HOW DO YOU SPEND YOUR SUNDAY'S?
The Puritan fathers have gone, and so have many of their quint institutions, such as huge pew show buesles and strict observance of the Subbath even to the point of making children wear high tipped shoes all day long, whereas they were used to go around barefooted during the week.
But there are several hangovers from these quaint customs and prejudices of the New England fathers existing in the customs and rules of the University of Kansas. There seems to be a general agreement that Sunday recreation is a positive evil and that work on Sunday (no one will admit the sin) is inconceivable. So the city and the University close their picture shows, many of their buildings, their libraries and even their pool rooms, and until recently the University closed its tennis courts; the logical conclusion being, we suppose, that the students will go to the prescribed church, study in the stuffy little rooms, or walk uninvolved about on the campus with an air of profound reverence.
The difference to be noted here in this comparison between now and then is that the prohibition of Sunday occupation or pre-occupation is not one of Puritan morality, but of creating an impression on visitors; for in any group of visitors there are certain to be some who would insist on a strict construction on the Sabath and would spread unfavorable publicity if they noted anything on Mr. Oread that was contrary to their views.
The fact is that students will not go to their stuffy study halls and study and study, or go to church 100 per cent, or walk about on the campus with an air of profound reverence. Instead, they will galvanize hither and thither in cars, or worse, raising proverbial Cain and bringing general discredit to the University and the commonwealth of Kansas as some of our critics would put it.
This year a decisive step was taken in the direction of progressive reform. Upon the expression of a consolidated student opinion, with an efficient organization to back it, the use of tennis courts on Sunday was granted to the students.
We are reminded of an old proverb which reads like this: "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. All play and no work makes Jack a more joyful." We wish to refer especially to the last part of the saying. Our playing needs have been heeded. Some of the students, however, find study on Sunday an absolute necessity because of outside work and activities plus general indulgence and laziness. Also instructors are wont to give unusually long library assignments over the week-end. We ask, in all sincerity, why cannot Watson library be opened for a few hours on Sunday?
Every favorable Sunday these courts are occupied by students playing their favorite game. No rowdyism has been reported to disgrace the good name of the University in the eyes of supercritical visitors.
One of the big troubles with university education these days is that the professors don't recognize ability and the students don't possess it.
GOOD-BYE BARREL STAVE
A definite step toward abolishing physical violence and corporal punishment in fraternities was taken at the meeting of the Meat's Student Council Wednesday night. Not content to use the meaningless trespassing at night abolished alone, the Council recommended that the Inter-fraternity conferences, both social and professional, use their prerogatives toward the "abolition of all institutions and customs which constitute the activities of he muni-iation period."
Any action taken by the Pan-Holocaic conferences will be in the nature of showing the good faith in which the Treatments adopted the recent ruling limiting the activities of the pre-institution groups of the several groups. There exists a belief in the minds of some students that the action that has been taken is the result of a fear of sterner regulation that might be imposed. An expression by the Greek letter organizations would show the extent to which the Men's Student Council is backed in their stand.
The Council resolution is no more than a request to the two Pan-Hellenic conferences. But it is important in that it shows which way the wind is blowing on the "baiting" question. The resolution may be passed over and forgiven. Yet it may prove to be the first of the definite steps which are necessary to rid campus life of what is considered one of its chief wrongs. If physical violence is ultimately abolished, then the governing bodies may be given credit for the most progressive legislation that has been carried out by students on this campus.
Pity poor Chicago. Not content to be known as the city of machine gun bundits, grung warfare, a brilliantly patriotic manger, a school system of which there is no equal in the United States, and the chief city of a national house ring, it has now been given the name of the "DIVORCE Center." Reno hasn't a chance any more.
CHICAGO VS. PARIS
As the star of one, empire sets over a far horizon there is always apparent above the ascendance of a new star. What we mean to say is, as Paris demands that one be a Frenchman or a Frenchwoman in order to get a divorce there; Chicago's only limitation is that one must be married.
It is, at the present time, economic to presage the disastrous economic effect of the ruling of the annuies French tribunal that in order to get a divorce in Paris, or France, one must actually take the first steps (award becoming a permanent fixture) in France.
Now it is no longer possible for wife) to get peeved at her husband, rush to Paris, and within a couple of weeks be free. And that means that the tourist trade in Paris will be cut in half (two are conservative).
"Big Bill" Thompson, however, seems to believe that American divorce should be kept at homes. And as the Paris divorce rate decreases, the McCook county rate is making a close race among the states for first place.
PITY THE DRINKING FOUNTAINS
I am a University drinking fountain.
Countless times each day pure, cool,
sparkling water comes gushing from my pipes to cool the thirsty mouth of some student or professor. On very hot days in the early fall and late spring it seems that I don't get a bit of rest, for almost every minute there is some one stopping to use me.
I could tell you many interesting things I have heard if I were but human and could speak, but being only a drinking fountain I have to go on
DR. H. H. LEWIS Optometrist
each day, gushing forth water when the liver is turned and siting idle when there are no mouths to fill. You may think my life is an easy one, but you don't realize the things have to put up with.
Practice limited to examination of eyes without dilatating, and fitting of glasses. 801 Mass. St. Phone 912 (Over Round Corner Drug Store)
Many students hurt me when they use me. Of course I'm not hurt in a physical way, but I do feel ashamed when so many people put their lips down on my shining mouth piece and get it dry. They seem to forget that is not proper and that the correct way to drink from a fountain is to place their lips in the water and not clear down on the spout.
Another thing many people do to me is make use of my bowl for a waste paper basket. I seem to be a good target for their bits of serum paper and they throw it at me. Every day there are some people who forget about their chewing gum and drop it in my bowl. I don't blame some people for turning their noses and passing on when they see several pieces of chewing gum on me.
And some people think that I have been installed merely as a chair or learning place. At times they lean so hard that I think I am going to have my pins bent.
You can hardly blame me for get-
ting stopped up some times or for
shooting water up in people's faces.
That is the only way I can get even
with people who mistreat me.
VISITOR ACCOMMODATIONS
The University has long been proud of the number of out-of-town people who visit the campus each week end, but in all these past years, these trips
have been, one might say, at the risk of the visitors. If they had friends in town they might sion with them to rest after the drive; if they didn't, they were unfortunate.
Many of these people have doubtless looked forward to the time when the lounge rooms of the Union building would be completed to afford a place to rest and remove the dusty or mudly traces of the trip. But a Union building that is closed on Sunday is useless to them.
It hardly seems fair that the numerous alumni of the University who gave the initial support to the memorial project should be deprived of the use of the building except at the time of Commencement or class reunions. Such a policy is leaving untouched a wide field that could be made to give up a good yield of good will for the University. Furthermore, the only opportunity most of these people have to visit the University is on a Sunday.
The reports of the beauty and usefulness of the Union which the Sunday visitors would carry away with them would encourage the payment of unpaid pledges. Most people dislike to put money into a project, the primary purpose of which is general usefulness, and then find that this purpose has not been realized.
What an encouraging indication of mental life on our campus it would be if every student who attends the convention May 1 in dedication of Spooner-Thayer museum could say that he had visited the building and had at least made a slight effort to appreciate the objects there.

GETTING READY FOR FINE ARTS DAY
The Rexall Store
Granted that much of the material in the museum is useless knickknacks, good for nothing but curiosity and least of all appreciated by persons who did not help to gather it and thus have no personal interest in it, there are many objects in Spooner-Thayer that are worthy of more than one visit.
ARTS DAY
Reinhold Niebuhr's book "Does Civilization Need Religion?" Reviewed Sunday at 11 by the minister of Unity Church, 12th and Vt. Sts. Students' forum at 10. Prof. Donald Marsh will review "Suicide" by Ruth Cavair.
The art gallery on the second floor contains a collection of paintings, stitches, and other works of art that attract visitors from many parts of Kansas, and represent several noted modern artists. The exhibits on the lower floor are among the floral of their class in the middle west.
Campus Opinion
"Plans for Future Duces," reads a bondline. It is not a new edition of Hoyle. Merely the Italianes figuring what they are going to do some day when Mussolini forgets to hold his head back and a fanatic's bullet will hit its mark.
F. B. McColloch
A Brooklyn painter was rewarded with a job and $1,500 for returning $2,000 he found in the street. Some people will cite this as an example of the reward of honesty. But somehow the $2,000 minus the job looks better to us.
The students of the University could pay no fine compliment to the memory of Mrs. Thayer, who gave the collection to the University, than to prepare themselves for the dedication address by visiting the building. An appreciation of the fine things that our campus has to offer might come with such a visit.

but few students on this campus who would not be in favor of an additional assessment of not more than three dollars if by that means we could teach them which we must point to as our contribution to our world war dead.
The University went through a drive ones. Those who remember it and whose knowledge of such. A drive can be made a horrible thing, it can bring an instrument to the individual who needs it, or it can send an ass to pledge amounts which they are unable to pay, with the result that the plaques made in the lab were lost.
To charge each student a sum of not more than three dollars each semester would inflict little hardship and in my calculation, would most assuredly be more satisfactory in every manner, than would a drive—H. T.
At the Concert
--from the moment Joey Llavevine, pianist sat down at his instrument and began to play until the end of his program he held his audience enchanted. The audience gave him encerce after encore in the hope that he would play some of the selections in the playing of it. He did not. It was not until the next to the last encore that he played the "Blue Danube Walk" which is in this category. His listeners could well believe that no one else could measure up to him in this for it traveled from his fingers with remarkable force.
Lievinen is without affection in his playing. He sits down before the piano and "plays." There is no body or head motion. His hands and arms do all the work. Most of his movements are performed by abductive curiosity and lightness of touch. Perhap the audience wondered what the effect would be if he cast off his restraint and played fortissimo to a while. At no time did he stand still, as there seemed all ways to be a great reserve which he did not touch.
Last night's program consisted of "Sonata-Osp. 55" by Boehring, a work which was performed by Martinez *B*. N. Medtner, and "Ungarsize Zirconierwesen (Gypian Are)" by Tautate, the first grip version of the next fast and exalted, and the last very fast. Glivev passes on the leading which mark him as a master.
His appearance is markedly Russian. A musy of curly hair crowns a sharp featured face, Liveline walks and walks a little stiffly. All his movements are synchronized with the artist begins to play. Then his music holds the entire attention.

The Negro professional man in america must be the larger bearer, under him the smaller. Considering the obstacles imposed on them, it is amazing that so many have them.

And a large part of the population, governed by prejudices of which it is unaware, would answer "No" and, turning to the back of the book would find that the stamped man as having racial
In the larger cities, brilliant Negro lawyers and singers, successful Negro surgeons and doctors, are no longer curious. But the Negro professional is far more diverse than the diaries of his own race, as well as those of the white people.
Many Negroes, accustomed to take the white man at his face value, insensuously accept his assumption of superiority in the professions, and refuse to treat them with respect to a lawyer, they prefer to intrust themselves to a white doctor or lawyer, although there may be Negro professional men who are much more likely to be negroes than Negroes ingrained in the Negro race as they are in the white race. It is commonly observed, in states which permit travelling Negroes to eat in the dining room, that Negroes routinely take occasion to slight and to insult in small ways the Negroes who venture in. The Negro waiters feel that the Negro dinner is "cutting on air" by eating in the dingar, and that occasion to show their pre-
