Rushee Forgets Skirt in Dither for Date . . . Victory Banquets in Order . . . Student Court Gets the Gong . . . A Mugwump Muses . . . This and That . . . Midnight Mistake Ends in Apologies . . .
A rushes at the Theta house was carefully preparing herself. Why? Because she was going to have a date with her girlfriend, and any girl who is a rushes is interested in. She wasn't, or thought she wasn't too eager, but when the boy was announced, the girl, Rubah Hudson from California, came out completion of her date preparations.
Ruth gave her hair that final pat so necessary to the perfect coiffure, grabbed her hat and started down stairs. Half-way to the bottom, she stopped, stunned, turned, and felt a shiver. She moved to the guest room. You see, she had forgotten her skirt. Her embarrassment lasted through the entire evening.
At the last minute, the PSGL's decided to hold their victory banquet in Lawrence instead of Tonganoxie. The Pacchancey already had decided that they would be one but one decent place in that town to have a banquet one of them had to change locations. Plenty of everything, including food, was assured the parade would go on, and affairs in Tonganoxie, trouble would probably have been brewing.
One of the Hill sororites is satisfying the student court. Not so long ago someone broke a china dog that was a pet about the place. After the dog had been had to rest with fitting ceremony, a prosecuting attorneys, judge appointed to find the culprit who did the disastrous deed Fun at college?
Marion Ellett who spoke the journalism classes yesterday, is a graduate of Smith College and editor of the column, "Mugwump Musings," which appears in the Concordia Blade Empire and in the Kansas City Journal-Post. In speaking of the editors in Kansas newspapers, she stated that on Friday, a few of the editors thought seriously enough to be logical in their writings.
"Take the question of prohibition, for example," said Miss Ellett, "editors think with their livers instead of their heads."
This and That: The laws still stink, according to the sign in green paint that graces their steps. I . . . wonder if the girl who broke her engagement because the lady admired Mr. Dionne, has seen fit to reanimate him in her affections. In Italy she would probably be ousted for lack of patriotism. So she would have to have the University students in a lea-ting to decide whether or not they should carry raincoats to school. . . . The next issue of the Sour Owl will be so pure that you can take it home to your mother and sister—the trouble is that they probably won't get much of a secret laugh out of it.
The student who bit a visiting father with a pillow, fooring that gentleman to leave the fraternity house and the boy's room in which he had been a graduate. He was last weekend came in very late and, as was his custom, ordered his roommate out of bed so that they could have a miniature full test. The boy, a member of one of the Hill frats, wore a suit and sat at Saturdays night tip-toe affair and so turned on the lights. No response came from his roommate's bank so he heaved the only thing that he had at hand—a shoe. Up rose the victim of the shot with a hollow, probably thinking that this woman would be his wife. Both thought they had considerable explaining to do when they discovered each other under the lights.
Reserve Officers' Meet Closes
Maj. Raymond F. Edwards, instructor in the R.O.T.C.战术, on "Infant in Attack" yesterday morning at the Wichita Falls Convention association of America. The meeting was the closing session of a three-day convention held there. Officers were also elected in this meeting and it was decided that a convention will be held in Wichita.

'Mugwumpess' Tells Journalists How To Succeed
Miss Elett believes that lack of clear thinking, lack of clear writing, ignorance and epismen are the main reason for the poor editorials of today. In the talk she gave to the morning classes Miss Elett dealt at length upon the editorial. She stated that if a writer were honest and sincere in what he would regardless of subject matter, he would come ahead in the long run.
"Anybody's success depends upon his personal success," said Miss Marian Ellett, well-known Kansas columnist, in her address to journalism students yesterday. Miss Ellett is the author of the widely read Muruge Mupings who runs in the Kansas City Journal-Portland and the Concordia Blade-Enpire.
In the afternoon, Miss Elett spoke to the University women. The purpose of her talk was to give her listeners a lesson in how to be sure she saw it on her recent visit. Two things to remember, according to the speaker, in traveling through Mexico were: take several cans of instant coffee and leave some Noric ideas of supremacy.
The coffee served in Mexico is a distasteful beverage for most Americans, hence the cans of coffee. The Mexican civilization is about 10,000 years old and, as a rule, the people are a happy race, which accounts for the advice to leave behind all adverse ideas. This would be less likely if the people would be able to drink it.
"It's terrible to think of going above with such a wonderful country next door," the closing remark made by Miss, Ellett.
the members of Theta Sigma Phi journalistic sorcery, entertained Mira Ellett with a luncheon, and the Alpha Delta with a tea after lettt with a tea later in the afternoon.

Lindley To Speak At Commencement Ceremonies
Chancellor E. H. Lindley will be honored and will further signal his fifteen years of service at the University of Virginia, where he received fourth annual commencement address to this year's graduating class. The request for Chancellor Lindley to deliver the address was made by the alumunian committee of commencement activities.
Bishop Wise of Topela
Will Give Baccalaureate
Sermon Sunday, June 7;
Program Shortened
Chancellor Lindley's address will be the first to be delivered by a chancellor of the University since 1891, when it was given by Chancellor F. H. Snow. Addresses formerly were made individually to the Normal class. College chancellors were added in 1885 when more schools were added; one address was then delivered to the graduates of all the schools as is the custom at the present time.
Due to the fact that an unusually large number of persons are to graduate this year, the entire commencement program is to be shortened. The estimated number of persons to have names on the commencement list is 1150, some 200 greater than last year, and by far the largest ever to be.
Program Shortened
A member of the board of regents will be designated to represent that body and make official presentation of diplomas, and Governor M. A. L. Murdock is expected to follow his practice of conducting internship exercise, mentoring exercises, and speaking briefly.
The commencement exercises will be held on Monday, June 8, and will be preceded by the baccalaureate services on Sunday, June 7. The baccalaureate will be conducted in Wise, with Topека, and bihop of the Kansas Episcopal church.
Bishop Wise was rector of St. Martin's church in South Omaha, Neb. from 1902 until 1909; and the Church of the Holy Communion in St. Louis, Mo. from 1909 until 1915. He is president of the Union Nursing, Christ's Hospital, in Tocheca.
Bishop Wise, who was consecrated cadiator bishop of Kansas in 1895, is a native of Scotland, but came to the United States in 1888 at the age of 13. He was a student at the University of Nebraska from 1888 to 1898 inclusive, and a graduate of the General Theological Seminary in 1900, from which he received a D.D. degree in 1918. He was deaconed deacon in 1902, and priest in 1903.

In contrast to these facts of food foliage of the past, which are displayed on the bulletin board of the department store, they are present in those of the present which may seem equally ally to our future generations.

Nichola said that it was not the intention of the board that the plan should bar any other candidates from eligibility for position. The board intended to make provision for experienced men. The board has found difficulty, in the past, in obtaining experienced men owing to a lack of assistants familiar with the duties of the position.
An Experiment
"The board views this frankly, as an experiment but they are hoping that it will contribute to the improvement of the Jayhawk." Nichols said.
The selection of the four assistants will come early in the fall, with the first assistant being the front office and the business manager. They will designate which of their two assistants they favor to fill their positions and they are free to make any other re-

Compromise Bill Given Consideration By Senate Group
Washington, May 12. (UP)—A "comprison" tax hill embracing the main objectives of President Roosevelt's bill less drastic in scope than the $803,000,000 measure passed by the House took shape rapidly after a tortious session of the rebellious Senate Committee.
The blockade in the committee was broken when President Roosevelt sent word to Chairman Harp Harrison, Donna Reagan and Jimmy Carter in a bill which met his demands for additional revenue and which would encourage a larger distribution of corporate revenue.
With this assurance the committee turned to consideration of several proposed revisions in the House bill which would:
1. Eliminate the proposed repal of the capital stock tax. This levy, however, would be reduced from $1.40 to $1.00 a thousand.
2. Change the proposed corporate profit tax plan to continue the flat 15 per cent tax on corporation income and impose surse-tax ranging up to 45 per cent on undistributed profits exceeding 50 per cent of net earnings.
3. Grant exemption to corporations making purchases of machinery and other materials which stimulate the heavy goods industry.
4. Grant leniency to railroads emerging from receivership.

William Jardine Expresses Distrust Of Farm Policy
Discusses Own Scheme for Agriculture Relief at Last Student Forum of Year
Problem Before War
Dr. Jardine expressed his distrust of New Deal agricultural policies. He proclaimed his belief that the New Dealers were striving to better the farmer, but he persisted in doubling his efforts of their methods of about going it.
A Kansas farmer who was transplanted from his native heath, but who came back to it to raise wheat, spoke to the ninth and last forum audience at the annual convention of Dr. William Jardine is a Kansas wheat farmer, and he has not permitted the intervening years as Secretary of Agriculture or as president of Wichita University to obcure that invincible crop may permeates every wheat farmer's being.
The farm problem has been with us longer than we think, according to Mr. Jarndine. In fact, it started just before the war, but it was prevented from becoming acute by the war boom. It struck with its full force after the last hurry of war prosperity in 1919, and in the subsequent years during the so-called property wars.
"We can't have a higher standard of living by curtailing production," said Dr Jardine. He elaborated on his plan of paying the lower third of the farm—in three-fourths of their wheat. The middle and upper third could sell the rest of their wheat abroad at whatever price they could get for it, but all the farmers would be protected to the extent of seventy cents for most of their wheat.
Two Philosophies
"There are two economic philosophies in this country," he asserted. "The first is that of the steel people, who believe that prices should be lower than it is necessary to lay off men and agricultural production to do so. But agriculture believes that if the price goes down, farmers should produce more wheat, not less." He emphasized that agriculture viewpoint was the better.
Curtailing agriculture has put as many men out of work as has any other industry, and the effect of cut-off crops is to make more real than apparent. Dr. Jardine would be willing to pay the farmers to raise up to five hundred million dollars in crop insurance, the amount the American people really need for subsistence. But there's not enough money in the country to make proportionate payments in every in-
He said the dreath was the only thing that had forced wheat prices up. The AAA operated in Kansas last year, but still the state planted more wheat than he did. He said Haugen bill, designed to raise wheat and commodity prices, and backed by such men as Henry Wallace, George Beard, and William Beard in principle, but wouldn't work out in practice, he said. However came in with his Farm board, and tried to buy up all the wheat in the country. But Mr. Wallace was not sure the way to get it out of the way.
"Government owned wheat is the most embarrassingly visible wheat in the market," she said. "The market bearish. The price pinks when surpasses are so visible and ap-
Dr. Jardine predicted that co-operative marketing among farmers and consumers would eventually solve the problem. He urged that the government should turn sub-marginal land now in cultivation back to grass, using the dairy products grown to raise the standard of living. He predicted the creation of uniless new forests are created on worn-out land east of the Miasmaiien.
"I'm not discouraged," he ended. "The depression has made the Earl realize that a farm problem exists. The air is dirty and heavy, and the farmer, until after November."
Dr. Jardine was introduced by Chancellor E. H. Lindley, John Phillips, new president of the Men's Student Council, presided at the meeting. This forum will be the last until renewal of the series next year.
