No political party has yet existed on the campus that could resist the temptation to tuear, jeep and hurl epithets at the other. Each party, in telling of its own virtues soon runs short of material and falls back on the old panthee—that of hurling mud at its opponents. From a politician's viewpoint there appear to be three distinct classes of students on the campus: in the first group, his party and its candidates; who are angels for morality and super-men for brain and ability; in the second group, the other party, whose members and candidates are morons, hirings and develoity; and in the third group, the student body, so dumb and ignorant that they can't see the glaring differences between the first two groups, so must have them pointed out. The Kanman up to date has had little trouble in adhering to its policy of refusing aid and suceer to all political parties. But if one is ever organized with sufficient strength of character to refrain permanently from the childish pastime of mud-slinging, the paper may be strongly tempted to extend it the right hand of fellowship. ROUGH SLEDDING A representative of a large concern interviewed a number of K. U. seniors last week. When he took leave he advised a few of them that if they'd cut off their mountains they might "get by" better with the next man who came along. And they cut 'em off. Language courses in a modern university are rough sledding. Many students have always thought so, and Sinchie Lewis recently made known his belief that it is practically impossible to learn a language at a university. Each year a thousand or two freshmen enter the University of Kansas. Most of them enter with an ambition to master some one language, in addition to their own, during their four years in school. A majority of them enroll in some elementary language course at the beginning of the first semester. By the middle of the semester signs, moans and groans are heard from the sufferers. And at the end of the semester, those who are fortunate enough to get a passing grade offer up silent thanks to Allah. This is the case whether it is French, German, Italian, Spanish or some other language. One of two things may cause the trouble: the average college student doesn't know his English grammar sufficiently well to learn another language, or else the system of instruction is inefficient. An attempted remedy should be forthcoming in either case, for a student who takes five hours of a language and isn't able to continue the subject has wanted his time. If preparatory schools aren't giving sufficient training in teaching grammar the University might well institute a course in grammar as prerequisite to all language courses. It is true that a man never really knows a woman until he has married her, and he usually first realizes it when he sees the wedding write-up in the home town paper. STILL SILENT! Another week-end has passed. Mr. Average Student bribily stepped on the campus again after a short respite from lessons. Remaining over with energy and with the desire to get that outside reading completely out of the way before finals, he stepped briskly up to the door of Watson. And the door it stuck! Hope grew in the student's heart, for he jumped to the conclusion that the doors and been rehung over the week-end to swing outward and were sticking because of the change Holding his breath in anticipation he again tried the door. It moved—but also, it肌 move. In discouraged, the student passed through the portals of learning. For a few seconds, all seemed black. Almected the day he opened. But then Mr. Student noticed a new assortment of posters artistically displaying the week's offering of relief from studies and he was cheered immeasurably. With steps almost as hopeful as before, he pushed open the doors to the reception room and confidently turned to view his friend, the library clock. All the buoyancy went out of his carriage, his head dropped, and blindly he stumbled to a convenient chair. For the hands held their incarcerated place—it was still ten minutes to eight as it had been since before the Easter holidays. Silent Seth was still silent. Crushed and with his faith in humanity lost, Mr. Average Student gave up his hat shred of hope. An older week had been started wrong. Silent Skill looked on in glee and his robustness hands triumphantly viewed their diabolical work, pointing to ten minutes of eight. SIMON LEGREES Every year students in some courses believe that they have grounds for complaint as to the actions of a few faculty members who, they believe, pinch themselves about this time in the school year, wake up with a start, and proceed to make life vulnerable with extra assignments, of term papers and reports. No doubt by far the greater part of the members of the faculty have been able to strike a happy medium in assigning term papers and reports, as well as regular work, but apparently there still remain those who begin to have trouble with their respective consciences during the latter part of April, and attempt to appear the quailms arising therefrom by inflicting chewawy assignments upon the students; in their classes. With the coming of spring and the allowances of a come-what humane nature that might be made, each added work sometimes enriches hard ship, and certainly it has a derogatory effect upon the student's frame of mind; likewise his feelings towards the particular faculty member officiating. A professor who has struck up a happy medium as to a student's requirements, and spreads them out evenly over the period, will tend to find much more favor in the eyes of his students than the one who "couples" the first three quarters and then names the qualities of a Simon Legrande during the last. At The Theater Beatrice Lille, Gertrude Lawrence and Jack Rihmann, a trio of English theater stars who were born in 1929" which opened at the Student theater in Kansas City last year. They play, dance, clown and entertain every minute of the evening as they perform on the stage from certain to certain. Andre Charlet has conceived his revues of the last two years into the present edition which he is talking to the Freeport Cove after a Chinese boat. He is set in a town with a lot of comedy, plenty of rabble extra material, staggered three shorts of the first magnitude, a hard-worked story and a choir of intimate strewnness. A. Wilcox, M. Johnson Campus Opinion Jack Buchanan works hurried of the principals, while Mick Lille (real life the Lady Pea) vies with her elves comedy and characterization. She is naturally pleasing, and she does her full share of fun-making. The crisis is so clever, the comedy so chiccose, and the work of prized and eloquent is so amusing as to favor them. The Kurlish lack humor—F. McN. Charlie Haines BUSINESS MANAGER 1927 JAYHAWKER Editor-In-Chief: The independent ticket was not placed in a convention of 200 men, as reported in the editorial "The New Party" in a recent Knoun. The writer of the editorial was either prejudiced or not informed of the facts concerning the new party. A tentative ticket was proposed for each on the Thursday before the convention. A group of men and women gathered to vote on names for the response of Green. The list is identified with the new name sponsored by the independent group. A Non-Partisan Candidate Perhaps the new party was organized for the sole purpose of backing a right-wing coalition leader. Today it has other purposes, many of which are in absolute contradiction to its ideals. for A campaign on a lie will not help the politics of this HHL—CEM Anyone who takes a second thought will understand what is being done, but you don't need to bond together to overview an organization and then turn around and take the members of that organization in hand, without some other matter.

You've been cutting that class regularly." "Yeah, I know, but the proj's going to read a shocking play today." During the recent snowball home-borne at Green Hall, a professor who was leaving out of a window was hit. Pressing the scattered snowwall together, he attempted to average the wrong, but the moment dodged lies. "What is that?" asked the professor. "What message?" cried the professor. "The idea of a criminal seeker." A student dashed furiously into room and bursts out to his roommate. "Those d—Lawrence motor coop tools" he said, and I was going sixty miles an hour." "Were you?" anked his friend. "No. I swear I was going sixty two." A stranger was riding the Toowoomba trolley up the winding road to the Hill. As the car cared the too high road, she bounced backward, bewildered manner, trapped the motorman on the shoulder and asked, "Can you tell me which one of these builders made it?" 06. 4 DICK MULLINS for Business Manager 1927 Jayhawker "For Better Jayhawkers" Murray Danglade for EDITOR, 1927 JAYHAWKER Qualifications 1.
