U. 25 and 46 The Daily Kununurra aims to picture the climate in Kununurra; it can no further than merely print the news by standing for the idea that climate is to be concerned with; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to be courteous; to be friendly; to serve the best of its ability; to help its people. FRIDAY, MAY 4. 1923 SEMI-FORMAL The all-University May party has been announced as a semi-formal affair. The use of the term semi-form is somewhat lost on the hill. It carries to many students the connotation of the truly formal dress affair with all its attendant expense. Consequently a sense that this restitution is a "keep out" warning and because this many will not be in attendance. Semi-formal certainly does not carry with it such a meaning. The intention of those responsible for the suggestion was that since there had not been a single party on the bill designated as a formal party this year that this would be an opportunity to carry out the idea to some extent. Semi-formal does not imply added expense and party clothes. All it implies in this case is "put on your Sunday-best and come to our party". STILL THEY GROW Last night the north wind blew. The moon and stars could not shine nor pierce the black clouds that lung threatened Mr. Oread with sudden rain and cold. Street lights flitched and cast wintry shadows over the campus, the north wind whistled around the corner of the Museum in its chilling path. He clutched, but instead of snow he found the moistened silky head of many seeding dandelions. Muttering he stood erect and quickly brushed the tiny pursuits away and started on It's a sad story. Yet it is a true story, the white headed seeds appear like snow under the street lights, and nothing is done to stop their ravages. The ground was lightly covered with a grayish awn, a dare to Spring to make her final entry into Kansas. A man was seen to staple to take a handful of the flimy filmie, perhaps to make into a frozen ball. JUST STATISTICS There seem to be a lot of people who don't get along very well in this world. Sometimes it seems hard for most of us, but after examining some figures completed by the Save-Life League, life shows us as a brilliant spectacle after all. In 1922, the survey shows 12,000 suicides, of whom one third were women. The list includes 38 college and university students, 50 college professors and school teachers, 19 members of religious professions, 62 judges and lawyers, 84 physicians, 100 heads of large business concerns, and a number of bank presidents. The oldest suicide was 100 and the youngest 5 years old. Many of the motives for suicide are sill, whimsical, and sill are unjudicious. One woman killed herself "just to get a new thrill." Without a doubt she experienced the thrill that comes once in a life time. A man killed himself because he had to give up golf. It is sad and pathetic to find that over 900 children committed suicide in 1922. In 1919 there were only 474 child suicides. Last year 1000 ex-soldiers of the world war took their lives. Life is sweet, the pleasures of the world are at our doors.

FISH BAIT A few years ago several goldfish, salamanders, and other species of water life were placed in Potter's lake. It was the hope of those who made the contributions that a little bit of nature might be allowed to thrive on the campus and incidentally beautify the lake to a certain degree. The little fish have done well. Situated as it is close to sod and trees, Potter lake catches many bugs and other delicate morsels of food for them. But some people have found that the little bright colored fish make fine bait for larger fish. Almost any day one may see a couple of persons at work with a small dip net and some crumbs, catching "bait" for all they are worth. And the people are seldom students. Something can be done, and should be done before the stock of goldfish is depleted. A sign at the watee's edge with just a suggestion that the lake is not the place to catch bait would work wonders. SHOVE THEM OFF Some faculty members have had the effort to complain because students are crowding them from the walks on the campus. They seem to think they have the same rights to the use of the walks as do students. At The Theater The students should not countance the holding of such an opinion on the part of their instructors. That they do not look upon it with favor is already demonstrated by the complaints from the faculty about the use of the walks. The students should ignore this sidewalk complaint. It is a sly move on the part of the professor toward achieving a plane of equality with the student. It is the straw whis shows which way the wind is blowing If it is not crushed in this incipient stage, the first thing we know the faculty will be running part of this University. A minstrel show is always good for several laughs, but when really excellent singing and vaudieure acts are added the result is an evening of entertainment. Harvey's minstrel provided such an evening for those who attended the show at the Bowersock last night. This is a matter which requires the co-operation of all students if we are to maintain our self-respect. C ahead and shave them from the walks. If he is an old or infirm professor it is so much the better. The faculty must be kept in its place. The Cuban Edwards on the wire demonstrated the fact that nature equips some of us with more joints than others, and his contortions and balancing work on the wire won him a round hand.

Margaret Jackson, soprano, had a remarkable range and quality. She was able to reach high C. She was also sung in the Italian language. The first part of the program was the traditional ministeral entertainment with the usual irrespeable end men. Some of the end men's lines were harry with age, but the crowd was unbothered. The guests then kindly—especially the galleries. Johnny Woods and Charlie Beechum on the ends deserve mention. With scarcely a tremor of the lips to betray him, Johnny Woods, ventriquit, made his mankin talk, sing, and even cough.
