EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Dean Marvin in a chapel talk Tuesday took occasion to score the editors of the last few annuals and the managers of the senior plays for their lack of public spirit in turning over the net proceeds of their work to a benevolent purpose. Well right now we want to take issue with the Dean of the engineering school, and we haven't any graft we want to defend either. The annual is not a paying proposition as a rule unless the manager devotes all his time to it and once in the last two years it has been issued at a loss of a hundred and fifty dollars. Now this loss was not borne by any organization but fell on the "greedy" manager. It is the same way with the managers of plays. They assume the risk of putting on the play, on one hand, with the chance of making a few dollars, but on the other with the liability of losing a sum of money and with the certainty that they are going to lose a tremendous amount of valuable time. Of course there is some compensation in being "boss"; for the material loss you entail on yourself you may get in return a little of that etheral substance called honor you usually make some friends but a great many more enemies and unless you happen to be an exceptional student will have a few flunks at the end of the year to remind you of the public spirit you have shown. In other words college students appreciate the services of one of their numbers about as much as they do chapel speakers and gratitude is not handed out on report cards. 'The instinct of "get and keep" is no more deplorable here than it is outside where the natural instincts of men are even a little sharper than they are here. Better spend our time condemning the same spirit that exists outside college walls, but lets not condone it outside and censure it here when we find it in epitome.
At the University of Washington rules for the regulation of
callers at sororities almost identical with the rules in vogue here have been decided upon by the ladies of the faculty for the governing of the co-eds and as a result there is a tremendous howl being raised. "What is coming next? Is this institution a state university or a kindergarten?" shrieks one indignant co-ed. Another headline in the college paper reads "Sororities will fight new rules to the Bitter End." It appears out in Washington that the faculty is about to force these rules on the students. Here it appears the rules were taken up and adopted by the sororities. A few limited rules in themselves are good but it is the easiest thing in the world to get an excess of rules and it seems there is an inclination of that kind manifest here. Rules to regulate personal conduct and individual choice are as a rule valueless. If the rules of propriety, common sense and morality do not regulate personal conduct the rules of an organization such as fraternities and sororities can not do it any more than the faculty rules at Baker succeeds in improving conditions there.
Theodore Alford, of Topeka, and Conrad Cooper, of Parsons, have been visiting at the Sig Alph house.
Herbert Cowan, a junior in the engineering school, left last night for his home in Abilene where he will vote.
The ladies of the faculty will give a linen shower at the home of Mrs. E. Miller, 1244 Tenn. St. on Nov. 14, for the purpose of furnishing linen for the new university hospital.
The Thetas held initiation for the following girls Saturday evening at their chapter house: Misses Kate Curry, Ellsworth; Katherine Dolman, Topeka; Ethel Chalkley, Lawrence; Helen Sparr, Lawrence; Helen Gleissner, Abilene; Myrtle Rogers, Abilene; Euphemia Smart, Ottawa; Carrie Calhoun, Fort Scott.
