Leroy Robbins, University graduate in 1914, assisted by Lorenzo Fuller and Daisy Tucker, fine arts seniors, presented a short music concert at the Ninth Street Baptist church last night.
Thursday evening Fuller and his K.U. Serenaders, Negro quartet, will sing several numbers for the church audience, in a program sponsored by the young people's department.
Robbins played three groups of violin numbers; Fuller sang "That Wonderful Mother of Mine," and Miss Tucker accompanied both men at the piano.
Economics Prof Lo, The Poor Consumer!
Hot off the press is a new book in the field of economics written in part by Vant W. Kebker, instructor in marketing and economics. The book, entitled "Consumers' Cooperatives in the North Central States" will be brought out for official publication Monday.
Looks at Co-ops
Collaborating with Professor Kebker in the writing of the book were L. C. Kercher, professor of sociology at Western State Teachers College of Michigan, and W. C. Leland, Jr., professor of economics at the University of Minnesota.
The book was edited by R. S. Vaile, professor of economics and marketing at the University of Minnesota and editor of the Journal of Marketing.
The book deals with a discussion of the various types of cooperatives from filling stations and grocery stores to wholesale production in this section of the country.
Analyses of basic community factors involved in successful cooperation, suggested solutions for problems of organization and management, and long range views of the possibilities for price regulation and consumer satisfaction are among the topics discussed.
650 Coronados Begin Rehearsals Section rehearsals of the Coronado Entrada cast of 650 members began Wednesday night in the Armory and will continue five night a
Professor Kebker wrote his section of the book as his doctor's thesis at the University of Minnesota. In speaking of his writing, he said:
"I attempted to point out policies which I think should be followed to render the best service to customers and to improve the operation of the whole economic system by introducing a competitor whose criterion of success is service to the customer rather than profit to the owner."
The book was written to appeal to advanced college students and leaders in the cooperative movement. It will probably be used as a college text and reference book in the future.
650 Coronados Begin Rehearsals
Accompanying Jakosky were Governor Payne H. Ratner and Attorney-General Jay S. Parker. These men met with Sidney Hillman, labor mediator in the office of production management, on labor conditions in this area, and discussed the relief problems of the state with other government officials.
Jakosky Boosts State Industry
J. J. Jakosky, dean of the School of Engineering, returned Tuesday from a trip to Washington, D.C., where he appeared before the site planning committee of the national defense board to talk on the qualifications and possibilities of the state in regard to the location of defense industries.
Jakosky went to Wichita Tuesday night to speak before the Kansas Geological society on "Past and Present Trends in the Exploration for Petroleum."
The government of Argentina, which has been conducting a program of determining the petroleum resources of the country, has sent an inquiry to Jakosky, inviting him to spend the summer in Argentina conducting a summer seminar for government workers on petroleum research work.
Jakosky also conferred with army officials on the technical questions regarding the locations of army cantonments.
Jakosky's textbook "Exploration Geophysics" has been widely used in the exploration work. He will be unable to make the trip because of work here, however.
week until the show is presented, John W. Judd, director of the pageant, said this morning.
Add Brown Section
The Collegiate Digest, a college rotogravure section, will be distributed with the Sunday Kansan next year, L. N. Flint, chairman of the department of journalism, announced today.
A Collegiate Digest representative conferred with the Kansan Board at its meeting yesterday afternoon on the possibility of using the brown section next year.
The Board referred the matter to a committee, which decided this morning to subscribe to the Digest. The committee included Professor Flint, Gray Dorsey, publisher; Rex Cowan, business manager, and Stan Stauffer, Board chairman.
Lawson Ready For Speech Tour
Lawson will give his first graduation address of the season Tuesday at Willis high school. From there he will continue to commencement platforms over the state for more than two weeks.
Commencement time is here again, which means that Dean Paul B. Lawson of the College soon will start his annual speaking program.
On May 14 he will speak at Delphos high school; May 15, at Haven high school; May 16, at Moundridge high school; and May 19, at Meade high school.
He will give two addresses May 20, one at Chapman high school and the other at Ellsworth. On May 21 he will speak at Edgerton high May 22 at Independence high school and junior college; and May 23 at Peabody high school.
He will give the baccalaurate address at the Lawrence Liberty Memorial high school May 25. The last two talks on his schedule will be Burlingame high school, May 26, and Manhattan high school, May 29.
The "Guy With a Future"
Maybe it's a future with the girl— with golf or just a future "with any thing." But notice he's wearing--- McGregor Sportswear — it's the sportswear with a future for life.
Methods of teaching have changed in the last few years, Paul B. Lawson, dean of the College, told members of the Kiwanis club at a luncheon yesterday.
McGregor Sport Shirts -- $1.00 up
McGregor Sport Ensembles $5.00
Slacks — $5.00 up
"The difference is in what the teacher expects the pupil to know," he explained. "English examinations are given to find if there is anything about the course the student doesn't know, while our plan is to find if there is anything about the course the student does know."
Lawson Speaks On Teaching Methods
The grading system has also changed since our parents were in school. Where 30 percent was formerly a passing grade, 70 percent is regarded as passing in most of our schools today.

One of the mistakes which parents make, as suggested by Lawson, is not holding their children to a reasonable expectation of achievement. Some parents expect too much and others too little of their children.
Lawson explained to the fathers in the club that parenthood is a difficult job, and that most parents fail to understand the intellectual standing their children. He also presented them with a quiz and suggested that they grade themselves.
Other mistakes are made by fathers who want their sons to be just like them, or parents who try to make life easy for their children.
"Don't be afraid to let them work hard. Do not send them to college to fit them for an easy life, but to prepare them to do more," Lawson said.
