WELCOME!
The spirit of hospitality is very prevalent upon the campus and the surrounding centers of student activity, both to new and old Jay-hawkers alike. It is good and wholesome and real. It is a living thing. And each new arrival agrees that it is great to be back for another year or to be present for the first time.
Paternity and sorority houses present a neat and inviting appearance. The campus is indeed changed with the new walk in front of Snow Hall and the addition of an inside fire escape to the north end of Fraser hall. All is in readiness for another year of school.
Yesterday, rush week started and hundreds of young men and young women arrived for the three days of hurley-barley confusion to the rushed and the tiring but necessary grind to the rushers. Monday marks the day of registration. Another school year is nearly started. Another milestone has been ruined in the life of the University of Kaina.
The first week of college life is thrilling and very enjoyable. It is these moments of relaxation that form the lasting memories. But like a fast friendship, one learns to appreciate the University and its life more and more as he becomes a part of it, tasting both of the bitter and the sweet.
"A 7-Room House Is Stolen from Kansas City Site"—headline in the Kansas City Star. Evidently the Thetas were serious when they announced that they would build a new home soon.
So, without formality, the Kansas welcomes both returning and new students alike to Mount Oreden. It's going to be a great year in spite of the depression.
UNEVEN ODDS
This year many school children are fighting against greater odds than ever before. Not only are many attending school without proper clothing, but a great number are hungry. Normal school work cannot be done on an empty stomach. The gnawing pain of a little body crying for food drives out all thought of learning the arithmetic tables.
Grade school teachers report that many students are living on watermelons and potatoes. Watermelons may taste very nice, but it is lacking in food value. A steady diet of potatoes will break down the health of a youngster. Schools are considering serving soup to the students in the mornings. However, all the burden should not be laid on the backs of the schools.
We, the older people, should lend a hand in the fight to give the youngsters an education. In Wichita the families who are financially able are playing god-parents to the children. Children are being given school books and school clothes so that they can attend school.
Simile of the day: As welcome as a rushee.
There is, to our knowledge, no organized plan in Lawrence to help the school children in this manner. Why not step in and give a future University student a little help now when he or she needs it clearly?

SOUR OWL FLIES AGAIN
The Sour Owl, has been vindicated. Once more its screech will greet students coming on the Hill. From many points along the campus it will beg to be taken home and read. Its name has been cleared and it again will be known as the official humor publication of the University of Kansas.
A new lock will have to be placed on the office so that the dozen or more keys scattered throughout Missouri and Kansas cannot be used again. But that is a small difficulty. It can be remedied soon. The Sour Owl is ready for another year on Mount Oread. The Owl is a great old bird and its first screech of the fall will be awaited by many.
It certainly is terrible. The kind old "fathers of the city" have grown gray tussle with it. Their night's rest is a thing of the past. They must be busy twenty-four hours of the day with the unemployment situation or wrestling with the problem of reducing taxes and expenses.
At last a good word can be said for the depression. It has created work for the fraternities and sororities.
THIS DEPRESSION!
They rush from a meeting to provide more employment at public expense to a conference on reduction of taxes and from there to a luncheon where the curtailment of expenses is discussed. It is just one round of conferences. No wonder they are tiring and ageing rudely.
A new public work is authorized. It creates employment for several men. A very fine thing, so the fortune who are hired for the job say, but old John Public, who pays the bills, is emphatically against the project. But if our government is to continue to take over more and more public services, then old John must pay the bills quietly.
it all works in a circle. What is wrong is that we of the younger generation have never known a life, except one of increasing plenty. Today when a workman comes to work, he drives his own
car, probably more or less ancient but nevertheless it belongs to him. He smokes "tailor-made" cigarettes; works in his discarded "Sunday best" clothes; has modern tools with which to perform his labors and in the evening of course, he goes on an adventure for another afterward.
Our fathers walked to work; wore the same clothes both Sunday and on work days; went home to do the evening chores and then to bed. They worked so hard that their off-spring would not have to suffer the same hardships that they went through. And they were successful.
Even in this terrible depression, we still have our cars, our homes, most of us have jobs, schools are still open, and the theaters are showing a profit in spite of the supposedly wretched times. We know nothing of the period of our fathers.
We will show improvement. In a few years we will be climbing
from this plane of normalcy back to another prosperity era. In the meantime we must pay the fiddler for we already have enjoyed the music.
