OPENING CLASSES SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 7. 1932 Second semester classes begin tomorrow. It can be said that they began Thursday or even Friday, but they begin in earnest tomorrow. The University is afflicted with a group that makes it impossible for new semester classes to accomplish anything for several days after the opening of the semester. This group habitually cut the first few classes of each new semester, during which time courses are outlined, names of textbooks given, introductory remarks made, and in all helpful hints given which make each course more easily and more profitably approached. This cutting of first classes is in itself not so bad. If the students are not interested that is their own affair. They are supposed to be past the high school age of careful supervision, rules, and restrictions. The evil in this practice is coupled with the generous spirit of professors toward their new classes. Perhaps this spirit wears off as the semester ages, but it is there to begin with. Each instructor wants his new class to get a good start in his course. A good start usually means a good finish with something accomplished. Therefore, in a magnanimous spirit brought on by seeing new faces and the possibility of a class actually interested, the professor carefully goes again through the remarks made the first day or so for the benefit of those who were absent. Thus the student who is conscientious in his class attendance must listen to the material he obtained some time before. A double hardship is worked upon him. He is prohibited from early progress in the course and at the same time must waste his time listening to a repetition of introductory remarks. When will instructors learn that the large number of cuts the first of the semester are not from any legitimate cause? When classes start go ahead from the opening day, students will attend the first period. When they know they will have missed something that they will not get just the same tomorrow, they will not cut opening periods. BRIDGE Where is the line of demaration? Where do cooks and society matrons meet on equal grounds in the still sanctuaries of private homes? Where do callage students and business men, believe it or not, get together? What is a prevalent cause of husband- and wife-murder in America? What is the excuse for the filling of about a column of space daily in nearly all of the big newspapers? The occasion for all of this, ladies and gentlemen, is the new variation of the old reliable Auction, modern, cut-throat Contract Auction. Into the office of the manager of the Union building strolled a student in search (so he said) of some darn thing to write an editorial about. Yeah, he was looking for some ideas . . . some actual conditions . . . something concrete . . . he was getting sort of fed up on Manchuria and the war of pigtails, tired of writing opinion of the folly of enrollment efforts and the problem of freshman insubordination. Went at least as good, just smitten into a good place, for as he settled back in a chair in the corner the parade started. (Does this sound like a fairy story?) Into the office came student after student in search of some exemption cards. They had first obtained the blue exemption card from the office of the men's student adviser in the administration building, and now they wanted the other exemption. (The first worth $1,50, the second worth $1.) Yes, in they streamed. (Smart people, these college students; walking a half mile was worth an extra dollar.) And as each exemption was handed out down went a reason on the filing record as to just why Student X and Y and Z wanted the Union Membership exemption. Some of the reasons were different, but it was a ten-to-one bet that it would be "No funds," or, sung in a different tune. "I'm financially embarrassed." (You know there is some rumor about a depression.) Others said "I have no time to participate." (Though I'm counting on using my room-mate's ticket on Wednesday nights, and of course I can read the magazines without a ticket.) One man submitted "Married—no time." (And the student in the corner leaned forward and arose from his chair—he had some facts.) But wait, children . . . just as he was going out, down the hall came a member of the men's student council. On he came, and with nary' a halting step walked he right up to the desk of the exemption clerk and masked right out for the exemption. "Not interested" was the reason. Now . . . really . . . he probably wasn't interested in the fact that last month the operating committee (which by the way is made up of eight students, three faculty members, three alumni and one member of the board of regents) bought 24 decks of cards, of which only three are left; he wasn't interested in the fact that the radio runs continually every day from the time the building opens at 6:30 in the morning until 10 at night; and yet he might have been interested enough to help pay for the privilege of the Men's Student Council meeting room there in the Union, (especially when the up-keep of that building depends entirely on the dollar that you and I pay for membership) don't you think? ENROLLMENT MADE EASY He should first read the rules. They are really quite simple, and the student will then know what he cannot do. Next he should fill out a class schedule for himself before enrollment time, instead of letting his adviser decide what he is to take. (Advisors usually don't know anyway.) There are certain things which the student must do for himself, however, if he is to make enrollment easy. There is a great cry raised every semester about the amount of work necessary in enrolling at the University. If students would go about enrolling as systematically as the college authorities plan the enrollment, most of this confusion would be eliminated. After these simple things are done the student is ready to present himself for enrollment, and the chances are that unless he is very late he will be able to go through the lines in thirty minutes or so. After all, enrollment is just what the student makes it. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXII, Sunday f. 7. 1922 No. 102 American Government 10A-83-110 Administration.

NELL, NEZAC, Custain Journalists are not only supposed but are expected to smoke, drink, swear, and above all to show no leaning whatsoever toward religion. Recently a faculty member wrote to a truly hard-boiled member of the American Press and asked him for the name of a book of Biblical quotations which could be used in the newspaper. The following was the reply: "I really don't see how a newspaper office can get along without the complete book, (referring to the Bible) with an adequate concordance, because so many Biblical references crop up every day wherever the English language is written or spoken. In newspaper work you can take liberties with a man's politics or his public or private character, or almost everything else except his religion, and to the vast majority of Americans the Bible is a religion and religion the Bible." This is not only one man's expression, but the public will go on, seeing all "journalists" as hard men with cigars clenched in their yellow teeth and their minds writing crime stories for the greedy public to devour. K. U. BAND While it is true that the practice takes time, there are few things as beneficial which take much less. And the privilege of working under the guidance of "Mac" is an additional advantage that should bring a host of recruits. Due to the failure of several band members to return to school the second semester there will undoubtedly be vacancies in the organization as announced recently by Professor J. C. McCanles, director. Each year more is said about school spirit, loyalty to the institution and love for the Alma dater. To be a member of the University band not only exresses all of these attributes, but another way of getting more of he training which is offered. A bill is being introduced in the legislature to close pool halls in all university towns in Kansas. Its purpose is to protect students from the temptation of loitering around pool halls and neglecting their studies. 15 On the Hill Years Ago Kansas met the first defeat of the season last night. The Angles upset all dope and defeated the Jayhawkers 32 to 29. Pref. L. E. Sisson checked the courses of one freshman a minute during enrollment day. His total was 480 during the 8 hours.

The Gamma Phi, however, are not celebrating Mother's Day. students have registered this year. This sets a new record attendance for the University.
