Two Filipino Boys Discover Kinship by Attending K. U
G
Communication in Island So Poor Cousins Never Heard of Each Other
Two Filipino boys, filled with a desire to study in the American schools went to their parents with a plea for help. They were not alone. Others, unknown to each other, but with the same purpose before them—that of becoming teachers in the Philippines—these two gained the necessary skills to set out for the dis- United States.
One of these, Leon Cruz Garcia, left morong, on the Island of Rizal, in May, 1929 with three companions, "A week before, I longed to be off," he told a reporter. "When the day came to leave, however, I could scarcely stand to take up my baggage. But if I am gullied in France, and there with his three Filipino friends went to high school.
Hears of K. U.
After graduation from this school, Leen entered San Matteo Junior College. Leen Pauscal, a former student at the University of Kansas, who was transferred to the University of Florida, turning to the Islands, met Gracie and told him of the university on Mr. Orend. So to Kansas came this young man to complete his course in the School of Business, leaving behind him to have come to America with him.
The other boy, Meliquidas Crus Papa, finished his high school education in Manila and entered Manilal University. He, too, decided to come to America to attend a public system which was being introduced into his country from the United States. Gaining the consent of his parents, he left Manila in May, 1925, just five years to the day, and set out from the neighboring island.
Merquined, or Mel as he is known,
did not pause in San Francisco, but
boarded a train for Chicago. There
he determined on botany for his major
and selected the University of
California school in which to
finish his work.

Work at Same Fraternity
At the University they were employee of the school. One day they talked about their homes and their parents in the Philippines. "Who is your father?" one asked. "Who is your mother?" they
"Cruz," they both answered the latter interrogation, "Your island?" "Manila," and "Rizal," they replied to their own questions.
Uneqnawned with each other in the Islands, not knowing in fact that the other exited, these two Filipino boys met in the United States and discovered that they were first cousins. Inability to communicate accounted for their marriage married men from different islands and became separated so that they knew nothing of each other for nearly twenty-five years.
Now a chance meeting of their sons enrolled in a University in a foreign country is the best way to build together. Employed by the same organization and both belonging to the University Cosmopolitan Club, Leon and Mel have become close friends.
"Mel lute?" asks the cook at the sorority house, or "Leen not here yet?"
"No, but that does not matter," the other replies. "You know we're cousins and don't mind working for each other."
W. S. G. A. Holds Last Meeting for This Year
No more meetings of W. S. G. A. will be held this year, according to Rose McColback, c28, president. "The business for this year has been quite slow, but now until the close of school is so "died that it seemed advisable to discontinue the meetings," she said.
At the regular meeting last Tuesday night it was decided to hold a Wednesday night instead of on Tuesday night. Dean Agnes Husband was present at the last meeting and talked to the new members of the W. S. G. A. council. Plans were discussed and a fall. The first regular meeting next fall will be announced later.
According to reports, the football games of 448 leading colleges in the United States were attended by more than 25,000,000 persons last season.
Texas University recently passed a ruling forbidding women in the school to have more than three dates a week.
Topographical Situations of American Universities Have Certain Distinct Advantages
Why is it that when a man or a state conceive the idea of a great university, they almost inevitably and instinctively choose the highest point on the landscape for the site? In the old days a philosophical significance was attached to high ground in an implied metaphor connecting the heights of learning to be reached by students. It can be another motive today when philosophy often gives way before science and hard headed business.
One might be prone to become cynical about the application of the metaphor when climbing one of the avenues to Mt. Orland in the cold gray of winter and then going down on his heels after a gravity-sheet storm. In the fall, however, when the tang of front and football is in the air, or in the spring when foliage and fuzzy returns, the metaphor serves as an eye opener before 8:30.
Someone has suggested that a university is no place for lazy people. This is double true of the institution built on a hill. Anyone who has the ambition to accord to the heights every morning for four years has in him the motivation to work hard that his journey is only half completed when he reaches the top, and no rest availats at the journey's end.
Since Mt. Oread in the basic fact underlying K. U., there must be some consolation for the fact that it does exist. Did you ever stand between the geology building and the new auditorium and look out over the valley? Down below are the tennis courts, the sports fields and football practice fields of the University swarming with athletes striving in piggy contests in the distance. Plowed fields and pastures spread out in irregular triangular like patches of grass, forming the horizon, winds the ribbon of trees which swish the course of the Wakarusan, leading the eye to the left past the smokestack of Hassell Institute, and bringing it on the hazy slopes of Blue Mound.
Toward the north there is the great bend of the Kaw with a column of railroad piers resembling the teeth of a comb. There is a glimpse of the uptown section of Lawrence, and caerner, neetling in the hollow of the horse-shoe-shaped Hill lies the stadium.
It it thus appears that a disadvantage is turned into an advantage, and the scenic and physical development possibilities of the Hill offset its inconveniences. No wonder the hill is the home of the American University!
Questionnaires Sent to Alumni Bring Many Curious Answers; Law Graduate Chases Rabbit
"Love and kisses to the class of 1902."
"Sorry I can't be there but am spending my time chasing jack rabbits off the wheat."
These were two of the answers that were received from alumni of the class of 1962 in reply to invitations to attend the class reunion this spring. Both these answers were also graduates of the School of Law.
The alumni office sent questionnaires to several hundred members of the classes that are going to have class reunions during commencement.
Theta Phi Alpha Sorority Observes Alumnae Day
week. The information they asked for included such questions as: Are you married? Is she a college graduate? Have you any children; if so how many? Will you, and how many more, be here for the class reunions? What is your vacation, avocation and hobbies?

THERE is nothing like the newspapen for reaching everybody, everywhere, everyday.
It takes the messages of presidents and premiers to the people and it carries the voice of the nation back to them. Banker and laborer, office and home, are linked in the democracy of its news and comment.
No other medium places advertising so impartially and so forcefully before all the people, regardless of race and creed and condition. $ ^{*} $

Are You the Man Who "Never Reads Advertisements"？
Some men, who are neither blind nor illiterate, claim sincerely that they "never read advertisements."
Advertising has formed his opinions to a great degree. He may have received
Yet, if you could investigate, in each case you would find that the man who "never reads advertisements" used an advertised tooth paste or shaving cream or soap. If he owns an automobile it will be an advertised car. If you ask his opinion of any automobile he will reply in words that might have been lifted bodily from an advertisement of that automobile.
his information through others who obtained their knowledge from advertising. But it is a fact that no man can escape the effect of advertising even if he does say he "never reads advertisements."
Not one of us ever reasoned out entirely from his own mind that the earth is round. If we had not read it or heard it we would never have known it.
In these days of good, truthful, helpful advertising to say, "I never read advertisements" is merely your way of saying, "I don't read all advertisements."
