U. 2 Business department K. U. 68 FRIDAY, MARCH 6, 1925 WHAT IS THE REASON? Reports coming from those who are circulating the petition asking for exemption of Seniors from final quizzes their last semester in subjects in which they have an A or B standing are that most of the Seniors are going the petition. But this is to be expected. For it seems that each year the Seniors start a movement for just some such end, but as yet they have always failed to obtain any results. The idea this year is to find the reason why favorable action has never been taken on the matter in the past. Many members of the faculty do not hesitate to say that they think the idea a good one and hope to see the Seniors granted this privilege. They usually agree that they can tell what kind of a student each person will be receiving the time of examination during his last semester. But even before the final they can largely determine the grade a student will make in the course. An has been stated, the idea back of the movement this year is to find why favorable action has never been taken on the matter before. The Kanian feels that a majority of the members of the faculty are in favor of exempting the Seniors who have the A and B grades. And if a majority of the faculty are in favor of the ideal, we would like to know the reason why the privilege is not granted to the members of the Senior class. * LIBRARY SERVICE The big whistle on the power plant has just announced the end of a class period. There is confusion in the room brought about by the sound of the rattling of papers, the closing of books, the pushing back of chairs, and over all the hum of subdued voices carrying on hurried conversations. The incoming students rush for a long counter at the end of the room. Students stand two and in some places three deep around it. Back of the counter there also is hurry. Attendees quickly wait on the students, receiving their orders and hurrying back into the stacks. Then the wait commences on both the part of the student, who has been waived upon and that of the one who is still waiting for his request to be taken. After quite a while, the first row of students is waived upon. Then the second row gets its turn. If the last person in the second row are fortunate, they may receive the books they need; if not fortunate, they but fortune locks the other way, it may be a good half hour before the desired books are brought. This is no fairy tale but is what naturally happens at the close of every 50 minutes of the working day in the reference room of Watson library. The amount of time wasted by students waiting for books is long enough, when added throughout the semester, to make 367 days in the year. It is unfortunate, but it is true. This condition should be remedie It can easily be seen that most of the trouble lies in the inadequate number of attendants. This is either the fault of a too conservative legislature or the result of an over zealous attempt by those in charge of the library to make a good showing on the right side of the books. In either case there is no valid reason for the course followed. It is a fine thing for those in charge to be careful with the money allotted them for running the library; but such a thing is easily overdone and the efficiency of the library impaired. If the fault lies with the local administration, then it should take immediate steps to remedy the situation. But if the fault lies with the brittleure for not making a large enough appropriation to take care of the needs of the library, then those items should be delivered at the trouble to intercede for her. In either case, something should be done and done quickly. THAT LAST CONGRESS The "Lane Duck" or short session Congress has finally filled amusing itself with jealous wrappings over its prerogatives and gene home. But while it was in session bickering was the order. First the senate felt aggrieved because the secretary of state succeeded, in closing separations agreements with the allied nations without consulting it. The stunt was such a glaring urge that Senator Hiram Johnson in a lengthy diatribation lamented "our embroilments in the mysteries abroad." But thus far Senator Johnson has not brought cut any other plans for collecting our foreign bills. Next the house felt very angry at its upper relative when that August body presumed to draw up and pass a postal revenue measure. According to the constitution all such bills must originate in the house of representatives. The house, like a spiked child, defended the senate measure and then drew up its own postal pay bill which was passed. Both houses of congress took time to give President Colledge advice by which to operate his affairs, the senate even passing a bill rider to authorize the president to call another arms conference. And this nice little ticklet job is so easy for the president—especially with the present strained relations in the Orient. Congress with all its extra legislative activities has found hard work in getting time to pass routine appropriations bills and actually almost forget to get a raise in salary for its members. But this congress has one redemining feature. On its tentacle in the political grave yard at Washington will be engraved. "The killer of the pork barrel bill." BOXING AS A SPORT Boxing has come into its own in Kannan. It was Hosewella's favorite sport, and Doctor Allen has charm as a former individual game in the world. It is a sport intently interesting for the coactivator, and its participant: receive great benefits from it in the development of nerve, gameness, police, and physical vipar. But in the part the sport has been disgiven to is that many of those who took part in or promoted the sport. The high rank of boxing as a means of developing physique, poise, courage and gameness was clearly demonstrated in the training of men for the late war. Those who had the greatest reason to know of its benefits, the present members of the American Legion, were the backers of the bill that legalized boxing in Kansas. The growing interest in this—the greatest of individual sports, will unquestionably provide the sport is kept clean. With the Legion responsible for the law, and with such men as Doctor Alen, Mike Ahearn and Bill Hargas serving as a commission for the sport, the state need have no fear but that boxing will have a healthy growth in Kaua'i. They're at it already. They have been planning and plotting all winter. It is going to be a fine thing for the campus, a thing we all appreciate. SPRING GARDENING By "they," we mean, of course, the buildings and grounds department which has charge of making and keeping the campus beautiful. By "it" we mean the digging, grading and planting and sodding that is go- up on in various places about the campus. The slope between the Administration building and Potter lake is receiving particular attention. When March decides to exhibit a few of its limb characteristics that part of the campus will bloom forth in greater beauty than ever before and will add to the picturesque that nature has bestowed on Mt. Grendel. Campus Opinion Editor Daily Kansas: The state of Kansas certainly has an over abundance of "Carlie Nations." This was revealed recently in the Kansas legislature. Lact week the President of the W.C. T, U., an organization that should be with the Viotastat Act and bus. bad thing to reform since, presented the Senate with voluminous pitiful protests against the appeal of the U.S. government. Surely the state of Kansas to protect her children much more efficiently into cigarettes under the strictest laws, and present one. But the W, C, T, U, evidently wants Kansas to give the impression to other states of being a "Purifying" and incidentally find something for an obsolete organization. People are not foods—at least they could not be. But evidently there are a few of them scattered among us. If under the present law can civic-tennets be purchased in any town, or ordered from Kansan City and a city near it, then the proposed law be any worse for protection of miners? The quicker Kansas gets down to steady, some legislation the better off the state will be, even though the "Demon Run" to "Lady Nicole" and again attempts to feed the public from the customary "holok" J.
