MONDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1926 PROCRASTINATION One vacation is just over and another but a few weeks ahead. Why pay too serious attention to school work. The holiday spirit is in the air. Why spoil it with such drab duties as class assignments, reports, and readings. Yes, readings—they are the bunk! Think of all the splendid good times of which collateral readings have robbed you. At the very moment when you imagined the quarter or semester had passed so neatly and you had all your work in shape it occurred to you that there remained unempty pages of outside readings. And that if not attended to there was no telling how disastrous certain quizzes might be. There always seem to be some such serious element taking all the joy out of life. The critical time for those joy sousers to appear is just prior to the mid-term or the final exams. Care free days and weeks have sped by in which you repeatedly promised that you would attend to those readings. But as with the custom of good intentions, the eleventh hour arrives and—well, perhaps it is altogether too moral to point out the conclusion, but that is the critical moment in which you are tempted to sneak out of the library with the much needed reference book. It is so much easier to read the required book or articles during the pre-exam rush if you can take it to your room. You never thought of it in that way, did you? No, and neither did others. But whereas they learned through a bitter experience that cost them deeply you can avoid the danger of loss of credit hours, or even expulsion, by getting that collateral reading done NOW. LATECOMERS There are a few true music lovers who find themselves able to reach the concert hall and be comfortably seated before the concert begins, ready to enjoy every note, but there are also quite a number of individuals who believe that concerts do not begin on time and consequently are habitually late. These careless persons make needles disturbance and noise in return for the courtesy of being permitted to enter during a number of the program. The door creaks after each latecomer, seams bang and squawk, others must rise from their chairs and allow the tardy person, who is conscientiously trying to be quiet and for that very reason making more noise, to reach his chair. This makes for unnessaise and noise throughout the hall. No matter how carefully an artist has chosen his opening numbers to grab attention and to quiet his audience, the entire time and effort that he has spent are wanted by the irritating actions of the latecomers. The performer is placed at a disadvantage by finding himself unable to control his listeners and the later arrivals find that they must whisper to their neighbors to learn how much of the program they have missed. Would it not be kinder to every one concerned to arrive at the concert hall in time to secure seats before THE WALKING PIGEON THE WARRIOR FLORES That is the non-silenced clone Their hearts are cold green and vice- Smiling green and vane-- Packing, patting.

K.'s Weekly the concert is begun, and thus do away with all of this disturbance? Or should the other alternative be adopted—that of closing the doors precisely on the moment? Latecomers would then find themselves standing in the corridor waiting while their more thoughtful friends are seated inside listening with pleasure to the opening number or group of numbers of the concert. Perhaps they wouldn't be latecomers again. Mrs. Irving Berlin, the James A. Stillmans and Leonard Kip Rhineslander have been dropped from the social register. Welcome to our gang, folks! AN UNUSUAL REPORT Reports of liquor-drinking in hotel rooms have been grossly exaggerated according to "Dick" Gray, veteran hosteler, in an interview recently in the Kansas City Star. Mr. Gray says it is only rarely that whisky bottles I'm found in the rooms. Evidently if there is drinking in the rooms, the violators elude the detection of the management by carrying away the bottles. Mr. Gray's statement is deserving of attention. Out of the many newspaper reports concerning prohibition enforcement, it is one of few that have indicated a hopeful trend. And unlike those few that have favored prohibition, Mr. Gray's statement is based on a broad, generalizing assumption, but on facts of which he has first-hand knowledge. Could it be that some of the we advocate, as well as the more for national dry crushers, resort to occasional fabrication? Now we've had our mini pie and cranberry sauce, bring on Santa Claus. Yes, the reindeer too. THE KANSAS ROAD SYSTEM A state referendum will probably be held to decide whether the Kansas road system shall be controlled by the state. An amendment to the state constitution is necessary in order that the state may "make internal improvements," and Governor Paunel has turned his support to such an amendment. The present system of county roads has proved a failure in providing for a unified system. The state gasoline tax has been apportioned to the individual counties and used by the counties as their desire. Much of the money has been been through inefficient methods, and roads have been constructed in county units without thought of state-wide travel. This has left Kanaas "in the mud," so to speak, and a part of the tourist travel has been diverted to other states. Those in favor of the unified system contend that the tourist traffic, with the gasoline tax in effect, will be sufficient to pay much of the expense of constructing a network of concrete highways. The western counties are dubious with regard to a unified road system. Such a system, their champions say, will leave many counties isolated from good roads. They agree that the present system is undesirable, but now all counties are allotted the proceeds from the gasoline tax and if the proposed system were inaugurated some of them might lose this money and still be without roads. They desire assurance that they shall receive full value under the unified state system. It is desirable that the amendment be submitted to the voters for decision. Each county shall be effected individually and the citizens of each county should have the privilege of deciding the issue.

One more death has been added to the list of those who would sacrifice honor and trust for the possession of money. THE PRICE OF CRIME F. D. Bashnell, whose pardon from the Kansas state pentagon early in 1925 was one of the contributing causes to the scandal that clouded the administration of Jonathan M. Davis, found that freedom allowed him nothing. This man, who swindled a negro farmer and robbed him of a fortune, was found dead, recently, after spending weeks in drinking moonshine whisky. The persecuted man returned to his home in Wilkinson and attempted to continue in his work. Shumbed by his former friends and unable to obtain a position in the business world where he has been an important figure, Bushnell reaped the reward of the branded criminal. Twelve students have been expelled from the University of Illinois for violation of the rules prohibiting the use of automobiles by students. --been constructd of paper or wood "skins."

Editorials From Other Hills (The Daily Northwestern) Through this entire performance we had an ever increasing conviction that college was not a creative institution. We were a preparation for creative talent, but turned out to be second-rate commentators, in fact second-hand commentators, for we merely backed back the work. That was the key to the grading system. The Guardians of the Mind As freshmen we are directed off into diverse pastures and told to crop heavily, for our experience must be comprehensive. Our sophomores we are found to complete what we had started in our first year much of what was acquired through direct instruction from tutorial supervision. As junior seniors we hastily gathered in the required subjects and went on with diplomas under our arms. As graduate students we are huddled together with classes of innumerable undergraduates and the unfying graduates who have given in which avoid this evil. Many graduates are disappointed with the maze which now confronts them. We had looked forward to graduate study in the individual, study, an opportunity to develop a latent talent. Every class, especially in the graduate school, should be one of experimentation. Freedom of expression, freedom of solution, and freedom of inquiry should be the pertinent goal of every progressive educational institution. The co-operative women's dermatitry at Ohio State University has been discontinued, although its sponsors report it a workable venture. Under the co-operative plan the students paid for room and board and each woman did work for two weeks, caring for rooms or helping with the cooking. Three freshman at Butler University were shorn of their hair because they refused to buy freshman caps and wore wearing their high school letters.

Suiting You—That's My Business In an effort to protect fraternities and sororites from the mishaps of visitors at the parties held on the days of home football games, the senate committee on student affairs at the University of Michigan decided to do away with dances or parties on those dates.
