Rudeness at Forums
However intelligent students at Kansas University may be, in certain circumstances some of these students show a disgusting lack of good taste and courteasy. We refer to the display of bad manners which occurred at the Student Forum, Tuesday evening.
The speaker of the evening, Henry J. Allen, is a noted Republican, world traveller, and is supposed to be an authority on modern Europe and its relation to the United States. When he was invited to speak on the forum series, it was understood that he would speak in defense of the institution of capitalism. In fact, the placards, advertising the series, carried the statement that the object of the forums was to present both sides of the argument so that students could better draw their own conclusions upon controversial issues.
We heard the libermals—V. F, Calverton, Bruce Bliven, Norman Thomas, and Anna Louise Strong. Although a great number of students probably disagreed violently with their ideas, the speakers were treated courteously and the questions put to them were prompted by a genuine desire to gain knowledge on the part of the askers.
Quite the contrary happened Tuesday night. There seemed to be a concentrated and organized attack on the speaker. No sooner had Mr. Allen successfully parried one thrust than another was hurled at him. While these questions and answers were extremely interesting to the rest of the audience, no one could reasonably claim that they were anything but disconcerting to the speaker.
It was clear from the beginning that these questions were not asked out of a real desire to gain any information but merely to heckle the speaker, attempt to misconstruse his statements, and cause him to become confused. Such questioning defeats the purpose of the forum by not allowing students who are interested in gaining information, time to ask questions, and by leaving a bad taste in the mouth of conservative speakers.
Tuesday evening's episode proves the truth of the statement, often heard, "No one beckles a Liberai on the University of Kansas campus but woe bethe Conservative who dares to uphold Capitalism."
Now that everybody presumably has paid his income tax, we hope it will be a lesson to him never to try to make any money again.

Now that the Prom Queen election is over we can settle down to thoughts more serious—say, Spring vacation—Indiana Daily Student.
Watkins Memorial Hospital
"I used to gripe about paying that $3.00 health fee," a student in the hospital who had had an emergency appendectomy, "but never again. This is a pretty well place to be."
That same thought must be in the minds of the many students who have been victims of the recent influenza epidemic. Students have found that even in an emergency such as this one, they receive the same efficient service given in normal times. Busy nurses find time to deliver notes,
bring in packages or flowers, or make telephone calls for forgotten articles. Dortors visit each patient twice during the day so that each case is carefully checked.
In an effort to find their reactions to the health service in the time of an emergency, more than fifty patients were visited recently. Not one complaint could be found, and nearly every patient commented upon the good service and the freedom they were allowed as patients.
The recent epidemic has emphasized the value of Watkins Memorial Hospital. Had it not been for this building presented to the university in 1931 by Mrs. Elizabeth M. Watkins in memory of her husband, Jabez B. Watkins, students might not have had the same care and the comforts which they have enjoyed.
The entire student body of the University expresses its appreciation to Mrs. Watkins and to the hospital staff for providing such and unusually fine service. We are indeed greatly indebted to all of these who make Watkins Memorial Hospital a possibility.
The new foundation mentioned for the building of the proposed European peace plan, probably won't help Bloomington's limestone business any.-Indiana Daily Student.

He Took a Hair-Brained Gamble and But His Shirt and Pants and Lost Them Both in--the purpose of the 8 o'clock whistle found that in October, 1914, the Senate they would undoubtedly say that it was a warning whistle to let students period beginning at 8 a.m. This period was a warning whistle to let classes begin a half hour. So also is the 8:20 whistle to classes at 8:30. This adaptation made it a warning that classes start in 10 minutes; But what is the purpose of two whistles? What is the purpose of the dewarring whistles, when they can be heard from a distance within a few blocks of the campus? The dewarling exercises were discontinued two years later, in 1916, but the Calendar committee, in his study of

One of the interesting sidelights discovered by the University Calendar Committee, in its study of class schedules in the past, is the origin of the 8 o'clock whistle, which has been used as a time indicator in school. If the students were questioned as to
Proof, G. W. Smith, chairman of the continued two years later, in 1910, that The Senate reports of that time review Calendar Grant, in his study of the plan of sounding the whistle at 8 that in "a rishing whistle" was blown at 10. I think this is very accurate.
The 8 o'clock whistle is not a warning whistle, which is the common belief, but in reality marks the opening of devotional exercises, which were discontinued 20 years ago. Nor is the 8:20 whistle a warning that classes start in 10 minutes, but in the signal that devotional exercises are over for that day.
