SOME "CO-OP" FACTS
A co-operative bookstore for K. U. has been the subject for discussion at various times, but little action has been taken thus far to find out the advisibility of such a plan. During leisure time a graduate student at the University has made a study of cooperative bookstores at other institutions. Questionaires were sent to a senior or graduate student in twenty-seven universities.
Answers were received from all but three. The thirteen universities which reported as maintaining successful co-operative student bookstores were: California, Oregon, Minnesota, Texas, Missouri, Cornell, Harvard, York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Stanford, Wisconsin, and North Dakota.
Nebraska reported that the University Management itself had been conducting the sale of books to students very successfully. Oklahoma reported a similar plan to go into effect, February 1, 1922. Columbia maintains a Press which takes care of a considerable volume of its book trade. Indiana and Illinois each answered as maintaining an arrangement on price schedule with a private firm.
Northwestern and the University of Pittsburgh told of the maintenance of very successful book exchanges. Of the twenty-four answers received only one bordered on adverse criticism. Washington stated that the plan had not been used long enough to determine fairly.
As to profits the University of California and North Dakota range the highest. The former ranges from 8 to 12 per cent in rebates. The University of North Dakota returned 2 per cent on cash sales and 16 per cent on merchandise sales last year. Almost all the stores sell books at list price, but some sell other materials on cost-plus basis.
The California bookstore has been running since 1864; the University of Texas has maintained one since 1866. The University of Texas "Go-op" returned $15,000 in rebates to students last year.
Why should not K. U. have a cooperative bookstore? If Texas can save its students $1,500 in one year on books and supplies, Kansas ought to do as well. If K. U. is to retain a position as one of the most progressive and leading institutions of higher education, a "Co-Op" equal to those in other institutions, must be installed on Mount Oread. This is our banner year, and a successful co-operative method of handling books and supplies should be started before the year is gone. "K. U. 'Co-op' Store" will be a reality if the students get behind—not an untried project—but one that has proved its worth many times.
We wonder if the bone of contention is the bone in Bonus.
WALK ON FOUR AND NEVER BE ILL.
A French professor tells us that we should never be ill if we walked on all fours. We have stood a great deal from doctors and professors. We let them talk us into standing on our heads in a corner of the room. At their instigation we bought stretches and stretched until our vertebrae cracked. We let them shoot us full of electricity. We let them harness us up with braces and pads until we feel like drapeshes. We let them search our interiors with X-rays and violet rays. We let them sell us all kinds of exercising machines. At their advice we twist our joints and torture our muscles in gymnasia.
We have been a very gullible and tractable lot but this thing of walking on all fours is too much even for that hardy ruminant—the great American goat.
Think of picking up a magazine and reading something like this: "He sat in front of the fireplace; his hind feet were curled up under him and his front feet clad in patent leather shoe gloves wide apart in front of him. His jaw was firm; his back was arched. Then suddenly he roars to all fours, and moved toward the rose-colored tulle cloud about the slender form cuddled in the chair. With one front foot he bent her little head back and kissed her."
No, Mr. French professor, this is too much for even the American goat to fathom. For the present at least, two feet are all that we care to manipulate gracefully, even though the use of more is a healthful gambol to less sickness.
Thirty intellectuals are trying to find out what is the matter with America. This reminds us of that famous passage; "Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country."
WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH THE LAW PROFESSION?
The bar association has been making what might be termed an introspection. They have at last realized that the public was not attacking their profession merely because it seemed to be a popular sport, but on account of more deep-rooted reasons. When the Chief Justice of the United States characterized our criminal law as "a disgrace to civilization," and condemned the civil side of our courts for justice-defying delays, he started a vigorous movement to lift the standards of the legal profession. The bar associations themselves say that low-grade law schools and low-grade bar examination have combined to make a low-grade bar. It is true; there has been an invasion of the unfit into the profession, but the cause cannot all be laid at the doors of low grade commercial law schools and "sham" office reading.
The lawyers who piloted Aristoclea through two trials cannot be classed with the incompetent. They seem to be extremely proficient in dodging actual administration of justice. They are eager to advance individual interest with their knowledge of the law but reluctant to uphold the public function of the law, that of guiding the community into ways which make good life possible.
"The law is a public profession," say members of the bar associations, "by which, more than any other profession the economic life and the government of the country are moulded." But according to statements made by Dean Pound of Harvard and other men in the profession, it has intensified, instead of helping to solve the difficulties arising from the great concentration of capital; it has intensified, instead of helping to solve, the growing industrial conflict. Lord Bryce testified that the prestige of the legal profession has been measurably lowered in recent decades. Some decisions handed down by distinguished and high minded judges lead us to believe that the deterioration of the prestige of the law profession is not entirely due to shyster and poorly educated lawyers. The intellectual standard undoubtedly has something to do with it, but, not by any means all. The standards of leadership of the bar have put the most effective check upon judicial administration of justice.

About their pinkish faces.

Concipulous in
Their hats,
Which wore
So wide they seemed
Like Japanese sun shades.
A merchant from Grassville Said girls looked Just like Airplanes Just about to take The air in far flung flight.

For they thought
Manhattan

Where they teach
Students to herd cattle.
Student' Health Code
Pneumonia is spread from one person to another by coughing, sneezing, spitting or by handling such articles as handkerchiefs, spoons, knives and forks which have been soiled by discharges from the nose and throat. When these germs get upon the carpets, articles of furniture, or clothing that is being used, they live for a long time and may cause the disease if they ever reach the mouth or noses of people handling these articles.
Tuesday night the merchants
Came up to hear
A poet,
Whose verse
Did not rhyme
But what he said was true.
they saw the poet being
Wildly applaud,
And some
Asked why,
For many don't like
Verse as free as that and this
Pneumonia often follows a cold, because people do not pay much attention to colds. In addition there are other things which help to bring on pneumonia: A run down, poorly nourished body. The after effects of a great many diseases or after airuriage may also form have been given. Overwork, lack of sleep, excessive smoking, lack of proper exercise, breathing bad air, and other acts contrary to common sense care of the body. Exposure to severe冷, dampness and sudden chilling. Sudden changes in the mode of life, especially for elderly people. Pneumonia usually starts with a severe chill, loss of appetite, heavy sweating, and a lack of hours by blood splot. The main thing is to go to bed as soon as possible, and send for a doctor.

Every teacher moves either forward or toward the Educational scrap heap. Last year the most progressive employers in forty four states and three foreign countries asked for SERVICE for fill positions from dergarten to State University, OUR TENDER YEAR of recommending ONLY when asked to do so by employees. This is why discriminating against SERVICE when they need teachers. It is the only professional way.

THE BEST SPRING STYLES for your money
THE slant or turn of a lapel may be just enough to turn a young man away from buying a suit; they're very "finicky" about every little thing.
But we like'em that way; and we've got the clothes they want; suits and overcoats that are right in every detail.
