THURSDAY, JANUARY 5, 1933 IT'S A DISEASE Freshman, this is your first taste of that period in college life when you will be subjected to the influence of that peculiar malady known as pre-exam jitters. Do not become alarmed; it is a disease that has, in most instances, no lasting effects. The remedy? It is a very simple one,'and the first dose consists in finding and retaining a large quantity of that intangible something known as morale. From this point the rest is simple. The patient leads a safe and sane existence doing a fair-sized, but not an abnormally large, amount of work. He, or she, manages to get to bed at a reasonable hour and comes up for final week with a clear head and a reasonable amount of information. Following the above prescription will result in the individual's finding himself enrolling in new courses next semester and wondering why there ever was any worry over the grade. Possibly the same or a similar formula may have to be followed at other periods in one's college life, but they are never as bad as the first one. THE DAY-DREAMER Although Charlie may be occupying more than his share of library space, using one chair for himself, one for his feet, and one for his coat, yet if you see that "host to the world" expression in his eye do not disturb him, for he may be planning a five-year plan to save our country from chaos, or a new safety appliance for aerophanes. Day-dreaming, they tell us, often is the sign of an inventive and creative mind. If so, Charlie will certainly make his mark in the world and give our University renown the world over as the school "where Charlie got this start." Charlie checks out book after book from the reserve desk, but doesn't seem to find it necessary to read them as thoroughly as his weaker brethren must. Just a glance at the title, or a flip through the pages, sends him off into a reverie from which he never fully awakens until the whistle reminds him that it is time to go elsewhere. In class, the professors seem to supply him with an unlimited amount of food for thought. He listens attentively to the lecture for five minutes, perhaps, then sinks down in his chair, laps into a state of coma, and again his day-dreams go on where they had previously left off. Too bad his creative powers must be interrupted occasionally! Fact finding committees, stabilization of employment committees, relief study committees, vocational guidance committees public information committees—committees ad infinitum —bu what of the preservation-of-lif committees? MACHINERY OR RELIEF? At present, the unemployment situation in American cities is scarcely a condition that can be studied scientifically and at great length, especially when thousands are hungry and many are actually starving to death. The end of unemployment is not in sight, but that of the capacity of local charity organizations to deal with it is. The red tape and the complexity of the municipal committee machinery have become so intricate that they virtually defeat their own ends. The whole thing is no less than a case of the tail wagging the dog. A starving man must be reported, investigated, evaluated, and catalogued before he is eligible for the eight or ten cents a day provided by the average city government for people in his condition. If he succumbs in the gutter from sheer hunger and exposure in the meantime—well that is just too bad. The committees must be conscientious in their work; they must earn their salaries! What is the object in going into a lengthy investigation of a man's character when he presents himself at a relief station for food? An unworthy man can get just as hungry as a worthy one, after all a mere difference in degree of worth is hardly a justifiable basis for deciding whether a humankind person shall have food. While the city organizations are holding expensive conventions and while well-paid committee workers are gathering data, the Salvation Army and private charity groups are bravely and cheerfully operating soup kitchens or providing emergency lodgings. If effective aid is to be provided in the metropolitan centers, high powered committeemen and racketeering politicians will have to be eliminated from the organizations. The rules and regulations drawn up by those who wish to appear to be earning their salaries actually exclude many of the unemployed from the aid that is rightfully due them. The unemployment situation, though it cannot be entirely wiped out, can be noticeably relieved. It is the duty of everyone as a human being to divide with his fellow man. Says C. M. Bookman in a recent article in the Survey magazine, "The unemployed have formerly contributed their strength to building up the capital assets of the nation. They are now public charges. They are also our fellow citizens and our future working force. Therefore, we must virtually mortgage the future in order to secure success in the present." NEW YEAR KEYNOTES Co-operation and charity during the coming year were keynotes in New Year messages of Calvin Coolidge, Alfred E. Smith, and Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt this year. These admonitions are significant in these times of economic distress. Who ever heard of charity being nationally advocated in the booming days of the past years? Competition ran wild then, and no one gave much thought to cooperation except for selfish interests and personal gain. LESSONS FROM ATHLETICS LESSONS FROM KARDNER The beginning of the current basketball season for the Kansas team was not very encouraging, with the wildcats walking off with the two exhibition games. While the rest of us were vacationing at home on the boys on the Kansas squad stayed on a deserted campus working out every day in preparation for the real tests to come. The series w.h Stanford revealed a Kansas aggregation ready for Big Six competition. These are abnormal times, economically. It is in this time when one is thrown on his own resources, that he realizes how dependent he is on his fellowmen for life and happiness. Who knows but men shall rise from these times sancer and wiser because they have learned the value of co-operation and charity? We should be quick to learn from these victories and this new fitness. The team took no chances on there being a Santa Claus, but went to work instead to perfect OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Yel.

Perhaps the confidence which the players felt in themselves as they took to the court in the Stanford series gave them more pleasure than they sacrificed during the Christmas holidays.

The fact that old age is creeping steadily upon us is always brought home during vacation periods. We see strange faces, and later find that they are merely the faces of children changed by adolescence. We see boys, who were being taken back and forth to school by their mothers when we knew them, reel drunkenly around the dance floors. These mere babies seem to have taken over the social life of the whole city. The Inter-racial group of the W.C.A. will hold its regular meeting at Henley house this evening at 7 o'clock. Henley house this evening at 7 o'clock. DORRICE SNYDER, DORIS ROLLINS, Chairm. INTER-RACIAL GROUP OF Y. W. C. A.: Hello, hello, hello! Similar to this case is our own. Only in our case it's the test of finals that is looming up. Right now an examination of our intelligence on certain subjects would be more than a risk; it would be a riot, with our senses scattered and our scared wits trampled under by fear. In the remaining weeks we're going to take a lesson from the Kansas team; in the hope that when examinations come we shall be able to knock them clear back to California. WE GROW OLD AND STRANGE HIS NUMBER. At the same time we are experiencing disgust at the uprising of the younger generation, we are forced to amend the old adage, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder," with the recently conceived postscript, "for somebody else." We still know all our old friends, but somehow we have drifted from their thoughts. Now we understand why our letters become thinner and fewer as the months drift by. We find ourselves feeling strangely out of place in our own home town. We look forward, with pleasure, to the end of the vacation, and solemnly vow that we will never again suffer from homesickness. Yet, after we have resumed our studies vacation after vacation, with this vow in mind, we will find that we still long to go home and "see the old gang." Only three weeks before exams" — that is running through the mind of every student on the Hill. Some of us will buckle down to work immediately; but the majority will sit by and think, possibly worry, and do the well known act of cramming the night before. Why don't these poor fellows use a grain of sense and begin studying a little from day to day? Try it just for the fun of it, since school must go on. TAKE HEED The Campus Pest All students should envy this campus pest, for he's the lid or lassie who never cracks a book. He's the boy or girl who never has to study to pass a quiz, the senor or senator who can walk in the textbook, without having lifted its cover, the homme or femme whose term papers somehow magically almost write themselves, the fraulein or herb who never needs to take lecture notes. We are the person in the campus pest. We're heartily for the person who can pass in all his courses without studying. That's one quality with which we're going to equip performers for the kind of class this type only passes the course because someone else cracks a book and spends some time studying. He borrows your lecture notes, he takes a squint at your term paper, 'just to get the paper done.' He gets to age get help from you at final examination time, in short, he creates through the course on your momentum. If we had not irreverently sworn off during the year, we wouldn't be able to resist the temptation to remark that books isn't all its cupboard to be unpacked! BLUE MILL 1009 Mass.
