Wastebaskets full of discarded class notes; students with baited texts swarming around the book exchange; deserted reading rooms in Watson library; fragments of eager conversation about new courses, new professors, new books; wiley pledges carrying stacks of paddles down Orcad avenue.
All these signify that another instructor is beginning, a new page opening in the career of every student.

OUT AGAIN, IN AGAIN
Some there are who will grind and burn the midnight oil; some who will chase their favorite phantoms to the neglect of studies; some who will discover the happy medium of work and play. But for every student the Hill's old chronicle of hope, disappointment, aspiration, success and failure open new.

Statistics show that masculine efficiency has increased 50 per cent in the Edison company offices of Boston since the stenographers have been groomed in long skirts and long sleeves. Perhaps, But how about the efficiency of the stenographers?
The Kansas Farm Bureau has unanimously adopted a resolution for a uniform system of roads through the stare. This is the first of Kansas farm organizations to take a definite stand against the present limestone road building system that gets a few miles of good roads in one county and leaves the other counties still pulling through the mud.
OUT OF THE MUD
Kansas once landed at Missouri's mud. Missouri took action and built a cross-state highway. Kansas merely waited, and today is still wired in the mud. Kansas has a road fund, but the counties spend it as their commissioners think best. Some of this money is used for the maintenance of dirt roads; some is used for Heaven knows what. Some counties have, and are building hard surface roads, but more centralized control is required to secure a crossstate highway. Counties today are quarrelling among themselves as to how to link up any paved stretches of road between counties.
Kansas must act. Her legislature must pass laws creating the necessary body to oversee this work. Her farmers and others must take definite stands to clear up the present mudded road laws. No other state can lift her out of the mud. Today, Missouri anxiously awaits the move of her western neighbor, wearing a little, grin that threatens to burn into a loud guffaw.
A state system of road buildings under the supervision of a state highway commission would bring about the construction of a uniform road, connecting every market center in the state. Tourists could travel across the state in peace and without carrying an everlasting memory of muddy Kansas.
Abandonment of the present bit or miss scheme is absolutely necessary if Kansas is to be brought out of the mud. Savings on the maintenance of these concrete highways would be so reduced there would be larger sums available each year for additional construction.
FEMININE INTERFERENCE
Why 65 it that men, especially university men, have an aversion to being reformed? For since the W. S. G. A. at the University of Missouri has passed resolutions against public drinking, the males of this institution have abused an irritated and even hostile attitude at this "female law of masculine morals."
According to the girl, drinking public places has shown a marked decrease, and they assume all its responsibility for the resolution as I stands, despite the fact that the men are prone to place the blame on the dean of women. Of course, either from a sense of middle-class clichery or also a feeling of women's inferiority, they wouldn't give the girl credit for originating the movement. The poor downtrodden men, grouping at the last straw, assert that their midsection of this ruling is that it makes outsiders feel that the drinking situation at Missouri is extremely had, while in reality it is not "mearly but as bad as in some other schools". What a poor excuse for succeeding the rule. For if anything will cause outcouses to believe that Missouri is aging behind others schools in trying to path drinkings among its students, and being nothing but honor to the women who originated the movement.
Nevertheless they wouldn't be average if they didn't kick up a new about being reformed, for we are all women with a natural disability for rules and conventions, but they will cover in time and perhaps be the best for the "formidable interference."

A man in Chicago convinced a police judge that the sonman he fell asleep in a telephone booth was because he tried to soak him to get his wife. Wonder if he can make his wife believe it?

Books
(MeGII Daily, Montreal)
The windows in every bookstore one these days are vaney with books in alluring arrangements, displayed to attract the eye of the prospective buyer. The windows have large textbooks and signs and help on how to become a railway traffic manager, and how to learn French at home in a few hours, rubbing shoes with the gloves before entering the Queen Fifi's decked out in its most elegant dress and clearly screening to be taken away. And in the center of the group, in the most strategic position to attract the eye, is Elizabeth Taylor, a famous salesperson. Why is she a "hertz-caller" on one kwaa unless the publisher and for his own reasons he will not talk. The would-be purchaser is far too much in the hands of the publisher and may buy books on the recommendation of another or on the strength of a favorite review. Knowing this, the publisher labors to make the advertising of the book at attractive, as persuasive as possible. They may be boomed by the publisher for his own ends. The story is told of one publisher just starting in business who desired to get a best seller, but arranged with an authoress of very great distinction to write a book on certain lines he laid down. By the judicial expenditure of a few dollars here and there for favorable policies to the public and to raise a rikid revenue for his house.
In the age for moderately everyone wants the "later" and too often the latest is by no means the best. There is more to books than the charm of old classics. The student is trained from reading an interesting story. There is the value of the time pressure on the reader after the book has been subjected to the critical inspection of infinity. Much of the culture and verantility of great men has been subjected to the sort of reading with a purpose, of not squandering good money on novelties when they could better employ it in familiarizing themselves with proven classics. As students in a great University preparing ourselves to be future leaders in our country we must look carefully to the manner and matter of our incidental读书. Our library, one of the best on the continent, is not lack of advantage of to the extent that it is the only place in polish which is typically that of the college man like an intimate knowledge of the best books.
There will be a rehearsal of the Men's Glo Glip tonight at 7 o'clock in the usual place, in preparation for the Kansas City contest on Sunday. All members, including those not on the sound contest, are expected to attend.
