TUESDAY, JANUARY 6, 1931 HOW TO PASS THE FINALS For those who are seriously concerned about passing the approaching finals, the advice of G. H. Embarkoons of College University in "The Intercollegian" might prove edifying. The secret, he says, is not in how to study, it is in how to review. His system in short is this: Underline all important points in your textbooks, your reference books, and class notes with a red pencil. Copy these points on three-by-five filing cards. Mix these cards in one pile and each morning stick several cards in your pocket to carry about with you during the day. During your spare moments glance at the cards, fixing the points in your mind. A card or two can be read while standing in line at the cafeteria; read one while smoking that between-classe cigarette; a half-dose can be gone through while your are waiting for your date to powder her nose and put on her hat, and the reminder can be go off into a series of reminiscences. Those cards which you have thoroughly mastered may be and inside while the reminder should be returned to those not yet mastered. Any one pursuing this practice diligently each day will find his scholastic ambitions realized whether he be membership in Fhi Beta Kappa or eligibility for the varsity athletic teams. George Bernard Shaw advised an audience of law students in New York to marry on a basis of business relationship rather than love. Yes, we imagine the most of them will need someone to support them for the first 10 years or so. WEATHERMAN, WEATHERMAN, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? There's to be a blizzard soon. Not that authorities say so—it just stands to reason. Four months of ideal weather, clear skies for the most part, and comfortable temperatures. Something is wrong — the Kansas climate was not ever so. Last year, if we remember rightly, the mercury dropped to 18 below about this time, and householders were busy all day showy doubling rations of coal into hungry furnaces. Whole families shivered as the ice air seeped in through the cracks around loose door and windows. If this October cheer keeps up we shall never get those old buckle galoshes of our worn out—they'll be hanging around for another summer. A number of seniors have experienced the last tuletide season during which they may dance all night and sleep all day for two weeks. Next year they will probably be thankful for two days of leisure. THE MORAL CULTURE LEAGUE IN ARKANSAS Bilasfully ignorant of the ridicule cast on its state because of the anti-evolution "monkey-hill," the Moral Culture League in Arkansas is now celebrating its victory, in passing a law requiring that teachers read 10 verses of the Bible daily in their classrooms. Arkansas citizens voted for the law in November. It reads that the pro- pounding of the verses in the classrooms shall be made by the teachers "without comment," a stipulation which throws everyone into turmoil as to whether such a phrase in the bill will make illegal the "teaching" of the Scriptures. It is the usual story. Reformers and their associations force legislation and clutter up the statute books, causing endless litigation and dissension. There is one thing certain about the bill however: If a student is forced to listen to the readings of the phrases from the Bible he no doubt will accept its commandments casually as many now accept Prohibition, without any attempt to put them into practice. Perhaps one cent a month is too much rent to pay on the Katz Drug Store under the Phillips Hotel in Kansas City. Accommodations for bell-hops should be considered. OUR LADIES LANGUISH Someone ago the Kansa suggested that the ping pong table in the Union building be placed where both men and women could take advantage of what entertainment it might afford. Thus far no action has been taken to give the women who go there each noon a fair break. While the men hat the little hall about and monopolize the bridge tables, their sisters have nothing to do except recline on a lounge and look romantic. But even this affords them little satisfaction, for the men are so busy at ping pong or bridge that feminine charm attracts but scant attention from them. Anyone who saw the Dallas Sumner girls play the Criteration队 of Kansas City in basketball, must be forced to the conclusion that University women have had their physical development retarded. Especially during this pre-examination period it is necessary to keep up one's strength and ring pong would afford probably the only means that many women have for exercising. Perhaps they would tie of the game in a few days, but they ought to be given a fair break. Even though they abandon the pasture after a few desultory attempts, the table should be left where it is available to them. At just the opportunity of their existence would be broken by watching the skillful maneuvers of the doughies make as they box the ball back and forth over the net. The movies predict that in fifty years every one will have a number instead of a name. At the rate our prisons are filling today it seems that the movie version of tomorrow is very possible. OUR ILLEGAL HIGHSCHOOLS One of the perennial questions to be presented to the state legislature in its session opening next Tuesday is the adjustment of our school problems, especially those affecting the village and small-town high schools. schools, and city high schools. There are, however, something like 300 high schools in the state, organized by ordinary school districts, for which there is no legal status. The statutes of Kansas provide for the organization of several types of high schools including community high In most of the counties, only a fraction of the taxable property is directly assessed for the support of the high schools. Great sections lie outside the taxable area of the illegal schools maintained by the ordinary districts. Most of the counties function either under the Barnes law or under the tuition law. In either event, for each pupil attending a high school from outside the district, the county pays a small sum to that high school. from the county is only a fraction, however, of the actual expense of maintaining its capital property and securing competent instruction. The situation is rendered more unjust by the fact that this county tax for paying the tuition of pupils attending other districts is levied over the entire county. Consequently, tax payers within a high school district not only pay the excessive tax needed to educate their own children and those coming in from the rural districts, but also the tuition of rural children who may go to a school across the county line. The amount received by the school from the country is only a fraction, however, of the actual expense of maintain- In remedying the situation some provision must inevitably be made for a uniform system of high school organization, for bringing all property into a taxing district, and for setting a valuation so that adequate financial support for the school may be secured. Business should be on its way again. Even if it isn't sound business, it should be business with sound effects. cured without an excessive tax levy. This is the time of year when the family cars, the family radio, and the family hardwood floors breathe a sigh of relief. "Bird Life at the South Pole" is the title of a new book telling of the expedition of Commander Byrd and his men in the Antarctic. The Sophisticated Sophomore says his New Year's Eve celebration was spied by some kind-hearted person's untimely mention of finals. A prominent Kansas City theater is going to expose the sins of youth. It might be well for some of us to visit the performance and learn something about ourselves. Maybe the English sparrow chirped happily, though featherless, because he had put out the lights in two Oklahoma towns. Or someone might have been bragging on his resistance. Some intelligent soul might well cause a little reiteration of the "day by day" business and have everyone saying, "Day by day, everything is getting better and better" until this depression talk has passed away. Men engaged in the business of structural steel work on large buildings should be successful, considering the large amount of public supervision which they receive from spectators. Kansas City reports a quiet and dry New Year's eve. We might venture the guess that the condition was not due to prohibition, as suggested, but rather because everyone was worn out from 364 days of revelry. College students who worked during the vacation probably discovered that the hardest job they will have after graduation is forgetting what they have learned in college so that they can talk to their families. Ah, an excuse for spats! A Kansas City boy, when held up by bands, discovered them to be a good hiding place for his watch. Too had he couldn't disguise his Ford as a milk wagon with the other one. At a time when thousands are jobless and many more are without the common necessities of life on family invested a million dollars in its daughter. ter's social debut. But society must meet these favorite daughters, and there is the fact that the million dollars is now in circulation. On Other Hills Grapavev telegraph brings news of the proposal to require students to pay a fee of 25 dollars for every course in which they flunk. Whether this proposal embodies a good idea or not, it presents that it presents a remarkable one. The Starbeans quoted a Kansas Editor who said the baby-faced killers would be unable to steal any raccoon coats in Lawrence because if any man had one he would be out wearing it. But they're all wrong. Raccoon coats are very old-fashioned now and camel's hair coats have taken their place. The motive is obvious. Too many students do not take their education seriously and often think of it in terms of dollars and cents. Make them pay for poor scholastic work and they will have a tan. Students study lakes and studies lakes. Undoubtedly the plan would decrease the number of students who regularly fail one or more ONE FLUNK, TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS (The Daily Northwestern) There would be another by-product of this proposal, if it is carried out ... Students worried about the need to make sure they feel obliged to perfect new and better means of cribbing that venerable art would attain to heights unprecedented.

Our Contemporaries --three years in prison for allegedly participating in the transportation of a stolen plane. (Iola Daily Register) They were discussing television last night in an Iola cafe. The prospect of televising life up with the telephone was a challenge, death to privacy. But G. A. Ritter, 628 East Broadway, a student of art, literature, philosophy, Greek science, literature and math, at the University of Kansas from which he will receive his A. B. degree next June, found the silver lining. "At least we can solve the blind date problem," he said. Washington —(UP) — The airplane, after invading almost every spot on the globe, now promises to find its way into the United States supreme court. For the first time since the most modern of transportation methods has come into vogue that body has been asked to pass on a question involving Airplane May Find Way to U. S. Supreme Court The court is asked to decide whether the Dyer automobile theft act prohibits as a Federal offense, the transportation of stolen vehicles one state to another, passed to give the Federal Government a means of dealing with the automobile theft applie to stolen planes. The question is raised in the case of Galena, III., who was sentenced to K. O. KUERSTEINER, Director. It is not too late to make good resolution No. 1— Form the habit of eat- ing slowly. You will find it at THE CAFETERIA McBloy declares the Dyer act, defining motor vehicles as "an automobile truck, wagon, motorcycle or any other vehicle that is signed for running on rails" does not cover planes. He points out that there are many kinds of air traversing machine in the act. McBeyle was convicted in Oklahoma of having aided A. J. Lacey, a pilot in his employment, in removing the plane, stolen from Ottawa, to Galena and hace from Galena to Ottawa, to serve to serve a year in prison, was the chief witness against McBeyle.
