JOHN STUDENT IN COLLEGE
John Student entered the University as a freshman. The first three professors who met his first three classes started out by tell him, first, that he was not a University student and able to shoulder his own responsibilities; second, that the grading system was divided for the sake of the student; third, that the utmost fairness would be exercised in the assignment of work and in the giving of quizzes, fourth, that what the student got out of a course was more important than the grade he received in it, and fifth, that he did not receive late papers. John gained a confused impression that he was to be treated as a man and allowed to run his own affairs and that he was bound by a number of formalities and a great deal of real tape.
After the mid-semester commissions John had a serious talk with his adviser and gained some new ideas. Grades were not chiefly for the benefit of the student, but the University stock a great interest in them; there are many points of view as to what fairness in the matter of examination questions is; the idea that the knowledge gained was more important than the grade was not generally held and cheating was a not infrequent refutation of this view.
These were the first steps in the evolution of a crcriber.
John received very mediate grades for the first semester, while some of the proficient "cribler" in his classes ranked high. Little had been said on the subject by his professors, who usually preferred stationing guards about the examination room to trusting in the honor system.
PLEASURE IN POSSESSION
A Chicago woman who had not worn her jewels out this winter, for fear of robbers, put them on recently before calling on a friend, and a bandit rolled her of the gems and a mink coat, the total value of which was 818,350.
The possession of beautiful and costly objects should be a pleasure to the possessor. If such pleasure is absent, of what use are they? Surely, living in constant worry and fear cannot bring the satisfaction which makes for happiness. Fearing to wear or use beautiful things because they may be stolen, persons put them in the safe and deny themselves the joy which these things should bring. That, after all, is the ultimate reason of their being.
It would seem that to own less and to discriminate in ownership is the only solution to such a problem, if persons are to live without fear. To own things that one can use freely and gain the fullest amount of pleasure in that freedom is the only sensible way. The mere fact of ownership itself, with the valuables immurred in the safe, is not enough.
A JOB FOR COOLIDGE
William Howard Taft, chief justice of the supreme court of the United States may retire from his position, if he takes advantage of the new provisions to retire after an aggregate service of ten years on the bench with full pay. Mr. Taft had eight years' service from 1820 to 1900
on the United States circuit court bench of the sixth circuit. He has served since June 20, 1921, as chief justice of the supreme court. In some places it is thought that Chief Justice Taft might elect to retire before he reaches 74, which would be made possible by the new law, although it was said he would not take advantage of the new law to retire immediately. Should this prove the case, Herbert Hoover would have the appointing of a new chief justice, and the interesting question would be involved whether President Coolidge might follow in the footsteps of former President Taft and conclude his career on the supreme court. After almost eight years as president of the United States Mr. Coolidge should have plenty of experience in the ways of government, and he would be likely to be more broadminded than someone who had no connections with the official routine of the United States.
HOOVER'S BIG TASK
One of Herbert Hoover's big tasks is that of enforcing the prohibition law in Washington. Some go so far as to predict that soon after inauguration there will be a presidential ect against drinking on the part of any governmental official responsible to the conditions. Conditions are such in Washington now that Hoover would be justified in adopting every means available to enforce the prohibition law. Officials, and Washington in general should set the example for the nation in law and order. If makers and enforcers of the law fail to obey the law, why should the average citizen be expected to.
An under cover investigation by trained men of the national united committee for law enforcement a list of 312 places in Washington where the prohibition law is violated continually. Beer, alcohol and whiskey were being sold by the drink or bottle. This is ample evidence that the new administration will not have to hunt long for a place to start work. The nation's capital should set the example in law enforcement, but with conditions in Washington as stated above, the capital is far from setting a very high standard.
A SHOT AT JACK
What a hard-hearted, cypical, suspicious, skeptical world it is! Now the newspaper boys are beginning to make shattering remarks about the incident in which an alleged intruder fired an alleged bullet at one, Mr. William Harrison "Jack" Dempsey. They are meanly insulting that Mr. Dempsey may have arranged the little event for the purpose of gaining more space in the papers. They are even no harsh in the judgments as to suggest that the exhibit in the phaser of Mr. Dempsey's room may have been made with a chiseh. It is to weep at man's distress of man.
The newspaper boys, moreover, are not the only ones who have expressed serious doubts as to the authenticity of the story. Most of the readers of the paper felt the same way about it. If it had been someone else, it might have been believed, but with Promoter Dempsey engaging in other attempts to gain prominence, it is only natural that he should be suspected. The only trouble with Mr. Dempsey is that he has gone a little too far in his efforts for publicity. His imagination has run out. His stunts to attract attention are becoming too obvious.

Lava Fountains 200 Feet High Spectacle of Kilauea Eruption
Volcano House, Hawaii—Vast fountains of lava, spurting to heights of 200 feet, marked the spectacular opening phase of the eruption of Kilauea which began on Wednesday, Feb. 20, shortly after midnight. They rose from a long crank on the floor of Haleakala Mountain. In twelve hours they filled up the pit with a lava lake 60 feet deep, above the lava flow. The lava slowly cooled and steadily at the rate of four feet an hour. The lake soon reached dimensions of 1500 by 1000 feet.
Grottes, rumpants and cones formed grateously above the boiling lava, and the great jets throw off liquid drops that drifted down the wind and "froze" as they fell. At first this debris took the form of pumice. Later it cooled to the point where its surface melted, and covered wounded globs. Where the wind pulled the edges of the waves of

WELCOME LABOR NOW!
Congress should take immediate action to relieve labor of the hard work now imposed on it by injunctions. Both parties pledged themselves to take such action in the national plant. The Republic is the Republican platform declared.
The Democratic platform asserted injunctions should not be granted in legal disputes except upon proof of threatened irreparable injury, and at least when there is a present purpose of representatives of capital, labor and the bar to device a plan for the elimination of the present evil with respect to injunctions that must be supported and legislation denied. There are cases end for-mulated and passed."
"We believe that injunctions in labor disputes have in some instances been abused and have given rise to a serious question for legislation."
With both parties in agreement that legislation should be considered to prevent the further abuse of influence, Congress has no reason for Congress to delay action until the next Administration. Let the relief from oppression by injunctions take effect.

Mr. Heover's modest limitations placed upon the event have been exposed. Such limitations nearly all of Mr. Heover's work will be said for these spectacles that mark the end of one administration and the beginning of another. They may be called the "unexpected" clubs and their evaulcades of governors and "important people," but they are also "unexpected" parties. They add a little color and drama to our sometimes drab political life.

PROGRESS IN "IL"
Since there is little probability that people will abandon the time-enhanced use of urins, and since it may be difficult to develop to the point of furnishing an adequate supply for the markets, and for the further reason that a good market for urine can possibly be treated as industrial pests, the latest appeal of the AntiSteel Tramp league strikes us as both practical and free from sentimentality.
It takes the form of an offer of prizes to stimulate the invention of new football balls. There are said to be a few on the market which are commendable in their purpose but do not quite fit the needs of trapped animals to escape. Revival of interest in muskrat catching in the region embraced in the original Oral Roberts University is unlikely that other animals would become menaces if not held down to a reasonable minimum, makes the prize more attractive. The subject not only draws attention to the plims of the league but sugars an opportunity for volunteers.
It is curious that a world which has advanced in nearly every other mechanical particular should still be unable to perform its intentions and purposes have not been improved on since the first trapper invaded the earth. The steel trap does not fit into the scheme of humane endeavor which has immeasurably improved the lot domestic and man-made animals can essentially practiced it is agreed that discovery obk a substitute for the present trap is indispensable to the correction of an admitted above.

This pit, the centroid of the valley, is always through the years and the safety valve of the volcano, in a great hole in the southwest.

It is expected that the present intense activity of Kilana will continue for several weeks at least.
Klimaan Wroks
Klimaan Wroks is a regular cycle of activity according to the stuates of the late Pref. James D. Diana, one of the first to determine the unique features of the Hawaiian volcanoes. She then studied the eruption and consequently raising its floor. This phase was reported during the past few months, culminating in Dr. T. A. Jagger's promptly fulfilled forecast of an eruption in June.

"11," we should explain, is the recognized term to describe all extents at international language of which English is a common exemplar. Efforts have been made to carry the Esperanto idea some steps still further by simplification and standardization that have been discovered in practice, including a speech called "Idea." That name is itself the Esperanto for it and thus gives credit for its derivation.
A real impetus to this demand for an universal speech has, as Mr. Merlott and others have suggested, broadcasting. By an "II," alone it is possible for programs in Europe to reach across the many frontiers on which there are so many that of closely linked continent. And this need already is being met by a great number of those that are broadcasting in Español.

There are two types of volcanoes, Kilauea, which is quiet in action, is quite different from the chilese active volcano, La Palma, typical. The recorded history of Kilauea begins with the visit of a company of missionaries to the island of Hawaii, and it has been on eruption an strong of about every eight or nine years.

"I *Biology easier than Philosophy*," we bear. Or "Is one sure to get through if they take English?" We say, "Have you got to work for Professor Whitshainese?" Such are the questions asked all too often in the library, in the smokngroom, in the classroom. And we come to it. Lowbrows, morons, bakers, do-not-mothers, slackers, followers-of-the-line-of-least- resistance. And yet they call this a University degree. They go and in for "gliber度" learning.
There is an element in our University that forever strives to avoid work, not by finding an easier way, but by finding tasks which require less work for their completion. In other words, there is a demand for "wear" work.
How can we keep them out? How can we keep this type from developing? How can we stimulate them from developing? Medicine they need is what is technically known as a good swift kick properly located so as to give the greatest satisfaction to the booster and to reduce the pain, but can't be. They should be thrown out, but take the easy courses and liners in on death of the upper arm, and then we can keep this class of "student" from developing? Here we can do something. Kill the "snap courses". Put the fear of God and the Professors back into school and put to pat his self-reliance to the wheel. Show him he is here to make
