Much may be said about the need of social reform at American universities and, since we are particularly in our own Alma Mater, we may discuss at great length "snow-checks," forveries, social extravagance" and poor scholarship among the K. U. students, but the majority of violations of the moral code are committed by very few students. The net result of all this discussion may be, as, additional rules by the student governing associations; University authorities more stringent; honest students greatly troubled; and some unfavourable publicity for K. U. WARPED AND INFERIOR MATERIAL All of these inconveniences are necessary, so it seems, because an infinitive group of students here do not follow the laws of common sense and honesty. This situation may be said to have resulted from the "open-door" policy which this university, in common with other state educational institutions, have had towards the admission of new students. It is obvious that an ounce of investigation before-hand is worth a pound of welfare work done after inferior men and women are matriculated in the University of Kansas. To consider the individuals who make up this small troublesome group is to discover at once that in the majority of cases their failure is not the result of their university environment. Take the man who errs while a student here, and an investigation may show that he "skidded" through the high school because of parental influence. or he may have had the reputation in his home-town of a "good-fork-making" rowdy and spendthrift. Now there is a well-defined connection between the man who writes, snow-checks here and the boy who had the reputation in his home town as a "spend-thrift," The man who falls in his courses here, probably failed in his high school courses. We hope that the university environment is not conductive to thievery and it is our belief that somewhere along the career of the few thieves here, earlier instances of this weakness may be found. Or the foolish woman here—because of whom all university women suffer—did not, as a rule, err through university influence. These illustrations only point out the glaring fact that if it is necessary to admit prospective students without any investigation then there must be police on the campus; and there must be stringent faculty regulation of men and women, who, supposedly, are capable of self-management. With this almost unrestricted admittance our class-rooms may be filled with the incompetent, the unprepared and the frivolous. And the social life carries a fungus growth which too frequently is mistaken for the sturdy student body. The necessity of higher scholastic standing, the abolition of dishonesty, the inmate honesty of the majority of the students and lastly the saving of the state's money all point to the wisdom of requiring high scholastic standing and sincere purposes expressed from those who want to enter the University of Kansas. THE LINDSBORG CHORUS As an enterprise of astounding proportions, the Lindsborg Chorus, has received much favorable comment. It is a big thing in Lindsborg, attracting to the little community of a few hundred souls the favorable comment of the entire musical world. The little group, composed chiefly of people of Swedish descent immei- dual with all their inherent love of music, has demonstrated to the people of the United States that music can be a part of the life of people in any place and is something in which all may have a part. Through the untiring efforts of the supporters the chorus has been put on its feet permanently and the annual festival has become to Kansas what the Passion Play is to Oberammeau. Now a movement to produce some sort of a festival in other communities has been started. The work has already begun in many places and with the aid of the experience of the people of Lindsborg should prove a success. At the age of even four, or five embryo musicians are placed in the orchestra with a score of the music before them so that they may become thoroughly familiar with the music. For some time they are not permitted to play but always have their instruments with them, soaking up the very spirit of the thing itself. If the ambitions of the people of Lindsberg are realized it will not be long before communities throughout the country will have adopted the plan of giving an annual festival. With this as a background who knows but that the coming generations may be fitted to give us what we have for a long time needed—a national spirit in music, something that we can call our own and that will show American characteristics predominantly. Plain Tales from the Hill A notice posted in Spooner reads: WILL GERMANY PAY? Come to WOMEN'S FORUM and find out. Too bad some of our puzzled international diplomats did not know of this meeting.
