THE VALUE OF TIME
The services of the library are in greater demand just now perhaps than at any other time of the year.
It would appear that the library force is made up of a set number of employees, and that no allowances or provisions are made for enlarging the number to meet the demands which arise at such times as this.
A student having filled out the regulation card which enables him to obtain a book from the stacks, presents it at the desk, and then what? The laboratory takes the card and disappears behind the large doors leading to the rows of bound knowledge.
The first ten minutes pass fairly rapidly, but after that time the student undergoes a feeling of anxiety, wondering if the librarian has become lost in the stacks or if he has fallen down the elevator shaft. But no, such is not the case, for in about ten minutes more the librarian returns, and if the student is fortunate he will receive the desired book. But too often he is greeted with the words "I'm sorry, but the book is out," or "I'm down at the bindery," and twenty or thirty minutes have been lost. The student must then look up another book and by the time he finally obtains one, there are only about thirty minutes left for him to study.
Many valuable moments have been wasted in this manner, to say nothing of the lessons which go unprepared. If those in charge of the facilities would increase the force at such reasons as this, it would be greatly appreciated by those who value their time.
The local house of Commons seems to be following precedent in building up its reputation by arguments and refutations.
Conference on Parental Education to Be Held—Kansas headline. Wonder if it will be worth while. We have not been able to learn of any students on the program.
It was an unusual opportunity that was offered to University and Lawrence people this afternoon, when a man of such prominence and genus as John Van Druten consented to talk to them. Mr. Van Druten is a successful and well known English dramatist, and incidentally the author of "Young Woody," the play which opens at the Schubert theater in Kansas City next Monday.
MANY OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
It is not often that such men as Mr. Van Druten are persuaded to meet with students at the University. Yet we have had here within the past two years Sinclair Lewis, A. Bruce Curry, Sherwood Eddy, Tso Yon Wang, Dudley Craft Watson, Leonard Richmond, William Allen White, Victor Murdock, and others of the same caller representing as many more fields, art, religion, literature, science, and politics.
To get the most out of his University education, a student must take advantage of the cultural and educational advantages offered in addition to regular class work. Students often never realize half of the things
SILLY TEARS
After I'd been with sleeping
Hundreds of days I thought how quiet I shall be
After a hundred years.
How纵目 above me
The grim will blow about,
While other纵目 girls will be
Draught their kerriecks out.
by Elizabeth Ball in Haldeman-Julius Quarterly
that are taking place on the campus until their senior year. Then they look back with regret on the time spent at mpatients and in "fooling around" which could have been spent in so many other ways, more interesting, entertaining and stimulating, besides yielding more valuable returns. Literary lectures, art exhibits, and forums are all attended by practically the same group of junior and senior students. They could be called the "intelligentizan" save for the fact that the term might be misleading; for numbers of the same students are seen also at variates and other social functions. They are not "sisies" or "prudes," but a group of students who have grown wiser, and have learned to choose the worth while things.
Many students are blithely going through the university, no doubt making good grades, but not awake to the many advantages and opportunities waiting for them outside of the classroom.
Contrary to general belief the Law, don't use their heads—witness the staircomb ring around the middle of the base of the Uncle Jimmy statue.
LEARN TO LIKE IT
College is a place in which to acquire not only an education, but culture, and it is rather deplorable that so many miss so much of the latter. One of the most pleasant and profitable ways in which to brush the viewpoint and become familiar with some of the beauty of life is to study the art exhibitions which are offered so frequently for the benefit of the student. It takes such a few minutes to visit the exhibition room in west Administration building, and there are some very fine things to be found there. Many students have not even seen the Brynwood collection, which is a permanent possession of the University, and in which there are some splendid oils.
It is an advantageous to any person who calls himself educated to be able to appreciate and discuss the arts as it is to know Spanish grammar or to be able to use the rule or know what a dynamo is.
It is doubtful if many of the people who know the life history of Shakespeare, Napoleon, Pasteur or Aristotle are familiar with Michael Angelo, Rembrandt or Van Dyke. How many of the same people can distinguish between pastels and oils and water colors, or between eichings, woodcuts and ink and sketches?
Those who are interested in paintings, the lovely blending of colors, harmonious shades and noble themes are more appreciative of all beauty around them. If you but look for it there are rich colorings all about you; purples and reds and yellows that the average eye does not see. In fact that is the mission of the artist to paint things for us that we ourselves cannot see. But how much more pleasure we could derive from them if we would but look with the eyes of an artist—we have only to open them, and see.
In all large cities and even the sma towns people are making a figit against the automobile driver who speed is a menace to lives of the corn munity.
SHALL WE ACT NOW?
On this campus the same sort of amenace confronts the students, that of continually watching out for some speed demon. Legislation has been passed and definite laws governing speeding and parking are both on the books. The fault lines in the fact that neither of these are being enforced. The time has come to enforce these laws before a life is unnecessarily snuffed out due to the negligence of loose law enforcement. Just the other day a student was forced to place his hands on the fender of a moving car to throw himself out of its path. Act now and enjoy the results, act later and be sorry.

You're cheating—if you use the functior library to get through your course. You're cheating yourself of that very thing you came to college to obtain.
Campus Opinion
The note book which you retype
verbatim, the term theme you copy
for your writing course, the semester
problem you "borrow" from a senior
brother's brain are the things out of
which you are cheating yourself.
And for what reward—merely a grade, a passing mark in a course. What good does it do you otherwise?
Free textbooks will be supplied to all students who work at Leland Stanford University.
Can't you think of experience, every experience you have, as an adventure? So that everything you do and ever think is an adventure which inevitably does something to your personality? And each happening broadens you or it doesn't.
A group of Missouri women announce that they have formed a nongossip club.
When you client you warp your personality and deprive yourself of an invaluable chance for adventure.

As an incentive for better satisfaction at the Commons, I would suggest that whoever is responsible take a couple of samples from the teria, get a few tips, and sample the food that is handed out to multitudes of people. I say my mittitudes and I mean it.
To go there at meal time one has the impression that every man, women and children who are served. Why such crowds? That's easy to guess. The patrons get liberal servings of deliciously cooked meats and poultry, which is spotlessly clean from the front door to the backyards white and yellow in full view, and he is one of our brave.
They accommodate their students by giving them all the work there is to do. They also help us believe the education they desire. I have seen 1,700 people served at one time with no confusion. They have written books for teachers to serve the customers almost at a walking gait; each customer carry a laptop and to the counter when through with it.
For 15 cents one can get a satisfying lunch, and 25 will give you enough money to buy a drink. For course, for the benefit of the students; but the fare was so appetizing that they take in such numbers than finally capacity was taxed to the utmost. The corporation that brought them away was forced to service charges outsiders to limit the number. No student walks home there to keep the door open when the bus does do here. The writer used to walk 10 blocks for the noodley meal, passing half a dozen restaurants in order to get the food.
"Badgadies" is to be the eighth musical comedy to be presented by the School of Journalism at the University of Missouri.

Just where do the styles come from, anyway?
In England, of course, the matter has been made very simple. The whole thing is left up to the Prince of Wales.
You can see at once how easy that makes the clothes question for the Britishers —
When the Prince takes a quiet stroll about London, accompanied by a regiment or two of cavalry and six military bands, all the villagers take careful note of the royal costume.
Then each loyal subject rushes over to Bond Street and buys one exactly like it.
Over here, we have no Prince worth putting in the saddle, and the movie heroes are too jealous of each other for any one of them to take the lead. There’s nothing to do—when it comes to college clothes at least—but let the styles be decided by the men who are going to wear them. Sounds rather reasonable, at that. Our college men know clothes and they have their own ideas as to what they want to wear. We’d back their judgment against that of royalty any day!
