SUNDAY, MARCH 13, 1932 SENIOR CLASS SPIRIT The school spirit shown by this year's senior class, as evidenced by the first class meeting called Thursday evening, is practically null and void. Of course, the thirty-five of the thousand and some who are to receive degrees in the spring did manage to get out to the field and pass it on to view the fact that the first meeting last year drew even fewer senior-this year's group is to be congratulated. Perhaps they hired to more realizing that their graduations with the consequent sorrows and parting, is approaching. Again perhaps for the first time the announcement of the meeting brought to them the thoughts of graduation preparations and qualifications which in some cases would not be possible, probably the meeting merely promised to be not so interesting as some other entertainment. THEY'VE FOUND OUR RANGE Has four years of University life worm out the school spirit of this class, or is it merely necessary to into the sawing of things again? Too many sparsely attended matinees followed by equally unprofitable night performances have forced the price of theater tickets to a sensible level in Lawrence. But the theaters are well filled for each show. The new lower prices offer a temptation which students cannot resist. During the holidays many students went to homes located in towns much smaller than Lawrence and paid thirty-five cents to see shows that cost forty or fifty cents here. Whether or not they returned to the University, resolved to play backgammon, bridge or just twiddle their hands for hours, the asks asked by Lawrence theaters is not known. It is known that they did not go to the shows. HORSE-FEATHERS Nominations . . . elections . . . voting . . . returns . . . candidates . . . teas . . . agreements . . . NO campaigning . NO (?) combines . . . and the women of the Uni- versity. Whereupon the male population of the Hirl curves its upper lip and groans "Horse-feathers." Now "Horse-feathers" may not be a very nice word to be used in describing the annual W. S. G. A. election, its air of perfect democracy, and its purpose of real self government, but nevertheless that's what the men of the Hill say, so "Horse-feathers" it must be. Of course the rub seems to be that they, the male members on this campus of perfect student controlled government, can't realize that in nature the women's election has always been different from the era of dirt, scandal and campaigning which is annually conducted by their own two political parties. Oh yes! the W. S. G. A. election is much different. In the first place, according to the posters, the women's election was "their election," one in which the voter stood for fair play, for real student government, for a voice in the control of their own affairs. And right there, Mr. Male Student, is something significant. It just goes to prove that the election was one for the benefit of democracy. Yet, the last remains that on 321 women cast votes for the office of president of the council out of an approximate possible total of some 1250, while last spring at the men's election the poll for the office of president was 1834 out of an approximate total of 2300. For some reason or other the women of the Hill don't get the enjoyment out of election that men do. Maybe it is the absence of a foreboding shadow of a possible re-election? COATS OF MANY COLORS The appearance of engineers wearing black shirts gives a touch of distinction to a campus prone to bullying. They wear glasses with Greek letter hardware. This distinction in dress is followed by many colleges in the Big Six. At one university the seniors in the college of agriculture are known by their ten gallon hats, the engineers by bats rescuing the campaign head dress of the Northwest Mounted police. Here, as well as at other colleges, law students carry canes. We are in favor of more departments or schools acquiring some symbol of distinction in dress. It enables students to distinguish between members in their schools and those in other departments and gives them some degrees of unity which always follows accoument. It is possible that unified departments, pulling together under wise leadership, may establish traditions which will strengthen what is now a new Kansas spirit. ANGELIC AI And now Al Capone, having abandoned any idea of being pardoned should he find the Lindbergh baby, has determined to search for the child without hope of a reward. In fact, he has offered the government three proofs of his good intentions. First, he proposes to give a $200,000 bail; second, he promises to accompany him in the search; third and most touching of his proposals, he offers to place a younger brother in the jail during his own absence. That the renowned gangster should go to such limits to insure the safety of the Lone Eagle's son is a touching little story. And now we are wondering what Lindbergh will have to say on the matter. SOBERING YOUTH The economic condition of the country has had at least one good effect. The older generation have ceased telling us daily that we are going to the dogs, or that they just wonder where the younger generation is headed. They are beginning to question themselves a bit, and are wondering if they are on the right track. While they are bothering about themselves, we are setting down. At least, the once-popular vices of colleges are becoming the exceptional sins of the few. Drinking, the ever present topic for discussion, is losing its popularity in college, and is taking root in the high schools. Cocktails are beginning to lose the little lure they had for the college undergraduate, and his younger brother is bragging about how much hard liquor he can hold at one sitting. But, being optimistic, and not far removed from the high school age ourselves, we believe that this fad will pass. Perhaps a few parents will be heart-broken to find that Johnny knows the difference between alcohol and whisky, but then the parents must blame themselves, the home training and the boy's associates, with emphasis on the latter. Adjustments are bound to be made, and then the high school students will find the foolishness of his attempt to "play grown-up" by drinking all the liquid within his reach and will pass on his "sin" to the kid brother of grade school age. A special dispatch from the University of North Carolina contains the information that the school laundry washes over 11,000 shirts Then the nursery will have its "hey-hey" days and hangovers and then the "sin" of drinking will be disregarded, and no longer shall we have sin for sin's sake. LAUNDRY Why doesn't some University student get authorization from the Administration to operate a machine in the old Commons build-in here? There are several points favoring this proposition. Without a doubt, a University managed laureate would have something to about have at the campus. Think of the shirts and dresses that are in need of washing and which go uncleanned because of the high prices of local establishments. Think of the poor toiling backs of the folks at home who receive the weekly laundry bags from Johnnie and Susan. Then, too, a student laundry would create jobs for University unemployed. The pleasant sight of steam emanating from vents in the roof, chinking of the machinery, and shouts of the happy drivers as they back their heavily laden trucks up to the campus. The air is like city atmosphere to the campus. Of course, the symphony orchestra would have to find a new place to practice, but after all, it needs to be in the house where conversations are held. All in all, the factors favoring such an undertaking far outweigh those opposed to it. And furthermore, as a deciding factor of the outcome of an investigation, there would be one more function on the campus to investigate. 15 On the Hill Years Ago March 13. 1917 A graduate of the University, Walter E. Wilson, now senior in the Kansas State College, received the recent proceedings which resulted in the loss to the University of an increase of $15,000 a year in salaries. In October he wrote to President Obama today. "A University graduate cannot honorably put political expediency behind his commitment to仰 implantation that gave him his degree." If war would develop, Kansas would develop into a most popular visiting place for the Easterners. The Pi Upsalon fraternity will call at the Gamma Pi Beta house tomorrow from evening from 5 to 6 o'clock. Unless proper precautions are taken there may be danger of an epidemic resulting from the unintended coming to Dr. John Sundwall this morning. At present there is one case. The second number of the Sour Owl the humorous magazine issued three twos a year under the auspices of the Owls, junior honor society for men, will appear Friday morning of this week. Students are like automobiles. The one that has the least power often makes the most noise, and the ones with the most speed often have the least control.

LINDLEY OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXIX Sunday, March 13, 1932 No. 131 Notices due at Chancellor's office at 11:30 a.m. on regular afternoon publication days and 11:30 a.m. n.d. for Sunday issues. "Well, it's like this, you see. Your editor is a rich man and he must do more to protest his wealth. A certain part of his wealth was invested in Bone Persepois, who took the dog that was bit by the man. If the people of Porsepois were to know that the dog had been bit by the man, it would so damage his standing in the arena, that he would inevitably injured and his business would decrease, perhaps even fail. "This editor would certainly not wish to happen, for he too, as an investor in Bene Hiding Inc. would stand to lose his money. If the people were to fail, he would have lost a business which failed, and that he had trusted a dog that allowed himself to be bit by a man, his own reputation might suffer to the extent that you would no longer care to buy his papers, and thus his business also suffered. And the reason you had not heard the news that a man had bit a dog." Tessier a man in a dog. "What! You say you had not heard this news?" "But yes, I know. You are right. The public does have a right to know the news; but, my friend, consider a case where an official who happens, but that which is reported and thence printed, so that you and your friends may read it, that is the case that you should have had the dog bite the man; in that case no vested interest would have been involved and the news printed unharmed by any authority."
