"FLOATING SNOW"
"Floating Snow" will soon make its appearance in Lawrence again.
You might guess that to be a statement from the "weather man" but it isn't. It comes from the bankers of Lawrence.
"Floating Snow" is the term the give to the bad checks they hand every year for students. More than 500 of these went through the air banks of Lawrence last year. Now handling 50 bad checks in nin months and rebalancing them when they're made good is no trivial matter. It means a lot of work without any financial return. It's an irritating thing. It is so irritating that the bankers get to the point where they would almost like to charge students for handling their money, sell them the check books that they so carelessly waste, even refuse student accounts. But they don't. They just go on receiving their money and giving students the best of service.
Is it fair? Are we giving the banks a square deal when student checks average $1.18 and we ask them to handle 500 bad ones in nine months? Of course, these aren't the result of criminal intentions. They're merely student carelessness because they all come back marked "inefficient funds."
How much "floating snow" will fly in Lawrence this year? That's up to you. Will you do your banking in a businesslike way or will you be careless?
IS IT TRUE?
Someone walked down the Hill with you the other day and you started talking about college parties.
"Say, but that was a punk party they put on for the Prom last year," your companion excelsus. "One of the managers is stopping out right this fall. Guess he made enough to last him through school."
Now, did he? Is it true? Did that thought go through our mind? No, you probably agreed with your companion and went on to tell how a dozen students run the school, and that the Pi Z taz were "bumps" on five bides this fall and that about so many more things are so. It's a habit around here. We all do it more or less.
But, Is it true? How many times do we ask that when someone tells us a bit of guessing? Not very often. We just consider ourselves a little more on the "inside" of things and display our knowledge by telling it to someone else p perhaps with a few more fouures.
Is it true? ?Oh. "I don't know but so and so and so and so told him." And we believe it, don't we? It's much easier to believe than to doubt unless you get the "Is it true?" habit.
How much more satisfied do you
think you'd be with college people.
College life and college activities if you tried the "Is it true?" on the things you hear?
CUPID CAPITULALES
An year after year ships by and calendars of past twelve-months grow mostly in their eobweb nests, it is being to be an obvious fact that there are fewer love-matches on the Hill with each succeeding somester No more do numerous evidences of engagements appear on the dress fronts and fingers of the University women. The campus, once famous for its many blossoming romances, is no longer productive of fervent amounts True, an occasional marriage grows out of a University courtship, but these are not plentiful as in other days.
Reasons for this development probably lie chiefly in the rather well-known high cost of living. Students at the time they are in college, are not always sure of future compensation, and consequently feel backward in the art of proposing marriage. Then, too, the fact that both men and women enjoy "dating" promiscuously when there are so many different attractions offered in the way of entertainment.
"GRAFTS"
Have you looked about you and thought that something was missing? Perhaps you won't have to look long before you discover that it is the grafts that were so prominent on the Hill last year.
Do you think that they are missing or are they us in seclusion until school is in full awing? Will they come peeping out probably timidly at first, and then when the freshman with havewithdrawn the shock of such things, will they come out boldly and begin where they left off?
Do you believe this or do you think that such things are past on the Hill? What do you think are we?
Let us hope so.
Campus Opinions
Editor University Daily Kansan:
Editor University Daily No. 106
The people of Lawrence say that Kansas University is coming into its own again. During these years of unsatisfied existence, since the war wilters in Kansas have lost their spirit, the lack of unified spirit "on tha hill." But, now as we are on the brink of a new era in the life of Kansas University their tone changes, and a note of cheer takes the place of that which was formerly despondent.
The University is the life of Lawrence and the citizens of the city are glad the "thundering thousand" are here again as old. Let's make the old town hum. They like it.
A Town Student
Editor, Daily Kansan:
The appearance of our campus seems to be the favorite subject of student critics this fall—and rightly so. The campus is in dreadful condition. Those roads upon which vehicles pass are like a treasure railway with a few more plunges added for good measure; the new Administration Building is a credit to the University—or would be if we could train our eyes to look only at the building itself and not its surroundings; it is also certain that classes in West Air are reached on rainy mornings and that students slide about and stepping in the mud. It is all undeniably not what it should be, but why blame the University Engineer who happens to be the person most intimately concerned. He knows it just as well and better than he. His whole endeavor to give us a sense of the campus does not just happen, you know. They take infinite planning and then many thousands of dollars to carry out those plans.
So while we're exclaiming over the defaults of our campus, why not go to the root of the evil and blame the legislature which hasn't yet realized that we have a great state and that some more to make a great state school what it should be.
Four thousand students with con-
trusted effort can influence that
Legislature just as surely as they
can make the justice system work.*
Concentrated Effort.
Our merry puncher declares that the rain got lost last evening. At any rate, he assures that when he saw her, he looked for it and found it was mist.
Prof. (To Freshman class): Let's see, are you Brown?
Homesick Frosh: No, sir. I'm Blue.
We wonder if the man who told the class in Elementary Law that he thought a certain amount of wife's money is right is thinking of getting married soon.
The climax of rush-week comes to the average Freshman, on enrollment day when he is rushed off of his feet by the collectors of fees.
It is right down impossible to do library reading at a moving picture show, and it is quite a task to work there on a bathroom floor.
You can generally tell what the average student is by what he does when he has nothing to do.
A smiling, good mature professor is not necessarily, an easy grader. You can't judge the force of 'mule' bicky by the size of his hind hoofs.
You can't say a man is a good student because his light burns far into the night. He may be reading the last number of the Police Gazette.
Do not think that, just because a man says "Oui, Oul," he has been to France. Ask him to describe the man as one who had well—well he has been there.
The fellow who shines his own shoes is to he commanded. He is not only saving money for more urgent work, but he is learning a trade as well.
There are too many fault finders in this old world. If some of them would use their feet less and their heads more, they would arrive sooner.
Antiroglites assert the signs of the zodiac under which one is born have much to do with one's characteristics. Goodness, how many K. U. men must have been born under the horn of Taurus!
The movie producer who is introducing Annette Kellermans latest picture advertises her as "the great queen" and "Wolaint "banker beauty" be better?
People with trusting dispositions were due for numerous jolts when they read the papers of Friday night. There were top-head stories of a hydrophobic pup, corruption in last year's world series, and of alleged partnership on the part of the Stars and the American Legion Weekly.
The man who collects. old rags hasn't been around this year, judging by the music heard from the student district.
The gentlemen who purchased lords or Franklin last Tuesday ave our understanding sympathy. We had the same feeling the other ay when we were told Christian needs not to need pay the $8 stipend fee.
"Joint Program is Announced for Boys"-Gazette. Quick, Watson, page the revenue officer and the juvenile court!
The "daring" robber who burglated the window of a local jewelry store evidently believed the old saying makes water "hit." He took plenty of photos.
Those freshmen who can't figure
The light-weight head writers continue to talk about the "Cork Mayor."
Possibly the mysterious saxophone thief was merely impersonating Everett True.
"Jacob H. Schiff has been associated with the financial history of New York and of this country for a quarter century first, then go to New York!"
On Other Hills
Alumni of Ohio State from coast to coast are to be organized within the next two weeks in the interests of the Ohio Stadium campaign. Members of the Stadium Committee and the athletic staff will make a tour to stimulate interest in the stadium among alumni of Indianapolis, Chicago, St. Louis, Kansas City, Denver, San Francisco, and Los Angeles.
Washburn will begin an organized athletic program for women this fall. Miss Katie Moore, athlete d rector of women at that school announced she would inaugurate girls basketball, hockey, football and baseball games.
According to reports issuing from the Pikeway camp, Washington University is confident of having a better eleven than last year, despite several losses. The new coach, George S. Kader has started dummy scrimmage and is placing special emphasis on offensive work.
