WEDNESDAY, MAY 23, 1928 THE OLD STORY In Hamburg, Germany a tank of poisonous gas — phosgene — explodes It rolls over the city, killing all life animals, falls, firemen heroically fight against its fumes, finally it is dispaelled, but fifty or so are dead and many more may die. In Pennsylvania there is an explosion in a mine. The long line of nuxious families wait throughout the night, the rescuers risk their lives in a fruitless endeavor to save the miners in the bowels of the earth. Eighty two dead are recovered, 115 more are almost certainly dead on the other side of a wall of fire and gas. Big black headlines carry the story of the Hamburg disaster in nearly every paper in the country. Not only for the first day, but for two, three, perhaps it will be even more days, does the story receive feature value. The mine dimmer does perhaps a top-head story on an inside page the first day, a small story on the front page for the next two. Suppression of news? That is what the professional friend of the workman would say: "Capitalistic domination of the press." But that would not tell the story. The mine disaster is of frequent occurrence. The poison gas disaster happens perhaps but once, certainly infrequently. One is quite as horrible at the other, both are the result of carelessness, in all probability, yet the one gets triple the publicity, why? The public gets just about what it wants, and it wants new experiences, even though obtained viciously through the press. THE GATES OF HEAVEN Back in the good old days the weather prophets used to say: "As the days begin to lengthen the cold begins to strengthen." Nowadays as the days begin to lengthen the skirts begin to shorten. "Unless ye he even as a little child," much—we the works used to describe those who would surely enter into the kingdom of heaven. In front of Green hall there daily congregates a group of candidates for this honor, that of entering into the kingdom, who have must surely qualified, and daily they stand upon their steps of the domicile, lifting their voices to their future home, giving proof of their surpassing eligibility. Vain maidens strut proud past their swain by their side, hoping that he will take the hint offered in unmusical version by the strains of the wedding march. Bashful maidens blush and sigh, suffering the shouted greeting in pained silence, with low-eyed head and hurried step. Digitised faculty members frown in toplett abstraction at these evidences of infancy in those who seek to gain judicial eminence under their tutelage. Boys will be boys, and lawn will be children. "Open wide, ye gates, and let the laws come in." Some of the persons who still think aviation is dangerous remind us of the grandmother who believed automobiles were dangerous because she once had ridden with her collegiate grandson in his collegiate Ford. A four-wheels-and-no-branks fliver is a good deal like an unlicensed airplane. THIS FALLACY OF DE- MOCRACY The sadest time of the year is at mid. The agonies of quiz week will be followed closely by the tears of parting and capping the climax will be the return to the old home town. Not that there's anything necessarily tragic about our various home towns; far from it. But people in them are going to fail sadly to realize our importance in this world and are likely, indeed, to regard us simply as a later edition of that freaked-faced Jones boy that used to work in the corner greenery or play in the back lot. The fact that we were initiated into Alpha Alpha Alpha this spring and that we rate one of the hottest dates on the Hill is going to be pretty much upon the home folks. Worst of all, they probably won't even recognize that our clothes reflect the smallest and newest lines found anywhere. They are going to go right ahead, all these old acquaintances are, regarding us as just about their equals and refusing to stand in aid of Napoleon junior, or Marie Antoine the second. Moreover, there's practically nothing that can be done about it. Sbubling them has awfully little effect beyond giving an opportunity for them to classify as aptly as smoke. Now if things were just the same as they are down at the University, throwing the cicles of indifference in the direction of a former close acquaintance would at least have the effect of winning the approval of one's little circle, and usually the receiver of the sub would be duly wounded and improved by our importance. But these dumb people at home! Eight hundred and seventy-five students this year. That's news. The number of jobs awaiting them—Shi-That's not news. DON'T FORGET TO REGISTER A number of students of the University will vote next fall for the first time in the general election and cast their halffors to the chief executive of the United States. The Kansas law requires that voters living in first and second class cities register before voting, unless they voted in the last previous election. Registration is not required of those living in third class cities and rural precincts. The majority of students cannot cast their votes in Lawrence as they must vote at their legal residence. The legal residence of most students is the home town. The Kansas law is that students attending attendees of learning cannot declare their legal residence at the place where the institution is located unless they give up their legal residence at home. Most K. U. students have not done that. A few married students and a few others who live legally in Lawrence will be the only ones to vote here and therefore the only ones who need to register here. Others will vote on their home ballot and send it through the mail to their home town. These ballots will be sent to the students upon request from the city clerk, and are then to be mailed to the county clerk after the votes are cast. Those living in Lawrence must have had residence in the state six months and in the township in which they live, at least thirty days. The registration books in all cities are open for registration from January 1 to July 23. They are opened again following primaries until late in October. If in doubt about registration it is suggested that students should talk with the city clerk while home this summer. Voters should register while home this summer for upon returning to school next fall, few will have a chance to return home and registration must take place at the legal residence. A special booth will be occupied at the Lawrence polls by the political science department at the time of election next fall, so students may get all information needed in regard to voting, but there will be no value in it unless those desiring to vote, have registered beforehand. No candidates for degrees can be recommended to the Board of Regents without notice to the registrar from the bursar's office that the commencement fee of $10.00 has been paid. To insure a degree, candidates must pay this fee immediately.

NOTICE TO SENIORS] STAND BY FOR INSPECTION Students able to meet the requirements for the University teacher's diploma, listed on page 6 of the general course catalog. (CORRECTION: MARGE O. FOSTER, Registrar) W. S. JOHNSON, Chairman Department of English No, this is not a dissertation on the relative means of curricular and extra curricular work. Neither is it a review of the events of 1927-28. It just a rumble and jumble of passing fancies, as the year draws to a close. DAMMIT. ETC. Fifteen hundred bankers, the group which Mr. Upton Sinclair would have as believe the most influential in the state, will convene at the University Thursday for their forty-fifth annual convention. Whether Mr. Sinclair is right or not, no state University can afford to neglect the opinions of fifteen hundred citizens; and between discussions of financial policies and bookkeeping methods, these holders of the state's price strings are going to make some careful observations of this free million dollar plant they are helping maintain. Dammit, the architects' squirrel, grows. Ted Shultz is to remain an Y. M. C. A. secretary, K. U. becomes one of the "Big Six." The Pachacamaca win an election. Two prominent faculty members are lost by death. "You Tell 'Em, Sam" is presented; and so is Professor Skilton's new oratory, "The Guardian Angel." Such is the warp and wool of college life outside of classes. No effort has been made in the direction of a big house-cleaning in preparation for the inspection, there is no need of it, and it would be messy anyway. But this is a quite appropriate time to take a brief inventory of our year from the standpoint of our outlier. On other scores, our visitors will undoubtedly find the University purveyance. They see us at our most serious period—thanks to the finals. Our other accomplishments have been recounted too often to be repeated here. We feel assured that too busy though students may be, they will not forget K. U, hospitality at every occasion. To the banker, financial stability is of paramount importance. On this, our secrety, varies greatly with individuals, but universities everywhere are noted for the careless financial habits of their students, K, U, is no exception, though assuredly no worse than the average. The extra cost due to handling these checks eventually falls back upon the whole student body for payment, just as does the discredit for them. No better resolve for next year could be made than that of careful handling of one's own funds and encouraging others to likewise. "The College Jeweler" 24th Anniversary Sale now going on One-fourth to one half off on our entire stock. It seems that the great American vice has been changed from wife-bearing to run-running. Now someone should start a National Association for Study of Control of Decisions of Mankind. Wonder who washes dishes after W. S, G. A, tea? FUNNY PEOPLE, THESE JANITORS There are no dedication days for K, U. flower beds. Banquets are not tolerated to University juniors in commemoration of a period of service heavy with years. The firemen and engineers hear comment on their work only when an instructor finds an office or class room cold. 5. funny. Windows are cleaned. floors are swept, roads needed, heen kept up, the telephones work, flower beds bloom. Uncle Jimmy and his protege get a bath now and then. Come on. A Rock Chalk for the buildings and grounds department. Visitors to the campus are impressed. "Cabin third class!" is taking a lot of students to Europe this summer when dads came over in the same car when they called to the shearers. Believe It or Not? If all the commencement presents given to seniors at K, U, this year were laid end to end and the combined aggregate total ensemble would furnish decent fitting for the offices of three young lawyers, two ex-internes, and an architect, and leave enough over to furnish the homes of two juniper beds.

"Treat us like men," they said, "ard not like school children." Our Contemporaries Value of a Degree Most people measure education by degree. A, B, M, A, M, Ph. D. But persons with only the titles attached to their names merely have a schooling. An education means infinitely more. A few fairness men are beginning to take notice that a nun is not an ability and not because he had a high scholastic standing. It is not necessary to attend an institution of learning for a single day in order to acquire books, magazines, and papers of his own interest and knowledge with a desire for knowledge may satisfy that desire by reading books, magazines, and papers of his own interest and knowledge and knows for which method of requiring it he is best adapted. He learns to anticipate problems which require him to go to the library where he will go to look for information on those problems. Perhaps he will go to a public library and search for information for a magazineographic articles; or, he may talk to people whose schoolroom he has taught to place values on subjects; he has determined for himself which course to take; he is his own master, educationation. For a man who has chosen and sponsored his own course in life will be able to meet any situation and communicate with others. The Oklahom Daily Student Responsibility Are college men and women able to take care of themselves? Can their wrong actions be placed against them without any allowance for their youth? Yes, says the average student, but the dean of men of a large eastern university has not been available Saturday. Evening Post has grazed lessons on whether this is true. This official, throughout a long period of service, had trouble in fitting into the organization he was put on the shoulders of the men in his institution. Several men brought up for continued failure to attend their classes and for their responsibility and that they Deposit With Watkins National Bank Lawrence, Kansas During Finals Come and enjoy our good food.

Charter House Suits $40, $45, $50 Topcoat After a time this official decided that perhaps such was the correct attitude toward these delinquents. But in a few weeks the same group of students had been instructed to be considerable damage in one of the dormitories of the school while in a friendly scuffle. When the youths were taken into custody, put the following question up to the offenders. "Would you rather be treated as men and made rebellious than be treated as boys in a boyish prank?" These students, forgetting their earlier men, chose to be treated as boys. One of them has been that case confronted authorities at Indiana. At various times the student body has been ready to rebel against the authorities, so they are able to take care of themselves. Whenever a reform is needed on the campus, the student body often has to make up for it, and the problem in its own way without intervention from the administration. Such instances are already cited make it doubtful whether such freedom is advisable. Students take it up in class and do not spendibility without proving that they can. The problem is that of proof. It is up to the students to prove their assertions in every case. Until that point, only filmy grounds for crying out against the regulations of the faculty. Indiana Daily.
