SCREENS
Surprised speaks from the women students! A few muttered words from the men! Buzzing, whirling! So this in the quiet place where the young people of Kansas do their studying!
In these spring days, the bugs and insects are bound to wake up. That is only a biological fact. At night the electric light bugs swarm about any light which they can reach. And the lights in Watson Library are a berry hunting ground for them all—bite, little, and indifferent. It is all very well for the insects to have their fun, but it makes life a bit inconvenient for the student, when he is interrupted while cramming for an examination by a big hard-shell lighting on his neck.
There is only one way to get rid of the epiphilic insect collection we are acquiring in our library, and that it to put screens on the windows. The situation is bad enough for the students now going through the pre-examination turnuil, but by the time summer school starts, it will be almost unbeatable.
THE OLD FIGHT
Why can't screens be put on?
Telling students that they should have kept up their work throughout the semester and looking askance at eleventh hour cramming is like trying to put the baking powder in the cake after it has fallen. For these students who have neglected work during the year, the only alternative is real-hastime grinding.
One thing, however, students often forget in the turmoil of examination week, and that is the "old fight."
"I'm a mental, physical and spiritual wreck." "Each examination is worse than the last one." "I think I shall end it all in the Kaw."
These and other cheerful expressions make the air of Mt. Oread blue during examination week. It is all so unnecessary. Giving up has never yet been known to make a student. No one says that examinations are gay things to undergo. No one enjoys them. But how much better the atmosphere would be if students would cram for their quiz, take them, and then, instead of spending the lunch or dinner hour bewailing a possible foe, talk about things far away from the world of quiz books and flunks.
College students are usually known for the "old fight" with which they go into things, and for the abandon with which they love things. Why not make that reputation hold good from May 27 to June 27.
AIN'T NATURE GRAND?
This is a great country. There is no question about it. Not many places could melt the occupants and day and frozen them the next—not even any of the eternal abodes known to man.
One advantage of the eccentric weather is that in regard to no articles of the wardrobe shall father have spent in spain. Winter clothes are not to be relegated to summer storage. The far coat hanged side by side with the babing suit, and the wool freck robs against the sheerest volve. Here today, goneorrow! That is the law of the sun in the U. S. A.
The poet who first thought about writing odes to sunny America should
spend the late spring of 1925 in the land of the free and the home of the brave. But, cheer up! There is one consolation in all this weather. If variety is the spice of life, America will never be tasteless.
THE DOVE
Once more that liberal journal *c* campus opinion known as the Dove has come cut on Mr. Orend. In the campus opinion column of the Kankan today are two communications which call attention to a student criticism and a faculty criticise to the effect that the publication is "in defiance of the authorities." The Dove is not controlled by University authorities, but it is unfair to its staff and unfair to the purpose for which it was established to say that it is edited "in defiance of authorities."
It is independent of authorities. But that term "independent" refers to formal control, rather than to faculty interest. In fact, administrative officers have even held friendly conference with the editors, not at all as one would deal with defense, but purely as a recognition of a new force on the campus.
The value of the new publication is not to be judged by its relation to the authorities, but by what it is able to do with student opinion and student action. That value, of course, can not yet be determined. It is only false, however, that students should slightly understand the purpose of the publication.
TRASH
It is significant now that cities and schools throughout the country are cleaning up trash sites that a underrepresenting Chicago women have made the first movement in cleaning up trash which is not confined to any one city or to any one camp—literary hokum. The flood of low-income banks which has been filling the news stands in the United States for many years is a diagree to a country which makes claims to civilization. It also a diagree to colleges and universities which have taken out graduates who have tolerated the sale of such trash.
These women have done something which other citizens have not been brave enough or big enough to do. Abready, the nubile has been told the names of two magazines which have been denied the use of the mall. Exchorus girls and much-advanced women have not written at length upon their unwheale careers in order that the world may credit by their mistakes. They have written because a certain class of people have a morbid curiosity about anything smacking of the rique. Publishers, instead of trying to discourage such a tendency, have made capital from it. America is slow to discourage anything which has back of it a possibility of capital, and for many years, magazines of licentious and indecent characters have been flooding the market.
Now, however, a movement has been made to stop the publication of this trash. It was started by women and is being supported and carried through by a man. It deserves the support of every real American, and particularly of every college or university student.
More than fifty hours overdue, the prayers and hopes of the world with them, everlasting glory and a permanent place in the Hall of Fame if they succeed, yet a fifty-fifty chance with the grim reaper.
Only one insurance company in the world was willing even to consider taking a risk on the chances of the two plane used by Renaud Amundsen and Lincoln Ellsworth ever returning to Kings Bay, whence they tugged their noses northward nearly a week ago.
TRUE SCIENTISTS
How many scientists would take a fifty-fifty chance with death for the advancement of science?
And now some details/hound has discovered that poor old Longfellow made a mistake—that the Hospesus was never wreaked. At any rate, we take off our hats to Henry—he got away with a big story and it took the city editor 40 years to catch him up on it.
How many professed scientists would take such a chance for science?
Every college town has its stock of striped Fords. Horses and Lizards of all descriptions and possible speeds, are found parked in campus lawns and crannies. And those "burr" are royal dawhawkers. With the use of a little paint and decorative material "We'll Bent Mission," "Husk Nebraska's Carn," "Twist That Cow's Tail," and such elegans flaunt their message on every available piece of tin.
A CAMPUS BUG
The number of would-be cars increases as the year wears on, and they come out in the soring as surely as the grass and flowers. They spell college life as surely as brilliant knickers and extreme shingle haircuts.
An innovation in wrecks has been notified lately. Glaring signs of white paint greet you as you make your way from Feather to Ad. This is a "Crap Shooter's Special." According to its own story, it "shakes, Rattles and Rolls!" Another line declares that it is an "Exempler 8." Weedbury script has nothing on this one, for it's "The Tin You Love to Touch." But the most daring line is the one that reads, "We Paid $50,000 for This."
Men may live and die but Fords go on forever.
Campus Opinion
Editor Daily Kansan;
Were I on the editorial board of The Dove I should feel quite cheated over the recognition given that publication in a class recently. The professor of the class considered the publication so important that be deserved one-quarter of an entire lecture period, and there isn't but one book I will be writing to express his opinion of the "church of radicalools" who are as "delicious of recognition" that they write for such a paper. Of course, the professors' remarks were entirely denunciatory in nature, but that is no reason why I shouldn't feel proud. Certain types of denunciation, you know, serve fairly well, don't the thing being denounced?
In the course of his remarks the professor said that the Dove has "grant Bohbliv value," and that all its articles were "based on half knowledge" (and not on "manifestion") has its value at times, and as for the articles "based on half knowledge"—well, he didn't take time to point out any specific failure caused by lack of understanding. He wrote in "The Art of Knowing what he referred to." He incidentally in the course of the lecture that followed, this professor expressed opinions about some of our convoction speakers as well as our "sheet officers," get their names in the papers, and cause to function," that were remarkably parallel to similar opinions expressed in the Dove. In the Dove they were "whilstful." Out of the Dove—ob, that's right.
In closing his "nology" of the "Bebhikvik organ of half-habd epinion," the professor remarked that he had not read the last issue of the Dove, but had merely "glanced on it." He said he wonders how he could make such sweeping generalizations about its contents. I wonder, also, if in this glance 'his gaze happened to alight on an article which concerned a useless, "honorary" fraternity in which he has reason to be highly inter-connected. If so, I can understand, somewhat, his attitude toward the Dove.
D. A. W
The interesting part of the incident is that the student did not even attempt to give any reason why the Down should be suppressed except that it is not controlled nor in any way fostered by the faculty. Had genuine reason—of other reason—may genuine reason—of course he would have expressed it.
Last Friday the third appearance of that harmless campus journal, the Dove, caused a student to digress from class procedure to ask the professor why the "red sheet" was allowed to be "peded" unannounced. He has responded quite alarmed that there was no way to suppress it.
Editor, Daily Kansan:
This incident and others of a similar kind are indicative of an attitude on the campus that anything brought to school should be sorted by school authorities is not fit to exist, that it is a dangerous thing and should be eradicated. If such an idea continues to spread, students will have to consult a rule book be-

Kaune U. has a club composed of men that have never been kissed—Headline. Well now if all the other mirologynists get together and spend the summer in Grant City, eating rock candy and marble cake, wear tin-callers, wave corraned flings on July 4th and use a siphon for chewing tobacco, will all be hand budled enough to back up a valley oval football team in the autumn.
The future generation will have no use for will power initiative, and self-reliance; the authorities will map out his whole life for him. He will have to endure no more responsibility than a million dollars in G27. *L. c. 537*

Student: "I don't know much about any business."
Professor: "You are in a bad deal for a student taking this course. How did you get into the University?"

Panting New Life in Latin
A professor in the School of Education still persists in saying "caricature" during his lectures. Still worse, the University catalog commits the same blunder.
"He could not get rid of his cold," and the teacher dictating sentences for the students to translate, "Perhaps I had better any she," he added, as one of the girls in the class sneered violently.
