From the comment on our campus publication of liberal opinion it certainly is not a "peace Dove."
After much study of foot notes the Hill philosopher decided that Ibid should be ranked as our greatest authority.
C'MON SKINNY!
Yesterday was Boyz' Day in Lawrence. Youngsters shaded slanted shot, scout scotch, and float from, tried their hands' at the tasks of administrating the government and the business of the city.
It was a gain day for the boys, and not so bad for the town. It is encouraging to see that the children are preparing to do something worth while—that they are to be worthy inheritors of the things the older people have done and have tried to do.
The younger generation is coming on at a rapid rate. It behoves University students to think a bit about the contribution they are fitting themselves to make. Will it amount to as much as that of the Kids? Is our age as vitally interested in the welfare of community life as these children who are to come immediately after us?
Boss' Day is a good thing. It gives boys a taste of the duties of citizenship. One can only hope that it will not make them through conformists—that they will not become more imitators of the average glorious American—that they will put something of a new, fresh spirit into the tasks that they are to take up—that their future contribution will be permeated with the same youthful spirit which they invest in sling shots, hop scissors, and leap frogs.

"Truth is might"—so mighty that it can't begin to get around as fast as something we told that was not truth.
During these latter days of the seacter many students would do well by adopting the policy of President elect Hindenburg for Germany: "Get to Work."
UNREASONABLE INSTRUCTORS
Does the instructor who assigns his huge quota of outside readings ever stop to think that perhaps he is encouraging dishonesty? When an unreasonable amount of library reading is assigned in any course, that instructor may be reasonably sure that each student is not going to read every assignment; though he may, and probably will, turn in a report on all these readings. In this instance a member of the faculty is directly encouraging dishonesty. Yet this same person will probably lecture to his classes on the evil of dishonesty, and say he will turn in a failure for any of his students who are caught practicing the evil.
Is such a policy as this consistently? Is it playing the game equally? Our instructors know what a reasonable amount of outside reading is; they were once students as we are now. If these instructors would have their students pursue the honest policy, they should be more reasonable in their assignment of outside readings. Needless to say, the forthcoming results would be better for them and the students also.
"JUST A MOMENT WHILE FINISH THE SENTENCE"
The professor talked on and on, regardless of fleeting moments or of the whistle long since blown. Students grow restless and still more so. They fumed and fretted, but all to no avail. The professor did not seem to notice, or else did not wish to do so. Finally, after a full ten minutes had elapsed and it was twelve-thirty, the professor took out his watch and regarded it. "I did not hear the whisper," he said. "Just a moment while I finish the sentence." The students waited, but not because they wished to. It was lunch hour, and they were hungry.
Such cases are not uncommon. Every one has been held after the whistle many times and in some instances the delay may be justified. More often, however, it is not, and it is these times of which we speak. Life at the University is essentially a bary one. Classes are held on a scheduled time, meals are served at a regular hour, and a student's time is generally pretty well taken up. Over-time one place means less time somewhere else. It is doubtful whether many of the students in the class held ten minutes over the hour were able to partake of a sufficient lunch—not if they had to make one-hour classes.
We wonder—would it be out of place if, when a professor neglects to hear the whistle, a student should gently remind him that it is time the class be dismisused? It might not matter to much then if he should choose to remark, "Just a moment while I finish the sentence."
Miss Greta Green says that team move some people but Henry Ford helps out a lot.
We are well agreed that Rain is a "bum" production. That is the rain that played on our roofs most of April.

And New Yorkers pay 90 cents a half for grape fruit. Kansas offers some advantages.
Might a feeble voice be raised in protest against any reference to "dogs" in the Kansan columns. As news value their best days are indeed over.
AIMLESS LIVING
Years ago an eminent scholar remarked one day after he had discovered what everybody had long known—that he was awkward, and bookish to the point of pedantry, "Books may make the school but they never make the man. Now I'm going to become a man."
The comforting thing about this story is that the young man so well accomplished his aim that a critic said of him, "His character is a classic".
Economies are being practiced we are told, by nearly every department and school in the University in order to have enough money to continue the functions of K. U.
Why not turn off the lights at night? A view of nearly any building on the campus at night will find lights in many rooms burning away with no one about. The administration buildings's lights at night make one think of a munition's factory during the war.
On the Hill, we find today students who are in danger of becoming pedants. We find also, however, students who are in no danger even of becoming scholars. They wander through a college course laughing, playing, studying, dreaming alimelessly. They will step into the ranks of life with no set goal, no point of achievement and life will be a failure because of aimless living.
Let's go the Florida congressman one better and pass a law against flappers talking.
TURN OUT THE LIGHTS
Fuel is sold to the University and is turned into heat and light. It costs money every time we burn a watt of electricity. It would probably be a good idea to follow out the plan of a modern hotel who put the sign, "Stop, please turn out the light."

Campus Opinion

the order is known. There are camps

order that cannot be used because they are

Editor Daily Kansan:
Once again that sheet, which some lover of contrasts christened "The Dove," has appeared on Mt. Orcad. Once again, the majority of the arti- tives here share choresome where deep in the thibble and feeling life of the University.
But not so with all of the articles in the socialized journal of campus opinion. The attack on the stadium-museum fund was both unfounded and misleading, a bright farth a protest from every student to whom the Jawahri spirit is something more than a give and enterprise with all the giving context.
What if an emotional appeal was used in securing inscriptions to an institution which embody the very life and spirit of a great University? When students become so lacking in experience, the degree of failure of the war becomes a matter to distress with a superficial, jokie attitude, and when a tradition, founded by student for students occasions a feeling which brings about only recollection of the war. The University, when loyalty to the University becomes a matter of spending four years draining the resources of an institution without giving an enceice in return, the state might just as soon as give private lessons to students who are in no way bound together to an associated body.
Fortunately, most persons do not feel this way. There exists on Mr. Oread a fine spirit of loyalty and respect for the forces which have made and will make this University live—a spirit which rubels at unfeeling criticism of fundamental traditions. May that spirit prevail!
Plain Tales From the Hill
---
One popular woman student who has a number of important honorary offices on the Hill is often misquoted as being president of those which she is not. After a recent offence she lamented from depths of honest milieu: "I'm going to bleach it in the HILL and be found in every position on the HILL except that of Van—and it will probably have me down with Marie tomorrow."
In editorial Mahnin divides the class into two groups. One goes upstairs one time, the other the next. yesterday she said: "As before we will go into two groups—but reverses the order of going up."
Aerobatic Order
Ralsheviki!
Two students were chatting in socialism class regardless of the lecture. Contrary to the teaching of his subject the professor stopped and requested attention. But the girls didn't hear him so the class concluded that the socialist progrant must have been successful.
Disgusted Senior: All women can do is rall their hoose and cross their knees.
Journalist: The men roll theirs and don't need to cross their knees.

The question: What do you think of abolishing notebooks, except for the personal use of students?
Jack Kincaid, c. 127: I am inclined to believe that the requirement of note books by instructors is foolish because I do not believe that professors give them enough attention after their preparation in order to warrant their preparation.
Evan Edwards, e25: I am heartily in favor of the abolishment of such notebooks as are prepared as instructors requirements. Note books should be prepared at-the initiative of the student.
Miriam McClelland, e26: It is a good idea for formal notes are only a nuisance.
Florence Good, c256: It is a n好 idea. Compulsory notebooks are too often copied from former students' books.
Ruth Jane Ashley, c 28; I am abat-
edly against them because they are only a waste of time, and well,
just because I am against them.
Sallie Jones, c28: 'I am against them because compulsory notesbottles tend to make the concentration more upon the form, and the getting of the work in a book rather than in the mind.
Sue Brown, sp.: It does not make any difference to me for I keep them whether required or not.
