OUR VARSITY PARTIES
Dean Amanda Heppner has asked
fraternities and sororities not to
schedule house parties on the eve-
nines Varsity uances are i
in the University Coliseum. Members
in ine J V'
or Me university j
have teiepnonea ecn

Now it is heard arouna me campus;
ftiat the Dean of Men will take the
same attitude. The opinions of these
persons are worthy of the attention
of fraternities and sororities when
they plan parties in the future.
The University Party committee
is doing all in its power to put this
idea across to the students as a more
or less unwritten law which in the
future will be adhered to. The com
mittee realiies it will be idifficult to
take these steps at once.
Before the second Varsity Dance
was held, every fraternity and sor
ority was notified of the affair and
asked not to schedule house parties
for that night. All but one Greek let
ter organization agreed ; one sorority
would not answer favorably. Those
who were willing to cooperate were
in an overwhelming majority, how
ever, and the plan is getting along
fairly well.
No steps for enforcement will be
taken this fall, announces one mem
ber of the committee. If the Greeks
can be made to see the principle in
volved without drastic rules, so much
the better. The committee hopes to
accomplish its aim by Christmas.
Dean Heppner and Dean Chatburn,
however, could easily put the taboo
on parties by refusing to schedule
them for certair evenings when th
organizations come up in advance to
make arrangements. At present, all
that is done is to remind the people
that they are scheduling their parties
on the night of a Varsity Dance, and
asking them to refrain from this in
the future.
October SO seems to be a logical
date for bouse and downtown par
ties. There is also a Varsity Party
scheduled for that evening. Perhaps
in this case we can overlook the fact,
for the Greeks have not become ac
cuainted with the idea of giving up
parties. But after that date the Var
sity Party committee hopes to have
the complete cooperation of all
Greeks in school.
It is "Do or Die" for the Varsity
Parties this year. If we are to get
away from our selfish, undemocratic
social habits we must do it now. We
now have a dance floor large enough
to accomodate all who wish to come
and a Party committee which is
working hard and doing all that it
an to make the Parties a success.
AH that is needed is a willingness
on the part of the student body to
cooperate with the committee and
make the dances the sort of general
TTniversitv narties they should be.
And how much better it is to coop
erate willmriy in this or any other
affair than to be forced to comply
through rules or laws.
KANSAS HOSPITALITY
One of the main benefits of a trip
to an out-of-town football game such
as the one played last Saturday is the
chance to observe another institution
and compare it with our own. Those
who take such trips should take ad
vantage f this opportunity to learn
first hand of the functioning of an
other University.
Among the things which made the
most lasting impressions, the Kansas
hospitality was the thing which will
be remembered longest. We think
that it would be well for the He
hraska students who were there to
t&Ve a lesson and pass on the idea
to the others here at borne,
Lawrence, to begin with, is smaller
tb&n Lincoln and thus people know
more of their townsmen. It is true
that in university town, everyone
vhU'Tt to the students. But when
v!.cre you feel like one of the towns
folk. People on the street srvV to

be of service to you. When riding and
wtiklug about the Kansas campus
rrea ttn& women all speak to you
v V:;i'MT tley know you or not. They
. ! eppin to be extremely pleased
'. hn thry can in some way aid you.
At thfcir Varsity parties they all
1 :-'."? partners hot every dance is a
"cirt-ir." or "tflff1 csneo. It is m

An murh more to make our
Igueat feel at home. We have three
mr. hntn iramei three more chan
ces to improve on our hospitality.
May we profit by our trip to Law

pitality for the remainder of the
season.

There is nothing essentially wrong

But it is confusing and nonsensical,
and there is no good reason for it.
College Press
(The Minneota Daily)
The comparison of foreign educa
tions! standards and methods with
those of our country affords a very
interesting problem particularly
when one finds that often the results
from the methods of the old world
are more satisfactory than those
which the "enlightened" new world
hs to showi. In some fields this is not
entirely true : taken as a whole, how
ever, the European is better equip
ped, in a shorter time and witn more
thoroughness than is the American
student. This fact has been brought
more forcibly to our attention in the
visit of Dr. Heinrich B. PrelL, of
Tharmandt, Saxony, who has recent
ly told Us that students entering a
German university are at least two
years ahead of American students.
That is. th German student has com
pleted many of the courses particul
arly in the field of language Dei ore
he matriculates into a University,
that the American student does not
come to until he begins his collegiate
year.
The reasons for this old world su
periority are many chief among
them is the snirit of thoroughness
and efficiency growing out of the
strong centralization which charac
terizes the European system. There
is also the important fact that the
foreign schools plunge their students
at an earlier age into the more dif
ficult courses of study. Take, for in
stance, the German svstem. When the
student has reached the age of eight
or nine years he has begun his train
ing in foreign languages, and this is
kept up all through bis "grade
school" years.
It has alwavs seemed to us that
there is a great deal of waste motion
in our graded school system. Eight
years seems to be a long time to
learn only the A B C's and the three
"R's" and then ot even to' accom
plish that thoroughly.
In a comparison of European and
American systems of higher educa
tion there are a number of elements
present in the nature of the latter
which make the analogy a little un
fair. In the first place, the aim of
the two systems are somewhat at
