WHAT IS COLLEGE LIFE?
Too many students enter college with a misconception of college life, which is due for the most part to the fact that while in their high school days they hear glowing reports of athletics, fraternity life, and varieties, they selliam bear of class work, and what can be learned by hard study. The impression given to high school students by university men and women seems to be almost always of frivolousness. It has even been suggested that students of the department of journalism entertain the visiting high school journalists, who will visit here shortly, with a tea dance. isn't that a splendid way to impress those high school students with the value of a college education?
When the new student comes to the Hill, to often the determining of his course is a secondary matter to him and attending classes a drudge. But neglect of real class room work is often an attitude of the upperclassman also. Even after years of attendance he often does not realize that the class room is the center of college life. Extra-curricular activities occupy him time and even though he eventually secures a degree it is too often a meaningless thing.
But often the man who wholly devoted to social activities is not gradual, and finally goes marching home to excuse himself as physically disabled, and to be excused by his parents, and to be commended by the home folks for his valiant effort to secure an education.
Some assume that the wrong type of men are coming to college, but too often they become the wrong type by the influences we exert on them while getting adjusted to a new life.
Speaking of contours for the party tonight, one student intends to put a spoon in his mouth and go disguised as a bowl of soup.
TRUE-FALSE EXAMINATIONS
Students almost invariably hall with delight the announcement of an instructor that their next examination is to be of the famous "true and false" type. That dread which prefaces so many tests is lifted from their minds and they often decide that the evening which was to have been spent in careful review may be devoted to more pleasing pursuits. They know that much less preparation is necessary to successfully pass this type of examination.
Too many instructors are given to using the "true-false" test as a measure to gauge the extent of their pupils' knowledge. Without a doubt it is far easier to grade papers of this kind, that the test is more enjoyable for students and teachers alike and renders a highly objective method of judging the knowledge of the former. Yet it is in the end but a test of recognition, not one of detailed knowledge.
There are certain individuals whose minds are no constituted that they can determine without any great mental effort whether or not a question is right or wrong. But these same persons are utterly incapable of writing an examination of the essay variety which requires the ability to organize and handle in a logical manner the information that they are expected to possess. For such persons the shorter examination is no real

Besides, there is always the alternative of guessing at the answer, of standing a "fity-fity" chance of guessing correctly. And, although we are supposedly on our honor at Kansas, yet it is undoubtedly true that it is easier to observe whether or not the one beside us puts down a plus or a minus sign than it is to absorb in one glance the content of several paragraphs of writing.
In fact, the student finds that he must exert strict self-control if he is to keep his eyes continually on his own paper when a test of the former type
And it is unfair to those who are able to organize and see the relationship between the various elements of the course to subject them to a measure of this sort.

CARRAMBA
E. GALLOO, chairman.
The Mexicans are a big-hatted people; and generous to the extreme. If you don't believe it, ask Jack Dempsey. If any Mexicans want to Shelby, Motta, several years ago, they paid quite a sum in pence to see Jack in action. But not so the hospitable Mexicans when he came to see them. When Jack entered the City of Mexico last Monday evening, he was entertained by fights on all sides. We must hand it to the Mexicans. Did they stop with a few preliminaries? Santa Martin, not! They put on a teamwind with the police and ended the show with a series of feature hosts consisting of the crowd vs. the army. And they didn't use five-ounce gloves either. No, not the citizens of the City of Mexico. They put on a really and truly celebration. Coltene tamalay! Benjamel and clubs were the order of the evening, not a set of measles-five ounce gloves.
Now some time in the future, Jack will engage against a battle for a title. It may be the night after the last train leaves for New York. But anyway if Jack can remember back as far as the time he went to Mexico and if he is really a generous hearted man, he will ship a car load of free passes to the citizens of the City of Mexico, who entertained 'him so royally.
Extra-Curricular
Many who are in a position to know say that the aim of a university training is to give the student a broad look on life; or, in other words, to stimulate him into a state of mind wherein he can more clearly see the different phases of life and their inter-relation.
This is no abstraction. It is vital. A university alumna to acquaint the student with several lines of thought and action, in the hope that by thus understanding it, she will be the student may better be able to choose his life work, his ideals, and his place in the community. The real worth of extra-curricular activities therefore lies in their capacity to co-operate in practice with classroom theory.
is not only waiting the time of the pledges by diverting their time to work not suited to them, but is bending those activities with men who are practically useless to that activity. And no wonder. A new man must be given the opportunity of feeling his way slowly into college life. If he is rushed into a lot of activities at the start, he loses the perspective a college education is supposed to give, and lives away at home — badly. North star, storm.
