NEW COURSES
TUESDAY, MARCH 22, 1921
The new courses that are to be included in the University curriculum are a result not only of the growing enrollment but also of the demand for more advanced and practical work.
New courses have been installed in many departments. Mathematics, geology, painting, design, bacteriology, English, journalism, and medicine are to have some advanced and specialized courses; geology particularly receives a very practical course in Field Geology which includes use of Instruments and methods of field work. Journalism is to land a new course called Critical Writing and a general revision of course names. The painting and design group are going to have now courses totaling thirty-eight hours. This will give the Fine Arts department extensive study in many lines of design work.
MAN-HUNTING
An article in last night's Daily Kenan reported that young women are now picking older husbands than they did in former years, knowing that elderly and middle-aged men can support them better.
This logic should be carried even further. Not only should the young woman, about to set foot on a matrimonial adventure, consider her prospective husband's age, but also his work. If the man is going to be a banker, lawyer, journalist, doctor, or any of the so-called higher and more learned professions, the girl should think twice—just twice, and then forget him. No, the time has come that the lowly laborer must be in sight to cause eve a small palpitation of a young woman's heart.
The barber, the waiter—any of this wealthy class, now has an open road to the goal of feminine affection. The tool dresser—perspiring financial baron of the oil fields, is certain to have a better Bradstreet rating than a hack writer. The world needs oil for automobiles and hair-dressing preparations; short stories and reporters are unnecessary.
Approach the time when women will look only to the dictates of their heart in picking a man with whom to quarrel over the morning paper? Probably not. This tool dresser can also dress his wife.
Some students do certain things on Easter vacation. Some students do certain other things, and there are others who don't do much of anything,
VACATION TYPES
It really isn't anybody's business what a student does with his vacation, as long as he doesn't break the laws of the country. He is an American citizen and, if he wants to spend his idle time playing dominoes, and he has the dominoes, there is no one to stop him.
Undoubtedly, there will be a type of student who spends the coming vaca-
son by spending father's money for the gay and gaudy plumage of the bird of fashion. This "style-hound" will bewilder the natives of his own home town by exhibiting the latest pattern of newly dyed sheep's wool and the latest work of the silk-worms. He will stalk down the main avenue, looking like a peacock among a flock of English sparrows.
Perhaps, there will be a student who spends his time impressing the simple home folks with his newly-acquired wisdom. He will talk in elevated tones about trigonometric functions, lexicographers, and the Ossianic controversy. From him, the neighbors will learn that Webster's dictionary is one huge mistake, and that the present unhappy economic situation has been brought about by the failure of Einstein to prove definitely the exact location of the fourth dimension.
But there is a type of student who will spend his vacation in a profitable manner. He will relax from his studies with the prods-merined intention of enjoying his vacation. He will return to the little home town wearing the broad smile of good fellowship. He will enter his home, naturally and unaffected by artificialities. Modest and unassuming, he will boost for his school by his actions.
LURE OF LUCRE
Money talks. Also, the love of it is the root of all evil. Two proverbs, the last one age-old, the first comparatively "up-to-date."
Both again proved themselves true in the big crime-scandal case in Oklahoma. In the trial, it was brought up time and time again that money had talked, and that its talking had been the underlying cause of a tragedy in which the devil ruled.
Too many of us, business men, farmers, laborers, capitalists, and students, set Old Man Money up for our dummy god and worship him blindly, to the exclusion of the many better impulses that enter our hearts. Take our modern students, for example. Nine-tetrads of them attend a University with the primary desire to be able to make money easier and in larger quantities than their fathers. The old-time object of a liberal education—the development of the cultural side of human nature—has been subordinated and engulfed in a wild rush for "practical" courses that point out the shortest way to the Almighty Dollar's dwelling.
It is well to remember, when we have dined into our cars on all sides the popular say about "money talk," the age-old proverb that the "love of it is the root of all evil." One is just as true as the other. It is a wise man who does not lose sight of the last one those days.
SUNDOWN FOR "B. L. T."
SUNDOWN FOR BETTLE
“B, L. T,” who would have been registered in the army as Bert Leston Taylor, but who was just plain three letters to his thousands of friends and readers, reached the sandwound of his life the other day. And the “Line o' Type or Two” famed “humorous columny” of the Chicago Tribune, is unminor an editor.
For fifteen years "B. L, T." saw the "colum" go to press with his initials at the bottom. During those years he wrote thousands of paragraphs and poems that scintillated both with humor and wholesome everyday philosophy. And he established a much-prized list of hundreds of
tale and devoted contributors, "Wife,
ow that her master has been taken
down." The narrator looks from
dll parts of the world confounding
the "Tribune" in its loss.
"B. L. T." has rightly been called the dean of America's column conductors, for he developed, more than any other man, the art of paragraphing into its present prominent position as a newspaper feature.
In the issue of Oct. 27, 1917, of the Chicago Tribune appeared the columnist's own interpretation of "Sundown," as applied to his own life. It follows:
"When my sun of life is low,
When the dewy shadows creep,
Say for me before I go,
'Now I lay me down to sleep.'
What last eulogy could be more simple, and yet more satisfying?

"I'm a Jayhawk," he last sent by George Bolews, former K. U. man, is being played at the Newman theatre in Kansas City, this week. It is being played as a chasher so Mr. Bolews has not decided whether it is a knock or a boost. A "chaser" in vaudeville parlance, the act used to clear the house for the next show—get the people out so new ones can come in.

They're the greatest combination of mith-makers who ever got together; and the laughs that Charlie maybe overlooks come fresh and snappy from the kid.

It's a fact—and that's what makes the laughter bigger still.
