"FLUNK SYSTEM IN GRADE SCHOOLS UNFAIR"—OLIN
Did you ever have the experience of taking over again a whole half year's work because you failed in arithmetic or geography?
If Dean A. S. Olin, of the school of Education, succeeds in having his plan established future grade school students, he warns When a high school student fails in one subject he has to review only that one subject again, while a grade school pupil who fails in one subject fails in another, whose whole semester's work in every study.
Dean Olin is advocating departmental teaching in the grades so that the pupil will have to take over again only that subject in which he fails. This plan will obviate much of the retardation in schools that is causing so much waste of time, money and energy.

Blue tickets with space for five votes are being passed out by committees and members of the Jayhawker Board.

Each ticket is good for five votes for one young woman or one vote apiece for five young women. Thus a ticket for five votes can be Jayhawker fee right away can cast fifteen votes for herself. On the other hand some stude who is absolutely not able to be a senior, to cast fillet tickets for fifteen current girls though only five can be

Dean Templin Enjoying Himself
The committee of five recently appointed by Governor George H. Hedges to suggest revisions in the bill that would limit the Lawrence last week with Prof. W. L. Burdick, a member of the committee. The work was discussed, suggestions offered, and the whole effort culminated in presentation to the January legislature.
The work of the commission deals with a revision of the standards that shall prevail for the acquiring of a medical education and the practice of medicine in Kansas. The committee was appointed at the request of the Kansas State Medical Society. This organization believes that Kansas laws generally in relation to the medical profession require a revision, and the work of the revision committee is the result of the Society's agitation of the subject.
Pictures of the winners will appear on a special page in the Jayhawker.

ALL CLASSES ARE BUSY
RAISING MEMORIAL FUNDS
Assessment Collectors and Tag Sellers Have Started Gathering in the Spare Quarters
The custom started by the class of 1914 of presenting the University with a memorial has apparently come to stay. All of the classes now in school have plans on foot to obtain funds for their memorials.
The senior class now has $100 for this purpose. A part of the proceeds from the senior play probably will be used for the memorial.
Henry Shinn, chairman of the junior memorial committee, will call a meeting of his committee sometime before the Christmas holidays to decide on a plan for starting a fund. It is Shinn's plan to start the fund by assessing each member of the class 25 cents. If the committee plans that class will be divided into sections. Each teeman will take a section and interview each person in that section to collect the assessment.
The sophomore class has already adopted a plan similar to this. The class has been divided into sections based on the needs of the students, setting a twenty-five cent assessment.
The freshman class is selling button hole tags for twenty-five cents. A part of this money will be used to pay for the freshman picture in the Jayhawker. The remainder will start a memorial fund.

The home economics department believes in being economical. The instructors in the cooking classes think that it is much more convenient and easier to cook in large quantities, so a little room in the basement of Fraser has been stocked up with all sorts of staple goods. This store room also contains a large amount of mince meat which was made by the girls in one of the advanced classes.
Scholarship at the University of Kansas has improved 9.49 per cent over last year, according to an annual report issued today from the Registrar's office. Fourteen hundred and seventy-eight students this year have made more than 80 per cent in everything, 209 of last year clambering from below 80 per cent into the blue ribbon class. Eighty per cent is taken as an average scholarship mark; a student must fall below 70 per cent to fail.
To the men is due the credit for raising the general scholarship. More men made honor marks this year than before, their increase covering not only the 9.49 per cent improvement but also making up a slight decrease in scholarship shown in the records of the young women.
About three hundred men on basketball, baseball and football squads boosted their grades over last year, the increases ranging respectively in basketball, five per cent in baseball, and 8.2 per cent in football.
"What factors entered into this improvement?" replied Registrar Foster to a question. "Well, the popular sport of this post-football season seems to be to blame it on the faculty. Maybe the faculty is to blame for this increase in University scholarship."
