SNOW LEGISLATION
Snow hall may be standing on the campus for years yet, enduring lives and expensive apparatus, if the present bill in the state legislature, approving an appropriation of funds sufficient to replace it, is not passed. It seems that the present house committee refuses to do more with it until the senate committee does something which the house committee wishes it to do.
Snow hall was created in 1902, and only seven years later it was condemned. For seventeen years work has been carried on in it at the risk of many lives, to say nothing of a great deal of valuable apparatus. Now just as the appearance of a new building to take the place of a snow seemed imminent, legislative friction upset the plan.
Perhaps this is unavoidable, but the paramount thing is that the University needs a new science hall and it needs it badly. Any action which will obstruct this measure interferes with the good of the state.
While at the University recently, Bill White, Junior, was astonished by the peculiar tests and grading systems being used. Among other reforms in education he suggested a referendum of the multiplication table.
WOMAN'S PLACE
Kanran headline makes mention of the fact that eleven senators were swept out at noon, one day last week. The junior was a bit delilquent, it seems, for the halls should have been cleaned early in the morning.
Bigger and better biscuits is the urgent demand of Senator Fleetter Ofokhaoma, according to the bill he introduced recently.
Evidently since the recent addition of the governor's new adviser, who happens to be a woman, the senators are feeling it their duty to keep up the domestic trend.
Senator Fletcher's bill demands:
"Any cook of either sex, white or colored, of any and all nationalities and religious affiliations, bereafter shall make and bake biscuits of a size not less than six inches in circumference, to weigh not more than one ounce when done, always to be served hot."
Under the terms of the bill regulations may be dispensed with at "pink teas," where all guests are women. And it does not apply to newlyweds "for the year next following their marriage."
A penalty of $50 or more is the cost of violation of the bill.
Woman's place may be primarily in the home, but when she invades the realm of man, and starts advising governors how to run their states, she revolutionizes things.
The next move to be expected is a prohibition law against over-strong coffee, because of the economy in making a weaker beverage.
Senators will probably unite to bring about ratification of the etiquette books, and will pass laws to punish violation thereof.
In fact, almost any limit may be considered, for there's a woman behind things.
ILLITERACY—NOT RACE
Some intelligent and thoughtful negro has started something that will probably mean trouble for Texans. For it was a nigro who had the Texas law against negroes' voting in primary elections carried to the federal supreme court where it has been declared unconstitutional.
For a time after the Civil war, the Democratic party kept the negroe from voting in their primaries by simply passing resolutions to the effect. No one cared if they voted in the Republican primary, for the Democrats always carried everything. Then later the Democratic resolution was made into a state law which prohibited all negroes from voting in any primary election.
For years this law has stood. And now that it has been caught, it may cause a lot of trouble for Texas. There are enough voting negroes in the state to outvote the whites completely, if they all combined on one primary. As long as they stay Republican, there will be no ill effect, even though all the Republican nominees should be negroes. But let them all once get into the Democratic elections, and they could carry the state, unless the white Democrats would all support the Republican ticket.
It is not hard to imagine the furor that is probably now taking place among politicians and statesmen in Texas. It is natural that they should not want negroes to govern their state as long as the body of southern negroes is illiterate, but it is because
they are objectionable, and not because of beir color, then it is the illiteracy but should be regulated against.
There are many good intelligence tests that all voters could be required by law to pass, before they would be permitted to vote. Such a requirement would keep the great majority of negroes, as well as a small per cent of whites, from taking part in any election. The only constitutional requirement made of voting laws is that no one shall be discriminated against because of race or sex.
"if performance means anything," says the Pratt Daily Tribune, "the next K. U, building should be called Petersen hall."
OSCAR UNDERWOOD
Oscar Underwood of Alabama has passed from the din of public headlines in connection with tariff battles in the Senate. Victor or vanquished, he retires into private life with satisfaction at having contributed unaparently to the progress of our nation.
Step by step Underwood mounted the ladder of fame. His first recognized public service was his drafting of the present constitution of Alabama as the chairman of a Democratic campaign committee. From 1895 to 1915 he was a member of the House of Representatives, ending his career there as chairman of the ways and means committee.
A Senator from 1915 until Saturday of last week, Underwood became the Democratic floor leader and a leading presidential candidate in recent national conventions. Having reached the age of 65, he declined to run for re-election. He bought an estate in the Virginia hills on the road to Mount Veronon overlooking the tranquil estuary of the Potomac.
Silas Lapin and John Barclay — in fiction—found peaceful domestic consumption of their dreams of happiness. May Oscar Underwood—in reality—find the same in his comparative seclusion.
With all the talk about "Body by Fisher" we should not forget Mutt and Jeff.
Vice President Dawes is going to miss the company of Congress for the next few months. He says so, and even called on President Coolidge yesterday to console him because of its absence.
WE MISS THEE
After the recent fifthbuster in which the senate closed, taking down to defeat needlessly many important measures to which there was no appreciable opposition, the body has been the subject of much attention and comment.
Rather than have all the excitement die down completely the vice presi-

He has been honging away at the business of rules for the past two years without getting results, but that the subject is unusually timely, he intends to start a vigorous campaign.
When congress convenes next December, he hopes to have invoked public sentiment to his side so that the senate will do something about it, but just now. Vice President Dawes is missing the excitement of congress terribly. He says vice.

The most finished performances were given by Aline Eberle, Josephine Dana, and Elizabeth Stimpson, Audrey Carr, who danced two duets with Miss Stimpson, the Irish Jig and Hopak, also showed a high degree of

until it has equipped you with a knowledge of the fundamentals of business, whether you expect to be employed in a business office or not.
Some excellent interpretation of characters was shown in several dances. Miss Stippson danced a gay and creefive Peter Pan, whose enjoyment of the woods and nature was obvious. Miss Dana as the gypsy beggar was almost too bewitched, and Courtney Pickens, who presented the story of "The Letter," dressed in ribbons and lace, made a most charming old fashioned girl. The character was a gorgeous Caren costume and danced to Laxit's Second Hungarian Rhapsody, would probably have been better appreciated if the music had been in more competent hands.
Once again, at this recital, the University's need for a theater with proper stage facilities was vividly demonstrated. Miss Barto, and Prof. Allen Crafton, who assisted her in the staging, should be congratulated on his background as was possible with the rough boards and strips of calico.
The result of months of time and effort was evident Tuesday night at the Tau Sigma dance revue given in Robinson gymnastics. The members of the University's dancing society charmed and variegated program.
At The Theater

Women at the University of Southern California have asked that archery be established as a recognized sport for women there. At present only a gymnastics classes are following a William Tailor form of announcement.
We suggest that before graduation you enroll for some work with us.
A group of four dances was given by Lawrence children. Although no prodigies were discovered, their work was harmonious, and was a credit to Miss Margaret Barto, who instructed them.
is your education
The group figures included clever folks dancing of various nationalities as well as interpretive musical visualizations. Perhaps the loveliest was the "Leibesträum" which included chiefly a series of gracefully posed pictures. Large veils and effective lighting suited to the beauty of the dance.
The dance of the gypsy girls demonstrated the utmost training and practice, as well as ability and grace. Each step and motion was made by the four women in perfect union—they moved as one. Much of the group dancing appeared noticeably amateur, but many of the participants missed a step, or apparently forgot a movement until one of their number began it.
