FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1923 One can not help smiling at the ostimism of the youth who wired the following during the mid-semester coming home, as it is for the best." SUGAR COATED Those august legislative bodies, the Senate and the House of Representatives of these United States have erected another monument to the Jacksonian brand of statemanship. The sugar barons, after repeated efforts to get action in the Lower House, have at last succeeded in lobbying their 4-million dollar program through. Congress is going to reimburse these estinable gentlemen to the extent of four million dollars "for losses sustained during the deflation period." That B. H. Howell & Sons and De Ronde & Co, the two importers benefited by the measure, have no legal claims on the government is evidenced by the fact that their agents applied to Congress for help. The regular claim adjuster in such matters has always been the Court of Claims, which is authorized to make good losses for which the government is directly responsible. It would seem that, had these importers had a clear case, they would have taken it up "through channels." The sugar magnates have even less of a case on the grounds of moral obligation. For while there was no written agreement between Attorney-General Palmer and the import houses, it was generally understood that they were to be allowed a profit of a cent a pound, with the risk of a return to normal prices before they could deliver, and a subsequent loss Why these companies sought to break the American sugar market wilt Argentine sugar, unless they expecte to make a "killing" has never been explained. It is just another big piece of "pork barrel" politics. If the sugar interests are entitled to rebate, something is certainly due to the stockman and the wheats grower, many of whom went to the wall when the crash came. It is hard to believe that we are gullible enough to send such men to Washington to direct our destinies and appropriate our money. Things seem about as retten as they ever were. We have learned nothing from the war except a few French "cuss-words" What if the little son-of-a-gum does see his shadow? Oh well, we've had a mighty good winter so far. WE BELIEVE P. C. Which should one believe—Mr Grounddog or Pete Conner? The former says "no" and the latter answers "yes?" to the question "will there be six weeks of cold weather yet?" When Mr. Groundhog emerged the morning for his 1923 debat—jus about the time the sun was scheduler to appear—he slipped, the ground was very slick. But that didn't send him back into his hole, only his shadow could have done that. He enters tains the belief, along with all his followers, **that** the recently begun winter is now broken. And no one except P. Connor has the nerve to dispute him. Tradition, you know, must not be trampled on. Mr. Groundhog is still at large. And according to Pete he stands a fairly good chance of having his tail frozen off. Judging from the vacant places at table, most of us went through "Hell Week" last week. THE CAMPUS ARTIFICIAL The type of beauty of the University campus is undergoing a rapid change—a change from the free, untrammelled attractiveness of the native Kansas hills to the nicely groomed, restricted appearance of a city park. It is doubtless a sign of progress, an indication that the University is prosperous and well-established; and yet there are those of us who feel a pang of regret at the transformation. A long sweep of green turf slopes gently down from the crest of the hill to the athletic field below—that is what one used to see just behind the Administration Building. The view was a delight to the lover of nature. But now as the eye follows the curves of the hill, it is arrested suddenly by a forbidding eight-foot fence of steel wire, which divides the slope in a jagged line. True it is a good fence, strong, tight and new, but it is a fence. It lends to that part of the ground a shut-in appearance. Last fall, that bird paradise, the undergrowth in Marvin Grove was cleared away, leaving only the stately trees with the clean ground underneath. Possibly from the standpoint of a landscape gardener the removal of the brush was necessary; at least the destruction of the little "jungle" added a touch of "civilization" to that portion of the campus. Surely it is foolish to wish for a bit of the woods where we*can see it each day. And so we must be reconciled to the changes; our campus must be subdued and made "correct." Even now the axen are preparing to fell the groves of tree just behind Snow Hall; another beauty spot of the grounds might give us to a new building. Only one hope holds out for us who care for the woods; perhaps we can persuade the landscape gardener to place a roof garden on top of the new library and make for us an artificial "jungle." Still, if you run all the cars off the campus, how are some of these Wafer Kings going to get their dates? THE BAT "The Bat," that most gripping of melodramas by Mary Roberts Rinehart and Avery Hopwood, is back in Lawrence for the third time in two years. And it will probably get a house at this appearance. There is no denying the fact that The Bat is an artificial stimulator for the fagged and book-weary brain. It keeps you on the edge of your seat for three hair-raising acts and it also keeps you guessing. It is strong enough in the high spots to make elderly ladies swallow their gum and there are some who doubtless find it hard to turn out the light when they go to bed. But it is clean, and that is the main thing. Whatever harmful effects it could have are not lasting. And, thank Heaven, it does not try to settle a moral problem by evading it. Jean Brown: Has Phyllis Depew got a brother on the hill? It seems to me that I have heard of Channeey Depew. Plain Tales From The Hill Professor Dumlap—I don't know you people very well yet, so you will have to hold up your hands for two or three days. M. Hughes--Yes, he's a Kappa Sig. Johnson—We must invite him down for dinner, he's being talked about so much. Dinner at Alpha Delta Pi house. V. Johnson—Who is this man Coue? Is he on the hill? Glick Schultz—Two or three days is an awful long time. Professor in English Department—The only thing I remember much about Henry V is that he had so many friends that he was a pretty good friend.

B.' 2015, is a member of the Greenwich Village Follies cast, now showing at the Shubert theatre in Kansas City. Miss Sawyer appeared in several Dramatic Club plays while in the University, one of them being "Her Husband's Wife" for which she is remembered in a strong part. She was a member of Alomnama. After graduation from Chicago City Class staff for a while, and later went on the stage. A number of her friends are planning a theatre party to Kansas City this week and hope to enjoy a short visit with her. "Scop" E. E. Olson, B.

Twenty women of the University of Illinois have signed up for boxing. This is the first organized boxing by the women of that University. Classes will be held outdoors as long as weather permits. University Hall, of the University in which many presidents of American colleges have received their diplomas, is being torn down and will be replaced by a million dollar building which will be the new home of the College of Literature, Science, and Arts. J. C. McCANLES, Director. No freshmen were admitted to Adelbert College at he opening of the second semester. The action was taken chiefly because of the difficulty of arranging freshmen programs. Lack of space and inadequate facilities were also dominant factors influencing the decision of the executive committee. Excavation of the site for the new $100,000 men's dormitory at Whitman University, Walla Walla, Wash., is progressing in fine shape under the direction of O. D. Keen, general contractor. Surveyors stakes were set on the excavation surface to readiness for the completion excavation in as short time as possible. WANT ADS FOR SALE—Recently overhauled Oliver typewriter.
