FBIDAY, DECEMBER 9. 1932 OUR CLOSING HOURS The strident controversy on the Hill regardless compulsory closing hours for women students has brought forth comments and criticisms from a number of students, the majority of whom seem to favor the abolition of the 10:30 regulation. It is probable that students who have so expressed themselves are doing so in the utmost faith but it is an old realization that those content with the present regime are less inclined to voice their opinions. All of which leads us to wonder, if, after all, these expressions are in any way indicative of the common student opinion? When the 10:30 rule was adopted several years ago it was put into effect by the administration on the suggestion and the wishes of students, both men and women. Its passage was the result of their earnest wish for such a measure. These students who had been acquainted with the campus problems resulting from the non-existence of a closing hour for women, weighed the advantages and disadvantages of the proposition. Their final decision was the result of a thorough investigation. To do a day when a number of students would remove this student-made regulation the same thoroughness should be taken in looking into the advisability of such a change. Too many men and women are taking the thing at its face value with out stopping to consider the best good for the greatest number. A "campus opinion" in the Oregon Daily Emerald of December 2 decries the warmth of the water in the journalism building drinking fountain. Gesh, are they just beginning to feel the depression out there? NEAR ENOUGH Too many students today are finding that they have been like the spinster who maintained that the man she married would have to have a yearly income of not less than $50,000. When, however, her prince charming arrived with a salary of $2,000 per annum, she sighed in perfect contentment and said, "Oh, well, that's near enough." Each semester as final time rolls around there is a period of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth on the parts of the students who have been satisfied to say, "That's near enough." Perhaps it was a translation exercise. Three hundred lines were assigned, but then, what the heck. No professor could cover that much ground in a measly fifty minutes. A hundred and twenty-five lines ought to pass and besides there was a good movie at the theater. Perhaps it was a term paper. The assignment was five to twenty thousand words on an optional subject. Of course the ambition was twenty thousand words, but when Thanksgiving vacation arrived and nothing had been accomplished, well-five thousand was near enough anyway and it would be a shame to spoil the Christmas holiday season with annoying educational routine. "Near enough" is quite satisfactory as a temporary philosophy and to those who employ it come numerous good times which cannot be enjoyed by the thorough and conscientious students. The sad part of the whole thing is that the showdown is bound to come sooner or later. To the theory of "That's near enough," should be added the corollary, "But, remember, finals are coming." UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE. KANSAS LIFE "Hi pal." "Lo." "What's the matter? Sleepy?" "Naw, I get lots of sleep." "Must be love then?" "Naw, it's a girl." "You shouldn't let a girl get you down that way. Be masterful. Turn that old personality plus on, and she'll fall for you." "Sure, don't be discouraged, pal. But remember, early to bed and early to rise and your girl goes out with other guys." WILL YOU RE GRADUATED? WILL YOU BE GRADUATED? Each semester just before the close of the term a number of seniors come face to face with the realization that they lack junior-senior hours for graduation or they have not been enrolled in a course necessary for their particular degree. In an effort to cut down the number of such cases the college has adopted a method of checking hours with individual students several times prior to their expected graduation. Yet there are invariably a number of men and women on the Hill who fail to co-operate with the college in this measure. Several days ago the registrar's office mailed cards to students asking them to come in and check for graduation. Some students complied with the request but a number failed to heed it on the assumption that they would have another chance to check in their last semester. In many cases students do not stop to realize that such a check is Notion due at Chaucer's Office at 11 a.m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, for Friday Sundays.

His plan for an immediate cash payment of almost any amount the United States could not sound reasonable. In a recent magazine article by Maxwell S.

When President-elect Roosevelt and President-reject Hoover got together a few days ago, they were in agreement on the major points of the war debt problem. With two men of supposedly different political policies agreeing on the same propositions, we were led to assume that they must be more right than wrong. Y. W. C. A. CHRISTMAS BAZAAR; The Y.W.C.A.

Small changes in credit hours," which may occur from time to time, make it essential that students keep in touch with their own records. "To graduate or not to graduate. That is the question," and University men and women will find it to their own advantage to co-operate with authorities in the credit checking. WHERE ARE WE? points were refuted with arguments that seemed just as good, it not better. The United States had not really cancelled any of the debt; payment was dependent on reparations; Europe was not able to pay; and the cost of foreign armaments had not increased as much as those of this country. To all of which we feel like sitting down on a log with George Bunge and wondering how long we can keep going around in a circle. The Campus Muse Then suddenly—as one with eye-sight falling. Thinking deep in himself, looks up to see. For down the street uncertain figures trailing, And feels at once their unreality He saw the rabbit lying on the ground In queer, unheeding quietness of heart, And looking up, the open hills around In the late afternoon, in no wind's breath. Then remembered how, late one fall week When look leaves drifted, ember after ember, He had gone hunting down along the creek. Sh-h-h---- I'm going to be "Santa Claus" myself this year. I've had loads of fun getting ready to make a lot of people happy and it really surprised me how much I could buy for so little this year. Yes, I've done practically all my shopping at WEAVER'S store. And how his shotgun echeed in the timber, And how the squirrel fell through the still air Into the leaves, and lay half buried there. —Ray Miller.
