Box 3952, Kazan, Tatarstan, entitled "second class must master September, and date of March 18, 1879." SUNDAY. APRIL 19, 1931 KANSAS. THE CHILD Only a few decades past such a sight would no doubt have caused a flurry of excitement. There were no motor-driven conveyances then, and, if there had been, it is safe to say that the red man would have halked as a passenger. Nor was there a University at that time; Ml. Orcad was a barren hill overlooking the surrounding valleys of eastern Kansas. Indians drank from clear streams and sighted buffalo from the vantage point that this Hill afforded. The transition over ruch a short span of years could have happened, of course, only in a state as young and rapidly developed as is Kansas. A crew of educated seniors will be elevated to the rank of graduates within a few months. But it will only take a few days for a business executive to lower many of them to the rank of office "thunkers." COLLEGE: AN ENIGMA The men wear twenty-two inch bottoms, drink liquid straight, score touchdowns in the afternoon, sing at musical comedies in the evenings and visit the widow after the show. The women go around in a minimum of clothes, with a maximum of bracelets, smoke two packs a day and are willing victims of a petting party with the approach of every sunrise. There is only one respectable man in college and he is the hero of the football team and the musical comedy. The only decent woman in college falls in love with the hero. The rest of the women fall into the category of "ribs," "bags," "breads," and "gold-diggers." All other men students are "easy marks," "tight wads," "soft soaps," "deated dates," "poor neckers," "impossible," and "mistifies." That is true college life to many high school students; a distorted viewpoint gained from the movies, magazines and other publications which treat college as a four-year world of fast, innate life. According to this view, studies to the high school student must surely mean something foreign to college activity. To him it must seem, studies must not interfere with a college education. The books are sure issuees. He who studies too deligently will flunk his social exam, and goodness! This catastrophe must never befall the up-and-going student. Yes, college to many high school students is an enigma. The unsolved谜题: How can the large number of college students participate in such activity with such a small number of nervous breakdown? LANDLADIES AND WOMEN CLIENTELE Despite the emancipation of women through the Nineteenth amendment, and despite much literature here of late describing man as a object and secondary to the alleged weaker sex, the rooming problem is much more easily solved for men than for women. Few landlades in college towns prefer to shelter girls; school regulations for women are stricter; women are forever washing a pair of hosse, or some lace geegeg, and hanging it in curious places to dry; they spill powder on the floor, and it is rumored that the evil nicotine, since it has been taken up so thoroughly by them, has not added to the immaculateness of our lady's boudoir. Moreover, the various school laws concerning closing hours for women force the landlady to eject young fellows from her parlor at hours that are not always regarded as propious and gallant by the younger generation. Almost every landlord knows that the beau will grumble once he is on the sidewalk, and that the thoughts to which he will give reflection are not complimentary to her in her chaperone. It is an old adage that man has always regarded woman as a problem; in the case of the landlads, women regard their own sex in the same manner. Insurance statistics point out that riding a train is safer than playing golf. The man who figured out that probably was a ping-pong enthusiast who had never ridden on a branch line of the Katy. BOYHOOD DAYS Members of the Knothole Gang sometimes found it to their advantage to leave their sandpit baseball. They peddled手篮 for a few pennies—other working for Old Man Jenkins’ "Stable Grocery" sale, or for Si Allen, the photographer who made stamp prints for fifteen cents a dozen. If the boys weren't too hungry, they preferred the photo shop to the grocery store as a hang-out. There was a sense of mystery about it all—how old Man Allen told one to "Watch the birdie," meaning the camera's eye, and then produced from the dark room the interesting likenesses of all the boys. Occasionally one of the boys would get up enough "sand" to brave the sarcasm of others; he would bring his best girl in and have Old Man Allen take their niecites together. In return for his favors to the gang the photographer had the boys peddle handbills telling of bargain photo offers, "coupon - good - for - one - week only." It was easy money for almost all, but there were a few disadvantages. For instance, there was the West-End gang, a tough lot of youths, slightly older than the Knothe Gang. But the worst of all was the Connors Gang, led by "Bud" Connors himself, a striking who, it was rumored, to report weekly to the juvenile court, because he once broken into a box car in the Katy yards. The Connors gang was a fighting aggregation; stories of their ambitions of other boys' outfits in the community were always being circulated. They existed for one purpose alone—to keep others out of their territory on the South Side. Members of the Knothe Gang were never perturbed over a handball expedition if "Hank" Green accompanied them. "Hank," large of bone, but not so good in school, always went along if invited by the boys. And he usually was asked when the boys found that Old Man Allen was sending them into the Connors' territory. "Bud" Connors dared not start trouble with "Hank," for he was no match for the huge lad. Once, because of the insistence of "Stubby" Ross, the boys attempted an invasion into Connors' territory without the physical assurance of "Hank." The latter wasn't obtainable; he had gone to the Springs on a vacation with his folks. All went well for a while. The bills were distributed and the boys had started silently back to their own part of the community when, rounding a corner the gang came face to face with the Connors' pack of bullies. The Knothole club took to its beels, its members all running down a nearby alley. It turned out that the alley was a prison—a blind one. Some escaped temporarily, through neighboring yards, but all save "Stubby" eventually were caught up with and administered to by Connors' roughnecks. As for "Stubby," the sole survivor, that clever lad came out unscathed. He had remained hidden for six hours in a garbage can until the friendly cover of darkness assured his safe delivery. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXIV. Sunday, April 19, 1921 No. 157 International Home renovation will be held Monday, April 20 at 10 cckle in the University Auditorium. Mr. Victor Mardock, of the Watchtown Eagle, will be present. COLLEGE FACULTY MEETING: ALL-UNIVERSITY CONVOCATION: The faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will meet on Tues. day, April 21, at 436, in the auditorium on the third floor of the Administrator's Building. OUR FRIENDS AND WAY TO CLOSE: The Moon Forum and Why did he meet the meeting for Thursday has been cancelled because of the illness of Dr. E. Guy Caullhill, of Denver, the speaker. Neither of the groups will most again this year save for special speakers. NOON FORUM AND WHY CLUBS BURIED TREASURE A firm of building contractors is to start work soon—not on a new building, but actually digging for treasure believed to have been buried by Captain Kidd on Oak Island off the Nova Scotia coast. The new hunt is different. It is to be a digging on another part of the Atlantic coast of this country. New places to hunt for Captain Kidd's treasure are getting scarce. People who look for treasure should at least be those who do not have to look for it. Otherwise, it is a waste of time, for they could be roping rewards in more worthwhile pursuits. Moreover, it is disappointing. Few treasures are found, because, in our opinion, there have been few treasures ever buried. We sometimes become skeptical of the amount of treasure that ever was the lot of Algerian, American, or British pirates, too. Surely they can't begin to compare with our present Al Capones. They were hard put, these pirates of a former day, to remain out of the clutches of the law. Because of that fact, they haven't a sailorman's chance to amass the fortunes that rocketeers and pirates have nowadays. GWEN M. PAUL, Chairman.
