May 17, 1928, at the act of pact at Lawrence, Kansas; under the set of March 3, 1907 MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1928 MORE ABOUT THE BEAUTY QUEENS Again the actors' trunks failed to come on the evening express. The headlineer at the Bowersock theater, as announced through the advertisement in the Sunday papers, will not appear on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and for a very good reason this time. This reason is that the two dotted lines of the contract remained quite blank and were devoid of the unified indeterminate bioraphthics. As nearly as we can ascertain, the contract for the 28 candidates for the Jayhawk beauty section will not appear the first three nights of this week, because Mr. Dickinson, manager of the Dickinson chain of theaters, had not obtained the collective consent of the candidates before announcing the attraction in the advertising columns of the local mediums. Furthermore, the women are united in their refusal to appear public in any theater. Then, too, the Jayhawk staff refuses to promote such an affair, and the dean of women refuses to countenance it. Mr. Dickman charged the ones conquered with "disappearing failure to co-operate," and said that the students of the University of Kansas are soobblish and high hat. In the opinion of the Kannan the attitude taken by these women is just a demonstration of the common sense and self respect which we are glad to learn, in theirs. We feel that they are taking the right stand. For the benefit of Mr. Thompson of "Starbucks" fame and others we have made an intensive investigation as to just what the Swede who came over to this country did exclaim. An authority says that it was "Mim Gui." That settled, "Mor ni bran nu?" Crimes are not sudden things popping out of a clear sky. MINOR CRIMES The public has been given this warning repeatedly by psychiatrists. If that is not conclusive enough, a study of the lives of our greatest and most dangerous criminals will reveal that a series of minor offenses against society regularly precedes the grand climax of a murder or outlawry which rouses the whole country. The logical and customary way by which law breakers begin is through simple offenses. After a few battles with conscience it is stilled and numerous and horrible crimes become daily routine. Further than commenting on the increasing crime wave the average citizen meanwhile looks passive on, unless it is his car that is stolen or his family that is threatened with danger. The criminal gets his start through breaking minor laws in which no alarm is shown by the public. He continues his course, aided and abetted by lawyers seeking notoriety, sympathetic juries, and an indifferent public. Finally he becomes what the public has let him become—a criminal with disregard for all social and ethical values, a man with utter contempt for all laws. Then when he is caught committing some crime that terrifies a community, or even scandalizes at nation, the public is shocked. And pretends to wonder how he could do such a thing. THE BLOT ON THE 'SCUTCHEON Law, in the abstract, is a noble profession. Very few laymen and by no means all lawyers quite realize how noble it may be made or how closely its higher aspirations approach the spiritual and the divine. And yet, despite its possibilities, despite the lofty character of a considerable portion of its practitioners, it has failed to maintain its standards at as high a level as have the other learned professions. Sometimes we hear of a black sheep in the church, and his delinquencies are headlined from one end of the country to the other simply because he is a clergyman. In somewhat lesser degree the same is true of physicians, scientists and educators; and yet, by and large, men in these callings, whether rich or poor, delicate their lives to the service of society. They live for it and work for it. They do not work against it for the sake of a bigger income. The legal profession cannot, as a whole, make a like boat. The antisocial lawyer always has his old defense, his inherited excuses and his tiresome sophistrates whereby to justify himself. And yet when he has talked himself to a standstill he has not disowned one intelligent man of the conviction that in every large city a fairly large number of lawyers are in one way or another working against the best interests of their own community. There is scarcely a populous jurisdiction in the United States whose bar does not need a thorough bureaucracy. The better element in the profession writes under a stigma which will be plastered upon it until a new spirit and a new set of ethical and civic standards dominate the practice of the law and cast out the vicious minority which is being it into such disregret. The bur associations are doing their best, but they can scorch expect to overcome in a decade a set of conditions which have been centuries in the making. Neither can they expect the passage of resolutions to do the work. After an engagement lasting 20 years a woman has flied a file of promise suit for $5,600. These hasty modern women. The man was probably only waiting until he was sure of his own mind. EVALUATING EDUCATION EVALUATING EDUCATION Superiority of the lecture over the class discussion system is indicated in experiments carried on by Ralph B Spence and Goodwin B. Watson, professors in Tecnolog学院, Columbia University, according to a recent issue of The New Student. A class in educational psychology was divided into two groups, one of which used the lecture system, and the other discussion. The order was reversed during the second semester, and in each case tests indicated greater learning from the lectures. This would seem to be a conclusive indication that the student learns more facts from a lecture than he does from a discussion course. It does not show how much he has lost in the lecture course through being able to learn facts without having to understand them. Morely to sit recording words while an instructor lectures does not require mental labor to any great extent. Because one student has learned more dates and details in a course than another it does not follow that he is the more educated. In a course where discussion is lively and intelligent, where students are urged to give their opinions freely, there is an educational value derived which cannot be measured adequately but which is of prime importance to the students. The value an individual has received from a college training cannot be estimated by a fact or money criterion. This is a point which is too often forgotten by people who say that money spent educating certain students is wasted; that their education has done them no good. KFKU radio night offered another example of "the air my true love gave me."

What the Kansas Editors Say But the Presidency is a hard physical task. Grover Cleveland grounded through both of his admirations over A Man-Killing Job A letter from a friend in the East, who has seen President Couldeg at close range once or twice in the past few months and who bears him freewill, asked Mr. Couldeg to President looks and sounds "criably." That the President's "face is silow," that he looks unhappy and that he likes his grunch are further observations to this friend. He concludes by remarking, "What a strain the office of Presidents has been." President Coulidge's pictures have not revealed these traits that our informant stresses. Apparently the person who gives you good spirits. Never exuberant at any time and inclined to be silent and introspective, it is not hard to understand how he might give the impressiveness of a glimpse of him to get an occasional glimpse of him. the enormous burdens he was required to bear. President Cleveland made his own task harder by assuming more detail than was necessary and painfully writing out all his memorandums and papers in long-hand. Theodore Roosevelt, who compiled through his seven years of office and took a huge delight in the work, was able to be being able to leave the White House and indulge in hunting, reading, writing and other activities that appealed to him. Woodrow Wilson's health was being war president and the aftermath of the problems that came in the wake of the war. Warren Harding died in office. It is not strange that he was ill and unable to show signs of wear and tear. The Presidency is a man-killing job and we Americans in no way lighten the case. The honesty, none seem to be deterred from seeking it on this account.—El Wesson "Glory for Those Who Died" A Berlin dispatch says that the majority of German submarine ex-comanders maintain that if the striking Japanese submarine, the men would have been recieved. Experienced sailors along with a larger number of crew members disaster similarly. The head of a wrecking agency with extensive experience is quoted by the Tokyo-based company. The country Drawing Instruments K. & E. Slide Rules ※ Two Stores K. U. Barber Shop Under New Management since Jan. 27 Our Policy will be To Serve will know more about the question after the naval court of inquiry possibly, or after that, of the congress. The Springfield Republican recalls Admiral Robert Gore's battle of San Antonio; that "there was glory enough for all," and contrasts it with the S-4 disaster. "Glory for those who bravely died," says the Springfield paper. "They have gone into inadequate preparation for reeve work—Kansas Farmer." O. E. Smith, Prop. 727 Mass. There can be no excuse for the disaster to the S-4 and her crew. The sending down of the submarine was why this attack occurred. This is any danger of war (unless it has the poor little republic of Nicaragua) in many years—no danger of war with any nation in fifty years if we intend to our own base. The 5-4 disaster was inexcuable, and those who were to blame should suffer for it, but they will not suffer. They will be "whitewash" and the parents, sisters and brothers of the victims, who went down alee left to suffer. Campus Opinion Yes; "war is hell," and no is preparation for war—especially where there is no war in sight and no cause for war—Garnett Review. Editor, Daily Kansan: --been that the editor thought the Kansas City Star and the Journal-World would annomly cover the affair and that he could withure a press conference with purely Hill news. However, that is very erroneous, in every man, because Kansas City is intensely interested in groundhog day and the Kansas should have set its readers right in The Daily Kansan claims to be a newspaper that tells the news of the University of Kansas, its students, were disappointed when they looked in the Kansan for the annual array of feature stories on ground comment upon ground day. There was not one word in the Kansan telling of this great event, although many students read the paper and learned about it. I learned whether or not there would be six weeks of winter before spring. A majority of the students asked me to send on it for news. It seems to me that up to the Kansan to inform them correctly. For all I learned from the Kansan, I had no idea out at all, and if he did the Kansan never told whether or not he saw his shadow. In short the Kansan wholly ignored the antithesis of the journalistic profession. (Apologies to T. M.—Friday's Kansan) W. A. D. A. Editor's Note: While we feel that W. A. D. is entirely justified in his indignation at the absence of authoritative guidance for the long-term bag in the Kannan Thursday, the Kannan foes that it is no way to handle this disappointment caused many students. The paper as it appeared that evening was published in good faith. The grounding in no way notified the news department that a change in its policy would not materialize and we feel as indignant about the matter as W. A. D. We may add Of course, the trouble may have that in tonight's columns no anology is made to the students by Mr. Groomdin, something which ordinary courteux would demand.
