SILENCE IS NOT GOLDEN
TUESDAY, MAY 25, 1920
Too many of the University's students and her best friends are ignorant of the great things done and the great men that have been in times gone past. And in the some breath we might say that too few of the people actively connected with the University at the present time know of the things that the University is doing now.
Many people know that Everett Bradley is the premier athlete of America but few know his records or what he is planning to do this summer for the school.
Many people know that Forrest C. Allen is director of athletics but few know that he works night and day on athletics and on the business administration of athletic affairs.
Many people know that the University's instructors are poorly paid, yet few know what the average salaries and average living expenses of a faculty member are.
Scores of other things could be named in order of importance, such as football prospects for next year, new building projects and many other things that Kanasa is planning to do and will do in the future.
When you are at home and somebody says something about Kansas being a dead school and lacking in pop, you sit ally by and not tell them of the many things planned for next year and the years to come, or will you jump to your feet in defense of your school and tell its defamer what is really going to transpire on Mount Oread next year?
Don't be backward because backwardness is the sign of misinformation and unpeudedness. Be informed and ready to speak freely of the good things the University has in store for its students next year.
SENIORS AND FINALS
It has been the custom for some time to excuse seniors making A and B grades from final examinations. The ruling was made in the beginning by duly constituted authorities and no doubt represents the majority opinion of the faculty body. Is it not then to be expected that the entire body should be governed by that regulation?
In fact, the letter of the law is adhered to consistently. Seniors of the necessary standard are nowhere required to come and take the regular examinations quiz week. But there are a number of professors on the Hill, who, deeming it unwise to leave the last month or two of the work unexamined, in even the case of fourth year students of proven ability, are giving quizzes as late as Friday of this week. Thus, in spirit, at least, the rule
ing is being flagrantly violated.
ng is being intransitive venom.
Is it fair to excuse seniors from quizzes? A fourth year student who is able to make A or B grades even under the stimulus of the prospect of being released from finals, is usually a fairly consistent student. For the most part he studies for the benefits to be derived from the course and keeps up his efforts during the entire semester. The final examination then takes the form of a ritual, unnecessary, though it consumes a great lion of the hear student's time.
It may be argued that, in the case of courses where the lecture method is employed exclusively, the final examination is the determining factor as to the grade awarded, and without it, it is impossible to know whether or not the student is doing A or B work. A quiz at the end of the second month of the third would probably indicate this as accurately as one during the final week. At least this is the view taken by a majority of the faculty and it is unfortunate that the majority cannot rule in this, as in other self-governing bodies. Last week quizzes not only work a hardship on the busy senior but are scarcely fair to the underclassman. In many cases it necessitates an undue percentage of his time spent on the course requiring them, and does not leave opportunity for a just distribution of final efforts over all his work.
THE CHEMIST
The rates of the railroad unions are demanding a minimum wage of $2,500 annually for all railroad employees.
TEACHERS AND RAILROADS
Warren S. Storme, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and W. G. Lee, president of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, made the following statement in a report submitted to the investigating committee:
"Only 2% per cent of the railroad workers are receiving a living wage today. Expert opinion indicates that the lowest figure at which a family can live in health and reasonable comfort is $2,500 a year."
In a letter written by Chancellor Strong to the K. U. Alumni he stated that there are 325 administrators, teachers, librarians and other workers employed at the University this year at an expenditure for salaries and wages of $750,000, or an average income per individual of $2,307.70.
Here we have it in black and white, the educators and teachers of the nation receive less than the railroad men.
Is it because they are worth less or because they do not demand more? This seems to be a period in which, more than normally, every body is grabbing as much as he can for himself. Perhaps, university professors and the teaching profession in general are justified in organizing and demanding more pay. Or we may have to get together ourselves and provide for them if we want to maintain the of learning.
SUFFRAGE AND PROHIBITION
The improved chance for ratification of the Susan B. Anthony suffrage amendment is causing a change of heart among a certain class of politicians who have been considering the prohibition question as a possibility for a campaign question. It is evident that North Carolina and Connecticut will ratify the amendment and the Delaware legislature may also come into line with a favorable vote on its ratification. In as much as it will take the vote of only one of these states to give the women the ballot in every state in the union, they will probably be able to vote in the presidential election.
This fact has probably not has a little to do with the efforts to keep the prohibition question out of the Democratic convention when it meets at San Francisco next month. The women may not all vote dry, but a big majority of them will so vote, and the politicians will not want to take any chances in this direction. The same condition exists in the Republican party but to a smaller extent because none of the leading candidates for the nomination of the latter party have signified their intentions of running on a "wet" platform.
