About what phase of the University did most people inquire while you were at home spending the vacation? Did they ask about the scholastic achievements of the school? Were you asked about the equipment, buildings, and grounds? Did you have opportunities to explain the systems of instruction employed by the professors? Or, were you asked the usual questions concerning the athletic teams and the social life of the University?
How does publicity given scholastic achievement compare in volume to the publicity given a winning football team? It is no wonder that modern parents think twice before sending their sons and daughters to institutions when all they can learn about them is that they have an athletic schedule and a full social program.
These two phases of the student's life occupied only a minor part in the college life of our fathers and mothers. Students desired ways and means of spending their spare time and these were conceived. It is the old story of the tail growing so large that it wags the dog. It would seem that we are losing sight of the real object of schools.
The answer to that question is that we can not control them except to a limited extent. As long as we have them with us we can not hope to raise scholarship to its rightful position in college life. It is the case where the actions of many are judged by the actions of a few. It pays to advertise, and as long as we advertise to the "good time Charles" and the "sofa-sitting Susies" they are the ones we will attract.
We must admit that some students come to the University for the main purpose of having a good time. Whether this element is increasing or not is a matter for conjecture. In what manner can we control these "Hey Hey Collegegers?"
ARE WE PROGRESSING?
When one is content he is done—or should be done with this life. It has been the malcontents that have accomplished the great things in this world. It has been those who were dissatisfied with conditions, customs, moral codes, and civic laws, who have accomplished reforms that improved conditions.
However, it is sad to note that there are so great a number of contented or indifferent people that reforms have had to be gradual. To think that our nation is so filled with log headed, self-complacent, and log satisfied persons that needed reforms must await their demise.
A person who is contented not only has ceased to exist, but he is standing in the way of others who come after him. The Eskimos leave their old people who would halt progress in thinking and doing, to die.
It seems a cruel practice, but would it not be better to do away with those whose decaying ideas are hindering the freedom of thought and action.
A LIBERAL COLLEGE EDUCATION
The precise value of a liberal college education has been a much discussed question. Such Americans as Franklin, Emerson, Adams, and present day statesmen believe it to be of infinite value. Yet seniors everywhere are saying that college has left them with nothing but shattered dreams, ideals and a confused state of mind. After spending four years in intellectual pursuit, they find themselves empty-handed at graduation.
This feeling has been generally prevalent among college students. It is a serious problem in many instances. Students should quiz themselves and make sure that they are not just indulging in self-pity. Many times students defend and excuse their own shortcomings both to themselves and to others by saying that college is responsible for their broken dreams and ideals. Youth seems to expect too much and is therefore necessarily exposed to daily disappointments and mortifications.
Students usually have this feeling of confusion about the same time they develop their wisdom teeth. This confusion probably may be the result of a form of morbid philosophic psychology indulged in at this period in life. Hand in hand with this, students begin to brood on the meaning and purpose of everything.
All of this leads us to wonder about their conception of a college education. The primary aim of education should be to teach people to think—to improve their minds, enabling them to think for themselves rather than to load the memory with thoughts of other men. Professional training has its place, but a liberal college education has equally as many advantages, and should be fairly accepted at its worth.
Students look lingeringly at Old Snow Hall as they pass by it on the board walk. They are reluctant to see it go. Yet no one seems to feel its departure as acutely as the sparrows. They flutter bewildered about the few remaining fragments of vine, seeking shelter from the cold. They poke in at the windows, the crevices, and the naked beams, but they find no warmth. Old Snow has no protection to offer them now . . .

JUST A MATTER OF A QUIZ
"Next Thursday we will have a quiz over the last five chapters."
"Oh Professor Hemingway, not Thursday, I have two other quizzes."
"Don't you think that we would get move out of these chapters if we had a review over them Thursday instead?"
"Yes, Professor, we need a good review and then have a quiz next week."
"What good are quizzes? At Oxford they don't give quizzes until the students feel that they are ready for them."
"We'll have the quiz Thursday." Has anyone ever convinced a professor yet?
The question of whether or not the state of Kansas is receiving adequate return on the money it has invested in the University often comes up for consideration. Much can be said on both sides, but evidence seems to favor those who contend that the University is rendering back to the state what is its due.

In the second group, questions of national interest were considered. How long do you think this depression will last? Do you favor the repeal of the eighteenth amendment? Would you prefer to live in some other country? Have you ever been in fortune telling? Have you ever doubted your sanity?
their places in the world and become creditable members of society, they have fulfilled their part of the agreement and the state has received back whatever it has expended on the University a hundred-fold.
The first group was on life and love in general such as: Do you believe in kissing on the first date? Is necking an expected convention, or is it fun? Do you believe in college marriages? Do you believe in the single standard? Do you believe in a brunette? Do you object to the use of tobacco in the opposite sex?
All women students remaining in Lawrence during the Christmas holidays are requested to leave their names and addresses at the Dean of Women's office. Some social activity is planned if there are enough students to warrant it.

At the Concert
By Elliott Penner
Jose Hurti, regarded by most critics as the world's greatest pianist, played an extremely interesting program in his return engagement in the concert course series in the University Audience. Three young men, possibly from Pretty Prairie, who laughed rascively as he turned the hard-screws to raise his seat before playing, were heard to sigh in awe after his flashing fingers had completed the program, ending with a celebration of "L'Campanella" (Pasanquti).
His effect upon the more musically inclined was much more marked. The whole audience, in fact, responded to the mood of playing more completely than an audience has to any such event here for some time. The enthusiastic admiration of the applause after the first group, calling for an encore, was at marked contrast to the quieter hand-clapping by the audience in the ALI "a片" coming from the relaxed, but completely contented, listeners.
In an attempt, possibly, to secure further interest of those who do not relish the technical qualities of Bach, the printed program included a short course in the French language and the departure of his beloved brother," containing such items as "Friends persuade him to undertake the journey" and "Adap丢issimo - Lamenta-
Turbi was especially remarkable in realizing the unexpected chord effects in the Schumann "Sonata in G minor, Opus 22," and in weaving the delicate effects to produce the illusive scene of "Poisona d'Ore" (Debussy). And it was with this joy that he lent his fingers to a cloud of smoke passing over the keys, after hearing and watching him play Brahms "Variations on a Theme of Paganini."
The artist was recalled for three encounters to the program; responding with a fiery A flair and a muscular Chopin, and the "Rhympool in G Minor" of Brahms.

Thoughts of an old French Woman at a Public Washplace in Sight of the Sea
Have I been here long?
How the sun long shine?
News From Home
How long has the sea lain blue out there.
And the salt winds blown
To ruffle the sea and my graying hair?
How long have the white boats come to shore
And the little children played in the sand
With each day only one day more Of boats and water, children and land—
Have I been here long?
Have I been here long?
