FUTILE PROFESSORS
"But if it were true that that which is true is true, it could not be false that that which is false is false.
"Hence, were it true that this is false, it could be false that it is true, and yet this could be false."
Thus, enlighteningly, does Professor Mortimer Adler of the psychology department of the University of Chicago explain a book of so-called psychological drawings penned by Mrs. R. M. Hutchins, wife of the president of the same university.
But purchasers of the book found it, as difficult to interpret the professor's free verse as it was to find any sense in the nude female figures of Mrs. Hutchins' work.
Advisable is it as is for university professors to have a lofty and super-worldly point of view at times, we are glad that no one on the University faculty as yet is so other-worldly as to necessitate the use of special interpreters to interpret their interpretations.
TIME AND TIME AGAIN
Time and time again. It's an ever present problem, this thing of time. Every day has only twenty-four hours; and the student finds that that isn't long enough for him.
One freshman on the Hill has it all figured out. If she would give herself fifteen minutes a day for meals and three hours for sleep, and a day of twenty-eight hours, she would have enough time to get all of her studying done, but then of course there is recreation.
It really is quite a problem. Should the student go to class, study as long as possible, then go to bed to get the required number of hours of sleep? Or should he study a little and also take part in some of the activities on the Hill but still get his sleep? Or should he try to get all of his studying and activities in and forget about sleep? It isn't possible to go to class, study enough, indulge in recreation, and sleep. Every student must budget his time and figure out which item is least important to him.
Some leave out the sleep, some cut classes, some don't study, and others never have any fun. Take your choice.
MOODS
"I ought to write that paper this afternoon, but, you know. I just can't do a thing unless I'm in the right, mood."
This is a deucely fine excuse to set a student's mind at ease when he does something other than getting his lessons. But, alas, it has the bad quality of losing its effectiveness the minute it is tried on an instructor.
Mood-waiting is not a characteristic of collegians only. Many persons wait hours for the appropriate temper of mind for beginning a task to descent upon them, as if it were a gift that the gods alone could bestow. A few minutes of personal effort will put to shame all the gods in the universe in this matter of obtaining the right mood.
THE NEW A.W.O.L. RULE
Students in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will not be asked to present official absence cards to their instructors this year, according to a recent announcement.
In past years an absence file has been kept in the office of the dean and students have been required to bring written excuses to his office to obtain an excuse. Owing to the fact that this system of keeping a record of absences has become a financial burden, it has been discontinued.
The *e* immediate reaction by many of the students affected by the new rule is that now they are free to go to classes only when it suits their convenience. The fallacy of this belief is that records of absences are still kept, and that explanations for absences must now be made directly to the instructor.
The inauguration of this new system is likely to have some effect upon class attendance, and the grades at the end of the semester should indicate the more conscientious and interested students.
The Campus Problems speaking contest has been set for November 15. Let's see, a few of the topics might be history, philosophy, mathematics and economics.
PROLONGED ASSIGNMENTS
PROLONGED ASSIGNMENTS
"He took half the hour making the assignment."
"Yes, and he repeats the same thing over and over again."
And there is the story of the instructor who insists on making prolonged assignments. A few give out, at the first of the year, a complete list of the assignments, for both the text and outside readings. Then if it is necessary at any time they can quickly call attention to particular assignments. In some courses it is necessary to make individual assignments and in such cases this plan would not work. But it would be a good idea for the instructors to consider the system, and, if they don't approve it, at least try to find some way to avoid waiting time with that long drawn out assignment.
Campus Opinion
---
Editor Daily Kansan:
Handball has greatly increased in popularity among the men students and faculty members on our campus during the last few years.
The need for more court space was felt several years ago, and the space once taken by the wrestling squad and candidates in the gym was converted
atto single and two-wheelers, but were built south of the gym. Four of these were roofted over, and four were left open, so that those wishing to play tennis had to use a ramp.
The floors of the open courts are rattled and warped; the boards on the walls are loose and the window glasses are broken and the doors have latches on
Since the University has done away with compulsory exercise classes and has concentrated its energies on the more enjoyable and less expensive intramural matchings of sports, those students who are hard at finding it hard to locate unoccupied four-walled courts that in good enough condition to play on.
The rooftop court floors are covered with dirt; a number of the light bulbs have been burnt out for a long time; the roof leaks, and the floors and walls
It appears that the popularity of this sport warrants some consideration and that the large holes in the court floors could at the least be repaired and with eight windows, many players have to wait their turns to play - SS.

How often it is that controversies are concluded with the discovery that the disputants are individually employing incompatible terms. But more often, controversies are unduly prolonged because this discovery is never made, because the disputants never realize that a disarrayment exists between their respective conceptions of the subject of debate.

LAURENCE WHITE.
One of the things that journalism department at K. S. C. is rightfully of the fact that never in its history has its faculty attempted to control the Collegian, the student bi-weekly. That tradition has not always been easy to maintain there, because criticism of the department and the college for not quashing this or that story. But every administration of this college since the establishment of journalism sources in 1911 has supported at times tolerated a free college press. It has sometimes been an experiment at its worst as its best, it has been a successful full experiment. It has given under-graduate newspaper writer a sense of self assurance and it has helped the administration of the college since the confidence and hold the loyalty of student bodies, for it has instituted as people. And, best all, our free press has guaranteed to us an almost uniformly well written, original, and stimulating paper.
To illustrate: There is a certain ancient quarrel, between the attackers and the defenders of liberality, that will never be resolved because of it.

--confusion among the contenders of the terms "liberalism" and "radicalism." According to a reliable lexicographer, liberalism is "the quality of being open-minded or benevolent, the principles or theories of one who advocates freedom of thought or religion, politics, or belief that sense. These are amendments to the Constitution of the United States are a nuance of liberalism.
Rationalism, on the other hand, is defined as "advocacy of revolutionary changes in laws and methods of government, with a view to remedying social injustice." A active principle, while liberalism is passive, mental attitude.
The two terms are incomparable and so are undecidable. Unless this fact is recognized, bitter battles will continually be fought on these really irreconcilable promises . E.C.D. - Daily Tar Hotel.
Sez the Editors
The dear old depression has so viec itself on the University of Kansas that only one out of every five students own an automobile. We shudder to think of the rude awakening of three creeper boys and girls. Once one's daughn is withdrawn from their pocket-books, most of them will be sitting around trying to figure out how to make a down payment on a book of linen.

The University Daily Kansan and E. Kelley pick fun at a fat student who used the word "clumb" as the past tense of climb. And why not clump? It is shorter than "clumbed", is easy to understand, and allows all right to use it.

After College WHAT?
Engineering?
Harry D. Watts, V. P. of James Stewart, C.S.C., builders in New York City, says "World progress depends upon engineers. No wonder this profession. But to succeed you must have a technical background, ability to take advantage of the breaks."
"ABILITY to take the knaces." And yet brain tears cover above all. That's why in engineering, as in college, a pipe is the favorite smoke. A pipefit of good old Edgeworth Smoking Tobacco clears the brain for those intensive problems that confront the engineer . . . or the college man.
Of course most college men know Edgeworth. They like its distinctive flavor that comes only from this blend of fine old burlesy. Perhaps you'd like to cry before you're gone, like in Co. Go., 3 s2d. S2d. Richmond, Vau. and you'll get a free sample package of Edgeworth.
*A recent investigation showed Edgeworth the city where a girl was tortured.*
