STUDENTS NEED A BUILDING
G. O. FOSTERWOULD HAVE COMMON MEETING PLACE.
At Cornell, Ohio, and Pennsylvania the Registrar Found Building Exclusively for Students.
"While I was buzzing around the different universities and colleges on my trip East, gathering data upon how the registrar's office was looked after, I noticed another feature in college life which particularly interested me," said Registrar Geo. O. Foster, today. What I have reference to is the students' buildings. At Cornell, Ohio State and Pennsylvania are buildings put up and used exclusively for the students; for a common meeting place when they are on the campus, as a place for mass meetings, student councils, elections and numerous other activities.
"But particularly what is to be gained by such buildings is the fact that it brings the students closer together. It makes it much easier for them to become acquainted. I am mighty strong for such a building and I think that the next building put up here should be such a one."
Speaking of the data he had gathered regarding the registrar's office, Mr. Foster said that Kansas had the best system, because it was simplest and easiest to handle. Here the loose leaf system is used for permanent records and in case of a fire, they could be removed in little time and with but little difficulty. In the East, among the majority of the larger schools the card system is used. It is bulky, Mr. Foster said, to say the least. At Cornell, he said, the permanent records consist of cards that are forty-four inches long.

How prone a man is to borrow the figurative language he employs from his immediate environment!

To the editor of The Kansan: Isn't our newest fraternity losing an opportunity to forward the movement towards culture that is apparent in some quarters of our student body? I happened to pass by the fraternity house the other day and noticed the letters "Pi Upsilon" in English letters on the door glass. That is good and proper as far as it goes, but I should like to see the Greek letters either above or below the English inscription. Then it would be a complete lesson in Greek to those students who, like myself, have gained their whole knowledge of Homer's tongue from the inscriptions on fraternity houses.
