THE LATEST CHANGE Tongues are wagging now! Announcement has just been made from the office of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences to the effect that seniors in the University will not be given the usual and customary privilege of enrolling early. Senior enrollments will take place on the first day of regular enrollment. THURSDAY, JANUARY 14, 1932 All of which will add to the general confusion always so evident during these "red-tape" periods. Students who are planning to graduate must, of necessity, be allowed to enroll in specific courses, since they have only one more semester in which to fill the various requirements. Instead of having time to talk their plans over with faculty, those hoping to receive their degree spring will be hurried hither and you in a wild attempt to get through before courses are closed. Persons with too much professional credit, and with too many hours in one group, will be bound to ship by the advisers, when there are so many people on the floor at one time. The administration will need it necessary to cut those credits that are supposed unofficial. To permit the seniors to enroll early would require more help in the College office. But this is a matter worthy of a little added expense and trouble. It means the end of a hectic career for the senior. Pray, let him finish in peace! The impending danger of governmental bureaucracy was pointed out by Merle Mare, editor of the Nation's Business, in a recent address. He estimated that 15 billions of the 70 billion dollar yearly income of this country is used to pay the costs of the 250,000 tax-gathering and tax-spending units. BUREAUCRACY We need a certain amount of governmental regulation, supervision, and service, however there is danger of too much being done in these lines of activity. When as Mr. Thorpe indicates, every act of an individual is regulated and he is told what to eat, wear, how to sleep, how to manage his business, and is given volumes of instruction about topics ranging from the idiocycracies of oysters and loyers to the operation of chain stores, it seems that our government does at times go beyond its justifiable and sane scope of operations. Not only do the myriad of bureaucats and political boards and commissions hamper the freedom of an individual, but at times they have a deading effect upon individual enterprise and initiative. These governmental activities are apt to increase taxes to a point where even the least stubborn of men may bulk and refuse to go any further. If the bureaus were all manned in the same manner managed, there might be some hope for the success of bureaucracy. At present there is much rubbish, duplication, inefficiency, and useless work that should be cleared away from our governmental shelve of activities. THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES Hanging over the student's head is a two-edge sword, suspended by a thread—the sword of finals. All too soon now that thread will break, pinning under it the luckless student who is unprepared, or getting go unscatched the equally lucky student who is prepared. But is it all a question of preparedness or unpreparedness? In the last few weeks of school a terrific strain is imposed on the student. Continual stress of worry have worn down his resistance. His concern about getting a grade bas left him unprepared for the final greater strain of undergoing the ordal of finals. Hence he is left stranded high and dry on a desert island—the island of the unknown; the island of flunk or pass. Is our present educational system justified in imposing such a strain on the student? Would it not be better for the professors to spend the last few weeks in preparing the student for the orderl of finals by intensive review, or would it be more effective effort to cover the required material which has been slighted in the first half of the course? They say that the student who is prepared has no fear of finals. Perhaps that is true, but the great rank and file of the seekers for knowledge in our colleges today are not such exceptions. They can see only the double edged sword. POLLYANNA We read with much glee about the forming of the Polly-anna Club in Missouri, with the requirements only to bring in one other member, and to kick any member who talks of hard times, the depression, or other woes. The club member is morally obligated to do this whether he be the minister, grocer, or bili collector. What the University needs is just such a club. It would greatly relieve most of the students to do away with the calamity howlers, or at least be able to take some revenge when they start to tell of their private depressions. The only trouble with the depression is that it isn't private enough, and it gets all the newspaper space. That's probably just why it has stayed with us so long, for anything once in the limelight is foath to relinquish the position. Think what fun it would be for the student member to be present when the Economics profs begin to worry about just where the world will land, or vice versa. The best part of all would be for the students who are looking for jobs. The more prospective employees into joining the club they would be assured of a job or else! THE OLD AND THE NEW Last evening a half-dozen students were gathered together with some violins and a piano playing and singing some of the songs from the book Columbus, Columbia, and Vallee. All of the same tuners received attention. Then a book published in 1861 was brought out. In it all were of the old favorites, "Janie With the Light Brown Hair," "Ben Bolt" and "Once Through Taru's Halls." and so forth. It was a great diversion. Laughing half dorsiflex, the students began to play and sing the songs. Were they shushy and ridiculous? Perhaps they were. But perhaps they had heard them sung when they were small children, or perhaps there is not so much difference between the old and the young. Short time they were singing with as much enthusiasm as they had the newer melodies, and probably with more enjoyment. Perhaps we are not so modern after all. The old songs do not seem so ridiculous when compared to our own. Let us hope that our sound is just seventy years from now as those of seventy years ago sound now. Jayhawks Flown --- James Force, former student in 1983, an insurance salesman of St. Louis, will leave for Hollywood, Calif., Jan. 15 to try his luck in the movies. His specs are based on the book he took the place of the late Lon Chaney. He is being financed by a group of friends in St. Louis, who will assure him that the month if he is successful within three months. The backers are to share in his earnings, receiving back their investments and also "dividends." When in school here James was active in many dramatic plays. Read the Kansan Want Ads. Our Contemporaries from the Syracuse Daily Orange: A REVERSION TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS Among other unnecessary things, the depression has promoted a springly combat, which is said to be chiefly women. Gone are the days when the campus sheikh could roll up to the door at a sorority house in two or three automobiles and collect the chapter or a round of high and mighty doings. --- Gold-digger too, are the times when the gold-digger could take root on a campus and flourish like a gorgeous panda. You can be very proud to a dance she may be thankful that her dessert has dog up the price of admission. Poor girls, they certainly are. In various co-educational universities throughout the country, there has been a tradition of returning to the women, or so it is rumored, to return to the exciting dates that mother used to anticipate. None other than the women who have returned, Rather than have no dates at all, they rationale, they will submit themselves to the ravages of this indoor sport. Read the Kansan Want Ads.
