Carnival Time Finds the University as Joe College . . . Petty Politics . . . Beauties Are Rare . . . Twins . . . No Real Campus Jelly Joint . . Barmum-ites . . . Track Meet . . .
It took the W.S.G.A. to put it over. For the first time in many years, the sororities unimilitated enough to preclude Alpha Chi booth, a night club, was the best, for it took much individual showmanship to put it on. The Pi Phi booth left me blank, because so few of them knew how to be known around the Hill. The Kappa had the crookedest game, the putting green—while the Alpha Gamma Delta's,Gamma Phi Beta and Corbin hall controlled the most carnival aspect to the room.
Already the campus mud slingers, the politicians, are at their worst. The latest story concerns a student who became so fantastic in his desire to place as nominees of the P.S.G.L. men whom he happened to desire, that he took all the blank nomination forms delivered to the president, dressed, and filled them out to suit himself.
The number of beauties on the University campus is small. Harely do sororites designate as their choices in beauty. But it is beautiful. But there are others on the Hill who really do have beauty, and as it is true, they are dumb in many
Twins always are intriguing—usually from birth they wear the same kind of clothes and are taught the same habits. Twins become collective like an army. When they grow up, however, their individual manners make themselves felt. The Kappa twins present an interesting resource to detect their collective traits.
The Memorial Union fountain, which should be the tops in student hangouts, fails because it looks sick. When one person enters through it, he should hurry through with it to make room for the next customer. A student ballettat, to become popular, must dress appropriately and be courteous to the persons who enter can be viewed and discussed by those already seated.
Perhaps there is a strain of P. T. Barmann blood running in the veins of the Pihi sisterhood. Anyway their crest dominates the scene at last night's Pan-Hell and as a result caused something of a resentful fever among the rival orchestra. "Just couldn't find" the chapter display at the time that the decorating was being done. But, mysteriously enough, the mischievous life did turn up at the last minute, and the girls went over and hung it themselves in the most conspicuous spot in the bedroom. It beats anything they produce in his most fertile moments.
A couple of the boys got fat around the mouth relative to their comparative sports ability in one of the unorganized houses at the foot of the Hill. The result is a two-man grudge track meet in the stadium next Sunday, Flockly Kelly and Glen Cresson will be the competing gladiators, settling the question contest over the 2014 Cameron, Jackson Dean, Lewis Garglione, Dick Hahn and Dick Heckendorf will be the judges. Oh, yes, the Snoop will hold the stalks.
ORATORICAL CONTEST DATE IS ADVANCED TO APRIL
The contest will be held in Fraser Hall and first and second prizes of $15 and $10 will be offered. This will be the fifth annual contest.
Because of the Women's Glee Club trip, the date of the freshman-Sophomore oratorical contest has been changed from April 7 to April 16. Several of the contestants are members of the Glee Club.
Winners of the Junior-Senior contest were Martin Maloney, c'uncl, and William Zupanec, e38.

W. S.G.A. Event Successfully Promote Financial and Dutch Dating Projects
According to sponsors, the WGS.A. carnival proved to be a great success, both in the way of "dutch dating", and that of finance, the total proceeds of which have not yet been ascertained. Men who chose to remain chivalrous soon were put into their places, and they were humiliated by being humiliated by the booth tenders when they were compelled to pay for their own chances.
A silver serving platter was awarded to Wakim Hall by the W.S.G.A. for a sculpture of the horse, were: Rosemary Ketcham, head of the department of design; Maude Ellsworth, instructor of design; Beulah Baskin, professor of psychology; and Bethe Tohn.

There he beams, and then the land's foremost criminal, who later is the cause of Brierly's four-year prison term.

One of the two wards which were fitted up in the basement to accommodate the large increase in number of patients, was empathetic and friendly. The ward were being moved to the second and third floors as soon as beds were available there.

Gift of Solon Summerfield
Gift of Solon Summerfield
The Summerfield schoolships, established at the University of Kansas in 1929, were made possible by the gift of a fund for the purpose by Solon E Summerfield, a member of the class of 1890. They are administered by a community faculty and the Endowment Association. The ultimate purpose is to render a real and enduring service to humanity.
Allotments made from the fund are expected to cover only absolutely necessary expenses incident to the pursuit of their studies by the scholars. Those who have no personal or family income will be allowed the maximum allotment. Others will be allowed fractional amounts as appear just in each case.
A Summerfield scholarship is held throughout the four years of the undergraduation. This scholarship must maintain the high standing for which it has been granted to him. Unquestionable character and mental power are absolutely essential qualities.

*new plan, would blow at 7:30,
7:50, 12:50, and at the close of
each class period.
Smith Cites Advantages
The change now proposed was announced some time ago and stirred up considerable comment among the students, faculty, and business men. The Men's Student Council opposed the change while the Women's Self-Governing Association favored it. The businessmen have favored the change, while faculty members differ in opinion.
Professor Smith, chairman of the calendar committee, cited several advantages to be gained under the new schedule. It provides an increase of one-eighth in the total class capacity of the university buildings by creating more classrooms and providing the present seven hour class plan. It would do away with the conflict of
First class period        8 to 8:50
Second class period       9 to 9:50
Third class period       10 to 10:50
Fourth class period      11 to 11:50
Noon hour                4:15
Sixth class period       4 to 1:50
Sixth class period       2 to 2:50
Seventh class period     3 to 3:50
Eighth class period     4 to 4:50
PROPOSED SCHEDULE
time schedules which are followed by the students and faculty and that followed by business men. It would provide more time for intramurals and team sports, it would provide two 2-hour laboratory periods in the afternoon and enough periods would be available to carry a full schedule of 15 hours without enrolling in an 8 o'clock class.
Class periods for practice teachers would not conflict with the class periods in city schools; boarding houses which serve both students and townpeople would not have to serve twice; commuters would not have to enroll in the early class and so would have a half-hour more time. Part of the hour basis which are now operating on the hour basis which conflicts with the class schedule.
The M.S.C. objected to the plan be-
believing it would be an added hardship
on the working students who already
are pressed for time. Other objections
included those of the W.S.G.A. which
feared that closing hours for women
would be set at 10 p.m, and that com-
panions were objected to them. Men
also objected on the grounds that it
would shorten their study periods by
half an hour.
May Table Bill
Several faculty members objected to the early class but the Calendar Committee believes that the faculty as a whole favor the change.
There is a possibility that the Senate will not vote on the proposed change at its meeting April 7. They may post-announcement and then table, ing, tabling the bill for the present.
The University Calendar Committee, which was assigned the job of studying law, recommended W. Smith, chairman; George O. Foster, registrar; Professor J. Burmilla; Julia Jencks, 'cunel, president of the W.S. Law School in Manfield, $6,$6, president of the M.S.C.
Prof. G. W. Smith, chairman of the committee, made a careful study of the history of the class schedules which have been in effect at the University since 1911. Reports of the Senate meetings from that year to the present show the changes which were made in the curriculum and interest highlights on the revisions.
In the reports of the senate meetings in 1911 is found a move to begin the debate on April 25, an interval. It is not known what schedule was followed before this. In the record of March, 1912, it was found that more votes were carried on (Continued on page 30).
