MOTHER'S WARNING UNHEEDED
The death of the child who was run over by students was not the result of carelessness on the part of the driver. The mother's warning was not heeded and the child dashed into the stream of traffic. The driver had no warning of his coming, no time to stop even though the car was moving very slowly.
The child disobeyed. Modern theory doesn't seem much in favor of stern teaching of obedience to children. It is an age of freedom. But there are, after all, times when obedience is the only safeguard against danger.
UNIVERSITY "UGLIES"
Perhaps the elater of associations that have been formed around every part of the campus makes it the most beautiful to departing seniors.
Numerous and varied are the plains of the newspapers of our neighbor metropolis against the hordes of billboards that are eyesores to citizens with a sufficient appreciation of beauty or the lack of it to object to them as a public nuisance, regardless of their possible utility as advertising mediums.
It is time for the Kansan to join the chorus, to how a little about the particular class of "ughee" that are becoming ever more numerous on the campus—the var-colored spasms that are percepted for the purpose of advertising the "red hot" and "burin' down" hops that this or that group preaches as a duty to the students and humanity in general.
No one would go so far as to deny that these fantastic designs serve their intended purpose well—attracting attention to the particular function they represent. But like billboards, their small utility is not enough to compensate for the jarring note they inject into the surrounding beauty of the campus, particularly after spring rains have made the posters even more ghastly than they originally appeared.
If such functions must be advertised with posters, a bulletin board is supplied which will serve the purpose as effectively as the monotritones placed premiscuously about the campus, and a great deal more pleasingly.
Betty says she is beginning to doubt the value of advertising. "Why, look at the post office," she says, "I never did see a Parcel Post ad and yet look at the business they get."
BABBITT
Babbitt hasn't been in class on time all year up to now. You see Dabbbitt this morning? Oh yes, he was here walking along as fast as he could. The 8:20 whistle had bounced and he was hurrying to class. You see the school year is coming to a close. It is absolutely necessary to be in class on time every day now, as an impression is the important thing with a professor when he writes on the dotted line.
Sinclair did not visualize his braun-child travel in two threes, fivees and scores toward chair-dified class rooms with unwonted end-of-the-term punctuality. He did not visualize Babbit brushing his patent leather hair back, rubbing in the "sweet-simile," "seacather rose," or "gloce." He saw only the hen-pecked husband
who always wanted to be one of the rah-rah boys.
Now tat Babbitb has graduated into a rash of the first rash is it little wonder that the hue and cry of a nation is that its students are more traveling mannish, each following the ether and so nearly like the other that if the two were to meet each other neither would know whether he was himself or his brother? It is fine to be able to prove by inspection that the blood runs green in your veins, but a head of green-veined Babbitb will never turn the world up side down.
Try being yourself once, Rabbit,
You are paying for a chance to be
yourself. You can't be the other fellow,
and being yourself is more worth
whole anyway.
--hind, the chances are that speeding would now be a thing of the past in Mount Oread.
Followers of the Straight and Narrow must be numerous on the campus, judging by the number of paths verses on the grass.
THE STADIUM TOWERS
A big building program is ahead for K. U. With an auditorium being built by state funds, a union building by popular subscription and an addition to the stadium by a loan arrangement the University will be better fitted to care for its guests. Everyone admits that there has been a crying need for the auditorium; the Union will fill a long-felt want; but only those connected with the athletic department know how desperate is the need for the towers on the stadium. The Kansas Relays have been held for three years under discouraging conditions—with a make-shift* dressing quarters or tents for the visitors. When a football team comes to Kansas the best we had to offer them was a heatless, lightly, shervous dressing room hastily constructed of odd-length boards on the grave under the stadium. But we have strung gamely on. The relays are firmly established, our football classes have been well attended so that the stadium has proved itself to be a necessary.
It is only fitting that with a need for dressing quarters and the demand for more ceiling capacity for the big events that the towers should be built. Those who have the project in charge are to be commenced on their vision and enterprise. It is also worth noting that this improvement will not call for a n cent of state money nor in any way curtail the construction of the Union building. Athletic demands have outgrown the present equipment and the Athletic Association is meeting the need in a business-like manner.
Miss Greta Green says that Tonyson's words are: "The tide that moving seems asleep" and "There shall be no mooning of the bar" describe the laws.
SLIGHT IMPROVEMENT
At some time or other in the future, unless speeders are definitely and finally banned from the campus, and object lessons are made of some of them, a pedestrian is going to pay the price of their folly. When that happens there will probably be such a storm of comment and indignation that the old time proposition to bar cars from the campus will again be brought up and will have a good chance of adoption.
During the past few weeks there has been a noticeable improvement in manner of driving on the part of our crescently speeders of the campus, but there is still room for betterment in that direction. Less frequently now do the speeders travel across the campus recklessly and without regard for life and safety but there are still a few who believe they have the divine right of motorists to drive as they see fit and to disregard the rights of those who are forced to rely upon their feet to carry them from place to place.
The Student Council made a good, if rather weak and gentle, start towards the work which has to be done in this direction same time ago, but the matter was dropped as soon as two offenders, who were no worse than a number of others, had been reprimanded and given due publicity. The Student Council should have kept up the good work and demonstrated that it was behind enforcement of the law in all cases. If it
The streets of the campus should not be practice grounds for dodging and broken-field running. If the speakers themselves won't see the light and the Student Council, which has the government and disciplinary powers of the student body in hand, won't take action to eliminate this nuisance and danger from our midst, it is up to the administrative authorities to deal with it in a manner that will leave no possibility for repetition of the first offense.

Power, range, and emotional depth were the advenient characteristics of Mia Barner's singing. She was best in "My Heart Is Weary." from Nadechida by Goring-Thomas and the two Italian numbers, "Love Me and Iangi dal cure bene" from Neve McCoy and "with various numbers and a genuineness of interpretation characterized most of her selections.
Mr. Fanley demonstrated a voice of good conor quality. Brilliance might be captured by the registrers might be compared to his test results, although accuracy and preci-

of delivery gave his selections a technical finish. Masseneet's aria from "Le Col," "O Souterain, o jure travail," and "Le Jardin" set work. A favorite with the audience was "Sprit Flower" by Campbell-Tipton.
From the duet groups, Tosti-Stoekik's "Venetian Song" was most blessing. The two voices blended with a distinct emotional appeal.
Question asked: "Why did you come to college?"
Stakey Pennell—"Came because I thought it would be a kind of division." Didn't know where else to go."

Grace Young—"Came to meet people."
Ruth Richarda—“Why —I don't know—for culture, I guess.” Warren Griffith—“To get an education.”
Winegar Croze-"Mama said would be good for me."
Edgar Schowalter—"Came because I found out that I couldn't get along very well working."
loyd McComb—“When I first came, I came with the idea of fitting my in order to make money; after I have been here, though these few years I have decided the purpose of my work of thinking so that I may be more sympathetic with my fellow man.”
Jia Yife- "So I could make money,
and so I could have the _social_
prestige that a college education
gives.
Carl Coffelt —"Came to learn how to make a million. I'll probably end by being broke."
Jackie Sice—Heavens, I don't know. Wish someone would tell me.

A University student who works in a barber shop down town went to take the barber's examination. The question was asked why her father should be put on a man's face before he was shaved, "i do that so that the beards won't fly up and hit me in the eye." (He misunderstood.)
