MARY'S DEMISE SUNDAY, MARCH 15 1931 We note regrettably the passing of our contemporary school, St. Mary's college at St. Mary's, Kansas. Established in 1846 as an Indian mission, the Jesuit institution now is to be turned into a theologate—a training school for those entering the priesthood. For more than eighty years—a long time in Kansas history—the school has served as a men's college. Among its enrollment have been students from all parts of this country and from many foreign lands. It was small but a capable school, rich in heritage and tradition, and high ranking in athletics and scholarship. And all other colleges in the state regret its death. A FEW POUNDS DIFFERENCE Dt someone ask, 'Wat the difference a few pounds make?' Well, a baseball bat that is too light will split, won't it? And a bat that is too heavy will tire out the batter, won't it? The bat that weighs exactly what it should is good for many a home run, isn't it? Well, there you are. But that is the difference a few ounces make. Now multiply that by sixteen, and that by the number of pounds over or under weight that you are, and don't ever ask again what difference a few ounces make. The stout ones may skip this paragraph—for no doubt a little skipping is just what they need. For those who are underweight—if you rush through your meals, all the owes on all the meats you don't add an ounce of flesh to your bones. you can at least wiggle your toes. keep moving. Burn up that excess flesh. It is a standing invitation to exercise. Now for the fat man who nobly loves, Your first step is to arise and walk. "Keep moving" should be your song, your motto, your prayer—the size of your shoes. If you are too stunt to walk, then roll. If you roll UNIVERSITIES REVAMPED "Houses," quadrangles, masters, and "communal life" are rapidly becoming the fashion in American universities. Not quite pleased with the good old system of fraternities and roaming houses, Harvard, Chicago, and Yale are making startling innovations in living arrangement for their students. They plan to group students in glorified dormitories where they may live, work, and eat together, and incidentally, come into closer contact with members of the faculty. Edward Harkness, donor of Yale's famed Harkness Memorial quadrant, was following a style set by Princeton when he offered Yale several millions if it would divide its undergraduate body into smaller groups. This offer was scornfully rejected by the college, which emphatically declared that it did not want any such disruption of Yale traditions. Mr. Harkness then turned to Harvard, which, somewhat more wisely than Yale, accepted his proposition, although not without opposition from student publications. During the past year Harvard has been using the year Harvard some of its existing dermatories, adding dining halls, masters' rooms, and small libraries. In the coming spring and summer it plans to build three new quadrangles. Chicago, not to be outdone, has announced the adoption of a similar scheme, and now Yale, too, has fallen into line, and agreed to eleven residential "colleges." Strange as it may appear to the innovators, who seem to believe that they are following the English system as exemplified by Oxford and Cambridge, the new arrangement does not correspond to the English one, in which the colleges hold the balance of power. And there is no reason why it should. It resembles more than anything else the situation now existent in hundreds of small colleges all over the United States, where the students eat in common dining halls and maintain intimate relationships with members of the faculty who reside with them in dormitories. What the new plan really means is that the large colleges in the universities concerned are to be given the advantages long enjoyed by students in smaller institutions, such as Haverford or Swarthmore, or those of the fact that their student body is more homogeneous than those at the larger universities. Charlie Chaplin has decided to go to ussia in order, we suppose, to see the Communist's black shirts will catch the ebony of his famous mouse-che. BOOKS IN ORGANIZED HOUSES caternity and sorority houses as well as dormitories on the campus, if they live up to their ambition to provide real college homes and to encourage the cultural as well as the social side of would include well equipped iracles. Open book cases, easy chairs, well placed lights, and the best of all books, both old and new—how many fraternity houses can boast of them? There are a few who have made a good start in the right direction in this matter, but Obviously, a library cannot be kept up to date without frequent additions, which are undoubtedly an expense. Several plans may be devised. Why not a budget for books in the chapter budget? Other plans might include an alumni endowment for books or donations of favorite books from chapter seniors as farewell gifts to the chapter. The college librarian or a local book-seller would undoubtedly be glad to keep a list of recommended books up to date. Fraternity libraries and libraries in organized houses in the future may be the inspiration for a change in the reading habits of college students and alumni. This is undoubtedly a needed reform. Almost any intellectual will tell you that readers of "Liberty" are hidebound in their tastes. A lot of ordi- cal books, apparently, are deluded by the title. MARBLE SEASON Marble season has arrived in Lawrence. Every youngster in town rattles from the "potties" in his pocket, and if that auditory indication is not enough to prove the opening of the season, you might note the soiled knees and begrimed knuckles of all the boys between five and fourteen. Mothers, too, have a harrashed look in their eyes. They want to be intimidated by a stray mache and fall. Many of them are also worrying about means whereby their sons' hands can be cleaned and the knees of their sons' trousers fitted effectively. Could you, by any chance, explain why Kansas students who attended the Junior From yelled intermittently when the junior was left when it ceased? This is my first year on the Hill, and before I came here do I know how many people below you show to their appreciation of a party. Is such a tendency an issue, or would you clear up this question?

Our Contemporaries MOTOR FATALITIES (New York Times) A pamphlet on motor-vehicle accidents prepared by the Travelers Insurance Company of Fort Lauderdale and the Army Corps of Engineers World War the A. E. F. lost 50,130 men in battle and fatally injured in eighteen battles, and 9,680 people were killed by motor accidents in the United States. The grand total of fatalities for fifteen years, which included four wars, the War of four years 110,670 Union soldiers were killed or died of wounds, while the motor toll of deaths in the United States was 42,020. As to 1930 it was 117,532. The number of non-fatal injuries in 1930 was 83,250. Since that time, there has been a decrease to 15,000, 000,000 miles, but fatal accidents increased more than 4 per cent increments from 1920 to 1930. "of motor cars were responsible for more than three times a "many accidents as pedestrians, most of them cyclists," and about four times the number c "persons injured." In 28.000 of the fatal accidents in 1930 there was nothing wrong with the vehicles mechanically. Nine out of every ten persons killed were drivers in which the drivers had had more than a year's experience at the wheel. Most of the accidents occurred because of the lowest casual day. Forty-two of every 100 fatalities happened in the night-time. Most of the drivers at fault were exceeding the speed limit, driver failing to stay on the road, failing to grant right of way. Obviously inside of a motor car is safer than the street, for "the deaths of pedes-tians carried to 122 per cent more victims" and the seven "faults of colliding cars". The conclusions to be drawn from the figures in this pamphlet are that the law must put a greater car on drivers, because the vehicles need to be stricter, that better protection must be given pedestrians, who must be made aware of the dangers of highways, and that users of motor vehicles must be led to feel their responsibility at all times and in all circumstances. Plain Tales Two men were leaning over a counter. The air was filled with cigarette smoke. They were taking low to a man's face, then lifting the heavy, and dark complexion; they all must have been foreigners. They talked with an accent. A tall fellow stood inside the door. His hat was fluffed up, his eyes. He was watching the street. THE RACKET Suddenly a large car stopped in front of the place. The man near the door aboutlaed a warning to those inside the car. He ran up and caught a muffie rifle from under his coat. There was a short row; little holes appeared on the seat. The gun crumpled in the doorway. The men at the counter fell in a heap. The big car could be heard racing down the street. A fellow in the front row said, "Let's go—this is where we came in and I've got a sociology quiz tomorrow."
