Union is on Hillside.
Below the cafeteria is the sub-
bascment, which, because the
Union is built on a hillside, opens
directly out on the street running
back of the Union and stadium. On
this floor will be insatlled a soda
fountain, book exchange, game
rooms for pool, b illiard ard ping
pong, and possibly other rooms for
various uses will be incluudcd.
At present in the subbasement
there are seven rooms for meet
ings of campus organizations and
for offices. These are divided by
temporary partitions and are not
finished within or furnished ex
cept for plain chairs and tables.
They are used frequently, however,
by a large number of organiza
tions. The Women's Student Gov
ernment association has its book
exchange running all of the time
in one of them wh'.le the manager
of the annual publication, the Jay
hawker, uses another room part
of the time.
Going back up stairs, one story
above ' he lounge, is the main party
and banquet room. The memorial
corporation has been unable to do
anything toward finishing this, so
the students, from fees paid vol
untarily, have installed an excel
lent floor and have moved in." For

The Union is not a bad place in
which to nold a dance or banquet
row. Month by month more par
ties are held htere. With a soda
fountain installed in the building
and the ballroom permanently fin
ished and decorated, the Union is
lucky dances and all seem to have
a wonderful time.
Fee System Changed.
Last semester the voluntary fee
system was changed and fees were
divided into two classifications.
Payment of $1 gave the student a
membership card in the Union for
a semester, while payment of $2.60
gave the honor of being a con
tributing member. Of approxi
mately 4.200 paying fees, 2,310
psld the 1 fee and 34 psid the
S2.n0 contributing fee.
In places where the state laws
permit ,lt, there is no question but
that a compulsory fee should be
ch-,ged all students. While the
Union is perhaps out of the sphere
of activities which a state will or
even should provide from money
raised by taxes, yet it Is a function
of a university which should be
considered a necessity and ia iorae
thing which al lthe students should
support and then take part in.
One function of the Union at
Kansas which should be called to
the attention of anyone interested
in the building of a Union, is its
drawing power as a magnet for
gifts. The graduating classes as
early as 1922 began planning their
memorial gifts for use in we
Union. The class of '22 gave a
beautiful chime clock, '23 provided
a fireplace, '24 put up a bronre
plate dedicatng the building, '2b
provided a decorative window, '2T
gave a large amount of furniture
and planted vines aoout me ouua

Fraternity men and women who
have their own pretentious nouses
have been saying this past fall
what they have never said before,
"We must all meet at the Union.
This business of living within one's
own group all the time will never
get one anywhere." Non-fraternity
men and women are finding at the
Union a welcome and friendly as
sociation they hadn't known be
fore. They all like it.
Some day the Union at Kansas
will be more than twice as large
as it is now, and will have all the
facilities of a modern club a

as you enter, elaborate game
rooms, a myriad of small dining
roms. partv rooms large and small,
perhaps a swimming pool, noisy

Politics Combine.
Factional politics have entered
a new era during the last two
days. All three opposing groups
have combined in an order that
they may make a concerted drive
for a new student union building.
It is the first time in history that
campus factions have temporarily
consolidated. There is a case on
record where the Blue Shirts and
Yellow Jackets united in order to
defeat the barbs, but never before
have all three decided to w6rk to
gether. This era of political har
mony will undoubtedly be very
short lived. As soon as another
election rolls around the three di
visions will be back in their re
spective canoes, paddling with
vigor for a victory in the spring
student council election. I

Problems Remain.
Many problems remain to be
worked out before this partially
formed plan can be completed and
put into effect, one big problem
being the maintenance of satisfac
tory accrediting relationships with
j other colleges. Other questions in-

question of the many students who
work anda ttend the university
only a quarter or two at a time,
and who are in search of a degree.
President Clapp desires to get as
nearly as possible the student opin
ion of the plan. "Will they like
the idea of few comprehensive ex
aminations and of less restricted
classes?" he asks. "We will have
to get the student angle on a num
ber of problems before we can put
the plan into working order."

Drastic Revision in State

Possibility.
BOZEMAN, Mont. Plans for a
drastic change in the present edu
cational system at the state uni
versity have been partially com
pleted and were presented by
President Clapp to members of tne
faculty just prior to the end of the
fall quarter. Faculty members at
that time expressed almost unani
mous approval of the proposed'
rhanges so far as they had been
outlined.
According to President Clapp,
the general idea is to do away
with the present multiple-checking
system to which the student is
subjected and against which he is
quite naturally rebelling. It is be- ers dropped only two decisions.

from it at opposite ends, the men's
lounge and the women's room.
All lounge rooms are furnished
with leather covered over-stuffed
chairs and divans, reading tables,
radio, game tables, including chess,
checkers and ping pong, and, in
the men's lounge, a fireplace. This
alleyway and spries of lounges has

It is a delightful place for a between-class

ing a radio report of a world's

tor Miller is anxious to find suit
able material for the remaining
feminine role and for the pony
lieved that the present grading and
crediting system employed here is
far from satisfactory to either stu
dents or faculty members, and in
view of the university's progress
during the last ten years contem
plation of a change in the near
future is well justified.
Division Into Colleges.
In general it is proposed to di
vide the state university into a
junior and a senior college, com
posed of freshmen and sopho
mores, and juniors and seniors,
respectively. In each of these col
leges, a certain minimum of hours
will be required of the student but
there will be no maximum limit
and he may carry as many hours
or as many subjects as he desires
and feels that he can properly
handle.
At the end of the sophomore
year the student will take a com
prehensive examination covering
the first two years, which he will
either pass or fail, and students
who have carried merely the min
imum amount of studies will lie
especially questioned on their
other activities and on their gen
eral accomplishments before being
admitted to junior standing. At
the end of the senior year, when
the student is ready for his de
gree, he will take a second similar
comprehensive examination, and
an outstanding student will be
graduated with honors.
Four-Year Requirement.
Students will be required to
have four years of college work
irrespective of the credits they
may have accumulated, in order to
secure their degrees, according to
the plan. This means that the un
usually brilliant student will not be
permitted to graduate ahead of his
class, but will be permitted to take
as many courses as he wishes each
year in order to profitably occupy
his time.
On his last quarter's trip to the
Atlantic coast. President Clapp
conferred with various industrial
and commercial experts, and they
agreed generally that the greater
physical and mental maturity of
the four-year college mann made
him vastly superior in his work
to the brilliant student who rushed
through college in two or three
years, or who had entered college
at too vounr an ace. This rule
Iowa State has a significant
record this year. In an eastern
tour the Cyclone throwers encoun
tered the Army and two other
teams within 24 hours and did not
lose even one decision. Hugo Op
topalik, a former letterman in
football and wrestling at Ne
braska, is coach at Ames.
Numeral Meet Influences.
The numeral wrestling meet that
will be held within the next two
weeks has influenced a large num
ber of men to start working out.
Any man who has not engaged in
varsity competition is eligible.
This includes all freshmen and up
perclassmen as well.
There will be no men graduating
from the varsity squad this year so
John Kellog is planning on a
breezy bunch of matmen next sea
son from the all-veteran group
that will be on hand.

(Dally Trojtn )
Approximately 85 percent of the
male students of the University of
Southern California earn part or
an of the expenses involved in ob
taining a sheep-skin, according to
Charles Boren, director or the S.
C. employment bureau which has
been instrumental since its incep
tion in 1928 in placing numerous
students and graduates of the Tro
jan institution in remunerative po
sitions. The bureau is sponsored
by the university's General Alumni
association ot which Merritt
Adamson is president.
That the opportunity is current
for determined youth to obtain a
degree and at the same time take
care of themselves financially is
being denonstrated by 30 percent
of the men of Troy who are doing
that very thing at the present
time, states Boren. Besides this,
25 percent earn one half of their
college expenses and another 30
percent earn one quarter. Nor are
the coeds of the institution far be
hind when it comes to earning
money to help defray college ex
penses. Christmas Jobs.
In furthering the employment of
ambitious and industrious college
students the campus employment
bureau placed 962 people enrolled
in the university, many of whom
were women, during the last
Christmas vacation who earned
J21.853. Since September of last
year the bureau has found 325a
positions for Trojan students and
alumni which have earned in that
time $115,740. Students from the
S. C. evening school, university
college, are also benefited by this
campus office.
Calls from practically an imag
inable classes of occupation have
been answered by Southern Cali
fornia students; owing to the uni
versity's large enrollment some
one nearly always can be found
who is capable along the required
lines. Strange as are some of the
applications that come in, the rec
ords of the employment bureau
show that it is stranger still if
some enterprising Trojan cannot
be found to fi'l the specifications.
Research laboratories, architects
offices, recreation parks, hospitals,
prospecting expeditions, theatrical
companies, engineers' offices, bac-1
tenological laboratories, manui&c
turing concerns desiring salesmen,
advertising; agencies, libraries, car
toonists, tea rooms, hotels, social
welfare institutions, and motion
picture studios habitually have
sent in requests for nigniy special
ized workers to the S. C. place
ment office and all have been pro
vided. Because of the wide var
iety of capabilities represented by
the S. C. students, the placement
bureau has been of great value to
employers.
Calls Are Varied.
As a specific example the bu
reau recently supplied the call for
a male nurse. At about the same
time a motion picture studio came j
to the University of Southern
California and found what it hadi
been looking for: girls who could
ski-jump. Calls for Filipino stu

Cliche First Made
Vse of "Freshman
As Word in 1558
(Ohio Suit Lnurn
It took "cheek" to refer to the
first year men as "freshmen" way
back in 1558. Anyway, the first
record we have of the use of tho
word "freshman" is found In a
manuscript written by one Cheke
in that year. He wrote, "le go
about both bi see and land to
maak oon freschman." In 1627
Middleton used the word in this
expression in the "More Dissem
blers" "I'll trust no freshman
with such secrets."
Perhaps the earliest usage of
"sophomore" as pertaining to a
class was used at Cambridge, In
1688: "The several degrees of per
sons In the University colleges are
Fresh Men. Sophy Moores, Junior
Soph, or Sophester, and lastly the
Senior Soph."
Later, in a magazine published
in 1795 was the following sentence
"The freshman's year being ex
pired, the next distinctive appella
tion conferred in a Soph Mor.
Still later came the spelling sophi
more, and finally, the spelling
used today.
"Junior" was used in 1766 bv
Pierce in a "History of Harvard;"
"That the Senior Sophisters shall
attend the Tudor Annon Mondays,
that the Junior Sophisters shall at
tend B on Mondays."
in 18S8 Erycc in "The Ameri
can Commonwealth" made the fol
lowing statement: "In an Ameri
can college the students are
classed by years, those of the first
year being called freshmen, of the
second sophomores, of the third
juniors, and of the fourth seniors."
Last of all comes senior, mean
ing a more advanced student
worthy of deference by reason of
age. In 1612 the word was used by
Brinsley, and in 1648 Winyard in
"Midsummer Moon" says: "Doc
tors and Seniors are too tough for
continual cramming."
Annual initiation of pledges will
be held by Wesley Players this
evening at the Wesley Foundation
parsonage at 6 o'clock. The din
ner has been postponed and the
exercises will begin promptly on
the hour. Miss Carolyn Cooper,
president, has requested that all
active members and pledges be
present on time.

Miller expects to begin rehear
sals next week, since the building
of the spring show was delayed
until his acceptance of the direc
tor's position.
"High and Dry" was written for
an all male cast by William T. Mc
Cleery. author of "Don't Be Silly"
and "Sob Sister," Kosmet Klub's
last two spring shows. It involves
the activities of a group of sailors
and a party of ultra fashionable
society men and women. ' Since
much of the success of the show
depends upon the suitability of the
feminine actor-actresses, the club
is being particularly careful in its
selection of students to take these
parts. Thursday evening's tryout
will be the last chance for dramat
ically ambitious undergraduates to
apply for the 1931 show and road
trip.
