TALK FOR DORMITORIES
Now that a Union building is assured the main difficulty seems to be "what is to go in the building!"
The University vacationist during the coming two weeks to have manifold opportunities to do some profitable advertising for the University needs. The latest addition to the list, and one that is as equally deserving as any of the other improvement projects now on hand, is the campaign for dormitories for women
campaign for dormitories for women recently inaugurated by the Kansas Council of Women.
To the student who has at least a semblance of influence with those connected with the state's legislative activities, the duty is made especially important. It is up to him to convince the Kansas legislator of the imperative need of dormitories at the University and at the other state educational institutions as well. Once the legislation is convinced, the results need not be feared.
The state educational institutions are the only class of schools in the country that uniformly do not have a system of dormitories. Many of the private institutions, with small enrolments, have such equipment. Yet the state schools, where, on account of greater enrollment the need is more obvious, resort to the old rooming-house system.
Miss Margaret Lynn, of the University faculty, who has been appointed publicity director for the campaign, covered the situation thoroughly in her statement last Monday.
"Dormitories at the University," says Miss Lyon, "are needed very badly for the practical purpose of giving students necessary conveniences for living. Twenty-five percent of the women in this University are inconvenient or uncomfortably housed and some are too far away from the campus. The school has simply outgrown the good living quarters of the city, although Lawrence has done everything possible to cope with the situation."
The rooming-house situation will become more acute within a few years, and it is imperative that the problem be met at the present time. The only effective solution is the dormitories, and it is for them that the student should work during his vacation.
THE CAMPAIGN CLOCK
As a campus beautifier the cardboard timepiece is unsurpassed. Having had its heyday and performed the necessary usefulness, the daily ticker is now left to the elements to work their will and culminate its destruction.
Why not make a permanent sign board effect of the clock, thereby saving trees, sidewalks, and "keep off
the Grass" signs? In this way it would be performing a useful service to the university, as well as keeping its prominence on the Hill as an ornament and past reminder of student greatness.
THE FRESHMAN GOES HOME
HOME
It will be only a few days now until the freshman, who had never been away from home until he began his sojourn on Mount bread, will stop from the train steps in the old home town and take a survey of his surroundings. Somehow, he will find that the place does not look the same. The freshman feels that he has seen much of the world since he last bought a ticket for Lawrence, and the old place looks a bit commonplace since he took his first steps towards sophiaca
He will find that "Hack" Smith, who meets all the trains for the Commercial Hotel, is standing in his usual position near the steps of the train. "Hack" is an expert at pronouncing the word "hotel," because he has repeated it probably fifty times a day for ten years now. The freshman will probably smile contemptuously at "Hack's" mittens and his impossible headgear.
Then there will be "Dave" Hughes, who formed the habit of meeting the trains out of curiosity early in his youth. "Dave" will be puffing away at his cab pipe, and will look auspiciously at the freshman. "Dave" has no liking for those who leave the old home town and come back feeling they have been placed slightly in front of the home folks in the order of things in this world.
Harry Scott, the station agent, will be busy loading the mail bags and looking after the express packages. The freshman will think of how he would hate to have that job year in and year out, with only an occasional vacation in which to get out and see the world.
Suddenly there is a commotion among a group of onlookers at one
end of the depot. A motherly appearing lady rushes towards the freshman, throws her arms about him, and matters something about "My boy." The freshman is somewhat chagrined as he receives a very audible kins on his left cheek.
Mother is in her realm now, and she is a bit happier than she has ever been since her son left home last September. For the past three weeks, she has been planning the
variation dinners and taxing her recipe cooks for the delectable dishes that will grace the family table during the two weeks of the son's vacation. The Christmas dinner will be the very same of culinary worthiness—it will be a Kansas dinner, cooked by a Kansas mother for her son who had never been away from home before. She has already purchased her son's Christmas present, and has happily contemplated her son's joy when he sees it.
The Freshman is probably not an important personage on Mount Oread. He is only one of thirty-four hundred, and he is only a freshman at that. But at home for the next two weeks, he will be a king!

Definite ruling has been formulated at the McGill University concerning non-regulation uniforms and the wearing of "foreign badges." The "McGill Daily" has the following to say about this matter:
Sophomores at the Oregon Agricultural college have voted to have a class insignia. The insignia chosen for this year is a knitted vest that can be worn by co-eds as well as men.
only old man or woman passing his hair or her last days without friends, except the kind that money buys, you will have the harvest, the harvest of friends which your smile has rumped. Children will not be afraid of you. Their joyous play will not be disturbed by your presence; and you will have their frank and open friendship, all because of your smile. People will not call you an old crank, or even "old so and so." They will know you by your first name, and will be glad to see you on the street and shake your hand.
Which smile is worth cultivating;
and which smile is yours?
"It is only natural that the fresher should be proud of the prep. school from which they have graduated, but once they have become students at McGill, they are bound by regulation and other creat but that of 'ad McIll."
The ruling concerning the use of badges is as follows:
"The promiscuous use of non-regulation uniforms and the wearing of "foreign" badges on the campus, or at sports events, is prohibited, and if this offence be persisted in after due warning, such offender may be barred from participation in University athletics until admitted by the Athletic Association."
The University of Oregon boasts students from thirty-three of the thirty-six counties of the state of Oregon, and in addition to this, from twelve other states in the United States, California, and Idaho are each well represented. From outside the mainland the number of students enrolled at the University runs as follows; Hawaii, three; the United States, four; Alaska, one; the two; Alaska, one; Greece, one; New Zealand, one; Switzerland, one; Turkey one.
At the University of California 46 per cent of the students are wholly or partially self-supporting. The average pay received is forty cents per hour.
At the University of Washington, an average of the itemized expenses of the seventeen national sororities at the university has been taken. The average is compiled from the record expenses of the last five years and includes salaries and stipulation fee, $3160; extra running expenses, $5.62; extra entertaining expenses, $6.62; cost per plate at the annual banquet, $2.12; national sorority dues for each member, $4.76; assessments levied for outside activities, $1.92; a chairer magazine, $1.23; Christmas gift to the house, $99.

A recent news story in the Kansean informs the readers that college students, the country over, are less intelligent than the knowledge seekers of this world. This was in another argument for the repent of the Volunteed act.
Everytime we read of athletic banquets we wish we had not spent so much time learning to play croquet.
The vandal who entered the boudries at the Alpha Dpi Pi屋 and then left when he heard the girls coming, was a gentleman at least. We know fellows who would have hid under a bed.
It is possible, dear boy, for a comedian to make a fool of himself.
A student dishwasher at this institution is worried over the fact that his mother may find out what he is doing before vacation is over.
It is your own life you are planning. Do not let the criticisms of others spoil that plan.
There are a lot of students who will be surprised when they get back to their little home town to find that the team has been coining, without them.
We suppose that the coming vacation will see a few students withdrawing from the University on account of sore eyes.
This is the time of year when a fellow without any lady friends should be thankful.
We wish everyone a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. We trust that the students will forget their lessons and the instructors their assignments. Furthermore, we hope that they can master their worries and stay that way.
THE NEW JINRIKISHA
This automobile age has brought changes even for the jikirkish men of Japan, for today they draw their two-wheeled carriages about with a motorcycle instead of pliding at the tireless dog-trot that has for so many years been the norm of the countryside of men qualified to meet the runners of other countries in an international Marathon race. Thoughts of trailing the exhaust of a motor cycle engine for several miles quite naturally lead one to wonder if some ingenious Japanese man can be found to be the benefactor who will discover some volatile chemical which will vaporize satisfactorily and provide some odor as a substitute for that of gasoline which will seem more appropriate not only to the highways of the flowery cities but also to great countries everywhere—Christian Science Monitor.
The flag, signpost, planted by Admiral Robert E. Perry in his dash to the north pole, has been discovered by Captain Gowford Hanson, Danish explorer, four hundred miles north of New York. The shifting of the sign post, is said to be due to the signage of the ice packs.
