A VISITOR IS ADVISED
"And now, little girl, remember all about this, because when you get to be a big girl and come to the University, your teachers will seme you over here to get things to write up for the paper." It was an official of the Dyce museum speaking to a youthful visitor about four years old, who had been gazing inweggedly at the strange exhibits there.
The official might have said more accurately that she would do well to remember this visit, because when she got to be a big girl and came to the University, she probably would never set foot in Dyche museum again unless her teachers sent her there to write up something for the paper. For unfortunately, not all students are sent to the museum by their teachers. And for that reason, most students pass the museum almost daily for four years blissfully unaware of the attraction there contained.
PREVENTION AND CORRECTION
It seems that college education is a bigoted expression of opinion by self-important personages.
The facts that three Bethel, Kan. farm boys, age 15, 13, and 20 years, are confessed murderers of a man for fifty cents, and that recent investigations have discovered some terrible conditions in the Missouri state reformatory for boys, prove that general conditions are encouraging crime among youth with criminal tendencies. Boys of 16 should be in school. To correct tax educational requirements there should be more stringent state laws regarding school attendance. If a boy commits an error and gets in a state institution, conditions should be such as to make good citizenship desirable and discourage crime. More money spent on the prevention of crime would save much spent on correction.
Is there any connection between the loafing of the law students on the front steps and the length of time it takes them to get their degree?
AND SO FEES ARE HIGH
Finances, or more correctly, lack of them, are of major student concern particularly at the time of fee payments. Why are fees so high? Why is it that fees probably will be higher and higher as years pass? Why should there be any fees at a University supported by the state? All these questions arise in the student mind as he considers the accompany ing question, "Where will I get th money?"
The reason for fees is, of course, that the legislature does not appropriate sufficient funds to operate the University on a proper basis. This proper basis includes fair salaries for faculty members and adequate equipment. Even with present fees, it takes little argument to show that University salaries do not compare too favorably with those of other schools. Equipment in many departments is adequate, but other departmenta suffer. In the face of this, there is no indication that future legislative appropriations will be larger. Sentiment over the state is against it.
Back of the whole situation is the fact that customs and attitudes are changing. The present day is a far
ry from the English tradition upon which the American college was founded, that higher educational institutions were places of training for young men who were destined to serve the community through their practice of the learned professions, the pulpit, the bar, the school, or medicine. Nowadays the average undergraduate in its college as a means of forwarding his own success in life. His interest is selfish, primarily. The legislature and the people behind it realize that fact, and conclude that he who is served should bear the cost.
An a solution to the problem of holding classes overtime we suggest that the professors set the tempo for their class lectures from the fastest of the musical tones which daily emanate from the Administration building.
NUMBER PLEASE
Fairly regularly for the past few days telephone operators have been commenting to impatient callers, "That number has been changed to—one moment please." Now, a number is not so much in the young lives of co-education, yet when on relinformation last week The Kanuran stated that many of the telephone numbers of fraternities and sororites on the Hill would be changed, a howl of protest rose to cause considerable confusion at the local telephone office, and the correction of he statement.
But at any rate, it is the expressed intention of the company to make a great many changes just now in phone numbers, apparently by necessity, due to a fluctuating population in Lawrence. Regrouping of lines and numbers is the result. Whether this is the only remedy remains for argument. At any rate such changes are causing plenty of confusion in the compilation of the student directory.
Even taking a conservative estimate, only 1,900 students live in organized houses whose numbers will not be changed; the other 2,500 live in private residences and are not listed in the telephone directory. To locate them one must rely on the student directory. If the directory eras, there is plenty of turnover. The directory is apt to erot if a great many telephone numbers are charged.
It must be recognized that some number changes are necessary at each new student period. The telephone company is doing what it thinks is best. However, these changes should be kept at a minimum, and as much as possible, should be made before the influx of students into Lawrence each September.
OUR WEB LECTURE COURSE
Continues The Kannan's bravely instituted lecture series started Sunday, the topic for today will be concerning that obnoxious type of student who, for no good reason, inclusion monopolizing all the recitation in class. Oh yes, he has a reason, but not a good one. He thinks he is making a good impression on the instructor. In colloquial brevity, he is "apple-polishing." He is doing all the talking. He must know a great deal. Perhaps the instructor thinks so. If he does, so much the worse.
He speaks long and authoritatively. The instructor is impressed with the dumness of the remainder of the class—perhaps he is. At least the remainder of the class imagines that he is. There is nothing more uncomfortable than to fail in a recitation and then to have some one else briskly, and perhaps a bit disaffiliate, exhibit an apparently voluminous knowledge of the matter. There is something of a consolation offered when the rest of the class falls with you. The verbose student who spoils this consolation is traveling the straightest road to unpopularity.
You all know him, or more rarely her. He is the high pressure sales man type of individual, who can talk much and say little. He is the one who always has an answer when every one else is suffering acute amnesia.
The only weak point in this lecture is that occasionally one finds an habitual reciter who habitually recites correctly, which makes the situation more uncomfortable than ever,

It Is no Easy Job to Classify the Senate's "Progressive" Republicans
K. O. KUERSTEINER, Director.
By CHARLES P. STEWART Central Press Staff Writer
Washington, D. C. — Who are the senate's "progressive" Republican? It never has been as easy a job as one might think to list them.
Finally the low tariff Democratatee Simmons, of North Carolina, appressed a plan.
Certain Republicans, like La Faro, Norris, Nye and a few others, have been fighting to secure a capital "F" this time, to denote that they belong, virtually, to a sect of the Republican Party.
This is because not very many seniors like to be progressive. Ask them, and a good manly one tells whom we would not have to be. Generally they back up their claims by reminding one of a progressive position or two that they have taken, respectively - running just

To testify the point—whether or not the industry distressed industries involved in the problem—is a pretty problem; inasmuch as not ever the highest of high tariff inflowers had the nerve to propose taking the industry's own word for it.

That it was a sorting out of especial interest is all that is emphasized herewith.
In parenthesis—be it understood. This classification should not be heeded in the past when we sleep and goats. Or, if it is an old fashioned, regular Republican would refer to the 27 as the sheep and the 30 as goat. Now, whereas a Pro Progressive would visualize the 21 as goat, well-mannered animals are more likely to represent the nouns of the earliest type.

Mr. Ellsworth Is Mostest Editor Daily Kansas:
I thank to the editorial writer who so kindly showed me with my book, and also with me, to appreciate the spirit in which it was written. I am afraid, however, that it may have the impression that the author is responsible for inclusion of the Union in the University of Kansas Stadium, a sponsible for inclusion of a good result, but as a matter of fact, I was just a poor student when the whole thujon started and didn't ever understand what it was. I fored out later than what I saw in the Kaneton. The faculty and students being training to the campaign picture the Union as a front central meeting place for the University where sites were needed, we might need one on common grounds.
It is growing up to be that. It will be an important factor in the future of our country, and it is finished students will say, 'How did they ever get along without it?' It is damnperm to give any one more chance. You can't United. You can say but that the girl
women sold here jewelry in order to contribute to the fund, or that others who made real sacrifices that the women gave to the glory and usefulness of K. U., who can say but that they did more than some of an laquacious cuses
Yours for the success of K. U. and her Union.
Fred Ellsworth.

The Kappa Eta Kappa boys are lazy putting up alfalfa on the hay field weed with the hoe. The yield is light as is generally the case with the last crop before frost.
