PESTS
Interruption费, $4.00 per year, payable in advance. Single聘, 56聘. Each.
Entered at arrear or omitted from September 17 1912 at arrear or at Lawners Kauai, undr. act of March 1, 1873.
Now there are all kinds of pests—the pests who don't study, the pests who study all the time—the pests who sit around and talk, and the pests who are always in too big a hurry to say even a word. But there is one type of pest who appears annually at this time of year and whom it is practically impossible to squeak.
The worst of this civil is that it attacks only one class of students—those who are about to leave this great institution of learning.
The pest may be distinguished by the fact that he says one little sentence over and over. That sentence is the simple little question, "Have you got a job?"
You may be leisurely drinking a coke when this slay, malicious question is aimed at you. Your throat tightens up, your eyes swim and you theathe by sheer will power you straighten up and abstain an impulse to place your fingers about the thout until life has become extinct. You simply smile and say nonchalantly, "Not yet."
THE NATIONAL LIBRARY
Gem from the Kansan Copy desk:
"Harlan, Ky, May 6—(U-P)—Formal appeal for Kentucky state troops to cope with guerilla warfare . . .." These college kids just can't seem to get evolution out of their minds.
The May issue of Current History calls attention to its great development. At the present time there are 4,000,000 books, 1,000,000 maps, and 500,000 prints. The manuscripts now constitute the largest collection of source material for American history research under any one roof.
Few citizens of the United States are aware of the great store of treasures which have been accumulated in our National Library. A fortune few have studied and worked there among the documents and manuscripts, and some others have visited it, but to the most of its value is unknown.
One can find in the rare book section a first edition of Paradise Lost, or the 1550 edition of Piers Plainwaw. The first book printed as well as written by Benjamin Franklin is included in the collection of his books.
Furthermore, Henry Folger chose Washington as the ideal city for his Shakespeare Memorial. He has also chosen a site adjacent to the library as the place for the building. Washington is becoming a cultural center of importance for the world.
Spurs $650,000 in Romance--headline. Evidently the jolly fellow wasn't a pigolo.
SCREEN MIMICS
Theodore Drisler recently remarked that "motion pictures are making the kind of persons one sees in motion pictures." At first glance this seemed innocent enough, but when one looks at some of the campus creatures rife hereabouts, one is not so sure.
Have you seen the college boy on this campus who instantly strikes you as fresh off the Colfoll movie screen? He's the fellow who sees you with a girl and then asks you the next time when you're alone: "So you've been out with the wife," meaning, of course, that you have dated a girl with whom he once
had an engagement, too. He knows all the girls on the campus, thinks that he knows something about them that one else knows, whereas his knowledge is only superficial. You'll find this "Joe College type in the eat shops no matter what time of the day you saucer in; with his feet sprawled across the edge of a table and a cigaret dropping out of one corner of his mouth he presents another side to the intellectual countenance of the University.
He knows all the latest jokes; he reads avidly all the comic magazines that purport to convey college life. He wears, perhaps, a small hat cocked on the back of his head, and has a manner about him that is allegedly dry and humorous, and makes you wish that you'd never see a college movie—and that he had never been so susceptible himself to such celluloid falsifications.
Triplets to An Iceman—hecaline. And why not?
RAINY MORNINGS
After spending a night with turbulent dreams, a student decided to get up the other morning at seven o'clock. Finding the atmosphere of the house uncongenial and fraught with disturbing snores, he elected to venture forth and explore the out-of-doors at that ungally hour.
It was raining, so he denihed his hicler and struck out for Marvin Grove As he entered that sophisticated forest the odor of wet wood assailed his awareness. A turtle dove coved in the distance and another answered nearby. A robin hopped about singing merrily in spite of the drizzle, and swallowed two inches of fishworm. The invigorating air invited his lungs to expand and feast on its sweet freshness. The walnut and catalpa trees made lacy outlines against the gray sky, and shook sheets of raindrops upon his uncombed bair.
Well, this student found the experience so agreeable that he bought an alarm clock that afternoon and arose at seven o'clock each morning thereafter. He learned that on morning when it was not raining, there were other allurements in that morning walk. He discovered that since he had prefaced his days with that early tramp through the forest, his thoughts have been raised to unbeated of levels and his grades have followed his thoughts. Naturally this student is proud of his discovery and wishes to let others know of this source of inspiration.
Arthur Brisbane believes that "in nine cases out of ten, wealth is the greatest obstacle a boy must overcome." But then it's really nothing compared to overcoming hunger.
TEMPER
A temper can do both great and small things. Sometimes a violent temper casts people to the heights of fame, and at other times it makes them paupers. Peter the Great was the victim of a terrible temper—some authorities say he was the monarch—but still he did many things to make Russia a greater nation than it had been before he became titan. All of us know of the many people who have been ruined by their impetuosity.
A CASE OF TOO MANY COOKS
Clara Bow was hurried to fame by her passionate personality. She was the leading "it" actors for a long time. Finally her escapades caused by an emotional life which got out of her control became known to the public. The knowledge of the public did not seem to effect Clara's popularity, but the effect of the life she had been living wrecked her own nervous system. Now she is in a sanitarium recuperating.
She is just another moving picture star who has been carried to the heights because she was emotional; she is just another star who has fallen because she was passionate. Less speed in the rise usually means more stability at the top. Clara would have done well to regulate her life a little more carefully. She might still be in the early port of her career instead of at the sunset.
CAUSE OF THE Y.
The Y. M. C. A, which is supposed to foster many interests on the Hill, has to a limited degree been successful in the noon forums, freshman commission, and the inter-racial committee. The

organization is also in some degree an agency to find jobs for students on the Hill.
Last year there was an increased number of names filed at the office in application for positions. There was no work to be found. The merchants of Lawrence had co-operated somewhat, but the cause of so few appointments was said to be "depression."
If the athletic department and the employment bureau of the Y. M. C. A. would co-operate, even to a minimum degree the situation would be greatly加ided. As it is, merchants supply jobs to the person who inquires first. Consequently, some of those who need them most are left out.
There are exceptions, but that practice exists at present. Why not organize one central employment bureau with representatives of the athletic department, the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, and perhaps the secretary of the Y. M. C. A.? There would be nothing to lose and a great deal to gain.
The K. U. campus may have the repetition of being beautiful, but that is rue only so long as the campus back yard is not mentioned. The rear view $f$ the Hill, from the south, has the aspects of a foundation.
THE CAMPUS BACK YARD
Driving in on highway 73W gives a view of the back walls of the campus buildings which are made of cheaper material than are the other sides. Making parts of the buildings of inferior material has saved some cost in their construction, so it should not be too severely criticized; but patches on the south side of Blake hall are unmissible, and the barren walls of most of the buildings make no pretense of being beautiful.
It doesn't take the freshman very long to learn what that word "apple polishing" means. And it doesn't take a class long to know which of their members would fall in that classification.
APPLE POLISHING
The school does have difficulty in securing appropriations from the legislature, but if a few vines could be planted around these walls much could be done for their beauty. Vines are not like gardens or libraries or museums; they don't need carracters. If they were planted and got a start with the slightest encouragement they might grow all by themselves and cover those walls and make the back yard of the campus look more like university grounds.
does apple polishing pay? When you seat all the rugs before you asked your mother if you could go swimming you were apple polishing. In various ways you have apple-polished all your life, and you will apple-pollish the rest of it if you would be expedient. The person who gets the name of being one is just a degree worse than the rest of us. A professor once said if he had a student who was flunking and who did a good job of apple polishing he would let him by because it was good salesmanship and that was half of life. Professors usually know when a person is apple polishing, and yet we constantly see results of it. Therefore faculty members must approve of it.
At the Recital
By Lela Hackney
Kathleen Kersting, young soprano from the Chicago Civic Opera company, and a native of Kansas, delighted her audience last night. Miss Kersting appeared on the annual Moung Amarat concert in a feature of Music Week.
--you sleep.
Miss Kierzing chose her program wisely to display her talent most effectively, and the result was a fine blackish group. All of the last five numbers were rather modern tone poems, and were pretended to be intended for pretended. The best received were "The Sleep That Flits Over Baby Eyes," "When I Bring You Colored Toys" and "A Dream."
Of the German group, all were quite well-done and the lower tones, especially, were full and rich. "In Den Schatten" and "Morgenstimmung," compositions of Wolf received much of the applause. The remaining group of numbers was numbered in *Ubn Del B*, lighter and more full of delicacy than the others.
Miss Keringen has a powerful, rich and full voice which she uses exceptionally well. She speaks of much comment, and her breath seems to flow on endlessly. She articulates quite well, but at times her breath feels like it was not healthy. This was widely noticeable, however.
Assisting Mias Kerating was Otto Fischer, pianist, accompanist and comedian. He lived in his home town. Mr. Fischer certainly earned the large amount of applause given him after each of his numbers. He gave the piano a very special touch that is so delightfully easy to listen to. The first of his number was a demo of his own piano. The composer, Cowell, is an American. This number featured work with the left palm and the left forearm, creat-
It was pleasing to the audience last night to see such a young person with an ability so decidedly drama-filled that she could dramatize her song, and the opportunity to dramatize her song, but she had splendid taste in her gestures. In fact, she's the most charming of the general charm of the program.
Both artists responded again and again with encores which were well received.
One of Mr. Fischer's own compositions, "Enchanted Forest," followed after which he played Lisat's "Tarantella."
REPORTING AS A PROFESSION
Our Contemporaries
ABE WOLFSON
There are certain traditional views of newspapers that have come down from past generations. One of them is that the newspaper reporter is a happy-go-lucky individual, with no particular training, who takes his work in a desirability from city to city with no other purpose than to see the world and enjoy life.
However true this conception may have been fifty years ago, it is fantastic when applied to the reporter of today. The interview in The Star year-denoted by Ariel Brandt of the Pulitzer prize, by the Star's Roving Correspondent, illustrates the background and information of the modern efficient reporter. It reveals two men with a wide acquaintance with literature and journalism, set as seriously as any professional man.
In fact, the modern reporter is a professional man. He works hard to acquire the necessary training and to develop himself in a broad way. He learns to communicate effectively with audiences, but to give an understanding interpretation of them. He recognizes his responsibility to his readers and to the great public service institution with which he works. In this world for a reporter to tretit his trust.
No profession is more exacting in its demands than that of reporting. The reportorial work of a newspaper is an essential factor in modern life in keeping up with the changing times, as a class measure up to their high opportunity—Kansas City Star.

Humanism The Hope of the World
You are cordially invited to hear E. Burdette Backus, of Los Angeles, give his final address on Humanism under the title, "WHEN ALL THE WORLD IS HUMANIST!"
The world needs intelligent guidance. Humanism is the only religion that promises this. It unites the idealism of religion with the practical efficiency of science. Humanism promises such control of nature and human organization as to give mankind happiness and comfort on earth. Its ideal is practical; it can be realized.
