Date of Easter Sunday Is Determined by Moon
Why do we observe Easter is the all important question of today. Few of us realize the period of time, which entered into the determination of fixing the observance of Easter Sunday.
Its significance is both sacred and sentimental. From the devotional standpoint it lifts our souls in communion with our better impulses and gives us new incentives for better living with Nature's changing season.
From a sentimental standpoint it enlivens and awakens our pride, our self regard and the esteem with which we seek to impress ourselves in the minds of our fellow men. We manifest this in our new renaissance, new spirits and the new aspects of life that we take on.
From very early Christian times the day was observed with great solemnity. In the primitive church it was one of the special days for
CRIMINOLOGY HELPS TO FATHOM FASHIONS
Profs. Don't Notice Styles Particular, but Just Get General Impression
"O. I don't know anything about the styles," was the answer given by every professor who was asked what he thought of the late styles. All he knew was a lace and a faulty, yet lacked specific detail. Here is what several have said:
Prof. John Ise of the department of economics: My study of criminology has helped me in the understanding of women's styles. I don't like those great masses of hair that I see in films, but I look too broad headed, and from my study of phrenology I have learned that that designates selfishness. A woman's face is what I notice, and I get only a general impression of how I look, and it can't be so windy that I could tell much about styles.
7
Prof. Arthur MacMurray of the department of public speaking: I haven’t noticed the styles so much, but I don’t like this face-to-face presentation. I’ve noticed that there were several faithful followers of that fashion.
Prof. D. L. Patterson, of the department of history: I haven't noticed the new fashions as yet, and you can't expect more man to tell me what he's wearing. I know that he likes a thing when he sees it, but he doesn't know just what it is about it that he likes. Man must see a number of dresses that look alike before the idea that that is a new style penetrates, and I don't see any of them particularly new lately. I am unprepared to speak on this subject.
Prof. A. J. Boyton, of the department of economics. O, I don't know anything about such things. (Exit.)

the administration of epiphany.
The proper time for this celebration is the second century. The eastern and western churches were envolved in the controversy, the great mass of eastern churches celebrated the day on Jewish Passover This date fell on the fourteenth day of the first Jewish month of creation the Lamb. The Western churches celebrated it on the Sunday after the fourteenth day holding that it was the commemoration of the resurrection of Jesus. The ecclesiastical authorities were led to adhere to the method of resurrection as the mode. The use of eggs was considered a symbol of resurrection.

Easter Sunday never occurs before March 22 or after April 25. Coming on April 4 this year, 1921, the day of Easter will be on March 27 and in 1922 April 16.

K. U. Women Wear Clothing Similar to Their Old Fashioned Grandmothers
what is the most old-fashioned hing on the Hill?
Is it the verdant freshman, fresh to the wild and wolly sticks of western Kansas, or the benighted old prof that peers out at you over those owl eyed spectacles in that three hour class? Maybe it's some dumb object, such as the old wimpy catfish in the plank, saty, curious heroes of many a gigantic struggle with pen-knife and quizz pencil found in class-rooms on the third floor of Fraser or in the Journalism class rooms.
Fummy, isn't it, how things change Fashion, after all, seems to resolve itself finally into nothing but a simple evolutionary process. Fokas are old enough to understand just ahead of their times. The old family relishes which that particular guy is wearing around, and which have stirred up so much comment from all sides. You're now in all probability be the elites of the latest style creations.
Doubless K. U. women as a class would be shocked if they were referred to as being the most old-fashioned "things" on the Hill? But they are, in a sense. For example, only last year, our grandmothers would have been shocked to see the fair young K. U. dame come saintering down the slope with that chique abbreviated skirt and glossy silk stockings. But lo and behold we should also see (just one year later), but the same girl coming along with modest and sensible wool) stockings protecting her from the chill winds of Mt. Oread.

MYSTERY OF EAST FILLS PLOT OF KATCHA KOO
J. Holmes and L. Bennett as "The Two Americans" Play Hero Parts
Hero Parts
Katcha Koo, the mystical oriental musical comedy which is being given under the auspices of the Federation of Women's Clubs will be presented at the Browserock theatre April 5 and 6. The play is being given for the benefit of the Memorial Hospital, with Mrs. T, H. Kernemy, general chairman of the memorial society of the talent, and Mrs. J. Gordon Gibb and Mrs. Geo, Kreek in charge of the publicity and finance.
"Rehearsals are being held every afternoon and evening," said Mrs. J. Gordon Gibb, chairman of the publicity committee, "and groups and choruses have entered the work with unusual peep. Katcha Koo is filled with the myristic atmosphere of the Orient, with veiled dancers with headpieces and audience cameras which will carry the audience right into far India."
Transfixed before the Maharaja's private temple of Buddha is a notorious fakir of Hunga, named Katech Ko, who can do incredible things which worry the public. He has chosen the Maharaja as a widow from a family greeted front of the Great Buddha's image. Supplication and offerings of gems and food and a reward from the Maharaja move him not. It remains for two ingenious Americans to do the job. Through the widow of a wizard they secure a magical suit, the last of its kind. Each garment contains a crown, a necklace, an owner, the trousers of a Frenchman make him pilet and desire to dance, the shirt of a vagabond makes him carefree and happy, the vest of an Italian makes him like the ladies, and the coat of an American makes him full of energy. After Katach Ko, who is engaged in the complications and situations that arise develop the plot of the catchy comedy.
"Katecha Koo played by Craig Kenny is a sure cure for the blues," said Mrs. Gibb "and Maharaja played by C. C. Carll with his four attractive wives cannot fail to entertain the most exacting audience. Julia Ruttenberg and Bordert two Americans, will keep you laughing every minute."

G. O. P. ELECTS EDITOR Real, Classy Advice
TEMPORARY CHAIRMAN Is Given Freshmen
Allen Given Ovation at State Convention; Criticises Democratic Wastefulness
Salina, Kan., March 31—When the Republican state convention met here today, Fred W. Brinkerhoff of Pittsburg was elected temporary chairman by acclamation. He brought the first round of applause when he declared the "crying need of the poor" at Washington." Miss Kate Campbell of Ottawa was elected temporary secretary.
Governor Allen was called to the platform and was given an ovation. He criticized the extravagances of a paramedic administrative, and declared:
"This shameful record will be one of the first issues of the campaign."
Tuesday afternoon it appeared that the scrap over a stand favoring or opposing military training was to be avoided by a resolution committee ignoring this question, but the anti-compulsory military training program by the Ministry of Defense and Summer country delegations became so strong an agreement was reached to try to put the convention on record against compulsory training and in favor of voluntary training. The Army had a satisfactory compromise but there was no certainty about it. The Wood workers were anxious to have a resolution passed that would help him. However most delegates felt that the sentiment of the state is against any kind of military training program, and the Army's satisfaction program might soon be followed by a compulsory system.
There were 110 women delegates present, the largest number of women that ever sat in a republican convention in Kansas.
Advice to Freshmen students at the University of Kansas given by upper classmen and faculty members. Men.

Wear your hair down your back in either bridles or if your hair inclines to curl, you could wear curls.
that we in a big bag in the back.
Wear bright green ribbons where you can be heard as well as seen coming for blocks.

Grant Mull's Barn Burned
The barn owned by Grant Mull at Seventeenth and Massachusetts streets was destroyed by fire at 11:30 o'clock Monday night. The barn was completely destroyed, but the horses which were in the barn escaped and it took several hours to find them after the fire had been extinguished. It is known by many of the students as he delivered mail on the Hill for thirteen years. His horse, wagon and dog were a familiar sight on the Hill all that time. He now has a route in the down town district.
In times when not wearing aprons wear middies with bright green ties.
Buy, Dye, or Borrow 'em But Be Sure They Look New
To Consider Peace Resolution Friday
Washington, March 31 — The reso-
tion to declare between the Urit-
heria and Germany will be
called up in the House Friday.
If you are lucky enough to have a room-mate who has lots of clothes and is not going home for the Easter recess, you are one man in a hundred in the University, for everyone knows that to go shopping or dressing up for clothes that you left in at the beginning of the second semester would disgrace K. U.
If you have none of your own and your roommate is the proud possessor of, any better get out those old 'gob' ones, have them dyed, and wear them home, the simple home folk, like to be fooled and it is easy to do it. Take one of these old and half you have two of the narrow ones, which you must know are strictly in style new.
A search of the files of your friends wardrobe may be brought to light, one of those race track vests, which will put pride in the hearts of any food parent. As for shoes of course you will wear those low-cuts, and some heavy wool socks, take those comfortable business sandals you had last season. You will have the latest pattern of footwear for the season. For wool socks have the old issue ones dyed some rabid, ruddy color.
that can be offered at present. And the hat must be one of the most outlawish affairs ever worn on an anatomy of the would be stylish, a raag-hat is suggested for the laofers wear, but for the society affair, and of course everyone will be in the best of society, an old faded green piece, will go fine, they will all think it is a new color.
The University is the recognized authority for the styles of the people of Kansas, and the University is so close to Kansas City. Do not let anyone think that you wear hard, and tell everyone that you go with the best of them, speak familiarly of all the great lights of the school, and say nothing of the manner in which you are dressed, take it as a matter of course, but if you were never dressed so before, do not for the sake of the institution let anyone think that you wear the old army O D shirt on the hill most of the time, when your other is in the laundry. Always part of the team, make sure back although you do just the opposite when in school.
In closing it is the advice of the writer that everyone going home for the recess, wear all the out-of-place clothing that he or she can get together, be as unusual in your dress as possible and do not suggest that while in school the student dresses just as any other human being.
ENGINEERS WIN SECOND DEBATE FROM LAWS
of Pep
Large Crowd From Both Schools Support Teams With Plenty of Poo
The engineers out-talked the laws for the second consecutive time Tuesday night, winning the annual deadline of two schools by a vote of two to one.
The subject of the debate was: Resolved, That all strikes in industries engaged in the direct appropriation of food and fuel] shall be prohibited by Federal law, and disputes in such industries between labor and capital shall be settled by compulsory arbitration.
The engineers supported the affirmative, and advanced an industrial board plan, modelled on the Kansas Court, and the New Zealand arbitration plan as a form of arbitration, while the negative located on the national basis, maintaining that it was not a plan of arbitration.
The engineer team was composed of Richard McGee, Nathan Mnooken, and John Tracey. The laws were represented by J. W. Mitchell, L. O. Fink, and Fred Stringfellow. Debate Coach H. A. Shim presided.
The loving cup was given by Delta Sigma Rho, honorary debating fraternity, was not re-present'd to the engineers, who won it last year. By the terms of the gift, it must be won three years in succession to become the permanent property of either school.
Students from the two schools attended the debate in mass formation, and Fraser chapel was crowded with an enthusiastic crowd.
KANSAS NEEDS HANDS
Topeca, March 31—Kansas can absorb four thousand farm hands and contracts to employ them every month in the year, according to W. H. Cushing statistician for state labor commissioners.
"The situation is acute," said Cushing, "Laborers are leaving the farm in droves, attracted by high wages in cities. The five thousand represent nearly the shortage in permanent help and has nothing to do with the present harvest demand in summer."
