MONDAY, MAY 17, 1926 WORKERS WHO WIN The winning editorial in the Kansas editorial contest was written by a working student who knew what he said when he claimed that there is a lot of bunk written about "the poor working student." Guy Graves is a lineplot operator for the Kansan, and works every day that the Kansan is published. T. C. Rythner, who tied for second place with Chlyton Bismuth, is another Kansan printer, and Finch is a working student as well as being the present editor-in-chief of the Kansan. The editors' given honorable men were written by two men who are printers, and by a woman who has earned part of her way through school. Frederick McNeill is a printer employed on the Kauan, and Clarence Mundis is a printer who works in one of the down-town shops. Mitriam McClelland is one of the hardest working students in the department of journalism and sells advertising for the Journal-World. THE COST OF FAME AND GLORY It might be interesting to note in conclusion that four of the six writers of winning editorials are journeymen printers. Should Kansas follow the lead of Missouri, Nebraska, and other valley schools, and go in more strouply for intersection contexts, or should it content itself with merely being one of the leaders in its own conference, and allow its sister conference universities to gather all the honors, if such they may be termed, on foreign fields? Four years ago, Kansas journeyed east to West Point and played the Army almost to a standstill in a football game. Kansas alumni from all over New York state centered their thoughts on their alma mater that day and for many days before and after the game. Hundreds of them saw in it an opportunity to most former classmates who had also prepared for the life struggle mount Oumt'oread, and banded together, chartered a steamer and, with the team aboard, steamed down the Hudson to the Point and the game. Other games, in other parts of the United States, would no doubt incite similar gatherings, and a like amount of spirit and loyalty would be revenerated. But trips are expensive scholastically as well as financially. A week lost during the closing days of a semester might prove an unconquerable handicap. Is the necessity for spreading the name and fame of the University of Kansas urgent enough to place in jeopardy the scholastic standing of a score of athletes? HOOKEY Cutting classes has caused more flunks than any other single factor, according to a dean of men in a nursing school who has made an exhaustive survey. A professor at this University who has given much consideration to the subject also believes that cutting is the greatest cause for flunks. Students realize this. The matter is given little or no consideration until excessive cuts grow large in number. Then much cannot be done. The grade will be determined by the final examination. It is now too late to warn. Next fall these same persistent absences will cut as many classes as ever, if they are fortunate to be back. Many times it is excusable for one to miss a class. This is recognized by the members of the faculty by allowing an many cuts as there are credit hours to the course. Beyond this number the grade is lowered as the number increases. That "dumb" person who sat next to you in that course may pass with a creditable grade, while you may draw in a D or an F. But he was repugnished in his attendance, and you went—well, only when there was nothing else to do. THE UNIVERSITY AS IT IS, Sunday's Kansas City Star carried a lengthy story by a University of Kansas student which was no doubt a startling revelation to many people of the state. A woman on the Hill has given a first-hand description of University life as she has found it and the picture thus painted is so different from what most people think university life to be that it makes a good news story. The writer of the story has successfully answered four of the most common criticisms directed at a university. She shows first how her expenses for one year were held down to only $500; second, that social life is officially directed and more restricted than what she was accustomed to at home; third, that the so-called "wild parties" are indulged in only by a limited few; and fourth, that instructors will gladly give time and attention to those who show proper interest. The writer admits, of course, that it is very easy for the person more interested in a good time than in an education to spend more than $600 a year. The story reveals that it is quite a bite to girls who welcome college life as a place to rid them of perverse control, to find that they have to be in earlier than they do at home. Very seldom does such a story appear in a metropolitan paper—one which with the 50 are living and working for an education, while the oa is out cursing around, drinking, spending money, wrecking morals and defaming his own reputation and that of his school. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansas: In consideration of the attitude reported regarding the wearing of their caps, should they have anything to say in 'future' reports regarding the wearing of their caps? For the first time since even the first college cold flies on the Hill can be found, the team has returned to wear caps and have actually had to wear a new cap. The team has been operation at first, but the fresh usually came around and gracefully soiled their caps. Of course, it was the fact that they were made more stringent, but the upperclassmen bounced down (they were still wearing their caps) game and the matter was dropped until this Spring. Now the freshman are all ready to commit to don their caps for something like two weeks. Practically in the next few years, other classes are going to want the freshness of the future to wear caps. But it is not a fork to nikkei freshmen when it is a fork to nikkei freshmen. There are less than three weeks of school remaining—less than three weeks of graduation shall stand or fall. It is up to the freshman who acquired enough Kansas spirit to want to see traditions on the Hill perpetuated, let them grow strong, and help beat Missouri last fall" or "WE have beat Mississippi last football basketball team." -A Seminole NEXT WEDNESDAY NIGHT IS THE NIGHT Reserved Seats Now Selling Second Appearance of Tau Sigma Dancing Recital. one book exchange will be open from 9 o'clock until 12:50 and from 1:50 to 6:30.
