TUESDAY, MAY 1, 1928 With only three weeks left before the start of final examinations, and with scarcely a month before commencement, it is time for the seniors of the University to be winding up their affairs with regard to Commencement. PREPARATIONS FOR COMMENCEMENT Senior dues should be paid as early as possible, invitations procured, and arrangements for caps and gowns made. Early settlement of such affairs will be an aid to the senior themselves; for the last few weeks will be crammed with many other affairs and preparations for funds as well. This will be an aid not only to the senators, but to the student committees and to members of the University staffs who are connected with such affaires. Members of the student committees have their own work to do as well as taking care of the class matters, and it is not upon them that the burden should rest for the negligence of the class members. Attention to such matters now will lessen the worry and rush of the last few days of school for everyone concerned. Hoverer's backers are counting on his 947,356 "relatives" to aid him in the coming election. If they start counting relatives, Smith will be sure to win. IN THE INTERESTS OF SCIENCE Some policemen in Chicago are asking for guards to protect them from the unlawful element. One cheerful doubt is that they evidently are not in with the gang, anyway. Dr. H, B. Hungerford sailed Monday from Montreal on an eight month leave of absence for study in Europe. A native son of Kansas and a graduate of the University, Doctor Hungerford has attained a position of importance which few of us realize in what we lightly call the world of science. In certain fields he is final authority upon whom scientists of the whole world depend. Incidentally, he is a member of Phi Beta Kapsi, of Kappa Xi, a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and the Kansas Academy of Science, who holds it? How did he do it? By the most minute and painstaking labor, well directed over a period of years. This summer, in the museums of cities in all parts of Europe he will spend long hours comparing the most minute details of body markings of insect specimens belonging to those museums with the specimens which he is taking from the collections of the University and of Smithsonian Institute. The thickness of the stripe on a wing may be enough to distinguish between two specimens. What is the purpose? THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN To compare the types of certain insects which American scientists distinguish by certain names with the types to which European scientists apply the same terms. It is a small Job this, Doctor Hungerford has with him only some eight thousand different specimens about which he needs to know nothing more definite than the thickness of wing strikes! What will be done with the information collected? It will be catalogued by scientists of the whole world and referred to them as final wherever they work on projects in these fields. To the layman, such labor seems excessive and fruitless; but it is through information collected in this manner that the world has in recent years been comparatively freed of the terrific scourges of the Black Death and the other plagues which formerly caused suffering and loss. NAME THE AUDITORIUM Why must the new auditorium keep on going without a real name? It won't always be "the new auditorium" for each building grown. His picture appears in various papers, its name never. It's just the "new auditorium." Other building on the campus not nearly so large or beautiful have names, but our newest goes as on if we were ashamed of it and did not want to christen it. In accordance with the customary procedure of naming the University buildings, why not give it the name of a prominent Jayhawker, of one who has done much for the school. Is there not one among those who have passed on who has done enough to merit such a distinction? Why must a person die before being recognized and honored? To give a name to the auditorium, of one living or dead would be an honor for the person for whom it is named, and an honor for the auditorium. If the Prince of Wales ever expects to become the King of England he must overcome his complex for taking falls. Since he has had an airplane placed at his disposal he is going to find himself in a game where one is usually disqualified after the first fall. POSSESSION IS NINE POINTS OF THE LAW A man hasn't a chance to protect his property in the city of Chicago. A recent mifortune that has befallen a citizen is one that is uncommon in any city and extremely unusual for Chicago, in that there was an absence of bloodletted. The chronology of the case as it norted runs as follows: Murphy's $2200 car was stolen. Fahye was caught in it. Fahye was indicted. Fuhey obtained one continuance each month for eight months. Murphy was warned each month by assistant state's attorneys to sleep in the deck. Murphy used his influence to get Fahey's case tried. Murphy was warned he would get a "pineapple" under his door if he did not visit. Murphy was told by an assistant state's attorney that he would have his car if he lost his case. Murphy was not allowed to prove ownership of the car Fahye had stolen. Fahey was found "not guilty" by a jury. Though Murphy lost the thee and his car, it is to his credit that he be pushed the charges in the face of threatened personal injury. Regardless of the merits of the case, proof is furnished that Chicago believes the old adage that possession is nine points of the law. Fahey thereupon took the car from Murphy by a writ of replevin. The Murphy man, that his wife was The new Union Memorial building should represent all phases of student life. It should represent the University of Kansas to all the visitors who flock there for conventions, hampers or just to make a visit. A TROPHY CASE A big trophy case in the Union building would attract attention. Row upon row of silver loving cups are at- Though Murphy lost both his eyes Additionally, he did not believe that Over a long period of years our athletic teams have been winning loving cups and trophies by sequesters. Those have been scattered around the nocks and cranies of the athletic office and have become tarnished. Lost to the students and visitors as they are, they have lost their significance. They should be kept in the view of the public, where they can be constant reminders of this phase of collegiate life.

LET'S SUPPORT THEM Oklahoma Angies, Missouri and Iowa State have fallen victims to the backhatch jobs; laffs and drive "Kansas net men made a clean sweep of the match yesterday with." This has been the leading sentence of the story about K. U. tennis matches in every contest this year. While everyone is watching the major track and field events and the baseball contexts with enjoyment many are forgetting that the University has a tennis team that is going along with flying rebels. It is all due to their own work too, for until the last week there has been no coach. Captain George Allred and Charles Sager are the players who have represented the University in the three tennis matches, and they have not suffered defeat yet. lowe State have fallen victims to the backhands, lobbies, laffing and drives of the Kanae representatives. Few students have witnessed any of the games this year. It is not an athletic contest that draws large crowds, but the K. U. men have played in fine fashion just the same. Our Contemporaries ... What Good? The claim that America is productive of things artisanal is not very often made, but it is widely accepted. Our convention usually have a hard time in convincing others of its truth. The well-known German biographer, Emil Ludwig, now living in New York, wrote about European notables—that of touring this country—said recently in speaking of the lack of artists in Germany. He further states to the point where they have become your art." Gross commercialism seems to have crowded things aesthetic hopelessly into the back. Painters displaying true artistic ability are tremendously rare here, artistry in the drama is an attribute found in even eatery customers from the commercial blight. In judging the drama, most of us are too prone to accept the drama so involuntarily expressed in paintings, but Neysa ducer, in his definition of a good play as "one that draws well and pays salaries and royalties," Neysa Meaen, the illustrator, probably didn't startle her with his painting as artist." Yet she admitted the greatest failing of American art when she said, "I belong to those whose artistic ability is turned to the production of fine works for the public and immediately suitable." Box office receipts and sales totals have become altogether too prominent as criteria in the judgment of artistic accomplishment. Dollars and cents are creative efforts must be measured by the American public, just as commercialism has warped our views of so many other phases of life. The field of education has no means been created for a general, pervasive viewpoint. The University student devoiding his time to cultural rather than immediately practical subjects must rather blushly admit he is not aware of the inquiry of the average American. When Mr. Average Citizen asks the academic student "What good is it going to do you?" the dollar and cents standard is always uppermost in his mind for the courses, are naturally, a positive need, yet there are too few who realize the value of the old-time classical education. A broad cultural background is of value no matter what a man's goals are, but it does benefit tangible benefits and to assign a cash value to every feature of academic study, yet the fact that the person possessing this broader background is enabled to live a fuller life, and a more enjoyable one, should be patent to everyone. Specials for Wednesday Minnesota Daily Not An Anomaly Industrial progress and practical work are important, but when employers value the time of finer things, it is time that we pause in our dollar-worship and reevaluate our priorities.

He was taught as a fact in the minds of many that the man who flunks out of school has no good measure of good success, whereas the Pete Bote or Tian Bote is doomed to burial in a rejuvenation position at twenty-five. The January number of the Key, publication of Priti Beta Kapla, tells the results of a survey of the records of 126 teachers in both college and afterwards. The survey extending over a period years showed that the popular myth and established, beyond a double the agreement between excellent grades in colleges and excelent grades in universities. The The New Cafeteria (Memorial Building) "Nothing is good enough but the Best" This survey of the graduates of only one university may not be considered representative, but the results are no conclusive in the case that it seems almost impossible that the results for other colleges would agree. The results of a complete survey could be made, of the graduates of this university would agree in general with those of ours. For the average student this report can have considerable value, if he or she has not graduated grudges and success. Most students "do not allow their lessons interfere with their college education."

The story is told that at a recent Hill bureau when an amateur after dinner speaker got up to begin his talk he found himself so shaky that he placed his hands on the table to help him. The person waited; it was discovered Next to me in the smoking car a gentleman was puffing his pipe contentedly. I was not amusing at the moment, but as we continued intrigued me exceedingly. For two years I had smoked Eldgery with her, and she had always flavored it with the fragrance organizing from the pipe of the gentleman beside me in the smoking car. We resisted the rumination to speak of it. "It is Edgeworth," he answered. We then congratulated each other upon our mutual good taste, and I felt proud of them to continue to use his beard and mound.

A man near the front of the class raised his hand, "Do you want to know why, too?"
