"Students never come down to the varsity dances and class parties until t 930 or 10. This makes the first day of classes so difficult, don't get together until after intermission. By starting a half hour later we think things will start off with a bang and the party will be hot right beginning." Haugenius said morning.
Spring decorations will be used in F. A. U. hall. They have been designed and the cake-walk managers have passed on them. As soon as they are completed, they will be put away for the next Friday afternoon. Flowers and colored lights will be the prevailing scheme of decoration.

Prof. Lawson Gives Talk
Prof. Paul B. Lawson, assistant dean of the College and professor of entomology, gave another of the after class presentation sponsored by the Y. M. C. A., at the Delta Upson house last Wednesday when she was on the subject "relationship."
Professor Lawson took up the subject from the standpoint of scholarship and not grade. The student was not working for grades, but our present system could not be changed to a standard, as it would take away the incentives.
Professor Lawson also pointed out that the student who works too many hours a day can't do justice to his work. He added that the student for the student in school heavily in debt and to have enjoyed his studies than to be in the classroom and to just scrap his courses.
"It is not a question of how well you are doing," he added, "but how hard you are trying." 'D' means just lift 'A' if 'A' it represents your best effort.
"The scholastic problem is not a question of poor high school preparation or lack of concentration but how much time the student puts on his school job" he went on. "The average time a high grade student goes about 10fifths a hour while the failing student averages below thirty."

DII Painting of Founder of K. C. Star Is Added to Group Honored by Kansan
The philosophy of William Rockhill Nelson, founder of the Kansas City Star, may be totalled into these words, "To the mind of men!" This was said in his 1926 book *The editorial writer of the Star*, and long associated with Colonel Nelson in his lifetime, who was the speaker this afternoon at the unveiling ceremony of an oil portrait of Nelson, hung in the lunararium building.
The painting is by Alfred H. Clark of Kansas City who has painted the portraits of Joseph Pultzer, Horace Wilcox and William K. Fisher of English in the University, who was the teacher of the first K. U. classes in journalism in 1863. These
Nelson Wished to Influence
Mr. Haskell said, in speaking of Colonel Nelson, "He turned to newspaper work as the most effective way to promote his ideas to print a newspaper," he used to say, 'not especially for the instruction and entertainment of renders, but to get news.'
After having spent several years with the Fort Wayne Sentimental, Nelson went to Kansas City and on September 18 he met the first Mayor of Cedar Spring City.
"This newspaper reflected the needs of the time—the generation from 1830 to 1910 pioneering and Nelson established himself as a leader in that enterprise," he wrote.
Reflected the Period
This fact was related when he spoke of his personality. "He would come to the office in the morning with an old envelope scribbled over with messages from friends, sometimes in a wakeful hour in the night." His eyesight as impaired and it was a real adventure helping him decipher his writing which he did with much humour and amusement, some suggestions on the envelope to be a staff busy all day.
Dancing After Lunch
"It is difficult for those who belong to a later generation to recognize the extent to which that dominating personality influenced not only Kansas City, but the whole Southwest. It is also important that culminating in a snow-capped peak, and when he spoke tremendous internal forces seemed to rumble."
After the unveiling ceremonies the newroom was converted for dancing of the Virginia Reel. Tea was serve in the sky-parlor.

Anti-Thompson Men Win
Lowden and Smith Will Receive Most of Ill. Delegates
(United Press)
Chicago, April 11.—The Lowden- deeason faction of the Republican party in Illinois emerged dominant in state politics today by virtue of a crushing defeat administered to an unchanging coalition in yesterday's primary.
The Lowen - Jensen candidates swamped Gov. Len Small throughout the state and seriously threatened Mayor Wiley Hale Thompson's hold on governor positions. Even States Attorney Crowe of Cook county, firmly entrenched for years, could not hold his forces in line and only a startling reversal in late returns could prevent his defender for Iowa by circuit judge John A.
