The rules that have been made for girls in the school and endorsed by the girls of the senior class and all the sororities seem to be having a good effect on some of the evils that have been noticeable in the social affairs of the University. Whether those beneficial results will be so noticeable when the mellow days of May rollaround is problematical. As the temperature goes up it may be the anti-courtship rules will grow less popular. The rules have back of them no compulsion and that is as it should be. Custom, conventionality, habit are, anyway, the strongest elements in any society. It has already come to such a pass that those who break the rules in public attract the attention of students. Let the sentiment become so strong in favor of the rules that there will be no inclination to break them.
A week of school is almost gone and still a number of the Faculty members have not put in an appearance. Now it does not seem to be over severe to state that it seems only fair that those who teach should be here at the opening of school the same as those who are taught. If the absence is caused by attention to University affairs outside of the University, or even by pressing personal affairs the failure of the professors to show up would be excusable.

picked, the basketball league selects the leaders at that game and the annual conference track meet in Kansas City lets people know the best track athletes. By making a baseball league the good work will be completed.
All the doors to Fraser open to the inside. Fraser hall is always the most crowded building on the campus. In case of fire the inadequate means of exit from Fraser hall might occasion the loss of life. If there is not there should be a state law compelling the doors on public buildings to swing both ways or to the outside.
It's a rare high school paper in Kansas this month that has not from one to half a dozen stories with titles that read, "The Wicked Man's New Year's Eve," "Johnny's Last Thanksgiving Turkey," or "A Stocking That Was Unfilled."
