Sort of a house-boy party, we suppose. EAST MEETS WEST The student body and friends of the University are proud and happy to know that the Kansas Men's Glee Club, a product of the Middle West, has again made a name for itself by winning third among fifteen contests in the national intercollegiate glee club contest that was held Saturday night in New York City. According to press discpatches, the Kansas club was received with enthusiasm, and at the announcement of the winners, the Jayhawkers received applause that rivaled that given the winners of first and second places. The local followers, who helped send the club to New York will not feel that their efforts were wasted, for with characteristic western vigor Kansas has again won a place in the sun, and deserves all the glory which has been bestowed upon her. THE BLANKET TAX "My Four Dodge" repeated a pedestrian, reading the sign on the tire cover of a motor car at the entrance to the campus. "That's right," he explained, as he stepped out of the path of another speeding motorist. The mid-western conference of Men's Student Council at the meeting in New Orleans, Feb. 17-20, passed a resolution pledging itself to do all in its power to secure legislation necessary for the collection of a blanket tax for student activities. It might be well to review the problem and see how it would affect the student body at K. U. In the first place the blanket tax is for small schools, where the support of everyone in the college is necessary to justify any kind of extra-curricular activity. The enrollment at Kansas is certainly large enough to support activities without forcing every student to contribute to their support. Suppose every student did pay the blanket fee. Not every one could attend all events. The University does not possess adequate facilities for handling the entire student body at any gathering, except football games. Many students cannot afford to attend all activities, and the blanket tax would be a grave injustice to them. Many others do not care to attend some events, and so should not be forced to pay for something they do not care to see. At the present time the blanket tax seems unfair, undemocratic, and not needed at Kansas. The present activity ticket meets more with the favor of the student body than the blanket tax possibly could. The public will naturally sympathize with Gen. John J. Pershing in the loss of all his teeth. But he is not the first man to suffer physical disability as the result of service in the United States Army. Since Missouri's insistent demand that her game with Kansas be scheduled for Thanksgiving day in order that more fans might be free to attend, other Valley teams may expect to have the Tigers request that they play on Sunday instead of Saturday. "WRONG NUMBER" Oh for an Emily Post of telephone etiquette! Instead of telling the person to go to Koekil, you answer in your sweetest tones that perhaps he has the wrong number. A jar to the sensitive ear drums from the hurried crash of the receiver is your reward. Repetition of incidents of this nature seem to indicate that our stage of telephone culture is very low. If the telephone public cannot follow simple rules of courtesy, the present tendency might become standardized and a reply of "wrong number" he followed by a fitting retweet and an immediate slamming of the receiver. Turn about is fair play. The musical model for the gown is the latest sensation furnished for the spring styles in London. What we want to see depicted is Moonlight and Roses, Humoresque, and Yes Sir, She's My Baby. BUGGY RIDING Reports from other colleges seem to indicate that buggy-riding is coming back into style as a past-time. Down at Baylor University the authorities have placed a ban on "nourbal automobile jeer-riding." That failed to stop the students from taking evening jaunts, however, for some one dug up some buggies and now it is "all the go" to hire a buggy, drop around for your lady friend, and so buggy-riding. Not so many years ago out where the Victory highway stretches, and where the gasoline wagons burn up the concrete to Kansas City and Topeka, there were buggies jogging along the shady quiet roads. There were no concrete roads in those days and there was not so much need for keeping one's eye on the road and turning out far enough for some faster vehicle. Of course, one couldn't go as far in as short a time, but then it took just as long to get back from where one went. Students of this generation probably would not vote to go back to the old days of buggy riding. They are too food of speed and are too anxious to get somewhere. But at least one school has discovered that buggy riding isn't so bad, and there is one indisputable fact—we of today haven't everything with us when we really consider the advantages of automobile and buggy riding. "Lords of Smiles to Coolidge", say a headline in the Kansas City Star. We always knew "Cal" was averse to smiling, but we didn't know he had to buy them in carload lots. LONG DISTANCE On the fifth anniversary of the invention of the telephone by Alexander Graham Bell, New York and London were linked together yesterday in their first radio telephone conversation. The reception at both ends was said to be clearer than in the average of local calls. An increase from a distance of two miles in 1876 to 3,500 miles in 1920 over land and sea has been the remarkable record of the telephone in its half century of existence. Equally indispensable in our modern business and social life, the telephone shows promise of development of even greater use in conquering space and linking together the people of the world. As evidence that it was a real telephone conversation, it may be noted that a woman spoke first and following the universal custom she talked about the weather. In 1915 New York and San Francisco were linked together and it is quite possible that in a short time long distance calls to people in London and other continental cities will be available. The first message transmitted from London was a news tery. For a while it was "bobbed-haired andits", and now they are all scarred" bandits. How long will it e before we have some "scared" ban- its. How much does it cost to be a teacher? And once a teacher, how much is it worth? These questions, precise and unrestricted, are answered as ternly as they are asked in last month's School Life by Mima Ena R. Editorials From Other Hills The Price of the Doctorate A hailehaye's degree costs $400 and four years, the master's $600 and five, and the doctorate, $850, and two men, not in medical money alone. And the reward? For the few who are chosen, it is a professorship, attained only at the end of 15 or 20 years, and at the age of 35, to $700, at a medium-sized one $7700, and at the largest $6000. The grains of a deamah are slightly higher. Whereas professors average $811 and receive a mean of $634. The whole problem of recruiting the teaching profession is here stated luminously and conclusively. As a career teacher offers nothing, materially speaking, commensurate with the profits which await men of similar ability in other professions. On a financial basis it cannot compete with law, medicine, horticulture, this figure of courses is not new, but it is worth stating in figures which cannot be blinded. Because teaching must compete in the future, as it does not now, for the facet of university graduates, it is important to see the problem and the remedy. The rewards of education, of course, can be valuable. A professor of English literature will never be paid like the president of a railroad and no embryo professors ever expect to be. But as long as they can hope to strike no higher average than $3111 after spending $8509 and 20 years in preparation, the great majority of the teachers are unfortunately greatly绩 to railroads and banks and law offices and brokerage establishments.—Harvard Crimson. A R T One who loves bright colors—pinks, blues, marbles, greenys, yellowns—and warm sunshine flooding the world about him should delight in the landscapes in the exhibition of contemporary oil paintings of Cleveland artists now hanging in the East Administration building. In Keller's "Old Mission, Santa Cruz," Adometez "The Village," Santa Cruz's "Portugese Girl" and Edmundson's two pictures, for ex- To step into the exhibit from the Brywood collection hanging in the adjoining gallery is like passing onto a flower-filled sun porch from a cool quite parlor. But color does not tell the whole story of the exhibit, but it can be used with its straight lines, its blanket of untracked snow, its heavy dark sky, one catches the feeling of the bleak soul-lea stone crumbler. Wilson's "Dome at Paris" seems to show a wall of crystalline white and forms convincingly, while Collins's "Desert and Garden" and Adomité's "Kirland" exhibit remarkable conceptions of great distances and masses. From the standpoint of price, the most notable picture is that entitled "The Dreamer", by Gyttwald, which carries a thousand dollar tag. The colors of the picture are warm browns and grays, and all its tones blend into a warm, earthy tone that color to interpret the warm emotional nature of the dreamer. The sensitive face, with the gentle for away look of the eyes, holds the attention, and the admirer of art, as the painter, recognizes Undoubtedly there are flaws in the workmanship of the pictures which the trained eye catches quickly enough, and the lack of detail makes America's greatest. For example, even a leathman feels a lack of unity of composition in Wilcox's "Valley at an Edge" (1960), where details of the picture the eye does not find a resting place, but wanders continuously over the canvas. In the striking images of the right arm is faulty. In a few pictures the hayman is somewhat at loss to know the point of view of the artist, and so finds them less easy than others to appreciate. He is known for his Maloney's painting "The Pines", done in a so-called ultra-modern style. Miss Coltman's "Portygee Neighborhood" is startling because of its bright colors, its disregard of the conventional metrical composition from squares. There is much enjoyment in this exhibit for the layman who will try to appreciate the pictures for their own use, not for their counterfeiting of nature.
