OUR MEALS
The public will generally overlook a certain amount of poor service but the students on the Hill have reached the limit of patience with the Commons. This building, so the K book tells us, "in conducted by the State of Kansas, through the University, for the purpose of providing good meals for the students at low prices."
The marked decrease of patronage at the noon hour during the past few weeks bears much evidence to the growing dissatisfaction with service, food and price. Some students live at a distance, and some others have too heavy a schedule to prevent their leaving the Hill for lunch, else the Commons might almost be forced to close.
Good meals! Well, they just do not know anything about good results at the Commons. The food is usually poorly cooked, unseasoned, afterfarm old or burnt. The menu, too, remains practically unchanged from day to day.
Low prices? Yes, if you are not hungry. The individual who eats as much as the average restaurant cut out for regular meal, must pay 40 or 50 cents for an equal amount of food at the Commons. Price of food is much lower this year than last; but the Commons has raised prices on its dishes as well as cut down on the portion served.
One student recently reminded that he never bought anything good at the Commons except ice cream. So he went to the museum, enriched packing salt and ice cream.
The K book statement must be revised or the service at the Common changed.
--al treatises have been written since
hall, Sophocles and Plato, but yet
the writings of these men have an
esteemed place in our civilization today. Art has adventureed into the realms of futurism and impressionism, but we have recognized only one Michael Angelo. There have been other successful painters, it is true, but doubtless all of them learned much from their prototypes of the centuries before.
For a long time the rest of the University has wondered what wins wrong with the School of Law. Students on their way to 8:30 classes this morning had the matter antifactoryly explained to them.
HOMAGE
College students of today have access to all the knowledge, all the achievements of the past. To those who take time to follow up the problems of individual research which suggest themselves in various classes, Watson library offers a veritable treasury of learning.
The world is in the midst of an era of stupendous progress, scientificly, politically and religiously. Fundamentalists and modernists, Klan and anti-Klan exponents, church members and non-church members, all are championship their own causes. Each thinks his own ideas about a little better, a little farther. Each thinks a little better yet each is striving ultimately for the same things; knowledge, power, Utopia.
It is a far cry, indeed, from the ancient civilizations of Egypt, Greece and Rome to the throbbing, complex life of today; but down through the ages, have men not lost sight of a great many of the most valuable contributions of these older civilizations? Today we probably have no one comparable to Moses, Plato and Pliny in the philosophical world. Science has made tremendous and phenomenal progress, but still homage can be paid to Pythagoras, Archimedes and Gallileo for their vigorous beginnings in scientific study.
Many books, plays, and philosophi-
This indeed is an era of supreme progress. Opportunities before the college student and graduate of today are unassured, immunocompromised. But let him not forget the work of the women during the dark ages of human thought make it possible for him to "he" and "know" today.
Maybe W, S. G. A. will introduce some constructive legislation now, permitting women to park their roller skates on the Hill in return for a small license fee.
THE ROCK CHALK PILE
In a great many schools over the country popular rallying centers may be found, which are spats cherished in the history of the school. Examples of these are the columns at Missouri and the Harvard Yard.
The University of Kansas does not have such a thing, but under the guidance of Sachem backed by the Merl's Student Council it looks as if we might have some such association.
might have some such association. The promoted Rock Chalk Pile will provide the campus with a rallying center that will remain as a commemorative spot at the University in the years to come. The Rock Chalk has become famous through the Kansan yell and this fact alone should make the use of the native stone significant.
The idea is not new. It was first proposed in the wave of public spirit that accompanied the coming of Chancellor Strong. It did not become a reality at that Time, but it is hoped that now the dream may become an actuality rather than a dream.
FAIRMOUNTS GIFT TO WICHITA
Wichita is to have a municipal university show. What has been for many years Fairmount college, a Congregational school, will be the Wichita Municipal University when school opens next fall. The institution is a gift to the city by the prosecution of Fairmount College. By a mayoral election last week the citizens of Wichita have accepted the gift.
The new university will be welcomed by Kananac all over the state, for it represents another asplid move toward better higher education in this state. Already Kananac is one of the first five states in the country in regard to the number colleges, junior colleges and universities. Few states can rival the Sunflower state in the number of educational opportunities it offers.
Fairmount is turning over to the city property valued at from $50,000 to $75,000 in return for a check for $1. To duplicate the present outlay of buildings and equipment on the Fairmount campus would require an expenditure of more than a million dollars, according to engineers and really experts who have inspected the college. Attendance should greatly increase beyond its 600 or 700 students this year.
Kansas is fortunate. Her men and women of the future will be blessed with the advantages which careful, co-operative e-counseling methods give. Maintaining a state university and a state agricultural college, as well as many societal and normal
If one is to judge by the number of editors being written about "beautifying towns," then it would be safe for one to say that Kansas towns are soon to be a mecca of flowers, trees, apple blossoms, etc.
schools, and with the promise of a big municipal university in Kansas City, Mo., Kansas is proud of its educational opportunities.
Robert G. Ingersoll said college is a place where pebbles are polished and diamonds are dimmed. Let the Rock Chalk Pile never diminish to a dimness.
"SLIDE, KELLY, SLIDE""
What's the use? Why pay cources and take the time of fifty men in daily practice to become problem halls? When are they to play to empty standings?
a hurdle rolling in, a throwing slide for home and a baseball game vown. Up in the stands, a straigling hundred spectators clap.
University athletics exist for two, primarily good purposes: to promote a spirit of loyalty to the institution and to provide an advertising medium. Obviously neither can be realized unless crowds go to the games.
Baseball is called the American national sport. But it seems to be falling off in popularity among the camper generation.
It is a great game, interesting to watch and beneficial to play. But it's very nature requires enthusiasm, hardship and enthusiasm is wanting here. Mary colleges have dropped the sport. We shall have to do the same or balance it up before it dies in natural death.
Music Week Notes
--class recently, "T-L-I-E-G-A-L!" you made a double dribble out of that answer," the professor shot hark it back at you with a smile. You attempted to answer the question.
The queen of singers sings here in Lawrence tonight. Ernestine Schumann-Heink has made a place for herself in the hearts of Americans which has no parallel in the history of the nation. We love her for more than she is famous, we have found that she has a heart as big as universal motherhood.
Those who feel that they have heard the heat that Schumann-Heink has to give and who have not heard her sing Geoffrey O'Hara's "There Is No Death" will discover how wrong they are to talk. "There Is No Death" is on the program, and "Tap" will unobtentibly be granted as an en
It is more than probable that Madame Schumann-Heink will draw the largest crowd of the week to Robinson gymnasium. Her singing undoubtedly has a wider appeal than that of any other organization scheduled for the week.
Mac and his band have been shelved to the background this year for some unknown reason. Of course "concert" by the band have been announced for Massachusetts street, but it does seem strange that as a good friend of Mac's, he should be given a back seat during the celebration of music week.
It's cooler how people prefer the singing of a group of men to that of a group of women. The women's glee club did some excellent singing Monday night, but the attitude of many of the heavens was that its numbers were necessary evil, to be cured while the man's club was restructured. It is that numbers by the son's organization were better received in some cases than were some numbers which were beautifully sung by the women.
The Dreamatic Club members at Stanford University who are in the junior opera have threatened to strike the orchestra, if production is not given reduced rates to the junior prom than ought. And the prom managers resisted.
On Other Hills
A cannon and real chimes are contributions to the 1000 piece band at the University of Illinois. These are to be called into action, not by the conductor's baton, but by electric arm semaphore signals.
"Under Water," featuring the Floa iida swamps, is the name of the musical comedy which will be given at University of Oklahoma next week.
Horsehoe pitching, hikes and horseback riding are popular sports with women at Ohio State University, according to the Ohio State Lancers. They also played for the horsesehose classes which began this week recently.
One edition of the Oklahoma Daily runs the statement above the name plate, "Correct this sentence; the most peculiar thing about the junior prom was the complete absence of any bye by any of the student candidates."
The rainwater which the University of Illinois is having made in order to protect its gridridr in the rainy season is made in four sections, each 188 x 82 feet, weight about four tons, and weighing approximately ten thousand dollars.
All members of the University band will be excused 10 minutes before the close of the second hour class Friday morning, April 20, and proceed at ease to their proper places in the line of march to the Union building.

"What is this place," inquired the visitor. "A club?"
"No," replied the patient guide,
"you have before you a college professor and his class."
At one end of the room a poorly dressed gentleman was talking to himself; no one was paying any attention to him.

A visitor entered, a large, well-lit room which was filled with seats. The seats were occupied by men who were reading newspapers, sleeping and conversing in small rooms, and another three men score playing cards.

Two prominent HI sororities were having a running battle over a popular girl named Henrietta. In going to college, she was the young woman to accept a dinner invitation, whereupon the second sorority put her in charge of young women at the first security.
"Hello, is this Henrietta?" a member of the second sorority asked of he answering voice.
"Yes," came the rather abrupt answer.
"What are you doing this afternoon?" questioned the sorority girl. "Well, I got scrape up and wash a delta dish." was the astounding reply.
It seems that the cook at the first sorority house was also named Henvletta.
"What do you thing of a fellow who fools two profs with the same notes?"
"That's what I call a mean trick." "I'd call it diplomacy."
