SNOW CHECKS
With the Men's Student Council and the Women's Self Government Association investigating the "noose" check situation among University students, the movement seems to be gaining sufficient momentum to accomplish some good. Merchants are reluctant to bring charges against violators, but the local clearing house is determined to stamp out this obstinate practice which is increasing from year to year. Some may doubt the sincerity of the governing bodies, and others may doubt whether any one will ever be brought to justice.
We trust that the governing bable will never have to handle a single case—which is doubtful, as student are able to realize the harm and in convenience caused by writing loss checks. The problem has been come a "full grown" one, and justifies the consideration of every person in Lawrence. The practice must be eliminated. It cannot be stopped by education or by an appeal to the beauty of the violators, then some one must pay the penalty. Probably some minor offender will be the one who gets the punishment, rather than some of the more flagrant offenders. Some people try to justify their actions by saying that they thought they had the money on deposit, or club they needed the money. These statements are mere defense mechanisms set up by minds that are trying to hide weakness of character and will power to resist temptation. Students are not the only guilty parties at townpeople and faculty members are also included on the blacklist.
A fraternity brother, roommate, chlimate or friend, may be the first to be caught in the mosh of the law's net if this practice continues. Yet Who can say that they are not forewarned? Surely University students can display their intelligence and honor at a time such as this and save judicial relief. Let's get away from snow check writing, and show Lawrence bankers and merchants that we do appreciate the accommodation they extend to us in the matter of cashing checks.
With the advent of the radio picture for home entertainment the American home may yet come into its own and hold its place as the fundamental human institution.
"THE COURT OF BOYVILLE"
Last Friday and Saturday nights Charleston contests were staged at the Bowery theater. In both the Friday evening competition, which was limited to white people, and the Saturday content, which was limited to negroes, first place prizes were won by youngsters wearing boyhood's latest fat, longies.
No doubt these youngsters were very cute and executed a terrific Charleston, but neither of them wan in a class with most of their older brother contortionists. Yet the crowd awarded them each a first place prize in their respective competitions. Now this is distinctly unfair; unfair to those who should have won first place on their abilities, and also unfair to the youngsters themselves because it is such things

PROFESSOR, HOW COULD YOU?
"I don't want to discourage you," one student remarked to another this warning, "but it is unless to work so hard in that job." Professor Blank never gives "Ars." for the first semester's work taken under him. Investigation substantiated the report. This professor is super-concentrated in the amount of personal attention and individual criticism he gives; his remarks on papers are lengthy, constructive, and thoughtful. But he has the queer habit of consistently giving higher grades for the second semester's work, even when the standard does not change.
This element of acquaintance between professor and student frequently functions quite actively on our campus. No student can go through even two years of college without being impressed with the fact that once his work is recognized as being of marked quality, either high or low, there is a competence transfer of schematic reputation not only from course to course, but from professor to professor. Indeed, appl斋man habitually advise freshmen to make good grades the first two years so they can take it easy the last two and get through on their reputations. It falls within the experience of every student at some time or another to feel recounted for a grade which is lower than he feels her merits, and conversely, to find himself a trifle conscience-stricken upon receiving a high mark for dilatory work from a professor under whom he previously made a commendable record.
It is entirely human to form an opinion of a person's ability, and then unconsequently to regard it as an unwary, permanent sort of thing. Professors are expected to be human, and it is impossible to criticise them justly for being influenced in subsequent courses by previous records. The grading system, however, can be severely indicted for this evil. Until the personality element is removed from the method of scoring, grades will be no more a criterion of work done in courses than they are of scholastic ability.
THESE NOMADIC EMPIR- ICISTS
Prohibition enforcement is never still.
From all parts of the country come indications that college students are disaffected with collegiate life. That they are ever seeking new formulas for their existence is evident; that they are finding undisputed solutions to their problems is debatable. At any rate, it is clear that there is a constant lure to the unknown and the untried—a desire to wander and experiment.
Only 10 More Days to Shop Before Vacation
Time Waits for No Man
The most constructive and notable example of the urge is exemplified in the Dartmouth Report made by 12 seniors on undergraduate education. The report came as a result of rational and intelligent criticism of

teaching methods. In other words it was born of rebellion and discontent with existing circumstances.
In a singly stinted仪性 manner the Harvard Crimson debunks the college catalog, and evaluates it from the student's personal point of view.
At Amherst college, a consensus of opinion shows that students resent the era of gigantism—of larger and larger enrollments. At the College of the City of New York, students have rebelled against compulsory military training and have petitioned the administration for its removal.
In other places the treason of the undergraduates has been invoked by restrictions levied by the administration.
At Trinity College a student was suspended because he openly criticised the dean's policy "to disregard the individual and turn out a Trinity type." Out at the University of California, the Occident was suppressed because it criticized the university's policy of gigantism and compulsory R. O. T. C. At the same school a debate "Resolved, that the family is an unnecessary element in the progress of *v. elitism*” was canceled because the president considered that it was without the bounds of academic freedom.
Other instances are too numerous to mention. Some critics claim that radicalism and Holocaust are undermining the conventions and beliefs of the student population. Others claim that such disturbances are synchronous with growing youth. The latter is probably neater the truth. Out of rebellion, comes consideration, which in turn bears the fruit of constructive action and progress.

A page from a Gutenberg Bible, which is 475 years old is one of the most treasured articles of the University Library Press of the University of Indiana. The original Bibl contained 64 pages. In 1911 a cup of the Bible sold for $30,000.
A new four-year course of study leading to the degree of bachelor of science in public utilities administration will be offered by the University of Oklahoma for the first time next semester. The course was requested by a committee and will not take up the technical side of utilities, but will be similar to the regular course in business administration.
The D, M, C, a secret organization at the University of Oklahoma, is charged with the inning of a student. President Bizzell disappears from school and is presumed murdered that dramatic steps might be taken to remove it from the campus.
A bargain dance is planned by the W. S. G. A. of the University of Indiana. Only $14.99 will be charged for admission and the women will be allowed to dance in the perforated for dates. The舞会 will be formal for women, but informal for men.

One of the features of the Dad's day celebration at Northwestern University was a scrap on the football field between halves. At the half all dad's were called onto the field, and the team got down so soon the dad's were scrapping as fiercely as the varsity team had been a few minutes before.

Son asked for a sweater
And blue was his pick;
No sweaters were left,
What he got made him
sick.
Pa wanted an overcoat.
Ma bought him a vest;
The coats were all gone.
So she got the wet best.
