HONORS CURRICULA
A university may build bigger and better buildings, empoly more faculty members, and have its enrollment increase by leaps and bounds—yet stand still, or even slide backwards. If there come no improvements in curriculum, no new methods of instruction, no better methods of training and developing the minds of college youth, a university is standing still.
The tentative outline for an honors curriculum which was reported in Monday's Kansan shows that the University of Kansas is a seat of learning is attempting to keep pace with its material growth.
All universities are today faced by problems which have resulted from the rapid growth in size and emergency of the average student body. Some method must be developed whereby the student possessing genuine interest or superability need not be tied down and held back to the same level with the average student. The suggested honors curriculum plan sounds as if it might help solve the problem. Possibly the plan presented isn't perfect—few tentative outlines are. If adopted some minor flaws may show up. But it is a sten in the right direction.
AND THE STATE DOES NOTHING
The state does nothing to protect the students' health except what the University officials do in supervise and supported entirely by student fees.
Students' fees will not build a new hospital building, nor will they work efficiently in the old one. With only one poor consultation room, the staff cannot give good service services; nor can it give the service to those in the building that it could if it were equipped for a hospital.
Student fees will not build a new hospital any time soon unless they are raised to probiotic rates, but we do want the hospital properly built and equipped.
The University needs a new hospital to furnish adequate protection for the health of the students. Certainly the state should do its part in this protection by building the hospital.
Throughout the rest of the administration of University affairs, the state provides for the closest protection of the students, and for it all charges only a small portion of actual costs. In matters of health care, the state often perhaps be cause the student fees have done as well as they have.
BELATED GYM CREDITS
Gym exercise! What a bugbear they are. Insignificant little things to be sure, but what a lot they can amount to. Instances have occurred where the degree has been withheld because the individual had failed to take the prescribed amount of exercise.
It is so easy to drop your gymnastium work and then it is no hard to re-enroll or attend class during later years.
The peculiar thing about the whole situation is that the individual kid himself into thinking that he doesn't like the work, that it is foolish, that he doesn't have time for it, and ever so many other exuses are found why he does not want to continue.
For a moment and let reason reign, foRa moment and let reason reign, things would be seen in a different light. After all, the excuse given in the classes is not particularly disagreeable. Why deny the fact that
you do not like work, or rather reelection, that does much to keep you in physical condition? It is not foolish to take a small portion of time to your health.
The time proposition is where most of those who "put off" their gym work "kid" themselves. Exercise is supposed to be taken the first four semesters the student is in school. Then the five-hour courses are available, sophomore work is compared, and at that time the average student is not tied up in as many activities as he will be the last two years.
But still some would rather leave their gym to complete in their senior year when these are due and when only two, and three-hour courses may be required. Work in the major department is intensive. Time becomes less and less available and more and more valuable.
But still some would rather let their gym credit slide along. Then in the senior year when the work must be done in order to secure the degree they get into the mad rush and with a thousand times that they had followed the prescribed schedule for required work.
Exercise is so easy to drop.
PECUNIARY PERFIDITY
As the month of June draws rich meeny lies the head of the downtown warehouse on whose books are a bum of student accounts. From past ex persistence he knows there'll be a con undeniable number of neatly press spring units leave town whose wear are pressed for money.
When the powerful apple fall and hit Newton on the head he is said to have rubbed the spot and proclaimed to the world that there was no blood in a turnip, which upon being interrogated by the sages, was found to mean that a student with no dough can pay for his new spring suit. But such a student has one resource. He can go to his cloather and make arrangements to have his credit secured. If this happens it will be possible. The inventor appreciates this consideration. It relieves his anxiety—and will likely be reconstructed when time comes to buy the next spring suit.
INTERURBANNING
A University course requiring a trip to the city; the last of the month, and nearly broke of course; followed naturally by the purchase of a round trip ticket on the interurban. Now, there is nothing wrong with the interurban, except that it is an interurban. In fact, there is one point in its favor, that it furnishes cheap transportation.
When the car starts it takes a slow pace until it gets out of the city. It is quite easy riding and one settles down with some degree of comfort, and then it gets out into the open country and the motorman turns on the speed.
New experiences await. With the first lurch forward caused by the rapid acceleration begins a series of bounces and throws quite unequalled elsewhere. When the car is galloping along on a straight-of-way there is bouncing up and down, the monotony of which is broken by the curves, when the body is suddenly thrown sideways as the car starts turning the curve the car is slowed up by the turn and the body is thrown back and the curved path of these one has been trying to offer take hold and throws him back into position ready for another triangular trip.
And thus it goes for two hours Even this is not so bad in the morning when a person is rested and feels calm. It is sometimes the effect is more interesting.
Still students ride the interurban.
Why? For the same reason that they sit in the balcony or gallery at theatrical productions.
LITTLE AUDREY IS TWINS
The college senior laughes and laughs, just thinking of how much time he'll have to loaf around after final exams are all passed and he's through school, with nothing to do but earn a living. And the old grad laughes and lauges too. for he knows he is twice as busy now trying to make a living as he was while he was in school, trying to get a sheep skin.

New York, that Gargantuan flower of American civilization, has a prominent place in the "modern" section of the fifty outstanding prints of the year selected by the American Institute of Architectural Digest on display in the west Administration building. New York—monstrous mechanical creation and awful human connection—we should expect to be a flower of architectural prophecy, to modern artists.
Although, according to the price list, these New York prints are not as biph in their artistic quality as some of the more popular "school" and many of the "modern" class, they are among the pioneers of art. They are attempts of the artist to capture the essence of new in the word, to catch the Time-spirit, namely the mechanical giggling of the day. From this point of view, they are the most interesting in the exhibit.
The "New York" of Jan Matulian,
a lithograph in a babylonian structure
of concrete blocks cut up by
metals, and the nebuch lithograph, "Wall Street"
is a mighty charm, almost closed at the top by the melting buildings. In a narrow column of sky at the end of the wall, the artist uses a nebuch lithograph, "Brooklyn Bridge" by the same artist is a huge network of cubes and girders forming monotonous patterns of triangles and squares.
On the other side of the room in the museum, the artist covers over which tellative bodies who tour the exhibit in a quarter of an hour cochain: "Oh aren't they lovely! I just love that one! Perfect wonder-weave and stir the imagination by their craftsmanship of line and by the wealth of suggestion in their composition. They are prints which don't need writing about; they only need to be seen by most of us. Such prints are Frank W. Benson's "Flying Brant" and Old T丹 both etchings, Childe Hamsah's etching, "Spring in Pond" and Joel Dahl's loosely-booted ones in Ariel Trow Kinemie's "Birth of

Miss Evans possesses an ingratiating stage presence which could be improved by keeping her arms still. Her high notes show a tendency toward forcing, and her voice is prematurely filled.

Spring" and Charles H. Woodbury's "Breaking Wave."
After the picture lover has enjoyed the prints of the "conservative" school, if he also be one of the curious of the avant-garde, he must forge the "modernist" exhibit. Some of these prints probably will be beyond him, as Max Wooler's symbolic and indefinite "Abstraction," a word often used in his graphic, Erika Lohman's "African Phantasy," a nidulum cut, Windel Reisist "Houses," woodcut, and Mary Tammullah's "A Family," color design work that he will please him at art design work.
The two woods, "The Dancers," and "The Jagglers" of Ceil Bollier and the etching, "Mountains at Lions," seem to me, the forceful expression of an idea which "modern" art very often achieves. Rockwell Kent's symbolic and conventionalized art is re-created by "Blue Bird" and "Vovaging."
One of the Lithographs of this section which equals any of the more conservative prints in imaginative rendering and which has pronounced color, is *Mr. Sailor's* *Sailboats*. The swift, strong spirit of sails is in this print. F.-S.

The program was well chosen, although the final concordio in E-flat major by Flint could have been placed earlier in the program. As it was placed, the multiples had become two tired to really appreciate the Deck of the final number, for which Dean Searlton played the organ.
The wistfulness of the Chipin matrue, and the sifting memories of the Last arrangement of the waitresses from "Paint?" were particularly pleasant portions of the program. The waitress Gomizor" which opened the program was well done, and demonstrated the pianist's firmness of touch, as well as the paucity of color which she seems to command. The rollicking numbers of the fourth group were all quite high, and there was highly intimate to the audience.

The Dobbs North Shore is the hat for the man who enjoys a touch of the unusual in his summer headwear. Wherever the North Shore is worn it will be recognized as a distinctive Dobbs hat.
Electricity, which can release woman from her burdens, has raised the demand for American industry. Wherever electric motors are found, Electric motions can be found carrying loads, driving machinery, and there is an abundance. And there is no branch of elec-tech development today to make electric motors made important contributions.
A series of G-E advertisements showing how electricity is doing in many fields will be held at KEK-1. Ask for booklet GEK-1.
Crows
In a field in sunny Spain stands a stone mortar. Crows hover around it, picking up bits of grain and chaff—cawing.
Here Marcheta, in the fresh beauty of her youth,
will come to pound maize. For years she will pound
maize. The stone will stand up under the blows;
not a dent has the muscle of three generations of
children. Marcheta will be black-girls upon a woman aging early and beth-
with toil. Old Marcheta—still in her thirties.
The American woman does not pound maize. But she still beats carpet; she still pounds clothes; she still pumps water. She exhausts her strength in tasks which electricity can do better, and in half the time.
The high ideals of a community mean little where woman is still doomed to drudgery. But the miracles' which electricity already has performed indicate but a fraction of the vast possibilities for better living and the tremendous opportunities which the future developments in electricity will hold for the college man and woman.
