Entered on secondclass mail matter September 17, 1916, at the post office at Lawrence Kaisa, under the act of March 3, 1897. MONDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1927 WHAT IS YOUR SPEED? Rapid reading may become a hobi, just as slow reading may, and either may be acquired, intentionally or otherwise, says Dr. James B. Angell noted psychologist. But unless one is interested in the scenery, he goes on to say, it is a sheer waste of time to travel by a slow train when one might as well have taken a fast on Students who are continually grumbling about long assignments and complaining about lack of time might consider his statement seriously. Many of them go to the library more aleep than awake, settle down as comfortably as possible in a chair, open a book and begin to "read." What they do literally is to finger over every word, examine it minutely, decide what it is and then pass on to the next. There is no continuity of thought, no grouping of sentences, no reviewing of the subject matter or of its meaning as the reading progresses, and as a result very little of it ever soaks in. In neither do very many them get any joy out of the scenery. That is why they must spend hours and hours at the library, that is why college to them is a drudgery and why they are known to their fellows as "grids." Mental alertness and a conscious application of effort are all that is lacking. Wake up! Sharper your intellect to a fine hair splitting precision and then try it out on everything with which you come in contact just as you did with your first jacket, the results will be surprising HALLUCINATIONS In spite of the illusion of spring these balmy days are creating, one has the presentiment that winter might still be lurking just out of sight in the Wakasura valley. But when one enters central Administration the illusion is perfected by the odor and the sight of the blooming lilac bush. It simply must be spring, one's scenes argue with one's reason, that sight is not a sight of winter? Things don't grow or smell like that unless it is the new part of the year. But it is on cold, blustery, ice days when the odorous husks give a most pleasant shock. No more illusion is developed then, but with each deepening whiff pictures of past springs and coming springs block the pedagogical hallways half from sight. One's day-dream begins even before he enters the classroom when his senses react to the lilac bush. How ignorant these newspapers are! "Speaker a Senator" headline on the sport page. Why we all know that the speaker is a member of the House of Representatives. SKIN DEEP CIVILIZATION Civilization, like beauty, must be but skin deep. The actions of Princess Tarhata Kiram, niece of the mutan of Sua island and fourth wife of the leader of the Moro tribe, would indicate as much. Singled out to be a model for the Filipino sisters, Tarahata was taken to America for an education in the University of Illinois. There, she lived with a professor's family in order that she might see the best of western life. She completed the course at the University, receiving a degree, yet the only lesson she seems to have retained is the belief that "woman's place is wherever she wants to be." Turbata* : French heels and Puris frocks are gone. In their stiles have come the native costume of hand-woven sarongs and bodices adorned with gold pieces. Her teeth have been filed and she has taken to chewing betel nuts. She has ruined her beauty, but she has done more than that. She has thrown off all vestiges of her intellectual training and has returned to the customs of her people. Her interests, as indicated by an interview, are in Loch and Leopold and the matrimonial affairs of Grange. Political, social and economical movements do not interest her. Individuals she knew in America still hold her, but the larger things do not. She has returned to the life of her race and has entered the harrow of Datu Tailh because she feels that she must do so, to be a power among her people. The Moores, however, and hate her. Ask if they are going to send their children to school, they explain with horror, "No, look what it did to Taratah." The Sulta princess has been a model to her native sister, all right, but it is a model of what not to be. The time and money spent on educating her and civilizing her have been wanted. Back in the jungle of the Pacific island, she has discarded her civilization as she might throw away her worn-out sarong. Mechanical note: The quickest way to stop rattles in a collagiate Ford is to leave the cutout open. The most effective method, however, is to stop the Ford. THE TERRIBLE BROWNINGS "Hunt Peaches" 50 Sheeks," "Daddy's story of Peaches," "New Brewing Brie Charge," "Court Bribe Peaches," Fast." Thus the headlines about out the whole hard story of the Brownings and eager readers devour it hungry. Every act, every word of the world tale of the 52-year old millionaire who married a 15-year-old girl last spring is spread out over the pages of the country's press for all to read. Suggestive and indescent as some of the accounts are, yet they are consumed greedily by those who love the sensational. Granted that "Peachie" herself is nothing but a little gold digger who very obviously married only for the money that she and her mother might secure, and that Browning has had plenty of similar affairs with other young girls, adopted or otherwise, yet there is a limit which even the public should not expect the papers to overstep. That the facts in the case were revealed as court testimony does not absolve the press and the public. It is doubtful indeed if the publicity will have any deterrent effect on either of the principals who both have a passion for being in the public eye. The same is true of those who read the details of that which should be private. They are all to be ensured, the Brownings, the press, and above all, the public. That the American people require such disfiguting facts to satisfy their appetite for the sensational shows a morbid and unhealthy state of mind—a state of mind which will bear close observation in the future. A moment musical it was. To Mu Phi Epsilon and Mu Alpha Goes the credit for presenting the most on-going student program of the year. At the Concert BY JOHN SHIVELY BY JOHN SHIVVY The solo numbers hold the center of interest. Raymond Lawrenton and Dorothy Jones kept up the predominance place the pianists have had in the student recitals at the University this year. The former played the Chopin in A-flat Major" at a space that is a light and somewhat airy effect when trained in a Chopin waltz. He worked to a good climax, and the interpretation was effective. His technic, however, was the major element which The student book exchange will be open Tuesday from 10 to 12 and from 2 to 4. OLIVE FIGGS, Manager.

Dress appropriately. KAPPA PHI: J. C. McCANLES, Director made this number outstanding. The "White Peacock" was a musty, fantastically beautiful number. Mr. Lawrenson obtained just the desired effect of this characteristic modern composition. Miss Jones had a more difficult assignment as far an obtaining the beauty of her number was concerned. But she did it creditably, as she had done in the previous advanced students recital. Pearl Anderson established her ability as a singer in the effective way key which she presented the "Ave Marie" by Bruch. Her high tones were sure and they were clear. Her voice seemed to have foundation. And she entered into the dramatic spirit of song better than any vocalist student in the public rectals this year. Ms. Anderson good a voice and used it well, but her singing lacked personality. Her two songs lost label. Elden Arvine made the bruch "Concerto" an interesting part of the program. The introduction was a beautiful adagio. While his technic was not clear throughout, Mr. Ardrey's tone was good and it had life. Connel McGrew attempted a much heavier concerto, and, while his technic most of the difficult passages were brilliant, in the most critical point, the rapid nerguage portion, it failed with the exception of this and a brief masterpiece for the violin was well done. Mr. McGrew's tone was fine. The technical errors probably were incidents only of this one appearance. The first ensemble was the best, but in the last part it developed into a choreographed piano id should have been raised so that the instrument could be heard. Of course Mr. Green proved himself capable of playing an effective solo, but Miss Saunders seemed to be going through the motions in a capable mummer, and Mr. Green succeeded in the last part as well as in the first where she had some solo parts. The piano ensemble numbers by Miss Newby and Miss Saunders were not outstanding, but they were well done and fitted well in the program. The last ensemble of the long ensemble by Miss Beamer, Miss Atten and Mrs. Lawrence. Spring football training has already started at the University of Oregon. Plain Tales From the Hill Two women students were discussing the points in which they resembled their parents. One remarked that her brother was very protective of "Mine are like my brother," and --for over fifty years "Mine are like my brother's," said the other, "they're dirty." Two older women, one seemingly a resident of Lawrence, were on the campus buildings being pointed out to the guest and as the car rounded the corner of Eleventh and Corbin hall and asked what it was. "Oh, that is another of the K. U. buildings. Let's see, oh yes, that is the University hospital." Dance programs at a recent "hop" at McGill University were done in blueprint style.
