ANSWER THE CHALLENGE THE ORIGINAL CHALLENGE The original date set for the ending of the Y, W. C. A. finance campaign has just passed, yet its budget has not been reduced, yet it would seem that enthusiasm is lacking, considering the thousand woman students and woman faculty members on the Hill. When a state institution as large as the University of Kansas fails to support its own Y. W., particularly in view of the fact that the amount asked was small, the reason assigned is lack of information. Every University woman should realize that the Y. W. is one of the most powerful influences for good that the University affords; that it furnishes to both men and women what the state fails to give—the one social center of the campus, commonly known as Henley house. It organizes thinking groups of students who strive to bring out the best in their fellows. From these groups have evolved and will evolve some of the best thinkers who have ever gone forth from this school to become K. U.'s honored alumni. Moreover, the Y. W. C. A. lends prestige. It signifies that there are women who are interested in making Christian ideals the cornerstone of their lives. There is a challenge to the women of the University, a dare to realize the full value and necessity of the Y. W. C. A. on their campus. Every woman on the hill must make her own answer to the challenge within the next few weeks. When she makes a new pledge to Y. W. C. A. support either in an investment of money, or efforts an time, she is accepting a dare to make the most of her own time and experience. "Pippa Passes" but she is might apt to stumble and furnish a lot of amusement for the Laws. TO THE SHOWERS THROUGH DIFFICULTIES An editor of the University Daily Kansas recently conceived an idea, as editors sometimes do, that a little gymnastic work away from the drone of the type writers would clean his muddled brain, so he wrapped a copy of the Police Gazette around a towel and his "shorts" and proceeded to Robinson to do his dumb-bell exercises. Now when the editor applied for a locker wherein to park his soaks and necklace he was informed that all were taken, and that two persons were using the same locker in a number of cases. After a half hour' gruelling search he found a friend who was in with a friend who would disclose the combination. The editor proceeded to do his stunts on the dummy rowing apparatus. "When we were youths wearing the freshman cap," he said, "the physical director told us that exercise was essential to our upkeep, and vital to our health, and under no consideration could we be excused from gym. "Now we haven't played on the see-saw horses, nor done the standing nose dive on the mats for a long time, and when we beg for the opportunity, we are handicapped because of locker facilities. We can't hang our B. V. D.'s on a shoe tree, erome someone make away with them." Clearly, with the growth of the University and the added impetus for athletics and gymnastic work, the locker rooms for both men and women have become too crowded. There is need of more space. Why should a journalist, or a lawyer, or a fine arts student, if he wants to frelle on the "horsez," or skip the rope tra in, and take a refreshing shower after the vigorous exercise, he handicapped for want of a locker? The famous Tancredio Lopez is dead. The medicine that men make lives after them. SHALL PEACE DESCEND ON GREEKS? This is the question: Would the "preferential voting" system of bidding as adopted by sororities at the University of Missouri this fall be a remedy for the wholesale breaking of rushing rules such as occurred recently on the K. U. campus? Undoubtedly the present system of rushing rules is far from satisfactory or it would not be so freely slaughtered. Perhaps the rules are not openly broken but in many cases one mages to get around them in some fashion or other in order to gain the desired end—or rather, the desired woman. Under the preferential system, every sorority gives a list of the rushes it desires to a neutral party at the end of rush week. Each rushes also fills out a blank on which she places her first, second, third and fourth choices of sororites. The neutral party matches up the lists of the sororities with the preferences of the rushes. No one else sees the lists. Of course, even in this system, a woman might be secretly pledged before the end of the week if any organization cared to stoop to such a thing; and thus the matter of filling the blanks would become a mere form. But there is less opportunity for getting around the rules than there is in the looser rushing system. M. U. found the system successful in producing fewer injured feelings and a much better feeling among the women of different groups at the end of rush week. It might be worth trying on the K. U. campus. 2 GATHERING THE FAMILY TOGETHER Seldom does the entire University have an opportunity to spend an informal evening together as one big family. Occasionally a chalk talk proves to be all talk and no chalk. But Friday night several thousand students, together with many faculty members and visiting Dads and Mothers, will gather in the gymnasium for a real Halloween party. Nearly every talent will be represented among the stunts in an effort to entertain Dad and the rest of the family. There will be a bit of Hawaiian music, a witch's dance, a male quartet and a sure enough Halloween Minstrel company. Later in the evening the orchestra will tune up and give everyone a chance to "trip the light fantastic" among the corstalskins in the light of vierd orange moons. Probably no other activity of the year typifies more clearly the true college atmosphere than does an all-University party. It provides an opportunity to meet new friends, to spend an enjoyable evening and to drink still further of that真 K. U spirit of loyalty, democracy and good fellowship. Students are planning it all, decorations, stunts, eats and everything. Everybody come out and help make it live up to its name of being a real all-University party!

It provides faculty members, and any one interested in University safety responsibly for anything herein proven all concordance as the evidence of care. The Valve is a Care Unit Address: Daryl Kearn Care Uni- To the Editor: Another characteristic of the great American kicker seems to be his willingness to draw inaccurate and rapid-fire conclusions from a printed bulletin, which he uses in the Safety-Value column, how the honorary colonel was chosen last year, and in what manner it was decided to allow the whole senior clausa to elect her. We know all that before we create our letter, and wb to repeat. the unit approves of the election of an honorary colonel by the whole senior class is a question. The K, O, T. C, as a body has not been consulted in regard to the manner in charge of the honorary leader should be chosen." Last year the position was filled by appointment through the senior officers of the unit. Whether or not Our first letter furnished amusement. We are glad of that, for amusement is indispensable. It also requires diligence and hard work, for induration fosters progress. Leaving out our usual flery style we will say simply this. The senior class as a whole has not enough interest in the R. O. T. C unit to have the privilege of electing its honorary president, although it has been consulted in the matter, which it would be more interested in than the whole senior class. Let the unit look after its own interests by electing its own honorary colonel. --where Society Brand Clothes are sold J.
