TUESDAY, APRIL 22. 1930 THE LAST LAP Easter vacation is past. Not until finals are over shall we be able to take a vacation splurge. Until finals there will be the unbroken series of college events. There will be no lull in classes. And what does it all mean? Some will look back over the semester thus far, and few will be who will not have some misgivings. But then, expectations always exceed realization. But whatever our feelings, resolutions will be made only to be broken at the first opportunity. Johnny will have no more week-night dates to the show—but then tonight with Mary is different, and it's only for tonight. Joe College, that affable chip, will forget all resolutions tomorrow morning as he greets you with "Gotta cigarette". And in the hurry we shall find ourselves, before we know it, on the threshold of vacation. Finals will then be over; and we can look back and say, "Not such a bad year, even if things didn't go just right all the time." Hays a Wide-Open-Town—Headline. And on reading further, we find Sunday show and Sunday building go on to mastication O Slient O Gemorrah DEAD DAYS The summer and winter storms beat on the pavement that awswers north just in time to avoid the heavy building of red sandstone that drenches near the end of campus drive. Seldum is here, where we live. Our mood is always one of reverie. Inside, the floor covering deadens the footsteps, but the slightest sound echoes and re-echoes in the high ceiled rooms. The building seems to realize its emptiness of humanity and seeks to magnify all traces of it. Spooner-Thayer is a tomb, as are all museums, but still a kindly one, because it holds the past and it holds beauty. In its cases are daggers with which men killed, and odd vials that could have contained poison. Kings have walked on the rugs that hang on its walls, and slant-eyed women from the Orient have enhanced their beauty with the combs and pins that fill one case. A dark-skinned girl of Hindu-tan might have worn one of the wine red broadcased skirts as she danced in front of Buddha, and beauties of every race have been decked in shawls and bracades of Spooner-Tayer. Perhaps a French noblewoman wound the dainty china clock just before she was guillotined in the French Revolution. A pioneer mother on the Kansas prairie pulled the patchwork quilt from her hammock, unmugly while the winds howled outside. Spooner-Thayer holds the key to the past, and if the ghosts that have used and loved the things it holds could have done and talk, what stories they could tell? Since the advent of tp dancing on on the Hill many rooms will get new plaster next fall. INSPECTION Every spring the annual inspection of R.O.A.T. units in schools over the country is held, and each institution is graded on the results of the inspection. Today and Wednesday the R.O.T.C. of the University is being inspected by officers of the seventh corps area. Sometimes during the summer the military ranking of the University will be announced. During these two days the students enrolled in the ROT.C are wearing their uniforms, and during the times they are excused from other classes. It is during this inspection that people on the campus come to know more about the R.O.T.C. its aims and its purposes. There are many confused ideas, mostly erroneous, as to the real aims and purposes. Some do not want to believe that R.O.T.C. is actually doing; they feel better by just appearing and knocking. And row that the time of inspection is at hand and the cedars are "brushed up a bit" for the inspection, it would be a good thing for many on the campus to have an honest talk with someone informed about the R.O.T.C. A few minutes spent thus would be invaluable. It probably would not change the present attitude of mind of many, but it would inform them about what they are talking, whether for or against. It is reported that the boys who play around the steps of Green hall laugh at the engineers who walk by. HELP FROM MOTHERS ALL COMMITTEE MOVES All committee members have received letters from W. S. G. A. telling students about the approaching Mother's day celebration early in May and urging cordial co-operation on the part of all houses. The Kansas would urge that this co-operation be extended to individuals as well as to houses. Not that it will take much encouragement to be cordial to our mother, or to the mothers of our friends. We shall be only too glad to have a chance to show off and show them around. But take your mother to the various entertainments that will be planned. Give her a chance to get acquainted with you and with your friends. Take her to the desk and the concerts and show her the buildings on the campus. Give her something worth talking about while she is here. Wonder how many quizzes the eclipse of the sun will bother? FRENCH MENUS. AH! The American of the Forties, unable to understand the meaning of the French this menu, was at least spared the illusion that the French people had combivalible tendencies. The menu of this period, when translated, reveals terms half-barbarian, half-poetic. They explain at once the horrors of the French Revolution, and the dainty lyrism of French verse. Aspe, lizards, and hares become apeterizing under the adventurous titlene of "Stew of Good Christians," "Hash of Huntsman," "Four Beggars on a Plate." Did the fair lady prefer more dafty food, she might choose, "Sauce in Half-Mourning," "Strawberries of Veal," and "Starry Albatross." When the course of love ran smoothly she might for breakfast "Eggs Blushing like Aurora," "Pointats of Love," and, if the association were not too strong, "Amorous Snails of a Goose." The method of serving the duches was as imaginative as we the titles. Potatoes came in their jackets, cutlets in what resembled hair papers, and smells in patries that were artistic representations of dice-boxes. The most fastidious could not complain of the geographic range of food. Thistles came from Spain, cabbages from Brussels, artichokes from Barbary. But however far fetched the vegetables, they could not rival the names. THE STUDENT DOES IT WELL The student is a most versatile person. There is scarcely anything that he will not attempt to do at least once. But the thing which gives him his distinguishing character, into which he really puts his heart, is the art of time wasting. One can say that he does not do this job well. He is good at all times, but he becomes more efficient in the spring. The best thing about him is that he always has perfectly logical excuses for wasting time. In the library there are so many people to see; and social contacts are very important for the broadening of the student's horizon. In the classroom the scenes out of the window are much more attractive than the dreary one within, and much more conducive to higher thought than the lecture. In the afternoon it is important for the student's health that he have nourishment at the double-dip ice cream cone place, or that he get his exercise in a swim at the brick vards. Plain Tales From the Hill There is no end to the things essential to his cultural needs that he must not let pass if the evenings. And even after all such matters have been duly attended to there are often the impromptu gatherings commonly known as "bull-fetts" to be considered. No end of knowledge and valuable information might be lost if he missed one of these gatherings. Indeed the student is an efficient time-waster! RENT A CAR Several days ago one of the faculty members spoke at one of the fraternity house. The next day a Kansas University instructor met with the instructor's subject. There did not seem to be anyone at the house who knew what he had spoken about so the reporter called the office of the university president. "Well," said the faculty member, "I did talk about something, but I don't know now what it was." Some time ago the Y.M.C.A. secretary had occasion to call one of the fraternity houses in regard to the fireside forum. The pledge who answered it told her not know anything about it, so he turned away from the telephone and came back. "Does anyone know anything about the Phi Si Ford?" RENT-A-FORD 916 Mass.
