Eiken Ykersonen Published in the afternoon, five times a week and on Sunday morning by students in the Department of Journalism of the University of Kansas, from the Press of the Department Entered as accredit-mart master Sep tenember 17, 1952, at the post office at Law venue, Kanbes, under the act of March 3, 1957 CAP AND GOWN SUNDAY, MAY 30, 1926 Less intelligent and well-informed people than those of the faculty have been known to smile with amusement at various versions of the academic course in which graduate-to-be appear at the commencement exercises. If anything could be more absurd than the cap and gown worn as some flapper co-eds and campus shells wear it, it is not on this campus. Despite the modern demand for expression of the individual, it is not permissible for the graduating woman, no matter how great her desire to be up to the moment in dress, to trip up before the Chancellor with her gown hemmed up to her knees. The fashion does not changes in cap and gown; whatever may be the mode of the moment in length of skirts, the academic gown should not fall more than eight or nine inches from the ground. And, while a white dress is properly worn, with it, white shoes and hose are not. These, if they are correct, are always black. Convention has yielded to comfort to the extent that the high choker collar is no longer essential to the feminine costume, but it has not yet reached the place where decollet is its fitting accompaniment. And with the master's gown, with the arm energizing from the sleeve almost at the shoulder as it does, the sleeve of the dress should cover the whole arm, Convention, which formerly called for black suit and shoes with the academic costume for men, has yielded some what in that respect; but very light trimmers or bright yellow shoes are inappropriate, still. And, while Florence Ziegfeld might possibly gain inspiration from the cage and the raindak angles at which some women graduates and some men graduates tip their mortar boards, it is doubtful whether the Chancellor, the Board of Regents and the other officials having part in the conferring of degrees get more from it than a desire to spank the graduate. The academic course is a symbol of the beauty and the dignity of education. It is a gesture, to be sure; it should be a dignified gesture. If it advertises itself, it advertises not the education of the graduate and his unaccentification. The School of Religion has a final examination scheduled for Sunday afternoon. "IN CLOSING" The employees and supervisors of Watson hall are to be congratulated. Great changes are being wrought and our hearts our heart grows lighter and lighter. Silent Seth has departed for parts unknown (the depths of the Kaw, we hope). Still, a few native Swainians have been spotted on the old boy over the summer months. The erstwhile employees have deferred their closing exercises until nearer 10 o'clock, thereby allowing us that precious last ten minutes in which to complete our semester themes or cram for a final. Attractive bulletin boards have retained the unmissible array of vari-colored and sized posters and cards which formerly adorned every possible nook and creamy of the elaborate museum lobby and halls of the building.

In fact we are almost ready place our official O. K. on the entire building, its contents, and its employees. But to gain this unanimous O. K., the chief librarian will have to get the consent of the Board of Regents, the Governor, the President and perhaps the World Court, to change those perky doors so that they will awing outward. CULTURAL LOW BROWS TOWNS BROWS Another of the routines of human nature in about to be bared. Final examinations are here and according to the law of averages, or human nature, at least according to an unbroken hawe there will be a lot of cleaning done. It would be interesting to look back a few years. Of the students in high school a small part had a somewhat vague desire to come to college. They did not know exactly why. They did know that they wanted to get a little farther on in the world and they sincerely believed that the college would help them to do it. At least, it had helped others to do it. Now they are here. They feel some way that the magic of being here is going to for them what they desire; or in the mad scramble for grades they forget what they did come for; nayway they get grades unfairly, maybe only once, but unfairly just the same. They have lost sight, or never had sight of that variegate thing that drew them here, the deity for a cultural artifact, so it has been gained only by the fair work done. Some call them cultural lowbrow; but they might more kindly be called just human beings in whom the weaknesses are showing up. Dulling the Intellect Editorials From Other Hills (The University of Washington Daily) An eastern college professor has raised concerns about other things, he deplores the fact that many students are self-supporting all through their college careers. He objects on the ground that this daily routine is not worth it. Most of the American colleges and universities, if this be true, are losing potential intellectual attainment among their undergraduate at a time when students have a priority of students, however, probably will not agree with the professor. The tendency, when one reflects on the achievements of self-supporting students generally, is to scout at the college as soon as possible to prepare to lie between the two views. The self-supporting student trying to stretch his mental and physical powers to meet the double requirement may be making a demand that will wear down these powers permanently, sometimes happen cannot be denied. But it is to be remembered that each students n’telf-supporting by necessity, not by choice, and by such action are gaining educational opportunities that would not be open other-ways. The more difficult individuals who are able generally to carry on under the greater load. When the enviable records of achievement of this type of student are reviewed, the view that the extra task that was their served chiefly to do can no longer seem most logical. The man who goes down under thin strain appears o’be much in the minority. One student reports that he buc hcus n heavy "line" he breaks the leads from penski when he writes. Did you ever taste a real good malted milk, ice cream soda, etc.? "Why do you do恳 me continually?" whined the freshman. "Because you are half-baked," relied the upperclassman.

Margarite Fisher gave her seno, recital before a large audience in the auditorium of central Administration Thursday evening. In spite of the extreme heat and weakened physique caused by a recent illness, Miss Fisher sang a most attractive program. She sang "Saint Francis" and "Nona's "Pocate, Dermate," which was sung with a smoothness and clarity which held the audience entranced. At the Concert (By Frederick McNeil) ************************************************ "Cade in Sera" by Millottis was sung with a nice regard for the tenances of the pieces, and Haydn's with a satisfyingpenence which proved that Miss Fisher's forte is the singing of that type of song, rather than the dramatic type of song. The recitative and aria from Verd's "La Traviata" were satisfactorily done, too evidenlty a tack for the singer. Miss Fischer's voice is rather light, but she uses it with through grace and seems to catch each wistful phrase with the understanding of a true actress. Her pinnissimo were hard to hear, but her灵敏 in their clarity and conviction. Despite the thinness of her upper register, aggravate of course by her weakened physical condition, Prof. W. B. Downing's pupil is a joy to hear; Try our Table d'hote Dinner Evidence that some of the University students are returning to the beliefs and pastimes of their childhood was indicated last Sunday.
