OUR HOLIDAY
Upholding the traditions of the University, the senate today approved the extra half holiday always granted University students when the football team wins over Missouri. School will be officially dismissed tomorrow at 5 o'clock. The exodus of students will probably start in the morning following the morning classes.
Each year students and faculty wait impatiently for the official statement of dismissal and each year numerous rumors denying that the tradition will again be carried out, are circulated. But the plan has become to fixed in the minds of University people through a period of several years that each individual, down deep in his heart, knows that this year will be no exception.
And so, Thanksgiving and home!
Pumpkin pills, turkey, and rest,
lots of rest. Five days of vacation
then back to the dear old Alma
Mater where faculty members are
human and students are glad of it.
TEA DANCES
A joint committee of faculty members and students has placed before the governing associations a proposition which would eliminate the hour social dances sponsored by organized houses in favor of afternoon tea dances. The proposal suggests that two of these dances be held at the Union building each week and that a small admission fee be charged, the funds to go to the W. S. G. A. and the Men's Student Council to be used on the campus as these organizations see fit.
Organized houses are at the present time paying Union rates of $3 for pianists for an hour's dancing. Should this proposal be accepted, Greek letter organizations would be able to make a substantial cut in their expenditures and at the same time student governing bodies would be furnished with some capital with which to conduct the necessary business of the student body. By replacing the one-hour dancing period with two afternoon periods University students would be given ample opportunity for social meetings and would undoubtedly find fewer conflicts in their evening's program. Meetings of Hill societies would not be broken up to such an extent through the absence of members and campus and social activities would fall into their respective places.
Perhaps none of the budget plans adopted by various faculties to help relieve the financial deficits facing most colleges has been as unique as that adopted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Its uniqueness arises from the fact that the school's budget had previously been balanced, as well as from the nature of the two-part plan.
A UNIQUE BUDGET PLAN
The faculty members have voted to lay up a reserve by giving ten per cent of their salaries from December to July and by putting the faculty "split-fees" fund at the disposal of the Institute if a deficit occurs. This latter fund is p 50-50 split on money earned by
--teachers outside their college work, accumulated for the purpose of enabling professors to do research work or to take leave of absence.

Monday, 29.11.1932
No. 56
Notice due at Chancellor's office at 11 a.m. on regular afternoon publication days
and 11:30 a.m. Saturday for Sunday issues.
The Kansas Association of Chemical Engineers will meet Tuesday, Nov. 22,
in the Chemistry building, at 4:30 p.m. W. A. HARDESY, JR., President.
HOSPITAL HOURS:
Vacation hours at the Hospital will be 10 to 12 each morning with the exception of Thursday. There will be no regular hours on Thursday. For all emergency cases outside the hours mentioned above telephone for an appointment.
R. I. CANUTESON.
PRACTICE TEACHING:
Students wish to enroll in practice teaching in Oread Training School during the spring semester should make application for such practice teacher training.
PRE-MEDICAL STUDENTS:
The medical aptitude test, devised by the Association of American Medical Colleges as one requirement for admission into medical school, will be given on Dec. 9, 1932, at 2 p.m. in room 101, Snow hall. Since this is the only time it will be given to all students, all who plan to enter medical school at Kansas University or elsewhere by the fall of 1933 should take it. A fee of $1 is to be collected from each student at the time the test is given.
R. A. SCHWEGLER, Dean.
SCHOLARSHIPS:
PARKE WOODARD.
Several scholarships for women students who will graduate at commencement are to be awarded now, as the holders did not return to school this fall. Applications will be received in room 210, Fraser hall, on Tuesday from 11:30 to 12:30. Appointment may be made by telephone.
Unique also may be the proviso that if the salary donations are not needed, they will be prorated back. With these strings on each of the two parts of the fund, one wonders what plan the faculty would have used if the budget had not been balanced previously.
We differ a little from our most honorable critic. The student is
Instead of moving the students to the east side of the stadium to increase the noise during games why not move the alumni?
EXIT FRATERNITIES, AND-
E. GALLOO, Chairman.
The problem of fraternity taxation ceases to be merely a matter of "Will fraternities be taxed?" and evolves into the rather profound question of, "If fraternities are taxed ..." It becomes a serious consideration of the University as a whole, not one affecting only those organized groups who form the target for taxpayers, who believe, perhaps rightly, that fraternities should not be exempt from the tax-roll of the state of Kansas. There are on the University campus some forty-odd Greek institutions which maintain housing accommodations for approximately one-third of the students During these years of depression each of the above organizations is operating on a budget fixed at a figure which barely meets maintenance costs, and not a budget including provisions for the payment of taxes. Should the supreme court of Kansas decide to tax fraternities, predictions indicate that within five years there will be no such organizations at the University—this, too, because of financial reasons. It is quite possible, however, that the period cited for their existence in the face of taxation is somewhat exaggerated, for with conditions as they exist, with two years' back taxes to pay now and another assessment due, the life of many of these Kansas Greeks lodges will be ended abruptly.
The average intelligence of a college student, according to most self-styled critics, is equal to that of a five pound catfish. We don't know why they used the word catfish except that is a well known beast to use for comparison. The student goes without a hat, lets his socks drag on the ground, and subs on cokes, hamburgers, bootleg whisky, (the Missouri students deny that they drink), and hot air furnished by some members of the faculty.
The student is not a human being. No human being could continue to exist, breathe, live, or palpitate under the conditions that meet the student. He has sort of grown out of his human being state, or putting it better, evolved up or down from the status of "human-beinness."
INTELLIGENCE
We may not be human beings, but we know the difference between the Republican and Democratic platforms. Don't ask us, we might compromise ourselves.
not only coe-eaked, but is probably shooting off his mouth about something that he knows nothing about. We do eat hamburgers once in a while, we like our cokes, and as for subsisting on hot air, most of it goes over our heads. Hot air rises, you know!
LIFE GOES ON
At last politics has been relegated to a minor place in the day's news and we can go back to our regular fare.
Greta Garbo is back in the timelight. The student governing bodies, the varsity dance manager, and the Hill dance orchestras are still enjoying little tea-parties and tetea-tetes (trying to cut each other's throats, you Mugs—with apologies to metropolitan columnists). The president-elect has a new grandchild, several University men are hoping that their taxi-does come back from the Puff Pent prom in good condition, and Thanksgiving vacation still looms as a major issue.
Oh hum! A prominent professor has invited the "crabbers" to come to his office for heart-to-heart "bull sessions," the annual Red Cross drive is under way, sixteen members of the student body went "artistic," and nearly all of the defeated candidates have sent their congratulatory messages and received appreciative replies.
Samuel Insull is being brought back to meet all of his friends in America and President-elect Roosevelt is taking a college professor with him when he goes to discuss matters with President Hoover. Lily Pens has a pet jaguar, two hunters looked through opposite ends of the same pipe and one of them had his face well filled with buckshot, and while the Lawrence police were writing the names of a couple of burglaries in the big book, one of the pair fitted away. Not only that, but last night two alleged bootleggers, in the process of being enrolled by the same agency, wandered downtown to a picture show. And they say turkeys will be cheaper this year. So goes the world, both on and
CHILDREN AT HEART
So goes the world, both on and off the front page.
Thanksgiving vacation—going home—big dinner—lots of sleep—that's what the students are thinking about now. College students are blaze. They don't care anything about the old home town. They never get homesick. But just wait for a vacation. They start talking about it weeks in advance. "Are you going home?" "I sure am, I have to give the home town a break once in a while." "I'll be kind of good just to sit around and talk to Mother and Dad rest for a while."
After all it's a pleasure sometimes to relax and be childish again.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan:
There comes a time in every small boy's life when he learns to whistle and to make jibes at passing strangers, but after he reaches a certain age one of his friends must leave him his life completely. Unfortunately as it may seem, we have in our midst a group of supposedly young men who have never outgrown their habit. Their voices lie in standing on the steps of the Jaw building whistling and making remarks at passers-by. Never once is their victim given any kind of consideration whatever. Maybe she is how-legged she is, maybe they are plane wings but they probably realize their monstrosities, so why rub it in? A client would be unwise to choose his lawyer from such a group, for it might not be the least, to have a lil' suit brought against him because his representative just couldn't give up his childish habit.

The price of silk is going up! In a short time silk hosiery priced as low as this may be an unheard of thing. That's why we urge you to buy right now for Christmas gifts. It isn't a bit too early, and if you wait, you may have to pay much more. Every pair is sheer as a wisp all the way to the very top, and comes in the colors you want. Every pair perfect quality.
