Entered as second-class mail matter September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence Kansas, under the act of March 8, 1897 TUESDAY. MAY 3. 1927 WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH K. U.? In answer to the crying need for thousands of dollars for the work of caring for thousands of homeless flood victims in the lower regions of the Mississippi valley, the University of Kansas has done nothing. Every time the Glee Club wants to take a trip, or Tau Sigma needs some cash for its treasury, or the Dramatic Club needs a new curtain, some sort of a play or concert is given for these healthy babies to carry on their work. But in this case, when great suffering is going on in the sister states, nothing is done. People remark about the trouble that they are having in the south and there it ends. Every week-end hundreds of dollar are spent for the purpose of having a good time, but is a penny spent for the purpose of relieving the suffering of many in this great catastrophe? Here is a chance for some of the high strung talent on the stage and some of the golden-throated Glee club members to offer a service that is something beyond selfish needs. Snap out of it, K. U., and help the Red Cross carry on in the southern fields. Do something worthwhile for a great human cause. Roderick has abandoned his home in the Mississippi Valley. "Td rather walk out than he poured out," said he. FLOATING FINALS After the Dove debate is over, for the sake of absolute fairness there should be a debate concerning the abolition of the Hawk. Reports from the S. S. Ryndam college ship tell of finals for the students on the University Afloat. Greek verbs are being conjugated to the roll of the ship and a chemistry formula pops into one student's head as a large wave jaws against the boat. One can cut examinations, the report continues, without jumping overboard, and since it is a little early for the bathing season, no attempts have been made thus far. All evening entertainment has been suspended for the week, and evenings are spent cramping in the bunks or pacing decks memorizing material for the next morning's examinations. Having been afloat for almost a year, the students probably are oblivious to the slithering of their pens or the external aid to the digestion of their breakfasts as they deposit the year's college facts on paper. Fortune leadership was displayed in the fact that there was no review examination at the beginning of the floating term. Mal de mere is not conducive to A papers. After examinations a commencement ceremony will be held on the high sails for the first time on record. The docking on May 2 probably will be made with some regrets for the first and last co-educational school afloat. For next year only men will matriculate in the buoyant university and much more will be accomplished and much less will be learned. Qit Land to Save City," says a newspaper headline. That's what most of us farmer boys up here at the University are trying to do. THE MAELSTROM Eight long semesters of concentrated work are required for the completion of a degree on Ml. OrgD. This necessitates eight sets of mid-semester courses. And, cruel fate, each semester finds student activities and class work becoming more complex. Instead of having a chance to procure a job and plan his career, the Senior is swept into the m歇顿m action and carried on through Commencement week and out into the world without definite plans for the future. Outside readings and term papers, together with campus activities, have kept him employed to the exclusion of contemplation on life's problems. The last few weeks of his college life are spent in cramming for exams, that regardless of past records, may be a bain to graduation if they are not passed satisfactorily. The Senior has no opportunity to cast about and to prepare for the fulfillment of his plans of a future career. Every effort is concentrated on his degree and he thenaps up the first job he can get, expecting to give it up and find his work at some later time. But, alas, it does not always work out as he had hoped it would. The maestro of life catches him and he goes on struggling for a living, and the position that might have been his fades into a dream. The University can help the senior by eliminating final examinations and their attending worries for those students who have had satisfactory records previous to the last semester. This period of comparative freedom to mediate and plan may be the difference between a wasted life and a successful career. Doctor Durant was too arbiterary in limiting the number of great thinkers to ten. The last issue of the Dove lists eight individuals as members of its editorial board. How many sides there are to a question depends upon how many persons are interested in it. THE PIN GAME What is this pin game, anyway? It's more than a fad, for it has lasted through the years, ever since the first fraternity man pinned his pin on each of his lady-loves in turn. Word comes from the University of Nebraska, via the New Student, that one sorrority is quite disturbed over the fact that three of its members do not have some man's fraternity pin. They seem to feel that a such a dethief of pine indicates a lack of the desired ruch. They are actually ashamed. The impression given was that any woman would smack the first bit of Greek metal shot into her face, rather than go unpinned. It would be interesting to gather similar data concerning the percentage of sorority women at the University of Kansas who have some manly pin locked with their own. Conditions almost as depressing as those at Nebraska might be revealed. For it is known that in several houses, the woman who is "different" is the one who wears no fraternity man's pin. But the best of this statistical dope would be computed from the percentage of these pin-engagements which eventually terminate in marriage. Yes, they really call it an engagement, although it isn't often designated for what they are engaged. Now, statistics are heart-rending things. More interesting material might be gathered concerning the number of pins each so-called engaged woman has worn during her career on the campus, and also how many other women have at one time worn the pins which are now "out" on some fair young thing. Every day or so, the word goes around that some couple has "broken up," and that He has his pin back. The campus amiles, and interestedly watches to see where the pin will next go to rest. And so the game goes on. In college circles, an engagement, and an engagement to be married, are often considered two entirely different things. The former is merely an engagement to date each other ex- clusively, until one or the other tires of the arrangement, and then the engagem- agement is off. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN VOL.

TELL IT TO THE MARINES The United States Marines are forced to suffer slurs from gobs who object to shipboard discipline, from soldiers jealous of the leatherworks' reputation, and from numerous more well-intentioned critics; but there is one part of the corps which is never spoken of except with praise. That is the Marine Band, from the leadership of Captain William H. Santelmann has resigned after more than twenty-five years of service. In the most difficult of classical compositions as well as in the stirring marches of John Phillip Sousa, one of its early leaders, this band has shewn to advance under the captain's leadership. Its programs always have had popular appeal without resort to popularity-catching tricks. Now that the captain has retired, we may "Tell it to the marianas" the corps is losing one of its finest officers. Taylor Branson, who picks up the captain's button, has a high mark to reach in following Captain Santemelin. Roller skates have been banned from theaters at Indiana university. On Other Hills The University of Wisconsin has expelled one man from school, for taking a reserve book from the reading room of the library. Faculty and students of the University of Southern California have pronounced the honor system a failure. A substitute is being sought. Experiments made at the University of Minnesota show that large classes are instructed more effectively and efficiently and that there are fewer failures in proportion to the number of students. If the size of dollars can be saved the University if the size of classes is increased, it is suggested. VICTORY GARAGE 122-624 Mass.

UNIVERITY TRAVEL AIRLINE 282 Winston Ave. New York City --at At The Concert BY JOHN DAVELY --at Pearl Anderson received an enthusiastic approval for her recital last night. There was no song that was not well received, and two of her numbers "Avo Maria" by Bruch and the final "Me Company Along" brought forth particularly enthusiastic romance. Miss Anderson has a pleasing quality of voice, and has the power to properly use k. Her voice shows as much possibility of development as any that has been heard from the School of Fine Arts this year. The tenor was an extraordinary temperament to properly appreciate the songs which she sang. PROFESSIONAL CARDS DR. H. R.
