PRE-FINALS
WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1927
We are thankful for those of our teachers considerate enough to review their courses during these final lecture periods. Their kindness may be appreciated although it is seldom praised.
But for those members of the faculty who not only neglect that slight favor, but use their last classes for the preliminary to their finals, we have no love.
Though they may be a disagreeable minority, several instructors deem their two- and three-hour courses too important to be covered in the examination time assigned them. This is even more inconsiderate than a last minute paper assignment, for the students must neglect all recitations to study for this premature final which has no business in the daily curriculum.
Two hours has been considered by the University authorities sufficient time for an examination on a two-hour course. Why to instructors in these courses have the right to lengthen this time by one or two class periods?
One faculty member told his classes that he could cover much more ground by having a pre-final. Who couldn't? That is to be expected. But the students taking it don't appreciate the fact of the extra examination—and it may be wondered whether other members of the faculty who must contribute that work to his courses appreciate it, either.
Only a cruel hearted prof will tell n student the day before a final that he might as well stay home and study for something else.
THE SECOND APPEARANCE
Winnie the Waitress says that sometimes it's the biggest fur coat that hides the weakest pocket.
THE SOUND APPEARANCE
Tonight, the basketball team will play its second home season. And contrary to what is customary, it will start the game with the sting of having been defeated in the contest that preceded it.
Here at Kansas the success of the basketball season is not measured by the number of victories the team wins. Rather, it is measured by the number of games lost, for this group is easier to count.
The Kansas basketball team has made a business of winning during the past six years. The exception proves the rule, it has been said, and the game last week with Ames was the exception. Four victories are to the credit of the team, and in two of these, it has more than doubled the score on Valley opponents.
The Kansas players exemplify a high quality of sportsmanship. If the team reflects the character of the student body that it represents, then we may have just reason to be proud of our University.
At a recent international conference of men's clothing designers, it was announced that American men are becoming the best dressed men of the world. Well, boys, they had to admit it at last!
The misguided objective toward which many college students work is certainly revealed in the faculty regulation passed yesterday imposing a fine of two dollars no students who change their courses after two weeks have claused in the semester.
OBJECTIVES
The averted purpose of this regulation is to check changes by those students who find that a course in which they are enrolled is too difficult, or that the instructor is "dumb", or perhaps that not enough of their friends are in the same course to make it a social and co-operative success. The immediate occasion for this regulation is the flunks that have resulted from such changes.
Some changes of this kind are justifiable. But on the whole they are made by students who feel that their studies should not interfere with their education, that an education is to be obtained by following the line of the least resistance.
The unfortunate thing is that neither this nor any other regulation will keep those students and many others of the same type from dedenying classes for those who take their education seriously, and add to the instructor's duties the necessity of applying spars in making assignments.

ELEVENTH HOUR SCARE
ELEVENTH HOUR SCARE
Let them alone! Don't give them any worse "quiz-fright!" than they have already. Yes, upper-classmen, it's you, searing the freshmen and newly enrolled students with your takes of the finality of the finale.
Many of these persons come here from high schools have never taken a final. The horror of the unknown is great enough without your exaggerating the situation into a first class nightmare.
Stories of impossible questions,
hard-boiled instructors, hours of fatiaging writing, yellow notice slips denoting flunks, and embarrassing journals, homes are not inductive to the proper frame of mind with which one theoretically should approach Friday morning.
Finals are a bugear for the majority of students, but the more hardened ones know that the pain—although violent at times—is soon over and if approached in a proper frame of mind can be borne without an anesthetic, thus the casualties are seldom more than a few brain cells missing. Give the freshman confidence for his examinations. He can't review a semester's work efficiently if he is constantly in a state of ague. No one's mind will function when dominated by fear.
And after you've given him a reassuring pat on the back, ask him to return the favor because you might need it yourself.
If some students only know what the profs would ask on the finals they could plan next semester's work better.
The action of the forum hold yesterday under the auspices of the Y M. C. A. to consider the position of the United States in regard to Nicaragua took an active measure when it adopted a resolution to be sent to the president, the secretary of state, and the two Kannas senators.
BETTER THAN TALK
The sentiment of the forum was practically unanimously against the stand that the administration has taken. The questions directed at the leader of the discussion, Professor H. B. Chubb, were all expressive of disapproval of the policy of the United States, both in Nicaragua and in Mexico.
The resolution adopted recommends withdrawal of American marines from Nicaragua according to Senate resolution 300, and asks that influence be brought to bear on the state department to compel arbitration of our difficulties with Mexico. The resolution was adopted with only one dissenting vote.

expressing their individual opinions is worthy of being followed. This would swell the volume of dissenting letters to those in prominent positions in Washington and help to indicate the real sentiment of the American people, if their sentiment is one of dissent, as is becoming increasingly evident.
MEN'S STUDENT COUNCIL:
Why is it that rich relatives are always distant ones?
How much longer will people allow themselves to be dazzled into joining the ranks of cheap, emotional religious leaders? In religion, as in all other important matters, the intellect should be allowed to function. Whether they committed crimes or not, Mrs. McPherson and Doctor Norrina have committed great wrongs against society in exploiting what ought to be an exalted function.
Aiine Simpe McPheron must look to her laurels, for in Dr. J. Frank North she has a rival who kidnife to usurp her place in the limelight of emotional religion. He, too, defends himself by declaring that it is not he but religion that is being prosecuted.
Aimee evidently didn't get enough publicity in her famous case, so she is now putting herself on exhibition in a tour of most of the larger eastern cities of the United States.

Students at Oxford University may obtain insurance from the University against anything being injured or broken to breaking clubs on the golf course.
With his gift of oratory and magnetism, Doctor Norris declares from his pulpit that it is the enemy of evil that he is being prosecuted. He builds a protective wall of public sentiment around himself. By picture himself as a martyr to the true Christian religion, he has drawn new members by the hundreds into his congregation, ready to help fight his cause.

Chancellor Samuel Avery, for eighteen years head of the University of Nebraska, left last Thursday, Jan. 13, for San Diego, California on an indefinite leave of absence. A dangerous condition brought on by impending heart muscle failure is the reason for his departure.
North Dakota Agriculture College now has an enrollment five times as great as that of ten years ago. At that time the school had 225 students, and this year there are 1130 enrolled. It has become necessary to have new buildings, or more than the present number of students will have to be admitted, therefore, because of the lack of sufficient accommodations for them.
Automobiles owned by students of the University of Illinois must be registered and licensed by the dean, who keeps a record of the mileage of each car. No nautos can be driven outside the town without special permission, because of the athletic teams must go by train or obtain such admission.
