DO WE HAVE IT?
Are students gifted with an aesthetic sense or, are they unlike other people in failing to appreciate things beautiful? Euthetics has been defined as the sense of the beautiful in art and nature. The definition is an old one and so is the change that young people, especially those who are spending a part of their lives in rehabs and colleges are lacking in that sense—or appreciation.
The failure of students to consider their own campuses as things of beauty and to provide for the maintenance of them is the basis for many of the charges that entailm from those who bring those indebtedness against student bodies collectively and individually. In almost every student body, say the critics, there has had to be enacted severe regulations to keep students from cutting nerease lawns, cutting initials in the sides of buildings and monuments, and generally abusing things of beauty on and off the campus.
Defenders of the students retaliate with the charge that it is merely the carrying over of childhood inhibitions that prevents the student from demonstrating his aesthetic sense. They say he is as keenly appreciative of art and beauty as are his olders who bewail this lack but that he has to be brought out of his shell and made to get over the childhood idea that art and beauty are things to be enacted at and not to be talked about and protected.
Whatever the cause, or causes, may be, it is certain that students are show in showing that they have such a sense - be it developed or dormant—and that they are weakly neglectful in their attitude towards the arts.
HOUSECLEANING
The political muller puzzle at Washington grows thicker and wider with the re-entry of the Teapot Dome transaction into the public eye. Considerable speculation is broadcast as to whether or not Gaston B. Means, star witness of the Daugherty investigation, is going to stick to his repudiation of his testimony, or in turn remand it.
Means promises something more sensational any than of his previous testimony, if the case is re-posed. Repudiations, signed statements, and furious of "Liar, Liar" are fictional and furious. Means seems to be willing to perjure himself to any extent, and is sliding from one side to the other, and is consequently deserted by both parties. His former record and the history of his action in this case would seem to be sufficient to entirely discredit his testimony. Signed affidavits and word of honor seem to mean nothing to him, and in attempting to save himself he has only sank deeper in the mire, dragging lead ra of both parties with him.
And the whole affair only proves that an opportunity time has arrived for a general political house-cleaning, and a good time for the American people to wake up and end out what goes on, instead of leaving the welfare of the nation in the hands of a few party politicians, elected by various well known means because of their political learnings.
WHY ARE WE HERE?
Did you ever stop to think why it is that you are attending the University? Of all the subjects students are thinking about perhaps this is one on which least time is spent.
When asked why he is here the average student evades the question, perhaps because he hasn't thought enough about it to know or if he knows the real reason is ashamed
to tell it. After much probing, one who really wants to know can discover a variety of reasons.
Perhaps the largest percentage of students are hire because they believe it's the thing to do or because their parents send them. Some are here because it seems the natural course of events after finishing high school just as one goes on to high school after finishing ward school. Many students are here because of a desire for professional training or to better their position in life by being able to earn a greater salary. Some want the prestige of a college degree, a small number come merely to have a good time, and a few girls are accrued of coming to the University F search of a husband.
How many of us are here seriously that we receive a higher education and find that "life" referred to in the inscription over the door of Spencer "Whoso Findeth Wisdom Findeth Life." Many of us think we are here for this reason when in reality we fall into one of the other classes with a purpose much less worthy.
Our purpose in being here most necessarily influence our attitude toward our work. We naturally put in our time and energy in attaining our goal no matter what it is. The state of Kansas spends approximately $250 a year on each student or $1000 piece if he stays in school for the entire four years. Is it fair to the nagle of the state who so generously send us here that we might receive higher education, if we come here merely for selfish purposes? Can we afford to waste their money and our time?
More and more students each year at enrollment time thank the University authorities that they are required to fill a certain number of groups in the different departments before going into their professional training.
NEW ATTITUDES
This feeling of trust in the wisdom of the college authorities for this step is significant of a great advancement in the mental attitude of the younger generation.
At last they have realized the real purpose of college—the they have differentiated it from a trade school. They come to college now with the desire to brush their intermind—their imagination. They want to take as many subjects as possible, in as many different departments as possible—so that they will be somewhat familiar with any question that may be under discussion. They have caught the spirit of the real educated person—not the one who is the prodigy in his own one little field and ignorant of the cost of the world; but the one who is respected in his circle of acquaintances as a connexion of practically every subject; theOVed person to whom the whole circle turns to for opinions—the fortunate one whom they all listen to and quote.
One can go in an apprentice and learn a trade in several weeks, but it takes years and years of study to be able to comment upon the trades and situations of ones neighbors.

more than 3,500 students enrolled, the majority power the doctor bill for the minority. Many students pay $24.43 during their four quarters of college without getting a single pill in return.
As I said before, we are our objective to the total amount of the reservation fee, but feel that it is unwieldy apportioned. Why not cut down the hospital fee to $2.00 and take an additional $4.00 fee to be used in the crossing the number of reference books in our new library? - D. S.
