FRIDAY, MARCH 4. 1932 TEN CENT ORCHIDS Class distinctions are becoming things of the past. One used to know the wealthy man by his tailored clothes, his limousine and the other luxuries which only he could afford. But now his clothes are copied overnight by the 185s shops. Inexpensive cars are being made longer and 'swankier'. And now there has been discovered a new way of raising orchids so that they may be sold for a dollar a dozen. Superintendent Lambert of the University of Pennsylvania Botanical gardens says that in four or five years the market will be flooded, and the badge of luxury will become the possession of everyone. This new discovery not only provides for a very simple reason of growing the plants in peat, watering them once a week, while keeping them in moderate sunshine, but also promises to produce many new varieties. These promise to be in yellow, orange, brown, green and red. So now that we have orchids under control, or at least will have the production increased by millions within the coming five years we need some means of production a synthetic mink. Then my lady of the factory may arrive for her work on a Monday morna in a limousine by Ford, wearing a $15 Paris model, a luxurious mint coat, adorned with a generous bouquet of fresh orchids. And thus our civilization marches forwards. COLLEGE SPIRIT I believe downtown quarter-backs have been too harshly criticised, the Shorn Soph, because yesterday I observed a young man raking the city park and a neat cardboard sign on a tree above him which said: Student At Work. Is there such a thing as college spirit? We all are inclined to smile derisively when we read or hear the words, and most college students laugh scornfully and hiss lustily at all moving pictures displaying, in exaggerated degrees of course, the quality which is supposed to be characteristic of American college life. Yet as graduation comes nearer and nearer the senior is not so skeptical. Spring-like weather of the past few days is especially conducive to sentimental thoughts of the alma mater. The senior has had more than his share of moments when he thought he would never miss Mount Oread; when he was anxious to begin his world-starting fire; when this thing called college spirit was only a joke invented by a clever novelist or phwyright. Yes, the senior begins in the spring to recount in his mind some of the pleasures of the past four years which his school has made possible for him. He begins to regret his selfishness in not admitting his enjoyments. He is sorry that he has not made the most of his Friends seem more worried while and more fasting as the time for breaking them up, perhaps forever, draws nearer and nearer. The senior begins to compare the value of the friends which he has cultivated during his college days. He begins to grow more proud each day of the number of times he can speak to an acquaintance or to a close friend as he walks down the campus. And as he sits alone he wonders what has become of those, with whom he became acquaintance in his first year or so in school, who dropped out along the way. To stumble on these old acquaintances in some out-of-the-way spot is the hope of every senior. As friendships seem finer so also do the favorite spots of the campus grow more beautiful as the time to leave them approaches. Potter's Lake, Marvin Grove, the Rock Chalk cairn, and the walk up the hill from the stadium, all of these seems to shadowthe so-called beauty spots of all other schools. For the first time the senior realizes that no other campus can compare to that of his school, and no other college can come up to the aims and attainments of his own. College spirit! Of course there is such a thing, but it is not demonstrated today by knockdown and dragout class fights. The college student has become so disgusted with being painted as a raybah boy that he has gone the other extreme, and, until he realizes he is almost ready to leave school, he kids himself that college spirit is a hoax, an out-of-date tradition of other days. Not only the expensive salon where she bought clothes during prosperity but also her skill with a needle is revealed, observes the Shorn Soph, when a university woman drapes her coat over a chair carefully exposing the label. YOUNGSTERS Well, whether it is a publicity stunt this year like the annual stunts of other years, or whether it is just somebody's idea of having a lot of rip-roaring fun, no one knows, but it looks like a lot of anime foolishness to us. Yeah, you guessed it. Somebody under cover of the night transferred the city dump yard from down by the creek to a temporary resting place in the front yard of a certain sorority which is beginning to wonder if this is a part of some fraternity's annual celebration of founder's day or just the carrying on of a bunch of college men. Must we tell who? At any rate, to ring doorbellies and soap windows and tear down gates used to be a big part of those unrepeatable days when we were kids, but for a bunch of supposedly grown-up college students to continue to do so—well, it's still being young. Not that the instigators of last night's deviltry are the only ones. No! We're all guilty in one way or another. There are times when all of us grew weary of sorenades, picture shows and poker games, times when we feel like raising hell, but one would think that we could at least act as if we were older than age five. DIAMONDS Just take a glance in any edition now and you're sure to find a column or more about diamonds. It's getting about that time of year, and the news comes in an increasing amount every day. It's the news of the day for lots and lots of diamond fans. All the romance of the warm sunny south is written between the lines of these diamond dispatches from St. Petersburg, Fort Myers, Winter Haven and Tampa down in Florida, and from Santa Catalina Island off the coast of California. There's something about it all that gives a fellow confidence in his belief that all is right with the world and that may be this old snap, will soon be over. Yes, sir! It's the news of the day or lots of us—the diamond news on the spring training camps. There goes the sleeping porch door, and one more boy has left the sold for a warm room. First, it's the door of his room and then it's the bathroom door, and the mad frantic rush to make that class is on. DOORS Slam! Slam! Slam! With three lusty, and wall-wreaking bangs he announces his exit from the house and his entrance into the garage and then the car. Slam! Slam! The car's parked and the glass strained almost to the breaking point as the door slams and he was on his way. Slam! But no more slams now, for the university architects have seen to it that most of the doors in campus buildings case slowly shut without that slam-bang racket that marks the coming and going of the average student. Slam! Booming cannon deafened the world to the wall of India led by Candh) who disappeared from the front page of the newspapers as quickly as he might disrobе. Isn't it getting to be sort of a bad habit, though? STILL A PICKLE JADE Then when war was at its biosdiest, it slipped off the front page to make room for a 20-months-old baby named Lindbergh from Hopewell, N.J. About twenty-five women on the campus have received letters from the Kansas Association of Deans of Women containing two discussion subjects and asking that they be answered and left unsigned on the enclosed sheets of paper. Said the instructions, "If you cannot say all you wish on the two pages, write on both sides of the sheet." All of which is enough to con vince us that fame is a fickle jade. The discussion statements are as follows: AN INVESTIGATION PURSUED 1. What I desire in a dean of women. 2. What my dean of women does that I do not like. Can it be that the Kansas deans of women feel that they are being neglected? WE SHOULD WORRY Hurrah! At last we have found out the reason for our furrowed brows, and it is not worry, according to Mme Renna beauty expert After all these years we read that "persons who haven't anything to keep their muscles or occupiesed," find wrinkles beginning to form as a result. That, ladies and gentlemen, is why you have them. So go ahead and worry; it won't worm your looks. "Uncle Jimmy" Day—the day upon which the University Laws honor their "Uncle Jimmy" Green—will come April 25. The event will be held at the Eldridge House 15 On the Hill Years Ago At the University of Indiana, 30 students carried petitions bearing 1,270 names to the state senate, supporting the "Dry Measure."

Sixty-three members of the faculty of the University telegraphed to President Wilson their support on any measure they deserve the honor of the United States. The student who sits on the back seat in class will occupy that seat all his life. Two fast boxing matches and two good entertainers furnished plenty of fun and excitement for 150 men at the club. *Stag social in Miyama Hall last night.* GRADUATE CLUB: Don't forget the party at 8:30 at Westminster hall tonight.
