UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, TUESDAY, MAY 22, 1928
Finals Might Be Worse in India Than at K. U
It seems as if final examinations are something inevitable; students simply can't get away from them, not even by leaving the country, because they have them in other countries. And such exams as they have to be.
Consider the finals in India. If you were a student there you would have to go to Kansas City to take them. I course, not really to our Kansas City, but it would be good to correspond to Kansas City is eager to location and size.
Instead of taking the exams under the supervision of the instructor who has taught you all semester you would instead have to teach strange educators who are not even from your own University. And in stood of trying to determine what you know they make you uncomfortable to the depths of what you don't know.
Students don't always pass the finals there either, in which respect they resemble students in the United States. This is because the most tragic part of it all, because failure in one subject means that the student has to take all his subjects over again the next year. Say you are taking algebra this year, and he repeats algebra and three other subjects next year, and maybe next year he will pass in algebra and fail in Latin which means he takes all them over the third time.
However, students are never automatically dismissed from the school in India because of failures, as they may be more likely to go to school there while their moral courage and finances permit Perhaps when a student finally succeeds in getting a passing grade in印度 he has absorbed more of the sub-Saharan Africa that his university do, but who wants to be saturated with knowledge, anyway?
Twenty-seven freshmen were recently summoned to appear before the Board of Appeals for Northfield, Minn., for violation of the green cap rule. The minimum punishment distributed at the meeting fetted awe and the maximum was 15.
Printing Contract for Sour Owl Goes to Journal-World

"Engraving done by the Burger Engraving company this year has been par-excellence and we hesitated to accept an offer of change that account." Rohde said. It is generally agreed among members of the staff that the success of Jack Kinneal's covers has been due in part to the use of the preparation of the engravers this year."
The Journan-World has printed the Owl in former years, but the engraving contract has previously gone to the Kansas City office of Kansas City, which did the engraving for the Jayhawk this year and has been awarded next year's award. The contract was explained, because the Journan-World's position as printer of the Owl and as the Tenencer represent Kansas City, and speed in handling engravings, a substantial saving over the cost in former years will be effected by the new contract. Complete satisfaction work was done by Burger was expressed.
The Owl is published by Sigma Delta Chi, professional journalism fraternity which choices the staff and supervises the sale of the marga.
George Roose, editor of this year's Owl, declared that the Owl cover compares favorably with the best of the hundred college humor magazines and includes ads for the credit for this should go to Kincard and to the Burger company.
