STUDENT MEETINGS
If discussion groups are helps toward education, as is very probably the case, there will be no lack of opportunities to attend them at least. The programs offered include almost every subject that can be thought of.
The Why Club meets tomorrow night in the Union building. This is an iconicoclass, built-throwing organization, which starts at an unusually early hour right after supper so the members can get to bed by 3 a.m. Nothing is barred; talk is free, cheap, and plentiful.
The Dove starts meeting tonight in north Fresno tower. This little journal offers a place for anyone to air his particular pecces and grises. It is one of the few absolutely unregulated college journals in the country.
The Club for Socialist Study meets Tuesday night in the Journalism building with an attempt to explain in words of no more than one syllable the intricate and complex subject of socialism. Question and discussion will follow the main speech of the evening.
Every Sunday the different churches in town offer forums for discussions of various questions. Usually these are rather more harmless than the above-mentioned clubs, but every now and then something really hotly controversial comes up.
One can hardly afford to miss participation in some sort of intelligent discussion and expect to be educated. Controversy stimulates thought; they do say sometimes that college is in some way supposed to be productive of thought. Not having seen much, we can't say.
The noonday luncheon forums sponsored by the Y. M.-Y. W. C. A. organizations are due to start soon. Originally, student Christian organizations are imprecip and backward affairs, but the Kansas ones are by no means so. They are tolerant and intelligent.
THEY AINT DONE RIGHT
BY OUR KNELL!
The school whistle this year sounds more like one attached to a canning factory or a packing plant than something associated with our University. The tone this year has a timid, tremolo effect, instead of the full-throated roar of the whistle close to the hearts of older members. The reason probably is because it is a new whistle, and the human element has been removed from its operation.
Now it is blown by clockwork, a robot as it were, and it waits on no man, professor or what have you; and the student in class, whose time to recite comes next, can no longer hope and pray that the watchman's clock is fast, that he may escape the task to which he has been assigned.
STATISTICS, COLD
The city slicker is departing from our campus, and the country boy is coming into his own. If you don't believe it, go over and have a look at the enrollment figures that show an increase or decrease, as the case may be, of each county as compared with last year. Crops were poor and hard times plentiful, yet it is Farmer Brown and not Banker Smythe that is sending his son to school this year.
The latest reports have it that the total enrollment is an increase of 48 over last year. And this is in the face of the fact that the more densely populated counties that have been in the habit of leading the enrollment list have taken a decided backslide in the number of students they have entered this year on the books of the registrar.
Included among the counties that are keeping more of their boys and girls at home than at this time last year are Douglas, Wyndotte, Sedwick, Reno, Leavenworth, and Montgomery. As to why, one guess is as good as another. It might be junior colleges, it might be any of several reasons.
Anyhow the gain in our campus population this year can be attributed to the counties that stand near the bottom of the list. The farm boys from western Kansas are here in force this year and the counties they represent are the ones that show the increase. Interpret that as you may.
FREE DANCES
The Wednesday night free dances, which start (tonight), represent one of the most effective attempts yet made to turn up a dance hall. Mix it up in a game with eight bit on the厅.
The dances will be open to all those who have a membership in the Union—which should include all the student not on the verge of absolute poverty.
The high cost of student entertainment, as the young ladies expect it to be done, frequently constitutes an inoperable barrier to students without any too great a surplus of money. Whatever tends to make recreation costly is the benefit the campus in no uncertain way by uniting it more and more closely.
We heartily applaud the increasingly better uses to which the Union building is being put, and we trust the dances will be attended by vast mobs—as surely they will.
PITCH TILL YOU WIN, GENTS—
TACH LILL YOU WIN, GENTS.
And another way to distinguish the frost from the upper elassman is to notice the way the reference books are returned to the desks in the library.
For instance, the new stude place his returned book preciously under the small sign which reads "Return Books" on a desk where he has photisitated so-called *soil*, he usually stands at the door of the reading room and attempts to catch just any part of the reference desk on the first pitch. Sometimes he wins. Who loses? In either case the书 is the loser.
SAFETY FOR DEMOCRACY
When the final numbers are played at open houses Friday, democracy at the University of Kansas will be safe for another year. At every varsity or other social function, eager youths will repeat the phrase, "Didn't I meet you at open house?" and some sweet young things will answer, "Oh yes."
The but a rehearsal of the past. A series of coming-out exercises must be gone through with in order that the pledges may be known. Some people who are prone to be pessimistic about conditions at this University may point to this practice as a part of a smobbish system; while less critical minds may see it as a deliberate attempt to break down formalities.
In all fairness we may conclude that there is no immediate cause for a social revolution or a war against snobishness. Frank observation will lead to the conclusion that no school in the valley exercises less formality about introductions and other social maneuvers, and almost anyone who wants to get acquainted with at least one friend who knows someone that can work it. Everyone might as well take advantage of the opportunities offered by open houses. Meet all the people that you possibly have time to meet, and then conclude that you know the rest anyhow. It is really a practical plan and will work wonders on the occasion of variates or the Wednesday night dances.
A BLIND-DATE BUREAU!
Our neighbors at the cow college have established a blind date bureau. At the college it is customary for men's organizations to join with those of the women in social functions, and since the membership are so large that it is impossible for the members of one society to know more than a few of the members of another, lists of all women in each society are given to the men's societies and the men pick their dates by name.
Just how long will it work? Perhaps if they find it successful we can try it too. But the element of chance in blind-dating is great enough here without adopting an "eeny-menny-minyo" system.
Editor Daily Kansan:
Campus Opinion
--reputation.
As a fellow sufferer, I wish to raise a feeble voice in protest (not that I expect it to do any good!) against the crowd of cheerly little midgets who make me feel so angry. They all have a sense of humor, the kind that regards slipping on a banana peel as the funniest thing we ever see. They are sliping. They all want to brighten up this dull old world and to scatter sunshine without buying greeting cards, so they take their place and watch the people around them watch, they sing, they whistle, they chuckle with glee, and I'm expecting any day to have them start serving ten meals for us. It is their strmonic careers in college. They are the laws, representatives of an honored profession. They set like a bunch of high school idioms badly written on their walls. It is their express purpose to embark the self-conscious, humiliate the unselfconscious, and shake the pose of the group that goes along down the walk of Green hall there float on the air a few remarks out of which the men seem to be able to express their needs they are necessarily dirty, or even funny, but they are embarrassing to the one who occasioned them. If a man gets into trouble, the caups tie up the time of an old camp song whose words are "and the worm crawl in, and the worms crawl out, and the worms crawl over your body, and then nonchallence temporarily thrown out of order, go on by in confusion. Those canes, beating out the rhythm of their footsteps, carry them have struggled through enough Blackstone to become senior laws, ready to represent their professors fittingly on the steps of Green hall.
And for what purpose? What does this razoring accomplish for the School of Law, and what does it contribute to this institution?
If some lonesome frechman has prevailed on the fair co-ced of his choice to go down off the Hill and have a cake with him, he has to run a quintet. He can do it by offering Mere relaxation for the great minds who intend to bring justice into a world ruled by law. Considering some of the fears that citizenship unfortunately protect such pestilious creatures as the lawyers from boiling in oil, and hanging seems too tough to manage, the rights of citizenship unfortunately protect such pestilious creatures as the lawyers from boiling in oil, and hanging seems too tough to manage, the rights of citizenship should be done. From the time the first September breeze lifts circular skirts uncomfortably high, through which the dandelions are eternally imminent, until the time when warm spring breezes bring out crops of dandelions and fraternity pine, will their best to embarrass, to humiliate.
All it has accomplished, as far as I can see, is to give the student body the idea that the men in the School of Mathematics are most of fun is the most painful embarrassment of fellow students, and whose manners may be all the law requires, but whose behavior fails short of what they would define as common courtesy.
The Phil Delta use a cow bell for a dinnerong. Is that their idea of the most appropriate summum?
The first meeting of the Men's Glee club will be held this evening in Marion hall. Old members from last year's club are requested to appear at the event.

Garden City Sued for Damages
Moscow — (UP) — The great mass of the Soviet pensionary are still refusing to subscribe to State loans, the first non-State pensioner, to the沸腾 of the outward under way indicator.
SOVIET PEASANTRY REFUSES
TO SUBSCRIBE STATE LOANS
The whole amount of this loan is 700,000 rubles which means that a more than 30 per cent already owned bank account is needed plain; that the plan are not being carried out but it is likely that the will be fully subscribed eventually.
Of the first 358,000,000 rubles subscribed in the entire Union, only about 20,000,000 rubles were taken by the agricultural population. Organized city workers and office employee took over 328,000,000 rubles, a total of over 328,000,000 rubles.
