Lilacs Will Soon Bloom on University Campus
Likes of the hedge are about to burst into bloom. In place of solitary, potted bushes which the greenhouse department has kept in central Administration, building during the winter season, the students soon may enjoy the beauty and fragrance of the full bloom of bushes at the east end of the cumma.
The north side if the hedge is the younger side, and from it have come bushes which have brightened the lobby of central Administration building for the past few months. Young absents were taken from the hedge, kept in the greenhouse for 24 or 30 days, and moved to the Administration building. Every three weeks the plant was changed.
Now the privilege of seeing flashes will not be restricted to those students having classes in Administration building. Unless a late frost hits the lamps, now plentifully scattered on bushes, the hedge will soon be a mass of fragrant and gorgeous lavender blossoms.

K. U. Forum Recommends Grading System Change
The substitution of two grades, a passing mark and a failure, for the present system of five grades, would be a forward step in grading at the University of Kansas in the opinion of the K. U. Forum. This was the result of the vote taken at the most recent CCI meeting of the ministration building on proposed plans for improving the present grading system.
Other proposals for grading were blind grading under the present method, that is, grading the student at as present but withholding grades until graduation, except in case of failure; the use of three grades—honor, passing and failure; and the course to be kept in a course until the student be to kept in a course until he was mastered it. Floyd Simonton was the leaver in the discussion.
