Twenty records were shattered at the Relhya Saturday, but hundreds of windows were shattered that same evening by the hail storm.
PIG DRIVING
Now that we have tried almost every thing else to get people to have a "campus beautiful," we resort to "ye old time" method as is used in driving a pig, that is drive him in the opposite direction than that in which you want him to go.
Here are some of the suggestions that might be used:
1. Walk across the grass plots on the campus; especially use those paths best worn. It saves time.
2. Try to see if you can reach the highest branches when picking blossoms from the shrubbery on the campus.
3. Never fail to drop your paper scraps in a conveniently conspicuous place on the campus. The pick-up man wants to find them. That is what taxes are used for—to pay someone to go about picking up after you.
4. When crossing the campus between classes always walk four abreast with your companions. This is the best method to keep from being pushed off the walk.
5. When leafing in the halls of the Administration building or Watton hall, try the humanly method—it is restful, seeing how many footprints you can leave on the white surface of the wall.
6. When you are tired of your gum do not pass it on to a friend but drop it in a water fountain or place it in a convenient place on the desk or table.
9. Lastly—never assume the idea that you are personally responsible for any of the help in making the campus a beautiful and a good place on which to live—if you can possibly get by—let George do it.
8. Cigarette stubs are decorative they may act as a fertilizer too; so follow the method already established and enrage shreds and entangles well covered.
7. When you go into the library remember that it is a community social center. You are supposed to tell whenever you feel like it—and as loud as you please.
A HOSPITAL
The faculty of the University should be allowed to use the University hospital—not the one that we have now because of its size—but a new one that should be built.
The regular hospital and doctor fee that the facility now pays to private physicians might just as well be paid to a University hospital for its services.
As it is now our University hospital gives more for the fee than any of the other hospitals in Missouri valley universities. At Misonouri, all students pay $10 hospital fee which includes dispensary services only—medicine and beds have to be paid for separately.
There seems to be no help toward a new University hospital in the budget approved by the state legislature. Expenses and salaries are being cut to the bone.
But stadiums are being built. Union buildings are gaining subscriptions.
Maybe there is some hope for a new University hospital.
WHY THE QUESTION?
What is the Big Idea in Life? was the subject of a convocation dissertation given by a nationally known writer and speaker. The doctor gave a clear analysis of civilization as he saw it. If the present possessive civilization doesn't suddenly turn creative, it is doomed to sudden destruction such as the fate of five previous civilizations.
Famous speakers have pointed to facts of similar nature until the student is beginning to develop an inferiority complex thinking there is no hope for the future. When a conversation is announced the imagination pictures reformers and calamity hovlers parading the corpulent tobacco snaked money king, and crippled slum wail. America seems alive with all these dangerous possibilities, and awful death seems imminent the moment this campus is left. After this verbal slim of educational film the student stamines into open air and looks about to see that the whole campus hasn't been turned topsy turvey while that lecture was in progress.
In closing Page Page said that after all each individual has to answer for himself the question of "What is the Big Idea in Life?" He gave us m: definite pointers that could be taken as a real help. Let as be fair to our speakers. But we know all too well what the problem is. We are trying to improve it. Why take up our time talking about it if there is no definite help?
PRESIDENT VON HINDEN-
BURG
Returns on the German election show that Hindenburg, victor of Tanneburg and the Mausurian lakes, veteran of several wars, avowed nationalist and monarchist, has been elected president of the German republic.
At first thought, lovers of democracy throughout the world will hail this action of the German people as a death-blow to German democracy. Perhaps it is. Ever since the Versailles treaty was drawn up and forced on them, the Germans have been growing less and less trustful to the Republic.
But the Germans are not the only ones who have swung far toward the right in government. Witness the reaction in almost every important country in the world, which had previously taken long steps toward more
The immediate effects of Hindenburg's election will be a disturbing influence on French politics. There is little reason to doubt that the French leaders were unprepared for this reaction. But they should have been prepared. Momentous moves do not come about suddenly. Coming events always cast their shadows before them.
France, however, is in a state of restlessness and mental instability at present. And the French people act with a swiftness and impetuosity which at times is astonishing. There is no telling what may happen. It should not occasion much surprise to see Marshall Foch and Clementea in high office before long, if the present ministry fails to meet the impending crisis.
Americans need not become alarmed for the sanity of Germany's move, Hindenburg's election did not come about with the startling suddenness, and have the stunning effect on the republicans in that country whichapers would have us believe.
But if the German nation is to hold together, it must have a strong leader at its head. The world is passing through a critical period now. Democratic principles are being weighed in the balance and in most cases found wanting. For democracy without education results in disorder, anarchy, confusion, wrangling.
Mentally the German people were prepared. The reaction must have been growing for some time. And a clear-cut majority brought the old general in. He is a conservative and a militarist. He is a monarchist and a strong believer in Prussian principles. Hero-worship, an much anything else, was responsible for his election.
Our judgment should be withheld until the new president has had a chance to reveal his worth. If he
The third of a series of addresses on "The Choice of a Life Work" will be given Tuesday night of this week in the auditorium of central Administration building. Justice Henry F. Mason of the Kansas supreme court will speak upon "The Profession of Law." The meeting is open to all who are interested.

Joseph Callais, that stormy petre of French politics, is back in power, being the new minister of finance, as a result of the fall of Herriot's government. The new cabinet is headed by Paul Pallieu, while the other important post, the ministry of foreign affairs, is held by Aristide Brinnd.
To understand the significance of Calliaus' return it is necessary to turn back a few years, to the time when he was being court mortified for "traffic with the enemy," when the Germans were in possession of northern France.
More sensational was his fall from the prime ministry in 1913 when the editor of Le Figaro published scandalous letters regarding Callaux' past which so angered the second Madame Callaux that she shot to death the editor.
He has been in office but a few days now, so it is difficult to say what he is doing. But it is safe to assume that if the French people picked him, of all men, to handle this crisis, he must have the ability, and he must have their confidence. The dark past will be forgotten if he butises up to the occasion.
CAILLAUX IN POWER
Callaux, whatever his faults may be, is a shrewd financier. If he cannot save France, no one can. His task is to collect the reparations from Germany, pay the French debts to England and America, continue the task of rebuilding and to balance the budget.
It is surprising to most Americans to see a man of this type come back to power, yet when the temperament of the French people is understood the episode does not seem no peculiar. France is now in perhaps her worst crisis since the third republic was established. She is on the verge of financial collapse. Every expedient known to the officials in power has been tried to avail a calamity, but all seem to have failed. The calling of a socialist, Herriot, to power was calculated to bring relief, but Herriot found the job more than he had bargained for. He made promises which he found he could not fulfill. Poincare preceding him was too aggressive and imperialistic. His attitude toward Germany was too severe; it aroused sympathy in other nations for the under-dog. Now the return of Poincare to political life, and his election to the Senate, has had the effect of bringing about a crisis in French politics, a conflict between the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, which resulted in Herriot's disappearance.
This in itself is an indication of a violent swing in France toward the right. It has been known for some time that the clerical and monarchial factions have been gaining strength. The outcome of this was to lead the French to try the last expedient. It is their peculiar mental makeup to stick doggedly to one course until the bitter end, before finally seeing its defects and changing violently to another track.

This book is the one book that I worth the time and more than the time spent in reading it. It is absolutely unhanded in any way with the least effort, so they need them. The style is plain, simple, almost curt in its manner.
Formanda Mason, one of the three daughters of Mrs. Mason, is the personality about which the story is written. Pauline, sarcastic and jealous is the other daughter that lives at home. Bette, the married daughter, is the fourth daughter of Michael Family. The family, gentle, subtle humour, and traciness ruthless in its course, is handled with amazing skill.

At the Concert
The Messiah, by Handel, the world's greatest oratorio, was skillfully presented last night in Robinson gymnasium by the Lawrence Choral Union under the direction of Robert Bouton, dean of the School of Fine Arts.
From the opening overture by the University orchestra to the closing chorus, the performance was marked by a high degree of skill and preformance and earnest training of the chorus. There was nothing labored about the presentation; every number flowed freely, and the ease of direction by Dean Swarthout lent atmosphere in was in harmony with the oratorio.
The work *df* of the University orchestra enhanced the beauty of the performance, and the voices of the soloists blended well with it. The ensemble was further enriched by the bass by Eayl Muller, while Miss Irene Irene sang the soprano, and Miss Vera Neely carried the contralto part. At times the voices were not quite strong enough to carry above the orchestral accompaniment, but to diminish the volume resulted in a weak representation.
The audience could not fail to appreciate the mournful direction and the accurate response of the chorus of some five hundred voices, accorded with the melody phrases, the voice rows in magnitude to the strongest of passages without the least evidence of effort, like a gigantic organ under the direction of a skilled musician. Such performance lent coloring and atmosphere to a perfect rendition. The work of the chorus was indeed a surprise.
Those who failed to hear the Mussiah should indeed feel a measure of regret for, without a doubt, it was a very creditable presentation of the great composition. The gymnastium was about two-thirds filled. The unruffled cloth is a worthy contribution to the musical programs of the University and of Lawrence and no doubt will become an honored tradition.
On Other Hills
The founding of Greek letter *ferretinium* at Union College 100 years ago will be celebrated this fall by a group of students who will conferly will have a representative.
Kappa Alpha, Sigma Phi, and Delta Phi were all founded at Union College. Kappa Alpha claims to be the oldest of all national fraternities, being founded in 1835. Sigma Phi and Delta Phi were founded two centuries later. The universities will erect a memorial gate at the north entrance to the campus to commemorate the founding of the fraternity system.
Over $15,000,000 is involved in building plans now under consideration and partly under way at Columbia University. Structures authorize construction for which has already been broken and which will cost nearly $25,000,000.
New chemistry and physics labres
to be built at a combined ex-
prience of more than $250,000,
will provide the schedule for immo-
rational construction.
A tradition at the University of Oregon forbids smoking on the campus but hentitation started by student arrests to overthrow the tradition.
Construction began on the new medical laboratories at the University of Iowa Saturday, April 18. Figured because fraternity men imported too many out-of-town women last month to be their partners at the Pan-Hellenic dance, the chief counselor of the party, the chancellor, brought in boycotters on Rhbst college men as escorts. When they held their first "party of the season," last week, they invited out-of-town men as far an possible.
Afternoon classes are being resumed at Princeton University. It has been twenty years since any afternoon classes were held at the university.
Boulder Colo.-That net over 20 percent of the college's students have the mental ability or capacity to make Bpi Beta Kappa is the host of the faculty of the University of Oklahoma, in favor of discouraging the idea of students having that honorary fraternity as their goal.

People Do Read Advertising
SIX THOUSAND shoppers in stores in Boston were asked regarding their habits in reading newspapers before going on a shopping trip. According to Daniel Starch of the Harvard School of Business Administration these are the answers to the question: "Do you read the advertising?"
UPSTAIRS STORE
Answer Always Usually Rarely Never No. Ans. 1299 1246 558 267 per cent 38.5 36.9 16.5 8
DOWNSTAIRS STORE
Number 719 397 112
Per cent 56.9 31.5 8.8
In other words, more than three-fourths of the women shoppers read the advertising before they ever left their homes. What is true in Boston is true in Lawrence.
