THE GRADS COME BACK
MONDAY, APRIL 25, 1927
All through the year the old grade drift back for various college functions. No matter how long ago they graduated, there is always a strong tie, a lure of the old college days which draws them back to the campus.
True, all their old pals are gone, and even after a year's absence there are few familiar faces. But the old buildings look like home and the new ones make the campus more attractive. There are always some of the instructors left who are gird to see their students come back and to know what they are accomplishing in the world at large.
Some are successful and some are not, but whatever their fate in the world of business, there remaining in the heart of every University good, the tenderest memories of the old days when he trailed light and carefree across old Mount Oread.
FILIPINO FREEDOM
The Intelligenstein: I hate capitalists.
They are fat and greedy, and take brand from the workingman's family.
I have seen their pictures in the New Masses.
The few who attended the program last Friday night at the Coperniciol House were impressed with the heartfelt sincerity of the Filipino plan for independence. Fullly appreciating the blessings that the United States has brought to the archipelago, the students emphasized the fact that it is human nature to desire freedom. Love of liberty and national patriotism can no more be taken from them than from native Americans.
The Philippines were promised their independence as soon as stable government could be established. That point has been reached. At the present time the islands elect their own native legislature, and five out of the six departmental heads are native Filipinos. In fact, the supreme court is today the only branch of the insular government in which Americans still form a majority.
Those who object to Philippine independence on the grounds that the islands would soon become a prey to some foreign power, should be informed that among the thirty-six nations with absolute freedom, the Philippines would be thirteenth in rank according to population. (There are twelve million inhabitants). The danger is further lessened when it is realized that Japanese are unable to thrive in the islands. For this reason, the Japanese market has gradually dropped to one-fourth its former influence.
Two definite methods for protection of the islands have been suggested. First, the United States, the mother country, should be willing to retain protection over her foster child even though it were to become of age and assert its own independence. But President Coolidge and others have asserted that "protection without authority is folly." In that case, one other means of protection would be left: the League of Nations.
Whatever the outcome of Philippine freedom, American dominance would not be lost. The United States would rule forever in the hearts of a grateful people.
SH-H-H-H-
Regardless of how much the most careless of students have played around and waited time than far in the semester, the time has come when it is necessary to "buckle down" and work with all possible concentration and effort to come out ahead in the race that is so rapidly drawing to a close.
In Watson hall the tables are always well filled these days, and appearances indicate that a great deal of library reading is being done. And there is nowhere an atmosphere so conducive to study nor a place so convenient for work as the library, when the ordinary rules of courtesy are observed.
But there is nothing so disconcerting as to make up your mind really to settle down to work, get your book and get comfortably situated, and then have two young women, a man and his date or two men students, drop into the chairs opposite you and start a long detailed conversation about their latest dates, the next party or the style of clothes worn on the Hill. If people would confine these little social chats to the halls it would greatly facilitate study, and the conversations are really nicer when car-
"I see," said Bill Jones, glancing up from the evening paper, "where these Chinka are chasing each other in circles and raising Cain with business over in China. Guess Cal and Kollogg are letting them have their little fun, but when Uclan Sam and Johnny Pall get enough of that foolishness they'll send in a few soldiers and give these Chinamen a lesson they won't forget. Yer sir."
So saying, Bill lit a cigar and turned to the sporting section.
author of the spelling.
There are thousands of Bill Joneses in this country who glance at the headlines and the headline they are on reading the stories. There are the first, when war threatens, to grab a flag and wave it. When men who have studied developments from the first, counsel moderation and arbitration, the Bill Joneses bow them down. More than one country has been rushed into a war by an unformed public opinion.
The ignorant mob wants action; it wants revenge. It sees one small unrelated incident and does not know all that has gone before. The mob furishes a fertile field for the imperialist, the sensationalist and the propagandist. An enlightened, fully informed public makes it impossible for a country to entangle itself before the evidence has been carefully weighed and sifted.
If Sapio wins, Ford is going to lose that 6 cents he won from the Chicago Tribune a few years ago.
EDUCATION FOR LIBERALS
Student bodies, in the Middle West especially, are inclined to be liberal and progressive. They are not usually so when they first arrive at college, but contacts with broad minded students, faculty members and outside influences tend to make them so, although here and there an iron-chad conservative comes through the four years unchanged.
But what becomes of these liberals after their graduation? Back in the old environment half of them backslide and become even more narrow minded than they formerly were. Of the rest, half continue to be broadminded, privately, but not openly. They don't dare. Half of the rest set about affecting the desired changes in a gradual manner, in order not to alarm the Herd. And the remainder, half go after the changes using whatever weapons they can find, and are either praised or cursed in accordance with the way they strike the public fancy.
The fact that a college education is wasted on over half those who attempt to acquire it has caused many intelligent people to wonder whether it would not be better to junk the whole business. Others seem to think that the few who are benefited more than make up for the rest and that eventually the little leaven supplied by the few will leave the whole lump.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SOCIETY:
GILES MITCHFLL, President.
At the Concert BY JOHN SHIVELY
The orchestra was the weakest part of the performance. On the whole it did good work, but many times several of the individual members lacked the alertness that even amateurs should have. Considering the difficulty of assembling a symphony, however, these slips must be overlooked and the whole effect considered.
The regular meeting of the Christian Science Society of the University of Kansas will be held at 7:30 Tuesday evening in Myers hall.
The solo parts were on the whole well sung. Miss Peabody above showed little of the effects of her recent illness, and gave an inadequate presentation. Her hair was a blonde hair and recessives with feeling, although he seemed to have some difficulty with his high tones. Mrs. Moncrief did her part beautifully, especially the "He Was Dewishead." Mr. Sperling sang with dignity and accuracy.
A large crowd testified last night that "The Messiah" is becoming more firmly established as aah institution of the University. Under the guidance of Dean Swarthout this annual program has included a partial part of the Music Week Festival.

Ethel Fae Buckle, A. B. 22, is dietician at the St. Luke's hospital in Kansas City, Mo.
The chorus, which is always the center of attraction, was flexible to the leadership of its director, and was powerful when the occasion deserved it. He said that he was parent in "Bebel the Lamb of God," "Surely He Hath Borne Our Grief," and "Since by Man Came Death." In the last of these some beautiful singing without accompaniment was performed, and Mr. deur in the "Hallhuitja" and the mighty "Amen." In the latter part bore its share in the contrapuntal passages effectively. And then there was the dignified "And the Glory of the Lord," the praises chorus, and the artistic "Left Up Your Heads."
--not been offered for at least two years.
More male voices could be effectively used in the chorus. While Dean Swartborn obtained good balance in chord effects, the need of more men, especially in the tenor section, was greater than one of the more complicated sections.

Following the custom of European universities, the length of time required of Harvard students in the classroom will be substantially cut. By the discontinuance of lectures two and a half weeks between Christmas and midyear examinations, and for three and a half weeks before final exams, teachers will have more opportunity for initiative and individual accomplishment, and teachers will have more time for writing and research work.
Plain Tales From the Hill
Visitor (to cooled passing Green hall)—Art those pillars monolithic? Coed—Oh, no! That's green hall,
W. R. Smith, while calling the roll for the first time in the second section of Fundamentals I, suddenly burst forth with "Honey." The class was astoneted, and began to look around for the victim when it suddenly realized that he was calling him out by saying he had not written the roll. What terrible mistakes the assistants sometimes make.

certain freshman was heard to remark.
"Well, I'l bet somebody picks them up before they get to Lawrence."
During one of the recent gale which frequently blow around Mt. Pelican, the students stepped the Robbinham gymnasium and dropped his loseleaf notebook. The wind scattered pages in all directions, so they were marked to the disturbed young man.
"Too bad! too bad, son, there goes your college education."
It was pouring down rain. A bright colored slicker was directing streams of water into a pair of open gleanes. The sweet young thing stopped at the nearest shelter, carefully removed each glean, and with a softly muttered "darn" poured out sheer tears as they rolled down her checks, and gleanes still flapping, she proceeded on her way down the hill.
A student returning from his Easter vacation the other night, boarded the interurban to play safety first, because he thought the bus would be rather dangerous riding. He serumbled for a seat and finally obtained a side seat. He sat down rather calmly and noticed the rain not being on his new hut. He squirreled for a while and noticeing his umbrella, he grabbed it and let it up over him, and rode calmly the rest of his journey.
PROFESSIONAL CARD#
Many women sigh, many smile and a few say "All right, come on over," or "Sure, I'll go," but all of them wonder why it is that just as soon (if not sooner) as everyone is out of town for vacation that the so-called "men" of the campus call all the sororites and see if there isn't someone who will take a blind date with them, even if it is not a blind date, but never, never do we find these men calling the same women for dates when school is on. Always they have to wait until everyone is out of town.
