PHONES HONES Federal department K. U. 29 Business department K. U. F THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 26, 1925 WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH THE OUTLINE FIEND? The man who first invented a formal outline around which we could build a complete and unified composition made a valuable contribution to human knowledge. But like anything else the outline has a limit to its usefulness. Beyond that point it becomes a drag, a bore, and a positive handicap. Many of the courses here on the Hill can be summarized in a short outline, but when day after day in spirit in giving summaries to students who copy page after page of dry outlines, the freshness and vitality of education are lost. Such procedure is emphasizing the acquisition of facts rather than the ability to think. Facts: can always be found in reference books. The ability to think clearly can be gained only by practice. Copying outlines requires only mechanical deftness and the strength to resist drowsiness. It cannot be denied that a well-kept outline crammed well before finals will often earn a good grade. But primarily we are not here for grades; we are not here to acquire teams of exact outline, which will only mound away in the garret. We are here to enrich our minds and our experience "and to enlighten our ability to do independent thinking." The sent of education I the mind—not the note book, the chair book, or the religiously kept outline If the present tid for special "weeks" continues we will have to have a timekeeper to avoid a rush on the date. "WHEN BUSINESS INTERFERES" When King George leaves England on a cricket to regain his health it is said that it will be necessary to have a commission to rule in his absence. The Prince of Wales is going on a pleasure or friendship tour, so the King's first assistant will be busy. The Duke of York, who is next in the royal line, is on a hunting trip in Africa, so he will be unable to take the King's place. Which all leads us to believe that the English are like the Americans in their attitude that one should never let his business interfere with his pleasure. Women May Tell More—headline Which certainly displays the theory that they have always told everything they knew. CONVOCATION CHAT No one will gainay that the busy college student need, diversion and recreation. The old story about Jack and the dull boy still holds good even in this modern age, but no one seems to have reminded us that Jack may become worse than a dullard when he works in the play-room and plays in the work-room. Attendance at convolution is not required. They are for those who care to attend, and usually our conversations are of such nature that the majority wish to attend. But why should any student who feels at that particular moment an impelling desire to have a bit of social recreation and diversion here himself and disturb other people by going to convolution? The student who provides a few hilarious moments for himself by reading about from a book which is upside down or humming impro- tations on "My Old Kentucky Home" may be a clever yawn man, but it is the grand consensus of those around him that his talents are wanted in competition with a skilled convoitation speaker. He might be more highly appreciated in the "great outsiders" where men are what they phrase and convoactions are not held. It is impossible to accommodate everyone in Robinac gymnastics when asked if they are their Coin Cols and let those who are interested attend convoactions. People who really believe that there is no anatomy in America should just see what P. Connoy does with the weather. KANSAS CITY'S NEW GOVERNMENT It was interesting that the trainee in Kansas City, wherein two policemen were killed after turning "hackers," should have come on the eve of a city election for a change in the form of municipal government. The old mayor-council form of government corruptions and graft to creep in waged a losing fight with the city manager form. According to the new plan the city will be managed much the same as a huge business corporation. Whereas, in the business concern the general manager is responsible to the directors and they in turn to the stockholders, in the municipal corporation the city manager is responsible to a council who through the initiative, referendum, recall and protest, is responsible to the popular vote. This new plan which has proved so successful in many of our leading cities should do much to eliminate the political graft which has so often characterized Kansas City as an example of poor municipal administration. An efficient form of city government should make this city with its excellent geographical location the leading city of the Middle West. Whether honest, efficient government will do much to deter crime and "biljacking" by public officers cannot be fully stated, because that city's police department is under state control. However, we may naturally suppose that city officials will be convicted to suppress much of this present evil, when they are held directly responsible to the popular will. "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" if it happens to be a professional knowledge of what you know about his course. IS IT SELFISHNESS? Meetings, Meetings, Meetings, there still one move and all for the same person. And this same person is so rushed and in so much of a hurry that he doesn't have time to look around for someone else to help him out. Why don't the hungist student find somebody to help? Doesn't he remember back in the earlier days of his college career when he would have given his good grade in rhetorics or algebra or something else to be on some committee or to hold some office? Just so he could be in an activity, that's all he cared about. Yet this same little freshman who is now the buest of juniors or seniors tries to do everything that comes his way and craves more. There are dozens of people on the Hill who want to do some of the things that are loaded on the "busiest." They too are capable of doing those things, if they were but given the chance to try. Why do they get it the opportunity? Is it because the overloaded upperclassman want all that he can get and is really down selfish. Point systems are all right as so- lutions, but they do not go far en- ough. Can anyone offer a contribu- tion? What about the activites a little more evenly? Campus Opinion A certain philosopher defines "Sceptic" an one who is "not read to hazard the adventure of constrion." Surely the description belongs to Ms. who writes under the beating "The Opinion" in *Mod day*'s Kanman. --out and his arbitrary statements unpacked by either lorike or truth. “Denierance that is not an end in itself has never lagged successfully.” This is a salient statement of a proof truth, not a denierance; the name of denierance it means it mean.” His reasoning is specious through The author is taking too much to granted when he speaks of "inherent inefficiency" of a student body to take charge of its moral welfare. If our school spinners give us some reason to believe that good would that follow for us, for the same fine fiddle in both biology and psychology. What is unique about these it would be far easier for the authorities to continue in the old way than to attempt to modern consciousness of right and wrong. Nor does it matter of an experimental thing. Properly incubated the result of moral responsibility is self-respect and from this and only does right action follow. No one knows this better than the father of our class who would receive in his sire "who" would develop moral sense. An Undergraduate. It is a tremendous problem. Superfluous steering will not further its solution. Plain Tales From the Hill "The national constitution," says a professor of political science, "guarantees to each individual any a right to the pursuit of happiness, not that each individual, or any individual, will ever catch up with it." Heavy-art professor, demonstrating the exact location of whiskers warn his our forefathers: "They exert force to come a foot in the chin." Inquisitive Freshman; "Which chin?" A student raised into Rowlanda posted yesterday and said to the clerks: Please give me 15 cents worth of cross word unzer. "What?" the astonished clerk agccluded. "Pardon me, I meant cross section paper." As spring fashion appear on the Hill, we are reminded that, "As the overwhelming tree beast Hill, we are reminded that, "As the overflowing tree bea: little fruit. So the letter man wears the louder suit." One student of public speaking cherishes the nibbion to some day make the ideal after dinner speech beginning; I have known for months that I want to make this speech and deliver it in the form of deliverances. I do not feel that which waste your time and I intend to talk at some length upon this subject." where he will take up the study of medicine. It seems that many students received incomplete in beds lasting last semester, at least one would infer that they were trying to make them up this term.
