BYGONE DAYS
It wasn't so long ago that the first of May had a different meaning for many of us from just a few more bills in the morning's mail. Those were the good old days when May day eve meant door bells rung slyly and little baskets of flowers on the doorstep—with sometimes a piece of candy tucked in for good measure.
Maybe the baskets were a bit messy, and it has been intimated that the flowers were often borrowed from the neighbors' garden without their permission or knowledge, but still there was a spirit of friendship and fellowship in the good old custom that is unrivalled by our more sophisticated college ways.
IT'S A BIT TIRESOME
The current issue of The American Spectator tells us volumes about the condition of the American screen in a group of nine pictures which is labeled, "The Art of Will H. Hays."
The pictures show Joan Crawford in "Rain," the story of a scarlet sister who sank to the depths of shame, "Goona Goona," the love drug that awakens jungle passion, Lee Tracy, who did his best work after dark, and others of the same type that nightly draw America to the cinemas.
The producers of these films will defend themselves by saying that the American public demands this sort of picture. But we believe that the American public has come to believe that it craves this panorama of sex because it is about the only dish that is offered on the picture menu.
To many of us, however, to quote Guy Kibbee, a leg is getting to be something on which to stand, and we no longer get a thrill over "an honorless beauty fighting the law and lawless in a land of forgotten men." We feel that we know all about the girl whose "life was no bed of roses" and who was "too honorless to be loved."
Mickey Mouse and his sweetheart, Minnie, give us more enjoyment than all the bare legs in "42nd Street" ever will. We are not pretending to be blase or superior, but we should like to see a little change in our picture diet.
If only these signs now decorating the campus which read "Holiday, May 1 and 2," could be taken literally?
THE INSTRUCTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY
A New York psychiatrist has condemned examinations in Universities in no uncertain terms. "They are a pure lottery," he said. "I am convinced that they were conceived in the first place by the teacher in order that he might shirk his downright responsibility of studying and diagnosing the student's mind."
It is entirely conceivable that examinations might have had their origin in just such a manner as the New York doctor suggests. In spite of continued protests from students, however, they continue to be a very essential part of a University education, and in
all probability will remain so for a good many years.
But regardless of how important they may be, examinations can never fully relieve the instructor from his responsibility in analyzing a student's mind in an attempt to offer constructive advice and criticism. This responsibility is definitely a part of education, and no artificial device can hope to replace the benefits that come from it.
We like the fine spirit of discrimination shown in the synopsis of a German movie which says "Ulrich is both husband and manager of Tilla." The words aren't synonymous, by any means!
ONLY ONE THING LACKING Springtime is K U I Time
The campus is making even more to-do over the approach of spring than usual this year. Perhaps it's because of the Relays this weekend, or maybe it's just because. Whatever the reason, the lake is rippling a little more today, the grass is a little greener and the tulip beds are a little brighter. Even the winds that have blown people so rudely the past few weeks have turned into breezes.
The old iliac hedge, which refused to bloom last spring, has graciously surrendered, and now this lovely old hedge is adding its fragrant lavender blossoms to the charm of the landscape.
The University gardeners have given Mother Nature a helping hand by laying sod in back of the Union building and in front of Snow Hall. Fraternity and sorority freshmen are doing their somewhat unwilling share by digging dandelions in front of their chapter houses. All that remains to complete the picture is for the usual crop of spring love affairs to get under way.
ON RUNNERS
Somewhere there may be a woman in this world to whom a runner in the stocking would mean nothing—there may be. But to the vast majority of women, the discovery of a runner is regarded as a major catastrophe.
It is a funny thing that when the offending streak is unbeknown, the young lady proceeds on her placid way, at peace with the world. Then, just let her set eyes on the defect, or still worse, have someone tell her gellify of it, and she becomes at once agitated, embarrassed, ashamed, and angry.
A hundred things to do present themselves and all are rejected on the ground that she has a runner. Perverse annoyers that they are—they always happen at the busiest times and in the best pair of hose. But just to equal up the burden and make it a little more bearable, they happen to us all, and frequently.
A CHANCE TO GRIPE
Students at the University of Florida are given an opportunity to get their pet grips and grievance off their chests in an annual "Gripes and Grievances" edition of the school paper. No personal attacks or unfair criticisms are allowed to appear, neither are personal grudges permitted to find an outlet in the issue. Contributions which appear are passed upon by an impartial board. Similar issues in the past have resulted in constructive good and improvements often have been made as a result of some suggestion.
Some such plan might well have a place at this University. Students often have plans, suggestions, and ideas which might be of benefit to the school if they were given publicity. The value of getting the student viewpoint in itself would make the effort worthwhile. Then too, there is distinct advantage in furnishing a safety valve for student wrath. Often the University man or woman gets "all het up" about something which might amount to something, but more often does not. If this student has no outlet for his "gripe," he is apt to attach too great importance to it, and the result often is not good.
There will be a special meeting of the Cosmopolitan club today at 1325 West Campus road. Initiation of new members and the nomination of officers for next year will be held.

"Hustle with the light now. Let's see what we can see!"
Owen said. With a fierce he saw John disappear. With a shrill yelp he leaped to a maple, danced along a hemklipped, skimped over a trio of small birches. Close together the lags lay in between the birches, skipped between them anywhere there.
He gauged the distance. He swung his pike-pole. He brought his weight to bear on a high-riding log, and showed it with all his strength, crowding it away with the pole, showing the opposite direction with his feet.
Above him a bright electric light glowed from its pole. The opening water was sable velvet, stippled with edibles
"Hi!" he yelled. "Hi, John!"
What happened? Anybody hurt?
Who was it? ! . . . Chattering then,
as John, still panning, shaking with
cold, dragged himself out.
"All right! Let me breathe!" he gasped, and Ole stood up as others came running.
A bulging, a swirling, . . . An arm shot through; a face showed, and John Belkman, grasping a log, was choking and gagging for breath!
The excited Swede tried to drag him out.
"All right!" he gasped, and then, to Ole. "Much obliged." Seemed to swim . . . an hour looking for . . . a hole!
"I yogh, Yohn, you come by a fire now!" said Ole Nas, water streaming from his woven clothing. John made his way to shore across the legs.
As he trotted around the pond, under the slide and made for the car from which four thousand feet of logs had rumbled down to menace him, Ole put down his pike-pole and followed.
"He came in from yonder," John said, pointing to lumber piles. "He there, there, there, that truck's situated him down by where his weight rocked up on the halls of his feet. . . . Came over here and afterward out that way. See where can't?"
He was shivering, but he shook his head.
under they bump low over the tractor. Ole struck a fresh match. "New rubber band." That star brand in the heel? Old ones wouldn't leave a clean mark like that: looks like the work of a die, .die., Heavy, .big man." Quickly he spanned the footprints with his fingers, noting the dimensions of the footprints. "Longer. See how far he stepped when he lit out for cover?" Tall as I am, Ole."
"Not now, Ole. Not yet! Got something to do, first."
"fearful, Ole!" the boy captioned, teeth chattering "Don't step in here."
As the Swede rounded the half-emptied cir he saw John squatted low to the snow.
"Kumpin' Jesus!" breathed his companion.
Elding alone so that his feet would not obliterate any of the traces there in the newly fallen snow, the other leaves them from the pocket and lighted one.
"Who, John? O! did ask, puzzled,
"Whoever tripped the stakes to let
the lead down on me!" John laughed
that he had done it, but they just
lift them, do, did you. Oh? "
"Who, Yohn?" Ole nsked, puzzled.
The Swope was speechesleep until John, staring off into the shadows of the number yard, involuntarily moaned with the cold.
"Iy gosh, Yonny, you come by a
ire now quick!"
The Excited Swede Tried to Drag Him Out
he went then, standing before open fire-box in the boiler room, undressing there, staring at the roaring, orange mass of blazing wood which drove the cold from his body and set his garmets steaming. The fighting light in his eyes was something to behold, and as he later changed from his half-dried clothing in his room, rubbing his hands with a piece of metal, the last of the chill, his movements were quick and sharp, possessing a distinctly vindictive quality.
He did not eat. He went, instead, from store to store where footwear was sold in Kampftest. In the third and last place where he might find a ciew the propetor advised one to bet his life he had rubbbers.
"New stock. Just opened 'em this week. Our best buy for the money. Few found."
weaa," he said. "They're the best buy for the money I've found and—" John did not listen as the man ex-tolled the virtues of his warres. He held a rubber in his hand, gasing at him with the word "little." The constellation of little stars about it, at the heavy, creep sole like the surface of a spring mushroom.
"Well, not many. Only two pairs,
yet. You ask the boys, though. They'll
tell you they fit fine around the foot b
Try one on and—"
"Sold many?"
The merchant scratched his head and told him the names of his purchasers. The last man mentioned was Suspicion that had been in John's mind.
"Not now. Who bought?"
