The University needs a new student hospital. There are many features about the present one that should be remedied; there is only one consultation room, so that in rush times students have to wait; there is no sound-proof room for private conferences; the building is an old dwelling house with only one narrow flight of stairs; a dumb elevator carries the food to the second floor, and the nurses have to carry it to the third floor; there are no quarters for the nurses in the hospital; and then, biggest of all, during epidemics the hospital is insufficient to care for all patients. If the case is very serious and the hospital is full, someone is moved to another hospital in town, where $4 to $6 a day is spent for room and care. This condition has arisen at least three times in the last three years. The Kansas does not wish to urge the students to demand a hospital without investigating the other needs of the University first, but it does wish to present to the students, friends and alumni the extent of the hospital needs and to urge them to consider and discuss it. ONLY A LIFE 100 Girls Calm in Dermitory Fire —Headline. But what about the spectators? One trilennial years ago, scientists have proved, a body, the moon, broke away from the swiftly whirling earth and began slowly to move away into space. At first it was so close that the tides joined them twice every day, but finally owing to one of nature's unfailing laws, it was pushed outward slowly but surely. What a picture we might paint of this last period of civilization on the earth, the earth wheeling along through space carrying on its surface the civilization built up by a race of men advanced 19,000,000,000,000 years beyond ours. Year by year they can watch the moon coming nearer, nearer, its advance marking the approaching destruction to the hour. It will continue this outward push until a few trillion years from now the action of the tides will cause a new combination of forces to act which will start it back again on its journey toward the earth. Other trillions of years will pass until finally they will meet again as slowly as they parted. To what will they turn when they know the end is coming soon? Will there be a sort of deathless repentance over the earth or a period of wantonness and riotous living while life still stings? Then the end begins. The moon comes too close. It crumples the mighty towers erected by man as a man might crush a house of cards. Around and around the earth it rumbles, a mighty mill stone reducing all that it passes over until all is desolation and silence. All life is extinct except perhaps lower forms of plants and animals that have, because of their very simplicity, survived. Over the earth broods a silence which it has not felt since that dawn of creation twenty trillion years ago. Is it the end or will it mark only a chapter in the boundless book of time, a little interval of rest until out of the haue arises evolution and nature to produce another race of men with governments, worries, theories and religions? AMERICA HAS HER COL LEGE STUDENTS! We know that spring is here because we have written several editorials on the subject. Furthermore, we are sure of another thing, that with spring comes the army of field sales-managers, vice-presidents, or perhaps just common, ordinary special representatives of such and such com "Now Mr. Jones, your name was given me from a very select list. I have a proposition to offer you for summer work which will enable you to spend a very profitable and most enjoyable summer. It is absolutely fool proof; our company will guarantee a good salary, a commotion, and always pays a bonus to those who are faithful friends of the group and are with us. Could you come to see me and let me explain the work "urther?" So it is every spring. The country in again to be papered with maps, housewives will have a new supply of aluminium warts, a Bible will be placed in every home and the house-work will become less of a burden because there will be an adequate supply of patent can-openers, mops, pairing knives and what not. And too, the "I-historic" of the country will decrease—magnifies of all sorts will reach the houses in counties numbers. All because the college student must have work for the summer, and because the reputable concerns must have bright, enterprising and well-educated salesmen to represent them. It happens year after year. Many are inspecting how far further college students will go forth to meet the world on fire after a three-day intensive study in high-quality education. The summer is over. Many return with blistered feet, empty pocketbooks, and a memory filled with bitter experiences of impatient housewives, irritable farmers and cool, creative business men. Still fewer return with glowing accounts of success and thrilling adventures out in the world of hard knocks. Pocketbooks are not empty, but still they will fit conveniently into the pocket. In the story goes on and on. The emancipation that he is working his way through college and has just so many more sales before he earns his bonus, Mr. Layman buys an helium. He likes to use the young person help themselves. Legalized barbers, God bless 'em! Even a man who keeps his nose to its grindstone is likely to get into nubble. Witness Muscolini. O. THE POOR DANDELION Familiarity breeds contempt; it has always bred contempt. We must import things if we are to enjoy them most. The things that have always been a part of our lives are to us the most uninteresting in the world. We care more for California orange than we do for Kauai spuds although the spud has the orange beat more ways than a farmer can come to trove. Consider the low dandelion. Have you ever stopped long enough to pick one and give it a few impartial glances? Look at it closely and forget that it is commoner than grass on the campus. What other small flower is more beautiful than the dandelion, with its thick clustering petals, a deep orange in the center and gradually fading to pure yellow at the edges? Is there another flower more racey, more tenacious of life than the dandelion? In its industry and thirst of the human race might find inspiration. Suppose in all the world the only dandelions were to be found in green houses. Suppose they cost us three dollars a dozen. Then we would proudly send them to our "choosen" with glowing little dittes seeing in their sunny faces the sunshine of her smile. Artists would rave over their beauty, and poets over their charm, But darn the little pests anyway. It isn't our fault that God gave us so many of them that we can't pause long enough at our work of trying to exterminate them to see that they are not an black as they are yellow. Our granddads hate them, our dads hated them, we hate them and unless Calvin Coolidge sees fit to praise them, our kids will cause them just as fierely. W. S. JOHNSON, Chairman.

Among the landscapes which he liked especially well were "The Meen" and "imagams," the picture of a mule's head, with its furry background. This crittle mentioned a simplicity and forcefulness about the artist's treatment of his subjects in this work.

"Is that William Jennings Bryan?" asked a student when he walked into the room where the professor was tutoring of Pilhecathropus Erectea. TAU BETA PI: "wear tuxedo and dress before you leave," admonishes an announcement to the glee club in the Kannan. Ah! she! the glee club members aren't to be allowed to leave home without dressing, apparently. After an announcement the week preceding Easter that all senior dues Among the visitors who straggled during one recent day in to the exhibition of watercolors by Raymond Jonson, hanging in the central Administration building gallery, were an interested but otherwise ordinary painter and a professional painter. Each commented on the pictures in his own way. The Tale of Two Critics The student looked at the watercolors for almost half an hour, and obviously he enjoyed them. He said the colors were the brilliant and many-colored landscapes of Santa Fe, New Mexico. The mountain backgrounds, he said, suggested to him the bigness and massiveness of the country, and he thought it was so important to see adoleshes, looking so hot in the sun's glare, something of the people of the Southwest. He declared that to see such pictures was the next best thing to visiting the country, although, he added, he was determined to enjoy its beauty. The student left the gallery, pleased with the imaginative visit to Santa Fe which the pictures had given him. A short while afterward the painter visited the city where he enjoyed the pictures and talked about them. He commented on the artist's skill in getting warm, bright colors—reds and purples and yellows and orange. He also noted that bright harmonious picture. Watercolors, he thought, made an excellent medium for painting the light, clear atmosphere and the brilliant buses of southern country. And Jouan knew well of the substance gave substance to his forms—the clay houses, the old mission church, the mountains and hills. He was of the opinion that the artist had shown the power of imagination which made his pictures outstanding. He cited an examples of interesting composition, "Alligiau," with its adobes seen from above, "Woman in a Dress" by Aguayona, and "A Doorway Vista." must be in by noon April 1, the deadline was extended until April 9, which was absolutely the latest they could be paid, but now the announcement is that they may be received as late as the frat of next week. However, we have it officially that no more dues will be received after commencement day, Finding it rather difficult to compete with the Sour Owl and the gentle spring breezes lins, Friday morning, she ran into the kitchen early.

How could he be on the council." --- The University of Oklahoma has made a survey to determine "Why women go to college." One hundred women were asked why they were in college, and the answer to get an education, but further inquiry showed that fifteen went because the home town was too dead or overrun; seven went to teach 11; 22 because they wanted a good time; five confessed wanting to belong to a safety; two because they wanted a last fling before going out and on wants to get a husband.
