THE FACULTY WILL DECIDE
The question of senior exemption from quizzes has been referred to the various school faculties. The senate decided that these bodies can more nearly decide what is best for their respective vocations. And probably it is better so. Each instructor will have a chance to give his opinion as he has found it to be most profitable and fair. And all will know, after the question has been settled, that they are following a principle which is thought best by a majority of their fellow instructors.
It is highly probable that these people with whom has been left the burden of deciding the question, are, as a whole, more closely connected with the students and will more easily put themselves in the place of the "sono-to-retire" seniors and will judge from both points of view.
ALL OUT FOR "STADIUM DAY"!
Before your old friend the shoe-
mender can renovate that pair of still-
servicable shoes with a couple of new
footprints, he must first tear off the
old worn-out heels, and scrape the
surface clean.
In the same way, before our campus can be renovated with a new stadium heel at its northern extremity, the old, battle-scarred bleachers must first be torn away and the site made ready.
Next Tuesday is the big " Stadium Day" at which each and every K. U. student, which means 3680 individuals, is wanted at McCook Field to help eradicate the old dilapidated heel of our campus and make the spot ready for a fine new concrete horse-shoe that will last "until the cows come home."
Will you be there to help out? Yes, Kansas, comes back the answer, 3680 strong!
It will be a holiday, the "Stadium Day" will, but at the same time it will be a day of real work with, real, red-blooded men and energetic, unselfish women, in demand. "Pho" and the Chancellor want you ALL to be there. That means—not going home, or running down to Kansas City, or spending a lazy morning in bed and an afternoon playing cards—it means being down at McCook field, 'rarin' to go when the starting whistle blows as the signal for the beginning of the tearing down of the old to make way for the new.
The women will be there, and the "eight stall beaver" of Sandy's will appease that ravenous appetite of yours at high noon, and all that day.
So drag out the overalls, the old army trousers, and the flannel shirts! Pick up the checkered gingham aprons, women, and we'll go for the beveres! Plain calico will do in a pinch, as far as that concerned.

If you like a book that is exciting
If you like a book that is exciting—a book that is filled with red adventure, with phantom thoughts, and with unreality, don't read "Beauty and Mary Blair," for the book is so commonplace, that it is unusual.
When Etbel M. Kelley wrote "Beauty and Mary Blair," she did not copy from Poe, De Maulpassant, or H. Rider Haggard. Instead, she copied from real life—American home life with its typical problems. With an expert hand and in an easy informal style she molded romance from the happenings in the city home of an ordinary American family.
Mary Blair, around whom the story revolves, is a whole hearted girl who has reached the age when she might properly be called a young lady. Filled with the wonders of life and animated by certain ideals of beauty, she tells her story with the joyous cander and frankness of youth. Throughout the novel, the gold and drab days of her young life are fused and blended into a story that is wholesome, amusing and real.
Mark Twain and William Allen White have placed the American boy on the pages of literature. We have only to read their works to see that boy, with his shiny freckled face, his winkling blue eyes, and his sunny mille that discloses the fact that two front teeth are missing.
Then, cones Booth Tarkingin, giving us the joys and sorrows of "Penrod"—Penrod who has donned long trousers and who, when not partaking of Cupid's early joys, spends his time slicking down his hair, and battling with the knots in his necktie.
But we have lacked the modern American girl. Perms, that is why Ethel M. Kelley gives us "Mary Blair"—"Mary," with her heart filled with the joys of youth, and with her soul pining for the things she neither knew nor understood.
How well the author has succeeded in giving "Mary Blair" a place by the side of "Penrod," only time will tell. But, if you have an evening that unoccupied take your copy of "Beauty and Mary Blair" from the book shelf, and prepare yourself for a story of youth that will chase the wrinkles of care away.
