THE CRUCIAL TEST
The relative advantages of a college education have become almost self-evident. With the increased and ever increasing demand for specialization the question of whether or not one should go to college has almost ceased to be a debatable one. And yet there is still a question, and a very pertinent one, in the minds of many as to how much of what the rank and file of college students absorb is of value. And when one tried to argue with the skeptics he usually finds that actions are far more convincing than words.
In a week you will be leaving Mt. Oread for your two or three hundred respective communities. You have every reason to be proud of the University of Kansas and its enviable reputation among the universities of this country. You have every right to talk K. U. without a bit of apology in your voice. But—saying one thing and doing another is not apt to fool the public.
Up here we're all one big family and we're glad to make allowances for slips. Back home we find it considerably different. There are those who are deliberately watching for some breach—some indiscretion which will enable them to smugly nod their heads. If you are snobbish, they will notice that; if you don't amount to much, they will notice that; if you are forever getting into some scrape, it won't escape their notice. Maybe it's hardy fair for them to "lay for you," but they do it nevertheless. And the responsibility that that fact places on your shoulders is pretty big.
Go back home. Do your dead level best. Don't try to argue at all; just show 'em. Those who have gone before you have done that thing. And that is why Kansas is what it is today.
Put Kansas first!
An Independence, Kan., he lays eggs which, when treated with acetic acid and formaldehyde, make excellent golf balls, says a news item. The owner says he has refused $850 for her. That sound you hear is Baron Munchasen weeping for shame.
FINALS
Tomorrow we will have within our midst the ancient bugueb and enemy of the student—the final. Some there are who say the final examination is a relic of the Spanish Inquisition; others insist that finals are not a whit worse than the small pox. Regardless of where they were originated, we all know that they keep us burnt kilowear after kilowait into the wee smal hours of the morning.
Perhaps the time will come when we shall have no finals. Nearly every one said we would never have prohibition, but it appear nothing is impossible. But don't hold your breath until finals are abolished.
A MATERIAL BENEFIT
While everybody has been willing to audit that the Stadium was a mighty fine looking athletic plant, and helped to make the contests held here faster and of a higher class, there may have been some who have been unable to see just what material benefits the University of Kansas would reap from the expenditure of a half million dollars for this new field.
We have with us today, as they say on the platform, the first and most outstanding of these material benefits. The Missouri Valley Conference track meet, which opened this afternoon on the Stadium track, might have come to Lawrence in the old McCook Field days, but it would have been more nearly a nightmare than a track meet.
Today and tomorrow Kansas may be proud of the setting that she is privileged to offer for this classic of the cinder path. Athletes from every school in the Valley will dig their spikes into the finest year-old track bed in the country, and you can bet the limit that they are going home talking to themselves and to everybody else about the Kansas Stadium track. There's your material benefit
"Reed Strikes at Wilson," says a head line in the K. C. Star, and we wondered for an instant if they had gone from politics to pugilism.
THE LAST KANSAN
With this issue the University Daily Kansan takes unto itself a three-month rest. The old paper has been cussed and maligned through those past nine months as it has been in former years; still, the students and faculty are always glad to read it.
The Kansan will be missed by the seniors when they find themselves far from the fold; it will be missed this summer by undergraduates who are scattered to the far corners of this
and several states. But it will still be doing business on the first day of next semester. Until then, we bid you all goodbye.
If Conan Doyle were a student in this University he would have no time to hold intercourse with the spirits at the approach of quiz week. Such intercourse might do him good during the process of a quiz—but we doubt
THE OL SWIMMING HOLE
The time of year has now come when the minds of students lightly turn to thoughts of swimming. The old bathing suit is brought out and examined for possible holes or rents, and soon receives its first baptism.
But when the student arrives at the old swimming hole he finds a body of water, at the bottom of which is a layer of ooze several feet thick with occasional pinnacles of rock projecting up through it. Fragments of a tower float about on the surface. Ex-one-time raft and of an old diving tower float about on the surface. Except for these small inconveniences there is nothing lacking to make it a delightful bathing beach.
But really Potter's Lake has been shamefully neglected. All the conveniences and paraphanialis with which it was once enclosed have long since
Very little would be needed to make the lake a comparatively clean body of water, with a sand bottom containing no rocks, and the money could be for no better purpose. It would, of course, be necessary to employ a life guard also, but the cost would be slight. To obviate the criticism of various of the elder citizens of the town concerning the practice of parading through the streets wearing nothing but a bathing suit and a rain coat, inexpenasive dressing quarantra could be provided.
vanished. And Potter's Lake can be made into a place where hundreds of students can enjoy an outdoor recreation which is extremely beneficial during the last month of the winter session and the two and a half months of the summer session
This is, to be sure a purely utilitarian argument but on the other hand the cleaning up which would attend these improvements would go far towards fitting the lake for its place

The College Administrative Committee will meet at 8 o'clock TONIGHT in the Deer Office, 103 Brewer Hall.
Copy received by Florence E. Bliss, Editor, Chancellor's Office until 11:00 a.m.
COLLEGE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE:
Of course one must take into consideration, when viewing this recent action of our R. O. T. C., the fact that pressings establish charge mighty highly, and no true soldier would be seen without a crease in his trousers. But when one tries to picture those he-man troops, we can learn real He-Men troops in an honest-to-goodness battle, why, one's pictureur just refuses to function
Memorial Union Week is being observed at the University of Texas. Their plan is for the work this year to be of an informational and educational nature, the students working among the alumnus during the summer. The pledges will be taken next year.

STUDENT REGULATIONS FOR THE SUMMER SESSION:
The rule which confines parties given by University students or groups of students to Friday and Saturday nights will be in force during the Summer Session. Permits for these parties will be obtained at the office of the Dean of Women as always, and must be applied for three days before the party is to be held. No University students are permitted to attend unauthorized parties.
Anna Dudley Blitz, Dean of Women.
The date rule does not hold during the Summer Session, but the house closing rules are the same as during the year.
Remember, if you were in France during the recent unpleasantness how they used to call off the war whener it rained. Yes you do-not. Seems like a good skies didn't seem just right unless the skies were bended up and not downfall. And an American doughboy never felt natural and fit to fight unless he was wet from his head to his hobbies.

SUB-COMMITTEE ON HOUSING MEETS THURSDAY:
There will be a meeting of the Sub-Committee on Housing at 4:30 Thursday in Room 114, Fraser Hall.
Just when I thought I had got all the really good laughs out of this University life, along comes the announcement that the R. O. T. C. had called off its proposed sham battle on account of the wet weather.
Editor Daily Kansan;
For this reason I am trying to get set right with the old world again after having suffered intermittency for the past forty-eight hours with a series of convulsions brought on by violent laughter.
Just what is this R. O. T. C. anyway? I had understood that it was a military organization having the purpose of training college men to a
degree that they might be commissioned in the reserve corps of the United States army. Not the Italian nor the Czecho-Slovak nor the Comic Opera army, but the United State army. Am I right in this?
Anna Dudley Blitz, Chairman
If so, can you imagine, sometime along about 1925, another war such as the one just finished? Imagine, if you are fond of imagining, a dongyite Colonel, an erstwhile member of the K. U. R. O. T. C. stepping out of his dugout, if he would live in a dugout, on a rather cloudy morning. He looks at the barometer, casts a weather eye on the air, and checks the communications with the energy across No-Man's land, with the object of calling off the hostilities on account of inclement weather. "No battle Today Because of Wet Grounds," would be the sign hung up all along the lines, and all the troops would hike back to town somewhere, to hold high festival in honor of the God of
