Kansan Cub's Nose for News Uncovers Foul Play at Back Door of Our Filling Station
---
The path of the Bright Student carried him daily past the back door of the K. U. Commons. "Some day," thought he, "I am going to drop into that kitchen and find some good, snappy news there." For he was an embryonic, and ambitious young Kansas cub.

The days passed, and the Bright Student had almost forgotten his resolution. One morning he went to his 8:30 class with a feeling that something big was going to happen to him. As he traversed his accustomed trail behind the Commons he was alert, as all reporters should be, his "news nose" was thrust forward in an aggressive, inquisitive way.
As the Bright Student approached the back door of the building he saw a large sploit of something upon the sidewalk. When he came up to this sploit his heart leapt within him, for the sploit was blood of the mob, or rather of publish, and a path led from the box up to the back porch—rend, warm, flowing blood. Here, at last, was a scoop. He was the first to discover the murder. It would be the story of the year. The Bright Student would be sent on a journey than would telegraph it to all the big papers nearby. It would carry large top heads, and he

These recommendations are tenta- and no final action will be taken until the conference can fully consider criticisms.
He dashed inside. A cook in white cap and apron was the first person he accosted. "Did you see the murder? Who was it? I want to get all the details." Those were some of the questions the reporter fired at the heavier cooked room.
Some people have such a lack of delicacy. That cook might easily have broken the news gently. Did he kidly and gently answer, "My dear sir, you must be mistaken." Did he kidly and gently answer the situation? No, he did not. That crumple, unfeeling cook said, "Why you poor fish," (Here he called others to share the joke). "That stuff on the sidewalk is prune juice that was left in an emptied tin, I dropped it over my head in the garbage box." (Here he and his friends all laugh.)
There are of course many differences between the student who funkks part of his work and the one that makes all A's and B's. There is a new one. The other day a man stood in line at the registrar's office waiting his turn to get his grades for last semester. He seemed very happy and not the least bit worried and in addition it was noticed that there were no books tucked under the arm. He asked for his grade without the little bit of nervousness and the lady in an awkward way that in such and in any case the Grade C; another grade D; another grade F; another grade E; another grade L.
Behind this student in the line was a nervous looking girl, who had enough books under her arm to start up a small exchange and, who remarked as an acquaintance, that she would be returned to the answer that would be returned to her when it came her turn at the window. Finally it was her turn and the lady read off grades, that summed up to equal fourteen hours of A's, of hours of Fs. She heaved a stalk of books and headed away.
Now there arises the question, why did this girl seem so worried and the boy so care-free when the cases should have been vis-versa.
Reservations Made For Summer Session Class
Although it is three months until the opening of the Summer Session, sixty-four reservations have been made in the School of Fine Arts for the piano nominee. The school will serve Saar for three weeks from June 26 to July 14.
The cub turned, disheartened, crest-fallen—a licked cub. What was there to do? There was no news to write about. There was only one thing and that's what he did. He made a feature story of it.
Dean Butler announces that these reservations were made from eight states: Kansas, Georgia, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee, Texas, and New Mexico.

FACULTY GETS GRADE KULES
Senate Sends Grading Schedule To Instructors
General circulars were sent out last week by the University Senate to all members of the faculty, in regard to the meaning of the letters used in grading the student's grade. The Senate in 1913, and restated in 1917, and the circular is now being sent to the faculty members as a reminder of the exact meaning of the University grading system. The following is the main content of
1. The grades A, B, C, and D.
The first (A) should be reserved for work of marked excellence, indicating high honor.
The second (B) should represent very good work, of much more than average quality.
The third (C) should indicate that the work has been of good character, but rather of worse quality.

than fall within any one of the other
three passing grades. Recommendations

The lowest (D) should represent work, the lowest in quality that would enable a student to pursue, without undue lack of material, or of method, the next dependent course whether this latter be in the same department or in a related department. In case the course in question is not used as a basis for training, it may be equivalent to this should be observed.
2. The grades I and F.
The first (I) should indicate incomplete work, such as may be completed without re repetition of the regular work of the course.
The second (F) should indicate that the regular work of the course must be recounted.
Faculty members are requested to preserve this for future reference.
