THE OFFENSE OF SAVING
When Janie rescues a bright-colored picture from the wastebasket mother often remonstrates, but in spite of all parental admonitions Janie may, in time, acquire a treasured collection of colored pictures, curaps of lace, discarded kodak films and many other miscellaneous articles. Her brother values articles of a different character but of the same degree of uselessness, with the same degree of affection. Yet are children the only offenders in this practice of saving things which have 0 value except that which time brings them? And is this practice always an offense?
How often have we all found rel-
icles carefully put away among our
possessions that are reminiscent of
our school days or of some especially
brilliant occasion. We smile a little
and put them away in a safer place.
Discard them? Oh, no! They are
treasures because they have become
symbols which help our memories to
picture the past.
Is there any difference in the instinct which prompts the small boy to collect nails or pretty pebbles and the instinct which makes the educated scholar desire a collection of old manuscripts or antique vases? Our museums are full of reverenced memorials—we revere them for their having been saved—they are now a valuable part of our history. Why have they been saved? Because, as in the case of the withered rose or torn ribbon, while they have no value, they are far too precious to be discarded. —S. J. B.
TRUE GREATNESS
A magazine writer, in describing Madame Curie, the great scientist and discoverer of radium, who is now visiting America, likened her to a Kansas farmer's wife, "a tired looking, sweet-faced and sharp-eyed woman, one of the pioneer type who had carried the homestead through drought and grasshopper years and brought up a fine family of children."
And back in Kensas, where we know these women and where the words are more than suggestive phrases, we look with pride at the printed magazine page—and we rise up and bless the women whose names deserve to stand beside that of the greatest woman scientist of the world.
When Madame Curie formally opened the new laboratory of the Bureau of Mines, she said: "I dedicate this building to the cause of science and humanity." It seems that the analogy between Madame Curie and the Kansas farmer's wife is all the more significant when taken in connection with these words of hers. Surely in the great laboratory of humanity the farmers' wives of western Kansas are playing a heroic part when, not because they must, but because they want to help put the destructive industrial conditions manifested in the demand for higher wages, they are taking to the harvest fields to do there a man's work. Yes, Madame Curie is a noble woman, and with her shines and has shone for all times the mobility of Kansas women.—M. C.
A pastor in Ilinois has become tired of telling his people about the heat they would encounter when stoking the fires of Hades and has gone to work selling heating plants for a Chilong firm. We folks here in Kansas rather wish he'd take some of our heat and pass it out as a premium with his furnaces.

Every student might spend an afternoon very profitably in getting acquainted with the campus. How many seniors are there who know that the grounds are threaded with a network of tunnels large enough to walk around in? How many of the summer session students have seen the Thayer art collection, or know where it is located? L, Y.
THE THREE-MINUTE TALK
A summer school feature very popular except for the victim is the three-minute talk introduced by one of the most resourceful of the faculty members. One poor student, listed as a victim for this week, in recounting what will have accomplished when the next Sabbath dawns, said, "By that I time I will have talked three minutes." Oh, rare device to bring a woman to such economy of words!" - M. C.
If at the end of five swettering summer school days there did not come a sixth, on which there is no early rising, no 7:30 whistle, no ten-minute walk from West Ad to F120. it is almost certain that two-thirds of Mount Oradal's summer laborers would pack up and start for the green pastures of homeland. If Sunday is the Lord's day, then surely Saturday is the students' day, the day on which he salveges from the wreck of five school days all the odds and ends. kiss together the ten weeks of the summer school day on day of when he builds up again the block house, the last blocks of which Friday's quiz has sent into a confused heap upon the floor.
SATURDAY
Then you can see a hundred rooms put to rights, washings and ironings done and shopping expeditions made. Then does the belated student rush for the psychology or chemistry reference books, and finally there is time to visit the "romile" across the hall and have a chat for the greater part of the afternoon. In fine, one finds just enough time to do the numerous things that were "put off until Saturday."—M. C.
Unlike so many collectors who take great delight in gathering together untold numbers of cancelled postage stamps, my interest as a collector lies more in the letters which caused the stamps to be cancelled. Saving and re-reading old letters has a peculiar attraction to me.
My Pet Hobby Is—
SAVING LETTERS—WHAT'S
YOURS?
For instance, on or about the first of each month I receive a number of short messages from various prominent men about town. A cursory glance at these is sufficient at the time I receive them! often it is not necessary for me even to open them in order to know their contents. These letters are never particularly interesting to me but I mention them because they make up a considerable part of my collection.
Then there are those letters from HER, the perusal of any half dozen of which is guaranteed to carry me from the depths of despair to the heights of clation, and like as not, back to the depths again. The letter from home, notifying me that the king has increased allowance has been granted, holds a pre-eminent position in my collection.
These and numerous others make up my collection. Each old letter calls up a memory which may cheer, but more often depresses me, in either case giving me a thrill and furnishing me with food for thought—R.J.D.
Campus Opinion
Editor Summer Session Kansan:
Dear Sir—I write to protest against the conceit or perhaps strategy of some of our captains of wisdom.
Since it is impossible for them to affect prestige by hiding behind stained doors marked private, they have resorted to equally effective means of accomplishing their means.
In plain English there are too many prerequisites required even for Junior or Senior students before they may be admitted to courses which they particularly desire and need. It doesn't ount with some of these read monarchs how much general information you may have or that you are an A student and an upper classman; no, to enter any of their classes you must first do the prescribed ten or twelve course of elementary work and if you have done that it doesn't matter then, if your grade was D, that you are considerable of a loafer and with all a boob, you are allowed to enter.
This is not theory and were it not unjust to those mentioned when many are guilty I would give concrete illustrations and examples.
I said at the beginning that there might be some strategy involved in this. The earnest student who desires an advanced course or so in a certain department may be willing to wade through elementary work with which he is already more or less familiar in order to get the courses he wants. This will add more students to the departments and make it seem a thriving one theory rebounding to the honor system. On the whole, there are a few, quite respectable professors, who sin along a different line. They advertise a two hour course which the unsuspecting victims who enter later find to be one of five hours. Nevertheless it is as advertised when one consults the

registrar after the work is done. Perhaps it is next to impossible to standardize the work necessary for a credit hour but certainly an improvement could be made on the glaring inequalities which now exist.
I hope, Mr. Editor, that you will not be overcome by this burst of spleen. I love my Alma Mater and if I have used the slipper rather severely I hope she will bear in mind the good old phrase, "It hurts me worse than it does you."—A. B. Olshevick,
