Pollutated in the afternoon, few times a week and at low levels, the air quality was good. The Association of University of New York (from the late 1970s) and the Law Society (from the late 1950s) joined the Lawrence Institute (in 1913.5.10.11). North Science Center (now Science Center) was located on the 4th floor. In 1867, at the age of office in Lawrence, Rutherford was appointed as an attorney.

Shall university men and women split fifty-fifty on date expenses?
THE PERENNIAL ARGUMENT
Every year about this time someone brings up that perennial argument. We'd venture to say that this question is just about as old as the University, because we've got the gall to think that men who wore derby hats and flowing mounts back in the Gay Ninetyes weren't a bit more chivalrous than college men of the day, but they probably thought something about expenses, too. In fact, you can't tell us that old Walt Raleigh didn't cripple just a little when Queen Elizabeth trod her dainty dogs all over his velvet coat.
Regardless of other days, however, the question still remains. There are those among college men who weep and wall about the high cost of getting around with a sweet young thing on their arm. Equitable expense is their cry, for after all, they argue, they are muscled, they take each other's company. Well, maybe that's so, and maybe it isn't.
On the other hand, there are those romantic descendants of forefathers who fought with rapiers for the honor of that young virgin bud in the balcony. What? Share expenses with a lady? Never, my dear suk, never!
Co-eds at the University of Missouri recently were reported to have favored the "Dutch" date, but close on the heels of a news story, one of the fair sisters gave public warning that any one who escorted her anywhere could plan on being stock and stuck about.
Personally, we don't think much can be done about it. It's mostly a problem of individual bankrolls. Judging from what's been done in the past, however, we are inclined to favor the idea that somehow it hurts a man's pride to expect anything, monetary or otherwise, from a woman.
An Ohio court has rued that failing students may be expelled from state-supported institutions. Well, that might be something new at Ohio, but here at Kansas it's just an old collegiate custom.
"BONESETTER" REESE
John D. Reese, known in the world of athletes as "Bonecatter" Reese, is dead. The end came quietly to this miracle man at the ripe old age of 76 years.
Reese served as a healer for both rich and poor. Away back in 1870 he rose from the ranks of Pittsburgh steel workers to become the most noted authority of his time on structure of the human bones and muscles. He treated everyone alike, regardless of station in life, and was known the country over for his congenial and democratic disposition.
When the life of this notable character was snuffed out, there left this world a man whose medicinal skill was wrapped solely in his skillful fingers, which the great and near-great relied for relief. What satisfaction must
have been manifest in his soul when death beckoned!
Reese, himself an ardent sportsman, had a part in the careers of many of America's successful athletes. Every Time Tie Cobb used to park a house run over the right field fence, "Bonesetter" Reese could sit back in his grandstand seat and rejoice that he had had a part in making this great athlete. Every Time Glenm Wright, who was one of his most spectacular stop and penged a man out at first, the Bonesetter could be aweigh a satisfaction. He had revamped Wright's limp arm into the best "whip" in the national league.
Other notables whom he do tore were Will Rogers and Free Stone, among the theatrical stars, former British prime minister, former British prime minister.
Surely there can be no doubt that "Bonesetter" Reese went to his death with a smile on his lips. He had alleviated pain and helped men to success. Truly he was a 'boon to suffering humanity.'
Down in Southern Kansas the other day, a man was tried for the theft of corn valued at 10 cents. Just more proof that in these days a dime is something to get excited about.
MORE FARM AID
Two significant events in the history of "farm aid" have occurred recently to show that the nation has not ceased thinking about farmers.
At the University of Missouri recently a style show was given in which one of the principal exhibits was a complete wedding dress, with costumes for the bridemaids to match, made entirely of cotton. Now that may sound silly, to those who are firm believers in the use of satins and silks for wedding dresses, but believe it or not, the outfit didn't look half bad.
The second event was the announcement by Dr. Robert E. Brown, of Oberlin College, at Oberlin, O, that he had developed a menu, complete from "soap to nuts," in which wheat, and wheat alone, was the principal ingredient. The professor plans to exhibit his menu to the national unemployment relief committee.
Two notable contributions to the relief of the farmer in the past week! If this idea of cotton wedding dresses goes through not only will it pep up the market for surplus cotton, but it will also do much to combat the evil of divorces, experts tell us, is becoming alarmingly prevalent. Then too, if Professor Brown's model menu gains universal favor, all the poor farmer need do is take a bushel of wheat in to the "missus" and have a turkey dinner all fixed up.
The governing fathers of the city of Lawrence have been bothered over the spending of the money that is to be made from the Kansas-Washburn charity football game. They have tentatively decided to spend it in repairing the streets of the city.
CHARITY FOR THE STREETS
The streets are beyond repair. They were not constructed properly when they were first made. The high school is in need of a playing field for sports. The parks could also be improved. Why not then do some work there? This would give the city something permanent.
The streets do need repairing we admit. Motorists risk their lives every time they drive faster than ten miles an hour over some of them. Mississippi street is especially atrocious. The streets are not built up by the city as a general function of internal improvement. If men must be hired to work why not let them do something that could not be otherwise accomplished out of the city budget? By doing this the city would receive a permanent benefit from the charity game as well as giving some men employment.

HUMAN MISERY
No, human beings cause themselves more suffering than any other agencies. Recently a Colorado radio station was broadcasting a marathon dance. The shuffling couples that still remained during the two hours and fifteen minute sprint broadcast had been dancing for 1491 hours, with only short periods for rest at the end of each spirit.
Human beings are the most miserable creatures in the world. But what makes them so? Is it the fact that they exist that causes their misery? That cannot be the case, for the animals and birds that likewise live do not appear to be suffering greatly, except from the inroads made upon them by people.
The announcer was as excited as Graham McNamee at a world's series game, telling of the progress of the couples. Three couples fell down from sheer exhaustion but managed to save themselves. One couple almost passed out and the cheers when they regained their feet were stupendous. The announcer announced the number of minutes to go from time to time, paying more attention to the case of a woman who neared collapse. A nurse went out twice to examine her and the announcer screamed excitedly in to the microphone "Her nerves are gone! Her nerves are gone! Her nerves are gone!" Such an ordeal leaves shattered bodies and sometimes shattered minds. If some outside agency should so torture people, a great
ery would go up in sympathy for the victims and the cause would be execrucited. But here they do it themselves so it must be all right

problematic than it was when a girl

to mind this greatly.
As the younger generation has set the way, so have most college administrators "gone modern." Cigarettes are no longer banned from the campus, and cigarette smoking in campuses buildings is limited only because of the fire hazard.

Likewise, most college administrators fail to see any harm in the insertion of cigar advertisements in newspapers and magazines. They seem to feel that since their charges smoke, the advertisers have the right of fair competition in the publication industry, but the publications should have the right to insert the advertisements so that they remain relevant and come in, the results tend to be very discouraging to the efforts of both editors and managers and managers, extremely fortunate in this respect. So have most of the papers on the Pacific Coast. Two of them, however, U.C. S. and Oregon universities still advertise cigars. This would lead to the remark that the administrators of these two colleges, outstanding for their work, still keep in touch with their times in this one important respect—University of Oregon.
University of Oregon -Long suffering freshmen at last have their chance. All sophomores who do not appear on the campus in rooster caps will be at the mercy of freshmen. The occasion is homecoming week. All underclassmen must wear the rooster caps. The caps are white with the rooster cap's a darker in the nond.
Merchants of the town have agreed to co-operate with the university and they will wear rooster caps during business hours.
