A SHORT CUT?
TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1930
News dispatches tell us that a young man of 21 went through an entire high school course in a year.
The fact seems to lend support to the arguments put forward by those who say that our high schools, and most other schools, aren't teaching enough to keep any ordinary student busy.
He who reads may take his choice of which way to run. It's a good subject to argue about; the professors discovered its possibilities quite a while back, and haven't settled yet.
It may be questioned whether either the students or the teachers will settle it in the end.
The Thoughtful Freshman says he believed the union station in Kansas City was congested the first time he came through there but that now after trying to get around in the Library around 8 to 15 p.m. he doesn't find it no bad.
SMOLDERING FIRES
Smoldering fires often burst into flames, destroy, and die down again. Such events to be the working theory of Kansas city gangland. Men have been tortured, even killed, for a purpose, and that purpose remains a thing of mystery except where it is the requirement of money and it is accomplished.
When a victim is released he seems to understand the part he is to play well enough to keep any information which he may have acquired to himself. Or perhaps there is another mystery. It took six days for the Katz affair to leak out, and then it came from underneath.
Perhaps it is more police facilities that are needed, perhaps not, but the affairs of Kansas City's gargail are of too much significance to pass unbeeded.
While a young man's fancy is turning to thoughts of love in the spring time, he may be wondering why the one he turned to last spring doesn't send the pin back.
THE YELLOWS IMPERILLED!
We note with great satisfaction the attitude taken by many American newspapers toward the famine that now is threatening eight million people in China. Most of the organs of public opinion mildly suggest that "something" be done about the situation, but they suggest no method by which this "something" might be accomplished. It is, then, to be inferred that the suggestion merely veil a static tyranny concerning the question. As good Americans we quite neree.
After all, what are the lives of eight million Chinamen? It has been noted that eight million people are more than dwell in the states of Kansas, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. As far as that is concerned, the populations of Colorado and the Dakotas might be added without greatly over-
stepping the total. But that is be-
side the point. Of course if the inhabitants of these American states were wiped out by fanfare, the result would be a national calamity. But with the Chinese we should worry.
China has four hundred million people. Surely the death of eight million wouldn't make much difference. Of course the eight million might be contrary enough to object to that kind of death, but then the nation is too crowded for any mandolin sentiment to result from such unnatural complaints. Besides, there would be more to eat for the people who are left.
At any rate, the matter is too trivial for us Americans to trouble ourselves with. We can do no more than make mold protests. We are too
The Sophisticated Sophomore says he never played golf in the rain but that he saw a lot of knickers on the rampus yesterday morning and he is wondering if he is missing something
According to a recent news dispatch, a New York woman is conceded the championship among joiners by the fact that she belongs to 27 clubs and organizations.
WHO'S OUR CHAMPION?
It's too bad University women weren't considered. They surely couldn't have been—what self-respecting woman student would consider herself really functioning in an extra-crane context? Is it the right, under her貌良 picture?
Joiners? Why. These club-women aren't at first base. That demurely vivacious little girl who borrowed your history notes the night before the quiz could probably show a record of accomplishment along that line. They're not scared to paint painters up New York way retire without a proctest.
But let's be fair. Before we uncover the champion woman joiner in K, U. we must admit that the men have some among them worthy of mention. If it's worth the trouble, we'll run down both champions. Oh, well. Who brought this no
Oh, well. Who brought this up, anyway?
HAVAHOBBY
Several students of Oread Training school have organized a Havahobby club. The members are to follow a definite hobby consistently, and at the end of a given time to show constructive results.
This is a good idea. Most hobbies are carried on more for personal pleasure than for any constructive purpose. It might be profitable if University students would follow the example and start a hobby club.
The majority of students on the Hill have some sort of hobby—dolls, or statuettes, books, odd bits of current poetry, and many other similar things. These might easily be turned into constructive projects, as well as merely giving pleasure.

still has a Junior Prom queen. She
is nominated by the sororites, each
of which has the privilege of nominating
one candidate when each member
of the sorority has sold a copy
of the Hatchet, the University's
yearbook. If each member of the
sorority has sold two Hatchets, then
the sorority may nominate two candidates.
Such a club might also interest other students in hobbies, and furnish them pleasant diversions.

A hitherto unnamed peak in the Sierra Nevada range, in Presbo county, Calif., was named Mount Merriam, in honor of Dr. C. Hurt Merriam, a graduate of the university on the classification and systematic distribution of animals, and well known also for his botanical studies. Standing 13,967 feet high at the end of the range, he is one of the most important for the entire surrounding country.
A peak a few miles distant from dount Merriam has been named dount Royce, in honor of the 1916. Born in alicata, Florida, Royce first became a geologist and naturalist, but later under his reputation not one of the leaders in the field.
A third natural monument named at the session of the Geographic Board is less than a mountain in size, but is actually a massive battle in the Umpqua National Forest in Oregon. It was mowed for Oscar and was rebuilt in 1928, until his death by drowning in 1928.

"Scholastic Deficiencies"
Editor, Daily Kansas
Campus Opinion
There are a lot of other causes rather than just a plain flunk-out. Out of these 10b one knows how many games he has played, many played, but it is too much to say he flunked out. No one ever got put out of school without feeling sick and hurt. If really tried to get through or who was on probation and failed to make a C average needs encouragement, that is pretty hard to get at time.
Headline: Dean's report shows 106 college students flunk last semester.
The student who played around and didn't care whether he made his
Pew people realize what a slap in the face this statement is to some. And then the story goes on to say "You are going to cause of "scholastic deficiencies". Well, if you're going to be nice, but that way, don't throw it in a student's face that he flunked out and then cover it up with the nice phrase "I'll stick with my job."
The dean's statement is above criticism; but it is unjust for The Kansan to throw 106 people into a group and say they all flunked.
The following budget conferences are scheduled for Wednesday, March 26; 9:00 English; 2:00 Journalism; 3:00 Speech and Trematic Art.

"She is more than a singer, she is an artist of the same rank as Sarah Bernhardt or Duse." - Hamburg Correspondent.
Dusolina Giannini, Soprano Thursday Evening, March 27th 8:20 o'clock
"One may search his memory for a long time before coming upon an equally exquisite voice or an equally great talent. A soprano voice, in youth and adulthood, is beautiful on her lips."
"Dusolinia Giannini is making musical history. Some day she be a tradition like Malibu and Lili Lehmann. She belongs with that almost legendary magnificence which surrounded the singers of a golden age." —Los Angeles Times

The Kansan made an unfortunate error in the advertisements of the three Lawrence taxi companies in last night's paper.
All three companies announced identical rates in Sunday's Kansan, and the same advertisements should have appeared Monday.
The advertisement of the Hunsinger Motor company should have read just the same as the advertisements of the other two companies. Instead an old advertisement quoting other prices was inserted.
The three advertisements are reprinted correctly below.
