HONORARY ORGANIZA TIONS?
Not long ago a student wrote home to his mother and in a manner highly elated told her that he had just been imitated into the honorary organization of Black Helmets. His mother was naturally glad to hear that an honor had come to her pride and joy but her son's letter had not quite explained the matter to her. Consequence she wrote back, asking for what the organization was honorsy
This rather stumped the young fellow. It had never occurred to him to wonder about it, but now he had to make some answer to his mother and the matter puzzled him. He did some honest thinking and the only requisite that he could think of was that of being a good politician. But he didn't want to tell his mother that. She probably wouldn't be able to see why that needed honoring. So he wrote and told her frankly that he didn't know. On later inquiring he found that no one else could give him a satisfactory answer.
There are several other organizations on this campus which exemplify this same puzzling anomaly. The society of Sphinx might serve to group the freshman into political units, but that is largely accomplished through fraternities beforehand and the organization seems rather a duplication of effort. The most easily discovered purpose of the Owl society is to publish the Sour Owl. This would be perhaps sufficient to justify its existence if the society combined as a whose to put it over. This is, however not the case. After electing the board the rest of the members sit back and watch the board put it out. The board could be chosen more easily and a great deal more efficiently by some organization better suited for that type of activity.
These organizations are all honor ary, but for what?
The average college student pays $365 annually for education secured in the United States.
IT'S MARBLE TIME IN BOY DOM
About this time of the year mothers are experiencing some of the effects of the great American game for the schoolboy. And not a few of the lashes, of a somewhat "tomboyish" type, enter into the thrills of the fray. Every mother knows that grimny knuckles, threadbare stockings, worn and dusty trouser knees, and a pocked bulging with the rattling "glazes," "chalkies" and "argies" mean. And even teachers come in for their share the fun with decks overflowing with the spoils that Jimnie and Johnie have won by their advenience and skill with the slippery and multicolored agates. No, it's not all basalche for the American youth, for the little old fascinating game of marbles, that every red-blooded boy would rather play than eat, comes in for its
share of the limelight in childma-
trity. Surely it's the game that every man
and every boy has indulged in at some time in his life. At about the age of eight or ten it is most effective.
Look around you in Lawrence. Down on the ground is a group of boys on their knees with "knuckles down" sending their favorite "aggrie" careening in the direction of beautiful candy-colored marbles that they want to put in their bulging marble sack—for they are playing "keeps." The surest shot wins in this game as in others.
"Ven dups," a little fellow cries jumping up and down with assorted "antees" in his pocket playing a tune familiar to boyville. "I said dupes," overrules his mighter opponent with a covetous glance toward "easy meat." A familiar crack and the game is over.
"Wanta play sum more?" proudly mumbles the winner.
"Shure," rings the battle cry from he bunch.
Then again comes "lagging for"
"line," cries of "first," "second",
"last," more about "taws," lines in
and out," fudged," knucks down,
"no cleanies and cleanies," "roundies,"
"dibs," and other vernacular of
this sport. And thus continues the games
of the same sort on every street and
vacant lot.
But let them play, fathers consent and mothers affirm, even though it does mean more meandering, daring, and washing. It is one of the bright spots of boyhood, second only to the old swimmer' s hole. No man ever begrudged a minute spent thus in his boyhood; so play on marble players and fill bags to full capacities; board your "glasses" and "aggries" as the minor does his gold; some day you will grow up and be proud of the time you "cleared the whole gang."

Student Opinion
The Chamber of Commerce, by allowing the students to have their annual night shirt parade after the first football game, has lessened the significance of a tradition as old as the sport itself.
traditions, the very backbone of every university, are laughed into unconscionious, if not death, at the University of Kansas.
Now the last vintage of pep, the set great tradition—the friendly riad relationship between two schools—has been uninterrupted, merely because, in a city where a few fellows could not sat with the grapes and could not temper their tempers.
The freshman cap tradition is slowly losing its significance.
The clash between the engineers and the laws resulted in damage to the equipment located by the engineering students Damage done to personal property of

the law students should not be included because that damage was the result of their own impulsive actions.
The papers over the state have given wrong publicity to the affair. Many parents have wired or written to their boy wanting to know if he were injured and what damage had been done to the buildings.
It seems that a rivalry which has become traditional as has that between the two schools has rivalry between classes or schools which has rivalry between classes or schools which is tra

Former Kansas people who are in New York or near there are editing a paper which they have given a name as near like that of the Daily Kansan as possible. The publication is known as the Gaily Kansan, and has its slogan, "An irresponsible, I irregular, Irrespectible Reminder of the Big Picture," particularly to the banquet they held last Friday in New York City.
Sometimes it does, sometimes doesn't
Jayhawks Flown
It's mostly just a bore.
The Gaily Kansan makes use of the cartoon too. It pictures, first the young man and his sweetheart with a note below saying, "Bring Her," then next there is a silhouette of a baby, the note saying, "Bring the Kilds," and last we see the flapper with her pet dog and the note, "Bring me both."
Murdock Pemberton, the mathematical press agent, says that if all the kids who attended the Hipodromp this year ate nut sundaes the entire output of three California pean groves to fill the orders.
Howard Miller, with Siren伯尔的 is back from a long trip in the West. After contributing to the Memorial Fund, Howard went out at once on an expense account, his friends jok 'nurls say.
There are a number of interesting items under the heading, "Personal and Local." Some of these follow:
Earl Gafford, A. B. '07, is to be made an officer of a downtown bank. Alice Rankin Gafford, A. B. '07, is the news first in the Daily Kansas.
Olien Dillherd, A.B. '17, and A.M. 20 avens the dinner Friday will be his last good meal before he signs up in June for three squares at home. Hope she doesn't burn the biscuits, Olip.

On Other Hills
Members of the staff of the Scalper, numerous campus publication of the University of Texas, are given the choice of resigning from the paper or leaving the university, in an ultimate presented by President Robert E. Vinson. The president acted on request of the Statewide Police Committee. The students are given until May 5 to decide if they will quit the paper or the school.
The Signal Corps of the Ohio State University recently broadcasted the first radio program ever sent out from that institution. President Thompson opened the program with a speech, and several other addresses. Concerts are to be broadcasted in the future, according to plans.

The new political parties of Grimm College have based their platforms on the fraternity question. The non-fraternity party has listed seven reasons why Grimm should not have secret fraternities. These reasons embody three main concepts. They are secret fraternities are bad for athletes, they are bad for the student, and they are bad for the college.
