Look at the variety in weather. HOAXING THE PUBLIC People can eat impure food and usually a doctor can fix them up so that the effects will be gone in a short time. A man may lose all of his money by the plans of a crooked promoter and yet, in the future, completely recover his financial position. But if a man is cheated out of his confidence he has lost something which can never be completely restored. The United States law has provided a place for nearly all the cheats, yet it has overlooked the greatest of them all—the robber of our confidence. The person who plans a box is as guilty as the bank robber and should be dealt with as definitely. Wouldn't this be a most unpleasant world if no one could trust his neighbor? We would all be cynics of the most unpleasant and unhappy nature. Nature has provided us with the most comforting of all virtues—confidence, we are justified in rising up and demanding that it shall not be destroyed. Rumors, most unfair weepers, have hinted that the Kentucky cave探orer, Floyd Collin, is working on a colossal hoax to gain publicity for himself and his community. We hope that it is untrue and that the newspapers have been justified in their publicity of such a terrible accident. The public has given its sympathy and even its money to help this man. The public does not begrudge the money or the sympathy if it saves a life or aids the Collins family. But if we have been lied to, be cheated, and our confidence shattered, we deserve the only redress which can be given—criminal punishment to the guilty parties. You clip a coupon to learn "what's wrong with the picture," you clip one to become an accountant, you clip one to keep from being a wall flower. After while you can clip one and become president. WE WANT TO KNOW WE WANT TO KNOW This isn't a grievance. It is an attempt to find out the why of a rather peculiar phenomenon. At every basketball game we see students craning their necks, from away up next to the raffers, to get a look at the game. On the other hand we see respectable citizens of Lawrence seated comfortably in the front rows of the choice sections downstairs. Now why is it? The presumption is, in all University enterprises, that the students will get first chance at the best seats. They merit this because, obviously, no activity could flourish without the support of the students. Of course, if you are not a student, you can to get the select places on the court and failed to take advantage of it. If there are any tickets set aside for the general public, why couldn't they be from among those in the high corners upstairs, or in the corner sections downstairs? Many students would like to be informed on this point. They feel that in all fairness those who have bought activity tickets should get first consideration; while the students who have not activity tickets can take their chances with the general public. If such is the case now, there is no grievance. European relations are just like any her relation—generally poor. TOGO T, so the lead dog in the champion team of Leadur Sappallia, is gone. He decreted his master in time of need because the event of reindeer was in his restfuls. It is said that these northern dogs are always arrested when they get a set of reindeers. Sappallia wouldn't take $600 for the dog because of the unimovable things that he has saved his life. And another dog covered in snow might otherwise dog in the history of thunder. Seppallia lost two other dogs with Fogo. One of them returned but the other one, which had been in all of the races in the Seppallia had participated, went the way of Toso. Scotty, son of the famous swept-stakeer leader, succeeded Toa as trail man and showed his master that he could fill the vacant place creatively. A report Monday morning stated that Balo, trail man for Gunnar Kasson, had died because of the strenuous trip, but this was later corrected. Ratto will go down in history as the crever头 of the trip because he led the way for sixty miles when Kasen could see nothing because of his blizzard. The height of irony was resultant the United States senators compliment tickets to Sheridan's "School for Scandal." JUNIOR AND SENIOR ADVISERS Few things are more discouraging to a senior during the rushing months of his last semester than to receive news through the office of the dean that some of the requirements of his course have not been met, and he, in therefore, not eligible to graduate. Freshmen and sophomores have students with whom they are able to hold conferences and obtain advice as to the proper subjects in which to enroll. By the time the sophomore year is finished, however, the student is supposed to have gained enough knowledge to know what is required for graduation. He is expected to proceed unafraid through the choosing of the rest of his course. Many students in the upper classes are not well acquainted with the regulations, however, and are unable to receive intelligent advice when they enroll as to what they should take. The result is that ignorant of their mistakes, they are not checked on carefully enough by the dean's office, and during the last few weeks of the final semester, a competent voice over the phone informs the worried senior that his transcript shows deficiencies which must be made up before the senior will be eligible for graduation. A little advice at the beginning of each semester, when the student is selecting his course, would not make such situations possible. As it is now, every student must rush to the gymnasium at his assigned hour, and speed through the enrollment as rapidly as possible. In short, the purpose seems to be, "Get enrolled in something, but by all means, get enrolled." The members of the faculty, having just finished the long grind of a camerer's work, topped off with the task of grading several hundred examination papers, are tired, and it soon comes to be an old story with them. They glance over the transcript which has been thrust hurriedly into their hands, give the enrollment card a glance, count up the total number of hours, give the card their official "O. K," and rush on to the next in line. A system of junior and senior adviser, and a more vigorous checking up in the office of the dean would eliminate many of "Life's Darkest Moments." It would save, in addition, a great deal of time and energy now wanted in taking a great amount of work which proves worthless in the end and requires several additional months at college to make up the deficiencies. WHEN IS MURDER NOT A MURDER? A woman of Paris recently killed her fince. He had been afflicted with cancer and for weeks lay on his death bed.

The common shot him with a revolver and her defense, when she appeared before the court on the charge of murder, was "I would gladly have given all I possessed—love and life—to save him, but when it was beyond all human power to save him, I gave him eternal rest." The woman was found not guilty of murder by the jury which tried her case. If the entire population of Paris had been allowed to serve as a jury in the case, or even the entire primition of the world, her defense might have declined for her the same verdicts. Just whether or not it is right for an individual to take a life under certain circumstances, to place the taking of life in the hands of the individual in a serious question. The unwritten law has long been used as a defense in murder trials until today it is an exception when a person gets the extreme penalty when the unwritten law may be invoked. Will another such law be developed which will allow an individual to end a life in order that an incurable surfer may be brought to an end? (certain lines of science and thought argue that the most hu- many thing that we could do for the apeid and the feeble, or any other who are so physically disabled that they are no longer able to live with any pleasure, be to end their lives in a human way. These sciences, however, do not tell us that the power to take such lifes should be left in the hands of an individual. Humanity may some day he forced to settle the question. It is hard for us to believe that the taking of life under such a circumstance is right. Then too, the Bible distinctly tells us that it is wrong. But an incident one related above makes the problem much more difficult; those who are thinking about the question The cross-word puzzle erase has a bad effect upon the morale of students, declares the Minnesota University libraryarian. Every dictionary of synonyms which the university owns has disappeared from the shelves. Fidelity students intent on finding word meaning "sheet-music," or some other synonym, have taken these books.

This privilege is now threatened by the fact that a few are offering tickets secured in this way for football season, and not during the football season but more of it now during the basketball season. This practice is a violation of the law and could be dealt with by the law. The Committees believes, however, that it will be handled by student sentiment in than any other way, once it is fully understood. Those who are familiar with the organization of the Student Enterprise Ticket know that there is an important practice of scaling will do more to cause the entire collapse of this very real student privilege than almost anything else that could happen. The great majority of students who do play the game fairly can create sufficient sentiment to stamp out the present evil overnight. THE STUDENT ENTERPRISE TICKET COMMITTEE. What Was "Robin Hood's Barn" NIGH on to a thousand years ago, wealthy wayfarers learned to choose some roundabout route into Nottingham, rather than the short cut that led straight through Sherwood forest. [ ] For the forest was "Robin Hood's barn" and doughy Robin and his merry men were eager coin collectors. People who buy without regard to advertising nowadays journey at high cost in roundabout ways, to make their purchases where dollars are dubious. For the shrewd buyer of anything, in our times, sends his money to market the straight, sure way, guided by advertising. What is not advertised may be worth buying. But what is advertised simply must be beyond question. He would be a foolhardy merchant, or a reckless manufacturer, who dared publicity for anything questionable. All the risk these days is in going 'round Robin Hood's barn. Buying on the strength of the advertised promise is the way to buy with least risk of disappointment and greatest certainty of satisfaction. X MAKE USE OF THE ADVERTISEMENTS!
