An honor society should be to a
carnpii what service clubs are to
a city. Owl and .Sachem are to
the university what the chamber
of commerce and the notary club
are to Lawrence. By the activity
of it service club the city of
Lawrence, or any other city, I
known for It degree of aggreswive
public spiritedrioHH and general
progressivenesH. These clubH are
the main spring of municipal ac
tivity, the originator of public
trends and opinions, the regulators
(it local policies. The strength of
these clubs is the measuring stick
lor the strength of the town.
How do our honor societies
measure up to their responsibili
ties? Have they formulated any
desirable programs? Have they
hacked any worthy movements?
Have they, In general, been as
representative of the university as
they should be?
Hy a look at the expenditure In
the KS::-34 treasurer' report we
find that Owl' major expenditure
I Hated at $124.68 for keys. Be
sides the Jayhawker pace expend
itures and other run-of-the-collegc
payments, we find the other two
expenditure that loom largest In
their output are for banquets,
$i!H. Ifi and for cigars ($2.35).
From this it Is apparent that Owl
I useful only to its members, who
do riot necessarily represent any
thing but the foremost politicians
of the campus, not the actual
founders of movements in campus
life.
To say that they have shirked
their duties i to say that they are
not worthy of the name they bear,
that of "honor society." They have
not anything that should warrant
their existence as such a society.
We have on our campua a Union
building as yet uncompleted. So
far as owl ami Sachem are con
cerned It is perfection itself. At
least they have offered no plnn,
nor willingness, to solve its prob
lem. This Is only an example of what
campus problem should demand
I he id f cut ion of honor societies.
There are many more, if Owl ami
Sin hern would care to investigate.
Again we ask, "Are the honor
societies fulfilling their duties to
the campus?" If their major ac
tivities consist of wearing keys,
holding banquets, and smoking
cigars, there is serious doubt that
they are.

they looked especially nice agulnst
this blue iky.
It was pretty warm and the
motor always boiled. When we
came to a little bathing place, we
merely "poodled" with our feet, be
cause our suits were In the bottom
of our suitcases. A large Impres
sion made Palm Beach with Its
immense homes, beautiful gardens
long, long beach. We didn't stay
here long, however because we
wished to reach Miami, so.
In the early afternoon, we
reached Miami. Perchance we got
very nice rooms In a bungalow,
and In Old Heidelberg Inn, we met
about 20 German exchange stu
dent. It was a big, gay meeting.
After dinner we all went to the
beach in our different second-hand
cars. Some bathed, and we en
Joyed the beautiful beach only
until 12 p. m because at 12 a
beach policeman comes and thinks
it's immoral to stay here after
this time, so we drove laughing
home.
Dec. 27 We spent the whole
day bathing, sunning, and resting
at the beach. We exchanged ac
counts of our experiences In Amer
ica. It waa a pity that the others
had to leave for Naples, Florida
Miami waa for us like a dream.
Whenever we hear this name in
the future, we will long for It
especially In the evening. There
is something of smoothness, and a
shine and mellowness about It,
that is fascinating. On the other
hand, we would never think that
we could live there because we are
of a northern race and we would
miss the clearness, the hardness
and the strictness of our country.
Dec. 28 Very early In the mom
lug we left for the Everglades. No
body of us could make himself a
picture of what lay before us. Be
side the highway always flows a
little canal, and the country right
and left waa swampy and wooded,
but the trees were bare of green
a though they had been burnt.
There were innumerable fishes in
th water and all the way there
were anakes, mostly dead.
Then we came to a village of
Seminole Indians. We saw people
cooking and squaws sewing, and
we wondered how funny it is that
these squaws who couldn't under
stand Knglish and were dressed in
their native costumes would be us
ing Singer sewing machines. We
spoke a little with them but we
noticed that they were extremely
reserved; when we looked at them
they didn't look in our eyes ana
we had the feeling as if they would
hate us. It must be horrible to live
on exhibition as such blaring sen
sations. We bought for all of us,
Indian blouses.
In the evening wc said goodbye
to the other exchange students
whom we had met again in the aft
ernoon, and drove into the night.
We wondered about the many fires
near the way. We beard later that
people burned the old leaves so
that new giHss for their cattle
would grow. Since it is prohibited
by the government because it
spoils the soil for the trees thev
were doing it under cover of night.
We sang the whole evening and
came finally to a little place near
the ocean. Venice. This was queer
- large boulevards, magnificent
buildings, but apparently no
houses. The keeper of the hotel
told us that an American million
aire had built the town and he had
lost all of his money before the
project could be completed.

there is nothing you can buy that

ment or pleasure, that I can't also
buy, without either of us straining
our finances. You with your hun
dred million might be able to con
trol legislatures, courts, party con
ventions, and so make your power
felt all over the country."
"It 1 claimed that heavy taxes
upon wealth will not be pc.td by
representatives of wealth." Norrls
continued, "that the government
will be defied; that some way to
avoid the law will be found. This
la a boast made by men of wealth,
who are opposed to such a law.
Thla objection was even urged by
tht secretary of the treasury."
"Ftrgtt Detira for Gold."
"Drive out of your tci that In
satiable and unreasonable desire
for gold." said tht stnator ia con
cluding. "Let your hearts be filled
with love for mankind, with a re
alisation that those who love their
fellow men are most beloved of
God. Let equality reign for all
classes of people In our tribunals
of Justice. Let the hornet of those
who produce the food that gives
life to all of us be owned by those
who till the soil, and who consti
tute the foundation bulwark of
our clvtlitatlon. '
While the audience gathered for
the celebration, the university or
chestra plavc-d Liszt's "Second
Hungarian P.hapsody." Mr. Lenoie
Burkett Vun Kirk sang "Sigh No
More Ladies," by Tompkins and
"It Is Spring," by Wolf. Dr. Ben
jamin F. Wvland delivered me in- ,
vocation. Chancellor Burnett be- ,
stowed the honorary degrees upon j
the three candidates, and the pro-
gram was completed by the sing
ing of "America the Beautiful'' by
the audience.
The chancellor, in introducing
Senator Norris. briefly described
the place of the state university
in the life of Nebraska, and men
tioned its contributions to the
country at large. He also lauded
the work of the speaker and re
called the salient contributions
which he has made to American
government thiough the various
offices that he has held.
