TUESDAY, JUNE 2, 1931 THE END The day of doom is drawing near. Soon the seniors of the University will dutifully walk past the Rock Chalk pile down into the stadium to receive their diplomas and absorb a more or less unnecessary amount of inspiration from the mouths of wise men. In that brief moment, the agony of four (or more) long years of study, outragent senior donors, exasperating profs, unfair rules, innumerable traffic tags, blind dates, and a thousand and one other inconveniences of college life will be forgotten in the exalation of having at last attained the goal of a college education. According to tradition and custom the senior should be moping about the campus shedding a halting tear now and then in honor of his departure. He should be morse and sweetly sentimental, wandering up and down the halls of the believed buildings that sheltered him in his years of ignorance, uttering sighs of despair at the unkind fate which punishes him unceremoniously from the hallover portals into a world that is both fridg and tyrannical in its treatment of college graduates. But the seniors are to be congratulated rather than crenaded for their demeanor during these last few days. They have heroically avoided the sloppy sentimentality and ready-made emotion that has become so characteristic of their species while undergoing the death agonies of graduation. Each and every one of them is probably thinking a benign Providence that has been fit to let him successfully escape after so many years. But for some unexplained reason, the members of this year's senior class are unreasonably light-hearted and happy. To all appearances they are not haunted by dull fears or frightening premonitions of the days to come. They laugh, dance, crum for finals in much the same manner as they have done throughout their University career. And they actually seem glad to see their college days drawing to a close! "Ten Nights in a Barroom" is advertised as a play that brought prohibition. Well, we still need to have it shown. YOURS—WHETHER OR NOT YOU WANT IT When a driver takes the wheel of a car, he assumes responsibility for the welfare of his passengers. He may not want it, but he has it just the same. If he is careless and irresponsible he leaves traps in his wake, and when the realization comes that he has caused death, crippled bodies and unlucky suffering, his first reaction is "why didn't I think before it was too late?". Such regrets are vain and futile. The thing to do is to think now, today, and every day, that the lives of other people are in your hands. Cultivate the safety habit and live a little longer. "What To Read During Finals" is the title of an article. It ought to be followed by one on how to keep from reading during finals. The whole student population was stunned at the tragedy which occurred recently and caused the death of four students. Condolences and sympathy, sincere but sometimes inadequately expressed, were offered to the families of the victims. MEMORIAL The parents of one of the men, Miri and Mrs. Fred Spek, Sr., have arrangements for the giving of a large fund for scholarships, a generous as well as a sensible memorial for their son. It will be a living memorial which will give constantly increasing pleasure to groups of worthy men who will make the most of a college education. Robert Service expressed the sentiments of the sorrowing mother and father in poetry: You'll live, you'll live, my wonderful boy. In the gleam of the evening star In the wood note wild, and the laugh of a child. and all the beautiful things there are. Surely nothing could be more beautiful than service to others, help for those who merit it. They have chosen wisely a way to perpetuate his memory. What is an optimist? A fellow wl spends ten cents on a quiz book. THERE OUGHT TO BE A LAW When a prot leaves the room where he is giving an examination he is beating. Yee air, he is cheating just as much as the student who planneres over his neighbor's paper and picks up a point or two, because through his carelessness he is allowing the unprepared student to gain an unfair advantage over the one who knows his subject. All members of the class are in more or less competition. Even where no bell curve system is adhered to and no certain percentage is designated as A, B, and failure, the quality that one student achieves — something that one student places where the other does — the grades will fall. When one person gains a better grade by cribbing than he should, he is gaining an unfair advantage over the one who actually earns this grade. An instructor knows that there are some in almost every class who will cheat if given a chance, and when he says 'I know that I can trust everyone in this class,' he is lying to excuse his negligence. He goes out of the room to bunk-fell with another professor or goes to his office to prepare for an exam or other class instruction and allows the honest student to have his good work stolen. A SINCERE COMPLAINT There is a high, wide wall that divides the two races; but every time a member of the black race does worthwhile commendable work which is recognized by those of the supposedly superior race, there is one chip off the wall. It looks like a slow process, tearing down such a wall that years of bitter hatred have built, but something has been done on the campus this year, and similar things will continue to be done until the wall becomes lower and more narrow. A Negro student has been an outstanding student in at least one department on the Hill. By work, initiative, and friendliness, she has won recognition from prejudiced students who were sure that she would fail in the duties assigned her as a staff member of the Kansan. Her case is probably duplicated in other departments on the Hill. The work of one student is only a small bit of all that will have to be done before there is a more perfect understanding between the races, but it is being done. Negro students in general are to be congratulated for their devotion to the work they have to do. Every time they win recognition for outstanding work, they are winning that recognition for their race as well as for "benevoles." GREETINGS: PROMINENT GRADUATE From a person described to us as a "prominent graduate," the Kanusa has recently received a clipping of a cigaret advertisement which recently appeared in this publication. Mr. Mrs. or Miss Prominent Graduate queried as to the necessity of running this kind of advertising in a University newspaper. To which we are obliged OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXVIII Tuesday, 2 June, 1921 Vol. 192 The regular pay role for the month of June are now ready for signature and should be signed at once. The nine months faculty pay roll covering one-half month's salary must be signed on or before June 18 in order that we may secure the warrants by June 25. to respond with a rather garbled and perhaps not unsatisfactory reply. The editorial department, being concerned with the moral welfare of the student body, answers emphatically "NO?" There cigarette advertisements are bad, mainly because they induce young women to smoke. Psychologically responsive young women just can't resist smoking after they've read the ads. But in all fairness to the diversified interests of the several departments, this reply should voice the stand of the business office, which is of course, just as emphatically, "Yes, run 'em." The Kanen means the revenue, the business advisers say. (It is difficult to get a business manager in a white heat over a moral crusade, Mr Prominent Graduate.) And finally, the news department's We don't give a darn" just about express the opinion of the rest of those concerned. College students have been reading cigarette advertisements since they were old enough to turn to the comic section of their favorite metropolitan newspaper, so why rob them of this form of entertainment at this late date? At the Recital The final number of the afternoon's program showed Mr. Ardrey in the role of composer rather than so-called bassoon groups. The University string quartet, consisting of Walderman Gelfch, first violinist and keyboardist Leviwa, D. M. Krali Sehring, and D. M. Swarthout, cello, played the opening two movements of a string quartet of 1986, which was part of his treasury as part of his thesis requirement. The composition showed distinct talent for original work and an ability to express it especially pleasing was the lively scherzo. The composer was asked to rise from the bassoon to trumpet and schlownze the applause. Mr. Ardrey gave his previous recital for his Bachelor's degree here some years ago and began a musical profession of serious purpose and musical talent. Two years of teaching and concert work plus a private workshop with a teacher, Professor Waldemar Celtich, has done much to further the arts education he broadens in interpretive powers. Ruth Ellis Ardrey acted as a capable and sympathetic accompanist for the viola numbers. The second of the graduate recitant was held Sunday afternoon at the Administration Auditorium when Eldon Ardrey, violinist, appeared in the orchestra assisted by the University string quartet. The audition was a large one. Even examination week with its finals did not prevent many students from attending the program. As the end of the year approaches and the last issue of the Kusan is ready to go to press, ye ed submits the following to all faithful followers, and those who are not so friendly. It seems to be a left-handed compliment for our sheet, but expresses coaxily our sentiments in the first three paragraphs. We hope the last paragraph is correct, but we have some sneaking doubts. In the first place, anyone who knows the editor probably knows his opinions how poor they are. Among this group, the editors don't know anything about the problems here, there and yon which he talks about, and consequently don't care what he thinks. Now that the editors have to deal with But to those poor benefited souls who still have some illusions about the oracular quality of Student Life, we merely say that these simple yokes can make unappeasable silly to be recored with. Our Contemporaries One of the few relics of the Golden Age is the pretended optimism of the student of Student Life when he brinds out his thoughts. He sees people in the days when people everywhere thought about things—the tariff, politics, the next meeting between parties and those in the daze when journalist vitimation and personal feeling ran high, editorials had some place in the scheme of things. But now—the they are THE UTTER AND COMPLETE USE-LESSNESS OF EDITORIALS Why, this trump that we run—if we write about politics, you know it'd broil. If we write about the Michigan raids, you know it's drilled out in a department, you know it'd broil. If we write about the campus tree planting, or the fraternities at Oregon and at Texas, you know too many people in college or not, or about the bird life at Kansas University, you can be dog-guaranteed sure that it's all pure Plain Tales And above all, never read the editorial at the bottom of the column. It's only a filler. And if by any chance is any good, it's probably cubed. Kansan is Kansan. McGill Daily - Washington University Daily Student. TRUE STORY Here is a believe it or not that might be valued by Ripley. The other day, he suggested we were having its annual nominations for the office of Secretary Colonel. The next week, he added that there are requirements for nominees when a mock little freeman boy spoke up. "Can we nominate anyone we like?" "Absolutely!" "Then it doesn't have to be a P Phi?" SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS FINDS BABY ON DOORSTE Moundidge, Kan. — (UP) — County authorities have been unable to find any close to the identity of the party that planned a robbery at Moundidge recently. The baby was left at night on the doorstep of the house of J. T. Dirkens superintendent. The infant, a red-haired, blue-eyed girl, weighing five pounds and six ounces gave every indication of being under-nutrition, and is responding to her mother's concern at the McPherson county hospital where she is being cared for. Chicken Hea Four Legs Mice中国人 His Four mice (UP)—Two fowls chickens were used from one batch of eggs at a Marquette hatchery recently. One of the chickens has four legs. It sometimes uses one pady, sometimes the other, and occasionally one frankish freak has only one wing. Both the chickens are apparently healthy.
