Some people are anxious to know how the University's cake eater population will look pitching papa's wheat this summer.
WE ALL MAKE 'EM
Kansan reporters come in for a brief rebuke in a letter to the Kansan from Sherwin F. Kelley, Mr Kelley requested publication of the speech he had prepared as representative of the Graduate School for the annual Student Day convocation, and, in it he stated that he would like to see more accuracy on the part of reporters for the Kansan.
We will admit the Kansan reporters make mistakes and many of them; so do the editors o the Kansan; and so do the reporters and editors on every paper in the entire world. "To err is human," one once one wisely remarked, and newspaper workers are no exception.
But while we all make mistakes—every one admits that—there is no class except newspaper men which nas its errors placed before the eyes of the world daily. The business man makes mistakes in his books and accounts, but aside from a few clerks or subordinates, no one ever knows it.
The work of any beginner in any course offered by the University is packed with mistakes, but no one except his instructor and perhaps the other members of the class knew of them. In time, as he gains experience his efforts are improved.
The beginner in journalism at the University reports at the news desk within a few days after he has enrolled in the course. He goes out for a story and comes in with it. Naturally his work is far from perfect, yet critical observers expect an accurate and well-written account.
So in all fairness we ask obsers to be more lenient toward us. We are willing to admit that we make our mistakes and are not finished newspaper workers, but we doubt that graduating engineers could go out and assume charge of a large project; that a law student could go out and handle a large case without a few mistakes; and that members of the dramatic club could compete with John Drew without a week or so of actual experience. Think the matter over, ye critics.
THOSE QUEER WOMEN
It's housecleaning time now, and every daughter of Eve throughout the land has the furniture-moving urge.
Furniture moving is a disease that is prevalent among the females of the species. A man could live in the same house for seventeen years, and when he rode in a hearse to the City of Stone the tables, chairs and all other articles of furniture would be in exactly the same places they occupied when he first caught sight of them. Men hate to see a change in such things; they like to come in every night and find the old may chair in the same position they left it in the morning.
But the women –oh, they're different, boys, they're different. No woman is really happy unless she can entirely rearrange all her household belongings at least every week. The tired husband comes home some night and neglects to turn the light on immediately. He puts his package of cigarettes on what he has always assumed was a study table, and rinds when the light is on that they are nesting coily in a box of face powder. Or perhaps he comes home another night and finds himself going to bed on a chiffonier before he realizes the床 has been moved.
But we can forgive them that, as we forgive everything. The woman ordinarily is in the house most of the day every day, and no doubt the appearance of the furniture gets mighty monstrous. We'll give their credit; they can make a happy, habitable place out of what is more or less of a hog pen when a man stays in it alone.
Have you received a letter on "how to Make a Mint of Money Selling Aluminum Ware" yet?
GENERAL GREEK LETTERS
Now that so much is being said about the status of honorary and professional organizations on the campus it might not be amiss to mention a few facts about the general Greek letter fraternities.
To begin with there are "general Greek letter fraternities It is only in the Middle West that they are designated as social fraternities. Not a little of the censure which has been heaped upon the fraternity system in this part of the country has been due to the fact that the students in talking of them have called them social fraternities as opposed to the honorary and professional organizations.
Since many of them are not essentially social in their activities why should they be termed social. Few organizations devote their energies to giving dances, dinners and teas. It is from these organized groups that many of the university activities are initiated. It is often the case that the most outstanding and constructive students of the campus are members of these organizations. In actual practice the amount of social activity carried on by these groups is very small compared to the many other projects they carried through. Since their purpose is general constructiveness and is not narrowed down to one field of activity, why not help the fraternity system as a whole by referring to these associations as general Greek letter fraternities? The word "social" is the stigma which puts the blemish on the situation and fills the minds of the people of the state with prejudice and ridicu
They're holding "The Sheik," Rodolph Valentino, on a charge of bigamy. And so that's the end of the "masterful man."
THOSE DRINKING FOUNTAINS
Who ever conceived the idea of putting in these trick drinking fountains we have at this University, any way? They must be the result of the san- tation wave that swept Kansas like wildfire some years ago, and while they may be sanitary, that's all you can say for them—for ease in drinking they can't begin to compare with the ordinary creek
One like asks to fill his nose and ears while drinking and when such accidents do happen, he generally prefers to get some water in his mouth also. But those misfit drinking fontains of ours don't pretend to fill the mouth—they are merely teasers.
If the University of Kansas can't have better drinking facilities than those in use at present, we suggest that a few wells be put here and there on the campus. Ordinary hand pumps or windmills could be used to convey the water from the bottom of the well to the top, and thence to the parched student throat. We would at least have cold water then, and be able to drink without carrying a towel.
Ford joke no, 1,998,756,394—A current rumor says that a Ford car was accidentally dropped in the newly-lipped cornerstone of the Lawrence high school.

More specifically, when a student enrolls in the dramatic art class in the department of public speaking he buys each of the plays which he uses through the year and makes a deposit on all manuscripts used; a deposit which more than covers the cost of typing the whole play.
Filled with the thought that soon we part;
Oh, Knasas, grant that from this day,
I'll bear thee love deep in my heart.
During his recent visit to Chicago, Marshall Joffre, hero of the Marine, was the guest of Northwestern University, where the degree of LLD was conferred on him. Dean James A. Nelson, a graduate school sociology of the French soldier, said that it was an "adventure of the principal that a soldier of the ranks should be treated as an intellectual human resource among the officers and the menproduces results superior to the discipline of fear."
Student Opinion
F. C. Allen, Director
Specifically this is a case of "Where Does My Money go?" Students do not object to paying a fair amount of laboratory equipment when they really receive the equipment. But when they are asked to pay for something which they never receive it is something of a different matter.
Students are too prone to criticise the faculty and the University authorities regardless of whether they have a real case or not. With full realization of this tendency I still feel that there are some things in and about the campus that might easily be improved.

WHERE DO FEES GO
If the play demands any special costuming the student must furnish his own regardless of whether he must beg, borrow, or rent it. In short the student supplies everything he needs in the whole coars with the exception of the makeup used twice during the semester.
Now as the end of the semester draws near the whole class is asked to contribute a fifty cent laboratory fee for the makeup used. With thirty in the class, using the makeup on two different occasions, five dollars would amply cover the cost of everything used.
A Senior.
But that isn't all. When it come to use the makeup on these two memorable occasions the makeup is of little importance; of fact it doesn't make any differ-ceive the equipment. But when they need in the whole course with the exe- timent. Judging from appearances this semester you purchase this semester or even last.
In view of those facts it does seem that the students have a right to demand an explanation of what becomes of the fifty cent laboratory fees.
On Other Hills
The University of Texas will have Memorial week beginning May 21 to organize plans and committees for a Union building drive. The building when constructed will be known as the Texas Memorial Building.
Over $211,000 was subscribed by the classes of 1922 and 1924 of Cornell to the class memorial fund.
In order to eliminate confusion in registering in the fall, University of Nebraska students are required to register for the school year 1922-23 between May 15 and 20. Those not registering during this time will have to pay a late enrollment fee. The new freshmen are especially bemused by the difficulty actually the only one registering in the fall. The plan was tried for the first time this last semester and proved very satisfactory.
The law students at the University of Iowa created a sensation this week when they tried a breach-of-promise game between Bimbe Gump and cartoon fame.
The students of the University of Michigan are going to film a play in an effort to show the public a clearer and more accurate conception of life on the campus than the cinema of the movie. The cast, ten by one of the students and the cast of characters will be selected from the student body.
The annual season "when a young man's fancy lightly turns to—" is here but we must hand it to the Daily Northwestern with their modern expression of an old story when they overlook the fact that upperclassmen are suddenly their vests free of all adorments and turn to this idea: "New Diamonds Ready for Freshmen."
The University of Minnesota is the only one of the "Bier Ten" schools which still elects the editors of major publications by all-university elections. Widely varying methods are used in the other schools. However, these authors have consistently universes except Minnesota. It is that both business managers and managing editors are chosen by boards, not by popular election.
The bureau of railroad detectives of Chicago has issued a bulletin concerning those who steal rides on trains. It is not the venerate nor the outlaw, but the college student, states the bulletin. It isn't lack of funds that causes the student to follow this adventuresome way of transportation, but it is more for association with officers of beating the railroad companies.
