SAY "HELLO"
"Hi, Hi."
"How are you?"
"Fine. How are you?"
Hundreds of times a day you hear this greeting between students. It in years old, yet quite the thing. Here is one thing that hasn't gone out of style, and there's a good reason.
The more people you greet the better you feel. Why limit it (excent at election time) to those you know well or to those to whom you have been formerly introduced? After passing a person fifty or seventy times and being in classes with him that often you could to know him pretty well.
It helps to start the day off with a bang to greet your friends and to be greeted in return by them. The fellow who doesn't realize the worth of it is the one who doesn't try it.
In many schools everyone speaks to everyone else, without stopping for introductions or chance meetings. If K. U. in to keep in line as a democratic university, we too must be more generous with our "holes."
AND THIS IS FRANCE
In the bright lesson of youth there is no such word as fail. Old saying. But the faculty is endeavoring to change the lexicon.
Tom, Dick and Harry have a wonderful time tipping each other's government phylosheus over. Each man is especially interested in turning the work of the other two up side down and tapping the rules with his own little cob-house. Tom works for a while controlling affairs of state by getting the solicitors to back the left wing. Dick flaps this petty affair over and rules with the big stick suported by the right wing. Then Harry comes along, that both his predecessors are more paws off, and decides to build his cabine to satisfy the majority in the French government.
Briand now is in getting his eighth cabinet together following the resignation of former Premier Herriot and his cabinet. Thus things go in the affairs of state in France. Americans think their own government has a hard time going along with national elections coming at four-year intervals. With the French system, government officials change positions almost as rapidly as the wind changes in Kansas. Politics must be interesting in France.
A RAG
Have you ever felt your heart fill with pride when you came up the campus facing old Fraser hall with the stars and stripes floating joyously on the morning breeze? Of course you have; every student who climbs Mount Oread has felt that thrill at one time or another.
Now—the same building, and the same colors. But see that motly white and red rag flying to the breeze just below the national emblem. No, it isn't a battle scarred flag. It isn't an emblem of glory; only an advertisement for the relays. Every student wants to see the ruysa success, but few enjoy seeing a dirty ragtag float from the University flag staff. This is no place and no way to advertise even no fine a cause as the relays.

A REAL TRAGEDY
The ether day a student was ridding on the running board of a motor car. An accident threw him from the car to the ground injuring him dangerously. Again the campus witnesses tapped; a bright young life awakes in the balance.
Holiday time, with all its lauches and pleasures, thoughts of home and friends are wiped away by carlessness. Sympathetic hearts are made care, and long quiet hours must while in payment for a few moments recklearness on somebody's part. Campun speed demons take warning, and remember that a three-second-comedy may turn into a life-time-tragedy.
MAYOL LINSCOTT, President.
A Chinese merchant defrauded a Hollander of $500,000. And still they will tell us that Orientales are not civilized!
NO ROOM FOR WASTERS
This difficulty is acute in all colleges, large and small, and is taxing the wisdom and ingenuity of educational leaders everywhere. It is, however, especially pressing and troublesome in state-supported institutions. We need to encourage civic enthusiasts to bear in mind that the money of the people is being spent for the benefit of the assembled youth in college. The effect on legislators and public opinion of incidents that in a privately endowed institution would be comparatively trifling must be carefully taken into account. That is why it is important to appreciate their difficulties in this respect is abundantly shown.
Problems of college and university management, the discovery of means and methods of producing the greatest amount of character building and education among young men and women students with the least expenditure of money, must be properly taxed the intelligence and energy of those in charge of such institutions. These problems are more pressing and acute at present than ever before on account of the great increase in the number of youth flocking to colleges. One of the knottiest puzzles that college executives have to solve is how to combat and minify certain influences which make for disturbance and disruption, and which are inevitably present wherever the irresponsibility of youth has a chance of eroding these conditions of thronging college life.
A mass meeting of students at the University of Maine is to be held soon to take action on a significant issue in our country. Little of that institution, that certain objectionable features of college life must be eliminated by September, 1925. The president of the student body asks them to that, while conditions at the university are better this year than ever before, the students will be willing to take items for still greater improvement upon President Little's "ultimatum."
Doctor Little, in stating his case recently, put the problem as it affects a state institution in words of analytical clarity that are worth the careful attention both of students and instructors. For example, Speaking of deleterious problems of college life that make the problem acute, he said: "They are time-wasters, money-wasters, character-wasters and energy-wasters," and declared.
"If a man persists in showing one or more of these weaknesses he must withdraw from the university and not focus his attention on those lower ignorances and not on a hypercritical or higher education as rubbish expense."
These last three words contain the rub of the matter. The waste of "hypocritical semi-attention" to higher education is objectionable enough anywhere, but when it is in use it often causes Little is vividly and emphatically right in asserting that it is intolerable.—Christian Science Monitor.
CHEWING-CHEWING
Like measles, red neckties, georgette scarfs, cheater-playing and mumps, gum-chweling comes in waves. For the past two weeks crowds of students have been seen industriously waving their laws.
One's mind goes back to those days when he had to herd cattle along the creek and watched the grass-hopper settle down on a blade of grass for a "chaw." He had a technical method of getting his "chawing" done; it was rhythmic at least. There was old "Mooil" too-bleas her soul; she always seemed to enjoy doing it.
Of course there are the perpetual chewers who seem never to be without their cud, and two insist on having at least two cents' worth on special occasions, such as basketball games or final examinations. They are the worst offenders. There are others who have gum, "simply because it was given to them." But when it comes to such an epidemic as is surging across the campus at present—well, we just can't explain it. Dreamy-eyed, one may sit in the library looking over the crowds that surround the tables. Six out of
Back we come again to our real surroundings and listen to the familiar sound of chewing—chewing. After all, there must be a lot of satisfaction in it!

Cleanliness Is the Best Insurance Against Moths
The careful housewife never puts away her winter blankets, comforters and wool apparel with out first making sure that they have been thoroughly cleaned.

People Do Read Advertising
SIX THOUSAND shoppers in stores in Boston were asked regarding their habits in reading newspapers before going on a shopping trip. According to Daniel Starch of the Harvard School of Business Administration these are the answers to the question: "Do you read the advertising?"
UPSTAIRS STORE
Answer Always Usually Rarely Never
No. Ans. 1299 1246 558 267
Per cent 38.5 36.9 16.5 8
DOWNSTAIRS STORE
Number 719 397 112 34
Per cent 56.9 31.5 8.8 2.7
In other words, more than three-fourths of the women shoppers read the advertising before they ever left their homes. What is true in Boston is true in Lawrence.
