Ford proposed to melt the steel ships of the United States shipping board feet into Fords. How are the mighty fallen?
"Patter lake," the name heard a hundred times a day now that old Sal has decided to warm things up and make decent weather for taking a plunge in some out of deep pool. To go swimming is in the blood of all people—especially those who are young and have a great deist of surplus energy. Remember the "dole Swimmin' hole" the last feiler in? Well, we haven't quite grown out of that idea yet.
"THE OLE' SWIMMIN' HOLE'
"Potter lake" is the only "swimmin' hole" that is available for this great family of students who must swim. It is a small and a much used place. In fact too many people use it for the good of all. There is no outlet for the water and there is no fresh water coming in. Day after day the water is used. Day after day students learn in the so-called "take".
And anyone knows who has dived to the bottom of the lake that the substance in the bottom is the blackest and most sticky mud that was ever encountered by land or water. All of the grine and dirt settle there. The grine and dirt that must come from the repeated and continuous "stirring up" that goes on every day.
Isn't it about time to have a change of water or lish it at night to ask people not to swim in a place that may be called a community bath tub—even though there is "no soap used?" If the "ole' swimmin' hole" is not big enough, nor clean enough for the moth that wants to go swimming there, it may be a good plan to close Potter lake to the use of anyone except the robins, thrushes, and other birds who have made their homes in the trees near by.
Something's wrong: How come a man can be a charter member of the new fraternity of self-supporting men and in the same issue in which this fact is announced, be quoted by the Inquiring Reporter as coming to school because he gets his expenses paid?
BOOST COMMENCEMENT
For the first time in the history of the University of Kansas, the commencement exercises will be held in the evening. The gymnasium is not large enough to accommodate the crowd, and the exercises, as last year will be given in the Memorial Stadium if the weather permits.
According to a recent University newsletter, the line will form and move down the north slope of the Hill, and the line of caps and gowns will stretch from the top of Mount Owen down to the Stadium. Many students will no doubt want to stay over Monday to see the affair this year.
Straton Duthb Brooks, president of the University of Missouri, will be the principal speaker at the exercises, and Dean Shailer Mathew, head of the Divinity School, University of Chicago, will deliver the baccalaureate sermon in the Stadium Sunday evening. Fred M. Harris, 198, will give the alumni address.
And the "old timers" will be back!
The special reunions which are planned for this year include the classes
of 1878-1879-1880-1881; classes of 1878-1879-1890 and 1900; classes of 1916-1917-1918-1919. The class of 1925 will hold its 50 year reunion and the class of 1900 will celebrate its 23rd anniversary of graduation.
You who have never seen a K. D.
commencement, plan to stay this year
and help make the 62nd annual
commencement the big event of the
school year.
TIDE
"There is a tide in the affairs of men which taken at it so flood lead to it" fortune." Our tide of opportunity pauses and the remainder of life is lost in the shoals of mediciarity. July the man who sees and knows the tide sweeps into the great ocean if life. To him the deep eddies, the hanging currents, the strife of climate forces are mine.
Four years in a University is but a current of the great stream of humanity called life. There are those who are able to use and appreciate the great truths, the great opportunities, and the immediate use of time to take advantage of the prespecies and publicity. We are led to wonder whether college is for the development of the perpetual military refitting job;叉acre by which most of our force ourselves through life. It would seem that to all latest and purpose a University education now depends on being recognised, being fated, being bowed down to. To have achieved this we have cannot cure tide at its crest, we have canned into the deep, and we are therefore very confident that we are prepared.
FOOLISH LEGISLATION
FOOLISH REGISTRATION Tennessee has legislated the teaching of evolution from her students and Universities. Thus she hopes to "protect" her youth against harmful doctrines. The coexist in practice, not to any indicative of inadequate mental power.
In the first place when a thing is banned the population immediately develops a desire for it. So will the people of Tennessee; the study of science will be more popular than ever before. In the second place this is the modern version of an effort to beginate against scientific fact that has been going on for centuries. Reactionaries tried to legislate away the fact that the world was round, but now we believe it and are none the wonders for it; a great scientist was cast into prison because he claimed that the earth was not the center of the universe; we are hardly that conceived new. Christianity met with persecution from the Roman low-mawers; it seemed to thrive on it.
Whether or not the lawmakers of Tennessee are typical of its inhabitants we cannot be sure, but these august applicants suggest to the enlightened people of the country a spectacle of flouish points battling their stubborn heads against a stone wall while the by-standers make wagers on the time their heads can hold out against the solid rock.
Campus Opinion
Six bit varieties. It sounds all well and good and democratic. The methods used in disposing of the surplus "Varality" funds by "reducing the rates," and so by giving the patronage the benefit of profit, are surely good in principle at least, but the results are little to be on peaking. The question is whether the pocket books of many, but the spirit of the occasion is surely altered. If its price that keeps many from our varities, why not make the charges five cents or n a dime a舞, for the benefit of those who cannot get a dollar's worth of enjoyment out of an evening's social activities. Why should boarding club clubs or street activities?
Now if the variety manager, like most government officials, are confronted with the difficult task of spreading some surplus coin, why not make it a little better instead of a little cheaper? Here are a few suggestions: The decorations, although at present good, could be a little better, a few favors, one to the first person, some programs, not to be used unless the receiver has a memory hook) wouldn't hurt; some paper buzzer, cuttetti, curbars and toy bumps help the drag along a little bit more, and bad and then if there is any coin left, a few sandwiches would help to

The honors convention Wednesday was held to honor those students who have made high scholastic records—supposedly. Those individuals whose grades put them into the high school press were especially invited to attend.
The Kaucan:
One would suppose that these honored students would be an intelligent group, certainly it would seem so. It
would seem also that the appropriate program for such an honor conversation would include a speaker who had a great way on a worth while subject.
Instead, what did we have? A speech of the spread-league July 4th type, on a political subject. The speaker's reasoning was as full of holes as a cheese. Pretty analogies and funny stories were used, but there was a noticeable lack of any facts to re-enforce the points.
This letter of course does not attempt to refute the speaker. But a bunk speech for honor students—raspberrys.
One of the Honored.

The problem of luggage is one that should soon be on the mind of every student. What are you going to do with all the additional articles of clothing and various other things which you have accumulated since coming to school last fall? Will your trunk hold them all? How about that suitcase or bug? Will it stand the trip home? Can you get your spring hats in the trunk without crushing them? A hat bag would solve this problem. Better check up on the luggage problem and then come in and see our complete line of trunks, wardrobe dress or seamers; handgages, suitcases, week-end bags and hat bags. The most complete line of fine luggage in town.
