HOW DO YOU DO
The constant inflow and effluf of University students will go on this year as before. Many friends of last year will be missing when the Hill roll is called, while other friends are waiting to be acquainted.
Hearty greetings are extended by the entire University to you who are new to the Hill routine and to you who are returning. While many changes will be noted on Mount Oread, the same Kansas spirit, ideals and purposes remain.
Even more effort is being made this year to acclimate the freshmen, and to renew the interest of the more advanced. Students, the stage has been set for your arrival through the cooperation of the buildings and grounds force, the deans, the student committees, faculty, student organizations and old students.
Again we wish you well in the be ginning or continuation of your Uni versity career.

JOHN R. LEAVES
A friend to all and an adviser to most of us will be missing from the fall when classes resemble in the fall. John R. Dyer, dean of men and assistant to the Chancellor, to note but two duties of his viverrell record, will work in the future at the southern branch of the University of Idaho.
Not only may the effect of his loss be conjured, but the absence of one actively connected with the Y.M.C.A., Cosmopolitan Club and various other organizations in addition to his official duties, is certain to be felt in many quarters.
These air derines they are having newdays are even more dangerous than the "brown" variety is in certain parts of ye odle South.
While on the Hill Dean Dyer showed not only how to do a good job, but also how to do many things well. His gentle smile and warm cordiality can hardly be replaced. The bonds of friendship and duty are never quite dissolved. Dean Dyer will be remembered and spoken of inflectionally whenever Jayhawks recall their days at the University.
ANOTHER "COME-BACK"
The cross-word puzzle craze is returning to its own. Many newspapers and magazines which ignored the popularity of the word tessens when they were introduced and reached their heyday several years ago, are now printing the intriguing designs for the vocabulary minded to solve.
Some are inclined to laugh at the puzzles, saying they are merely good ways to waste time, while others declare that they are invaluable in adding to one's knowledge of words and their definitions.
Perhaps they are valuable, but at the same time it is not a good practice to trick ourselves in believing that we like to look up words. By the way—do you know a 13 letter word meaning a three-hinged door opening to a patern gate?
Bushyknob, Missouri sounds as though it would be a good location for a barber college.
"FRITZ"
Henry Werner is the new men's student adviser, to avoid the staid, official sound of "dean," but before long, he is sure to be known to all the Hill an "Fritz." His friends have long known him by his familiar appellation, and, since his new capacity will allow and even require him to make many more friends, "Fritz" is certain to be even more widely applied.
Large institutions may easily see cold and hostile to the new student, so "Fritz" Werner has been secured to give over his afternoons in an effort to dissolve the fears, untangle the problems, and seek the friendship of Hill newcomers. One knowing "Fritz" feels sure that no one could be a superior friend for a human man task. On the other hand, a superhuman would be out of place, since one with "human" understanding is needed.
According to all that one knows a bears about "Fritz," he is truly qualified for the place. A lover of children a companion of boys and a friend of young men, he has all the attributes of an invaluable adviser to Hill men His predecessor, Dean Dyer, who was admired for the same qualities, says, "He is widely read, has wide interests and a priceless sense of humor. Very popular with children, boys and young men, his human sympathy is sure to make him a friend to all the University. I think that no better man could be more suited for the child! For the past several years he has been buried in the chemical laboratories and has served as state food analyst but now he will take off his afternoon to serve the Hill as he rightfully should."
IT'S SURELY SO
If he has a mock, mild look
And carries a new notebook,
Help her frosh
If he has a glassy stare,
And perks his nose up in the air,
He's a soph.
If he acts a little haughty,
Tries to make you think he's naughty.
He's a junior.
If he walks with books in land,
Looks as if he owned the land.
He's a senior.
But if he steps out from a throne,
Grins and makes you feel you belong
Shakes your hand and asks your name
New or old it's all the same.

Many of us still cling to the fallacy that figures cannot be would be better if they were not attempted to reconcile the various figures regarding crime which different authorities believe in, labor and an earnest attempt to secure security. Figures dealing with such matters are used to attempt a comprehensive picture of the sum of crime commit-
One might be led to suppose that the number of arrests is always smaller than the number of crimes; or that the fact that in many cases several different arrests may be made for the same crime, either because several different persons are involved in it or because one person is falsely suspected.
Then there is another important reason why the number of arrests might exaggerate the amount of crime; the same person, if he is a national citizen, would be treated again and again in the course of n. year. The number of arrests in our national capital was recently given publicity because in the year 1920, the population through the total population is exited at about 550,000. Does this
mean that one-fifth of the inhabitants of the nation's capital are civilians? It is not clear how figures in this way. Yet it is the estimate of police officials that only about a quarter of all citizens have been resisted, and of course not all of these were found guilty of the offences.
Unfortunately, no record was kept by the Washington police last year of the exact number of individuals arrested in the raid. In May, 12,049 arrests were made but only 10,700 individuals were apprehended. Of those, 1,343 were just one month.
In 1923, 325.1 persons were committed to prison from every 100,000 population. This rate is greater than for any single cause of death. One factor is the most important cause of death from heart diseases—the most important cause of death.
It is not necessary to exaggerate the scope of the crime problem by using the misleading high figures for the number of people who commitments are high enough to alarm any community. Suppose, for the moment, we consider that the com-
mitment rate is 10%. Then the cessation of his usefulness to社會. We may then compare the rate of those lost to society in this way by considering through death from various causes.
