Goodness Gracious Joan, Don't You Know Your Bible . . . The Sayings of Rabbi Woods . . Beware the Sour Owl . . . Hell Week Hash
"Tis well said about the young collegiate that they know not their Bible—in fact they don't seem to know one when they see it. Lady Joan must have expected it to be printed in unbridled editions or something. Prof. Crafton, a member of the Society, knew, told all members of his class to look for something in the thirteenth chapter of Rub. Away they went to look in their Bibles (or rather, ones they could borrow from here and there). Joan looked in her own small edition and was amazed to find only the four original chapters of the book of Ruth. Thereupon, she read the first volume for larger volume because "hers had only four chapters in it."
Says Rabbi Rex Woods: "It's fun to be fooled, but it's more fun to know"—what?
Miss Riht Hooover has started a women's ping pong tournament, some of the games for which will be played in the main lounge in the Union building. Bill Cochrane reports that reserved seats are now on sale in his office, a free pair of binoculars is furnished with every ticket sold, come early and avoid the rush, and are shorts the correct thing in ping pong wear?
Note: "Industry is on the up trend," says Rabbi Kissel. "Alarm clock manufacturers are doing a rousing business." Sugar is甜 and you smell Rexy.
The weather of Springiness is getting to us all as is evidenced by the following drammer. A student was drowning blissfully in his chair while the prof. held forth at great length upon the thiss' and thats' of this gla and thata. Suddenly the prof, papped a question at the heavyshader thinker and then asked, "Who said the prot." "Well, where did you start missing out, and we'll start again from there."
The hospital will be able to look forward to an increase in colds now that the fraternities have initiated a few new programs, and we are around the campus with their coats open.
Of course we know that we flatter ourselves to think that this poor column is read with everyone's breakfast before they even start trudging to class, but we'll have to take a chance on that. We wish to warm the student body that this morning's chysters by thrown up by their chysters who will try to beat everybody out of 15 good coppers and give them a Sour Owl in return. The rag is full of mastly dirty cracks about everybody and should not certainly not be purchased, much less read. Editor Blowers and management Jack and the Pea Stalk Miller worked exactly two weeks before they both been drinking root beer when they did it—so what can you expect? Buy it if you must, but remember that we warned you!
Hell Week Hash! The Chi Omega's had a little serenade yesterday morning for the Delts. The ladies parked under the lad's windows, and upon hearing that the boys would like to hear a Beta song, they gave it to them. The boys say they've heard worse singing, but just can't remember where . . . , and even if it had been good, who could enjoy it at 'o clock in the morning? "Twas with much interest that we perceived an Alpha Chip ledger perched on the porch yesterday hanging on a pan and shouting to the world that it was five minutes after she had been expected. I wonder if she said she was doing as well as could be expected? Have to check up on that . . . The Chi Omega's also entertained the Sig Alph's at lunch yesterday. . Back to the Alpha Chi's, our advice to the fellows is to ask the little girl for her own pen when she asks you to sign her paddle. . . that wood is hard as hell on pen points.

Japanese Stencils on Exhibit
Spooner-Thayer museum is exhibiting 12 examples from a collection of 200 Japanese stenkins. These stenkins, which were cut by famous Japanese designers about 1783 to 1830, are for the purpose of transferring designs to textile fabrics, usually silk. They are very easy to work on, and the design it offers by a web of threads has which been pasted between two layers of the paper, making the design.
Students Improve Scholastic Rating For First Semester
Faculty Votes to Recom mend Fall Semester Seniors for A.B.
Degrees
Improvement in student scholarship was disclosed in the report of the reinstatement committee, submitted to the College faculty at its meeting yesterday afternoon. Fewer students than usual were found failing in their work, and a better proportion of those on probation were being reinstated.
The faculty also voted to recommend for the A.B. degree 33 students who completed their work in the fall semester and authorized a course in economic zoology to be given in the coming summer session.
The report of the reinstatement committee showed that in the fall semester only 121 students failed in more than 40 per cent of their work. Of these, 75 petitioned for reinstatement, and 87 were permitted to continue, on probation.
May Study "D-Graders"
Of the 109 students on probation last semester, only 47 failed to meet probation requirements. Of the 47, 23 were re-instated, 5 chances, and 17 were not re-instated.
In this connection, Prof. J. H. Nelson, of the committee, said that being on probation served as a spur to some students and suggested that some plan might be well devised to improve the scholarship of the persistent D-grade student, thus creating "funk out," yet making little or no progress toward a degree.
Prof. W, R. Smith reported improvement in enrollment procedure under the new rules, and said further improvements will be suggested.
Referred To Committee
The matter of eligibility of students on probation to participate in extra-curricular activities was referred to the administrative committee for study and review.
The following were recommended for the A.B. degree:

Kayhawk Club Change Meets With Approva
Dean J. H. Wigmore, Addresses Law students and others, Fraser theater, 11:30 a.m.
Werner Favors Action on Political Policy by Barb Group
The announcement that the Kayhawk Club, an organization for non-fraternity men, would devote its energies in the future to the promotion of social and intramural activities and drop its political affiliations met with Dan Warren. The following statement was made by the dean yesterday:
"I think the need of such a club, divorced from political activity, has been a long-felt want on the campus. The intrusion of politics has restricted its universal appeal. I believe that the ex-communist group will allow for wider faculty cooperation."
Ed. Elfeb, director of intramurals says: "I'm pleased to note that the Kayhawk Club is centerring its attention on intramural activity rather than politics. I feel that there are a great number of unaffiliated men who should be participating in intramurals, but are not, because of the lack of leadership which such an organization as the Kayhawk Club could furnish."
Concerning the proposed social activity of the club, Paul Wilbert, social chairman, stated, "In order to further the feeling of comradeship and friendliness among the non-frametrien men in the University; we hope to sponsor a fund-raising event a quiet or two that will have both a social and educational purpose."
Several members of the University Peace Action Committee are making plans to attend a district peace conference at Ottawa University next Saturday. Representatives from Ottawa, Baker, and Kansas universities and possibly Washburn and Manhattan will participate in the meetings designed to inaugurate the machinery and publicity for better international understanding.
Bob Braden, intramural manager of the club, commented on the change in policy by saying, "I can see the possibility that more men will take part in the Kayhawk intramural program of the future."
The University Peace Action Committee is composed of 17 members with Alfred C. Armes, c36, and Elizabeth Caswell, gr., as executive secretaries.

He praised especially the water colors of the exhibit and said that American painters have come to realize that a good water color can be as good as a painting in oil.

Tau Beta Pi's Hear Clark
Professor of Sociology Believes Highe Income Tax a Solution
"Even in pre-depression times, between 69 and 70 per cent of our population could not save enough out of their incomes to insure old security," said Carroll D. Clark, professor of sociology in speaking to Tau Beta Pi honorary degree recipient William J. Gleason in the men's lounge in Memorial Union building last night.
In 1929, 6,000,000 out of the total of 27,500,000 families in the United States had an annual income of less than $1,000. At the present time the number of families earning less than $1,000 has been greatly enlarged," said Professor Clark. "Under our prescriptio the Clark under our prescriptio the Clark does not earn enough to save for old age or even to furnish themselves with proper medical and dental care.
"In view of present surveys, it would seem that a good solution of our economic problem would be a distribution of wealth in such a way that the income of families earning between $800 and $1500 would be raised $1,900. This could be accomplished by exerting a higher income tax and the stabilization of employment by public works projects," Professor Clark concluded.
Board Rejects Panel
At a meeting of the Kansam Board held Monday to select a publisher for the Kansan from a list of five names previously submitted by the faculty, the panel of nominees was rejected by the board and was sent back to the faculty for the addition of three additional names.
