WHAT TO DO NOW!
The Men's Student Council and the W. S. G. A. are placed in a difficult situation as a result of the small majority by which the bill for general activity ticket was passed by the students last Thursday.
The vote was termed an "indication ballot," the purpose being to reveal student opinion on the activity question. The results were to be considered when the councils made their final decisions at the final reading of the bill. Now that the vote has been taken, however, it is still doubtful if the measure should be passed or rejected. Only one hundred and six more students were in favor of the bill then were opposed to it.
Supporters of the activity ticket point to the fact that undoubtedly the general activity ticket would be a fine thing for the University. It would increase school spirit, aid cultural development, and keep going several worthy activities which are now failing on account of low finances. On the other hand, the vote indicates that nearly as many students are opposed to the plan as are in favor of it. If it were put into effect the dissatisfaction might be great enough to cancel any benefits which the ticket would bring
With both sides of the argument having strong points in their favor, it is not unsafe to forecast a stormy session in each of the student governing bodies before the bill is passed or rejected. The student vote did not clear up the situation materially, as the majority by which the measure passed was hardly sufficient to warrant its adoption on grounds of student choice.
Another vote at enrollment time when the opinion of every student—instead of only half—could be obtained, might be worth the trouble, especially if a preferential ballot, presenting different plans, could be used.
COMPANY MANNERS
Several weeks ago at the Nebraska game, in an appeal to the students for less booing, it was said that "Kansans are good sports!" During the remainder of that game, the conduct of the audience was commendable—for a Kansas rooting section.
Last night booing was again in vogue. Of course, the spectators can see better and know more about the event. The referee — that is to be expected.
Must Kansans be prompted every game to watch their conduct, like the little boy who has to be reminded about his manners when company comes?
NOW THAT THEY HAVE IT —WHAT?
For years, the Philippines have been seeking their independence and now that it has been granted by Congress in over-riding the President's veto, they show no enthusiasm and are still dissatisfied. Like a spoiled child, they wanted something which, when they did receive it, was not the thing they wanted at all.
If they were not capable of governing themselves during prosperity it seems incredible that they would be competent in such a time as the present. The United States has been both praised and criticized for her previous action in regard to the Philippines and one wonders now just what the reaction will be.
It is a difficult thing to please everyone but independence may bring to the islands the realization that they can't eat their cake and have it too.
A PUBLICITY STUNT
For the second time within a month, Representative MacFadden, of Pennsylvania, has introduced into the House of Representatives a motion to impeach President Hoover for "high crimes and misdemeanors," and for the second time the House has overwhelmingly voted against the notion.
Just what Mr. MacFadden's motives may be in taking such action is not known. It is barely possible that he may have a just cause for complaint and might be able to present a plausible case against the retiring President. If he does have such a case, however, he has yet to convince more than eleven members of the House of its merits.
A much more credible explanation of the would-be impacher's conduct, in view of the fact that Mr. Hoover has only a little more than a month left to serve, seems to lie in the fact that the gentleman from Pennsylvania has attained no little personal publicity as a result of his bitter attacks on the President, Perhaps Mr. MacFadden likes to see his name on the front page. Perhaps the welfare of the country is not his concern. At least, if it is he has failed to make that fact clear by his actions toward President Hoover.
Fashion is a tyrann from which nothing frees us. We must suit ourselves to its fantastic tastes. But, being compelled to live under its foolish laws, the wise person is never the first to follow nor the 'list.'
FASHION
Cast an eye on our gay and fashionable world, and what do you see, for the most part, but a set of querulous, emaciated, fluttering fantastical beings, worn out in the keen pursuit of pleasure! Fashions are little more than the ostentation of riches, and thus does industry tax the vanity of the rich.
However, fashion presides not alone in matters of dress and amusement. This frivolous lady is the great governor of the world. She presides in law, physics, politics, religion, and other pursuits of the gravest nature. The wisest man would be puzzled to give any better reason why particular forms in all these have been at certain times universally received, and, at other times, universally rejected than that they were in or out of fashion.
However, it is as absurd to suppose that everything fashionable is bad, as it would be to suppose that everything unfashionable is good. As a bit of advice, we might suggest that one be not too early in the fashion, nor too long out of it, nor at any time in the extremes of it.
System is really a great asset in any life.
If one's time is consumed in a productive manner there can be no question but the result of his labors will be satisfactory. Many a student, both in and out of school, goes through life wondering why it is that he or she cannot get things done in a successful way.
ORGANIZED WORK
In a majority of such cases the trouble may be found in the fact that there has been no system used in utilizing time. Too much of the time has been unproductive or spent at leisure, during which nothing profitable has been accomplished.
Constant energy and organized work have solved most economic problems. They will solve scholastic difficulties just as easily.
OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
Vol. XXX           Friday, Jan. 29, 1933          No. 90
GERMAN CLUB:
The German club will meet Monday at 4:15 in room 313 Fraser. Officers for next semester will be chosen, and Herr Bruckmann will talk to the club. This is an important meeting and all members are urged to be present.
WHO SHOULD ACCOUNT?
Finals are over; papers are in;
inconscientious professors are satisfied;
even grades are of little importance.
What could be more heavenly than such a pause in
the midst of seething turmoil?
At the first of the semester the student goes to the office of his particular school and plasters the till with a sample of his hard-earned (directly or indirectly) money.
Notice due at Chancellor's Office at 11 a.m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11 a.m. or 13 a.m. for Sunday issues.
Even Christmas vacation with all its fun and brilliance is not to be compared with that post-final period in which one virtually recaptures his youth. There are no sudden recollections of papers to be written or note-books to be completed as one sits enjoying the winter moonlight. There is no constant foreboding of finals to be reckoned with sometime in the near future as one lies late abed in the morning. Only sublime oblivion and peace and contentment!
In all fairness, is it right for an the accounting to be done by the student or should there not be some way of ascertaining from this supposedly select group of students its honest opinion of the "value received" from the course as offered.
MATHEMATICS CLUB:
ELIZABETH TAXACHER, Vice President.
At the end of the semester, the change which is called education has put him into the position of a bedraggled and often hopeless seeker after a grade from the very person whose salary the aforesaid shekels have been paying.
SCHOLARSHIPS:
There will be a regular meeting Monday, Jan. 23, at 4:30 in room 211 entrance Administration building. F. A. W. David will speak on the subject "Some Church Activities."
Many professors decy the tendency to keep criticism from themselves or their courses. Perhaps a more honest questioning of our educational process would yield profitable information.
YOU DO IT FIRST
Brace up, fellow sufferers and members of the struggling student body! Don't let them say you can't take it, for after all just around the corner is the pause that refreshes. Not prosperity—not Coca Cola—but almost a week of perfectly glorious freedom!
The policy Kansas and Missouri both seem to be adopting in regard to a Thanksgiving game next year seems to be "You do it first." Kansas politely says that if Missouri wants a football game on Thanksgiving day that it will be agreeable. At the same time Missouri replies that she will be glad to have a game on Thanksgiving day if Kansas so desires. Perhaps they need a third party to come in to tell them that they have to have the game Thanksgiving day.
THE PAUSE
Several scholarships for girls will be available for the second semester, including some Watkins hall scholarships. Applications may be made in room 210 Fraser on Tuesday, Jan. 24, from 11:30 to 12, or appointment may be made by telephone.
E. GALLLOO, Chairman.

On Other Hills
The 1933 education class at the University of Wisconsin received some news recently when a speaker told them that only one out of every four students in their school of education would be able to look forward to a position next June.
At a recent meeting of the National Student Federation congress at New Orleans, La., attended by representatives from 25 universities, a resolution was passed giving defender approval of commendation for college football players.
In order to stimulate the sale of ekimo kipoes and popoon balls at a party sponsored recently by the As-associated Women Students at the University of Oregon, organized houses did not serve dessert at the event.
The final word about examinations may be tarnished up in the three “RE,” rest, relax, and reason, according to a study of 197 U.S. college home. Bull sessions are better than books, and black coffee may leave a dark brown taste in your mouth on the morrow, the professor says, in the case of examinations of mind and body before the great test.
