THE DIFFERENT FRESHMEN
The student body is not only larger than ever this year but different. The students who go to make up the freshmen class are not the same class of students who have appeared for the first time on the campus in previous years. A large per cent of the first year men were "over there" and many of them are older and more experienced than the upper classmen. They have seen real service and many are eligible to wear wound stipes, and more than one gold stripe. They are real men and have returned and taken up a real work. They will make K.U. a better K. U. and bring into our student life the loyalty to the school which they were enthusiated with while fighting for their country.
The freshmen this year are to be honored more than down trodden as in former years. These students are a class that will be doing big things in later life and start their successful career off right here on the Hill When they graduate they will be better men than the average graduate and will be better qualified to go into the world than most college graduates. K. U. appreciates what they did oversacres appreciates what they did oversacres also appreciates the return of all former students who were in the service and the spirit of the service should be bouldined into the spirit of K. U.
THE ANNUAL SCRAMBLE
The same old waiting in line from sunrise and earlier, the same old crush before and after the doors open, the same old second-choice courses—in short, the same old scribble to enroll. That was K. U's opening day in 1919, and it wasn't a bit different from other years.
Once upon a time numbers were drawn to determine the order of enrolment, and no one stood in line for hours that day. Had such a drawing been held in connection with registration, no women would have fainted Tuesday, for each student would have been reasonably certain as to when his turn would come.
Some day signs will be put up over the doors of the gymnasium saying who should enter. And that day no senior will find himself in the freshman line, unless he has left his hirsutum at home. And if the powers that be are ever persuaded to provide separate entrances for the classes, more than one student will be saved from an all-day ground.
With no instructions except where and when, upperclassmen as well as freshmen find themselves always regarding enrollment as a highly unpleasant ordeal. And if one forgets the honor system and quits the line to climb through a window—you can't blame him much, can you?
THOSE ADVISERS
The average student doesn't feel the advice of his duly assigned adviser helps him the slightest in getting through school. The faculty member who occupies that position enrolment day he regards mainly as an old busboy who wants him to fill groups instead of taking the "snaps" he has selected. The freshman consults his adviser perhaps more during the year, and then only through curiosity.
The School of Engineering is beginning a new system which should be copied and carried out in the other schools of the University. The new men at Marvin Hall are receiving individual attention from faculty members, who believe the new plan will cut down K. U.'s percentage of technical school failures. And the personal element involved will be found to produce a higher grade of work among the new students.
If each student has one good friend among the faculty, much will have been accomplished toward a better understanding between the teachers and the taught. A friendly conversation will do more good than a formal "conference." Every instructor should be able to see things from the viewpoint of the student, and it is just as essential for the student to receive the benefit of the instructor's experience.
In planning a course or a career, the talk with the friendly prof should be a first step. His opinion or advice, whichever he prefers to give, need not be followed by the student, but it should be well-founded enough as to bring good results if put into action.
Making out a schedule for all four years' work as early in the freshman year as possible is recommended by an old student as the best way of getting all there is out of the college curriculum.
WORKING ON SCHEDULE
"Of course it isn't possible to select one's line right at the start every time," is the way he tells it, "but if a fellow knows what he's going to do, he should run his work by schedule. Most of the work in engineering and similar lines is mapped out, and when the technical man has completed his education, he has something concrete to make a living with.
"But many college students," continued the upperclassman, "who begin by taking the prescribed courses in their freshman year, together with what their friends consider snaps, finally select their major chiefly by accident, and leave school with a bit of polish and a bit of information but little better fitted for making a living when they left high school.
"Mapping a complete schedule for four years, to be followed as closely as the hours at which the courses are given will allow, gives one a definite goal toward which to work. There's no reason why a college man shouldn't use the schedule plan to advantage as well as the engineer."
THE SEARCH.
The paragraph that follows was written by Mr. Heywood Brown as part of a book review in the New York Tribune;
THE SEARCH FOR MEN
"It is something of a blot on all forms of art in America that in no profession except baseball is the search for new talent diligent and careful enough to cover every village and hamlet. If Al Simpkins or Joe Spraggles, in the tiniest of update towns, can throw a good curve and get it over the corners, John McCraw or Pat Morman or somebody also will give him his chosen team in fast company. Opera impressaries and book publishers are not so far-reaching in their investigations nor so quick to act."
Are banks so quick to act? Are the large industrial companies? Are the churches? The search for new talent occupies much of the time of the executives of any large organization. Not McGraw nor Moran alone, but the university is the country for new players; every club has scouts that watch the games in small cities, and even on sand labs, like Men like Bob and Speaker are discovered as the result of this process; and not these great players only, but also all the other men who have made the standard of ability in baseball so high. No team of a large city, not many, will be able to tolerate real incompetency very long at any position. Managers buy a few players from each other, but most of them men come to them as a result of close investigation in small
towns. It is a big part of the baseball business and a profitable idea for any other business that needs more men or better men. The recruit needs training, of course, but he receives that training when he comes out of his seclusion and goes to work for a first rate boss. "Collier's."
Congress must be a notorious bit of example of what ought not to be if we are to believe half what the well postmen and speakers have to say about them.
With enrollment and the first grand rush over, students can now get down to business and the women start getting homesick.
Along with other trusts comes the Lawrence boarding club trust. The big clubs set the price and force the students to enroll in classes that are solitely essential that a student eat.
The business men have formed a rooters club. It's about time the students get some such organization.
The word "big" will no doubt be overused this year as it will be applied to the year, the student body, the classes, the faculty, the athletic candidates, and perhaps the crowds at athletic contests.
With the influx of high powered motor cars for "rush week" the Journal-World observes that the week was one of the busiest days for the city speed regulations.
Many freshmen who have dates broken or the had organization fail to turn up cannot see the idea of calling the first week "rush week."
