Kansas R. O. T.C to Be Inspected by National Board
Class Rating of Local Uni Will Be Determined in First Review May 10-11
For the first time in the history of the R. O. T. C. department, an inspection by the war department board of Washington, D. C., will be made here. The purpose of this inspection is to determine what type of O. T. C. unit is qualified to be rated in the " distinguished college" class.
Preceding the inspection by the war department board, the most important inspection of the year, there will be held two other inspections. The Army Corps of Engineers will have A. B. Dockery, officer in charge of R. O. T. C. affairs at the corps area headquarters at Omaha. This inspection is an annual affair to determine the status of training areas. It will take place on Monday, April 25.
FOUR PAGES AND MAGAZINE SECTION
Main Inspection Soon
the second inspection will be April 26 or 27. The inspecting officer is Col. Charles E. Kilbower from the office of chief of coast artillery at Washington, D. C. This inspection is for the purpose of the training of the officers authorized by the standard established by the office of chief of coast artillery.
The principal inspection of the year will be held on May 10 and 11. This inspection is so extensive in detail that it requires two days to complete the work. The war department board will be represented here by Maj. R, M. Daufont, field artillery, and Maj. C, H. Bonestee of the infantry.
The two representatives of the board started on their itinerary April 1, for a review of all the universities and colleges in the western and middle western states. Beginning with Texas they will post a campus Kansai University architectural College will be inspected just before the inspection made at K. U.
Cygon Is Satisfied
The "distinguished college" class is the highest rating that can be given a unit. It corresponds to a class "A" medical school. Not more than 30 per cent of the total number of colleges and universities in each country area can be designated for the distinguished college class. At present the school is filled, so to gain the honor, K. U. must display some other school.
Mn), J. R. Cygon, professor of military science and tactics, said, "I realize that we have a task ahead of us that calls for no small amount of hard work and painstaking attention to details. The inspection goes into the status of the training in a minute way. The men are working hard for the place and the people they help will be very satisfied with the theoretical instruction but a few deficiencies remain yet in the infantry drill."
Only two schools in the Missouri valley now are in the highest rating, and they are both land grant schools which have compulsory military training. They are Missouri University and North Carolina College. K. S. A. C. at Manhattan has held this distinguished rating, but lost it last year.
The inspections are based upon three main factors. They are: Support of R, O, T, C by institution and student body, 27 points; efficiency of theoretical instruction, 30 points; efficiency of practical instruction, 43 points. It is possible to make 100 points.

"The Citizens Military Training Camp which provides military instruction, clothes, and board for one month in the summer is open to young men with a military background. Professor Ockberlkind, "Major Brown, of the Medical Reserve Corps is in a position that warrants his sayings 'Men came out of training from one-belt to one inch larger, and with its training equipment,' said Professor Ockberlkind.
There are at least 76 reserve officers in Douglas county lumber for military service at any time," said Professor Ockerbiel. "Men are acquainted with these facts they enlist, yet the fact that they do not turn back, proves their sincerity, I believe," said Professor Ockerbiel. "The bonds of the army are very strong." The soldiers will exist even after the soldiers are disbanded, Dependents of army men right here in Douglas county are being helped by their army comrades," concluded Professor Ockerbiel.
The latest feature on the University of Utah campus is an "It" contest. All students will be asked to vote on the candidates and pictures of 15 girl students receiving the highest number of votes will be sent to Hollywood where Eleanor Glyn will select those girls having "It."

Soon the campus was chill and gray, save for the occasional slacker figure that sorrowfully frowned at the beauty of their wakewalked did not by their own accord take a note of cheerfulness to the drab, sad picture. All at once activity burst upon the deserted campus; raincreated students rushed frantically hither and thither, darting in and out of buildings, stopping the few love strayers for lazy questions; colliding with students over the campus. This group of scourishing schools was small, even when it first put life into the campus atmosphere, and slowly it dwindled until at last the Hill was left to its original dream aspect. The Reporting 1 students had been assigned a story and all had evidently gotten

Successful Combination Essential for Teacher.
No one has ever found out what the real factors afe for a successful teacher, according to E. W. Anderson, assistant professor of education, but the successful combination is the important thing.
Some of the outstanding essentials that are most emphasized in selecting teachers, Mr. Anderson stated, are the scholarship and ability to co-operate and get along with people is also an important factor. Strength of character and leadership are both important components of a teacher's intention to get things done or his initiative.
Experience is one of the things that is often required and is important, because one's ability must be demonstrained in its real worth can be uncertained.

Efrem Zimbalist Is Pupil of Leopold Auer, Famous Violin Teacher
Concertist Who Appears Here
Monday Is Modern Type
of Musician
The violinist of today is primarily a musician with a virtuous command of his instrument, and there is no better example of the modern violinist that Max Ziegler, who will play at the Berlin Zongzheng, April 4, in Kolbinsky gymnasium.
Zimbabwe, who was born in Russia, is the pupil of the celebrated Leopold Axer. The Russian teacher who trained him, among others and others of international fame.
Is a Real Musician
He is a Raven.
His insistence that he has no offections, and who must him kill will find that he is straightforward in manner of address and that he possesses a certain reluctance to speak much of his successes.
"The violinist of fiction." Zimbabwe says, "undoubtedly had a basis in fact, but fact has grown faster than fiction and I do not believe that you will find any of the old-fashioned fiddlers appearing under high class suspicion. A violinist who wishes to study the art of music time with curious ways of dressing and the development of eccentric manners."
Studied Under a Master
The artist is not convinced that he knows everything about making music on his fingers, but frequently with his illusory teachers, Leopard Auer. The teacher, although eighty years old, has not aged musically and he is a keen listener and as helpful a guide as ever
The friendship of the old master and his pupil is deeply rooted. Last year, Zimbabwe organized a gala celebration in honour of Professor Aner's birthday. He secured the services of Joel Hoffmann, Serged Echmannroff and Ossip Gatiblowsch. A most striking moment of the event came when Zimbabwe and another volunteer met with another column—that one being Leopold Aner, who still plays with the art and fire of his virtuoso days.
"He is by all means the greatest violinist ever brought to Lawrence," said D. M. Swarthout, dean of the School of Fine Arts, in commenting upon Zimbabwe; "and he should be accustomed to capacity house at his presided."

At these meetings the basic correspondence courses on mobilization are taken up. "Every officer has certain duties to perform, according to rules laid down by the United States government," said Prof. A. M. Muskler of the Army Reserve Officer Corps. "The officer is responsible for the feeding, clothing, and health of his man," continued Professor Ockerblad, "and if he doesn't have these definite rules and regulations, he is simply out of luck."
A discipline drive in the University of Oklahoma is suspending students from school. Some of the causes include the use of stolen classes and the selling of stolen books.
Plans of Karnival Round Into Shape Management Says
No Parties Are Scheduled to Conflict; Rehearsal of Stunts Set for Friday

The Karnival had its initial conception in 1920 when it was introduced as an added means for raising money for the work of the Y. M. C. A, and Y.W. C. A, on the campus. The first attempt proved such a success that the event was repeated, and it since became a school tradition.
No PARTS Scheduled
the managers, Mayne Tray, e278 and Tette Lapointe, e341 that the Karnival has so far been the only successful attempt to bring about a student gathering regardless of organized or unorganized bodies for purpose of a social get-together; they feel that as a result it has attained an added purpose which has not been duplicated by any other event on the schedule. This means it can be scheduled a variety or parties for that night.
The organizations are divided about equally this year as to their choice of boots or attuns. All are co-operating wholeheartedly, according to Coffin, and all will be given leading the fraternities in interest. Trophy cups will be given as prizes for both types of entertainment, and the trophy will remain in permanent possession of the winner. Faculty officers will form the award committee.
