AN EXCELLENT JOB
Along with her beautiful college championship basketball teams, and famous Rock Chalk cheer, the University of Kansas has another institution of which she may justly be proud—the year book. The 1927 Jayhawker which appeared today, is an fine expression of the things for which this University stands so can be found anywhere.
Perlaps better than any former Jayhawk staff, the editors of the 1927 annual have managed to convey the impression that students at the University of Kansas are grateful not only to the school itself and the opportunities it offers, but also to the citizens of the state who have made possible the University and the 1927 Jayhawker. In dedicating the book to "The Spirit of Kansan" they have tried to express their appreciation and that of the entire student body.
In every respect, the new day's hawker in a commendable piece of work and the University can but be proud to be represented by this, the successor to the 1925 Jayhawk, champion of college annuals.
HOW ABOUT IT?
"I sent out only six invitations," said Roderick, "that's all the cremies I have."
Here it is, two weeks before the seniors are to graduate, and there has been no remarkable rush of graduation presents flooding the Lawrence post office.
There must be a reason back of this neglect on the part of the friends and families of the departing students just at this most important point of their careers. The one that seems most logical is that there have been no invitations sent out to warn these dear friends and relatives that the young genius is about to participate in a university commencement.
And back of this, there is the underlying fact that these invitations have failed to come—and back of that—they were not even ordered until a few weeks ago. Again we are not with that failure of man to do things until the last minute. These invitations should have been seen out before now, but because they haven't come, they will have to wait until a few days before graduation actually takes place.
We don't know whose fault it is. Maybe it's the committee's because they didn't order sooner. Maybe it's the engraver's because they aren't putting out their work fast enough, or maybe it's the seniors' for not complaining sooner. Anyway, about four hundred seniors would like to have their invitations to send out.
BEWARE—THE DOTTED
LINE
"He cannot quit his job" reads a headline in a morning paper. It is an insignificant little item buried on page six and was probably noticed by only a few, yet there is something in it which might be well worth reading for every university senior in particular, and something which we all would do well to think about.
It referred to an account of a cult brought by a dry-grooved company in Kansas City against a certain Mr. Ballard, who had signed a contract
with the company to the effect that he would in their behalf as salesman for a definitely specified period of time. It seems, however, that this same Mr. Ballard, after working a while for the said company, decides that he would rather work for another one. The various and sundry reasons for his desire to change were not disclosed, but that doesn't matter, since the dry-produce company felt otherwise about it, and obtained a temporary in function against the salesman.
That is all there was to the story, but said as it may seem, beethoven, if the injunction is sustained, men may have to work whether they want to or not. If the case proves out it might also be mentioned that it looks as if another one of the old proverbs has been debunked. You can not only lend a horse to water these days but you can also make him drink.
A little more is needed, really, to come the mother and a few others as well. Hereforemost of them have hovered under the protecting wing of mother and dad, or, if they did wander out into the world and were unsuspectingly caught up, they always had the legal, though sometimes bumilizing, status of "infant" to fall back upon. But now both of these are gone and they are full-fledged men and women, subject to all the "due process" of Iowa. When they put their name on a piece of paper and agree to work it means that the chances are pretty good that they will, whether they feel like it or not later on. This is something worth thinking over before signing on the dotted line—and so, seniors, beware.
EXIT THE MOTORMAN
"Radio to Run Street Cars" reads a broadcast in this morning's Kansas City Times. An experiment was conducted in Kansas City this afternoon to see if a small key on a portable radio set could operate a string of street railway cars.
The inventing wizard who is responsible for this experiment has already caused an Essex sedan to move backward and forward, sound the horn and turn the lights on and off but today provides a real text for his invention.
According to the inventor previous trials with the street car have been successful. The experiments with the motor car were witnessed by more than a thousand people.
The success of the experiment will, no doubt, send the totally motorman and the truck driver hunting new jobs.
AND YET WE CRAB
Universities are largely made up of chronic crubbers. Students seem to consider crabbing one of the higher forms of art. He who can find the most to crab and complain about in he who must surely and inevitably "belong."
One might put in a few interesting moments wondering what it is they find to crab about. Of course there are always lessons and quizzes and term papers. And in addition there is the weather, dates, allowances, and food, all of which make up delightful tones to cuss and discuss, or in other vortex, to crab about.
A few more interesting thoughts might be spender wondering what students would do if they really did have something to worry about.
The green woods and trickling streams in the window displays are a much as many of these city people will use of the beckoning out-door reorts. They work in stuffy offices all week, waiting for Saturday afternoon or Sunday, when perhaps they will go beyond the city limits for a bike, or an afternoon's drive. Then daylight finds them back at their desk.
If they were clerks and stenographers in a large city during the spring season, they would have some groundwork for compiling of their fate. Vivid blue skies and bright sunshine finds these city clerks looking longingly at display windows where hunting outfits, tennis rackets, and smart hiking togs are displayed for the fortune pleasure-hunter.
The most grippy crabbers among college students are the ones who have summer vacations at a lake-side, in the mountains, or abroad, to look forward too. Many students will work

Those who remain in Kannas belong mostly to small towns, where the country and its pleasures are near at hand every day.
Even now while still in Lawrence,

hiking, driving and swimming,
with plenty of time to do it in, are
continuity at their disposal. And yet
they crab.

Editorials From Other Hills
Will the Peace Last?
Although the Liberal party, headed by Dr. Jann Sassani, will probably receive little power in the reorganization of the Nicaraguan government, it is in he hoped that the Liberals will submit passively to the peace agreement until next year when the government promises a fair election.
But a year is a long time to wait in Nicaragua and the Liberals may search for and find an opportunity to rebel again. If they do stand by peacefully, however, it is a sacred trust of the United States to see that they are given an equal chance at the rolls in 1928.

It is doubtful whether the feelings of all the revolutionists were appeased by the address today of Henry L. Stimpson, President Coolidge's personal representative, who told them that our country's action in forcing them to disband was not prompted by any desire to assure the Conservatives of continued power; nor did he make making certain supervised elections in 1928 in which both factions would have an equal chance.
Twenty-two representatives of fraternities in California met recently to draw for preferred fraternity house sites.
The Liberal array of NiCraniarug disbanded today and that little Central American country which has witnessed so many conflicts in the last few years once more is in a state of more or less pence.
On Other Hills
It does not reflect to the credit of our great nation which won its freedom by taking up arms against England that the revolutionary group in Nicaragua should be forced to take over the army by 3000 United States marines.
At Cornell University recently 58 persons were elected to Phi Beta Kappa, one faculty member, 10 graduates, 32 seniors, and 16 juniors.

More than 60 per cent of the mechanical power used by American industry is applied through electric motors. But the electrification of the tasks performed by man power has hardly begun. Electric power not only saves dollars; it conserves human energy for better purposes and raises standards of living. College men and women may well consider how electricity can lessen the burdens of industry and of farm and home life.
