SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 6. 1932 LIBRARY PESTS Some students do not realize that the library is a place in which to study and is not a social center For many it is merely a convenience meeting place to discuss practically any subject. A typical afternoon in the library sees little studying and much confusion. Students, as a rule, do not come in sinly, but rather in groups of four or five. They sit down at a table with some of their friends and Heaven help the unfortunate person who happens to be sitting there, with no interest in any of them, for their chatter runs from dates to clothes and back to dates again, without so much as a word about classes. It seems a shame that the sign in the library is all in vain. For the benefit of readers who do not frequent the library, it says, "Quiet. This building is for study." We note by the Syracuse Daily Orange that a beer college has been re-opened in Chicago by the Wabu-Henius institute of fermentation, after a recess of seventeen years. What a Homecoming that school could hold! THE NEW YALE PLAN Temporarily, at least, the day of the penniless student who earns his way through college is past. Dr. James Rowland Angell, president of Yale university, believes. In consistency with this belief, a requirement has been made at Yale that all freshmen, after their tuition has been paid, must have in addition a sufficient amount of money to take care of their neces sities for the school year. This step at Yale appears to be an indicator of a trend which many institutions of higher learning are beginning to take. With education becoming more and more a necessity in society, and with the economic status of the world in its present serious condition, such an announcement comes as a severe blow to young people not fortunate enough to have much money. Probably the main reason which would be given for the adoption of this new rule is the overroowed condition of colleges and universities. The students can not be handled properly with the present facilities, it is said. But is the move made by Yale in the right direction to adjust the situation properly? Another plan is proposed, that of making the scholastic requirements for entrance higher, so that only those who have the ability to learn may be admitted. In addition, scholastic attainments would be made more difficult to gain. In accordance with the beliefs which we of the western world hold about equality of man, the educators' plan is the more desirable. Hoover will make the "Big Swing" to his "front porch" in Palo Alto as the finale of his campaign. So many things improve with age; it's too bad this year that clothes can't be one of them. CRAMMING IN FIRST PLACE "Three o'clock last night and two the night before" is the theme song that most undergraduates have been singing for the past week. With mid-semesters in the offing, studying is becoming a diversion second to napse within the category of college activities. Clay A. Daggett contends that a half-hour of intensely concentrated study is* highly profitable and is approved by psychologists as a worthy method for the acquirement of knowledge. According to logical reasoning then, if a half-hour of concentration is beneficial, it must follow that two hours would be more beneficial and five hours most beneficial. At any rate this seems to be the justification offered by most students for midnight cramming. A sorority which voted to cut down expenses this year by not sending out Christmas cards is paying $159 for an orchestra for its Christmas party. The results of higher education. "There is not any perfect man except in relation to tasks and environments," says J.B.S. Haldane, British scientist. Such an announcement must come as a blow to a few politicians. THE LIPSTICK ACE Lipstick isn't one of the luxuries of women any more; it is a necessity. Some women use it to make themselves more beautiful and thereby gain an inner satisfaction. Some use it to flaunt before the world the fact that they are sophisticated and blase. Some apply it to improve their pout, while others simply wish to be alluring. Lipstick may be used because it tastes good. It doesn't matter how or why, it seems to be one of those things that is being done. With a veper service, a convec- cation, a concert, a lecture, a fo- ball game, and mid-s semester quizzes all in one week, the averag- e University student does not feel that he is "the forgotten man." SHIVERS Pur-r-p-r-r-h, but those sheets are cold three nights when you huddle within your shell of gooosefish and crawl pingerly from the frigid atmosphere of the sleeping porch into that even more frigid expanse of white sheets and try to wriggle in the warmest spot, which is about as cold as an icebox. From the frying pan into the fire, so to speak. Somebody, somewhere, somehow said that nature adjusts one's body to its environment as respects heat and cold. If this is true, please Mother Nature send a little adjustment to us brethren of the sleep porch. In the interim we'll try to survive these nights which put the Antarctic to shame. "School of Medicine Men Named," says a Kansan headline. How about a school for witches and snake-charmers? The present system of forcing the freshman to wear his cap has been proved a colossal failure. The names K, M, and N are known; K, men eight or twenty of them, I believe, and when these names were ridden at the football game yesterday, how many freshmen reported? Three hundred, approximately one-sixth effective. But there is no reason to believe that all of the freshmen who do not wear caps had their name turned in, so I tested them and found that one was one hundredth effective. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansan: 4 Piano, Dulce, Duo, Trios. Recently I advocated in this column a plan where freshmen would not be paddled if they did wear their cap, but only if they didn't. The question immediately arises, how could you then tell a freshman? Simple! By tagging the upperclassmen with a pep bag, they would become members of the Men's Student Council—and one who had the power to do something about it, too—was ridiculed and told that the present plan was better than mine.

LE VERNE HANNEKL, President Ancient Inventions for Telling Time Are Described to Mathematics Club If you want to know how the Greeks and Romans told time, ask Robb L. Scott, gr. of the mathematics department; if you do not believe him, ask "Time," Scott said at a meeting of the Mathematics club recently, "is an impression left by events that have transported" Scott talked on "Primitive Methods of, Measuring Time." The time pieces he described were unique and Roman in discovery methods to tell the time of day. "To start with," he said, "the Greeks and Romans divided the day into two parts. There were 12 hours for breakfast for eight hours, regardless of the season." "The length of a shadow cast by an upright rod was not measured; it was soon observed, however, that the length of the shadow was then increased. A sun-dial was then invented and set with the shaft pointing toward the North star. This shaft was movable so as to counteract the lengthening and decrease in the duration of the seasons of the year channeled. "The next invention" he continued, "was the water clock. The time was measured by the amount of water which dipped through a small opening in the receptacle holding the water. The water itself would keep accurate time, but the lengthening or shortening of the day the measure of the more water that clock spent in use. To remedy that a film was on the water. "A rod was inserted so as to point to marks on the side of the recollection. These marks were then graduated to represent the amount of the change of the seasons. There were 365 sets of marks to take care of this daily change. These methods of measuring time were used for centuries, varied, of course, with memorizing by the use of cards with candles, in places to place the heurs. "A most important step," Scott said, "was made with the advent of the resizing penumbra, an invention by one Galliano. The penumbra was used to keep a clock and that a seashell-dolum clock would not ill securely aboard a ship. Queen Anne of Great Britain, in about 1710 offered a reward for a clock that would tell time accurately in the pitching of the bent. An un-known inventor spent 40 years of his life perfecting such an instrument; his work was widely admired when the correct time after a wedge entered the Atlantic." Scott included in his lecture, the changes that the calendar has go through. The Greeks, he said, divide the year into 12 months, each month aentially having either 29 or 30 days. They soon found that they could make up for their overnight, a month of 22 days, added at the end of the first two w "The Remarks," he said, " did not this arrangement and divided the year into 365 days. When Jallon Caecom to the throne, his calculation showed a loss of some 80 days. I ordered that one year should have month of 80 days to make up for it. The day Caecom had been known as the 'Year of Confusion.' After that there was to be lean year every four years." "The modern calendar, called the Gregorian calendar after Pope Gregory, has leap years, but every centuries annual year which cannot be divided by 400 is not accepted as a year when the date is used. This is known as the erroneous, therefore, have the satisfaction of knowing that the date we made on Thursday will not come on Tuesday, for the present calendar will need no changing for at least 2500 years," Scott Radios Keep Drivers Awake Harford, Great (UIP)—A trucking concern here is installing radios in its long-distance trucks as an experiment in keeping the drivers from falling asleep.

They invite your most critical attention and an uncompromising comparison.And their advertisements, so to speak,say to their products:"We have introduced you to the public—now stand on your own merits." If the manufacturer and merchant did not have confidence in their wares, they would hesitate to call attention to them. For advertising rigidly tests the maker, the seller and the merchandise. In the long run, you can depend on the man who advertises, as well as on his product. That is one reason why people have found that it pays to read advertisements. It is through advertising that the excellent things of the world are brought to the attention of those who are seeking for the best and most economical way to spend their money. Read the advertisements. They are news.
