Outlines New System at Colloquium of Summerfield Scholars
Denton Criticizes Grades
Outlining the weaknesses of the present educational system, Harold Denton c'33, spoke at the Summerfield Scholar colloquium last Friday night. Denton, former president of the Men's Student Council, presented the last of series of papers read before the society at a meeting held at Wiedemann's tea room.
during conventionalities, which stifle the initiative of students, and the grading system, which over-emphasizes the importance of high marks, were listed by Denton in his criticism of the modern educational system. Denton explained what he called an ideal system in which there would be no grading.
"However, an intermediate step would be necessary before such a drastic move could be made," said Denton "The plan proposed by the Council would inaugure a system of satisfactory, unsatisfactory and honor marks to take the place of the present grading method."

CADETS FORSAKE GOOSE STEP FOR RHUMBA AT R.O.T.C. BALL
By Robert Smith, c34
Forgetting such terms as "squads right" "Attenushan" and the regularity of the hut-two-three-four, the R.O.T.C. members and officers swung into a bennie nonie nonie and a hotoer rhythm last night to try their ball. The band made no difference to the dancers, for as they would, they could not force themselves to fore-sake Henry Halstead and his melodies.
The Memorial tion took on a new aspect with the decorations of flags, red, yellow, blue, and white banners, crepe paper, divers hued balloons, and baskets of flowers. Evening dresses and uniforms added to the formality of the affair, and contributed their share o color.

"Well, these graduating journalists will have one square meal to remember, if they never get another," someone aptly remarked at the annual Kauai Board banquet in the Memoria Union last Friday night.
10m Collins, Sunday editor of the Kansas City Journal-Post, appeared as the main attraction of the evening. Mr. Collins presented a 40-minute talk on "Luck." The fact that the speaker held the elocution was crucial to how they slowly dissolved in the excessive heat, was no small tribute to Mr. Collins' ability.
Given in honor of the seniors on the Kansan Board, the guests included Daily Kansan stuff members, journalism department professors and their wives, former students, journalism majors, anyone who had 58ents to buy a ticket.
Other more or less journalistic disccourses offered by local talent were: "Advice to the Lovelorn," Martha Lawrence, c;33; "Type Lice I Have Met", James R. Patterson, c;34; "Rhythm in the news," Maurice Rice, c;34; "Sob
Several visiting graduates now employed in the newspaper field briefly sketched a picture of life out in the great unknown. Fred Ellsworth, Alumni secretary, contributed a short talk.
Not only were the faculty members omitted from the list of speakers, but they also were on the receiving end of several barbed missiles. But it was all in good fun—and after all grades are still to be given out.

Rewrite," Paul V. M., c'33. Tra McCarty, c'33, did the Miner as toast-
master.
Followers of the Walter Winchell school of newspaper writing edited a satirical sheet elegantly titled, "The Banquet Blow." The anonymous editors further lumped faculty members further lampooned university students with cartoons and prose.
By 8:45 a group of tired but happy boys and girls trooped out of the Memorial Union basement, well pleased with the dandy time they all had enjoyed.
Shortly after intermission, Rowena Longshore marched between an isle of couples, accompanied by cadet officers to be dubbed honorary colonel. After she had passed beneath an archway of raised swords, and received the red and blue cap from the guard of the position, Mai-Koen bestowed her colonel upon her.
Following this a group of cadets were congratulated by Major Koenig and D. C. Jackson, jr., because of their selection by the military fraternities of Mortar and Ball, Scabbard and Blade, and Tau Nu Tau.
Many of the dancers expressed surprise that the military management could keep the army of stags from occupying all the dancing space in the center of the floor, a feat which no other organization has ever been able to accomplish. A tale was reported yesterday of a co-eed who spent the evening jealously guarding a yellow balloon which matched the angelwing ruffles of her formal, only to have it go "pop" during the last dance.
Cadet officers from Kansas City, Topeka, Manhattan, Ft. Riley and Ft Leavenworth and local reserve officers were present at the ball.
During the entire evening the northeast room adjoining the ballroom floor where punch was served was one of the most popular places for couples.
Only one complaint was made of the evening's entertainment, that being the dance closed at 12 o'clock.

He scored 6-6. Only the best two out of three games were played in the doubles finals.
All matches except the finals in both singles and doubles competition were played Friday afternoon and yesterday morning; the finals were held yesteryear.
The final match between Coen and Davis in the singles was a long drawn-out affair with both players suffering from the heat. Several short intermissions were given to allow them to recover. In the middle of the third set Davis suffered a cramp in his leg, but Davis won by 6-2. By winning the match Coen annexed the Big Six singles championship for the third successive time.
The doubles final was a short match with brilliant playing on both sides, but the score going all in favor of the Jay-hawker stars. Kansas had a comparatively easy time in winning 6-2, 6-0 in a two out of three set match.
One of the most interesting matches of the meet was the semi-final match between Sterling Culip, Kansas, and Davis of Oklahoma. Davis finally nosed out a victory by a score of 7-5, 11-9. Davis was seeded No. 2 in the conference and ultimately the ranking player with Thomson of Iowa State No. 4. Thomson was eliminated in the semi-finals of the singles competition by Coen, 6-1, 6-1.
Had the Sooners won the doubles final they would have tied for the championship with Kansas. Before the match Kansas led 5 points to 4 which made it possible for the Sooners to tie by winning the match. One point for each match won was the basis for computing the team scores.

Roslyn, N. Y., May 20—(UP)—Joseph V. Harriman, indicated banker, stabbed himself soon after he was found by police today at the Old Orchard Inn, toslyn, where he had gone to end its life.
Harriman's wound was deep, but it was believed not to be lethal. The 68-year old banker, facing trial Monday accused of misappropriating funds of the bank for which he worked, was taken to Nassau County Hospital at Minola, where a staff of surgeons went to work at once.

After a preliminary examination at the hospital, officials said they believed Harriman would be able to leave the hospital soon.
Twenty-four hours after he disappeared from a nursing home in Manhattan, Harriman was found on a taxicab driver's tip at the Old Orchard Inn in the millionaire retreat which he had built and near which his son was buried.

margiss Athletes Are Unable to Obtain Enough Minor Positions for Victory
Lincoln, Neb.

Ancient Sioux Indian Tribal Ceremonies Will Feature Sachem Initiation Tonight
Tribal ceremonies of the Sioux Indians dating hundreds of years before the arrival of the white man will be the main feature of the Sachem initiation this evening at 6 o'clock when that tribes take in seven new members.
According to the chronicles handed down from generation to generation of this Indian nation which governed territory bounded by the Mississippi river, the Canadian border, the Rockies, and the Rio Grande, when a young man had provoked an outbreak worthy of a specific ritual was performed.
Indian singers gathered and sang songs to the Gods of Nature and Man. The Chief Sachem would confront the crowd and recite the qualities of each buck as he was brought forward. If the oldsters deemed the young man adequately meriting the honor of leading the councils he held into the hall, he took the council. He was considered as being worthy of leading in the chase or in war.
The seven men who at present are unaware of their selection to the
Sachems, a senior men's honorary society, will be both non-plussed and probably slightly embarrassed by their sudden noticity when a hunky brave approaches them and appraises of them the U.S. Army. But at the council fire no one outside of the society knows the names of the chosen few.
The ritual, which is an authentic ceremony of the Sioux Indian nation peace pipe ceremonial, was planned many years ago by Professor E. Leroy Bentley to be used in partnerships with assistance of Ella Cara Deloitte, a member of the Sioux nation.
As the ceremony progresses, singers, who will be brought from the Haskell Institute, will supply tribal songs and chants for the entertainment of the audience and add color to the initiation. The initiation is open to the public as in the days of the old tribal ceremonies, created to an exhibition which is offered by Indian singers who are giving voice to songs that have been taught them since child-
