SMOKING SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 16, 1930 At the Kansas State Agricultural College students voted to prohibit smoking on the campus. That was several years ago. Since then other schools have followed their example. In still others the school authorities have prohibited smoking. Recently the Chancellor issued a warning to students and faculty members reminding them of the ruling of the Board of Regents which prohibits smoking in University buildings. The warning mentioned the fact that many are in the habit of smoking in hallways and offices. In the past year two fires have been directly traced to smokers. State law forbids the issuing of University buildings. There is only one conclusion; smoking must stop in all buildings on the campus. THE ORATORICAL CONTEST Perhaps a dozen men reported to Prof. E. C. Boulder for precursor drill in fundamentals when he announced the annual oration context; but those few who are studying some vital, present problem preparatory to stating their conclusions in an orientation should be the pride of the University. Statistics show that "Who's Who" has more names of people who were active in college forensics than of any other representative group of students. The annual contest should be an incentive to ambitions students for the most thorough reflection on vital problems and an attempt to express conclusions in a logical, consecutive form. He who dances must pay for an expensive orchestra. At least, that is coming to be the situation at Hill parties. The prices of tickets to several recent dance sponsored by the two student councils have been higher than has been customary in past years. Prices may continue to increase if the present tendency continues. For this reason, the party situation will be one of the topics to come before a meeting of fraternity representatives called by the men's student council this afternoon. NARSITY DANCE ECONOMICS Two factors operate to effect higher varity dance prices. The first is that students seem to be discontent with dances for which Hill orchestras play. To get a crowd, some expensive band with a wide reputation must be hired. The second is that fraternity and sorority parties are becoming more and more frequent, and when they occur on nights of Hill parties, they greatly decrease attendance at the Hill functions. Fraternities and sororities discover an appreciation of Hill orchestra by bringing in expensive bands for their parties. Such a practice furthermore creates a sort of cut-through competition between organizations, one trying to outdo another, so that a great deal of extravagance results. The solution of this problem seems to be in a co-operative measure providing a rational maximum which may be spent by an organization for a party, and possibly the requirement that Hill bands be used exclusively. Such a proposal probably will come before the meeting this afternoon. Another difficulty is presented by the practice of several organizations of having as many as four parties a semester. There are only about fourteen week-ends open for variates. With forty-three organizations on the Hill, it can be readily realized that if each were to have four parties each semester, every Friday and Saturday date would be filled. Here, again, the only apparent solution lies in the adoption of a measure limiting the number of parties each organization may have in a semester, and if possible scheduling such functions in order that they will not conflict with Hill affairs. ORSOLESCENT HELL WEEK While there can be little doubt that the old-fashioned bell test, as a regular pre-initiation ceremony practiced by fraternities, is a passing institution, no evidence more conclusive than the recent arrest of a number of pledges of a certain local chapter is needed to show that it has not passed entirely. Even so, that which remains of bell week is undoubtedly milder, though perhaps no less inane than the neophyte trials of a few years ago. Violence, nocturnal depredations, physical inflictions, outrageous tasks, and the like which characterized the old bell week have not fairly general disapproval at the University. A few fraternities have done commendable pioneering work in the abolition of the custom. In some organizations no pre-initiation ceremonies whatever are permitted. In others a probation period of a constructive nature is held. One national fraternity has encouraged its chapters to abolish the old custom and to substitute a period of trial during which the prospective member is prepared in a serious manner for the serious purpose, which pervades its initiation ceremony. Other fraternities have taken similar steps. Regardless of how well they live up to them, all fortierens are based upon birth ideals, which usually are embodied in their initiation ceremonies. The baptism spirit which characterizes the customary birth哭 no proper preparation for the assimilation of lofty aspirations. FORESAKEN The ghosts are playing in old Snow mall. Every night at the stroke of 12 they enter and dance and flit mercurily through the foreheadsaken. But never a sound do they make, for they are memories of days long past. Desected by those whom it loved, the poor old building gates with sorrow and wistful eyes upon all passers-by, probably hoping that some day someone will come in and break the spiral of loneliness. And if one listens closely there are days when old Snow can be heard sighting and sobbing as the cold North wind snaps at it with shorn teeth. This great stone building with the quaint town has stood for years. Hundreds of feet have crushed its threshold and hundreds of voices have asked and answered questions within its shabby rooms, but today it stands alone. It seems a shame to think of tearing down so beautiful an object. It is beautiful because it is loved. In the spring when the ivy has again grown tall and green the gray stones will be hidden and Snow hall will be a thing of splendor. Nature is a kindly creature. Of course it would be impractical to let this desirited building stand always, for it does hide the beauty of the library. However, there are many who will watch its removal with a ten in their eye, for old Snow hall is wrapped in memories and memories are saired. When these lye-covered walls are gone there will indeed be something missing from the campus but love for the old forsaken building will forever remain deep in the beauties of students. A senior law student at the University of Oklahoma claims to have eaten two cows, and offers as proof the fact he has eaten four hamburgers daily during his college life. As if anyone could be certain of 100 per cent cow in a hamburger. Nanking Taking on Western Ways. Installs Water System Like Other Cities Nanking—(UP) —Nanking is at last to have a public water system like any other modern city in the world. For centuries past, Nanking residents have been content to get their water from whatever source they could find near at hand. A wagon load of seawater, the city's main water supply, had to be brought in by the imagination of many a well-to-do but hereditary citizen, to any nothing of his brothers of the north.¹ Well, shadow and producing only surface water which is usable for deinking purposes, have been a chief water supply. Even fifty billionaments need this. The human body unfamiliar sight to witness a woman watching the family rice and vegetables right next to some one hand-drying clothing at the same pond! Then came a change. The establishment of the national capital here has not only brought a great influx of population but also more enlightened citizens and provided the need of the water supply and the need of a public water system are being felt. In order to give immediate relief, deep-seated problems have been resolved portions of the city by the special municipal government. River water is also transported into the city in tanks via the city railway, and in some cases by the wagon loads at 40 cents a load. In order to solve the problem in a more permanent way, the immediate installation of a public water system project, Myager Liu Chi was appointed some time ago a commission to make definite preparations for the organization of a public water work. It is necessary to build a large plant and institute of the commission, that plans are now being completed for an early installation of the water system. The water supply will be taken from the city's wells and pumped by the river so as to avoid the fifty discharge from the city. A big reservoir will be constructed in the hilly district inventories, and the contour of the land makes the location most suitable for the purpose. Tenders are already invited for the entire plant of the water system, with the expectation that the capital will be supplied with pure water. University of Nebraska fraternity pledged 90 men and the sororities 75 women at the beginning of the second remember. Phi Tales From the Hill HEADQUARTERS At last a use has been discovered for young people's meetings on Sunday evenings. At Wesley Foundation, in London, a man on the roar row alternately looked at a small set of cards and the audience gave thoughtful expression on his face. Investigation disclosed that he was an enthusiastic speaker with thoughtful expression on his face and quiet of the discussion. --for "It is difficult to imagine England taking up prose and a professional role, but it is difficult to imagine America taking it up," urged the cynical sophomore in 1983. Shirts for Spring 1930 There's a story now going the rounds of a certain Hill instructor who put the question to vote as to whether the class would prefer to have a promised examination before graduation, being informed by popular ballot that the pre-vacation date was preferred, he set the time for after the holidays. $2.00 up Where there is life there is hope.

A psychiatric service to assist the judge in determining the sentence of all convicted offenders is recommended in a resolution just issued by the Committee on psychiatric or nychiatric services of the American Bar Association. Science Service This committee of lawyers has come to the conclusion that such a psychiatric case is not worth the burden in every case, where the judge has any discretion as to length or type of案件. The judge must also call for the judge to call for the advice of court psychiatrists in any other case where the judge will not. The chairman of the committee Prof. Rollin M. Perkins of the University of Iowa Law School, in comment on the report said: "It represents a very preliminary step in the effort to make a more scientific approach to problems of social dislocation and mental defect. The hope is to do away, as far as possible, with the battle of experts in the courtroom and to permit the mental expert to assist the law firm where he can work to be advantage." District Court May Rule Cocktail Shaker Illegal Los Angeles—(UP)—The status of a cocktail shaker is the point at issue in U. S. D. tribunal court here, the cocktail mixer manufacturing liquor? An indictment charged Joseph Daniel Murphy with possession and manufacture of alcohol in his possession, but pleaded that he was cutting grain alcohol and making cocktails which he felt was not manufacturing, in the sense of The U. S. district attorney's office felt that it was, murmurly, the counsler argued that if the court construed a law against him, he could confiscate liquor, then any person mixing alcohol with other liquids would be guilty of the offense, the counsler said.
