From the Press of the State of Kansas, f Editorial Department . K. U. 25 Business Department . K. U. 48 THURSDAY, SEPT. 10, 1925 THE MAD CRAZE It has begun again—the mad craze for speed. Cars shoot wildly in and out of the jams in front of fraternity and sorority houses. Automobiles dash down the hills oblivious to other cars coming on the cross streets. A few days ago the first accident occurred, but since then, just as many Fords have been "open up" and just as many Lincoln hives have alongside at breakneck speeds. There were no injuries in that first accident, but any one who walks across streets in the student district is 'in line for one. How much longer will the brakes hold? Moraleists and purtuiters have said things before now about youth and speed. They have pointed decriing fingers at the young things who are so speedy that they can not get to classes on time nor pay the fraternity bills in an afternoon. Speed is not inmate in the college student. Speed doesn't make a man race down Indiana—rather a desire to be reckless, to show off. It is a hang-over from that old-time fondness for rolly-coasters and flying chickens. Now the time has come for University students to realize that toys have long since been put away in drawers and that accordingly childish ideas and desires should be discarded. It was all very well to play with the pop gun at the age of seven, but it is a different matter to shoot indiscriminately with a loaded pistol at the age of nineteen. The same applies to the hobby-horse and the Ford. When will University students grow out of the hobby-horse age? Now they are praying for rain in Tennessee. Even though they didn't descend from primitive man down there, they need moisture. CONVOCATION Rock Chalk, Jay Hawk, K. U! Tomorrow morning the old familiar chant will ring through Robinson gymnasium and the gun will be fired at the "go" line. No one can afford to miss that convoction. More depends on it than one might realize. Beginnings are such important things. In a University as large as Kansas, spirit is something that is often confined to schools and small groups. It is something which belongs to the entire University. No one who attends the first official meeting of the entire student body can fail to catch that spirit. When Mac and his band tune up—when the cheers ring through the room—when the chancellor speaks—"Rock Chalk" and "Jay Hawk" will become more than so many words to be shouted. They will become the symbol of a spirit which is to bind this University together. Beginnings are important. SHIRT-SLEEVES Long sleeves, wool materials, hats, all the features of dress which Dame Fashion has decreed for women this fall—these were seen on the Hill today. What if the sun did shine brightly or the woolls scratch against sunburned arms? Fall is here and milady is a slave to fashion. But what of the other and some say lesser, half of humanity? In shirt sleeves, those of the other half stroll coolly over Mt. Oread thinking foresighted stars that they are OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Copy received at the Charceller Office until 11:00 a.m. Thursday, September 10, 1925 The first all-university convention will be held in Robinson Gymnastics Friday morning, February 14th, Professor Waldemar Geffeth will play on the floor, and Prof. Langerley will play.

Even the most lofty and cool of the shirt-sleeve class are not above admiring glancees on the chic dark frocks and velvet chignons of the fair sex. Is the day of shirt-sleeves coming for women as well as men? If it does, maybe the shirt-sleeve pioneers won't look so happy—just maybe.
