SUNDAY, MARCH 1, 1931 FUTILITY OF LIVING When you begin to bebell the futility of the collegian, you expose yourself to both controversy and falacious maligning. No abaract quality lends its entangled套 so readily to deriving comment, for furfiltit strays away glamour and bares the raw flesh to the stab of a cynical tongue. The dogma of living, apparently, couches its material underpinnings in other stuff beside that momentous factor which demands that you consider the inevitable question, "What is the eventual wav of all flesh?" Knock lose the haulod legs such as romance, adventure, and their kindred, and consider the dogma balanced on that one unsteady foot of futility, and you know the situation has become precarious. Religions, politics, luxuries, miniature golf, spiked beer, and professional baseball were invented to circumvent the futility phase of living how well they have succeeded depends on the glamour you attach to them. Lives, we have found, are rarely tranquil and smooth, nor are they always purposeful. It is best in ordinary circumstances to regard them most casual; in all of them there are muscular little fingers pointing toward the futility of your own existence. CAMPUS PARKING ZONES A proposal for zoning the campus into three divisions is now before the Men's Student Council. It has once been rejected by the W. S. G. A. because of a provision to too severe punishment for obtaining a K U. tag by fraudulent means. Of this one failure, the men will be helpful. It has not yet come up for its third reading before the Men's Student Council. There are objections which it seems are of less importance than the benefits of the scheme. They are that students would be zoned so that they would have to do more walking, and that there would be increased litigation in granting the tags. It is thought that in some cases late corners would have no place to park, since they could not drive from one zone to another and so the number of Hill cars would have to be decreased. The good which could come from the rule is the relief of congestion between classes, and the added ease with which late comers could park. The possibility that there might be a greater number of K. U. tags issued is seen also. Some of these arguments present actual difficulties, and some of them superficial. If most of four thousand students can walk up the Hill, it seems entirely reasonable that the few who drive cars could walk from one end of the campus to the other. There are only a few who would have to be granted special permits for physical disability. There is no reason to expect additional trouble in granting the tags or putting the rule into effect. DROUGHT Malcolm Cowley's article on the drought areas that appears in this week's issue of the New Republic is a disturbing picture of poverty-striken sections. The hardest-hit people were not the poor; it was the richer owners who lost. The poorer people already knew hardships, and when the additional burdens came, they merely tightened a little up more. But progressive farmers, with modern methods, blooded cattle, new machinery, and often notes to meet at the farm-loan bank, know disaster now, and many well-equipped farms are being abandoned in the face of the two-edged evil, drought and business depression. THE FLY Now that spring is coming let us consider that nest, the fly. No animal obviously has been so close to us here in the temperate zone within the past few years. Once when we were younger, we regarded the fly as a casual, tranquil varnish whose life-work was to seek out neighbor-hood stores where cheeses were aging, or to perch greedily on stray bits of candy that some sated youngster had dropped on the sidewalk, or to fall victim to the mueugel of fly-paper and spend long hours trying to extricate himself. The fly, we reflected in his boyhood, led a detached life, free from human relationships save when an occasional sweat-soaked workman trudged We have somehow lost that laster faire philosophy within the past few years. Flies as a species may have been casual; today they glide irreversibly toward any human flesh that appears tangible, alight upon it and march up and down the exposed epidermis with a bewildering and tantalizing series of militant steps. The fly has innumerable legs whose multiplicity is exceeded only in interest by the singularity with which you are able to feel the various legs individually. A fly swatter across a professional nose may not stimulate an esthetic sentence, but there is little doubt but that it arouses a favidly physiological litch. No experience comminoulse manure truthfully say of the fly that he facen the exigencies of death calmly, cynically, resigned. The fly hangs on to existence with a disgusting avidity. When fall approaches, he wings his way from the sleeping-porch ceiling at the crack of down, and sounding the sonorous drums of his burzing, he executes a thousand advances and retreats across noses, bows, cheeks, paddle ears, and exposed feet. Wild swings and semolent imprecations, best expurgated here, do not discourage him; instead he gathers an impetus from such mutilation barbats, and does the "Waltz" with the Demon on the sensitive side of the sleeper's nose. There are no statistic on how many bloody noses have accrued from self-infected swings * missed the飞 Still we believe it is best to remain philosophic about the annoying varmint. When we were younger, flies, we thought, were tranquil pests; the present theory itself is that they have not changed radically, and any impatience at his irksome activity may merely be an earmark of impending age. REPRESENTATION? The W. S. G. A. election to be held soon. Last year it was necessary to hold a second election because of irregularities, such as electioning for candidates and combines of sororites in order to get their candidates in office. The move on the part of last year's council to eradicate electioneering was commendable. Because of this the council passed a bill providing for a penalty in case this situation should arise again. By condemning these practices it is resultant that the women's council is a more democratic and representative group of women. The judgment of worth of a nominee should be based upon her ability and not upon the group to which she belongs. Whose Finger Before Did Your Diamond Adorn?

St. Campus Opinion DEMISE OF THE DIME NOVEL Filippe Della Voguel What's become of the dime novel, such as we used to read in our teens? The issue of the Vulture yesterday or the campus conjured up memories of days when the Nick Carter, Frank Merkley, and the stars gripped us just as effectively. The Vulture endorsed a "back-to-old-times" movement which, if carried out, certainly would include the old-school schoolboy member always attracted small boys even at the expense sometimes of their street ball games. Perhaps you can enlighten me as to the apparent desire to play with the new and what, if any, has surplanted them. Old-Timer (The editor assures you that ne ... in no faecious mood when he considers the import of this question. To him, it is analogous to laughing satirically at the history and general trend of the last two decades. When realism rises, its humor and wit can be seen in biography, World War, free verse, prohibition, and the renunciation of women, the dime theater then seems less relevant than their disappearance. Its public still remains. They read Edgar Lee Master's "Lincoln," Aston's "Hillary," and Inman's "In Our Time," and attend cinemas depicting gangsters with baffy faces who controlled the whole of American life, "Heinwegys" in " Remantas of the dine novel popularity are still in vogue.

The small boy is reading is difficult to say, obviously from the sort of material that has been drafted into the Big Book, but it doesn't seem as hard than the teenen baseball stories. Perhaps he feels there is more money in playing football at some school where the subsidization is alleged to be of fortune- Then, too, the last two decades have been biologic. Fictionists follow their biologic instincts into their bedrooms.

It is merely a suggestion which, if carried out, would save a great deal of time, energy, and money. It seems to us that some place in library might be arranged, either with portables or with a person who could bring their portables, so that students could typewrite the notes which they have to take from reference books. They would need to spend long hours taking notes in pen or pencil in their notebooks and then return them to the library in order to receive a better grade. Every professor prefers typewritten papers and notebooks. Most of the students find it much easier to type their papers and notebooks. But to do this they must memorize vocabulary and energy. Incidentally, typing the notes from reference books would take General Sultan are what all the different black races are called in the north-western quarter of Africa.

But we suppose that like everything else about the library, nothing can be done with it. Fraternity sponsors at the Kansas university point out that only about 20 per cent of a fraternity tax would be paid by students, but many be derived by the city in which the fraternities were located. They add the further argument that "the fraternities have brought in law enforcement into Lawrence (home of Kokanevich) $1,275,000 for building new houses. Nearly all of this was spent with merchants of the On Other Hills --from the Oregon Emerald. Greek, who is a graduate of the University of Kansas find themselves in somewhat the same predicament in regard to state taxation of their property. If a man is living in Oregon and he have been in for some time, the difference is that living organizations have always been taxed at Oregon, and the tax on their property is the nature of a measure freezing them from the burden, while at Kansas the freedom previously been taxed but now must fight to keep the legislation from passing a ball that would take away their tax It smoulders something of the ridiculous for Greek letter organizations to assume that they are entitled to exemplary status. No, they add to the economy well being FRATERNITY TAXATION Campus Comment A news story in the University Daily Kannan brings out that the organizations are making their stand on the same common ground; that fraternities have been exempt from taxation on constitutional rights. Several years ago an Oregon test case on the constitutionally taxing fraternities ended favorably for the Greek letter groups. A similar test case on the supreme court at the present time. PROF. CARROLL D. CLARK. Friday night's game with Missouri was just a pacifier — very effective after a season of wrangling. of a city or a state. Undoubtedly they do. But any successful business enterprise must be able to make the same reasons. Fraternities can make a case only if they can show that they have the skills and knowledge in non-profit making groups, and have the function as such. Charitable and non-profit making institutions have been founded in order to cause these were considered as working for the good of mankind and the state and thought of compensation or reward.
