TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 1931 UNIVERSITY AT A GLANCH ings and graduation announcements go on display, the senior realizes abruptly that his college days are nearly ended. One looks back at what seems only yesterday when he donned the little blue cap of the freshman and wondered about the campus attempting to figure it all out; when he enrolled the first time and spent five hours in selecting three five-hour subjects; when he attended his first classes and tried to take down every word that the professor had said to many before h.m. At the same time he wondered how the sophomore who sat next to him, expected to make any kind of a grade when he slept all of the time. A full-fledged sophomore, he gladly left the ranks of the "fresh." In a way—his own way of thinking—he was king of the campus now; he was on the edge, rather than the center of a paddle line; he knew almost every girl who passed; he could tell a freshman which professors to enroll under, and which to avoid; all of the "pipe" courses were known to him, and he could tell others regarding term papers, finals and such important things. In addition, he was quite sure that he knew more than a lot of seniors who walked about, heads in the air, or sat dreaming in the library. In his junior year he was not quite sure of his reaction. He began to wonder if sophomores were not often a bit hasty in their judgment. Maybe there was more to life and education than that which appears on the surface. The view point of a senior was in the making, but it seemed too far away to be of much importance at the time. Then, he recalls, only a few months ago he was reaching for the top rung of the ladder. He had about reached that goal toward which he had been striving for many long, though now seemingly short, years. He was in the middle of everything really important that happened on the campus; he was regarded for what he was, a senior. But now, as the time grew shorter and graduation is about upon him, he again wonders what it is all about. He seems to be at the top, and yet he knows that in a few weeks he will be starting out on life's venture and he will be a freshman again—at the bottom. THAT BOB-TAILED ROBIN After receiving their A. B. degree some University students may find it difficult to learn the rest of the alphabet. The other day we locked out of the window, and what do you think we see? No, it wasn't a baby Austin, nor was it a short skirt, but a bob-tailed robot! Ever see a bob-tailed robot? They're certainly funny looking things. They look a whole lot like one of those little fox terriers who has had his tail cut off in his youth and wiggled so that the cutter almost sliced it in two. But this robin didn't seem to mind his appearance a bit. There he was out in the yard, with that "almost tall" sticking as straight in the air as he was able to stick it, and his head down close to the ground "listening" for worms. He'd stop every five minutes and look around at his tail with a depricating air, as much as to say: "Brother, I hate this as much as you do." Instead, he listened for worms, and every once in a while he would find one and haul him out by the tail with the air of having accomplished something. Pretty soon this bob-tailed robin flew off, and as far as we could see he flew just as well as any other robin, except that he might have had a slightly more raiski and jaunty attitude. Today we saw a fat, savve porly robin with a full red vest, trying to drag out a worm that was about a yard too long for him to handle. This particular bird worked for five minutes with that worm and finally gave up in disgust to go hunt for easier game. And come to think of it, this robin's tail was long and beautiful. Tomorrow we shall convey ourselves somehow to the Auditorium to hear the great Paderewski play. This is his last farewell tour in America and we venture to say that the crowd will be a large one—of varied interests and tastes. Although half of the audience may attend on the strength of Paderewski's flowing locks, it should be a grand program just the same. A DANGER SPOT While in its construction a hospital need not be a danger spot, but if the crushed rock pile is left in the circular drive near Blake hall without warning red lights the location of the new student infirmary will be one of the unsafe places on the campus. While it is not a habit for students and other people on the Hill to drive rapidly around this curve, there is a distinct danger for accident there. A few red lanterns might be set along the edge of the basement excavation, also, so that wandering students, and absent-minded professors would not be forced to run the risk of falling in each time they go walking in the evening. It is suggested that the size of University diploms be reduced. To the sheep raisers that will look like another farm relief measure. FALSE DOCTRINES It has been the procedure for the United States to pat herself on the back a nation inhabited by liberal-minded people. Her tolerance is unequaled by that of other nations. Personal freedom is allowed great away within her confines; for proof of her generosity she may see fit to go to arms as she did in the Spanish-American war. And while the United States and her citizens are cramming patriotism down the throats of youthful members of the race, and telling them how America is a land of the free and a home of the brave, one may read in the newspaper about this country's intervention in the political affairs of a small Central American state which, though it never can hope to make a noticeable scar on its oppression, still fights doggedly on. There is so much thing as a patriotic Nicaragua. Nor are they brave people within the little country; all its inhabitants are either bandits or renegade insurgents, if one is to believe the reports printed by American papers Nicaragua is incapable of self-government, and so the United States finds it necessary to intervene and point out the 'straight and narrow' for her. Although they are total strangers to the institutions of England and the United States, the citizens of the small state are expected to accept American traditions, to love them, enforce them, and, withal, to like them. No doubt this is an extension of a great favor on the part of the United States. Those occasional outbursts of Nicaragua temper one reads about are really nothing at all; all of it is probably due to just some petty trouble like, for instance, that ephemeral tax back in the eighteenth century of American colonial history, which although it caused a furry of excitement at first, later developed into nothing more than a Little Theater entertainment known as the Boston Teenery. Now that the battle is over, Joe College says that the theme song of the political parties was, "Oh Promise Me."

Second, what is a fair margin of profit for the shoe repair man? Considering the fact that heel taps are cut from scraps and that the shoe man probably has more scraps than he can use anyhow, the conclusion of bit of research is that the price of ladies' heel taps should be less, to be exact, considerably less. KANSAS LUCK A headline in Thursday's Kanan holdily attributes the increasing popularity of the Kanas Relays, in part at least, to the weather. What a grave error that writer committed! If the Relays are becoming more popular and better attended each year, it can't be attributed to the weather; it is just pure luck—Kansas kansas. Kansas affairs, such as the Relays, succeed for the same reasons that Kansens succeeded wherever they go. It is because they have plenty of gall and they get the breaks. It took lots of Jayhawker fortitude to write that headline last Thursday, right during an April storm which threatened to ruin the show on Saturday. But the writer trusted to luck and Kanaan got the breaks, as usual. Culled from a U. S. highway No. 40 sign near this college town: "Early to bed, early to rise, Was present for those old-fashioned guys." as meant for those old-fashioned *envs.*" LADIES' HEEL TAPS An individual found a woman's heel tap on the sidewalk the other day. Because it hardly showed in the finder's hand, it set him to thinking on the find from an economical standpoint. At present the price for the little bit of leather in ladies' heel taps, which are about the size of a nickel, three-fourths by seven-eights of an inch to be exact, is twenty-five cents. Some candidate who wishes to guarantee herself election to the W. S.G. A. next year might very well start a crusade to reduce the exorbitant price. In dealing with this problem all the marketing and labor problems should be considered. Economies are involved. How many cows does it take to make a heaf-tap; how many heaf taps can be made from one cow's hide? There no tellin', but anyone knows that plenty can be made. That disposes with the first question. ering the popular appeal that reduced prices always have it might be advisible to try it. DILEMMA Discouraged. Failure to secure an immediate job. No definite plans for the future. Inability to realize the intrinsic value of a college education. All of these various elements have placed members of our graduating class in a dilemma. What shall I do next? is asked over and over again. I've tried for a job here and a job there. What's he use? Four years gone by and nothing to show for it. I could have advanced myself further if I had gone to work in a practical field during that time. It would be of little value to reprimand members of the outgoing class or these thoughts. They are inexperienced in many cases as far as the practical world is concerned. They lived within their own little circles until they came to college, and have continued to live within another small circle through their college years. No feeling of depression has come over them until graduating time approaches, and then it strikes them with such a sadness that it almost impossible to fight off. Brace up. The four years at college haven't been wasted. If a college education were not commendable, why should so many men in a practical field today say: "The only reason I am neither here nor there is because I didn't take the advantage of a college education. My abilities are limited because my knowledge is limited." On the initiative. Initiative is the one thing above all others that should come from a college education. If a graduating student is waiting for some-body to come up and offer him a job, it is likely that he will be no better off four years from now than he is today. A person graduating from college has a background. He has some knowledge of the technical world. And he can gain prestige in the practical world only by showing courage to meet opposition and a willingness to overcome feelings of depression. Plain Tales IN CHARACTER The cast was rehearsing "Cock Robin" in Fraser theater, and Prof. Allen Crafton was running full speed ahead in his role of George McAuliffe, a hard-working English teacher of the English department happened to step inside the door. Astonished by the language she overheard, she hastily backed out and resumed her performance. "Do not see how those boys and girls put with such abuse," is really frightful."
