FRIENDSHIPS
How many men and women of the University do you know intimately? How many are there with whom you have a speaking acquaintance? Do you know the name of the student who sits on your left in philosophy and on your right in English? Are they diffident, retiring people who can't take the initiative in getting acquainted? Are you helping them find that warm human interest which each craves?
Have you considered that possibly some individuals are so lonely and morbidly sensitive that they keep back fearing they will not be welcome? And yet, have you noticed how their faces lighted up with pleasure when you greeted them cordially?
Although a man is strong-willed, there is nothing that will weaken or make a wanderer of him sooner, than to have his associates shun and forget to make him one of their number.
Instead of making merry within your own gay circle of friends to the exclusion of strangers; draw the other fellow in.
The best argument for education is people.
SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED
The Washington conference has struck boldly at some of the most fruitful sources of the present world maldistinction; it has dealt in an outstanding way with facts; its adjournment will mark the accomplishment of great works. Yet the success of the 1921 Disarmament Conference will be looked upon by people living a hundred years from now not for what was said there or what was agreed upon there, but for the fact that it led calmly and sanely to other subsequent meetings. The Washington parley has opened the way, the logical way, to "open covenants openly arrived at."
The present maze of world affairs is too complicated to be disentangled at one time. No one should expect it to be. The disarmment question itself, though relatively simple compared with other modern world problems, is an unprecedented subject for discussion. The Far East proposition is somewhat more delicate and involved. The European tangle is not only perplexing with all its economic, historical, moral and political aspects, but is doubtless the most immediate of the world problems. A happy solution of all these knotted questions can scarcely be expected at one meeting. It must be evolved.
The present conference may arrive at a decision concerning the scrapping of battle ships, which in itself, be a fine thing. Such a step would not only be a great lightening of tax burden from the sadly depleted purses of the world but would lend a splendid hope to the war sickened spirit of humanity. It must not be overlooked however, that the same forces which have drawn the world into its present close relations—into the sociological compactness which has caused the friction of late—will continue. To cast away battle ships and to restrict the number of soldiers that each nation may maintain does not mean that war is to be forever stiffed. It is perfectly conceivable that fighting powers will not use such trappings in the future. Power may provide, and surely will provide if they are needed, other new and more effective devices than ships that sail on the sea and guns that shoot mere lead and iron. The significant aspect of the ten year naval holiday, if it becomes a reality, is the fact that it has been agreed upon.
The Far East situation with its China-disorganized, abused; its Japan-overcrowded, restless; its islands
—strategic, coveted, looms large. And yet, with a decent recognition of one another's rights by the interested nations, which, by the way, has been largely made possible by open discussion at the present meeting, this question can be taken care of temporarily at least. The growth of Japan and the natural expansion of that race will make a future problem inevitable there.
But what calls most imperatively for immediate settlement is Europe. The terrible chain of reparations, inflation, demoralized trade and impending collapse is entwined there with the cable whose strands are national fears, national prejudices, secular jealousies, and contemporary interests. While the economic and financial conditions of the European countries are not uncommon for post war times, the fact that these conditions are so widespread makes recovery slow and the dangers of the situation more acute. National sacrifices are yet to be made before conditions there are righted. The necessary sacrifices will b made, and without a war. But the plan for it all will not be decided upon in a few weeks of parleying.
So, the big, the hopeful thing about the Disarmament Conference is the tradition, the habit of getting together it has initiated. This not too ambitious step taken at Washington gives hope that international understanding will come about on the basis of national needs and national willingness to sacrifice rather than on the visions and theories of a few months meditation by plenipotentiaries. Four-power pastas are side issues beside the predominant international understandings that will result from the present sessions.
Plain Tales from the Hill
The influence of convocation attendance upon the creative minds of the students is made apparent by the receipt of this poem. The peculiar cadence, the irregularities in the rhyme system, and the decided eccentricities of meter may be accounted for by the fact that the poem was submitted to the editor, labelled:
With Apologies to Vachel Lindsay
There are Profs that make you happy
There are Profs that make you glad
But the Profs who make you sad,
Are the Profs that roam the campus,
Armed with flunks and incomplete
Seeking prey like ancient Greeks,
are they?
With strong eyes, bold eyes, wicked eyes, and weak eyes,
With cross eyes, dim eyes, never-to-be-forget eyes.
And when they've found you in the class room,
You seem to flow, flow, flow through space
As they madly, gladly tell you of your fate.
Armed with flunks and incomplete
Sobbing paw like ancient Creeks.
With strong eyes, bold eyes, wicked eyes and weak eyes.
tin cross eyes, dim eyes, never-to-be-forgot eyes!
—L. O. F.
When is Attire Not A Tire?
An argument was being carried on in an Ancient History class in which various activities of the Old Romans were discussed as to the amount of work done by them and the time put in on each occupation.
"Well," dubiously a Freshman girl, "if they were so very busy when did they find time to change attire so
"I don't think," the professor evaded the question suddenly, "that they had automobiles in the old Roma dome."

The prize orchestra, known as the Tar Baby five, of the University of North Carolina, according to the Tar Heel, has been engaged by excursion stater Guy Clemens and his team at The Salem-Salem excursionists for a tour of the Mediterranean.
Fraternity men at Northwestern are dressing dolls to show the way they think co-eads should dress. The idea was initiated by a sorority at the Purple school with the end in view of trying to ascertain the masculine viewpoint on feminine dress. This is right in line with Northwestern when it is recalled that one year the Purple school abandoned baseball and inaugurated a whist tournament instead.
As part of their initiation of five pledges of Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity, at the University of Texas, they will do the journalistic work of publishing the Daily Texan for one day, garbed in cotton and wearing a quill over the left ear. This is a traditional part of Sigma Delta Chi initiation ceremonies.

Which is the cheaper and more efficient? Mailing out six thousand circular letters in telling them of new articles you have to sell, or an advertisement in the Kansan?
The circulars will cost $60.00 for postage; printing $25.00; paying labor to insert letters $6.00. The total cost of printing, mailing and labor used for inserting would be $91.00. Many of these letters will be thrown in the waste basket unopened.
An advertisement in the Kansan containing thirty-six inches and costing $9. will reach over 6,000 people and be read more than a circular letter.
