Survey Disproves Popular Conception That Best Work is Done in Morning
DEAN KELLY HAS DATA
Important Data on Cost of Opening School Has Been Compiled
Students enrolled in afternoon classes at the University of Kansas made practically the same grades as students in morning classes, according to a study just completed by F. J. Gardner, an emeritus of the secular conception, at least among students, has been that the best work was done in the morning, but the figures indicate little to choose between foreclosure and afternoon in reentry. "A" in "a course." The count, reduced to percentages of student credit hours, shows the following for students in the College of Liberal Arts:
Fresh-Spnp:
Morning classes ... 10 24 34 17 4 1
Afternoon classes ... 9 25 31 17 3 1
Junior-Senior:
Morning classes ... 15 34 33 10 4
Afternoon classes ... 24 38 25 10 4
Afternoon English Better In the freshman-sophomore group, fewer students obtained "A" and more failed in the afternoon classes, but among the juniors and seniors the op-termosted grades were the freshman English classes showed the better grades in the afternoon hours.
The comparison of morning and afternoon grades was only one of a large number of surveys made by Dean Kelly.
Another survey showed the approximate time spent by students in preparation of lessons in various courses, disclosing that some student credits required almost twice as much time as did others.
H. S. History is Average
H. S. history is Average
A questionnaire to a limited number of freshmen in the fall of 1921 disclosed that some high school courses, such as the commercial required only two chucks, much time of outside preparation as did the science or foreign language groups. The average time required by 360 students to prepare history lessons was 8.14 hours a week—close to the average for all high school subjects.
Other surveys completed last year covered experience, training, and teaching load of the faculty members.
More important, from the standpoint of the University, are surveys made by Dean Kelly of the costs of operating that institution. "Overhead," taking in all the expenses of the University plant other than the actual cost of instruction, was discharged and replaced by student credit hours. These studies form the basis for future apportionment of University funds.
W. S. G. A. TO MAKE LOAN
Pearl Pugh Elected Manager of Book Exchange
A student loan fund of $200 was voted upon and passed last night by the W. S. G. A., according to a state representative, who will identify. This will do away with the $50 gift fund for scholarship which has formerly been given. Define plans have not yet been made, but being worked out by the committee.
This loan fund is being made so that the W. S. G. A. can put back into their hands some of the money given by the students of the University, and so increase the work of the organization at large.
The W. S. G. A. has also subscribed for three magazines to be placed in Fraser Rest Room.
Pearl Pugh was elected Book Exchange Manager at this meeting and Marjorie Day, Freshman Representative.

Professor Thurnau Tells of Conditions in War-Worn Europe
An Amsterdam reporter paid a 1,000 knon note, the national bank note of Austria, which is normally worth $200, for a package of cigarettes worth 25 cents. These notes are now being given away in Europe, according to Prof. H. C. Thurnau, of the department of German.
Professor Thurnau conducted a party under the business management of the Temple Tours, of Boston, through Europe this summer. In the party were Irene Pearson, c23, of Kansas City; Mrs. H. E. Tenneman, and Mrs. Ida Luckan, of Lawrence. The party was attended by many tourists through England, Scotland, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Switzerland and Italy. After a three-month's tour they returned on September 8. "The Passion Play, which was given at Oberammergau, Bavaria, for the first time since 1910, attracted many tourists to Europe this summer," said Mr. Thurnau. "The play was much more impressive than it was two years ago." Anton Lang, who took the part of Christus, played for the first time in all other roles were entrusted to new performers, a'1 of whom did creditably.

strikes in Italy," continued Mr. Thrurnau. "Hotel prices are much higher than before the war, but the accommodations are good. The prices are not excessive when compared with hotels of the same grade in America. Even in the devastated regions the accommodations are good. A new hotel, which is being built at Ypres, is among them. Many of these places are dependent on tourist trade. In Switzerland the hotels are practically deserted. The few people who were there were Americans or wealthy Englishmen."
Traveling Expenses in France Are Reasonable
Professor Dent visited in England for three weeks following his sojourn in France. The trip was entirely for pleasure.
"This talk about high prices which the French are supposed to have instituted for American tourists is apparently all wrong," said J. A. Dent, of the School of Engineering, who was in France for eight weeks this summer. "Traveling is cheaper there," he continued, "than it is in this country. We have a great deal of difference, but the French are not holding up the tourists quite as badly as the reports indicate."
Henley Hall Mecca Of University Women
Henley Hall was given to the W. Y. C. a. last winter by Mrs. A. Henley, 713 Louisiana Street, for the purpose of making it a home for every woman on the campus, and in the few months that had more than fulfilled this purpose.
It is a place to go to read, write letters, sew, rest or meet friends—anything that a woman would want to do in her own home. Several different organization uses it for their meetings and it is open to others, if they make arrangements so that no conflicting dates will occur.
The kitchen is open to any who wish
have fudge or dinner parties. Many
irls go to Henley Hall to shampoo
them, and they later water which is
iped into the house.
Many people of Lawrence and organizations on the Hill donated, at the housewarming in the spring, the majority of the furnishings of the attractive living rooms and well equipped office. Mrs. Thayer has loaned Henley Hall several beautiful paintings from her collection.
Henley Hall is the Association center, where Marie Ruse, general secretary, has her office. It is also a residence for three students, and Miss

Aerobroading Club Formed
A debating club has been formed by students. At the first meeting held a School afternoon, the students showed great interest, according to Prof. H. A. Cunningham, who has charge of this activity. "Tryouts for the team will not need for a few weeks, and in many cases you can do it," work. We will probably enter the state league," said Mr. Cunningham.

"LuckyCurve"

How Parker Pens put Capillary Attraction to actual use

IF EVER an instructor asks you to name a practical use of the scientific principle of capillary attraction—just cite the Parker Pen with its leakproof "Lucky Curve" feed. All fountain pen makers were baffled for years by the so-called "sweating" of pens. Inked fingers still cause many complaints except from those who use Parker Pens.
For Geo. S. Parker solved the problem by inventing the "Lucky Curve" illustrated above. It forms a contact with the wall of the ink barrel and no matter how much ink surrounds it the capillary attraction regulates the flow—it is steady! even and positive at all times.
This is one of the cardinal reasons that the Parker Pen is in such high favor with educators and student bodies. A pen that a balm—not a distraction—uhn goes.
This is one of the cardinal reasons that the Parker Pen is in such high favor with educators and student bodies. A pen that's a help — not a distraction — when one is concentrating the mind on study or instruction.
To all students一
Come and try the Parker at the pen counter designated below —try several points to find just the right degree for your individual hand.
Prices start as low as $2.50 notwithstanding that all Parker Pens have 14 kRoll gold points that cannot rust, corrode or tarnish, and all are made with the same jeweler's accuracy and finish as the famous 25-year Parker Pens that became America a leader in less than a year from its introduction.
The older students know we welcome their coming to try Parker Pens whether they buy or not—and we feel the same way toward the freshmen.
