Talks On William Howell
Miss Morgan Tells Story of Writer's Life
"Do you read to get away from the world around you or to get some light on it?" asked Miss Rose Morgan, assistant professor of English, in a lecture on "William Doe-hwells," for freshmen yesterday after her final exam. "You are a romanticist; if she written, a realist," she continued.
"William Dean Howells was a realist," she said. "He had a strong sympathy for individuals and a story in everyone he met. He was one of the most kindly and genial critics. His stories settled on a clear character development. He dealt with social as well as individual problems. His interest in social conditions led him to try to work out a social theory. The best way to know Howells is to read his autobiographical sketches. The two outstanding qualities which mark him out as a true writer are his sensitivity. He was a vivid recorder of American life and an elder brother to all of us."
The lecture on "William Dean Howell" was the first of a series of lectures on contemporary literature to be given by the members of the department of English for the freshmen of the University. The lecture was held at 206, Fraser Hall, Wednesdays at 4:30, during the spring semester.

Frieda Hempel has has thirteen superstitions—some complicate, some weird, some unique—but the superstition in daily use is the simple, harmless one, "Turn to the left." Occasionally Miss Hempel has to go to the right, but the enforced change of the situation is likely to upset her whole day.

Ask the stage manager of the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, or any other stage manager where Miss Hemper's dressing room is located. They all tell you the same thing. "To the left." If the word "left" makes you sound like "when her cue comes, so much the better. If she cannot without tangle up the scene, she follows the stage directions, but stops before the footlights left foot first. On a concert tour the prima donna still sticks to the led, and the local managers advised which dressing room to dust.
Miss Hempi fastens her furs on the left shoulder wears flowers on the left side of her grown claps her arm above the other ornamentes to the left hand.
Hell Week in all its fury has descended upon the University of Kansas. Ere the mystic rites of Greek letterdom can be divulged to a mere pledge, he must undergo tortures and torments equaled only by those of the gods; they're baited they're bruised, they're humbled, they're made fool of!
Shy Frosh Appear On Campus As Brick-layers, Egg Peddlers, Prima Donnas,During Hell Week
The scullers, as the piedges are fittingly called, must on all occasions, under penalty of severe padding, adhere to high and mighty beings as 'My Lord.'
Shy, bashful freshies who abide in some of these houses where absolute despotism holds sway, are each presented with an ear of corn and given these instructions, namely: whenever they meet a young lady, they must eat colored cakes three grains of corn, 'Chicky', chicky, chicky'
The favorable indoor sport of the Lords in one of these dens of terror is "penny snooting." The idea of the game is to have the scuffs race pennies across the rugs with their snoots. The results are often disastrous (to the snoots, not the pennies).
Another group of these decopts has a law on their statue books to the effect that no matter when or where the frat whistle is heard, the scallions must either take three steps out of their hands or put them on their hands and knees and bark. The effect is quite picturequease, especially when boarding a street car.
Ever-immaculate Beau Brummel freshies are being transformed into regular hill-billows in appearance by the collaboration of their Gillottes for six whole days.
And, to add insult to injury, the fairer sex is tabooed during this strenuous week. Most of the servile beings would gladdly undergo any and all of the other tortures, but this—this is the last straw.
One day it looked as if a brick-layers' convention was in session on the campus. A nice, soft red brick reposed粉 coodle fashion in the arms of each pledge belonging to one of the brothershadows. In the pocket of some repose what is known in frat lings and pledges, but there are infectious and artful doffer to keepogs intact in a pocket during a morning rush on Mount Oread.
In another domicile a form of exercise is provided in this manner: a bucket of the water is placed at the foot of the staircase, an empty bucket on the third-floor landing—and two pledges, crawling on all fours, empty the bucket at the bottom and the bucket on the third floor by means of their mouths, only.
Among the sorrows life is not quite so strenuous—but nearly so. At one house the telephone is answered in this manner: "I'm a verdant and insignificant freshman at the school. To whom do you wish to snack?
Frank L. Weaver, fs 72, e23, presented to the library of the University of Kansas Feh. 10, 1923, the eight volumes of the works of Luther Burbank on "How Plants Are Trained to Work" by Robert H. Wesley, fw 340 pages and include information about Burbank's plant improvements.
At some sorority houses all the hose that the members can resurrect are darned by the lower-classmen—a labor of love, they say.
Spooner Library Receives Books by Luther Burbank
Still another house furnishes their pledges with tooth brushes with which to scrub the front steps.
Mr. Weaver hopes for the raising of standards in rural communities and in this way expects that farm life
And so on and on—
"Theirs is not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die;
Go the frat pledges."
will be made more attractive. According to Mr. Weaver, "There is a large proportion of young men and women from the farms who do not go back to their original business." He wishes to lower this proportion.
War has been declared on fraternities at the University of Colorado. The "Order of Commons" is attempting to enlist the aid of all non-fraternity students in stamping out he organizations.
