A POOR JOKE
There are some things which are fit subjects for jokes, but memorials are not among them. You woret the bronze plate from the Rock Chalk pile Saturday night and left it leaning against the door of the home of a member of the faculty should take his enjoyment in private, for the public will fail to appreciate it.
The perpetrator of what was probably supposed to be an April Fool joke, has done a deed which can be explained only by a perverted sense of humor and cannot be justified at all.
A humorist is one thing, a jackass quite another.
OUR JURY DECISIONS
A Kansas City woman receives $200 for a burn on her head while she was receiving a permanent wave—Proof enough that bolted hair can make money for someone other than the barbers.
The diversity of opinion which might be evidenced by twelve jurymen at two different trials for the same offense has been shown in the recent case of Roscoe F. Warren of Kimsa City.
Warren was convicted of having fired the shot which killed John C. Deskin, in October of 1924, at a meeting of the directors of the Mutual Rocky Mountain Club in the Scarritt building. At his first trial he received a sentence of fifteen years in prison. A reversal by the supreme court sent the case back for the second trial. This time the twelve jurors found him guilty of first degree murder and the punishment was placed at death.
Two points of vital importance are brought into light by the trial. If the crime was deserving of the death sentence, why was the punishment imposed in the first trial made only fifteen years in the penitentiary? And if the juries can have such a wide range of opinion on one single case, can any decision be accepted as intelligent, fair, and unbiased?
Something drastically wrong affects a trial which would furnish evidence enough for a jury to form two opinions concerning the same trial, as have been returned in the Warren case.
Perhaps our "moron" juries may be found in cities other than that in which Mr. Remus was tried.
HAVE A RING WORM
"I forgot to tell the class that you are to boil out your 'grym' clothes during the Easter vacation. Ring worm germs have been found on the wrestling mats and in the locker room."
"A ring worm," says our illustrious friend, Naoh Webster, who wrote a dictionary, "is a contagious affection of the skin of man due to a vegetable parasite, forming ring-shaped discolored patches covered with vesicles or powdery scales. It occurs on the body, the face, or the scalp."
It was thoughtful and considerate for the instructor to tell the class
and, of course, it was only that absent mindedness so characteristic of all teachers that prevented him from telling us when the ring worms were first discovered. The "gym" class didn't care a bit, what a few ring worms among friends? The students were all the more eager to roll and turn flips on mats which never were too clean, with or without rinkworms. "We're going to clean out some of the dirty spots around the place over the vacation," concluded the instructor. If all the "gym" classes would hold their own mock convention, they would vote anonymously for antiseptic soap, Dutch Cleaner, stiff brushes, and a lot of elbow grease.
Some of our ardent anti-feminists expressed not even casual interest in the woman billionaire champion who was a man. The discovery of the secret was effected by the suicide of the impostor. To be a man and to have lived the life of a woman can call forth not a grain of sympathy from them.
THE MAKING OF A HABIT
Students do not refuse to take advantage of facilities about them if they realize what these facilities are. Here on this campus, on one hand, the Union Memorial building partially completed with the prospect of being a real benefit to the students after the addition of a few more furnishings and a darner floor. On the other hand, there are 4000 students unacquainted with the Union idea except through a formal introduction at Completion day. A name is often forgotten after a formal introduction. There are on such occasions so many distractions that seem more interesting than a mere name or an epigrammatic ideal. Perhaps the Union building has failed to impress upon the students the salient qualities of its personality.
At a recent meeting of the Union Memorial plans committee a series of attractions to lead the students to the building were outlined. Such a move is aimed at the heart of the indifference toward the Union building. A follow-up of a brief introduction made several months ago with a second, a third, and who can any how many more visits, will make the Union a part of the daily habits of many students. That should be desired by them.
A MYTHICAL PERIL
The bulbahala raised by eastern universities against co-education might well be taken to be as reliable a sign of the passing of an old frontier, as the noisy resistance to law in the border camps characterized the passing of the western frontier. It is a last cry raised by the adherents of the old New England tradition that a man should be educated and a girl "finished." It is the last wail of another obesecent tradition slowly crumbling before the assaults of feminism.
In the west, where co-education is the rule instead of the exception, the furor is little heard. Woman has long been accorded her place in the sun, and the western man, instead of bewailing such a condition, has set himself to meet the criteria of the 'modern college woman.
The vanity of the eastern college man has been hurt. He likes to think he is superior to more woman, his ego demands that he set the model by which his mate is to be judged. Co-education reverses this condition and the co-ed has very definite physical, mental and moral

MARIORIE RUTH MARTIN, Secretary
The eastern nun for all of his blase air and worldly sophistication is altogether too close to his Simino ancestors. The day when an educated woman can be impressed by a strutting vain-glorious male is passed, she is mentally and economically in
dependent and she knows it. She is suffering under no illusions as to the grims man. That she is quite capable of offering sharp, scholastic competition will be shown by the records of any coeducational institution.
Our Contemporaries
So, we say, let the eastern college man gracefully submit before he is forced to do so. Instead of laxity because the college woman no longer regrip him as a demigodd to be ignorantly worshipped, let him set in work to meet the rational standards the has set.
The Campus Knows All
Nearly every educational institution is beset with a clause of students, or more properly speaking, numb-skilled, who crush every student in the university; this is often in form or form and Indiana university is no exception to this rule. This class of students who are of critical intelligence, is represented well on the campus; and occasionally one bops up from the group to prevent our for-ces.
Whether our friend in discussion is criticizing a campus dramatic producer or being a demonstrator of the democrats or the Glee club, he expresses his opinions with equal gusto.
Attend the Kansas Relays
The student in question elects himself to the position of a judge about what is good and what is bad in the matter of student enterprises. Then he asks his fellow students his fellow students he does not a little to damage worthwhile student undertakings, for sometimes his mates want how little he is fitted to criticize.
and in a knowing way, leaving about as little leeway for argument about his pronunciationism as does a decision of the supreme court. He is the biggest duck in the paddle, if you judge by his noise. He is, in fact, the criterion of what is worthwhile in Indiana university.
The reaction of the average sensible student after contact with the campus know-all is one of extreme pain. But if he stops to mediate about the wherefore and the why of such a student's existence, he is safe from any real threat of falling off the handle and desiring to mastate the follow on the probesb.
For after all, the person of whom he spoke is nothing but a lie. It some times his cronies do not realize it but he is a pitiful figure. In the fire that broke out last month, Podunk or Cranberry Center and did n't know the difference between foot school and to school. And since getting here he has done nothing to acquire the knowledge which he tries to make letters

A careful scrutiny of his record disclosure that he never made an attempt to kill the student will help no haploglossia debate to approve. Had he ever made an attempt to do anything worth while he would realize that the student was no more than every student undertaking. He would not have the credit to stand up and criticize his violations in such a bald fashion.

Persons who thus assume the man-

It is well known that in a whole are fairly aware of their caller and do not hesitate to direct their pompous remarks, to insult, or to stifle the student body does not see through.

A passive attitude on the part of students in a class may indicate that they are absorbed in what is being taught, rather than in being told they are taking a mental nap while waiting for the bell. A clash of opinions among the students are mentally awake.
Whether they are thinking along the prescribed line or are going off on a tinge, at least they are active in mind. The class in which students learn to express and defend themselves is one in which true thinking is developed. The class in which they are expected to learn the text or the instructor's words and parrot them back into their speech, but it will not give an education.
Students will be better fitted to meet problems and form opinions and judgments, which teachers will teach them to think. The classroom need not—in fact should
