ON BEING COLLEGIATE
"Collegiate"一one dictionary gives the meaning,"related to a college," and others assign a similar meaning. We can read or hear of collegiate literature, collegiate athletics, or collegiate drama without flinching, even with a little pride at times; but when it comes to hearing the word handled by merchants and salespeople as the choice adjective in regard to the prevailing mode, it is almost more than any thinking college person can endure.
To be sure, college trousers may be greater in circumference than the established sixteen inches, and college coats may have lost the cape effect from the waist down, but at that, colleges should not be blamed for the sartorial extravagances that sections of the "garment trust" have managed to thrust upon the shoulders of their customers under the missonner of "collegele."
Permanently flipped but bribe, never-turn-down coat over-coat collars, and the eternal bare-headedness of a portion of the younger generation, is entirely in record with the trend of modern fads among college students, but it is no doubt an idiosyncrasy and a temporary convenience with the students, more than it is a showing of law and order in regard to the rules of dress. But such things as these idiosyncrasies and conveniences are promptly seized upon and made a uniform, stereotyped thing by those who never attended college and who don't want people to find it out. Many things are really collegiate, but they're not the glaring styles or ultramodern fads which outsiders deem collegiate.
DO YOU KNOW THIS?
Upon the walls are beautifully patterned rugs from Persia, Turkey, China and Asia Minor. A delicately carved Chinese cabinet is filled with the vases and ornaments which it might have held in its native land. There are other less decorative cabinets containing Chinese and Japanese pottery.
Finely embroidered Chinese priest robes, velvet cords and garments worn by the lower classes are to be found in other cases. Six cases, containing embroideryes and broadens from China, Italy, Greece, India, Persia, and France, stand along the south wall. There is a large collection of ornaments and statuese carved in jade, laquer, amber, coral and ivory which is fascinating. An entire case is given over to the exquisite hair ornaments once worn by Japanese women. Pans of feather and cloth, bearing beautiful designs painted by skilled workmen, are there.
Several collections of American, Dutch, and English silverware are displayed. Ecclesiastical silver and many types of old lamps are included. Statutes representing famous characters and scenes occupy two cases. One of these groups represents the birth of Christ. This was formerly in the home of Prince Massimo in Rome.
Three brass shrines, taken from temple gates of China, are in one corner of the room. A large brass figure of Buddha sits majestically in the center.
In a small room, just off the large one, is a large collection of glass and chinaware from many countries and periods. In another small room is a

collection of early American perio-
furniture, and a model of the Mayflower. A small library, in which may be found excellent books on art and history, in the opposite corner. This collection of art, to be found in the Spooner-Thayer art museum on the northeast corner of the campus, was given to the University by Mrs. Thayer because she thought its students would appreciate it. Few students have shown any appreciation by taking advantage of the opportunity to see this fine collection, although others have come from all ever this region to see it.
New United States paper currency will be twice as tough as that used now, but we hesitate to say that it will last twice as long—at least on Mt. Oread.
If students would investigate, they would discover what a really interesting place this art museum is. It is much too fine a display to miss. See it now and have no cause for regret in later years.
NEW RUSHING AND PLEDG ING/RULES
The Pan-Hellenic council which governs the rusk-week activities of the social fraternities on Mt. Oread has issued a new set of rules which will affect raishing materially next year.
These new regulations place the responsibility of keeping dates; upon the ruhee in an attempt to do away with the foul play that has been practiced by some fraternities in past years. If the rules are violated, the freshman is prohibited from pledging any fraternity for the period of a semester.
The new man, immediately upon his arrival in Lawrence, will go to the office of the dean of men, where he will register, giving his Lawrence address and a list of the dates he has with the social fraternities. In the meantime, he may not go to any fraternity house unless rush week has already started, as the new rules provide that no rushee may be entertained in a fraternity house from Aug. 15 until the first day of rush week.
Furthermore, the rushes must keep at least one date with each fraternity with which he has dates. If he breaks a date with a chapter without keeping at least one date he has promised, he may be declared ineligible to pledge any fraternity until the following semester.
Rush week has been shortened to a three-day period, the hour for pledging now being 10 o'clock Sunday evening for both freshmen and students with advanced standing. No man may be pledged who is not already enrolled in the University.
The new regulations, however, by placing upon the rusher the responsibility of keeping at last one date with each fraternity with whom he has dates, will simplify the rushing activities on the Hill and give all fraternities a better chance at the men they want.
In past years, rushees have often-times allowed dates to be broken with several fraternities with whom they had them after they have decided to pledge a certain one. This has led to confusion, the breaking of dates without giving a fraternity a chance at all the men with whom they had dates, and the hiding out of men by some fraternities.
The Pan-Hellenic council is to be commended upon the improvement it has made over the oid order.
Englishmen view with alarm the recently developed craze among wealthy Americans to buy old English buildings, take them to pieces, ship them to America and reconstruct them. They see in it irreparable damage to monumentes of English history. Only a few days ago an old Elizabethan market hall was sold to an American for $1500. Another house

The xylophone sextet, with the aid of the trap drums and the bass viol filled an important place in the program by its remarkable performance of Liszt's "La Campanella" and the "Mexican Rhapsody."
There was fun, of course, and the audience cried "More." The popular numbers which this orchestra used naked agitation action in feet and tics.

The ability of the musicians was particularly evident. The violinists and cellist had beautiful tones owed to their training, while the phonists were certainly proficient, and the players of the other lighter instruments must come in for a word of praise. The conductor obtained an offer to obtainable from such a combination.
M. E. M. E. Club;
The editorial which appeared in Tuesday's Kansas concerning the University Commons literally hit the nail on the head. There is only one opinion which I have to make and that it wasn't half strong enough.
To really express my reactions to our University's graft-and-pay eating facilities, I have to the limited facilities of the English language, say nothing of our social and literary limitations which cramp any writer who desires to describe physiological imbalances.
The Tipica orchestra not only was something new to Lawrence, it was something new in the art of music. The program's composer was jazz program some were expecting.

Senior Samuel Pedraz, tense, had a beautiful tone, particularly in his high voice. There was an indication of a lack of volume, but this was not noticeable in the songs he presented. The type of male quartette which was used was different from any other, but it was not, though most of us could not understand the words of the humorous songs.

At the Concert
BY JOHN SHUCKLEY
There were limitations when the orchestra had on account of its instrumentation. These were revealed in some of the standard orchestral numbers by "spite" - that fact these numbers were the lowest, and revealed the orchestra at its best. "William Tell" overture, "Dream of Love" and the Hungarian Rhapsody were particularly effective. Beisemo was successful in writing music for his type of orchestra. The "British Mexicano" No. 1 was particularly appropriate for the orchestra, as was the "Walk of the Batter fly".

Since the Commons is here and places there are no immediate problems, it is the government's policy in hand; the government's problem of demotering alcohol night by those in charge. Either make it so that there be more police to those leave it as it is and let it kill
Try as it will, American money cannot buy and transplant traditions. It can only destroy them. Fat Americans, however, so sensitive to their cultural poverty, do not seem to realize that. Money to them still means culture as well as good things to eat.

The English are justly offended at the danger to their historical heritage, and the offense is magnified by the fact that the buildings, when reconstructed here, far out of their historical writing, loss the value of their association.

WHAT DOES IT MATTEN?
- We have ceased to worry, "Eat bread and be merry," we won promise claims, so we still already said it. But we shall not worry about this difficulty; the say is excellent enough to need no revision.
There seems to be a great deal on frowning and needless mental distraction worrying. People are always worrying. They worry about morals. They worry about love and peace and people. They worry about the secret of this monster, Life. They feel about all kinds of triples, trivial matters, and care of the surface caves of the weight at high modern shoulders. Common is the talk of the pleasure to balance the heavy weight on the other side of the scales, which will be a theater or other source of joy. The pleasure was to balance the heavy weight on the other side of the scales, which will be a theater or other source of joy. What difference will it make a thousand years from today? What difference years ago? Those who have lived are dead, and dead forever. Those who have lived will join the greater throng. And those who have lived in a same end for which to look forward! Oblivion. The dead rest easy, and the living are very much. We would rather be a botanist than an empire-builder, a mathematician, a day, but黄金 is cold and lifeless. A botanist is often an object of interest. The true epicurea is a person to be admired.

The University of Oklahoma may employ the Oxford school system if recently announced plans are carried out set forth by Dr Homer L. Dodge, dean.
Doctor Dodge believes that Oklahoma bus, in the decision to transfer the holdings of Kingfisher college to the university, a wonderful opportunity to take the first step toward establishing the Oxford system.
He believes that the creation of independent units might in 'time' result in a great university, co-operative in spirit and on the style of Oxford. "The movement in this direction is good," said Professor Hale, but that this university should be limited to tax supported functions is wrong," said Doctor Dodge.
President W. B, Bizzell of the University of Oklahoma has written a book "The Green Rising" which is to help children with learning the Macmillan company of New York.
The book explains the agricultural problem, the cost war price debacle and farm relief in politics. Doctor Joseph A. Sterner writes about data and data for his book while preen-

"The big difference I have noticed so far between mid-west and Pacific ocean basketball," reads the article, "is that they are the mid-west, especially in Kansas, Indiana and Ohio, whereas out here it is a socialized game. Missouri basketball is faster and more open, with more interesting for spectators."
