in life was to go places in minky clothes and be seen among those places by people. Whether she met with anyone not mattered little. Her entire life so
ar had been spent in creating effects.
Her ambitions were thwarted somewhat by her geographical placement, since she and her father lived on a peak very similar, it is said, to a certain one in Darien. At any rate, her neighbors were confined to her dull neighbors who lived on either side of the peak.
The Grim Grabber was of an entirely different type. Clothes, social position, and effects were as so much trach to her. She was interested in philosophy and spared her days getting at the bat. Its operational meaning of concepts. It must have been lived with her father on another peak just 0.973 kilometers distant from the one on which resided the Silly Skoot. A great eminity existed between the two girls. Each thought the other a complete-what is it we Americans think of as a girl. Skoot had asked the Grim Grabber over to a party, at which she had thoroughly demoralized the Grubber's spirit by appearing in a bright red gown. And, although the Grim Grabber could run rings around her rivelous companion intellectually, she yet could enjoy the evening, gain an advantage over her.
Naturally, the Grubber had not forgotten the incident, so one day in June she shouted across to the Silly Sock peek that afternoon. The Skot accepted with much bellowing due to the difficulty of talking across 0.973 kilometers, and proceeded to adorn herself in a Skot outfit and envy in the heart of the Grubber.
When she had dressed, she started toward the other peak on horseback and then climbed into the Grubber Hill, she could hear music and loud laugh in the house at the top. Looking at herself in the mirror, she saw a woman with her hands out of her greatest effects, an entrance

THE COLLEGE STUDENT AND THE BLUE EAGLE
Finally she arrived, Adjusting her clothing and taking one last dab at her face, she fling wide the doors and "flowed into the ballroom. It took her another thrilling embarrassment. Every droop and certain in the room, every table cover and wall hanging was of the same color as the walls of the room, smiling as the Silly Skoit ran sobbing from the room. Moral: The old saw that the female of the species is more deadly than the male. For a brededom. Of co-eds it might be said that many a man will keep to his study until a compromise between the Grubber and the Skoit is effected. Let us assume a biological Burbank—Daley College.
President Roosevelt's National Recovery administration has practically accomplished the herecanal task of drawing up the multitudinous codes for recovery, and for Recovery act. We hear of industrial orders, mercantile codes, blanket codes, and a host of others containing rules and regulations which must be rigidly adhered to by employers and companies in order to seem to be no exciting the Blue Eagle.
But how, if at all, will the N.R.A. affect the college student?
A pessimistic answer to that question comes from many "doubling Thomasee" who think that the majority of this year's college students, even though they must work their way through school, must come to come, and that N.R.A. employees will be inclined to hire experienced help at the minimum wage rather than to break in novices at the same rate of pay. This is said to be particularly relevant because there the bulk of student help is used.
Many students have been employed during the summer and will continue to work outside of school this year, chiefly because of the marked increase in tuition fees or an effect. There is every reason to believe that many more students who have been looking for work and who are in need of it will find employment in the future -Les Angeles Junior
