"YES-MEN" OR CRITICS
Academic "yes-men," devotees of the fine art of "apple polling," may get grades out of their courses. But the student who is ready at all times to disagree with his instructors and text books, and who challenges, mentally or verbally, every questionable statement, is the one who gets something more than grades in his courses. Passive acceptance is mental laziness. It is not an incentive to thought.
Disagree with your instructors.
Make them convince you. Why? Not because you are apt to be right, but because you will learn to think for yourself. Remember that the University loses its primary function if it fails to be an incubator and training ground for individual thought.
University freshmen are in high school no longer, but many of them, even after they cease to be freshman, keep their high school habits of study. They send assignments mechanically, memorizing certain facts that may seem important. At class they sit passively through lectures and recitations, absorbing some, questioning and scrutinizing none. Finals over, they proceed to forget practically everything learned during the course.
But a few each year possess the proper academic point of view. They study slowly, panning often to question and consider. In class they are alert and ready to challenge and to be convinced. Finals over, they remember, for they have had an active part in the course. The instructor has not done all the work.
people who read only newspapers are not well educated, yet a person is not well educated unless he does read the newspapers.
AND BOTH MISTAKEN
Mary Jane walked quietly down the hill bat Jance. She was a dignified senior who had worked hard for the evelated scoliodi diploma. She was a Phi Beta Kappa, Signa M Xi, had one hundred hours of straight A's with nothing below B, and the Good-Will fellowship in biological chemistry for further research at the Berlin Medical College. She was pointed out to the speaker as the girl who would bring here Alma Mater credit. Mary Jane went home with parents who were proud of her. Two weeks later she had a nervous breakdown and is now in a sanitarium in Arizona trying to regain lost strength.
Beside her, Lou Frances tripped along also looking very tired and worn out. A member of Alpho Rho, social sorority, W.S.G.A., the League of Women Voters, W.A.A., country club, the Second Generation club, the orchestra, the glee club, Y.W.C.A. rifle club, honorary colonel of the R.O.T.C. senior class day committee, Jayhawk staff, carnival committee, and traditions committee, a freshman Jayhawk beauty and honorary colonel of R.O.T.C., she naturally too much to do. Her transcript was barely the danger line. She was declared the most popular girl on the campus and was to be married in the latter part of June. She too went home with proud parents, and the time intermingling before her marriage found her resting because she had been worked in school.
Two mistaken devotees to ideals.
FOUR POUNDS OF GUM
FOUR POUNDS OF GUM
Four pounds of gum! Four pounds of gum could easily be made to reach three times around the new Snow Hall and half way over to the Chi Omega house. Its adhesive qualities would be sufficient to hold the entire University community in their seats four and seventen minutes after the whistle blows.
And we have the gum.
and we have the gum.
Four pounds of it were scraped from the bottoms of the chairs and tables in Watson library during the annual summer cleaning. The juniors, desiring to substitute what might seem to be exaggerations, collected and weighed the year's accumulation, and now they announce to the world that the University students have contributed that much to the library, by gum!
A good conversationalist seems to be the person who has develoed into a lot of things which were none of his business.
"THE FROSH COME OUT"
THE FROST COME OUT
Instead of bunking along through the year as seeds sprouting beneath the surface as prospective varsity football crops, and instead of drilling away a period of two months with occasional calls to be "dummies" for the varsity to practice on, this year's candidates for the yearling pigskin squad are due for a few competitive games under sanction of the Big Six conference rules.
On Nov. 9, Coach Stech Hinehawk will present a fresh clew in a game here against the Kansas Aggies, for state freshman honors, and on Nov. 16 the Jayhawk yearnings will journey to Columbia to clash against "Mizouz" frosh grinders. It all goes to help the horsese stage of one freshman candidates before their "coming out" season next September. No doubt, with 125 men to choose from, Coach Hinehawk will have need of discrimination. Yet, when the time comes, varsity competition will be well along its way, and interest in promising material will have come to light. Kanwill is "all eyes on the freshmen" when the Aggie game takes place here Nov. 9.
Suppose the bursar of a college should say, "Pay when you get ready." The state made a surplus appropriation this year." How would everybody feel?"
REVIVING AN OLD ONE
Other universities have faced the question of fall rushing and made heir decisions. Will the University continue to foster a recognized problem with definitely seeking a solution?
Immediately followring rush week each year, active members of organizations say, "Never again. We must find a way of relieving ourselves of the burden of teas, parties, dinners, and smokers, and to give our cures time to 'catch a breath.' But while time passes quickly it takes with the memory of hectic hours, and with the beginning of a new year there are more rushing, more unhappy pledings, tired bodies, and financial depletion.
One university has ruled that prospective pledges must write the organization of their choice asking for 'dates' and enclosing a small remuneration for their dinner, tea, or what not. Near this university is another which ruled that students in that school should not pledge a social organization until one semester of residence had been completed. Still another campus rules that all students must live in dormitories, whether a member of an organization or not. If none of these solutions are applicable to the University it is up to the student government to find one that and relieve a grooming campus of harrassed students at the beginning of the fall semester.
PARKING REGULATIONS Parking facilities on the campus are limited, and those who really need licenses are numerous. The many others who drive their cars to school for pleasure and convenience, may drive for work or travel to the edge of the campus and so allow those more heavily burdened to lighten their load as much as possible.
PARKING REGULATIONS
Traffic between classes has become heavier than in former years. It has become necessary to deputize several men for the proper enforcement of the speeding and driving laws. The noticeable tendency of students to ridicule the policing squad not only renders the job more difficult, but also creates an atmosphere of callousness toward necessary law.

Insect Pests Believed to Be Natives of United States
Mexican
Mexico City—When the boll weevil first came out of Mexico to messen American cotton, it was taken as practically another proof of Mexican perversity. But now that good feeling between the two republics stands high. Mexican fruit-fly notwithstanding, a government scientist of the neighborhood country ventures to suggest that many insect posts naturally lambish on the trees in Mexico. A similar United States to roost at thousands of vents of wintertime in the southland.
If the student body would support the University in its enforcement of these rules, the situation would not only be made less difficult, but would alleviate the possibility of an unintimate banning of care. Cars will be banned by necessity within a few years if the condition continues to increase in seriousness as it has in the past years.

Hawaiian Island Calcium Content is Investigatee

Honolulu, Hawaii — much-dispersed question of whether the quantity of lime salts in the soil of the Hawaiian islands is sufficient to incur vegetative damage; to make good bones and teeth has been looked into by Dr. H. G. Chapel, of Oakland, California, who has attended to the teeth of primitive cats.
Doctor Chappel's study of the cranial material of ancient Hawaiians revealed that he was not alone in his discovery. The Museum of Hawaii has revealed the fact that, though it has been proved that a higher percentage of lime is present in the soil than in the United States, the heavy, strong bones and well-formed and enclosed skeletons of Hawaiians inhabitants of the islands show that the time present in the soil of the group is a sufficient for the needs of humans.

A movement downward out of ennuring of the last Ice Age, in the opinion of Dr. Alfonso Dampl, the deposition of ice on the coast of agricultural defence, of the Mexican department of agriculture. Mexico is one of the richest countries in the world today in local native species of plants and animals, which are mainly because it serves as a receiving net in which living things grow. The territory became unearable because of the great ice sheet and the cold weather on its fringes. The holdover ice rain lost thousands of years ago. Doctor Dampl believes, and is only the beginning of a great insect movement.

The two countries are already cooperating in the matter of the Mexican fruit-fly, which, though distinct from American crops, still threatens to spread into the Gulf states. It has already ruined the fruit of much of Mexico. Scientists of the U.S. are looking for the information that will enable them to control the evil.

CLEANERS AND DYERS
Prof. Johannes Thienemann at a bird station at Rosetten, "Saint Ferdinand," was able by means of requests from the staff to get valuable checks on the movements of a group of storks released after a number of bands had been attached to their legs at the beginning of the fall migratory season last year.
Band numbers in by in interested members of his radio audience showed that five days after the stock release we went to mountainains of Czecho-Slovakia. By Oct. 10 they were close Messel's down approximately 1250 miles in two weeks, almost due south. This time, the stock migration made in Germany, but the use of the radio naturally caused a gathering of gathering the required information. Whether the experiment will be repeated again this fall is not yet known.

New York—Teaching singers and other musicians their art by showing them their defects visually, may now be accomplished in a laboratory arranged here by Westinghouse engineers. It is called the "projectionics", and was developed by C. Anderson, of the Westinghaus Institute, W. F. White, acoustic engineer of the American Steel and Wire Co. The sound waves are picked up by a microphone, the current is fed into a tiny mirror. A spot of light is reflected from the mirror to a revolving mirror, which reflects it to the screen, where it appears to show whether or not any sound enters the microphone.
Plain Tales
in the will of Condit Voorelles, a past resident of Chicago, he stated that at the death of Mrs. Voorells a bequest of $15,000 is to be used as an endowment for the Knox College at Know College in order to develop culture, character, and a classical atmosphere which he felt was so lacking today. He believed that small companies with larger universities in specialization and diversity of courses.
Such Language!
A sweet young thing was endearing to appear nonchalant while carrying a sort of traveling library under one arm. She was a freshman in college, but she hadn't even entered. She dashed up the steps of Praeler hall and yanked at the heavy door. The yark was very violent. Sad! She wished she would walk down the steps. The young woman wished to appear nonchalant. "Dear me," she drawled, "I must confess my inability to cope with this situation and she didn't light a Murray's Ady."
Will He Be Kinder to Students Now? The professor was thundering his lecture impressively, "And the second point is..." He stopped suddenly and walked back. "Your walk away leaks on his face," I'm afraid I forgot previously, "he confessed."
In speaking of the values of going to church, one college student said, "Church is about the only time we stop except when we sleep." And they heard her just laughed and were the same thing.
And How!
The young people's society had been discussing the things that help any while going to college.
"How about a football game?" asked the leader. "Lose it help you meet college problems." He answered reply from the rear view. "It does if you bet on the winning team."
Handling the Herd
In spots of sign, fences and oral instructions, some students, particularly the freshmen, would often get out of the designated path of enrollment. After setting one of the errings, they would move forward, "Well go dark! Put up in a barbed-wire fence and they'd cut their way through it!"
