A GREAT GAME
Young men and women in Kansas City are finding that politics can be a great game with carefully planned moves, preliminary skirmishes and grand battles. The number of young people enrolled in the National Youth Movement in our neighbor city proves that this country is beginning to feel the force of the younger generation in politics, as have the countries in Europe for many years.
Kansas City offers a good battle ground for these young crusaders to test their ability. If they can succeed against the machine in that city, they will have gained a difficult victory where older heads have failed.
But whether the National Youth Movement becomes really a power in American politics depends not so much on this election as on the attitude the organization preserves after the election. American history reveals many examples of city people becoming sickened with their city government and indignantly cleaning house. But after their house-cleaning they have always settled back and taken things easy again so that it was only a short time before a new gang was in control of things.
If the National Youth Movement in Kansas City can win the coming election it will be doing much for good government. If it can then vigilantly preserve a guard over the government thus elected it will be performing a far greater service. The National Youth Movement appears to be on the right road, if it will only carry on to its real goal.
Wait until the seniors get the statement for their dues. They may wish that they had attended the meeting.
STUDENT EVALUATION
Quizzes are necessary for evaluating students in any course presented. This form of measurement is generally accepted.
But tests are a painful occurrence, and the fewer the quizzes the happier the student. And professors are apt to accede to the student's unspoken request; but in some cases they may go farther and offer only two or three examinations in the whole term. The majority of the time may be spent in lecturing to the class, and expecting the class to take large quantities of notes, hoping that by this method a complete comprehension of the course may be reached.
The quizzes, because of their scarcity, must necessarily cover a large territory. 'This type of test is difficult for the student as it is hard to retain a complete conception of everything that has been presented to him. In addition to this he works under a strain, realizing that a large part of his grade depends on this quiz.
Grades figured from the results of too few quizzes can not be a very accurate representation of the work done. The student, who may just have happened to have
studied the particular points covered by the quiz, may not have as thorough a knowledge of the course as one who knows more of the theory but didn't happen to remember the right answers to a few questions. Better evaluation could be achieved if the quizzes were given more frequently, and consequently covered work which would be fresher in the student's mind.
Frequency can be overdone, but a quiz given every three or four weeks would offer the professor a better idea of the student's progress in the course, and a better opportunity of proper evaluation at the end of the term, than examinations given only at long intervals.
BRIGHT COLORED PAPERS
With the first appearance of ing up of the walks and grass handbills on the campus, came the usual cluttering up of the walks and grass.
One student who was carrying the bills about yesterday used the old method of scattering them. He handed out one to each one who passed his way, but when the students did not come along as rapidly as he wished, he threw the papers in bunches to the winds.
If he had even hoped that students would be interested enough to pick them up and read them, he might have placed them in a convenient pile, weighted down, and in a conspicuous place. But whether students would have gone to this trouble or not, at least the campus would not have looked like the morning after carnival night.
HOLD YOUR CLASS
Every student is familiar with the professor who drones his lecture in a monotone on some technical subject, which in its technicality should be presented in a live vigorous voice to gain prominence in the mind of the student who is very likely mentally woolgathering. The student does not look forward to these classes, primarily because the subject is not presented as interestingly as it could be.
Dramatic art teaches us that to hold the attention of an audience the voice must have many ranges. An actor repeating, say four hundred lines, would not hold the attention of his audience if he repeated all lines in the same tone of voice, and in a parallel respect the professor does not hold the attention of his classes when he speaks in a flat voice.
A method of maintaining the class attention may be invented by the professor, and should offer a genuine challenge to his ingeniousness and his knowledge of college students. A professor should not consider teaching as merely pouring into the ears of students a routine lecture, but consider it more as something that will make the students as interested in the subject as the teacher is himself.
COOK COUNTY THWARTED AGAIN?
Some of the most outstanding legal cases in Chicago may be involved, including the one pending in the Insull case. The decision of the court against Ernest J. Stevens, hotel and insurance executive, and many other cases now appear to be in a precarious position.
The validity of the Cook county crime war convictions suffered a severe blow in the decision handed down last Saturday by the supreme court of Illinois.
The supreme court of Illinois must realize what the decision will cost the state in money, and that it will undo all the good that has been done by Chicago's recent war on crime.

Our Contemporaries
The finish of the story is a little absurd, when the kind hearted old judge herically puts love above justice, and Mace
A NEW NOTE IS STRUCK Oklahoma Daily
--goes scot-free in spite of all the laws he has violated.
Many things have been said against college students of a derogatory nature, but no doubt the most surprising of them all was the criticism of Federal Commissiones of Education Zook at the meeting on National Student federation in Washington.
Sidney and March share honors in this entertaining comedy romance. The story as well as the acting is quite appealing. March, as Mace Townsley, knows women to too well ever to let them get ahead of him until the good dame Sidney, as Lillie Taylor, comes along. She uses some unique methods to get her man, from ripping the buttons off his vest and tearing his collar to throwing a pitcher of water in his face.
"My complaint about college students," he said, "is that they are too darned docile. They are too easily bossed. They don't create enough problems for the college and university administration."
Oklahoma Daily.
Such a statement must appear as heresy to most college administrators who are constantly in fear that students in their schools will do something to draw the criticism of the people and the press and who probably spend sleepless hours over the public attention that anties of their charges have attracted.
Sylvia Sidney fans will be highly pleased with her latest picture, GOOD DAME, because it gives the pretty little screen star numerous opportunities to show admirers her charming smile. Freddie March, in the lead opposite Miss Sidney, will continue to attract the ladies, this time as the wiggy with a 'coitty-oil' street dialect. Good Dame is the current attraction at the Varsity theater.
Current Screen
Commissioner Zook's statement has stamped him as one of the best allies that American college students have.
--goes scot-free in spite of all the laws he has violated.
If sugar plum romance is what you want, this is the place to get it; where personality and love again triumph over honest worth.
If you go to *Stage Mother* at the Patee prepared for the worst you'll come away with a feeling that is was not so bad after all. In other words, its proper place is with the average run of pictures.
Ted Healy, as master of ceremonies in a stage show, starts things off with his usual clowning, but after his exit there is somewhat of a letdown. A sudden transition from the comic to the tragic puts the spectator into a gruerulous mood for the remainder of the film. The wife in an acrobatic team does not go on because she is expectant. Her child comes out "slips" from the trapez and is killed. The baby turns out to be a girl, and the mother, obsessed with the desire of making a star star out of her daughter, supervises her every move.
The girl, Shirley Lorraine (pretty name, don't you think?), is a success, but only at the price of romance and her respect for her mother. Alice Brady does a good job as the "hunting battle-axe" of a mother, and Maurine O'Sullivan is convincing as the innocent daughter.
The chief trouble with the show is that unnecessary scenes make it too long. Not all of those shots are required to bring the story to the same climax. It is like a boy who starts to a school 10 minutes' walk distant, but he requires an hour because of dwaling along the way.
Panama Professor to Visit Here
Mrs. Angelica Patterson, professor of home economics in the National Institute of Panama, will arrive tomorrow afternoon to visit her son, Carlos Patterson, graduate of Balba High School in the Republic of Panama, who is enrolled in the University as a freshman. Mrs. Patterson was formerly chancellor of the Professional School of Panama. She will remain several days.
