In order, as much as anything, per-
haps, to detract attention from the
things it was not doing, the last Kan
sas legislature passed an antf-high
school sorority and fraternity law
which went into effect in July. To
show how effective such legislation is
in the way of suppressing a Great
Evil the Lambda Alpha lambda,
high school sorority with chapters in
Topeka, Wichita, Denver and SPRING
field, Missouri, will hold its annual
20. The festivities will include dances,
garden parties, teas, luncheons, din
nerS and SO forth. 1t would be hard
to tell what good the anti-high school
fraternity law has done or will do.
The high school organizations have
met since the law went into effect,
changed their constitutions so that no
reference to high school appears in
them and Will continue as town"
societies Instead of restricting their
mr. har n n high school
they can now take in Washburn and
Bethany studentssand the girls and
boys who attend out-of-town schools.
But the dances and. parties and other
frivolities which caused so much I'M
easiness Will go on as before. And
does anybody imagine thataclass feel
ing and class prejudices will be done
away with in the public schools be-
cause the frats are now town clubs
instead of school organizations?

The S. r. has some good hot wealth

perature makes them unreasonable
just now. Here's hoping there won't
be a chance to use them for five years.
