THURSDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1930 SIX DAYS TO GO Picture shows do an unusual business, eating hangouts are generously patronized, and a few strangers make the rounds to the library to get in those outside reports before the holidays. Banquets are in order for the victorious football team, and the coaching staff fill numerous speaking engagements. from day to day awaiting the final whistle which will give us the really long break of the year. Fraternity and roaming houses are vacated in the quest for diversion. College folk must make new excitement, they live on it, they thrive on the unusual, and they must rest overworked brains with amusement. A quiz comes; but after it the slump back into the old life of restlessness and negligence. The Dove in all its glory will soon appear, to amuse, and to furnish conversation. Then there is the keep year variety and the baseball game at Washburn three days before vacation; after that—home. We'll resolve to study until vacation, but fail to do it. Come on, let's admit it, we're down-right lazy. Arch Jarrell of the Arkansas City Daily Traveler in commenting on the fact that only seven of the 1,705 women at the University of Kansas have declared their intentions of becoming housewives, says that he'll be willing to wager that within ten years from now a canvasser would have to ring about 900 doorbells to see what the rest of the women now here will be doing. Fie, ii. Mr Jarrell, surely you don't think it would take the ladies that long to acquire a doorbell to be ring by some canvasser. You underestimate a WHAT'S THE IDEA? Whoever started the fire of spitting through city streets at 10:39 p. m. in B, V, D.'s certainly has individualistic tastes. Whether he was victim to the orders of a cruel Greek, a member of the track team, or a disciple of a health man taking an outing before retiring, could not be detected by the manner in which a scantily-garbled young man late last night galloped down Louisiana street, turned up on Eighth and proceeded to his room. He had gone up peace with him, for we weren't in training and he wouldn't stop to tell us the meaning of his unconventional attire. If a pledge, he must have been thankful that it was a gentle breeze that played about his calves and not a December blast. He must have prayed ardently that every one in town be fast asleep. If a University runner, he probably thought that anyone who channeled to see him knew what he was doing. If he was a health seeker, he probably didn't believe in wearing clothes, anyway, We wonder if our shorts-clad friend makes nightly performances of his runs At any rate, we shall attempt to get at the bottom of this thing. Anybody else going to try it? Things that the county club has done for us; THE COUNTY CLUBS the lone represe- cence not one office out the whole cabinet. 2. Grumblings of discontent when some conservative county commu- ters discovered that local high schools could buy a Jayhawker for $1 while students must dispense $4.75 for the same thing. "Is life fair?" said some philosophic soul, blowing a ring of smoke toward the ceiling. 3. Increase in attendance at local soft drink emporium between the hours of 10 and 11 a.m. by ninety day of December, year of Our Lord, IX. 4. Training for detective-minded young men and women in finding rooms on the campus rmoned to be at the place where they should meet. 5. Discovery that several young men had once been Boy Scouts. Their good turn was to attend the meeting. N. B. We do not know whether to make a news story out of this or an editorial. If the fact that the clubs met yesterday in news to you, do not be disconcerted by this startling communication. Nine times $50 plus an equal amount for accessories, then the whole amount times four seasons of the year, muses the Thoughtful Freshman after reading the account of the Fashion show "No," he decides, "I think I'll get a Packard sport roadster. The operating expenses won't be so high." CHRISTMAS EVE IN THE COUNTRY More vivid among the memories of childhood than Santa Claus, in rural communities, is the annual Christmas church service, with white church with the green shutters. After sitting perfectly quiet through the long services and listening attentively while everyone recited his "piece"—even managing somehow to keep from laughing when the deacon's little daughter forget her lines and started twisting the hem of her skirt—there was always the moment of applause. The mother stood up and in what passed for a theatrical manner announced: "Well I suppose you're all ready to go home now?" He said the same thing every year, but nevertheless there was a sigh of relief when the bad boy of the town reminded him that he had forgotten about the snacks of candy which were on the table under the barrel under the enormous Christmas tree. Feigning a sudden return of memory, the Superintendent called the ushers to distribute the sacks, first adding the admonition that we must on no condition open them before we got home. But the temptation to discover the number of chocolate drops among the rest of the candy was too strong, and after a silly peek into the depths of the sack, it was only a minute until every child had thoroughly explored its contents. With the candy and nuts was always a sour orange, which had in storage since it had been picked the preeding February, and that played an im- Well Dressed Students --our orange, which had lain in storage since it had been picked the preceding February, and it played an important part in the barter which followed an exploration of the snacks. The more aggressive traders usually managed to exchange it for a few nigritors; and everyone was willing to trade it for almost anything—even the curly candy with the colored stripes which left a dark-brown taste in your mouth when you got up the next morning. After all the sacks had been distributed and the pastor had pronounced his benediction, you shyly wished the girl with the strangely, red hair and the freckles on her nose a "Merry Christmas"; then went home to watch for Santa. R. E. Protsch, the Tailor 833 Mass. go to The Thoughtful Freshman doesn't know whether or not the Monday-Wednesday-Friday combination of classes or the Tuesday-Thursday combination is his worst. Our Contemporaries ACCORDING TO SAMUEL 8. 1-1 teacher in Boston and on Mount Oread, Massachusetts, Kansas, and paid a visit to old Fraser Hall, where he matriculated in the University of Kansas forty-nine years ago. At that time it was one of the oldest colleges in the North College, then unused, except by the law department. Yesterday—as it were—I walked through the empty damsons room and conjured up the faces and friends of those long ago days of joyous youth—the care free days of the early eighteenth century. I remember the scholarly David H. Robinson, professor of Latin, speaking to us in Latin, telling us stories in Latin. One of the students was Stephen and his revenge on the gang of University boys who stole his turkeys. The Judge found out who were the culprits and they were charged. He sold them to Stephens Across the hall, Kate Stephens, professor of Grecian, greeted me with a kindly smile. She is an old woman from Athens, and I wrote her a letter from her recently, a wonderful letter, which makes it plain that she still retains the same vigor of intellect and energy. She is the same independent manner of thought, which distinguished her in the first years of the eighteens. Of all the people who I think I liked for best, and still do. There was James H. Canfield, perhaps the most popular of K. U. professors in these days. He was genuinely a scholar, and he was an independent thinker and denounced the turf, and that that man in had with him a little thing, and the K. U. but immediately got a better one at Nebraska U. and later went to Columbia U. as librarian. He was a The last time I saw him, he was on his way to Glathe to deliver an ordinance to ride with the mob to Ollah. He rode to Ollah and a copy of the first edition of Chamberlain's Life of Nell Gwynne with him. It was bound in red movee, and he was quite enthusiastic. --in the mathematics room Professor Ehriam Miller presided. Good nature beamed from his eyes and his good humor made even he would have otherwise been. Now comes the word that he is dead at Pasadena, California, at the age of ninety-seven. Thirty-seven years old, a great teacher he was. A man of high character and ideals, kindly and loveable. The thousands of Kansas boys and girls who set in his class room will cheer him to his greatest, as teacher and man. Down in the other end of the building with Canfield was Frank H. Snow. No man has a warmer place in the world than Professor Snow. His text book in Zoology was Professor Packard's book on that subject, and it was plainly a textbook on evolution, and so how Professor Snow could answer to how Professor Snow got away with it, but he did. And as I wandered through the old building recalling the forms and faces of old friends, and I let my heart swirl with the vowry who visited a sacred shrine, and in Old Fraser Hall I had again removed my touch from the place where there almost half a century ago. And that terrific trairning our bows gave the Tiger down at Columbia last week does not lessen our devotion to them. We all higher in culture on Mount Orend.

"I hit me over the head to make me remessless," said a certain instructor on finding herself so rushed with work as not to know exactly what was going "Oh, I don't think that's necessary," said one of the impudent seniors about him.
