The Oklahoma legislature found this true, but only after thirteen school children had lost their lives when the school caught fire and everyone rushed for the door. In the face of this evidence, however, the newest and most beautiful building on the campus, Watson library, is built with doors swinging inward. Perhaps the fact that Watson is fireproof, blinded the architects to the extent of failing to realize that panies may occur from other reasons except fires, and that no public building, no matter how safe it appears to be, is wholly free from danger of fire. "TEN YEARS FOR FIVE CENTS" The scales of justice must be a great deal off balance and the laughter of the gods a trifle ironic as a result of Judge Thad B. Lambon's sentencing two Kansas City men to ten years in the penitentiary for participating in a holdup which netted them five cents and some keys. EXCUSE OUR ROADS The prosecutor in his argument to the jury declared that the amount of money taken from the two negroes was immaterial but that assault was the serious phase. Kansas City seems to insist that its robbers be polite and confine their activities to worthwhile amounts. The robbers deserve punishment, it is evident, but it is interesting to speculate what would have happened had the amount been $8,000 instead of five cents. The state highway system of Kansas may be out of the mud by 1940 according to latest estimates. State engineers beam and the populace sing carols of joy to think that Kansas will be only fifteen or twenty years behind other states. Eight thousand miles of dirt road remain to be hard surface. Eight million dollars is the yearly income of the highway department, and the annual increase in the number of motor cars is expected to swell this amount. State officials indicate that it is possible that traffic needs will call for the completion of this program a little before 1940. Meanwhile, the rut, the bump and the mud hole seem to be institutions destined to linger in Kansas roads. Nothing is so quickly noticed and condemned by tourists as dirt roads in poor condition. Certainly Kansas business has reached the volume where it deserves an efficient and convenient system of transportation. The Kansas medieval attitude toward highways might be symbolized in signs, "Excuse Our Roads." A CHANCE TO THINK If an administrator or an instructor in a university is asked the purpose of a college education, he will very likely reply that it is to develop thinking on the part of the students. Then he will go back to the classroom and do practically all within his power to keep students from thinking. He doesn't do it with that intention, but he does it none the less. If the teachers expect to see a realization of the purpose of the college, even as they state it, they must first of all provide students with an opportunity to think for themselves. Fulfilling the requirements for most courses depends upon faithful copying and later reproduction of class lectures, reading copious volumes of references and taking extensive notes on them. All this is more or less routine work, done in a mechanical way, and requires little thinking. The more faithful one is in fulfilling these requirements the less time one has to do any thinking. A student should and must have time to reflect upon what he reads and to see the relationship between what he reads and is told, and the class in which he is enrolled. No student could do all this work and not learn something. Wouldn't it be far better if he had read less and thought more? It rather seems that college faculties put a higher premium upon the individual who does not think than they do on the one who does. Some instructors see the discrepancy between their preaching and practice and are giving their students less actual assigned work, and more freedom to choose the subject matter and amount of work which they are to do for the course. Perhaps some day all students will be given a chance to think. On Other Hills The first graduates of a chemistry commerce course in the United States will receive their diploma; in June when the University of Wisconsin holds its commencement exercises. The course of study in the chemistry department is not only full-named courses taught in commerce, together with the baser and more appropriate chemistry courses. In addition the student is required to master a foreign language and is encouraged to study philosophy, history and other subjects. At present, 44 students enrolled in the course one of whom is a woman. Waiters in fraternity homes at Stanford University during the rushing season must not be freshmen, according to the ruling of the Stanford University Interfraternity council. The decision followed charges that college students who have been working in the houses a waiters to join the fraternity.
