"Yes sir!" That's a genuine Elgin strap watch. Costs you sixty bucks downtown. And even if you don't punch it out you have a chance at one of these twelve-dollar lighters. There are ten of those on the board."
WHY PUNCH BOARDLAWS
SHOULD BE ENFORCED
MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1928
All of which may or may not be true when told a student by one of Lawrence's restaurant or drug store owners who illegally operates punchboards and other gambling devices. In practically all cases of gambling someone is crooked, and the opportunity for crooked work is afforded in the operation of a punch board.
Usually the merchandise on the board is marked up to twice its actual value. The $50 watch is enclosed in a cneast case which makes it worth only $2.50. Collock lighters costing $2 or $5, but fashioned almost exactly like $12 Park lighters are used.
Very often the percentage returned by the board is fixed to produce a four or five hundred per cent profit. Sometimes owners routine to display articles which purport to be on the board, but which have already been punched off. Not long ago a student found a lighter board in a student-punished restaurant almost punched off, which still displayed an unwinker light. He bought the board and found no winning number. The manager had let the board go too far; he had gone careless. Usually they aren't so careless.
What the operator tells you may be right; but it usually isn't. Enterprises beginning on violation of law usually are not based on truth. Yet many such devices are operated in Lawrence. The Kansas thinks some action should be taken.
It is easy to entice students to punch a large board when a very expensive prize is offered along with a number of lighters or other charmer prizes. There really isn't or needn't be any danger to the operator of having the big prize punched of before most of the board is punched. He may punch a clean board until he selects a number ending in 5 or 0 and then post the number punched as the winning punch and offer other prizes for similar numbers still on the board. When most of the board has been played he may remove an unpunched number from the rear of the board and replace it by the number he has been holding which calls for the big prize. He not only "may" do it; he frequently does.
WE CAN PASS THE BUCK
No longer can America be condemned for the "horrible music they call jazz." An eminent French author and critic has discovered that jazz is old French music, on which Mississippi negroes grafted their African tom-tom rhythm.
America has served as the mother under whose guiding hand the craze has grown to full manhood. But this, in the opinion of the Frenchman, is not a point for which we can be condemned or criticized.
WE CAN PASS THE BUCK
In this particular case, who can doubt the wisdom of a Frenchman?
EASY COME, EASY GO
When the campaign for the Union building was started, the students on the Hill all thought that it would be a wonderful boon to the student body. Now we have the Union building, but the students make little use of it. True, it is not complete, nor as luxurious as might be, but it still is a place where students might meet and achieve a better social relation, irrespective of differing economic or other distinctions.
Is it merely because the students are not acquainted with the areas to which the building might be put that they do not gather there?
That such is the case is doubtful, and if so it is deplorable. That students back the curiosity to find the uses to which a valuable institution may be put is a new indictment.
Rather is seems to be a case of easy come, easy go. The students of the present have had little or no part in the forming of this building. Not having striven for the goal, they do not appreciate its achievement. With the campaign for the completion of the building they will have that chance. If they appreciate the building they will support the drive. If not—
SUNDAY STUDYING
For a considerable length of time now, there has been anitation to open Watson library, for a short time, a loot, on Sunday afternoon or evening. This idea is advocated by many who are taking heavy courses that require considerable study. It is by other who are taking part in outdoor activity due to such an extent that they lay little spare time in the week to open on outside reading or research work which must be done in the library Others are working to earn enough money to get through school, on Sunday is their only clear day to study.
There are a number of students, also do not have the ability to concentrate on their studying at the fraternities, secreties, or homes where there are other university students, and they are compelled to study in the library, if they desire to get their assignments well.
Those supporting the idea of keeping the "hall of study" open for several hours each Sunday are not asking an impossible thing. They see no wrong in it. Many school and city libraries over the state are left open on Sunday, but neither is open here.
Just what are such persons to do? Must they take the chance of making poor grades, must they do the best they can and suffer the consequences, or must they learn to study under an favorable conditions at home?
The University is a place to study.
Every effort possible, then, to make
conditions favorable for each work,
should be made.
EASY LANDING
Another banquet speaker well expressed the situation when he said that unless Lawrence arranges for a suitable landing field very soon, it will find itself in the position of the small country town which a half century ago was without railroad service. It had been hoped by the more enthusiastic people of Lawrence that this city would provide one of the stopping places for the All-Kansas air tour which will visit all the airport of the state in the near future.
So far, however, all the fields which have been offered have been found unattainable. Quick action must be initiated if the original plan are to be carried out.
"We have to move an airport. That's all there is about it." Three words, spoken by the president of the recently organized Aero club of the University, O. M. Rucker, at a banquet Wednesday evening, voices the general sentiment of students on the Hill.

That, however, is merely a passing incident in the whole movement. There will be similar tours in the future and before long commercial aviation will be a common thing. Eventually lawsuits will have an air-port. It is only a question whether local people are progressive enough to get behind the idea at once.
Part of the task belongs to the city of Lawrence. The University and the students, however, also have a definite role to play.
Professor Stoss of the School of Engineering and Architecture has expressed the wish that a course from three to six airbus in aviation might be added to the engineering curriculum. This is evidence of the fact that at least one member of the faculty is conscious of immediate possibilities, Louisant Meyre has suggest an R, O, T, C, air unit. He feels that this would contribute much toward the upheap of a suitable landing place.

Students are preverbally progressive. They are pictured as being suspicion of the past and overvalor in the introduction of new and intruded methods and devices. Whether this is true or not, they should at least be responsive to future contingencies.

Editor Daily Kansas;
I have been contemplating for sometime writing the Kansan and extending to it my thanks and appreciation for the many favorable comments, and the many nice thing; it has done for the band and myself.
What the Editors Say
I want the Kanana to know that its assistance means much to the band, that labors unseasonably, to the best interests of every phase of university life. A word of praise or a favorable comment at times when the band does more than can be accomplished stimulating greater efforts of the band to please those whom it serves. The Kanana is doing a great service for all concerned in the university, and is a good representative paper for students, faculty, and alumni. A school paper always has value. A teacher's paper also has value to other artists and individuals.
I wish to thank you again and hope that the hand and myself may always be worthy of what you do, and have done for us. J. C. McCleles.

Does Italy's Cap Fit Any Other Head?
A pathetic note on democracy. Because his was the only disjointive voice raised in the Italian chamber again the new fascist electoral law, Signor boltiti gets mentioned in dispatches for bravery.

Bill and Jack were typical college boys,—always broke! To make their expenses, they had thought of everything from a chair to a near-bee factory,—somehow those plans never worked.
What an epitaph on Italy's deprived freedom! The former premier's unvevry consisted in anying that Mussolini's electoral "reforms" deprived the people of representation and were unconstitutional. A true statement, of course. The new law gives to fascist syndicates the function of selecting 800 candidates for the chamber. From this list the fascist grand council selects 400, and this second list constitutes the "ticket" submitted to the electorate which has no alternative but to accept or reject it as a
"Bill, we've got to sell something that is good and at bargain prices."
"The same wonderful idea struck me the other day when I was looking at a hole in my sock, so I wrote the Superwear Hosiery Company of 706 First Avenue in New York and who cater to college men's furnishings, and who are the largest advertisers in the country selling men's hosiery exclusively, direct and just received their orders. Jack and Jack, and Jack! a knockout! Every color, fabric, and fancy style a fellow could want! 39 different styles—and say they've given you something men's silk ryan undergarments—one and two piece suits."
Function than wipes out the last vestige of constitutional opposition in the chamber and in the country. How can a government take away an individual's right to protest without evoking even a show of protest? It is no secret in Italy. Indeed Maundiolo himself has explained it frankly. It was easy to do because the people of Italy had them under firm arms with intelligence and patriotism, the function necessary to the working of democracy. They had abandoned the suffrage or left its exercise to participation or to political brokers. That was that the Italian chamber became representative not of the people but

"Jack, I'll have every fellow on the campus "coded with a supply of spring and summer socks and underwear!"

their complete free selling out-
fit."
If there is any other country in which this same process is going on, in which 50 per cent of the electors do not vote, in which bosses, brokers and powerful private and moneyed interests control political parties and legislators, in which revolutions of graft, corruption, purchased elections and tainted campaign funds do not fit the indignation or political action of the non-voting masters, that country too, may sometimes consider it an act of bravery for a member of its highest legislative assembly to promote a funeral oration at the graves of its
The professor of logic was offering the class practical illustrations of trains of thought. Discussion of the subject turned on the reasoning in the well-known Stinchard skirt, "Yes." The professor did, in a tone of formal skirt trains of thought, run smoothly as long as they are well oiled."
Plain Tales From the Hill
In speaking of the girl's school and the values of them, Professor Blackmar said, "Yes, but do you think the girls have time to make up for all the time best from the 'happy jumping ground' after they get out?"
Professor Blockman had just written the questions for his mid-supervisor examination in Biology on the board and turned to the class.
"Big questions of big brains," he
said, "Go to it."
And then he laughed as if he didn't mean the part about the brains. Alas! it isn't awful?
The only difference between this day and your grandmother's day is this. In the old day, they spelled it "spoon" and today it is called "peet." We think that sums up the whole situation very adequately.
