MOTHERS' DAY SIGHTSEE-ING
FRIDAY, MAY 1, 1925
Sunday in Mothers' day and scores of mothers will be arriving in Lawrence to visit their sons and daughters. For some it will be a first visit to the University, and they are expecting to stroll over the campus, lock things over, and make themselves familiar with the environment which is in a part of their children's every day existence. It is to be wondered just how successful their visit is to be in this respect.
Just how much of an idea of our daily life are our mothers going to be able to carry home with them? Sunday in auburned at our University. Even the buildings—the runways of our busy hours—wil no doubt, be locked and inaccessible for impetition. Pew are the impressions which may be gained by standing on the outside looking in. How much more interesting to wander through the halls, mother and daughter or mother and son, viewing class rooms together.
Surely all buildings should be left open this Sunday. The museum is not the only point of interest on the campus.
SLIDING FGR HOME BASE
Now that it is time for Maying, classes are hard to attend, hard because there are so many other things that one wants to do—those long strolls through the pines and across the wind-west hillsides, enjoying the gorgeous colors of spring, the swish of water as a paddle lazily forces a dance through the dark still waters, the evening with its lengthening shadows, the rustling murmur of breezes among the new green leaves, and the joy of a beautiful sunset painted with all the cunning of nature in her spring artistry.
Birds with their cheery songs call you to the field. Even the rain, although not always enjoyable, is not disagreeable as it is in the autumn. It is enticing now because of the new varieties in colors and styles of rain cates that may be seen as students hurry across the campus.
Seniors are especially noticed doing a little sliding, that is they are shaking a little in their school work, taking more time for the fun of things, just so they don't fall too far in their classes. After all it is the close of the years sport in college. One feels that so long as the requirements are fulfilled he may enjoy the glory of it. The senior has run his race, has already written the greater part of his college course, and so he slides for the finish plate. It's lots of fun to slide, but the toboggan sometimes gets out of control.
Headline: Lack of information is cause of failure, says Professor Sterberg. Shuck! We found that out the first quizz we ever flunked.
KANSAS' GAS TAX
From today on Kansas will be among those states which has a gasoline tax to be spent for the construction and maintenance of roads.
It is estimated that the two cents a gallon tax, which went into effect at midnight last night, will yield about four million dollars annually. Forty per cent of this will be divided among the 105 counties, the remaining 60
per cent will be apportioned among the counties according to their assessed valuation.
This step by the people of Kansas tends to emphasize the importance placed on good roads during this age of the automobile and in turn makes us realize the rapid progress of civilization. With such a tax as this Kansas should soon be "out of the mud" and on be on hard surface roads. And with good roads Kansas will be visited every year by thousands of tourists. Kansas will be more conspicuous "place on the man." The people of Kansas should be
The people of Karnak should be commenced for their latest step to cope with our ever progressive civilization.

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE UNIVERSITY GOLF COURSE?
The old maps of the University showed the location of a golf course on the campus, but none of those who are in school now remember ever seethe course. It is too bad that there is no provision for the playing of the game here at the University. Those students who desire to play are forced to make use of the Lawrence Country Club which is inconveniently located from the student's point of view, or else go without play.
Golf is one of the most popular games that are played today. The poor player can get as much enjoyment out of it as the good one. It is safe to say that there are as many golf players at the University as followers of any other sport, and yet there is no provision for them.
The athletic department is to be complimented on the good work that it did last year in preparing additional space for athletic fields, for the laying out of more baseball diamonds and the maintenance of good tennis courts. The next step that we recommend is the establishment of an ill-University golf course.

The article in "The Dove" entitled *Gold Bricks* made no attempt to inform the attorney that merely denounced the method used in securing subscriptions. J. S. says that the attack is unfounded, but anyone familiar with the facts concerning the campaign can verify that the emotional appeal was effective. If so, students approve of that method, it is their privilege, but disapproval surely is not sufficient ground upon which to charge any with disloyalty. In effect, J. S. has said that if the cause is a noble one, such approval of securing funds is justifiable.

This column of Thursday's Kansan was devoted to a denunciation of the so-called attack on the stadium-union fund which appeared in "The Dove." J. S. has written criticism with such verbiage as "not only the stadium, and yet with a complete misunderstanding of the article in question that some explanation of

Th2 Kansan news desk is crammed
L. G.
The department of Journalism publishes a newspaper,—supposedly. This publication has been called, certainly for some reason, only a publicity book. Even though they maintain that it is theoretically a newspaper, many students and members of the faculty assume, in their research, that it should not distribute any publicly they have to put out. All they seen to be affected by an insatiable publicity complex. If any movement on the campus fell, it did not get enough praises through the Kanan news columns. If certain offenders are criticized as so their effervescency, they may always fall back on the fact that the Kanan news column is sufficiently. If a student's affair turns in the hole, the Kanan did notent them square.
The Snow Zoology Club will hold its annual banquet May 2 at Broadview Inn. Members are asked to meet in front of Snow hall at 7:00, and all go in the hubs. Tickets may be from Lillian Phelps.

LECTURE ON INDIAN MUSIC:
Pref. C. S. Skilton will lecture on Indian music to the class in Social Evolution and Culture, at 4:30 Monday, May 4, in the auditorium of the Administration building. Persons interested, whether belonging to the class or not, are invited to attend.

If anyone finds anything in the article which would indicate such an alleged lack of feeding that "the sarcause of life during the war becomes a matter to dismiss with a superficial joking attitude," he is justified in a most venomous denunciation. The "joking attitude" is clear with reference to the commercialisation of the "supreme sacrifice" appeal which has been used, not only on this campus, but all other campuses, and the name for memorial projects of every sort. As soon as the money is raised the memorial aspect is neglected except for oculus perforatory mention.
with "stuff" which would do credit to the manager of a political campaign. When a news story of a terrorist attack comes up, the manager refuse to let anything get out but material for advertising, they will not tell what is really news. "This will be the bizarre green," as the rist of their "news."
They do not stop with this. They say, "We will not give you any more news until that story is published." Imagine them telling the editor of the Kansas City Star that! Do they suppose he would listen to them? Then why try to pull such a stunt on the Kansas? Not only do they try to dictate to the journalism students what is news and how important it is, but they try to tell them where and when to print it to the public in a prominent place on the front page," is a continual request for a bit of publicity which deserves a prominent place in the waste basket.
People who would not think of trying to dictate to any other newspaper, and who would not get very far if they did, seem to think that because the Kansan is a University publication, it is run for the specific purpose of sending students to a university or every campus organization. Why cannot they consider it in the same light as any other paper, and help raise its standards?

Music lovers with long memories agree that the Lawrence Choral Union's presentation of Verdil's "Requiem" in Robinson gymnastics last night was the greatest musical treat ever. The band must deal in superlatives to describe it—and superlatives seem inadequate.
The muses, composed by Verdi to commemorate the death of his poet-friend, Manzoni, is in itself perhaps the most beautiful reenunciation the world has seen. His direction of Dean Swarhtout, its full magnificence of total beauty was realized. The epic swan of the accompaniment by the University symphony orchestra, the violas, the violins, and the accurate response, the precision of attack, the shading and tonal coloring of the chorus, combined to make the
presentation superb
The second part, "Dies Irae," was supreme in technical skill and interpretation. The majestic solenity of its slow, chant-like phrases and brilliance of its invocation cannot be described. The voice of the musicians, in orchestral backs ground, to rise and swell and merge into the accompaniment.
The entire mass was in Latin, but one forget it in the forceful interpretation of the singers. All the pump and pageantry, all the awe and supplication of a ceremony of the masses were revived in the presentation.
The four sobrists who came from Chicago to assist in the mass were Mine. Ellen Harthan-Arund, soprano; Miss Mina Hsiao, contraband; Mr. Hunter Gould, bass. They imparted a professional atmosphere and an artistic finish to the production. But it is to Dean Swearthout that the highest praise should be given to him for direction, and his efforts toward making annual productions by the Lawrence Choral Union traditionary.
