PROBLEM OF ELIMINATION
Four hundred students, fallen by the wayside—and for various reasons! In a nutshell, that is the situation at Kansas as a new semester opens. Here are some of the various reasons that are advanced; Nervous breakdown; over-work; unusual situation at home; funks, and a pitiful insufficient bank account.
The first three excuses cover about two per cent of the cases and are plausible. The last named constitute the other ninety-eight per cent and are not, barring a few possible exceptions, even reasonable. The bare figures themselves would hardly be sufficient either to prove or disprove any pet theory of educational psychology. But they are significant enough when one considers the accusation popular in certain circles, that a majority of college students are out for a good time—not for an education.
The climax for most of these unfortunates came within the last month or two. But the foundations were laid last fail. The thought, "If I just hadn't spent quite so much right at first," or, "If I had only studied a little more right at first," is felt and often expressed by the student who is guilty of precrastination. The pitiful part of it is that this is true. The student who started right off with an accurate checking account and a determination to spend an average of three or four hours a day in his books, is still with us. And he's with us not because he is any smarter or more gifted, but because he respects his future and want father to get something for his mom even bees a 20th Century Lochin var in bell-bottom trousers.
John D. Jr. says he prefers to wear a suit he has owned for ten of fifteen years. He shows good judgment because in those days suits were of the all wool and a yard wide variety.
WHAT'S THE TROUBLE?
Information from the various deans' offices seem to indicate that more students flunked courses last semester than has been the rule in past years. No one seems to know just what the trouble is. Perhaps the entire volume of work at K. U has been made more difficult, or on the other hand perhaps it is due to the attitude of the student body. Figures will not be available for some time yet that will show just what classes of the University suffered most in deficiencies, but the general trend seems to indicate that more freshmen had trouble this year than usual.
Student opinion for the most part, is that courses this year have been conducted more strictly than usual. If this is true, and a different standard has been set, surely it is one great step to raise the scholarship of the University. Some students have boasted that they could attend
the courses and fool the professors,
and no double they have. Now if they have been hindered somewhat in this line of least resistance good has been accomplished.
If the flunks of this last semester have been due to increased work, and not to increased indifference on the students' part next June will probably see fewer flunks and more students who really know something about the reasons they have just finished.
It is hard to believe, but it has been reported that a woman has been discovered who had never heard of jazz music and who thought that shimmie was a drink.
It is reported that most of the foreign countries were forced to widen their official stationary to the extent of three inches so they could get all the figures of the indemnities etc., on one line in their monthly statements.
A New Jersey high school professor was dismissed because he introduced a number of jokes in a school entertainment that the audience and his fellow teachers considered indecent. This bears out Aristotle's theory that a joke is one of the most solemn things in the world.
Family skeletons are becoming quite the tough again since some one tapped a few kegs of wood alcohol up in New York State.

A man adduced to walking in his sleep went to bad one night, but when he awoke he found himself on the street in the group of a policeman. "I'm in my car," he rests me. "I'm a manumannulator." To which the policeman replied, "I don't care what your religion is--you can't walk the streets in yer night shift."
"Say does this car always make this noise."
Driver—"No, only when it's running."
"How do you know that Perkins didn't $g_{0}$ to college?"
"Why, he said he knew Babe Ruth when she was a chorus girl."

On Other Hills
After working out the averages of the co-eds in their departments of the University of California, Professor Bolin, of the department of Education, and Dr. S. L. Holmes, of the university, have come to their former belief, have concluded that the homely co-ed is no better adapted to university training than her pretty classmate. According to the statement, the "flapper" and the "tamp" amp* are not personal handicapped by their personal charms.
In sending invitations to the winter carnival at Dartmouth from February 9 to 11, the Outing Club has requested the young women to bring woolen mittens and stockings, high overshoes and warm t-sh-san-tanners. The club adds that last year's students have been as they tried to, standing in the snow, in pumps and silk, stockings, and this year the undergraduates wish them to look pretty and warm rather than expensive and cold.
Resolutions for the formation of a students' bank have been presented to the faculty council of New York University. Plans for the organization will be submitted and should be run on a non-profit-making basis. Deposits will receive 5 percent interest and the students will be granted checking accounts. The formation of the students' bank is by the New York State Banking Department.
Clocks run faster at night than in the day time, according to a discovery made by Dr. R. H. Tucker, one of the astronomers of the Lick observatory, conducted near San Jose, Calif., by the University of California.
Tells Why Time Is So Fleeting
The method of observation consisted of watching three standal clockes between nine o'clock in the evening and three o'clock in the morning and observing their position in relation to the position of a list of stars whose places are already known with a high degree of precision.
According to Dr. Campbell, director of the observatory, "the ultimate cause of the phenomenon is obscure. In the observations by fundamental light source, we cannot upon the constancy of the clock rate through the 24 hours of the day, these errors would reach their maximum values between 0.02 and 0.03 seconds at about six hours from the time of the observation."—The Michigan Daily.
President Walter Dill Scott of Northwestern University expresses the aim of college life thus: "if I interested at Northwestern in the de-
partment, I will take this purpose. I favor Latin, but not
otherwise. If intercollegiate athletics contribute to the development of our students, individually and collectively,
Plain Tales from the Hill
Northeast war mornings, have held an indignation meeting to protest against unwarranted publicity against them in editorials in several eastern city papers. "Not One Perfect Lady at Northwestern" was the title of a libelous paper appearing in several papers applying to a so-called morality test to Northwestern women. The test originated in an article in the Collegiate World written by a friend of a Smith college woman who had taken the test there. Various readers of the Collegiate World writen the most shocking answers conceivable. As a result a playfully written feature story was published in the university paper at Northwestern. It was colorfully rewritten by a press syndicate and published broadcast.
A notice on the bulletin board in East Ad reads;
FANCY TABLE MANNERS PHI DELTA PHL
Seems to be a new departure in advertising. Why don't some of the other fraternities take it up? Think of the case of raiding after an advertising campaign emblazoned with dooms like these:
"Twenty pairs of new blankets just purchased"
"Best cook on the hill!"
"No hash"
He had just finished Professor Hopkins' course in versification when he wrote:

Regret
I'm filled with remorse, since taking this course.
I've worked very hard, and you know it.
Be that as it may, you can't really say.
With much perspiration, I've sought inspiration,
For a song that would live through the ages.
But I needn't tell you, that the verse that I do.
that I do
Will put me in History's pages.—R. B.
