SCHOOL AS SCHEDULED WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1932 There will be no dismissal early on account of the widely circulated "flu epidemic," the chancellor's office stated yesterday. And thereby the case is officially closed, unless enough patients and sufferers of the dread malady can be mustered within a few days. Of course the Kansan is not recruiting "flo" members in order to gain a few extra days of vacation, but nevertheless it would be nice, and if the sufficient number of sufferers could be enlisted to gain the added vacation, then we certainly would take it. Not that it makes any difference; it is about six of one evil and a half-dozen of the other. If we could go home early, we would catch the deuce from the home folks in regard to those flunks at mid-semester, our attitude toward the decreased budget of Santa and various other matters. And if we stay here, we will catch a few exams next week, another paper in rhetoric, and a desire to loaf just another week longer. So it really doesn't matter so much after all. It is like "jumping out of the frying pan into the fire." Only five more weeks remain in this semester in which to show your professors that you have gained something by attending their classes. THE DEADLINE Term papers, notebooks, and various forms of reports undoubtedly will begin their existence during the Christmas holidays just as a matter of course in beating the deadline. Then too, there are those that will not be started until the last minute of the last night. How unfortunate it is that students don't realize that such projects require time and that the longer they are put off, the harder they are to do and much less effective to say the least. The world is made up of many different types of people, but we venture to say that students comprise over fifty per cent of that group which leaves everything to the last minute. Ten minute quizzes given at each class meeting in courses in which such a program could be followed have the advantage of being a distinct help to both the instructor and the student. TEN MINUTE QUIZZES If the extinction of Samuel Insul doesn't come soon, the American people will have forgotten all about him by the time he arrives in this country to face the embezzlement charges, and he probably will go scot-free. The instructor would have more on which to base the semester grade than possibly just the grade of the final examination. The student would be forced to keep up on his assignments each day. He would know what the instructor considers important in each assignment. Consistent studying helps to organize work which is the necessary factor for every successful enterprise. The faculty of Rochester university have abolished 8 o'clock classes because they prefer to have students sleep in bed rather than in classes. HO! HUM! It is incredible that student have any difficulty staying awake in any class, for classes always hold the greatest of interest for the individual. The professor is always in a good humor, students never get behind in their class work, their assignments are short so that no necessity ever arises for them to stay up late to study, and above all, the lectures are never bored some. Students are never tempted to cut that early morning class in order to get a few more minutes of sleep. Yawns are uncommon in the classroom, which all goes to prove that if you are here for an education, the hour when you receive your learning will not be the predominant factor. After all, the point is this wouldn't it be nice to do away with 8:30 classes here? For we'll agree with the Rochester faculty that the bed is a much more comfortable place to sleep than these hard one-armed chairs. WHAT OF COLLEGE? The general cry among students in our universities is, "Give us more fun, give us more parties, give us more freedom." How foolish it will seem to them after they have left school and gone out into life in search of fame and fortune. How foolish that they do not see the many opportunities they are throwing away. What does college mean to these young men and women? To some it seems a place for honest study and endeavor, but to all too many it just means a centralization of social activities. Their two aims are to have a good time and keep from flunking out of school. They should consider their school in the light of a training camp fitting them for battles and skirmishes in which they must participate in later years. They will need all their resources, and the more they have at their command, the more likely they are to win. In time of war, young recruits are sent to camp to learn their guns, and, when the time comes, to take their places in the army. The best trained soldiers rise high in rank. Yet the majority of first year students go to college with one thing in mind, to acquire an education. It does not take long. They join the chant, "Give us more fun, give us more parties, give us more freedom." DIVERGENT IDEAS Students have such widely divergent ideas about the functions of the University, what its achievements should be, and what they expect to get out of the time they spend here, that University methods and institutions are often sorely strained to satisfy everyone. Here's a student who wants from the University nothing more than a good time. His interests encompass nothing except parties, dates, and variesities. He does not try to get anything else out of his college career, and he is satisfied with four years spent in the pursuit of a good time. Then there is the type who is interested only in athletics. He spends a minimum of time at his books, takes only snap courses, spends the greater part of his time participating in sports, and votes his college life a huge success. There is the person who comes to Mt. Oread to achieve culture—a knowledge of good music, the arts, and the best of literature. He desires that the University should impart to him an air of poise, of well-breeding, and of sophistication. The students who desire, first of all, to get an education are in the majority. They plan to lead a well-rounded life while on the Hill. They take part in social life and in athletics, either actively or vicariously, seek to acquire culture, and attempt to make themselves well-rounded men and women, educated in the best sense of the word.

JOHNSON. President of Y.M.C.A. And ever the next pasture is greener! If people could only be content to do what is at hand, to take advantage of the opportunities that offer themselves, the ultimate result would be a far greater degree of happiness for all concerned. Of course, you'll say, that statement is trite, conventional, not to mention practicable. Why, how would the world progress if it weren't for the eternal struggle to get into the next pasture? Our social and economic structure would crumble into ruins if we allowed ourselves to be satisfied with what we have. It is only by hitching our wagons to the stars that we eventually arrive at success and produce values that may be handed on to posterity. The whole difficulty lies in the fact that the average person is not climbing the fences for the good he can do humanity, but for the more boost he can give his own ego. In his struggle toward attainment he loses sight of those about him and forgets that there can be happiness at all levels of the climb. Always, just ahead, he sees a possibility for greater accomplishment and for more placid contentment. We don't seem to realize that we can't all be Edisones or Wrights, or in some cases, members of the four hundred. We can't see that we are just "us" and that we must create our own happiness at whatever level we find ourselves. Happiness is hardly a commodity that can be bought or fought for at the expense of others. It is a state of well-being characterized by a relative degree of permanence which can seldom be maintained in an atmosphere of turmoil or unrest. The Campus Pest "What did you say? You spent ten dollars in one evening? Well, what of it? When times were good, I never saw them. When times were bad, twice as much on a good time— "Yek, K. H., has a pretty good campus, but you should see the campus at Wisconsin. Why even at Siswap preh is this? -Say! You should see THAT campus." "Oh, I'll admit the K. U. team looks fair at times last night; but we had basketball team at the prep the last year I was there that could ___." Can you think of anything that doesn't look small beside what he has seen? He can probably enough to have been born in average towns, but can he help it if the fates destined him to be always in sight of superlatives of life? He certainly can't. And in telling you about the things you've missed he gives you something to think about. He certainly does. The Campus Muse Life is a summer a life. Life is a summer's length with it. In beginnings cold morning when a neighbor's light. Flickers and dies after a night o burning. A nesting lark is not aroused flight By plowman going early to their corn Because her young are tapping in their shells— Then days grow longer and a sound is heard. In the green fields, of growing, while the cells Of bee, and ant, and wasp are filled with store. The earth gives bock her hire unto the sun, the snow turns yellow in its dusty The corn turns yellow in its dusty rows The black haws ripen, and the har vest done Where Students Go Shows of what worth the yield; a neighbor glancing Across the frosty fields sees the slow white Of smoke rise from a clearing and says softly, "They tell me that the old man died last night."
