WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1. 1925
Fools' day, funny we recognize it but once a year.
The Hill's freshest freshman wants to know just how one shows a blind date the door.
The old theory that youth should be a savings bank may be responsible for the flapper drawing such a high rate of interest.
--tally and walk the streets—freemen today? That would be impressive, but it takes nerve and it is hardly likely they will do it. The present police force, by their actions yesterday and in the past in failure to do their duty, have really and truly earned for themselves, the name of "the Rocking Chair" police force.
They say there is no fool like an old fool, but from the rate some of us go the older generation must get up and go to keep up a reputation.
It sense a nity that marriages made in heaven have to be cooled by hiccuit made in the kitchen.
The only bit of humor in the new radical sheet on the campus went unmindful. What made them pick such a name?
People who marry on speaking acquaintance generally find that there is still a good deal to be said after the ceremony.
Spanish war, get nets silver star citation.—Headline. Well, there will be one silver star in his crown.
OUR BRAVE POLICE
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing—if it happens to be the little the proof doesn't find evidence of in your quiz book.
Monday afternoon several cars of Lawrence police were busy searching the campus for evidence of cigarette selling. As their cars swung along the highway, one policeman would say to another, "There's a guy smokin' a cigaret, get him." About fifty students were compelled in this manner to go to the police station. Here they were placed under oath and compelled to testify as to where they bought their cigarettes.
Does it take n a very great amount of courage and bravery to grab an unsuspecting student by the collar and drag him down to the police station to find cut where he buys his smokes?
No! But it does take some risk to apprehend murderers and burglars. A great number of private homes and fraternity houses have been the prey of thieves, yet there have been no arrests, no convictions for these crimes.
It has been nearly a month since Bill Mank, owner of a number of taxi-cabs, an unassuming gentleman, was shot down in a cold blooded murder for refusal to comply with a bandit's wishes. Did the police of Lawrence go out and bring the criminal to speedy trial? No! They are still trying to find a motive for the killing—the assassin goes free!
Every person who buys a package of cigarettes shares part of the burden of the fire, in case the dealer is caught selling them. It is the duty of the police to enforce the laws of the state. But their methods of going about getting evidence by buildingz the students of K. U. is poor stuff. It shows laxiness on their part when many of the Lawrence business men smoke cigarettes and are accessible.
If they desire to impress us with their authority and bravery it would be very easy. They would only have to apprehend the murderers of innocent citizens and arrest burglaries who have been robbing our homes wan-

THE BACK YARD
The University has been complimented by many persons upon the view across the valley to the south and justly have these compliments been given. But what a shock it is when one withdraws one's gaze from the distant scene and looks about him at the University's immediate surroundings.
L. N. FLINT, Chairman.
The reason I was named Theophilus," said Theophilus Tewkebury, the bereft minded professor of Shannon River, "was because my father was named Dunon and my mother's relatives thought that one D. T. in the family was enough."
Where is that promised speed cop?
Most of the ground is bare, but bare and there grass may be found—not well kept grass like one sees in front of the Administration building but natural prairie grass that has grown up and gone to seed annually, untouched by scythe or sickle. It is admitted that this side of the campus is the one devoted to the business side of running the University, but that does not excuse the grounds being kept in a obviously way. It is true that the power house and construction shops are not as good boiling as buildings on the main part of the empire, but that is no reason for not keeping the surroundings in tip-top condition. The same care is needed there as is given the rest of the courtyard.
SPEED
During the past year much has been done to gather up scattered trash, and a road has been opened. We do not believe that the movement should stop until the grounds are added, slightly heaps of rubbish removed or cut out of sight, and the roads paved.
A siren shriek, a sobering hollow grating sound, the thrill of sudden danger, a quick flash of color as a figure dashes to safety. Ah, it is past. An unbleid sign of relief, then a hysterical laugh as an open throat motor jerks the ear forward—another accident narrowly averted.
This action was not on Michigan Boulevard in Chicago, nor was it conciously staged on Massachusetts street. It is a side snow here on Mount Acre沼Repetting itself more frequently than people like to think about.
This is an age of speed; speed in production, transportation and consumption. From the narrow escapes some luckless pedestrians have had during the past year, it would seem that speed in landing beneath the ground and acid is quite essential to lending a flour to these can-nall drivers.
The point of greatest batting accuracy is found any where between the eastern end of the campus drive and the street car tracks. Cars roar through that narrow neck of roadway as if it were a new motor bowling alley.
The University offers courses in many lines of education, but it is not arranged primarily for the training of future speed kings. A new speed cop as suggested by Mr. H. H. Dall, superintendent of buildings and grounds, with a few fines for reckless driving would no doubt help Mount Ordea to have a safe and same appearance. Now the mud scramble reminds one of a regiment of rookies scutting for shelter when shells begin to whine.
EARLIER COMMENCEMENT
The complaint is often heard here on the campus that there is no difference between the freshman and senior except that the senior's studies are harder.
Many thousands of students have lived Mount Orcad and never witnessed a commencement. Several students will be one for the first time this year.
It would be a real honor to graduate from the University with the remainder of the student body in attendance. This would throw the seniors' final examinations a week earlier but it would be worth while, because it would help to strengthen the bond between the University and the alumni of next year.

The question: Do you think that all students should be asked to remain in Lawrence for each spring? Ralph Child's, sp. c. No! Because many students have jobs to which they must report immediately after graduation.
Donald Lewis, c28. Yes, it would be an excellent way to do honor to the graduates.
Amedeo Cole, c27. No, most students need the time to get home and started to work.
George Suderman, gr., Yes, be cause if not the crowd at the exer cises will be very small.
Steve Martin, c. 20y, it was bold just as sensible to bring Barium and Balley street whenever it comes to town.
Chelle Cole, c. 27y, No, for sometime every student that intends to graduate will have to stay and unless he has some special friends or relative in the class at present he will not have any interest in the exercise so he should not be compelled to
Donald Isett, c'27. No, once in four years is enough for anybody.
On Other Hills
At Union University in Tennessee it is a violation of the university regulations for a woman student to be seen walking on the campus with a man. No bikes are permitted except with a married instructor acting as chaperone. Students are allowed two week-end dates a month.
Saturday automobile trips to points of educational interest in the vicinity will be a weekly feature at the University of Iowa.
