Advertising Done Without Permission of Women in Jayhawker Contest
Advertising placed in the University Daily Kansan and the Lawrence Daily Journal-World announcement that the 1928 Jayhawk Beauty Queen Biography stage of the Bowersock theater this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday was done without the knowledge or cement of the women concerned, according to the opinion expressed in interviews with the 22 candidates yesterday.

These opinions were expressed in a meeting of the 28 candidates, and in 4 in the office of the dean of women.

Conciliation Committee Proposed for Solution of Nicaraguan Dispute

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1928
(United Press)
Havana, Cuba, Feb. 6.—Nicarguan politicians attending the Pan-American convention were soseming sentiment regarding a Pan-American coonlination commission
Charles E. Hughes, the chief United States delegate, would be chairman of the commission. The importance of the plan would be that other reps should also participate at the present the United States intervention is on its own responsibility

Instructors Mark Poorly
California Professor Surveys Grading Systems
---
Berkley, Calf, Feb. 6.—Here's solace for Johnny when he brings home a poor report card.
The teacher, according to no less authority than Giles M. Ruch, professor of education at the University of California, may be wrong.
If Johnny will quote Professor Ritch he may escape a wooded scene, but if he does not, the teacher might give an examination paper a good grade and another mark.
In an experiment tried with 115 teachers, he found that the markings for the same subject were the same from 30 to 25 per cent of perfect. That was on an examination in history, but in the exact sciences they were the same. In the viewpoints of the tutors.
He declared that the same algebra paper obtained marks ranging from as low as 28 per cent to as high as 92 per cent.
Professor Ruh advocated the "new type" of examination as a remedy to that condition. The "true-false" type of examination, as well as the multiple-response, matching and similar types of test, can eliminate the personal element which enters the actual type of examination he believed.
And in addition, the professor declared, it has been found that any examination is a very limited sampling of what the student knows.
Tea Nearly Completes Club's Scholarship Fund
"I discovered that under the essay type of examination the pupil who is asked to 'discuss in full' a given topic will only write what he knows, but he actually knows, as later ascertained by searching questioning," he said.
The University Women's Club has raised about $85 of the $100 scholarship for women which it awards yearly. $2.50 was raised at the Women's College scholarship team here, in the basement of Student-Thaver.
The University Women's Club is composed of instructors in the women's instructionators. The scholarship was established and the award is made in May of each year.
