The 'Jalopie'
Robins, young love, and budding greenery aren't the only heralds of spring. The "jalopies" are running. Beat-up wrecks (vehicular) type) are gallivanting along Jayhawk drive again.
type) are gallivanting along busy streets. Yes, it's spring, and we've waited a whole year for it. We'd like to be around to enjoy it next year, too.
Defective brakes can ruin a life in a split second. With the increasing hazards of wormout, unsafe "jalopies" on the campus, the possibilities of tragic accidents have also increased.
The University authorities cannot keep these "things" off the city streets, but they can keep them off the crowded campus. The administration can and should ban from University streets any car that has been checked and found mechanically unfit by a qualified inspector.
The campus driver and pedestrian must be constantly alert. Every one of us risks his life by allowing unsafe "jalopies" on the campus.
The state highway patrol will co-operate by providing stickers for cars that can meet the ordinary safety standards.
for cars that can meet the owner's needs.
Everyone is amused by the sight of an old "jalopie," but why invite tragedy for the price of a few laughs? —Leonard Snyder.
"But that's eight two-hour courses," cried a distraught junior during enrollment. Many juniors and seniors have uttered this same frantic cry when they realized that their time would be taken up by two and three-hour courses, and that they would have to take from six to eight finals.
Junior-Senior Courses
To protect the health and sanity of those nearing graduation, some five-hour courses should be provided for juniors and seniors. A student covers only the surface of many subjects if his energies are divided into numerous courses.
Junior and senior courses are supposed to be specialized courses. It is logical that the more time spent on a subject by the student, and the more attention given him by the instructor, the more specialized will be his knowledge of that course.
An ideal sixteen-hour schedule for junior-senior credits would be two five-hour courses and two three-hour courses. The burden would be lifted, and that helpless scream would no longer echo the length of Robinson symnasium during enrollment. —Ann Allen.

Texas Man Develops Special Breed Of Cattle
Amarillo, Texas—(U.P.)—An Amarillo man is developing a special breed of cattle particularly suited to the Panhandle country.
Lyle Jones says the new breed—a half-and-half cross of Brahma and Aberdeen-Angus—will be some 40 per cent larger and will be immune to such cattle diseases as pink eye and cancer of the eye.
Mr. Jones said hopefully that he believes the new breed will dress to a maximum of 70 per cent. He calls the breed "Indu-Angus". Normally, cattle grown in the Panhandle country dress in at about 50 per cent.
