SUNDAY, MARCH 27, 1927 THE DRINKING QUESTION Those who guard the morals of the University students are once more faced with a great problem. Fear has been expressed in authoritative circles that the condition of the city water will drive the students to drink—but not to drink water. Anyway, since the repainting of the big dark gray water tower, the water has been of such quality and taste as to cause a great decrease in consumption for drinking purposes. Furthermore, since the outside was redecorated as well as the inside, trusting freshman women will be unable to find Henley House if they look for a dark gray water tower; it is now silver, If running water through the tower will bring the water back to normal, the students are for more and bigger fires—anything to use quantities of water. They might even be willing to sacrifice one of the University buildings for cremation if the five department would promise to squirt lots of water on the blaze. Now it appears that in addition to the Russian reds helping the Cantoese, the White Russians are helping the Northern Chinese. Rather mean of the Russians to fight their family battles in somebody else's backyard. As a last resort it is thought that the student council may take action and pass a rule against water being in such a condition but such strong measures will be taken only if necessary. FINDING THE RIGHT COURSE Long and drawn out these four years seem to be. But we need only to recall the quick passing of our first score of years to realize that in reality our college days are fleeting, too. In less than three months, the members of the senior class will have received their degrees. In a certain respect half of their lives have been lived, not in reference to the number of years but in reference to experience and attainment. The stage of life characterized by ability to learn quickly, is now over. Growth in stature is completed and the development of the mind will be less active than before. In childhood, we laughed merrily one moment and were weeping the next. One moment brought unlooked for joy; another brought displeasure. As Mrs Wigge of the Cabbage Patch once described it, everything in childhood is either black or white, but on reaching maturity everything turns to dull gray. But now we have learned to lead a more regular life. We have found the middle course between excess and deficiency. When we fall down, we no longer weep. When we see someone else fall, we no longer burst into uncontrolled laughter. We have learned to work, to play, to eat, and to sleep adequately, carrying nothing to either extreme. Even in our virtues we have discovered the mean; liberality lies between avarice and prodigality, modesty between impudence and baushfulness, and courage between cowardice and foolhardiness. Our life of fluctuations is over and its flow in the future will be controlled, smooth, and advantageous to ourselves and to our neighbors. The path to the woods calls us today Come along, Harry, come away! A PATH TO THE WOODS Wild flowery bloom where wee folk play. Come along, come along, come away! Adventure awaits on the way for you Out to the woods Fill lead you through. Younder is waving a columbine Yonder is waving a columbine Tall end slender by the trumpet vine Sunrise and pokeberry we shall see And bloom on the on wild red cherry trees. From up in the blue sky we can hear The earlard call; "What cheer; What cheer!" As children in springtime laugh and run. Louship and buttercup, just for fun. 2. catch at the sunshine and spread it wide Over the meadow and the warm hillside. We go by the brooks whose waters sleep When under the culvert pixies peep. We come to the game the wee falls when Before his parish in prim array, Jack-in-the-pulpit's a pleasing sight. We'll see dutchman's-breches, fun, and white; My lady's slippery a gorgeous thing. Porthia we shall hear the bluebells ring. Pale stars in the sky before we leave Will shine on the ring woodfairies we love So, came along, Hurry, come away— Came out with me to the woods to doubt. By Mary Whitecomb Hess. THE ELOWERS THAT BLOOM IN THE SPRING, TRA, LA APE EXTRA-CURRICULAR Spring has come. Well, what of 12? Changes of seasons are of little significance to college students. If we speak of the weather, we are platinum-niditious mid-winter; and if we dare mention the beauty of external nature, we are moon-eyed catebles. We emerge from the library late in the evening, our brains cluttered with prosaic facts. To walk on the grass would be restful, but the imposing sign, "Follow the walks please," steers us relentlessly from the abstract to the concrete. As we return to our rooms for a few more hours of study, the soft breeze touches our hair, the resilient air enchants us, and the romantic hyphens beckon. Out on the moon-branched campus, the awakening of the vegetable world awakens some beings in which we could eat to save our necks. Whatever it is, it is of no importance, for it won't help us pass a quick next week. We would yield to the temptations of springtime, and spend an hour of sweet indulgence, reclining in the fresh grass under a tree, relaxing our minds, doing nothing but vegetating. We would thus juvenate ourselves, but we don't want to be stigmatized a poet or philosopher or any other brand of idiot. Moreover, we must look toward getting a diploma, so this unbelieving world will believe that we are educated. CHILDHOOD IN SPRING "Ma, ki I go hardfoot? Ki I ma Ia?" Jimmy it! "Tickling of grass, just greeting; prickle of cinders and pebbles; cool mud oozing between toes slowly wringing to get the full satisfying sensation; sneaking to bed without washing grimy feet. Childhood in spring." Miss June Judy, A.B. '24, who underwent a major operation in Chicago recently, is recuperating speedily and will come to Lawrence soon to be with her mother, Mrs. O. M.

Miss Martha Hayes of the University of Missouri has discovered that "gentlemen prefer blondes" in Cuba. Blondes do not have to be even slightly black. They are the half-clad natives. Such expressions as "beautiful golden-haired senator" or "beautiful baby doll" are very common. The native women are mostly Spanish with dark hair and red lips, but the blonde Americans are a novice. Freshmen women at the University of Southern California wear cow girl costumes, consisting of gored flannel skirts, men's flannel shirts, bow ties, sung ensign jackets and vagabond hats.
