"HUSH WEEK'
Recently, Mayor Hylan of New York City proclaimed a "hush week" for the metropolis. During that week, people were asked to refrain from all unnecessary noise. Automobile honking was reduced to a minimum. Along the harbor front and on the Hudson the tugs and ferry boats shattered the atmosphere with sound only when it was necessary.
Here at the university, it appears that we, too, are in need of a "hush week" that contains about thirty of forty days. As the time approaches for the final reckoning, it is essential that classes in session shall not be disturbed by outside noise. To each student the last few class meetings should be of great importance.
But from Fraser hall, there come rumors of morning classes being disturbed by outside agencies. It is said that the disturbances are caused by automobiles, or, more properly, by the drivers of the gasoline charisths who appear to be trying to imprint upon the mind of the student body that papa lets them drive his car and that it is a good car because it kicks up a large amount of ear-wrecking atmosphere.
The latest complaint comes from Blake Hall. There, the lectures in the class rooms are frequently broken into by classes that are dismissed before the noon siren blows mess call. The students that get the jump on the noon whistle invariably, in leaving the building, try to give the impression that Blake hall is being turned into a boiler factory.
So we need a "hush week," perhaps,
a "hush month," or, "hush all the time."
Let us muffle our noise-making
propenities and remember the other fellow.
THE MAY FETE
The annual May Fete will be given tomorrow. It is one of the few all University affairs given during the year, and in addition to giving another opportunity to gathering together to enjoy the great out-of-dors, the May Fête impresses one with the real meaning of spring when the soul and mind of man is garbed anew, in tones of fitting beauty.
For scores of years the University has celebrated the coming of spring here on the beautiful spot of campus with a pageant or a program formulated for the wide enjoyment of every one attending the University.
The May Fete this year will carry one back into springtime days of old "nutria England." Last year it was the interpretation of the anger quest of the virgin prairie of Kansas in the pioneer days when Indiana, grass-boppers and later Guerilla warfare became the impediments to the happy dreams of new settlers.
But whatever the program, the May Fete is established as a day when a student can lay down his books, and give thought to a sort of natural and materialistic outside himself, and he can rejoice with the feeling that the green awaits and all's right with the world.
OSTENTATIOUS DISPLAY
In England, a society has recently been formed, which has for its purpose the elimination of show and artificiality. If the organization is successful, the pretty baubles that decorate the skirts of English Vanity will be no more.
If such a society was organized in this country, it would have a great and worthy task to perform. Especially, on the college campus, would it find humanity that is suffering from the effects of too much display.
For example, take the college girl, bobbed hair and all, who breezes into a class room with the air of Cleopatra entering her flat bottom snow on the Nile river. The girl seats herself majestically. Then, with a deft hand, she gently flips back her spring wraps, and behold! a red of sorority and fraternity pins gleam forth from her dress front. The pleased eyes of the girl survey her fellow students, while her actions seem to say; "Oh, look at the pretty things I've got." And there are the pins—pretty little pins—cute little pins—the work of the sweating miner, the glass cutter, and the poor little oyster.
Over on the other side of the room a smooth cheeked youth pulls back the lapels of his coat and reveals a well jewelied vest front. He too is thoroughly organized. He belongs to the Alfaffa Mules, the Secret Order of Not Much, the Amalgamated Union of Ex-Plumbers, and the League of Great Importance. Moreover, he wants everyone to know that he belongs to what he belongs to, and, that if he didn't, a high state of civilization could never be attained.
THE UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
Two many of us are lovers of over display. We measure our importance by the weight of our trinkets and by the exclusiveness of our finery.
However, there is no harm in moderate display. If it was not for variety, we would live monotonous lives. Ornaments have their place in the scheme of things, but ostentatious display of those ornaments is evidence of sublime ignorance.
Campus Opinion
Editor, Daily Kansan:
The students and athletes of the University have proved their loyalty over and over again throughout this semester. They are students and in spirit-break defeat they have rallied to the Crimson and the Blue and pressed on hopefully to the next fight. However, there is a risk that the students will self-to be perilously near at times.
Numerous times this year 'at ours athletic contests, enthusiastic fans, brave, shamed, even humiliated by the lack of competent, experienced officials to referee events. It is to the best interests of the Athletic Association to save money in getting officials, but the expense of getting a square decision.
At the Indoor meet with Missouri in Convention Hall, the crowd had the heart taken out of it by the meekness, with which the Athletic Manager accepted the explanations for the bald foiling and tripping, when just, manly insistence on sportmanship would have bore fruit and give attitude to the players. The athletic Manager in the second baseball game with Missouri, when the umpire wavered, and men on the field knew that the runner had not been hit with the baton球, disappointed and maddened the largest crowd that ever witnessed a baseball game on McCook Field. We must have backbone, decision, and love for sportmanship. Else off fear of encapsulation on the part of those in authority will ruin the spirit of every fan who loves a fair fight. It must stop now or interest will lag and die.
Another very noticeable 'thing' is the matter of the letter *award* sweaters of last year. For the first time in the history of University athletics, letter men were awarded cheap, half-official sweaters. Many of these sweaters shirts and skirts, as well as school uniforms, are both distract from the wearing of the "K" the pride of those who have and who have not won it.
This is an injustice to the athlete.
These cheap awards should be replaced immediately by tokens of genuine appreciation and merit. The present plans for awards this year will have to be tailored to sports better sweaters than others. This is rank injustice as it makes some sports minor to others, and should be met by the unanimous disapproval of the entire student body. Instead, the best is none too good for them.
The greatest era in athletics is opening at the University if these practices mentioned are curbed and eradicated. The issues must be met openly and fairly or harm will result. The issues we wish to regard to the wise to regard. Let us hope that the cooperation that exists can be continued and not lost in misunderstanding and mismanagement. Give the athlete and the rooter a square deal and they will not show unimportance like tendencies, nor will they lack an awareness of the UU of expense and the possibility of unintended feelings.
Plain Tales From the Hlil
Unsatisfied Supporter.
Today is the last or the present editor of this column. We thank everyone for their hearty co-operation—there have been one or two contributions, and the rest of the stuff has been made up, per fictional, you might say.
Some of the "tale," we have gained some fame, however. We have not noticed some of them repeated in the "Orange and Black." Oklahoma A. State was one of the part of it that was the editors down there considered them good enough to use as applied to students and places of their own school. Oh well, that's all right. We got some of our students that came to our home town one time that

Prof. "Mr. Newcomb, will you trace the circulation of the Daily Kansan?"
Kack Jister declares that he found a snake in one of his shoes the other night. Jack has always had a good reputation on the Hill, but it sounds like she should crawl into the Acacia wood—especially this time of year.
A good many of the students on the Hill are looking over Mr. Edison's list of questions which he says that they can answer by answering to answer. Out of the seventy questions in te lest, forty is the most anyone admits being able to answer. hat is positive proof, it seems to us, who a whole college curriculum is wrong.

A concert by the Men's Glee club of the University of Wisconsin was heard by wireless operators within a radius of 1000 miles of Madison one night recently. As a part of its ex perimental work, the wireless station of the physics department of the university rigged up the apparatus to perform experiments and to fore an audience in the music hall would carry it far across the country. Other wireless concerts are being planned later.
