Any Passing Grade Should Allow Last Year Students Freedom from Finals
The speakers at Student Day Conversation this morning were good matured and few critiquals were offered, Chancellor Lindley and the members of the faculty sat in the auditorium as seemed to enjoy everything that was
Dick Dungan, representing the School of Engineering, spoke first. The Engineer's chief complaint was that the first two years of the curriculum last the two years are not concentration offered are not broad enough rated enough. The Engineer's representative also stated that many free courses discouraged students from the School of Law. "The School of Engineering has a right to expect competent instructors, and also instructors, who will give grades in accordance with the effort the student puts in his work," said Dungan.
"Cap' Gavin represented the college in place of Burt Cochran who was unable to be present. He was severely wounded, severely criled the chemistry department.
The college asked that the seniors be exempted from final examinations regardless of their grade if they were doing passing work.
The point system was criticized in that a student should have only his share of college honors, and no more. As the case is now, honors come to the person who has done something, and the older man it not giving a chance.
The athletic situation was discussed by Garvin who said that the college wants more athletes to come to the University and urges that more system be used in giving jobs to athletes.
The "per cent" professor also was a severely criticised. "Some professors think that they must flunk a certain per cent of their students regardless of the grades they may," said Garvin. "These professors usually not more efficient than the per cent which they think they must提升."
"Since the professors in the School of Law keep to the rule that four unexcused absences keep a student from taking the final quiz, the rule should woo them. But the rule would be kept from giving finals," said Woodard.
Victor Woodward spoke for the law school and explained why students go to the School of Engineering to wear to wear their old jeans "be safe."
Ed White White, first vice-president of the Men's Student Council, spoke of the plans for next year, and数列了 the numbers of the new council.
Dowing to the ineligibility of John Fisher, president-elect of the John Student Council, Ed White will act as president of the Council next year, according to John Tracy, retiring president of the Council.

Prof. B. M. Allen Refuted Bryan on Evolution at Open
"The spirit of competition has produced fine animals, beasts, cunning, mind and the human species, but the progress of civilization is based on co-operation, the golden rule," said Professor M. Allen at the University of North Carolina Church Sunday night, to discuss Bryan's views of evolution.
"This is a Christian as well as a biological principle," continued Professor Allen, "and proves that there is no conflict between religion and evolution." The idea of evolution was instruments in bringing on the Great War.
"The Kaiser used a religious plea for the war along with the zoological plae of competition. In his assumption regarding evolution Mr. Bryan shows intolerance and bigotry," contiued Professor Alain马勒, "and he insisted that the public conscience to betray ends during the past fifty years."
Professor Allen stated that all of the noted evolutionists known in science, with one minor exception, were born before 1850. The names of Jordan and Kellogg.
"The theory of evolution does not weaken the concept of God," said the professor. "It is proved by the comparative structure of the different links of the missing links, and similar embryonic similarities in stages of development.
"Bryan went on to say that Charles Darwin was a mere guesser and his work all 'poppy-cock.' Darwin traveled around the world three years, and worked twenty years longer before he produced a pear of writing. His works are marked by dor, frankness, and completeness, but Darwin was not a guesser! This is a most unjust accusation!" insisted Professor Allen.
"The claim that evolution is all a guess is misinformation. Biologists believe it universally. You can see the hand of God in evolution; the theory of evolution does not rule the hand of God out of the universe!
"I have the best authority" continued the professor, "that Mr. Bryan would suppress research in Biology in the University of Nebraska, because he believes that it leads toocause the atheism, and lack of faith in God."
An open discussion followed. The general opinion voiced by every speaker was that religion and science do not differ fundamentally but only in terms of the way in which each is necessary to obtain a comprehensive view of the subject.

The features of the northern trip was the hitting of the Kansas team and the discovery of Bloomer as a pitcher. Bloomer, who has been holding down first base all this year, was placed on the Saturday against Drake and he turned back by a score of 5 to 2, allowing only six hits.
The first game win Ames was loosely played, with the score 11 to 7 in favor of Kansas. Both teams hit the ball hard with the bases full on and scored twice. With only for Kansas and allowed clemens hit but kept them well scutted. The Cyclones made frequent errors which cost them the game. The Jayhawkers were at no time in danger, leading throughout the game, and having a 9-run lead at one time.
In the second Ames game Kansas won by a score of 11 to 3. The content was one-sided and the Jayhawks in the fourth game when
sewed it up and five tallies. Catcher pitcher gave ball with the exception of one inning, the fourth, when Ames bunched a few hits and scored their three runs. Gray was unable to catch this game on account of an injured hand and Fraser received. A run by Uriahliab featured the game.
By rallies in the seventh and eighth innings, Kansas overcame a three run lead and took the first Drake game 4 to 3. Goope hited for Drake and hold the Jayhawks won both runs in the next two innings. Rocky hurried for Kansas and allowed only five hits. Two errors were responsible for one of the Drakes run. In the seventh Kansas started her run with the right field fence. Another run was put across the plate when Wentzel doubled and Dody singled. In the eighth the Jayhawks scored two more runs on a few hits. Drake errors and a miss. A combination of a foul by Gray featured the game.
Kansas completed her list of win by taking the last game from Drake 5 to Bloomer pitched a goo game for the Jajah team, and Kelvin Niggemeyer started the game for Drake, but he was replaced in the sixth by Wilhelm
who finished the game. Kansas collected eleven hits off of the two pitchers.
Drake did not score until the eighth when they sent two men around the circuit for their only runs of the game. In this inning, a Drake man ran into Wentzel on third, injuring Wentzel's shoulder. He was repaired by his teammate and then at second, Bloomer then tightened up and the game ended 5 to 2.
Instead of being required to select the candidates standing highest in a civil service examination for any postmaster commission, in the order, give the place to any one of the three at the head of the qualified list.
"Lefty" Farrell took Bloomer's place on first and Custer replaced Farrell in left field. The Jayhawks led throughout the entire game and their lead was held at the scoring in the second innning. In the fourth Custer doubled with the bases full and one man scored, Gray being thrown out at the plate. Another run in the sixth and two in the seventh allowed double completed the Kansas scoring.
A Washington news dispatch says that President Harding has made a new order concerning selection of first, second and third class postmaster. The president has given a wider field from which postmasters may be chosen.

Ruth Chatterton, Well-Known Actress is Playing Leading Role
A FROHMAN PRODUCTION
"Barrie at His Best," is Criticism of New York
Herald
"Barrie at his best," is the criticism of the New York Herald in regard to J. M. Barrie's latest play, "Mary Rose," in which Rush Chattertion is appearing at the Bowersock Wednesday night. It is the story of a young Australian soldier's return to the house on the beach where he won bury. This is the first visit since he was away to sea when she found him and he find the place deserted for a frightened old woman careker,
Sented before the fire in the cheerless room, as he waits for the old woman to bring his tea, there comes to him and no the audience, in tender papyearn, the figures and happenings of the old house before his birth and before his running away. He sees his mother, Mary Rose, a young girl wood and wedded by father Simon Blake. He hears of her child
strange disappearance when a child and her still stranger return with no knowledge of where she had been.
Then he sees Mary Rose after his birth on the "Island That Likes to be Visited" speaking to his father Again she is called to the island and disappears among the fir trees. Then the scene changes to her later when Mary Rose returns to her sister and to Simon. But Mary Rose is unchanged, the same girl who ran away and now returns to different world.
Then the young soldier's mind comes back to the barren living room where he is seated. The door opens and before him stands Mary Rose, his mother, the slip of a girl. She cannot understand that this is her baby, and just then the call from her "lovely lovely place" comes up the last time. MARY ROSE looks toward that day of "stars" and disappears toward the dawky moors and final peace, as a shooting star darts down to welcome her.
Ruth Chatterton, in the role of Mary Rose is acting for the first time in a Barrie production. She has been seen before by Long and the "Kitchen," and "Moonlight and Honeysuckle." But in the opinion of critics Miss Chatterton has merged in her new role all the charms of her previous parts that bring a depth to the story. To the part of ary Rose, making it an unqualified success. Tom Neeskitt, in the double role of Simon Blake and Harry

PLEASES BIG CROWD
Many K. U. Men and Women Take Part in Spring Merrymaking
VIRGINIA QUINLAN QUEEN
Parade of Characters and Group and Solo Dances Were Features
The May Fete, reproducing the Village festival in Merrick England, was staged to a large, appreciative audience Saturday afternoon on the golf links back of Hamilton Field at 4:30 o'clock.
The prelude of summoning spring and Spring's awakening, was interpreted by solo dancers and by a dance of the woodland sprites Among those in the solo dances were Miss Adelaide Steger in the Sun dance, Virginia Haynes in the Lily dance, Elfeidt in the Zinnabuck in the Elfeidt and Zinnabuck were supported by solo dancers in the aesthetic dance classes.
The Lord of the May, Richard Stevens, then throned the Queen of May, Virginia Quinlan, as she was heralded. Following her entrance the Fote start
As Queen of the May she was entertained by contests in archery and the May rises, including the winding of the May pole, the milkmaid's dance, the dance of the plowmen, the Robin Hood pantomine, the chimney sweep dance, the goose girls, the tumblers, and the mummers.
The entertainment concluded with the Garland dance in which the Queen of May was crowned. Her attendants danced in costumes and small senior women's honorary society.
--gauges being grown out among water grasses and stones, and a grid number of exhibits showcasing the economic importance of certain insects.
SLANTS ON THE FETE
A group of photographers got in the way as usual.
The prospective May Queens should learn to ride horseback.
A person in the audience familiar with track athletes said one of the dancers would make a good hurdler.
The bear in the woods looked so saint that one of the dogs was eager to attack him before he discovered his mistake.
Scanty apparel and a chilly atmosphere are probably responsible to some extent for the remarkable activity of some of the performers.
Green grass may feel soft to the feet of the barefoot boy, but it feels like cocklebirds to the tender-soled bare-foot dancer.
"Solomon must have owned a dairy," said a bright student when he noticed the covey of milkmaids following the one cow in the Fete.
The old proverb that you can lead a horse to water but cannot make him drink may be true, but it was discovered Saturday that you can lead a horse to a ditch but getting him over is another proposition entirely.
Added attractions of the May Fete were the fights staged by the canine onlookers.
Fair Young Thing: "Oh, are you going to be in the May Fete, and what are you going to do?"
If you going to eat Chimney Sweep Dancer: "Oh, I'm going to sweep a nasty chimney."

Supreme Court Upholds Prohibition Amendment
Washington, May 16.—The validity of the prohibition amendment was reaffirmed today by the supreme court. All sections of the amendment have been upheld by the court, making it unanimous that future attacks will be fictile.
The court held that the proposal of President Harding, made when he was senator, requiring that a state must be a union within seven years does not alter it.
Attorneys for the liquor interests held that this requirement was unconstitutional and therefore made the entire amendment invalid.
