THE FIRST STEP
The social fraternities have endorsed the resolution drawn up Sunday by their representatives to the inter-fraternity council. This would seem to indicate that Hell week is well on its way toward abolition.
Prospects for the future look good. A consciousness of the evils of the system has been awakened and the representative groups are facing the problem in a spirit of detachment and sincerity. They are to be congratulated on this.
It would, perhaps, be asking too much to ask students to assume the attitude of those older and wiser and to do away with all the pranks of youth, for they are young but once. Nevertheless, there may be eliminated those phases of student activity which unfavorably affect those outside of the student group or which may at some time endanger the lives of the student.
If night pre-initiation activities are once confined to the respective fraternity premises, the Hell week problem will be far along in the way of solution.
Theodore Roosevelt: To play the game, rather than to win, is the nim.
Life is a great game; if it is played with, a look in for the undercover, there must come to one a degree of satisfaction.
AN AMERICAN TRAGEDY
New York policemen recently caught a wild steer by swinging hailstorms from taxicabs. This sounds to us like a publicity stunt to lure the innocent cowards to the big city.
Perhaps among all nations America stands last in wealth of tradition, Under the pitiless exposure of modern truth-seekers many of her most famous and well-believed historical events have proved to be only planable falsehoods, handed down year after year until they have been accepted as truths.
It is sad to learn that the Declaration of Independence was not signed on the fourth of July, that George Washington drank and smoked and sword, and that he himself did not write his famous farewell address, but it is well nigh heartbreaking to give on the cherry tree story.
Something about the picture of George admitting his guilt before an angry parent has stood in mind as a scene of virtue incarnate. It was essentially human. It placed him on a plane of nobility that any schoolboy appreciated, and it didn't make him out a sisyby doing it. As an object lesson it was unequalled.
The truth is a fine thing, as is illustrated by the story, but it is sometimes an inadequate substitute for the tradition it cuts down.
A suggested subject for the ap pendix of Emily Post's 1929 edition. The art of the second date.
FOUNTAIN POLISHERS
In the days of yore, before man was civilized, drinking fountains were supplied by nature in the form of bhabbling brooks, cascades of shimmering waters and even quiet woodland streams.
This is a different age, however. It is, supposedly, a civilized world in
which we live. We proudly acclaim an advanced civilization, a complex life. Improved means of sanitation and prevention of disease are fruits of the age and we read and understand our advertisements.
No longer do we quench our thirst from silver cascades or from murmuring waters or find our way to woods through which streams are perverted one to have run. Our means of shaking parched throats between classes comes from the modern drinking fountain, clear and chemical water, sometimes cool and sometimes otherwise.
out our desire for the convenience is diminished at times and our confidence in our advanced age variables when we find that even our modern thirst-pickers are being defiled, "Fountain-polishers" the guilty one may be called, for they apparently have taken upon themselves the performance of a sober duty. Instead of letting the crystal fluid jump to their line in a jet, they come in unchief or it and aid it in its flow from the pipe by prominently resting their lips on the very vapour-head.
The principle of the thing is admirable, but the result is its opposite: college students with the mind of the advanced age but with the thoughtlessness of the primitive! Must everything be learned from textbooks or an good common sense have just a little show in guiding our everyday actions?
The dean of women at Marshall College says that 25-cent meals which satisfy are possible. In West Virginia, perhaps, Miss Beamond, but not at Kansas.
THE NONCHALANT HEEL DRAGGERS
"Klump - Klump - Klump! We are the merry hell-begging brabis! Such ought to be the college anthony of a great number of students who make their hourly rounds of the study rooms in Walton.
If the writer of the "collegiate" rubber beek advertisements which have been appearing in the Kansas were to act for one evening in Watson library, he would have more than enough ideas for arguments as to why students should wear rubber beehes. The height of youthful egotism and student thoughtlessness is combined when two prize haskets enter, dragging their steel-capped leather beehes. Beside the fact that such a promu-
mation is exceedingly bad taste it is most annoying to the students who have gone to the library to study to be rudely brought back to their surroundings by the key-hawk, kestrump, of a couple stooling down the aisles.
We are not objecting to students' being "collegiate," but the affection should be left behind when the doors of the library are entered. Bring the heels in, but leave the drug where it may be found when leaving the library.
It has been said that all the University needs now is a boardwalk to become a modern Atlantic City.
Eddie Cantor, black-face conedian is coming to realize that the way of the professional joker is indeed a hard one. Now that he has so firmly established a reputation for being funny not even Flu Ziegfeld believes him sincere when he says that he cannot be因为 pleurisy.
THE COMEDIAN MUST ENTERTAIN
Mr. Ziegbeld has asked the Actors' Equity Association to order Centor back to work. Poor dehuded Mr. Cantor, who does not know that he has joked so much that Ziegebeld feels he is carrying his play-acting into his private life!
This is the greatest tragedy of being comic. The humorist or comedian must be amusing even when he does not feel so inclined at all.
When an individual has acquired a reputation for the comic to the extent that Cantor has, he finds he cannot throw off the character of the humorist or the clown and appear as a serious minded person on any subject. No, his manager and his public will not let him give a worthwhile view, appear to have any intelligence, or

LITTLE WHITE GRANULES
A short time ago a man was apprehended in Kansas City giving away packages of cigarettes as an advertisement. Suspicion was aroused because of the fact that the manufacturer of that certain cigarette did not advertise in that manner. The man was arrested on suspicion, and examination of his warrants followed.

In furtherance of this an organization known as the World Conference on Narcotic Education has been organized. The last week in February of each year has been set aside as Narcotic Education Week. This year will see the second observance of it. If such an organization was ever vitally needed, and deserving of whole hearted support, this one is.

The clever cartoonist finds it possible to express an idea with a very few words and a minimum of drawing. Not only do such cartoons deliver a certain point, but they allow the reader to extract a certain amount of humor from them.
Another element in favor of the cartoon of today is the fact that time is at a premium and there are many who find time only for headlines and captions which catch the eye. Cartoons stand out and give a brief and concise story and meet the demand of the hurried.
Chapel seating arrangements at Coe College have been changed for the second semester so that the men and women will be sent together on different sides of the main suite. This plan was made to ensure last semester the aining was changed back to the old Quaker system.
Cartooning is an art and a vital and important part of the day's news. To read them is to gain enjoyment and an understanding of a subject as it appears to one side of the issue.
A pludge to abstain from smoking, the use of intoxicating liquors, objectionable languages, destruction of property, and general bourbon conduct will be requested from all students attending the University of North Dakota.

In answer to last night's enquiry opinion by F, T₂, I would like to take issue with several points of the article.
Editor Daily Kansan:
In the first place, the Codes of the Mystical Ages must have given out the information that the Pantry Part From would find awaiting them something worse than the water in the swimming pool that they planned to swim in, who planned the Pantry and those who attended it did not have time to work with their few guests, whom few they attended the party.

The whole idea of attempting to "crash" another's party is considered unethical. Picture, if you will, memorable encounters with the party, not invitation, the party of another Greek letter organization. It would seem probable that they might suffer worse punishment than the chilly writers of Robinson gymnastics could.
It is a childish thing to attempt force one's self into the presence of those who do not want that person to be present. We have seen how caught were not plodges of some fraternity on their Hell Week activities, and how a lack of preparation for excursion for those seeking the way and light of the mystical order, led to the disorientation and at least one man strayed through.
Nothing is good enough but the best.
