PROBES AND INVESTIGATIONS
It is amusing to watch congress start probes and special congressional investigations when something really happens. The trouble with congress is, that something really does happen before it starts a probe or investigation.
It was only after months of investigating that members of the senate began to realize that Smith and Vare had spent thousands of dollars for seats in the senate. It has been more than six years since the Tenport Dome changed hands in one of the greatest public scandals known to the American people. Still, the participants are at liberty and are fighting in the courts with every scheme known to the profession of law to escape punishment.
Congress continues to investigate With Admiral Thomas Mugrower's charges of over-organization in the uny forgotten, congress now starts a probe of the sinking of the submarine S-4. It is a pity that 40 men had to die before congress could heed the need of reorganizing the nacy. The navy department needs something more than just probes. It needs men who can devise means of saving lives, as well as give commands to kill.
Again, congress has waited until American lives have been lost before investigating. It seems that few congressmen or senators knew that American marines were stationed in Nicaragua. At any rate, some of them are anxious to have an investigation to determine why American lives have been lost, and why the marines are in Nicaragua.
Probes and investigations are getting very popular with congress; but a little foreigner would be better.
THE NEW ART
The new class schedules are now being distributed. A careful佩佩 shows that the oldest of the arts, the one in which more of the women of the University are interested than they are in any other, has again failed to obtain recognition by the faculty.
Yet this art which the faculty refuses to put into the curriculum is in active use by at least 90 per cent of the Hill's women who actively participate as devotees, as do many of the feminine members of the faculty.
With all its widespread use the results obtained by most of the artists are terrible. When most of them get through their result resembles a baboon with a bad complexion.
In case the gentle reader has not yet guessed just what this art is which is so barely prostituted by its users and neglected by the faculty, it is that of face painting, sometimes known as "umake-up."
Men of Kansas! Are you to continue sapinly regarding this parade of frightfulness which is forced upon you day by day? Rise in your right-coat wrench and demand that the faculty either teach your weak sisters that a splopup of barn paint on each cheek and a "catstupy" looking mouth do not constitute real beauty, or bar such frightfulness from the sacred environs of the Hill.
THINGS ARE DIFFERENT NOW
NOW
Thirty years ago during the winter months the University of Kansas man would hire a horse and sleigh from one of the many Lawrence livestock. Then in a buoyant manner he would drive to the home of his fair lady. Upon his knock at the door she would appear clad in a countless array of woolen clothes, so that the coldest wind on Mount Orcad would not be able to give her the slightest chill.
Our University man would escort the young lady to his shed, and there cover her with blankets and robes. With a yell at the horse and a crack of the whip, the couple would ride around the streets of Lawrence at breakneck speed. Lawrence residents would hear the couple's shouting and act just as they do now; hold their hands up in horror to wonder what this speed-mad world was coming to. At the heatenham hour of 9 o'clock the young lady would coply remark that it was getting late and she must go home. Thus the wild evening would end.
But now things are slightly different. Instead of the horse and high-running sled, we find an automobile and a long bob-sled capable of holding six or seven couples. Clad in riding trousers and boots, with a heavy skippin coat as the last outer protection against cold and wind, the coated appears for her sled ride. The party consists of a number of such couples. There are probably too many for all to ride on the sled; some have to remain in the car and await their turn.
Out on the Fort-to-Fort highway at 40 or 50 miles an hour, back in town yelling and screening—so goes the ride. A corner is suddenly turned and with various shouts and screams the riders find themselves piled in a snowrift. None the worse for their experience, they hurriedly board the sled and start again.
In the early morning hours someone suggests a bite to eat and the crowd goes down to one of the local restaurants, there to drink coffee and eat warm-producing foods. Out again for a short ride and back to bed for a short sleep before the 8:20 class.
FOR THE LAST TIME
Soon the senior class, the excelled graduates of 1928, will enroll in the University for the last time. They are entering their last semester as students. Once again, they will enroll in this semp course and in that course because the instructor simply donated a "B" to their transcript. What class hasn't?
The class of 1928 is in no way different from any of their predecessors. They have accomplished much and have failed to grasp many opportunities. They have contributed to and sacrificed for their University. What class would not do as much?
On the fourth of June, the academic precession will wind its way down the hill into the stadium. This body will have accomplished its goal. They will be plucking the fruits of four years' labor. In the popular conception, they are students no longer.
What is the purpose of any institution of higher learning if it is not to enable each individual to carry on research and educational work in later life? Any university should equip the student better to understand everything that goes on about him. Can he do this without being a student? He must study his country, his government, his fellow-men, and his universe.
In reality, though, they are just embarking on their career as students of life.
Man's experience on earth has been a continual fight to overcome the elements of Nature. With his brain he has evolved many schemes to conquer the elements. Some have been partly successful, others have only hurried him on to his grave.
This University will be proud of his government, his fellow-men, and to study and learn.

As a writer of critiques, the Kansan dramatic critic places himself in the same category to which he assures the member of The Times of London, receiving recital Wednesday evening. In a third of a column of bold assertion in the Daily Kansei he attempts to destroy what the sisters of the dancing sorcerer have taught him in praise for his follow township (the word is used advisedly) and former playmate, if one may take his own remarks seriously, and unsupported afire for these less unfortunate. In his own promsocial promenade without pity,
Manails upon the seas with uncertain safety, he penetrates the north with difficulty, he sails through the air with uneasiness, and stands before a volcano helpless. Like his predecessor, man rights with band, foot and brains for his existence. His efforts are feeble and seldom obstruct Nature in her great work.
He speaks of the performance in the light of comparison to hinted on experience with each thing, and yet points out no channels for improvement. He says "practice, girls, practice." He appears distinctly denounces the recital in
Still more recent has been the cold blizzard from the north. Like a great avalanche, it has suddenly gripped the greater part of the United States, leaving in its path more than 60 persons dead and many thomands in sore distress.

ENGLISH MAJORS:
Editor Daily Kansan:
terms which are spectacular only because they are so blatantly unmouth and boorish. If the writer of the Kanzen column is a qualified critic, he will be a public with a critics bordering sufficiently close upon technicality to remove any doubts to his ability from the reader's mind. When he wrote about the lives of the women they were all mad at each other" one wonders at what institute he himself may have studied dancing, or at what degree he was trained in the use of English.
Perhaps the advance notice of the affair in the Auditorium was a bit blurred. A certain young man in a newspaper office downtown, who wrote the play, broadly shouldered to take the blame. If the dancing the lightning effects were not such as might graze a Follies stage Mr. Ziegfeld would have been guilty. Any contracts out to Lawrence, Kansan. The critique itself is a poor imitation of George Jean Natham's products, and will probably cause that individual no worry about his chances of employment in his present emancipation.
Considering the charge of fifty cents I (let me borrow the first person singular from the Kansan verb) asked him if he was even better dancing somewhere else myself, but I if remember the occasion, I paid more than half a dollar for the privilege. If Tau Sigma was wrong about his audience beyond its ability to satisfy, the error was but a natural one and by no means a new one. Pike's Peak appears more sublime in its pictures with its natural status to the new observer.
I suppose that 37 of the young ladies who offered their time and energy in the recital are University students, going through their period on campus. If they were capable of giving finished performance in their field of expression, their attendance at the university was worthwhile. The critic is also a student in the University. He is a student in the department of journalism, and I suppose, hopes somebody to be able to teach him how to write the sisters in Tau Sigma, is a worthy objective. However, until that goal is more certainly achieved then it now is, he might appropriately timetrain, give his lecture, or mount a retaint. The weapon of sarcasm is an unwieldy one, although pleasing to the eye, and as it apt to erase the skull of the amateurist user as it is marked where hopefully,敛
At least the dancers of Tau Sigma were sincere in their efforts to please.
