TUESDAY, MARCH 19, 1929
Because of the Easter vacation, mid-semester grades will be due at the registrar's office one week from today (Tuesday), an earlier date than mid-semester usually comes. It is the custom as such a time approaches to export the students to harder work, to more conscientious codewriter in the class room, and to warn them concerning the evils of cutting classes and not making back work. It is only too true that these exhortations are always needed by some dilatory students.
MID-SEMESTER APPROACHES
But why should not something also be said to the professor who has thus far spent the time in the class room telling personal anecdotes, wise cracking, and telling stories irrelevant to the material of the course. There is the professor, too, who has spent much of the time so far delivering daily lectures on attendance and behailling the shortness of time in which the orientation of the course must be completed; he warns students concerning the final examination—the difficulty of his examinations has become a Hill legend, he tells them. And even now, as mid-season is almost here, the lectures of the course still lie misregarded.
Students are not to be blamed if they, in turn, become disgusted at the waste of time by professors who regard themselves as entertainers rather than teachers. There can be no excuse for not teaching the material of the courses which they are hired to teach.
FLAPPER VOTERS
London's "flapper voters," composed of young business women between the ages of twenty-one and thirty have formed a training school where they flock nightly in order that they may learn to vote intelligently. The assemblage is addressed on alternate Wednesdays by notable members of Parliament, political workers and other public men and women, and n other nights the young women meet to discuss politics and exchange views. Many of the "flappers" are becoming effective speakers and they in turn address women voters outside of London.
The London organization, which began last year when five and one-fourth million women less than thirty years of age were given suffrage, is similar to the League of Women Voters which has been formed in this country and at this University. Despite the fact that many people are opposed to women voting it must be recognized that they are in many instances learning how to vote intelligently. The scientific, orderly fashion in which women organize to study the issues at hand under the guidance of a capable instructor is in contrast with the helper-shelter method employed by many men who often vote at random or as the "boss" of the ward dictates. So far at least, women's organizations have aimed at informing women voters rather than controlling their votes. If voters
throughout the world, men as well as women, acquitted themselves with political issues before going to the polls, the passage of many unwise measures might be prevented.
BOORISH BOOERS
The stunts a2: the Karnival Satur day night might have been amusing to the audience if they could have been heard. The actors spoke loudly enough that under ordinary conditions their voices would have carried. Instead, they were drowned in the chorus of blissing and crowding about that came from the back of the room. One the sketch which had real scenes and artistic value and might have attracted favorable attention from a professional audience was booed by the student audience more loudly than any of the others.
In insufficient seating capacity was responsible for the crowding, but that did not excuse the absence of even the least trace of courtesy from the audience. There were no grounds to excuse the boorish, mob conduct which made enjoyment impossible for those who were seated and who otherwise might have enjoyed the stunts.
BOOMING HOOVER
With two weeks of work having been completed by President Hoover, the Kansas City Star jumps to the conclusion that we may have another "Teddy" Rosevehl as the executive head. The attitude of the administration toward the Mexican situation, Hoover's relations with the press, his suppression of oil leases to private concerns and his moves toward farm relief are given as examples of his "Roseveiltian touch."
At this time, it is neither a fair nor adequate criticism to compare Mr. Roever with former President Roscoe. It is merely an awkward manner of expressing an elated and enthusiastic approval toward an administration that is still riding on the wave of spirited public opinion. Such problems are merely duties that the executive meets with as before-breakfast exercises. The true test of leadership and ability will be reflected in the bigger problems — problems that require action, insight, justice, benigny and the ability to plan for the future.
Undoubtedly Mr. Hower is making a good start but such undeserved criticism will merely make his path more difficult. The public is already well impressed with his abilities and potentialities, perhaps too much so for his own good. Each move he makes will be weighted and sounded for unveiling criticism. A reaction needs only the stimulus of what the public believes to be a sidesteet from good policy.
It's easier to praise than to praee itie industry.

New German Warships With 12-Inch Guns May Be Vogue in Naval Fashion
London.—The new high-efficiency German warship the "Batzrats Preussen" class, whose appearance has caused a good deal of a huzz in European naval秩序, may force some radical changes in battleship and cruiser fashion. Medium-sized, fast ships armed with 12-inch guns, favorite carrier of pre-war days, may replace some of the huge flailing fortresses like the "Nelson" and the "Maryland," with their 16-inch armaments.
This possibility is discussed by the editor of The Engineer, a leading British technical publication. The German ships, with their 20-knot speed, can easily run away from any existing ship big enough to sink them, except for four big battle cruisers in the British navy and four in the Japanese.
--its bill covering that important subject is bold and comprehensive. It also includes a jury system, and does away entirely with class and group exemptions from jury.
"Inside Stuff"
Americanization of the word alum and its forms will have to be advocated by the Kraman team, if reporters cannot be taught the Latin ad quem et alum, in fc14, referred to in Friday's paper in an "alumun" of the University, is going to leave his signature as treasure of the University off of Inside!
An easy way to pass the buck would be to declare that the department of English should turn out better trained sophomores to be relied upon by students. It is not easy; no insider is just going to weep on the public shoulder and confess that sometimes the paper is unwieldy dug. For so far as the reader is concerned, it is easy to tell the teacher and not just a couple of poorly educated reporters and copywriters.
But back to the original topic: the way of reporters with Latin -not to mention English.

POINTING THE WAY TO BETTER HURIES
New York's state crime commission, known popularly as the Bammes commission, continues to do good work and to prepare intelligent drafts of needed laws. At present it is con-
dented that the commission or reformation of the jury system.
Chicago Daily News
Campus Opinion
Lawyers, physicians, ministers, educators, writers and others, under the terms of the new bill, will be required to earn a wage or work wages. Exemptions are to be personal and based on sufficient grounds. Talentmen will be accommodated no far as possible in regards time of performing jury service.
It is idea to talk about better juries and fewer miscarriages of justice and at the same time hope the abolition of double jeudges as a duty of important and intelligent classics of citizens. The Baumes commission has the right idea of jury duty in the New York bill embedding that idea. The measure should receive the approval of the New York beginnigrature and other judges. It also seems to be enclosed similar jury bills.

Editor Daily Kansan;
These are two comments on Mr. Garvey Bower's answer to his "deed" question in the letter. The "Barun's Example." Personally I would not use such names concerning the Barun family.
In order to speak constructively we must have a point of argument on which our minds mutually meet. If you were able to tell us about a friend, a family member you would see that he is talking directly to some of our inexperienced classmates, who are willing to take up anything in the field which work which seem profitable.
As to the companies he mentions, I happen to have been interviewed by a representative of a stock doctor in a freshman year so there is some excuse for my being so gullible. He started on in me when I was a freshman and in half an hour offered me a pen to sign a contract to go and sell books. Incidentally I think that he should have given me a pen for personally I do not know a thing about cows and their ailments to say nothing of the smaller animals about the
I may be more specific in regard to the aluminium company. I know two boys, good ones too, Mr. Bowers. They know what happened to one of them but perhaps he made too much money. However, I hold a note for $200 for him and I saw him in samples when I came back here last. Both boys had taken up this work as a means of coming back to the office. He told me to the deal cost him not only a $5 deposit as you say, but his deposit the amount I held against him, and I paid it.
**Other movies have plenty of cruisers fast enough to overtake the German ships, but the 12-inch gun such a preceding victory, such a preceding success. Therefore the Continental admirals, especially the French, are considered to meet this new type of construction with a "medium-sized battle-cruiser" of about 17,500 tons and an earlier model. Here were battle-cruisers of this general description in the British navy before and during the war, such as the cruiser with a Washington treaty.
1. When they get students with the ability to sell even if the articles are a little too high in price.
I do not wish to be too critical, Mr.
Bowers, for there are two sides to
every question. These companies
doleess do some good;
2. They give the student good experience in selling and provide money for the right ones.
The editor of the Engineer is even inclined to back the smaller caliber gun against the 15 and 16-inch ordinary army condition of sea fighting.
"We are often invited to consider the tremendous effect of a well-aimed alum from the 16-inch gums of the Nelson, each of the priors in the game," he comments. "Without doubt, a direct hit by one of these lewis-holmes would prove very destructive, but it would do more harm than it did to the opponent, or to their 13-inch shells? War experience suggests a negative answer. If that be so, a strong case can be made against the gun, which couldprobablyfire twice as rapidly as the 16-inch. In other words, a vessel trainee ten 12-inch guns on the broadside would be able, if fired at full speed, to cover the volume of fire but little inferior in weight to that of a vessel with nine 16-inch gums, and, other things being squat, the numerous gunpowers would be lost."
It is not expected that naval construction in the United States will be seriously affected by the new procedures. But we have always treated to mount the largest number of heavy-caliber guns compatible with efficiency in other directions. But the editor argues against following the American example in this way.
"There is good evidence that the American replacement ships planned for 1931 will be designed up to the Treasury maximum of 25,000 bale and
Gilbert Robles.
2. And hardy, if the student goes in debt, which harms all too often, it may be better to be more careful in dealings. If he suffers a little as a result whatunit does that matter? Suf
Hat bands of twenty Hollywood actors were found to be five-eights of an inch longer than the hat bands of twenty ordinary men, thus shattering a general impression. It has hereofore been supposed that the Hollywood look was more pronounced by a greater extent than the figures indicate. —Boston Transcript

mount ten 16-inch guns. The appearance of such mustard dockets would doublelift provide a strong, if appropriate, weapon for ships for the British navy. We hope, however that our unavailable directors will learn to use these machines themselves to be drawn into a tenage and gun-power competition which bears an air relation to British naval firepower.

Heard after the K, U, Karavaih "Such and such a stunner would have won the prize if it hadn't been too hard." He said he first seems to be getting the blame for everything. Personally we believe that the trouble with all or any part of the affair wasn't that it was too much, but rather that it was just too much.
Cultural note: A downtown music center announces the sale of several new instruments to a K. U. fraternity house. In this, the beginning of a new era at Kona.
A thought while watching the Storm afternoon motorcade. We wonder why he didn't go into the world so dumb that he cannot find another poor sap that umps enough to leave behind.
Simile for today; As today as a collegiate Ford crossing the car tracks at the intersection of Teeth street and Massachusetts.
Speaking of collegiate cars, we wish someone with nothing else to worry about would solve the problem of which is the earlier hamburger of spring, the arrival of the first car, or the river boat we can as a first Ford car, we mean the first Ford car. We think we saw it on the campus today.
And speaking of spring. We wish some kind teacher would form a kindergarten for children who are good for spring fever. We don't mean something to cure it, we want something
