THURSDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1930 WILL THE FRATERNITIES CO-OPERATE? Several fraternities and sororites on the campus have indicated a complete unwillingness to co-operate with the Wednesday night dances which are sponsored by the Union Memorial Committee. Throughout the week, members of the committee and the fraternity officers will attend affairs be scheduled for Wednesday night and that a larger number of women be invited to the dance. Apparently, however, some of the organizations believe they can have a better time among themselves, and last night they hold open house for other fraternities from seven until eight o'clock. Of course it is not the intention of the committee that the dances be sponsored entirely for the organized houses, but it is true that without the co-operation of organized groups it will be impossible to make the dances as success. Possibly the conflict last night was unintentional. At least the committee, after striving earnestly to make the dances a success, hopes to receive a more encouraging response in the future. Certainly the pledges in any house will have as good an opportunity to get acquainted at the Wednesday night functions as in their own houses, and at the same time the Union project can be made a big success. We knew something was lacking in the atmosphere this year. It's because the editor of the directory hasn't come out with a dozen statements from time to time that the directory will be ready "in just a few day now." THE HASKELL CELEBRATION The Haskell homecoming powwow is on. All day the Indians have been arriving from all over the country; the Paecobls, the Navajos with their brilliant pottery and rugs, and the Hopis with their weird "Snake" dance, all from the southwest. The Sioux with their buckskins, feathers and paint come from the Dakotas, and the plains Indians from the central west. Tomorrow night the football teams of the University of Kansas and Haskell will renew gridid batting after a lapse of 27 years. Kauas will have an advantage because of the greater size of its team, but Haskell has some backs that will be extremely hard to control. The game will not be easy for either side to win. The historical parade, "The Pageant of Great Gifts," will remind the world of their gifts to civilization on this continent. The first period will portray the discovery of America by Columbus, with the Indian welcoming the White man to these shores and gladly giving his gifts to the discoverers. The second set will show the gifts of tobacco to the Virginians and maize to the Pilgrims. The third era will consist of the Lewis and Clark expedition, led by a Shoshone woman, and the Trail of Tears, the forced march under Military escort of the Cherokee to their reservation in Oklahoma. The pageant will close with the gift of the modern Indian girl and boy, emblematic of the spirit with which they are preparing themselves for life in this, their changed world. Those of us who are inclined to ap plaud the bravery and glory of woy may have revealed to us a very different affair should we read that humorous novel "Wooden Swords" which has been written by a young Frenchman who is still trying to find out what part he took in the struggle. "THE ROLLINS IDEA" The Nation presents this week another of the "College Frontier" series, "The Rollins Jobs." Rollin College in Florida works under a different plan from that of most colleges, a plan which thus for some very satisfactory to both pupils and instructors. It emphasizes the individual's growth and development as the all-important thing. The leaders in this plan believe neither the lecture nor the recitation method of teaching to be successful, on the ground that they do not encourage learning for love of knowledge. They think that the student needs the teacher's help, not when he has learned or failed to learn his assignment, but lusts for the lessons. The two-hour conference plan is established at Rollins. Both morning and afternoon are divided into two two-hour periods. In the foreground the two periods are devoted to those subjects, in which the student primarily works with his mind. As far as possible the first period of the afternoon is taken up with laboratory or field work and the last period with athletics, outdoor work, and recreation. The student's evenings are免除, except when a lecture, a play, or some similar activity takes place. All required study may be done in the classroom in order that time out-side may be spent in digging whist is already learned. In the class room the students can either carry on discussions among themselves or study. The teacher's task is to sit still, keep quiet, and be ready to help anyone who needs help. Very few term and yearly examinations are given, and tests and quizzes are not stressed. Where it is at all pass the edge is gained first hand by field trips. Hamilton Holt, the leader of the plan, believes that for its success, care must be taken in the selection of teachers and in the size of classes. A professor at Rollins college is chosen for his ability to guide others, and he must really love to teach. The classes are limited to groups of twenty. The chief aim of the school is to offer curricula that will best prepare its students for life after college. Although there is a tendency to be satisfied with our present educational system of lectures and quizzes in colleges, educational leaders admit that it is not entirely what is to be desired. For this reason the Rollins plan, which is evidently liked by both students and instructors, at least deserves consideration. Its results should be studied carefully. Speaking of books brings to mind the fact that "I Lived This Story," the College Humor Prize novel, is on sale at all the book stands. Like nearly every other college novel, it should be read by undergraduates in order that they can know what people outside think college is like. COEDS PROHIBIT SMOKING It is often stated on this and other campuses that girls must have their cigarettes. In fact, the practice has become so generally recognized that many sorority houses have provided special smoking rooms in order to evade the Pan-Hellenic, and in most cases national, sorority ruling that they must not smoke in their rooms. Given freedom, the average group of girls will recognize certain principles for themselves, but to attempt to force them toward any moral conduct is to invite temptation. The many millions of cigarettes smoked by women during the past year may be proof that the practice is not merely a temporary fad but an established habit. News reports throughout the country indicate that at least in some places the girls themselves are prohibiting the use of tobacco among their sex. The latest of such reports comes from the social hall of a branch of New York University, where the girls petitioned to have smoking forbidden because they considered it a nuisance. "Men requested to bring dates," reads an announcement in the Chancellor's Bulletin. It's a good thing they aren't required to give a reason why they didn't. CONGRATULATIONS, SAVITAR AND JAYHAWKER In the report of the National Scholastic Press Association, received recently, the Savitar, year book of the University of Missouri, was given All American rating on the issue put out last year. Only five or six books in the country receive this honor, the highest possible rating that can be given. Incidentally, we are habituated to seeing our Jayhawk receive this rating; for it has done so each year since its size was increased in 1926. The student body should co-operate with the editors in regard to class and organization pictures. It is the only way in which we can make this book better. The American people are noted for their souvenir habit, and whether or not we pride ourselves on being typically American, a 1931 Jayhawk will make an excellent moment of the duvat K. U. Undoubtedly the meant man on irth is the professor who makes a abit of walking into a class at twenty-ve minutes to the hour. The most embarrassing moment for many of our stags was at the first variety when after cutting in on a strange girl with the same old "Didn't I meet you at open house?" he found out that she belonged to a security that hadn't had its open house yet. A feature article in the Kansas City Star tells us that the German people make a serious business of their night life and drinking. Perhaps if we are to read ex-Senator Reed's analysis of liquor consumption in the United States it would appear that the United States doesn't do so badly at being curious about drinking. Who can imagine the embarrassment of a couple of seniors who stepped through the line of freshmen as they were marching in to their initiation services and were rudely thrust into line by a determined bunch of Ku Kus and made to march in along with the lowly fresh?

Button, Button Is New Game Played by Frosh KENNETH MEUSER, President Fittsburg, J. - F, Burnett, foreman of Kansas City Southern railroad's storerhome here, was arranged last Friday on charries on boards of the Burlington $10,000 bond. The complaint charged Burnett with alledged sale of scrap iron from Button, button is the new game that the freshman is required to play this year for the amusement of the K men. The main idea is for the freshman to place the second finger of the right hand on the derby button and do a push. The knee is done by holding the knees slightly and then racing quickly. The button box is never done unless there are orders from a K man. The armband is "Button" and the freshly-made hat is "Headband" or run the anatlet of the paddles. Railroad Foreman Is Arraigned A variation of the game is a circle on the sidewalk with the word "Buitre" written inside.
