HASTY ACTION
When a tragedy comes among us, we suddenly become over-consciensible We are then suggestible, and our ability to reason seems to desert us. A tragedy has come among us on the Hill. Four of our number have met sudden and violent death.
The human mind seeks to find a cause for all things. Nothing is more natural than for the student body and the administration to seek to find the cause for this accident which has made us realize how puny is the strength of mankind. In our search for causes we are irrational. We are in the habit of jumping at conclusions, and before we think we often make rules which it is difficult for us to unmaude; rules which cannot change faults which remain in existence.
For these reasons any action regarding the student ownership of automobiles should be carefully considered. The value and the expediency of such action should be painstakingly weighed. Any ruling concerning the ownership of cars on the Hill, if made immediately, is likely to be ill-considered. The plan which the W. S. G. A. has discussed, and that which body has suggested that the Men's Student Council accept, also must necessarily be careful, attentive driving is the remedy for most of the evil of student ownership of automobiles. A ruling made new, which could only be enforced by Hill police would do little toward averting the type of accident which caused such a tragedy as the recent one. A ruling to be effective would have to have student opinion behind it; it is doubtful whether students feel that a new traffic regulation, enforceable only within the boundaries of the campus, would help the situation.
"Eight years of litigation over 30 millions ended," says the news story. The winner of the suit would say "Thirty millions ended after eight years of litigation."
SPANISH WITH SCOTCH INSTINC
WITH SCOTCH INSTINCT
King Alphonso showed all the canniness with which the Scotch are traditionally credited when he chose to live in France rather than England. The British Kingdom demands a very high income tax from all her subjects, and a king without a country would be assessed. Since the Spanish monarch is supposed to have something like $750-1000, his income tax would be quite m item.

TEMPUS FUGIT
The capture recently of the two young men who have been preying on travelers along nearby highways brings to mind the old stories of the West; when the trails knew bandits whose activities were more picturesque than those of the two modern thieves. Obvious the distinction between minimized law-breaking and to all appearances the criminal is a staple product of society, infesting each generation in comparative numbers. In our grandfather's time, the ban-
In our grandfathers' time, the bandits appeared with a mighty whoop.
their horses galloping, their guns barking. As important to them as their boots was their colorful behavior. Today the old handier' posterior slips sedimentally upon the unlucky motorist or pedestrian, robs him, and disappears quietly. The purposes in larceny have no known change throughout the centuries, but each generation's criminals have their own particular style. Whether they be noisy, taciturn, rough or gentle, they are a menace to society, and the Lawrence patrolmen, with the memory of one of their fellow officer killed two weeks ago, deserve the thanks of the community for their unfincibious courage and persistence in mission not another sane.

TAKE A BOW
Junior Goen's play by itself earned him international fame, and he is known, not only through America but in France and England and throughout that whole portion of the world where sports papers are printed in newspapers. Elsewhere, many people pay a good deal just to see him; on our own campus, far too many overlook the opportunity of watching him play.

SOMETHING FREE
The Kanas has been accused of being hardhoiled about free publicity, but here is a little bit for the Sour Owl which is offered gratis. It is intended to be a nice large briekbat, and it is hurled knowing the more that is said on the subject the more copies of the next issue will be sold.
But, the above being true, we still want to say that the Sour Owl is a fowl bird. He isn't particularly raw about it, because his humor is quite often subtle, so subtle that the pure minded often fail to see the paint, but the fact of the matter is that the stuff is just about gutter level. Most students enjoy the Owl; enough of them pay good money for it that the organization which puts it out makes over $300 on each issue. But is that sufficient excuse for its existence?
Some of the publishers of the Owl defend the jokes contained in it on the ground that to the pure minded all things are pure, and therefore if you say that the Owl is dirty, it must be that you have a vulgar mind which is capable of understanding the shady jokes. The reasoning sounds mervelous, but there is something phoney about it somewhere. Any college freshman, even one who has been reared at the end of his mother's apron strings, is capable of getting the point to most of the Owl jokes. Of course as time, experience and collegiate bull-feats enlarge the vocabulary and broaden the ideas of students, they are able to understand what Owlie means in all its remarks.
It takes a really sophisticated, man-of-the-world really to get his money's worth out of a Sour Owl. The unutured, shy, sensitive, uninformed student gets badly cheated. And the fact remains that the Sour Owl is a filthy bird.
Little commends W. Y. W. C. A.-headline. Exactly what has been said before in these columns.
It is about time for the information to be passed around among the faculty that cheating must be prevented in the approaching finals, and the usual instructions about the conduct of examinations will be given.
There will be cheating this time because there always is, and human nature will not go out and reform one week before finals—not with grades an absolute necessity. There will be some instructors who help you to understand conduction it, and a few will ardently pursue the villains who dare attempt it.
The ideal test is one in which cheating is an impossibility. Examinations can be designed so that a crib, class notes, or even a text book would not supply the vital points or supply information to answer the questions satisfactorily. In almost every course, there could be a few questions framed which would test the student's knowledge of the subject without asking him in particular what the lecture or class notes had been covering.
A mathematics instructor uses the idea when he asks the solution of an original problem which is like the ones studied, but different enough so that the student's memory helps him only in giving the principle involved. Of course, such questions are difficult to frame, and occasionally impossible, but they are one answer to the problem that worries the faculty so much.
Briand Out of It—headline. The people seem to be having their outs.
The man who permitted himself to be talked out of committing suicide so that he might be locked in the jail makes us realize that sometimes a jail may act as a preventative.

Editor's Note: In this column yesterday in an editorial headed "The University Suffers," a protest was made against the university for students under arrest K. U. students, giving the impression that they are at the present time enrolled in the University. An error left behind in this column, which effectively turned the tables, and made the Kansean seem to do exactly what it was criticizing other papers for not doing so.

Plain Tales
IS IT?
A throaty young saleman stood at the top of Fourteenth street yesterday morning and tried his best to put a boat in his hull in his Sowl Owl sell campaign.

Last night a group of astronomy students went on a picnic. Mr. Alter may be highly interested in the stars at the museum, but he didn't dare dine things in this instance. He bought the food, and ordered 10 dozen buns for twenty people. Pearls and plenty of cream were also on the table.

BUNS. AND MORE BUNS
The party arrived at its destination, and just when everybody had his mind on the lusciousness of a crisp bun filled with creamy peach marmalade, the awful truth came out. The buns, all 120 of them, had been left in Lawrence.
To most students in the University today, the name of Millon W. Reynolds probably means but little, and the cognomen "Kicking Bird" means still less. The name of Reynolds will recall that he was a regent of the University from 1875 to 1877, and in Oklahoma the appellation "Kicking Bird" has become synonymous with the opening of Okelah Library in 1880, in the minds of him.

Cumming, Mass.—(NSEA)—Plans are well under way for the establishment of a university in the U.S., under the direction of Miss Katherine Fraser, former Mount Holkyo instructor and now director of house-in-the-Hilla, at Cumming.
In a recent article in the Oklahoma City Oklaoum, a review of the colorful life of Reynolds was given. A champion of the Booneville chronicle, he wrote in "The Territory he lies today in an unmarked grave i the cemetery of Edmond, Okla., only monument being the Edmund Sur territory inhabited July 18, year of the "run."

A power in the journalistic field is his day, known from the Atlantic coast to the territory, the article says, a powerful first-century forty-second anniversary of his death, to honor him. The movement, sponsored by the Oklahoma Press Association, instigated the idea for placing his work in the news, but thus far no action has been taken.
Coming west soon after the Civil war, he served as correspondent for the New York World, the old Tribune, the Chicago Times and later the Kansas City
The methods of instruction will be a departure from the traditional classroom routine and recitations. Instruction will come through interactive, informal talks, group discussions, studio practice and independent research.

Besides his ability as a journalist he was an excellent gatekeeper. He served two terms in the Nebraska legislature, and he also worked at a company entitled Labette县 in the Kansas
In 1867 he was sent by eastern papers to cover the Medicine Lodge peace surrender, and in 1895 he was saved by the Kiowa Indian chief "Kicking Bird," and thereafter he adopted that term as a sitem de plume on the frontier of the Territory. An employee of the University, whose family knew Reynolds intimately, tells the following in
At the Medicine Lodge council the Indian chiefs had signed the pact with the colonists. They were a man almost indefeable, then stepped forward and wrote his name. An Indian chief standing nearby called Uh, white man make mark too."
ABSENT STUDENT PAYS FINE AT NORTH CAROLINA SCHOOL
Chapel Hill, N.C.-(NSPA)—Computational attendance at classes at the University of North Carolina has been rerenewed. In addition, students who are absent. In spite of student agitation for optional attendance, the faculty of the university passed a resolution to allow students to attend the attendance question. The psychology department now charges 50 dollars for attending classes for missing a class without a good reason. Excuses unused from examinations will cost the offender $1. Two dollars will be charged for missed exams.

THERE'LL BE SOMETHING NEW TOMORROW
Every time you feel like muttering "There's nothing new under the sun," take up your daily paper and read through the advertisements. Chances are, you'll change your mind. Here's a new wrinkle in sport togs . . . there's a new kind of a suit that should have been thought of long ago . . . here's a smart looking suit.
These things concern you intimately—they affect your life and the manner in which you live it. They are new things under the sun. And advertisements are the arms with which they reach out and touch you. Read the advertisements regularly. There'll be something new tomorrow . . . and the day after . . . and the day after that. Something you wouldn't want to miss.
