Throughout the week, speeches, concerts and recitals will be given as part of the carefully arranged plans. Music Week was inaugurated in the University twelve years ago by Dean Swarthout and has been continued ever since. It is appropriately celebrated each year. The development of musical appreciation, the encouragement of the study of fine arts and the entertainment features of the week are all exceptionally noteworthy and interesting. University students and faculty, as well as towns-people, will have an unusual opportunity for musical diversion. DO WE WANT AN ENTERPRISE TICKET? The plan for this year's celebration indicate a continuance of the Music Week success of the past years. The lack of comment on the official announcement that the student enterprise ticket may not be offered next year is surprising in the face of the program attractions which are suggested. Such persons as Sir Normal Engell, S Parkes Cadman, Richard Hallhoun and others have been named as enterprise guests if sufficient interest is aroused among the students to warrant bringing them here. Students are inclined to take life today and let tomorrow take care of itself. It is quite probable that this attitude explains the lack of response on the subject of the enterprise program preparations. One is hesitant to assume that students are really not interested in the worthwhile events which make up the yearly enterprise program Should the present system be abolished, students would be forced to buy season tickets for each of the series of programs, and the admission price would necessarily be raised several times. The continuance or discontinuance of the enterprise ticket seems to hinge primarily on the question of student support. Whether we will avail ourselves of the lectures, concert, and play opportunities of next year at the reduction prices must be decided by us now. ON WRITING LETTERS Letters are funny things. They usually require no end of psychoanalytical work, the whole thing proving somebody's obvious statement of fact that a man's conversation and his correspondence unveil the two sides of him. Some bright student or professor should promote a class in letter writing. It is the most difficult form of writing, yet it is the only one omitted. Letter writing involves three as well as unsolved problems, the three being what to write, how long to wait before answering a letter received, and how long the letter should be. Some people have said that the best time to frame an answer is the moment a letter is received, the advantage being that the warmth and intelligence conveyed by it will most forcibly co-operate at this time. This is not advice for the love-lorn, however. It is quite tactless to answer a love letter quickly; it might arouse suspicion as to the designs of the writer, as well as make the designs quite fruitless. Incidentally, this is the only important factor involved in writing a love letter. As for the contents of it, one should begin without knowing what he means to say, and finish without knowing what he bus written. The suggestion for a class in letter writing is a serious appeal. The problems of letter writing are developing chronic injury in stud- THE LIBRARY BUGS The library, splendid structure though it is, is presenting a considerable hazard for a great many students these days. The library itself, of course, cannot be blamed. The fault lies among those who direct the use of its contents. Let us call them, without the slightest intention of disrespect and simply for want of something better. "i-library buses." Few professors can resist the temptations offered by the countless volumes of assembled erudition within the big Gothic building. The prospects there hold a strange fascination for them. Consequently, discretion often is surrendered to scholastic sense of honor, and the conscious student, as usual, suffers. Especially when the end of the semester looms meaningly ahead and work piles up on every side does the "library complex" develop. No course, these gentlemen feel, could possibly be complete without a term report. Supplementary reading also is spiced up, in some cases to an astonishing figure. One professor has thus far assigned ten complete books to be read and reported upon for his threes-hour class in addition to liberal doses from the textbook. The plight of some unfortunate who chance to be taking five courses from an instructor of such ambitions can easily be imagined. The gravity of the situation is recalled by the fate of the old professor in the introduction of Anatole France's "Penquin Island" who was suddenly engulfed and unceremoniously smothered in an avalanche of his assembled diet on overexercise under the sun. The value of supplementary reading can scarcely be overemphasized, but an enhanced perspective on the part of some professors in prescribing the medicine would sometimes bring much more effective results. Too often the prospect is so alarming that the student gives up the whole affair in disgust, and where this does not occur the top-heavy library burden usually results in haphazardly prepared work in every branch at a time when solid, concentrated study is most urgently needed. The last one o'clock party of the year is over. These remain only a few spring formals, a few last trips to the city, and then farewells. And interspersed with those remaining good times we must find a few hours for study, for notebooks and, before long, for final cramming. A YEAR FROM NOW Another year gone, we are wont to say, and shake our heads somewhat said. A few of us, of course, are glad it is spring and commencement time is approaching, are glad we're through school and ready to search out a job for ourselves; more of us are truly sorry that we are concluding many years of student experiences, and are none too anxious to make our own way in the world. What next year will bring is a potent question for most of us these days. Another year of college gone And with it go many memories, and out of it arise hopes and fears which only the future can settle. "Trout Call to Hoover" said Kansas City Star headline. We have heard them yellling at us. THESE HAPPY WRITERS From our little amateur experience we agree with Dorothy Parker that writing is hard work, but we have decided that if we were getting paid for it instead of paying for the privilege of doing it, and if some persons besides a few professors were reading our efforts, we wouldn't consider it such hard labor. And now Miss Parker comes along and in regular Theodore Dreiser or Sinclair Lewis style (if it is permissible to mention these two in the same sentence) shows that she is another dissatisfied, pessimistic writer. But Miss Parker goes further. She says she hates to write and only does it to keep the wolf from the door. Writing is hard work; it takes careful concentration, systematic organization, and natural ability, and then often it is a failure, but most persons who do it get great enjoyment from their efforts. Miss Parker hates writing so much that she would rather have babies. In this day and age that is really hiding writing. We can see a connection here in Miss Parker's reasoning, however, as babies are certainly no help in keeping the wolf from the door. Most well-known writers will agree with Miss Parker in not being satisfied with their efforts. If they were satisfied they wouldn't be well-known writers at least not for long. It is that way with everything. Dissatisfaction with one's efforts and determination to improve bring progress. Ambition dies when self-satisfaction becomes too apparent. OVERHEARD AT THE HOSPITAL —Oh, we were poor choosers and didn't get a single office—did the nurse say White? —Yes, ma'am —I'll be seeing you sometime. Number please—3063? No— 3063. Wait in the hall please— May I sit with you?—Do you have a cold too?—An infection of the ear? That might be serious you know that sometimes turns into mustache trouble—Did you read in the paper about the man who died of an infection of his hand?" Oh, I only have a cold. It is my first visit here. "Is it not a swell place?" Are they very rough? "You say you have been waiting ten minutes—Well, I just have to be home in twenty minutes. What did you think of the election last week?—Which party did your frat support? The above is a typical conversation which is heard at the student hospital during office hours. WOMEN. The twentieth century seems to be the woman's century. Since the beginning of time, men have had their chance to prove their ability at managing things. They haven't made such a bad job of it, but it's taken them an awfully long time to get where we are today. Women all over the world have decided that the first way to show that they can manage things is to get voting power. Only last week, thousands of Porto Rican women thronged to the registration offices preparing to cast their first ballot. They were more enthusiastic over this new power than over discussing the correct way to boil potatoes. It is only natural that the women would step in and start bossing now that the men have got a good start. Women all over the world are getting impatient. A start, even if it is a rather good one, isn't enough, considering that it has taken quite a few thousand years to get it. All over the world women are crying for their chance to show men. Note the fact that women are just starting, that they woke up in the twentieth century and decided that men weren't so infallible. Give them, oh, say twenty centuries, and we might have things running along pretty smoothly. A recent article in the New Republic tells how men at the Ford plant in Detroit were inspired to work faster—to become so office- WAGES AND WORK The band will meet at 7 o'clock sharp on the Administration building steps for the concert Tuesday evening.

PI SIGMA ALPHA: Another Ouack Will Get the Business And two more deaths are chalked to "legal operations." Our Contemporaries WOMEN'S PAN-HELLENIC: ient that in place of managing one machine they managed four, threw three men out of work, and got only slight increase in wages. When the slump came, wages were cut and each man was compelled to continue doing the work of four men at a lower wage than one man had formerly received. Employers have worked with the idea of getting the most work done for the least wage. When will labor get the idea of doing the least work for the greatest wage? Shouldn't it work both ways? An investigation will be held, an unlicensed practitioner may be caught and punished and the ultimate result—an another quick will get the business. Reputable physicians cannot attend cases of this nature—they are not able even to give out knowledge of birth control because it isn't legal. And since the law is law—fourth rate practitioners cap the profits. Laws follow civilization—but frequently too far behind. Inasmuch as abortions have become inevitable in the past, we should not why the law should refuse to recognize them. Then, at least, the operations would be in qualified hands. Closing one's eyes to the evil cannot eliminate it. Such a course merely involves making an illegal hand. As long as this is true, hospitals must continue to give out reports: "Cause of death—general secalion." Moralizing can't help; legalization BLOOMERS The Oklahoma Daily Every afternoon at the stroke of four, the athletics included coeds trip out to the University and up into the of the Commerce building, in their lovely, billowy, blighted bloomers. We said that they trugged; we realize that billowy, blighted bloomers call for just a few. These cumbersome looking affairs would make one with an aesthetic type of mind turn away with closed eyes. And then, the antics of these frighten you. You are much amusement to one with a reallistic make-up. The latter would have to wait a fairly long time for one of the athletes to perform notably on the field of sport, or at least until some non-athlete should be granted the female aperturers. Send the Daily Kansan home. Picteted, black, bloom bloomers are as obeseate as stockings in a swimming pool. Bloomers make an otherwise charming creature as pulchritidous as the average May queen. Helen of Troy blooms—and so do most of our needs. Indeed, one of the most important functions of the women students is to be beautiful. At no time should a lady's charm be sacrificed to her education, especially when she is required to animate such a costume. Daily North-western. TAXI 25c Plymouth and Chrysler Cars E. B.
