SHOPPING ON MT. OREAD
A student without notebook, without pen, without the worried expression which usually precedes a quiz, climbing up Br. Oread-going to school unquipped? Or no, no just going shopping on the Hill. Such a picture will be a familiar one in a few years, if shops on the edge of the campus are given the support of University students.
The hatter of commercializing M. Orland is one of those things which can be satttled only by the student body. Active support and patronage of the present shops will very likely mean the repeat of the zoning ordinance and the advent of more shops bordering the campas, for Lawrence merchants can not be expected to stay away indefinitely. Whatever happens will be the direct result of student opinion. How is student opinion indicted?
UNDERSTUDYING
"Twenty-four hour service," taxi advertisement. We consider ourselves fortunate if we can get one that soon
For every unusually important task upon which a great deal may frequently depend there must be an undertake. He rarely breaks into print; he must release along with the principals, the headlines; he must know their parts as well as they themselves. His one and almost only sense is that somebody the star may be unable to answer, when the call comes, and thus give him his golden opportunity, the opportunity for which he has worked so long and waited so patiently.
So it is in football. There is always the second string player, who absorbs the buffers of the headliner, the first team man, and in doing so helps condition the first team man so that he can better play his part. For two long months he doms his second string outfit and provides opposition, nothing more. Then when the team plays at home he is allowed just a mixture of the ploy he hopes will be his come day, when he is allowed to test out on the gridenion after the first team has made its appearance and has been received with thunderous acclaim.
When the team plays away from home he is one of the crowd at the station when it departs and when it returns. He is happy in victory and in defeat. His is the existence of the understudy. All hail to him!
DO STUDENTS GOVERN THEMSELVES?
As a matter of fact is there such a thing as student self-government at the University of Kansas? True, there is a Men's Student Council and a W. S. G. A., but these are merely the machinery of government.
The motive power is student opinion. And that is just what is lacking in the self-government of Kansas. There is no student opinion in the sense of well thought-out and organized views. There are individual thoughts but no collective and effective opinion.
One fundamental reason for this is that students seldom express their views, either as individuals or as groups, through the regular organs of public opinion on the campus. These organs are the Campus Opinion column of the Kansan, other Hill publications, and the governing bodies.
The organs of campus opinion could be used effectively. Students could write, as they seldom do, to the Kanan editor concerning student affairs. Even if all opinions could not be printed, due to space limitations, a summary of them could be made. This would command the attention of the administration. Students could, as they infrequently do, attend meetings of their councils. Organizations, like social and professional fraternities and clubs, could, even though it is not traditional to do so, express themselves on student problems through resolutions directed to their governing bodies.
To be specific, take the case of the book exchange selling, quiz books. While it is probable that most students would welcome such action their desire remains intricate and ineffective. The student body has not yet learned to talk.
Don't students want self-government?
THE CRAWLERS
Every evening in the library they crawl, they fly, they buzz, they parade noisily. They are the creeping, winged population of Mt. Oread—the bugs or are_they the insects, you students of entomology?
At any rate they are out of place in a library, which that authority Mr. Webster, tells us is "an edifice for holding a collection of books"? Nothing is said of bugs or insects. Nothing can be said of bugs or insects in a library except that they are a decided bother to students.
The lungs are a distinct handicap to study and we are supposed to be 'bere for study.
There is only one remedy for the bug disease at Watson library, and that remedy is screens. The necessary appropriation for screens would have to come from the state. Without some protection from the insects, study at the library will become a spasmic, uncertain, unpleasant thing. It is not just that library study should be so. 'Can't the state appropriate some money?
THE TIN CRAZE
There has been lately a craze for old and cut-down Fords among students on the Hill. The older the car looks and the less it has on it, the better. In a good many cases the muffler is one of the articles missing. And the owners of such care go chagging nosily around the campus during class hours, disturbing lectures or laboratory classes.
There is a law against speeding on the Hill and a law against students hanging on the sides of cars. But if there is a law against a student driving across the campus with his cutout wideopen, it is not enforced; if there is not a law in the law there should be one and it should be strictly enforced. $ \cdot $
WINDOW UNVEILING
The evening has become a gala event for the city. At its inception, it was received with some doubt and not too much enthusiasm. The idea grew and prospered until now students and townpeople have caught the spirit of the occasion and felt the benefit to be derived from it.
Bright lights, dimly shaded windows, living models, blaring bands, a street dance, and joltting, merry crowds surge the walls—that is the fall window unveiling instituted by the merchants of Lawrence.
To the merchants of Lawrence is due for the co-operation among themselves which has made the event possible. It has been a benefit to them and to the city as a whole.

New students at the University of California were entertained recently by the president at a reception held in the Union building. Campus leaders were present to urge new students to take part in campus activities.
The Kansas State Teachers' College at Emporia employs educational and psychological tests in order to determine the pre-college preparation of each student. The results of these tests are used when the students enroll in advising them how much work they should take.
An Emporia Normal student takes the "Bulletin," the State Teachers College's official publication, to task for their unwarranted criticism of women in politics, saying that the editors of that paper are no judges of such matters.
