"LET THE DEAD PAST BURY ITS DEAD"
1932 has passed into the annals of time. 1932, which left the world bewildered at the greatest economic depression in history, will bring back unpleasant memories of financial ruin, oversupply and hunger in every land.
All of that is part of 1932 and 1932 is gone. 1933 is here. The new year offers a new starting place for both the individual and the nation. A place from which a wiser people can build a new economic system that will reduce to a minimum cyclical depression and human suffering.
Whatever that system may be, it must be built in the future on a foundation of united effort. The past must have no part.
Certain American women have threatened to avoid Paris and its gowns on their European trips as a result of the French debt stand. Could it be that this is merely a rationalization coming out of their inability to afford the latest styles?
BROKEN RESOLUTIONS
Of course, you made New Year's resolutions. Everybody does. And, of course, you won't keep all of them and probably had no intention of keeping some of them. It makes no difference whether they pertained to study, to work, to play or to all three, you'll probably fall down on at least a few.
Yes, you're right. The idea wasn't original. Just an old Amos and Andy custom.
Years of experience have proved that New Year's resolutions are quickly made and as quickly forgetten, "Just a gesture" one co-peed put it. Yet in spite of all this, on New Year's eve we sat down to formulate a set of resolutions for the coming year. We took in all the usual ones, such as a determination to study and a promise to quit cutting school, and then came our most difficult resolution. We resolved to keep at least one of the resolutions above referred to.
The memory of that little girl back home will keep the sorority house phones idle for several days following the Christmas vacation.
THE HOME STRETCH
We have had the preliminary laps and the rest periods between heats of this semester. Now comes the grand rush for glory at the final tape.
There will be many who get away to a heavy start due to physical handicaps accumulated during the last rest period. This is apt to prove a great drawback when those who have built good starting holes dig in and take the lead from the start. It should be a thrilling race though with a great deal of benefit for the strong finishers who can remember a lot over a short period.
In the interest of good scholarship and a "jolly portion of good old form" as Bernie might state it, we may express her the hope that not too many of the consistently strong runners will be overtaken in this spurt.
He! Hum! What a life this getting up in the middle of the night to attend an 8:30 class is no picnic. Vacations are fine things, but these first classes after vacation; boy, what a terrible bore. No lessons, no pep, no sleep, and no interest. Why must we have a vacation.
AFTERMATH
We think that we are being cheated. The University and city schools are the only institutions that are open today. They have the opportunity to rest and think over their broken New Year's resolutions. If we had had this extra day of vacation we could have gotten over our hang-over, or worked up a new one. Any way that you put it, the first class after vacation is a terrible ordeal.
Few have done any studying over the holidays. There were lots of books taken home, but very few of them were ever cracked. We admit that the resolutions were good, but with parties and good times going on every night little time was left for catching up on the history notebook and writing that term paper.
After Christmas we had to have a week to get over our Christmas presents and to properly recoupe our finances. When that week was over New Years eve was staring us in the face. Why study? We go to school to do that.
Ho! Hum! Why continue this?
We think that we should go find a nice soft chair and get some sleep.
Politicians of the state of Washington will be able to sing the blues or orchestral accompaniment since Vic Meyer, well known dance and leader, has been elected lieutenant-governor of that state.
THE BURNING PIT
Millions of citizens of the United States, on a stated day, gather together in one place. A line of trucks, bearing $50,000,000 in U. S. currency, carry their load to the edge of the great pit and dump it in. It is saturated with gasoline, and a match applied. Then 10,000 persons are shoved into the burning pit.
If such a thing as the above happened, every newspaper in the civilized world would carry scareheads. It would be the main topic of conversation of a hundred nations. It would be denounced as the greatest crime in history.
Yet, in effect, this actually happens annually in the United States. Few people give it any particular thought because it doesn't happen at a given time on a given day—it happens throughout the year.
Wastes of life and economic resources are no worse when they occur over a period of time than when they occur within the hour. The effect is identical. The loss is as complete—the disaster is astounding. Perhaps the illustration given above may help focus the public mind on the magnitude, and the tragedy of fire.
Priceless manuscripts of George Washington have been found in Lee chapel at Washington and Lee University. They were in a box which had been left unopened since the death of James A. McGee, the founder of Lee. Among the papers were the last of the undiscovered accounts of General Washington—Duke Collegiate.

Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
It is our opinion that the librarians at the reserve desk at the Library, are either disgustingly warm blooded or else their red flammels are a tiny hitter than ours. In either case the result is proving decidedly disagreeable for those students who must of necessity study in the basement. Even when they are not studying, the zero mark those worthy people at the desk, which incidentally is out of the way of disturbing draughts, insist on keeping the windows open.
--is a good way to start the New Year at the
With transits gaping on both the east and north sides of the room, the wind these winter mornings has a clean sweep, and those who would get out of its path must either crowd back in the south-east corner behind those fortunately placed center stacks or else remain seated. A well ventilated, room of the Library. The latter alternative usually proves more practical in the long run.
-A.G.A.
The pure and lofty atmosphere cooling Mount Oread's feverish brow has become murky with equine epipathes, such as horse's neck, horse's tail, Horse Scholars. It remains for some one endowed with a few scintillation of horse sense to remontrate that though Kansas has her Cow College, there is at present no agitation from the broocle of the horse to that of a Horse College. Further, may the instigators of this back-to-the-pasture lingual movement realize that their hoarse stridials reckless loss of the horse than of the lowly jackass.

The architect who had the ghostly inspiration and designed those steps must laugh with diabolic glue at the thought of people walking up and down them. For they are the most creative in design, and their designer felt on his dotted public.
The riser is not high enough to make a man-sized comfortable step, and the top is too broad for conveniently taking two steps at a time. The riser is not large enough to step in a manner that is not destructive of one's self esteem as a finished stair-climber is to enchure the steps entirely and take to the terrace at the side. There, at least, it is possible to regulate your pedal extremities at the top of the stairs. An accolade, then, to the opprobrious architect who designed that airyce.

SEND THE KANSAN TO THOSE RUSHEES
Did you pick out some likely looking rushees while you were home for Christmas?
Better arrange now to have the Kansan sent to them every day for a while. Turn in the names at the Kansan Business Office and we'll send out the paper every day.
A few days after the paper starts going to them, send them a letter telling them that your organization is sending the paper to help acquaint them with the University and its affairs.
The Kansan will be glad to change addresses or add new names whenever the fraternity desires.
The cost is very reasonable. Ask at the Kansan business office for further details.
