ENGINEERS DAY
The School of Engineering has celebrated its thirtieth anniversary. The school has grown from a very small beginning to the second largest school in the University in the past thirty years. It is rated high in the engineering world, and has graduated men that stand at the top of the ladder in their profession.
Every year the flannel-shirted engineers hold a celebration which is partly social and partly educational. They have their parade and track meet, and they hold conferences and discussions relative to their chosen profession. To round out their festivities, they give a banquet and listen to practical engineers talk on the subjects and problems that they are to meet after graduation. Then they all meet in their annual dance, the "Hob Nail Hop," and cap the cinema of another year.
WITHOUT SALARY
The Engineers have much for which they should be proud, and it is fitting that they should set apart one day in the year to celebrate.
There are teachers and teachers.
Some appear kind and seemingly human, others are indifferent and uninterested, and still others hold classes over time and give quizzes after vacations.
But, somewhere, there is a common pedagogical trait that is one of the finest qualities in the world—the quality of loyalty and service.
Not long ago the legislature of Oklahoma adjourned without appropriating funds for the maintenance of the state university for the rest of the year. It looked as if the university would have to close and the work of the semester be left uncompleted. Then the faculty passed a unanimous resolution to stay by the school for the rest of the year, although there was no prospect of salaries. Though it will be a sacrifice for many members to remain under these conditions, they are all loyal.
It is nearly impossible to imagine a group of workers in any other occupation who would even consider working two months without pay, and the workers in few fields have the vision of service that the teachers have which makes them loyal even to the extent of personal sacrifice.
THE HOMELIKE JAIL
Bebe Daniels, famous beauty and motion picture actress, is in jail. She is serving ten days in the city holdover for speeding. The judge fines her something like fifty dollars, and said that she could take her choice either of going to jail or paying her fine. Bebe gave the matter grave consideration, and finally decided that she had better spend ten days in the caliboose.
Bebe probably figured it out this way. She was making probably not
more than a paltry $1000 per minute, she need a rest, and as far as spending ten days in a nasty old jail was concerned—well, she could stand that, provided the authorities let her buy her own meals and furnish her own bed clothes. The idea of publicity we feel sure, never entered her head.
But anyway Debe is in jail, and according to latest reports, she is doing fine. Her jailer is to be congratulated and it is expected to see him starred in her next production.
NEGLECTING THE COUNTRY BOY
The city boy is healthier than the country boy. At least, that is what Dr. L. L. Lumsden, of the United States Public Health Service, says.
The lack of sanitation on the farm is given by the doctor as one reason for the poor health of country children. The lack of sufficient medical attention, due to the scarcity of doctors, is given as another. The result is that the country younger grows up with adenoids, queer eyes, bad teeth, and musky ears. On the other hand, the city boy, favored by medical attention, grows up with pale cheeks, a weak back, and a healthy constitution.
The doctor's statements are startling, and they should be given serious thought. If the rosy checked country boy lacks medical attention, it is necessary to work toward the elimination of this lack.
The great out-of-doors, the pure air,
the trees, the birds, and the sunshine
is the heritage of the country youth.
Compared to the city youngster, his
environment is much the best. His life
is filled with the finer things of life,
with dewy mornings, with the quiet
evenings, and with the nights of
healthy slumber that come to those
who spend their lives in the open.
The supreme Ruler of all nature has even him an environment that builds or health. Yet, through human neglect, he is unable to gain the benefits that are rightfully his.
Spring Poetry
The Boy's Lament
(Girls are too much with us; late and soon)
Wheedling and calling, they lay waste our powers;
Little we get from spending what i
ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sorrid boon:
This girl! that opens wide eyes at the moon.
With lip3 that will be smiling at al2 hours,
For this, for everything, we are out of tune;
It moves us not.—Great Scott! I'd rather be
My father, used to creeds outworn;
Then might I, flirting all so pleasantly.
Take kisses that would make me less
forlorn.
Then running from the door,
Just like a naughty youngster
With nothing else to do
And find myself a little less to mourn
H. A, E.
The Co-ed's Lament
Why don't she hurry more. Lately she's been tapping,
Oh why is spring so lazy?
But play mischievous joking
So she can laugh at you.
Her neck-a-nose are tiresome.
To The Engineers
For I've some new spring clothes
Which surely do seem fated
Just like the far-famed rose
The money in them sunk!
—Chub Parker
Hooray for the engineers!
Those chargin buccaneers
To waste their trim, smart, sweetness
Hung in my wardrobe trunk,
And ah how I'm regretting.
O passed his hly with infant april
and boothaykoty dehuryears;
With a tooting band of clowns
In greens and rods and browns
Who passed us by with music spry And hootchy-kootchy dears;
When Eve was staring gowns. The annoting tractors crawled
In greens and reds and browns And a water cart that got it's start
Those chargin buccaneers
And the legi. Vexed be #we#
As he by chain and paddle train
Was past his brether hauled.
Nor did he have to grope
Whose pungent smell made the lawyer vell
Nor did he have to grope
to see that source for dope
Which dries the tears of engineers
And fill their chores with hope.
That they could greet me!
And that braying prodigy
From old Mizzioz; and a cowboy too
Like Kansas used to use.
But the beast she starred in
was a spinning dinosaur
And flee their steps afar.

Plain Tales From the Hill
The hoops I spent with thee, Gloom,
As are a string of groans to me.
I count them over, every one apart,
Oh, misery! Oh, misery!
Oh, memories that more than burn,
Oh, barren gain and bitter loss,
But I stuck it out and tried to learn
At and last it put it across.
Each problem a three of agony To pain a head with definitions wrung.
Twice I tried unto the end.
But there an "F" was hung.
Dear Editor:
Come to K. U

- Attention Cubs
The cub reporter was grinding out a marriage notice. Finally he brought it up and laid it on the city editor's desk. "Mr. and Mrs. Blank announce today the marriage of their daughter to take place next Monday—"
"Huh," grunted the editor, "you can't say they announced a marriage vet to take place."
Again the cub jabbed away at his typewriter. And when he brought it back this time it read:
"Mr. and Mrs. Blank predict today the marriage of their daughter."—from the Houston Post.
Chi Phi fraternity at the University of Texas gave a novel dance recently, which was judged the most unique of the season. It was strictly a baby dance, and the "habibs" were re-recorded in a live performance before entering the room. The orchestra was also dressed as children and the chaperees as nurses.
The International students at the University of Pennsylvania gave a joint dance and mundolin concert April 7. The concert was given entirely by foreign students of both sexes. China, SIAM, Philippines, Russia, Argentine and Mexico were represented.

Blue eyes contain no blue, says Prof. W. B Ancroff, of the department of chemistry at Cornell. He says that water scatters light on a very popular cloudy medium in front of the iris that scatters the light in such a fashion as to produce the apparent color. Professor Ancroff is attempt-mented to learn either experimentally in the laboratory.
The honor society became a part of Cornell university the first week in April, by the approval of the Board of Trustees committee, the separate college faculties having acted favorably at a previous time. As soon as a student committee has been chose it will be put into active practice.
Horseback riding has become so popular at the University of Michigan that an indoor riding academy will be opened shortly. There will be an instructor to teach students the proper way to ride horseback. For popular features they will have musical rides one or two weeks.
