A letliT from J'nul T HttirgiH wiih
received by I'rofoflBor Clinm yenterday
unci Riven over to the tender inercleR
oT tlie Nel)nihkan. HMiirIh "wuh n
Junior in the College of Agriculture
lant year, and In out knocking up
agaitiHt the hard, hard world liiHtead
of returning to University the i1rnt
KemeBter llin letter Ih ftelf-exnlana-tory,
and Ih reproduced below
Sioux City, Iowa.
I'rof. L. W. Chane-
Dear Sir TIiIh Ih not an application
for a Job, aH I have had. all the Jo1h I
can handle I haven't had any trac
tion englnen to handle yet, ho that acci
dents in thin line have been rather
few It ban been my great inlHfor
tune to have been frequently and Hadly
misjudged ICveryone in thlH town
thlngH that becauHe I have been ween
flirting with a traiiHlt on varloun occa
hIouh I am a full Hedged engineer, in
Htead of a lowly agriculturist, and they
have put me to work on Home job
where I have to figure my head off
This year I wiih given a transit and
level and a set of blueprlntH for a
flve-Htpry concrete building, and told
to line in the pier footings and give
them grades. It was like running a
clotlwsllne on a dark night
After that was flnshed I tried news
paper reporting and lasted two weeks,
had the church run, nnd I know why
t hoy call it a run now Those preach
ers had me on the run all the time,
one wiib up in the olucc looking for me
one day, but 1 saw him coming Quoted
one on the Immorality of tight Hkirts
and got in bad again, announced a
K. C. picnic a week before it was held
(all Irish, too).
I am now in a creamery holding my
breath for fear t lint they will ask me
to make a Habcock test before the
book comes with the InstruetloiiH. I
have stalled them off so far by pres
sure of work, and here Is hoping they
don't aBk mo to make some IUJTTER,
for if they do I will be billed for a novr
job. Have written to the dairy de
partment for the shortest little Hhort
course they ever gave; hope It gets
here in time.
Sincerely,
PAUL T. STURGIS

FRATS
A frat is an aggravated form of
Hoelailbillty. living under a common
roof and a commoner name, and point
ing with pride to Its distinguished i
pledges and honored alumni ,
Frats are divided Into fraternities i
and sororities. In mnny instances,
however, the distinction Is indistinct '
Many a house with auriferous hen
tracks on the front door can not be
classified by an examination of its
front porch and parlor
Frat pins, which are cheaper than
engagement rings, and don't have to
be fitted, are worn by frat men over
the fourth floating rib. On frat .women
they climb several notches higher In
stead of pins, pledges wear buttons
and pillows.
The nnme of the frat is placed at the
head of each chapter (Rattier a novel
idea, that chapter thing.) The hiero
glyphics attached to each Hellenic
habitat are one of the greatest incent
ives to the study of the clnsBics. After
a student learns to distinguish between
one of these places and a shoe-shining
i
stand lie becomes fired witli an ambi-
tion to learn more about the cabalistic
symbols Before the fire goes out he
haH found out that a streak of light i
ning, a pitchfork, and a hook and eye,
minus the hook, denotes the resort of i
Sigma Psi Omega. j
Female frats are composed, if you
can call them composed, of pulchrltu-,
dinoiiH pippins, productive of prestige,1
and the other sisters, "who are not ex
actly beautiful but have something aw
fully attractive about them " These
latter, by the way, possess Kansas
farmers and trust magnates for pater-
nal ancestors.
A cIoro approximation of the amount
due on the first chapter house can be I
made by observing the ratio of offens
ive to defensive players. (No offense
meant.) i'rospectlve pledges have been
discovered who qualified for both the
Venus and Hetty Green classes, but
none has ever survived the rushing
reason. Daily Kansan.
