PHONES Editorial department K. U. 20 Business department K. U. 68 WEDNESDAY, MAY 13, 1925 OUR JAYHAWKER From the dedication to our beloved Doctor Naismith, to the little checkered figure marked "finish," the pages of the Jayhawk were of interest to us. Intimate memories of the school year indeed! The rich color sections, the "Familiar Faces" pages, the "Who's Who" divisions—touches of originality here and there. These things and other sections so familiar to every student, comprise a bookshop of memories which are precious. A line stretching halfway down west. West Administration building Monday meant that the books were at last ready for distribution. On steps and window ledges everywhere, during the most of the afternoon were people pering over a blue backed book with a proud Jayhawker bird on its cover. The only schools in the valley which sold more nurmals than K. U. were Missouri and Nebraska, both of which have larger enrollments than the University. The largest number of nurmals ever sold here, 2250, were ordered this year. This is explainable to some extent in the fact that 400 were given to the high schools over the state. The stuff as a whole deserves commendation for its work. It embodies in printed and illustrated pages our college life and our campus. THE SAME PATTERN What neglected Dad has the courage to start a National Dad's day, now that the mothers and the boys are being taken care of? The pattern tells how to talk, think, and dress, in order to be one of the crowd. The man who forges ahead is he who has the courage of his convictions and original ideas, and by silly customs we discourage any deviation from the general pattern drawn up for college life. Fads in thought, in talk, and in dress. We follow the herd instinct and become followers instead of leaders. In various ways we are made to realize an graduates, that the college model may not be complete in itself, but how much time would be saved if we could realize it before. Bright colored raincoats are now the fad in dress for rainy days. Therefore everyone wears one. Nothing that is not the accepted pattern is seen. In some months past, red ties were "all the go." Your boy friend found it necessary to buy one. Am so on with everything. It is more collegiate to grumble about courses than to think of $ \mathcal{I} $ discussing them intelligently. Even in the business world, one might say, "One must dance be "in the swan." The pattern spells improvement for some, but its very monotony means that education is not doing its part. We will unconsciously, perhaps, help to make the patterns later on. Our college training is to help us to fulfill a purpose. We have none if we have no individuality. MAN'S PROGRESS Some individual in years past tried of carrying his burdens on his back, or walking so much, discovered the wheel which crudely as it first was enabled him to make a little progress and cover a little more of the adjacent territory. The wheel was improved an were the vehicles which used it. First the cart, then the chariot, later on the stage coach, the prairie cochon, and the locomotive all using wheels. So by these devices man was able to overcome space and time to a certain extent. With their aid our ancestors migrated to all corners of the world where possible. Then they used boats. But most of the regions of the earth have been discovered by man, who transported himself or his goods on wheeled vehicles.

But certain barriers were presented, such as jigs in the Artic, mountain barriers and cliffs, jungles and swamps in the tropics. Man had to use his own footsteps, or boats, dogs, and the horse to help his progress. But then other barriers such as lack of water or savage tides hindered him. So exploration for a time stopped. But in late years man has taken to the air, first with crude attempts and later with success as the airplane was developed. They have spawned a continent in one day and flown over half of Europe and the Atlantic ocean and to the nations capital in less than a week. Now Amundsen is attempting to fly over the North Pole. If this is the situation, let that person be elected to rule who can display the most prowess and decorations. Let every one look while he l He hopes to be able to accomplish in a few days what formerly took months and years. He will be able to overcome some of the difficulties encountered on land, and will give us some knowledge of the other side. In certain parts of South America are territories as big as the state of Texas, in which man has never set foot. Northwest Australia, "The Never, Never Land" has been held from exploration on account of the savene natives and the lack of water. But can these far places hold the airship back? In time airmen will fly over and map them and later leave parties of explorers in various places and bring them supplies and keep them in contact with the world. Thus they will become known. Man has not been discouraged. He has always found a way. But after the earth, what then? IDOL WORSHIPERS We are slowly realizing that democracy is not a perfect form of government or adaptable to all peoples. Are we to also discover that peoples do not want to be independent? If Germany, a supposedly highly civilized country, must worship a greatly bideded hero and England everbow a crossguardered knee to her king while all America reads daily volumes of news about the Prince of Wales, surely there must be some veracity in the statement that all civilized peoples are still idol worshippers. Are civilized peoples not civilized beyond the idol worship stage? A prominent woman politician from Germany, who is attending an International Council of Women of the World in this country, said that the election of Hindenburg would prove a salvation to Germany because the German people worshiped him and they had to have some one to worship. Liberty, democracy, freedom, and individual rights for which the common people have been struggling since the serfdom of the 16th century, are they like the toy that the child wants only when he hasn't it? my know of care not where. If he is benevolent, he will rule well; if he is not—what does it matter as long as he is a wonderful idol? walks over the people to lead them they know or care not where. Editor Daily Kanean Campus Opinion A, B or C. what difference does it make? A a few weeks ago considerable comment was made on the present system of grading, and numerous examples are given of the approach of spring finals the subject becomes even more interesting. To the educated student of today who measures his knowledge in practice and not in figures, what difference would have been made so long as he covers the required scope of the course satisfactorily? All students' capacities to absorb the same materials, are not equal, so why should the student be assigned the rating students from their display of memory or otherwise, within the last few days, so long as their work has been earned and their knowledge of the subject seems sufficient to receive the grade system, satisfactory and unsatisfactory, drawing the flunk line between the two, with the repetition of the course in case of the latter. This course would be especially applicable to history and other such courses. --the J. E. F.

Another went with four companions into another place and ordered a strawberry sundae. When it was brought to him it was so small that he was forced to adjust his glasses in order to find it.
