SPRING!
Spring is here—witness the Spring Opening and the fraternity jewelry. The grand rush on grass seed, new curtains and five-pound boxes should soon begin.
FRIDAY, MARCH 12, 1926
It's quite a custom, this perennial putting out of pins, and has all the advantages of the uncertainty associated with cutting a class, $d$ with horse racing.
What could be more enjoyable than witnessing the building of young love, especially when it is announced with a five-pound box of chocolate? And what could be more worthy than a sister who provides her sisters with a five-pound box or so each spring? What altruism, what consistency?
What of the man's viewpoint? 1 seems to engender a pleasanty feeling, somewhat similar to that received on a roller coaster. He allows himself, with what inner misgiving who can say, to be thrilled through the process of ordering the jewel pin, buying the candy and cigars, and receiving the customary congratulations of the sisters—to the annoyance of the woman in the case.
Not a significant custom we hep being a personification of inconsistency, but just an interesting sign of spring.
LET'S WALK
"Cheer for Stock Men""—newspaper headline. Sure. Organize a cheering section.
"Let's walk, Clarie," may become the popular greeting of Mt. Oread men calling at the house of their ladies fair to escort them to the movie or the varity. The present taxi rates work have with the monthly pay check from home.
Once before the charges were almost prohibitive, Students opposed them and they were finally reduced to fit the common pocketbook. For a while everyone rode by taxi at a reasonable charge.
Five can no longer ride for the price of one. The meter ticks on and on, and then an extra passenger charge is added. The taxi is a luxury that dad protects against.
Times have changed. Today if a man uses a taxi to take his date he must either cut down the number of dates a month or walk. On this basis the average man will pray for good weather.
Anyway, on Mt. Oren the sweetest words a maid can say to a man are, "Let's walk, Ethebert."
THE OLD SPELLING MATCH
THE OLD SPELLING MATCH
How many students can still recall those good old days, back in the grades, when spelling and when it was in the curriculum, and when it was the aim of their existence to "spell out" a full class? There was a thrill in emerging victor over your classmates that no other achievement seemed to give. The feeling of elation that came after each "tongue-twister" was conquered and, one by one, your rivals were forced to their seats; is one that can no longer be experienced.
But, with the revival of old-fashioned dances here on the campus, these is no reason why old-fashioned spelling-matches cannot also be revived. All that is necessary is the addition of a course in spelling to the University curriculum. As a pre-requisite, students desiring to enroll might be required to present evl
ence that they had emerged vicious from a "match" back in the country, grade, or high school.
This requirement being met, the members of the class could purchase good old-fashioned spillers, substantial ones, and brush up on the lists therein. Then they could proceed to engage in "spell-downs" to their heart's content."
Beside the real advantage in the raising of the spelling ability of many, think of the honor of being the best speller in the entire University! We sheerly recommend this plan to the faculty for their deep and earnest consideration in the hope that such a course may soon be added to the list of those named in the University catalog.
MORE ROOM FOR THE AUTO-
MOBILE
There was once a time, and it was not so very long ago, when Old Dobbin enjoyed coming to Lawrence on the weekly errand trip as much as did his mistress and master and their children. Even old Tom and Dick did not mind being hitched to the heavy heavier wagon and pulling a load of wheat to the elevator, for they knew that they would have a comfortable place to stand, probably under the shade of some lofty elm, and then they knew that they would be taken down to the watering fountain at Ninth and New Hampshire streets for a drink. Old Dobbin could stand and gaze around at the sights of the town as much as he wished. He was usually tied to a hitch rack on Massachusetts street and so got to see everything and everyone.
Finally the automobile came, and when his master purchased one, old Dublin was forced to stay at home more. Dat, even then, he did not mind this so much because he still got to stand on Manuscatts street when he did come to town. Sometimes later the city officials decided to pave the main street, and so all the bitching rackes were removed to hack streets and alleys. This action displeased Old Dublin very much, yet, he did not kick much because he could still get a good-drink of water from the fountain.
Now, just the other night the officials of the city decided that the watering fountain is a mence to traffic in the city; they say that cars are held up there while horses are being watered. Old Dabbin is indeed troubled and offended. He does not wish to visit Lawler any more.
BUTLER WAS RIGHT
Therefore it started San Diego and made newspaper headlines when General S. D. Butler, lately public safety director in Philadelphia and now command of the marine base in San Diego, preferred charges against Colonel Alexander Williams because he was intoxicated while entertaining Butler in his hotel. As a result Butler has been ostracized by the socially supreme in San Diego. In every story that has come out about the affair, Butler has been played up as having violated a canon of good taste to the extent that he should receive the cold shoulder of those around him.
Discourse on the part of the guests toward his host has always been considered as socially unpardonable and of less degree only than inospitality.
Fairness should at least leave the matter as an open question. General Butler is the commandant of the marine base. Colonel Williams, his predecessor, is still in the service. Ever since the United States has had a navy, there has been a navy rule against drunkenness. Williams evidently violated that rule.
It is obvious that Butler's first city was to the service. He did the right thing in preferring charges against Williams. He was merely one of the few who performs his city.
According to general reports, in spite of the nation's law and the navy's rule, any marine in the recent past who desired to get drunk in San Diego has been able to do so without penalty.
It seems promising for the efficiency of the Paralice Coast marines that Bulley has arrived.
