No, Oswald, you may have been going on the Hill for six years but that does not make you eligible for the Old Settlers' Reunion.
Now that the campus is equipped with a motor lawn mower all it lacks is a motor paper gatherer and it will be quite modern.
Floran A. Gugliis is the new world’s champion spaghetti heater. Here’s hoping that the sport never enters collegiate circles. Imagine Now it would be to report: “Fisher got away to a good start but lost his stride on the fifteenth fortful.”
It only takes a dollar to get your life insured nowadays. And it only takes a misstep to have your death assured any day.
WHAT OF THE POOR T.B.W.
Yes, the Relay races are over, but the biggest races of the year are yet to come—the races to carry the term reports across the line before the maximum time expires. And races against time are always more of a grind than a thrill.
with the Kansas City newspapers running column stories of the recent raid in which several hundred "tired business men" were dragged out of a theater where they were watching the revealing performances of two dancers and enjoying art for art's sake, attention is again called to the difference that exists between what a man can get away with safely enough and the things that would blot the character of a woman.
Suppose the raiders had found the little theater crowded with the female of the species? Editorial writers and ministers would have crowded the columns of the Kansas City papers with wordy declarations deploring the broken sanctity of the home and damning the women spectators in the most vigorous terms. Every woman caught in the place would have to leave the country to escape the indictments of her neighbors and associates. Divorce proceedings would probably be filed against at least half of the married women in the crowd.
But what happens when men are caught in such a predicament? The columns of the papers are full, to be sure, but the stories are treated in a fanciful manner and a joke is made of the whole proceeding. The only ones who really come in for criticism are the unfortunate women who were doing the "entertainment." Wives scurry down to the jail with bond money, employees seek employees to get them free. Mirthful accounts of barbers-shop workers and other recreational groups hastily formed in the cells draw laughs from the readers, where the same things written concerning women would only draw laments and speculations concerning the depravity of modern life.
Why should the men be able to get away with such affairs as happened in Kansas City? Mainly because the women themselves, if not openly sanctioning such actions, at least fail to take them seriously as the men would do if the women were the guilty ones. The double standard will exist so long as women treat the offences of the men lightly, at the same time condemning the sidesteps of their sisters.
SWATTING THE LAMPOON
WATTING THE LAMPOON
Another college comic has aroused the wrath of the authorities, who, obedient to a puritanial impulse to clean up the institutions of higher learning, have seized all the copier of a recent number of Lampoon, on the charge that it contained "salacious," "indecent" and "immoral" matter.
A few weeks ago the Brown University Brown Jug met a similar fate, and some time previous to that the editor of the Oklahoma Whirlwind was forced to resign for having an imperial design on the cover.
Where, oh where, will these attempt leap? No one knows. The college are the objects of much suspicion. They are attended by "immature children" whose minds are constantly "running in evil channeal." But suppression merely glides lancer and martyrdom to any cause, and we can expect a violent protest to go up against it all over the country.
Out traffic rules are certainly not old friends. Old friends may be gone but not forgotten, while the traffic rules are not gone but too often are forgiven.
DRESS REVIEW WEEK
The Engineer's exhibit was a decided success. It was an education or its visitors. It was a boost for he University as well as the School f Engineering.
It is to be repetted that more people of Kansas cannot see their, University and what it is doing. Few people can conceive of the vast work being done by students and instructors until they see an exhibition of student work and departmental equipment.
During Commencement week many parents, Kansas taxpayers, visit the campus for the first time. Too often they gain only a superficial view of the University.
Why no have an all-University exhibit during *Commencement week?*
It could not be as complete and elaborate as the Engineer's exhibit for students and instructors could not spare the time for lectures and explanations. But each department could display the work of its students, could exhibit its equipment, and could "dress up" for the occasion. A larger conception of the University would be gained by parents. Our Commencement guests have a large interest in the University. Their money makes possible a University of Kansas. They should be given their money's worth when they visit us. They should be made to feel proud of that institution which has given their children better advantages and broader views of life. Why not have a University dress review, Commencement week?
Dependent professor: When a woman gets so nervous that she is afraid the campus is disappearing just because the trees are leaving we fear that she needs medical and not editorial advice.
A Georgin newspaper recently curried out an interesting experiment to discover possible effects of a reform which has been advocated by numerous agencies—the abolition of crime news from the newspapers.
A NEWSPAPER EXPERIMENT
For a week no crime stories were printed. At the end of that time it was found necessary to return to the former policy, as not only did many protests come from the readers of the paper, but during that short time its circulation actually showed a big loss.
This should at least make the severe critics of the press who have charged it with corrupting the public mind wonder whether the "playing up" of crime news in the papers isn't perhaps just a little the result of a demand for such treatment by the public, which must be satisfied if a newspaper is to continue to exist.
The average newspaper man is as averse to publication of crime news as his most radical critic, but he realizes only too well that success in his chosen field consists in "giving the public what it wants." Only through a change in the attitude of the public can a change in the policies of newspapers be brought about.
Rumor has it that about fifty percent of the members of the tired business men who attended the Little Theater Monday night were related to the Doe family. But most of them have less dough now than they did then.
A Kansas City youth rescues a despondent girl and now they are holding hands. - Shucks, we can find a pretence to hold hands a lot easier than that.
Rain is supposed to clear the atmosphere. The wind storm of Saturday night was quite efficient as it blew down an antenna to a local spark station which had been musing up the atmosphere all winter.
Maybe the towns of Kansas did hear the results of some of the Relay races before those in the stadium did but the young genius who brought his crystal set along to the bleachers came about as near knowing everything that can be imagined?
Editor Daily Kansas:
Campus Opinion
Many are the times on Sunday that we have sung the old song "Wearen the Gates Swing Outward Never" but in the state of Kansas the order is changed. It is a state law that all outside doors on public buildings in the state shall open to the outseat. But how about the doors of our new school? We should be modern throughout, but all the doors swing to the inside.
The building is of course a fire proof as is possible to make it so the danger in fire panic is small. Purpose on the other hand, that some one should release a quantity of tear gas in they building. Immediately there would be a wild reaction to scach the door would be unable to open because of the pressure of those behind him. The results would be that someone would be injured or killed. Why not reduce the encasements for an accident on this? It may be a small matter on their safety but they would also be a small matter. Let's be safe rather than sorry, especially when the cost of being safe is so cheap.

Book Notes
The spring number of the Oread Magazine contains a variety of material deserving of comment. An would be expected at this time of the year, poetry plays a consistent role in the magazine. Eat a close reading of the poetic effusions reveals an astounding capacity for appreciation of beauty on the campus. One would hardly expect a sophisticated, blaze artful cover to indulge in this ancient art. And the quality is not to be despised.
Humor, that leaveen which lighten, any publication, is found in relative abundance, and is of a rich and spontaneous nature. The articles "Free dom of the Dussel" and "May I Please the Couple of you a dear girl in a clever style. The former is a protest against the convention which requires men to wear collars and coats in weather such as the present. While the latter is written in a free flowing, drawing style and portrays the law school as it is seen by one "on the inside." Humor, one of the American athletes, has written an article on a subject which is near to his heart, and a matter which he has put into practice here on the campus.
"A Taste of Shakespeare" Quality is a scholarly and lucid sketch telling the delights of the Shakespeare play by Elizabeth Meyer, the creation of the immortal Will's books
In an effort to include all forms of literature, the magazine contains a short play, "The Edge of the Sea" and an article, "Eugene O'Nell-Experimentalist!" This last is a keen observation of the world of weight, and is worthy of a large, reading public that the Oread reaches.
A translation of an Oriental tale from the Greek is a rather new and unusual feature of the magazine. Several other stories and articles of merit are to be found within its covers.
OFFICIAL UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
On the whole it may be said of the publication that it makes an obvious effort to attract the interest of students, and succeeds whenever the content has the snap and pep demanded by college tastes. It falls when too much of the prosy and pdantic is included.
Tonight at 8 o'clock in central Administration auditorium the debate teams of the Universities of Oklahoma and South Dakota will debate the supreme court question. This will be the best decision debate of the year. Dr. Frank Strong will preside. BRYAN A. GILKINSON.

IT'S A FACT
That
THE JUNIOR PROM
Should be The "REAL" party of the Year
The managers this year intend to take it out of the "just another party" class, and put it on an equal plane with proms in other schools.
TO ACCOMPLISH THIS
They have made it formal, as it was before the war. They have the best music in the Missouri Valley under contract.
They have engaged the best decorators possible. They have planned unique entertainment and elaborate refreshments
And they have provided against a shortage of tuxes by importing a large number. (They may be had at the University Pressing Shop, 14th and Tennessee)
