TWO WAYS OF LOOKING AT IT
The appropriation bill rider designed to effect a twenty-five percent cut in matriculation and incidental fees next year is apparently well on its way to passage. At first glance it would appear that students who plan to attend the University next year have a cause for genuine rejoicing. To each one a resident of Kansas it means a saving of $15 in actual cash.
But before heartily approving the legislature's recognition of its economy pledge made last November, students should analyze the situation a little more carefully.
Adoption of this measure would mean that in addition to a flat cut of approximately one-fourth in its appropriation, the University will be faced with an added decrease of $50,000 in revenue from fees. With every cost already reduced to a minimum by the depression, it seems next to impossible that operating expenses can be pushed down any further without seriously cripping the work of the University.
If that should happen, the slight saving in fees would fall far short of recompensing the student for his loss in educational advantages. No, it is too soon to celebrate.
According to a recent announcement, the former governor of Virginia may be appointed to fill a senate vacancy. It will be refreshing to have a Byrd in the senate that isn't a bane duck.
IS IT FEASIBLE HERE?
Would students of the University be interested in classes in marital relations and home-making conducted by competent instructors? Would enough real benefit to the students acrue from such instruction to justify the setting up of such courses? If such a plan were started here, would the classes be attended by serious-minded students who would bring sober intelligence to bear on problems with which they soon will be intensely concerned? Or would the plan fail because it would not be taken seriously and would become a laughing stock?
University authorities and students should be thinking seriously of these questions, "Marriage courses" are coming to be the next step in modern education. Butler University at Indianapolis has begun such a course, and the plan is being watched by educators throughout the United States. So far as can be ascertained, the plan is working well. Students who are sitting in the classrooms are serious in their desire to learn. The trivialous-minded and thrill-seekers are warned away.
At the University of Michigan a series of eight weekly lectures on marital relations and home-making has been announced. The course is being designed especially for serious-minded students, either married or unmarried, who have an interest in the subjects to be studied. The lectures will take up the physiological and cultural aspects of marriage, home budgeting and financing, home decorating, child guidance, the social and civic
responsibilities of the married couple, and kindred topics.
Such courses are a move in the right direction. Students are exposed to instruction on everything else under the sun except the things with which they will be most vitally concerned during the greater part of their lives. Successful marriages are the result of study of the peculiar problems which must be met, and the best time for the future parents to obtain this knowledge is in college. There, most students are out of the adolescent unsettlement of their high school days, and are in an excellent formative period.
Sex instruction, marriage relations, home-making, and the thousand and one problems that make up the art of living in harmony with a mate have too long been a taboo subject in American universities. It is time educators stopped evading the issue. Intelligent, well-directed instruction concerning these things should do much to lower the divorce rate in America, now at an appalling figure, and will be of positive benefit in happy home-life of the future citizens of the United States.
MAYBE ALL IT LACKS IS ALLURE
Professor John Ise, in addressing an audience in Kansas City the other night, told listeners not to worry about the university student getting any radical ideas about the economic system. "They're too busy with dates and with the thought of dates to entertain any other ideas," so spake the learned professor with a keen insight into the ways and weaknesses of students.
We find in trying on the shoe
hat it doesn't fit any too smugly.
But then we are getting old and
he low of diminishing return has
at in. We don't get as much kick
of a date as we once did.
If it is true, however, that the student mind is being wedded to the idea of dates, dress, and more dates, then the old shoe which the professor has thrown is quite in keeping with the wedding spirit. A little too well-aimed perhaps, but still quite in keeping.
We might add that no one is in a better position to disrupt the blissful married state than the professor himself. Introduce in the proper environment and with the proper ailure the idea that study of certain subjects is of more pleasure than the company of a dumb date and lo—you have the eternal triangle!
After all, if the professor can't believe there is some hope, what can he believe?
IT GOES BEYOND
Periodic blasts at the college youth of America enliven the pages of the newspapers of the country. These criticisms are mainly excerpts from the remarks of persons whose position gives them some claim to be public figures. There is little doubt that a good deal of this criticism is justified. The intimation, however, usually is that this is the fault of the colleges. This is unjustifiable because in the majority of instances these self appointed critics fail to investigate the policies of education carried out in the institutions which prepare the recruits to swell the ranks of the college army, the secondary schools.
In ninety per cent of the high schools of the land the students in history and related courses are fed large doses of what is purely propaganda. No attempt is made to develop an intellectual spirit of research. Likewise is there no attempt made to criticize the existing order of things. Such a policy would be dangerous! The textbooks used are "safe"—in some cases they are required to pass the rigid censorship of a conservative school board. Every effort is made to see that the youth are not corrupt by "radical" material. The result of such policies is that generally intellectual stimulus is lacking, and the subject becomes merely a memory course of names and dates. The motivating influences behind the various movements are either hurriedly skimmed over or else left entirely untouched.

Under the plan of the school of geology, the Oklahoma professor will be paid his usual salary by the university, and the exchange professor will receive his regular salary from the institution with which he has affiliations. As the university has many professors in its field, they must in their fields, there should be a few practical difficulties in the way of obtaining ex-charge professorships.
ETA SIGMA PHI:
There will be a meeting of Eta Sigma Phi this evening at 8 o'clock in 210 Fraser. "The notices" is the subject of the evening.
Students would benefit by getting the material which, other professors have collected on a certain subject, but even more than this they would have the advantage of a foreign view-point.
The Inter-Racial Group of the Y.W.C.A. will meet at Henkey house at 7 o'clock this evening. DORICE SNYDER, DORIS ROLLINS, Chairmen.
A change of scene for the professors, with the opportunity of doing research in another university either in this country or abroad, would do much to increase intellectual curiosity. Their teaching returned no doubt to livelier.

The closed circle which keeps professors tied to a single regime year after year is being attacked by the school of geology, which is making arrangements for exchange professorships in research universities. This attempt not only commandeered but also simulation by other departments of the university.
After forming his ideas of education from this high school experience the student steps into the college classroom. Here if he is at all interested, so many new ideas and theories are opened up to him that he finds himself bewildered. And often the "opening up" process so startles the student used to staid, conservative "safe" instruction that his interest in the subject is deadened and the result is an intellectually inert student, one who accepts unquestionably the material handed out by the professor.

Our Contemporaries
There are many professors, outstanding in their respective fields, who have gotten in a rut through long years of teaching at district and district drab classrooms. As a consequence their lectures, many of which have seen years of service, are so cut and cleaned that they can paint for the professors to give them a pain for the students to hear them.
An item from Naples, Italy, states that two strong earth shocks were felt the neighborhood of Mt. Venusvulus Punta Cana, a volcanic blazing a point—Texas State Lass-02.

CHAPTER VI—Thayer, Finke tells him that he had been binging Vernon of large sums in card games. The coroner, apparently, has finally realized that the murders occurred with Hawkey to take charges of the murder both the murder and robbery. Tony Kane and James C. Hare are under arrest as Thayer murder
Warm brilliant sunshine hathed the courtyard when Tony Poyton and Larry Welch walked out on bond to temporary freedom. There was Ivy Welch, seeing a great old older than me, so I asked her how she recessively youthful withinal; and a score of Larry's undergraduate friends, young men and women who had come down to congratulate the young couple on their wedding, considered the end of their secarity.
CHAPTER HI—Hawkeye interrogates Wade after the day of the murder. Welch is vague in his words, but he knows that Thayer was alive when he left him. Thayer was killed when he tried to be leaping, unnecessarily endeavoring to be thrown, then them conviction being that Veronica became accustomed to incidents more dire than any other series of incidents merely to save her life.

His visit to Ivy and apparently draws from the memory the girl tells him about her mother's antisocial examination or witnessing his possession, but of course, we don't know where she was taken.
CHAPTER X—Hannay discovers that the man from Thayer study is missing from Thayer study. From Tony Peyton he learns she is Thayer's wife. Hannay not told the truth about Walsh has not told the truth about what the response that Thayer was to the response that Walsh was when she left him, and that Walsh did

He squeezed her hand. "Don't you worry, Kid. I didn't have anything to do with it."
Tony was with a group of her particular friends and Larry nodded toward her.
"Why don't you and she make up. Sis?"
"Because she started all this. If she hadn't butted on in Pat and me; if she didn't run to you; if she hadn't been such a food as to go to Pat's room at the fraternity house. . . Oh, I can't see you, Larry, that I can't help but Pat never would have been killed if Pat and smiled her own business?"
Irys's face grew stern. "I don't like her, Larry."
"Why?"
I sighed. "I goes I'm just a little bit shy." She nodded well, I can't help but can! "Then she reached out impressively and pressed his fingers. "Maybe I'll get
"I'm sorry you feel that way. Sis.
You know I'm crazy about her."
Several automobiles were waiting, and at the request of the president, Larry rode to the college with that person. He was in charge, caused the case gravely and told Larry a great many things about Max Veronich which he had not known. They themselves did not know many details, but the campus was overflowing.
"It doesn't seem possible that Max would do a thing like that."
"And It didn't seem possible that you or Miss Peyton would, either. We have been mighty worried."
"You've been darn white to me. I intend to resign—so the college won't suffer."
The two older men smiled.
"We're sorry for the scandal, of course, Larry. But we can't accept your resignation—for two reasons. One is that we believe you are in incont. The second is that it wouldn't be right to have you ever come to trump--if we had acknowledged our lack of confidence by permitting you to leave the faculty."
Later that day Larry and Tony met by Old Man and walked toward Pine
top . . . a knick which rose above the surrounding country and from which one could look down upon the villagers. She had her armkered to the spawning town of ManorHalf the student body saw them, the young men and woman made daily, but no one joined them. The students were more than a little embittered, and she knew that there was every belief in their innocence, every sympathy, every willingness to do whatever was necesary. It was a natural resiliency in intruding on their privacy. The tragedy had cast a sort of glamorous mantle about them.
They reached Pine top and stood regarding each other; the man tall and blind and very beshish looking despite the tiny lines of worry about his eyes; the girl vividly beautiful. Their joy was deep in the wine of freedom and of their joy at being with each other again. It was Tony who spoke.
"You know how I feel, Larry, about what you did."
Larry's cheeks blanched,
"How do you know?"
He frowned. "What did I do?" "Telling these detectives that I was alive when you left his room. Of course I knew he was now."
"I know now, Larry. That's all I wanted: To trick an admission from you. It was fine of you, dear. But we must go to Mr. Hanvey and tell him that Pat was already dead when you reached his room." "But I did say—"
Marlard jail; so gloriously a relief from the staring of four blank walls and a tiny square of turned window. They were very young and very much
"Oh, yes you did, Larry. Just a second ago. Now listen to me! I don't know what you think about him—but that terrific book that terrifies him. Harvey is one of my favorite books. I have ever met. He can tell when we're telling the truth, and he knows when we're lying. I told him the truth. You didn't have to tighten a moose around your neck. I was scared—and yet I wasn't scared. I everything I said seemed to increase in worry. Then he had gone to sleep. Then the next thing we knew were released on bond. Mr. Hanwee has a lot. And if he's going to help us, we must help him."
He nodded slowly, "I guess you're right." His face was very serious. "It's kind of tough on Max Vernon, isn't it?"
"I'm sorry for that boy. Terrible worry. And yet if killing is just justice, I have to warn Larry, to keep the truth from a man like him. Hanvey, who is struggling to
"We'll tell him."
They stood in silence for several minutes. Overhead a mocking bird trilled gaily; the pine trees swayed in the wind and bore from in from the countryside. The air was frightened with the fragrance of flowers and on Pine top there was no suggestion of anything but fireflies peaceful with the sun, from the solitary confinement at the

in love with each other, and Larry moved so close to her that their bodies touched.
"When all this is over, Tony, you will marry me?"
She looked straight into his eyes. "Yes, Larry."
"I'd like to put into words . . . to be able to tell you how much I love you. . ."
"You don't need to, I understand."
His arms closed around her and he held her tightly. She looked at her eyes. Then, subtly, he buried his face in her hair and so they stood still.
All that afternoon the campus hummed with crazy rumor and wild conjecture. It was one thing to read aloud to others, but quite another to come in contact with one. The students were impressed by their own importance in having known intimately the dead man and his friends. They felt a feeling of depression, as though the college had been smilled. And the Ips Tau Theta boys went around with clips on their shoulders . . . , a jacket darted up into a word of criticism.
The tragedy had cast a pill in over the campus; yet it had brought a new and strange excitement. Even commencement, which at this season of graduation was so all-important, seemed a matter of little moment. Examinations held terror for very few of the students. It was as though they had been confronted by some of the starkness of life, human love . . . examinations and bachelors' degrees seemed of small moment by comparison.
