THE CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL
The University campus during the past few weeks has been donning the clothes which a well-dressed campus should wear in springtime. The trees in their green finery, the gorgeous tulip beds, and the occasional strip of pure green turf should be a source of pride to any university.
But it seems a pity that the natural beauty of the turf should be marred by countless dandelions and far too many bare strips of hard earth. Perhaps the removal of the dandelions is not directly a student obligation, but students are responsible for the hard earthen paths which are stretched so indiscriminately about the campus.
If a small boy with unwashed ears and the man with unplowed shoes cannot be in good taste, no matter how correct their clothes, neither can a campus be truly beautiful in all nature's glory, when men have trod thoughtlessly across it.
ON NAVAL PARLEYS
One lesson to be learned from the London naval disarmament conference and from naval conferences in general is the necessity for holding such parallels more frequently. It is impossible to cope with the intricacies of the naval situation when the nations allow eight years to elapse between efforts to solve the problems which arise.
The developments of science are moving at such a rapid pace at the present time that the ratios established by any conference are likely within a few years to apply only to use-less and obsolete methods of warfare. Yearly conferences would enable nations to cope with the problem of an equitable distribution of new and deadly instruments of war as they come into common use.
But besides the necessity of coping with the visible means of warfare as they menace the peace of the world, there is the far greater necessity of developing a peace consciousness throughout the world. Intense nationalism is almost certain to become strongest when nations are left to themselves for a decade without an opportunity to further the cause of disarmament. Nations will only learn to think in terms of peace when they meet around the conference table frequently to discuss their problems and get on a common basis with regard to the question of disarmment.
SUMMER CONTACTS
Each summer a group of men and women from the University of Kansas leave for Colorado to attend the Estes Park Conference. To this conference come other men and women from all the states included in the Rocky Mountain region, meeting together for 10 days of intensive activity. At the end of these days the group disbands and the individual students scatter to their homes and later to their own schools.
While at Estes Park they discuss every form of academic problems that are commonly met by students. But discussions will be but one part of the conference program. Speakers of national and world-wide experience
will be there to give to the student the results of many investigations in economic and social fields. Some of the outstanding leaders will be Kirby Page, editor of the "World To-morrow," who will discuss international life; Henry P. Van Dusen, on Union Theological Seminary, New York, and Powers Hapegood, well known industrial worker.
These leaders open to the college mind the facts of present conditions, the movements that are going forward and the meanings of these changes to society.
It is not guaranteed to the student who takes the trip to Exeter that he will become an advanced thinker with a keen mind, but the student who does take the trip usually comes back with new slants on life to consider during the following months, and usually leaves behind him prejudices that have been loading him down.
This kind of enterprise for students is far reaching in its come-
GOOD WORK
It's great to go down for a few games of tennis and find the courtn marked off with good straight chalk lines. Such has been the case most of the time the past week. The courts for the most part have been marked excellently. But a few of the courts have been neglected. Others have not had the markings made regularly.
It is an expense to mark off the courts and the more often they are marked off the more expense there will be but with the present popularity of tennis on the Hill some provision should be made whereby all courts will be marked off regularly.
INCOMPETENCY?
The overcrowded, unanticipated conditions that seem to prevail in nearly all of the large prisoners in this country, have during the recent riots, occupied a large place in American public thought. The holocaust disaster at the Ohio penitentiary this week has given the matter even more tragic importance. And now comes a revelation and an accusation, with relation to the Ohio catastrophe, that seems to prove the neediness of such a enclivity, in one case at least. When charged by the Columbus fire chief that no fire precautions had been taken at the institution, the warden of the Ohio prison admitted the fact, and stated that he depended entirely upon Columbus fire companies. The fire-chief countered that, with proper precautions, the lives of the 318 pri-
precautions, the lives of the 318 prisoners who were roasted to death, all "would have been saved.
Of course it is not difficult, after such a crisis as this, for one man to accuse another of having been responsible for the disaster. But when an institution containing 4,200 inmates is entirely dependent upon outside aid in case of fire, it seems apparent that the management has been lacking in discretion. Such a conclusion seems all the more probable when it is learned that the alarm was sent in from a box outside of the prison. Perhaps, then, it would be a mistake to investigate the direct management of prisons, as well as their overrowed conditions.
Down an icy trail to his death, and the great leader of many years' standing was gone. Where Chinook, one of the Eskimo kiksmo of Byrd's expedition went, no one can explain, but no doubt he is today enjoying the sunny clime of his little dog heaven. He was a faithful pal and friend during his life, but he knew when his work was done and left. During his best years he caused no trouble, and it almost seemed that he realized that old age was upon him and that to live would have been a burden both to his master and to himself.
CHINOOK
How different Chinook was, compared to humans. Man dreads the passing of years, for as they pass, he too, must somewhat relinquish his leadership to younger men. Old age seems to come so soon, but man, being human, cannot leave this world at its defeat by others. Because he is human, love and care are bestowed upon him to lengthen life. But again, because he is human, he may make his life worth while until nature brings the end.
MUSIC WEEK
From May 4 until May 10 the University will hold a festival that will be of interest not only to those students of the fine arts but to all kowns of those various arts. The campus will find itself host to three outstanding artist guest whose programs will be supplemented by those of local musical talent. This is the one week of the year when music, always a feature of the University, reigns supreme.
The Middle-West has not yet grown so musical that the people of the locality are over-fed. There are yet a few starved ones who will always喇 to a voice such as Tibbett's and will love Syvla Lent, the young concert violinist. For those who are musically inclined, these concert artists will be the embodiment of hope, and for those who scarcely know one note from another, the festival music will release pent-up emotions.
THE LAST PARTY
The University is fortunate that this annual week, featuring the young American artists, will show the conquests of youth in the world of music. Then, too, not only will the public hear these well-known youthful artists, but it will be introduced to the gifts of its own students of mu-
A garden of rainbow hues, the haunting strains of soft melodies and the gliding of endless numbers of feet in waitresses, fox-trotts, and one-steps. But at the chine of one and the last notes of "Home Sweet Home" the dancers in noisy swisterness disappear. Once again the large hall is held by sudden quiet. The social season of the University has reached its climax—the senior cakewalk is a thing if the nest.
Each year, until it has become a tradition, the cakewalk has been the last social milestone along the academic path of the seniors. It is the University's farewell to its oldest undergraduates. While other students enjoy the cakewalk as merely another dance, the senior's heart felt a little sad. Perhaps he is glad to leave his lessons, but his social life is another matter.
Another school party and he will be an alumnus!
Three hundred students at Wisconsin plan to live in tents during the summer session, we read. It's a new practice that will never become popular. Try and imagine the new EAI pledge remarking loudly and casually. "See you down at the Tent, Joe."
"And even they go away and leave you."—Arthur T. Walden, chid dog giver of the Byd expedition of the lonesomeness of the Antarctica.

How can we improve it?
"How can we make it better?" is the constant cry of manufacturers of advertised merchandise Why?
It might well be pride in the product that bears their good name. Often it is. But not always.
It's just good, hard-headed business, mostly. The improvement of a product that is already considered satisfactory makes that product play a more definite part in the life of the user. It wins and holds an added loyalty, and, of course, added business.
Products which are advertised are being studied continuously by their makers in order that they may be more and more useful and helpful to you in your daily life.
Isn't that the sort of merchandise you want? It's all presented in a straightforward, honest way in the advertisements, day after day. Read them for economy's sake!
