EXAMS AND SENIORS MONDAY, APRIL 11, 1927 The final examination has become a standardized institution in education which is often considered a necessity in rating student ability. It is quite doubtful if this standardization is essential to the last semester senior rating, and hardships imposed by the hurried examinations so near commencement week are too severe. In the last semester of an under- graduate's work, the student finds that requirements for him have greatly increased. He is acquainted at the University and he is expected to take part in activities. At the end of the school year the senior is thinking of commencement and his plans for the future. Final examinations break in upon him at the critical time when they are the greatest disturbance and hazard. At some schools the finals for last semester seniors have been abolished completely, with the idea that instructors are able to judge the ability of more mature students without examination. At other schools, seniors making a satisfactory average in a class are excused from the final in that class. The latter system probably is more fair to both student and instructor. A system whereby a senior need not report for a final when he has an average of B or C in a class would certainly eliminate the hazards and uselessness of pre-commencement cramming. More than flowers bloom in the spring. tra la. Even the "one-way road" signs have blossomed pictures of the nominees for the Jayhawkor editorship. RIPE DIPLOMACY It is reported that the time is at la "pipe" for the settlement of the tron bles in Central America. With this i mind the administration is sending special envoy to Nicaragua in an attempt to bring the warractions f t some sort of an agreement with eac other and with the United States. Just why the time has suddenly become "ripe" is in no wise explained. From all indications before the public the time is long over-ripe; in fact patrid. Had the government not maintained a policy concerning Nicaragua that was so diametrically opposed to the opinion that a large part of the American public which a few weeks ago demanded more justice for the Central American countries it would not have become necessary for the administration to await this belated "tipeness." It seems that the government does not exactly want a protectorate, but indications are that the situation is now "ripe" for the envoy, former Secretary of War Henry L. Stilton, to negotiate some sort of a treaty dictatorship built around our mythical canal rights in Nicaragua. Just what the difference is in effect not told, but "ripeness" in diplomacy seems to mean not a time for equitable adjustment of matters but a time when you can effect the most advantageous settlement for yourself. THE REVOLT OF ASIA The revolt of Asia, the movement which has as its background the evacuation of the white race from Asia, has only been fanned into flame again because Asia feels that the various white races which are trying to dominate her, should limit their ambitions to cultural and spiritual things and not to the amassing of huge fortunes at the expense of the Asiatic. At present China is only the spearhead of a weapon which reaches from Cairo to Tokyo. Everywhere in the Orient is manifested the abomination of the white rice by the Asiatic. Every possible step is being taken by them to eliminate white communities and to boycott white business firms. Why do these Asiatic want to get rid of the foreigners in their midst? Not only because of the element of hatred and revenge which plays a part in return for the American exclusion of the Asian immigrant, at least, but mainly because of American, French and British unequal treaties which are threatening the interests of the native Asiatic, does this feeling prevail; and also, the fact that white foremen are draining the home industries by the installation of modern machinery, throwing thousands of laborers into idleness. And worst of all is the fact that most white so-called reformers, educators, and missionaries try not to advance the culture of the country to which they administer, but use their position as ruler to ruin the culture of the native country and to heap upon it the follies of the country of the white man. Eough for the setting of fact! What is to be the outcome? What is to be the American attitude toward the whole thing? It should be one of sympathy and helpfulness, not one of exploitation for all it is worth in money and dominance. More fighting is not the solution to the problem. Fighting between two equally strong forces throughout many bloody years has a tendency to cause each force to pursue its course to the bitter and mutilated end, only to find itself with drawn into its own camp to rat and die. Either absolute evacuation of foreign territory or princthe of the golden rule, while a resident there, must be the solution of the problem of white unspurpation of foreign territory. HOW DARE HE The good old days of master and subject still exist, in so far that some "muster" are able to control the situation. At least Lord Stonehaven, governor-general of Australia feels that way about it. He recently accused Patroudewala of insulting King George, when he neglected to stand on the platform where he was giving a recital when Lord Stonehaven entered the ball, but came onto the platform after the governor-general had entered. Of course it was careless of Paderewski. Being only ex-president of Poland and a famous pianist himself, he should have realized the humble position he bore in comparison to that of the governor-general of Australia. His action was like a slap in the-face to the removed King George, who was within five thousand miles of the scene of the tragedy, and who would no doubt have missed the significance of the affront even if he had been present. The King no doubt feels gratified to Lord Stonechaven for calling the matter to his attention. If he doesn't, he should. And it is hoped that Ignace Jan Poderewski has learned his place. Nevertheless it looks suspiciously as if Lord Stonechaven were suffering from an acute attack of a chronic inferiority-complex. WANTED: A MICROSCOPE FOR MAN Television, for several years a reality for the scientist, is today a reality for the man in the street. Prophecy about the future of television is unless, because the world has a way of not following prophecies. Probably President Gifford of the American Telephone and Telegraph Company best expressed it when he said, "The practical use of the invention must be left to the imagination." It is interesting to note, however, 148 Initiation services for Pt Laudaba Theta will be hold tonight, Monday, at 9, at Henley House. TWILA SHOEMAKER, Secretary. OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN VOL.

LINDLEY.** Great corporations have their drawbacks, and monopolies and concentrated power in industry have elements of danger for society; but it must be admitted that the large corporation of the present day have brought technical advances which would have taken hundreds of years under a system of every man for himself. Editor Daily Kansan: Engineer, studying physical matter, are bringing man more forces than he has ever had at his command before. Our need now is for great laboratories where the nature of man may be studied, to the end that our control of the forces developed by engineers may be for good rather than evil. Granted that all students are going to buy shares and also get all their books and supplies from this co-operative book store, there is doubt even then of its success. Five thousand dollars is to go to the downtown ordinary common sense will show that they get a much bighter portion. I was interested in reading the article in the Sunday Kansan regarding the profits of a co-operative book store. Even so, with all these roy figures, and the most ideal selling conditions, there would be $8,000 to be divided among 5,200 students in way of profit. Each student, according to the figures, pays 825 worth of books and supplies, which should mean a rebate of 32.5%. Multiplies that by 5,200, the number of students, and you will get $19,450 which would be due to students in way of a rebate. There is an extra fee from where will the remainder of the $19,450, or $19,450 come? From "think for yourself". How can we benefit? We are told that books will be sold at last price, which means that they will be selling for the same price we are paying now. I know that the coop at the University of Wisconsin sold its merchandise above the price we are selling from these expensive price that a large portion of the stores was made movable. If books and supplies will not be cold cheaper, what will be the advantage of a co-operative book store, when a student's money, students' time, in the routine uncleavage of the enterprise would be ammunished. Just for the love of starting an enterprise!

The member shall respond with the first word that comes into his mind, Mr. Jones, 'Browning.' "Poachies!" (Entomatically). The world's most underrated professor is found.

All would have been well had not the women gipped back and turned to save the younger apprentices upon the young professor from the Powers That Be! One University student was much upset one day last week upon unrolling his nine paper piles it stumped him to the collector 'Will Call Today.' His monthly check from home had not arrived, so he carefully arranged the paper at the door of the house where the collector could not help but see this inscription: 'Thanks for the information. The coaster will be absent.'
