There just have to b bipiences, and dates too, with the "b boy friend," for you won't see him again for three whole months, maybe. Finals—Everyone dreads to think of them—and it takes so much time to prepare for them when you haven't studied all semester. Just think—maybe you won't get to see that show because there are finals next day. Nowadays are so many meetings to go to and so many lectures to attend, that it is hard to study, much less prepare for finals. And you can't miss a meeting. They're always as important. Finals—Why have them anyway? Just think how much time there'd be for other things. THOUGHTLESSNESS No wonder some students get discouraged after reading about Bh Rogers and his new "contract." Have you ever been planning a picnic and then it had to rain so hard that you couldn't possibly go and have any fun? Everyone knows the feeling. It is one of disappointment, with maybe a touch of the blues afterwards. You even think that nothing could be worse. But there is something worse than no picnic at all, and that is getting to a lovely picnic ground, all set for a wonderful time, and finding it streamed with the romms of the picnic or picnies, just preceding it. There is that same feeling of disappointment with an added feeling of disgust. But in either case, the picnic is spoiled for the time being. The person who stresses papers, banana peels, or other trash around public picnic grounds is overstepping his social privileges and is showing either his selfish disposition and his self-centered character which has not a thought of his fellow beings, or else he is just plain thoughtless. Probably the latter classification is the proper one, but that does not excuse him. If early training has not made a person aware of the rights of others before he reaches maturity, then he should learn it himself after he sees or has pointed out to him, his thoughtless actions. The Sophisticated Sophomore says he has found his ideal girl, but she is not nearly so interesting as the one he has been dating. PROHIBITION IN THE AIR Sunday above Long Island City, N.Y., a drunken passenger battled with an airplane in an attempt to get control of the stick. Four other passengers were horror stricken. Fortunately the pilot was able to ward off the attack of his drunken passenger and bring the plane to a safe landing. It is such incidents as this that make the prohibition movement a crusade for safety. If only the drunken suffered from his actions, prohibition would be only a moral cause, but with machinery about us precautions must be taken to insure their safe operations. The slightest wavering from attention may mean tragic. What could be more tragic than the situation of airplane passengers at the mercy of an intolerated pilot? Prohibition has had more than OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN Vol. XXVII Monday, May 12, 1930 No. 178 All members of the K. U. Symphony and the K. U.

This brief line appearing in the Theater Arts magazine for January, 1921 marks the end of a twenty-year struggle for achievement by the greatest theater artist of the century. John Gilpin. Greatest Colored Player in Last Quarter Century, Succumbs Before Talkies Come One one sees to know just which way to turn, and according to press dispatches, "The majority of Republic-landers are going quiet on the subject." We shall soon Charles Gilpin had played many minor roles in shows on the road. He was a moleworthy production came in 1820 when he appeared in *Curtis* at London. Curtis in *Curtis* at London ANOTHER APPOINTEE The appointment of Owen J. Roberts to the supreme court bench will be taken up by the senate judiciary committee, shortly. As in the case of Parker, there seems to be one big issue. This time it is prohibition. There has been no direct opposition filed as yet, but the question of whether he is wet or dry, seems to be uppermost in the minds of the senator. years' trial in this country now. Its workings and shortcomings are fairly well known by those who want to study the situation without bias. As in everything else, those, who start with preconceived notions generally make of it what they want, but the impartial observer, weighing all elements in their true light, cannot but agree that prohibition is necessary to insure the rights of others. Drink affects more than the drinker today. All in all, each section has its good points and changes from other years which were made for improvement. The 1350 Jayhawker ought to win the national recognition this year that its predecessors have won. see what the committee digs up about him. The campus question is, resolved: That "invited" guests are uninvited when they are not invited. THE 1930 JAYHAWKER The Jayhawkker is out. An a general thing and faculty feel that the volume this year is a worthy successor to those of other years. The Kansas high school leaders' page is an innovation; the absence of the K. of A. award probably deprived some of the hoped-for recognition, but they may be recomputed elsewhere. The guillotine seems to have rewarded most of the aspirants for long eared nobility. The new cover design, modernistic in effect, gives a tone not altogether unpleasing to the eye. The research section, more complete this year than before, adds a touch of classroom and laboratory atmosphere that is entirely in line with the spirit of a college yearbook. nearly approval from the critics that his mastery of the art of acting could no longer be denied. In 1921 when the Provincetown Players decided to produce *O'Neill* "Emperor Jones", Gilpin was chosen to impersonate the chief character. "In the Emperor Jones," said the Theatrical Arts magazine, "Glimp shows a story from ancient times in imagination, in addition to his fine voice, but he displays an extraordinary skill." "It is a genuine imperfection, a human desire and blood and brain utterly different. I am not going to work. He carries the long soliloquy of the six scenes in the forest with exclamation, building up steadily from his fright, until he falls less Fours, through his terror at the recurring visions of his crises, to the dim, buried, racial fears rise to carry him back to the auction block, the ship, and the voodoo gods of the Congo. Mr. Gilpin's performance is the crown to a play that opens up the intricacies of race and beauty and builds beauty and emotion out of the spiritual realities of one corner "He was of a nervous temperament, deeply serious about his work and made him laugh." He made him humourless and bitter. All of his life he fought against drink andenabled his tour with "Emperor Jones". For him to do it, the talks had not come into being. Discouraged, bitter, insulting, he oldenced his best of him." Following a year's run of the play in New York, the Gilpin player went on tour with the company to Lawrence in 1923. When the company returned to New York, Gilpin could be expected to play there. "Gilpin was bitter towards life," says Prof. Allen Craft, "He struggled for twenty years to get his big chance and when it came, proved equal to the challenge to do three years on the heights he found himself with out a worthwhile role."

Plumbing, Wiring and Frigidaire 916 Miles Predictions Made on Mathematical Combination of Temperature Readings and Rainfall Washington-Pickle weather and the weevil have been made to tell us that they actually do not exactly how much cotton will be harvested in the United States during the winter. Just how these predictions can be made based on the weather reports of a local observer, the cotton bell, was made public for the first time by J. B. Kiner, chief of meteorology at the U. S. Weather Bureau, at the meeting of the American Meteorological Society. The method which Mr. Kiser and his associates, W. A. Mattice and Miasi 3. B. Dichl, have worked out during he past two years will give cotton Indge Suggests Divorce Cure --growers, buyers, and investors accurate information on production far in advance of the harvest, and should not produce significantly. Calculations have been made of estimated and actual production since 1974 with an accuracy of approximately 97 per cent. Theft-Proof Applic Brookings, D.D.-(UP) -Theft-proof apples is the highest goal of horticultural education. The state bursary department at the state college believes that he has achieved an apple which small boys were later tasted. He is intended to be used for making jelly. Its bitter taste will deter nornalure apple-attaining attempts. Doctor Hansen El Paso, Tex. — (UP) — Judge Ballard Goldwell of the 34th court判事 believes there would be harm to the couple before marriage. "Follo too often do not enter into marriage with the thoughtful Judge Goldwell," said Judge Goldwell said. "They meet, fall in love and rush into marriage because they are actuaries of the person they marry."

Whist Tourney in Minneapolis Righest Candidate Harrisburg, Pa. — (UP) — Webster Garfield Wrew, candidate for the Republican nomination for the U. S. Senate, asserts he is a "big man" in Penna County, Drew, weighs six pounds; he is six feet and wears a size 19 collar. Indianaapolis, Iod—(UP) —A young woman census worker asked Robert Scaler the birthplace of his wife. "I don't know," he mean what state, the enumerator amplified. "The state of New Hampshire," he said. "Yes, that is in Massachusetts, isn't it?" New Hampshire? Oh Yes! A Paying Investment —A course in the Lawrence Business College—A school doing well what it attempts to do. For the humper crop year of 1926 the actual production was almost exactly the same as predicted. In 1921, the humper crop yield was about one per cent, the largest of the 20-year period, was made. For 1928 the production was less than the actual production. To make the calculations, Mr. Kincer used weather information such as amount of rainfall number of rainy days, relative humidity, amount of sunshine hours, amount of precipitation temperatures. Weevil damage is estimated from the weather of the preceding summer, which determines the amount of snowfall the winter; from the severity of the winter, because many might be killed by the cold; and from growing season weather, as dry weather keeps trees healthy, and wet weather increases his family. From this information a weevil index is worked out by mathematical relational reasoning and yields the field relation for the final result. The predictions can be made for each state of the system. This is the first study of cotton prediction for the cotton belt as a whole, and this study can be used to effect it, is said. Details of the method are to be published in technical journals.
