A MENACE TO SAFETY
The lad could have been seriously injured. He turned from a sidestreet, and just as he was trying to force his swiftly-moving bicycle upon that slab of asphalt that covers the old car lines on Tennessee and Eleventh streets, it slipped on the curb-like edge of the slab, letting him fall to the pavement—a jarring fall! The slip, in itself, could have been serious. But suppose a speeding car had been right behind the lad. With the slab as slick as it is, no car could possibly have stopped or turned aside. It could easily have meant a life.
And that isn't all. In wet weather, or icy, it is exceedingly perilous to drive a motor car down this treacherous slab. A single slip may mean sideswiping a parked car—or crashing headlong into a moving machine.
Then, to add to the peril of it all, Tennessee street has been made into a highway.
We need no slippery humps in the middle of our already dangerous enough streets. These thoroughfares should be filled up to a normal drain arc, or condemned and closed in the name of safety.
"BUDDY" AND GIRLS
When Charles "Buddy" Rogers recently gave out an interview to the Harvard Daily Crimson he neglected to mention that he was a former Jayhawker.
Probably this was a mere oversight by a young man kept busy by movie and orchestra engagements, and one who was asked to compare Boston girls with California girls, as if the sun-kissed maidens on the west coast were the last word in feminine beauty.
Rogers might have told the reporter something about the Kansas school girl, if he had not feared to excite the Harvard man's envy. Wheat is not the only product of which Kansas grows the best in the world.
LEARNING TO THINK
The fundamental attainment of an education must be the ability to think. In his college course a student works on several dozen different courses of highly specialized nature, the successful completion of which is dependent upon his acquiring—for the time being—a fund of technical knowledge, and upon his ability to apply it to a variety of definite and original situations. This latter part is especially important.
Enlightened employers have found in the past generation that college graduates make far better employees than those who have no formal education. This is not altogether a result of the colleg-
Much of the specialized and technical knowledge acquired in college escapes a person's mind within a very short time, but his ability to think things out for himself, to apply what he does know, or what he can find out, in solving new problems remains one of his powers for life, not diminishing, but rather increasing with his maturity of judgment.
ian's having acquired any definite knowledge that will be useful to him in discharging his duties, but rather because he has learned to reason things out for himself, to cope with situations of any type that may arise, to apply what he knows or what he is able to find out, and logically to attain a conclusion, not through emotion, but through the processes of reason.
--at an early age. Strange and uninterested advisers sign their cards authorizing 15 hours of credit work in subjects which are too hard for beginners. The teachers try to assign work that will take two hours of study each week for every credit hour. If the doomed nephyte is a bright and capable individual he can prepare his week's lesson in these subjects, and teach it for the work, and headaches he manages to get by until the end of a semester. And then it happens.

And then it happens.
The apple blossom scene with which All of Me begins will doublestring found memories to the minds of many students. Not only that, but the whole plot holds special interest for students because it concerns itself principally with a young college instructor and a fair member of his engineering class. All of Me is the present attraction at the Varsity.
This picture is a psychological study, but don't let that scare you away. It is so produced that one can enjoy it with confidence. Do they do these people act as they do?"
Fredric March and Miriam Hopkins play the part of the love-sick couple. But their affection for each other apparently is not the ruling passion of their lives. Both are extremely head-strong and this traitAltm ruins their little romance. Only through the heart-stirring example of another couple's romance are these two stubborn people taught what real life is. George Raft plays the part of a small-time law-breaker in love with a rather decent girl, Helen Mack. It is the true devotion of this pair which brings the more sophisticated couple together at the end.
One of the pleasant surprises of the picture is that George Raft has a part which does not require him to be loud-mouthed and domineering.
Fugitive Lovers, which ends today at the Patee, is a better picture than the title would lead one to think. In spots the acting is disappointingly stiff and erratic, as, for instance, when the chorus girls take up a collection to send one of their number to Hollywood. But the scenes concentrated on only two or three characters show some fine work by the minims.
An attractive show girl (Madge Evans) is the unwilling victim of a gangster's (Nat Pendleton) attentions. To escape him she starts out for Hollywood by bus, but he follows her. Going through Eton, Pa, the bus becomes entangled in a prison break and one of the escaping convicts (Robert Montgomery) boards the vehicle through a fire. He and the show girl get friendly (as passengers on a bus will do) and the gangster-would-be-boy-friend becomes more and more riled. Finally the enamoured couple makes a get-away with a bus during a blizzard out in Colorado, but sacrifices its chances of a complete escape by stopping to rescue a number of school children trapped in their bus. (That incident has a familiar ring to it!)
Comedy relief is provided by Ted Healy and his three stooges.
Reams and reams of good copy paper have been wasted on literary discourses proclaiming the merits or demersits of final examinations. Professors have confessed that they are of little use, students have cried out the injustice of it all, but still we continue to lay our heads on the block and take the punishment. Not only are we forced to take them, but our student governing bodies must be given and better finals to be given by instructors who must keep in hand eagle-eye trained on the unsuspecting student to catch a little cheating.

For NEATNESS
Neatness in papers means better grades.
Boys who we have struggled hard for a whole term are forced to double and triple their efforts to pass tests that are purposefully made as hard as possible. A few freshmen have suffered illness, others have ruined their nervous systems, and still others have seriously contemplated suicide as a means to end
Your work is in order and its preparation easier.
Final exams that breed fear and discouragement, when only casually mentioned, scare the students into a killing and unhealthful state of mind.
We have all your school supplies but your texts.
Any practice, even though it be recommended by specialists in the fields of education, which will cause things of this kind should be abolished at once before our quota of gibbering idiots and nervous wrecks is increased beyond point. Society will have to pay heavily for the crime of the final exam.-F.B.
