WILLIAM ROCKHILI
NELSON
To newspapermen the world over
the name of William Rockillah Nelson
stands for the realization of the full
possibilities of a newspaper.
The Kauri today presents to the department of Journalism a portrait of this great journalist in the hope that it will serve as a constant reminder to students of the great possibilities which lie before them.
It has been forty-eight years since Colonel Nelson published the first issue of the Kansas City Star. Since that time it has increased from a small four page journal to one of the really great papers of the country. The city whose progress it has always furthered has grown from a ragged outset to a great industry, and now, through Colonel Nelson's bequests is to make a bid for a place in the world of art.
Colonel Nelson was ever a great friend of the University. He supported it in its ideals and in its endowments. He helped $^{8}$ to the place which it now occupies.
It is a great privilege for students of journalism to have the life of such a man to set as their model; to beckon them on to the goal which he set far along the path of success.
We are indeed sorry to see the plight of our friend and arch-radical, William Allen White. The sourge of infamy placed by the Daughters of the American Revolution will undoubtedly lead to his lasting damnation in the hearts of his countrymen.
BACK AGAIN
They would not put out fires!
The diet machines of Hill business made their departure a couple of months before had broken. But then they were the first to be seen after vacation ended, so their record isn't so bad on the average. Nothing worse than double cuts for them.
The officials of the companies operating slot machines, in this vicinity are shrewd, very shrewd. They have had dealings with editors, with criticism of members of communities, have been requested to move out by police of numbers of citizens throughout the United States. So now they go into a certain community with the intention of remaining as long as they can and cleaning up; then when a storm brews over their heads they simply pack up and stay away until "things blow over."
These tactics seem to work very profitably for the firms for people are so prone to forget in a short time; the police act only when antagonism is definitely shown after weeks and months of indifference so profitable to the company.
No, double cuts aren't enough. The culprits should be expelled for good. They will be, too, when mothers and fathers of students find allowances are crowned up by this mild but costly form of gambling, when merchants find that business is better when something is given in return for the customer's money, when the students find what heavy odds are against them on the machines.
WHY SHOULD NOT THEY RE ON?
Why should not seniors who are within ten hours of graduation be permitted to have their names on the commencement programs? They may have their names on the invitations, they may take part in all the exercises, they may wear the cup and gown. They are barred from nothing with the exception of getting a diploma—and having their names on the commencement programs.
There doesn't seem any logical explanation for it—especially if the seniors in question are willing to pay their diploma fees in advance.
Many seniors link only from two to ten hours of being graduated. The majority of these will participate in the graduation exercises and finish their work in the Summer Session, where they will be satisfied a graduate do scatter. They know they will be graduated, so do their friends, the invitations their names, and if they desire to see their names on or at the commencement programs they must return a year later.
Why not make it contingent upon he payment of the diploma fee? If student does not ever intend to finish, he is not likely to pay the fee if he intends to return another semester and therefore do graduate work, and therefore be present at the ext commencement, he will not other to pay the fee. But for the many students who will do neither of he above, it is manifestly unfair. It is depriving them of one of the big awards for four years of effort. It is an unjust discrimination.
And we nok, why is it?
"Missing Boy Returns Home" "Journal-World headline." The younger generation may be hard-hearted enough to run away from their parents, but they seem unwilling to carry off the real estate.
WALKING OUT ON INSTRUCTORS
How would the plan of allowing the students to leave a class when it able to interest them, as set forth by a member of the University of alfarmera faculty, work out in actual practice?
Perhaps many students are taking courses or have taken them from which they derived little benefit and with which they were thoroughly burdened throughout the course. They would perhaps be as well off if they could leave them and apply the time to better advantage on work more to their liking.
But how many courses are there, which the students thoroughly enjoy? Practically all knowledge is attained only after some degree of uninterrestine effort and drudgery.
Such a practice as that advocated by a few at California might tend to make future lectures more interesting and disgust some faculty "deadwood," but at the same time it would probably disgust many really worthwhile instructors. It would tend to develop a condition of having the faculty indirectly chosen by the student body. And what student body is capable of selecting a college faculty? And after all, the students are certainly in college for a better purpose, than of merely being entertained.

INTOLERABLE INTERFER
ENCE
Students of the University, the superintendent of buildings and grounds took an unfair advantage of us during Easter vacation. Unless we get in some mighty quick lickers, some of our favorite bite spots along the camps, sidewalls are likely to become coated with grass.
While we were away he sent our several of his men with grass seed to sprinkle over those particularly special hares' spots to the cultivation of which we have given so much of our time, and of which we have been so proud.
Then, to add insult to injury, he had those men rake the sand in so that it would get a good start before we could return and look after things. Such interference with our plans for properly landscaping the campus should not be tolerated—not even from the superintendent of buildings and grounds. He seems to have got quite out of hand during variation. It's time for us to begin looking after our interests at the University, and to put this upstart in his place.
We may look for the armies of several nations to invade Chicago in order to protect their interests in that fair city. Lives are being endangered in the American city as well as in Niagara.

Who's To Blame?
A recent survey at the University of Kansas, made in an attempt to discover reasons for certain courses he felt were inappropriate, the fact that it is not merely the students who are to blame. Certain objections were made to the professors who took his course; the instructor did not know how to get his material over to others, that he did not organize his subject, that he had not learned well, and that he was too theoretical.
Now, it is quite well recognized that many of the host authorities are men who cannot becture; but it also is true, that many of the host authorities are men of the Ball Sushi sphincters, that there are numbers of men who have a general opinion on how to a way as to get the elements over. In regard to organized material, it seems that anyone who is taught to becture a faculty should have learned to put his subject in order. But this is not often the case. As a result, students listened very much when he where be positioned. He may have a very potent point to bring out, but if he doesn't bring it out, what good is it?
Professors might do well to look in upon themselves once in a while when they find that a heavy percentage of their students are exceedingly low grades. Some are
proof of these low grades, but they should see the marks as a reflection on their own as well as the students' own. In other words, much surprised to find that the members of their classes give them a low grade and that teachers to often fail to apply the same criteria to themselves and their courses that they apply to the work environment.
It might be interesting to see what students think of specific professors and the students who ranking highest would be the professors who deal with their students as individuals, not as mirrors of a book of a lecture back on a blue book.
