CAP AND GOWN AND THE FACULTY What is the reason that the faculty do not wear caps and gowns at commencement time? Every spring when six hundred or so students don commencement regular, the faculty arranged in packages of many kinds and represented them as they represent not at all, in appearance at least, the dignity of their profession. The senior at graduation is put a great expense in order that all truly connected with that momentous occasion may be perceived. He does not object, however; for him it is an important day, and he deserves that pumpe red ceremony shall have a part in the excursion. He feels a just ordre in his own cap and gown, and to use the faculty strangely in everyday clothes comes as a distinct shock. The faculty in most matters are exacting. They, as a class, believe in attaching dignity and solemnity to graduation. It must be that they have only overlooked the importance of uniform dress, that of the coat and gown, for both faculty and students. But its importance to the color cannot be overestimated. To him it is the symbol of the day, and the faculty in ordinary clothes rob the occasion of its full significance. AMERICAN LIFE ON CANVAS An Italian painter, Nicola Rochon, has painted a picture which he calls "The Son of America." It is a flammy boyniefelt, filled with curious irregularities. It is jazzy set to color. A reviewer in the Public Ledger describes it with vividness. He says, "Against an azure background is a huge moon, with as a juval a face as ever smiled to jazz rhythm. It is unquestionably the face of the well fed business man. In the lower foreground of the picture are half a dozen figures of a jazz land. In the center is a direct torading the musicians. He looks very much like the moon above him. Mr. Benchis says it was when he heard the players in a jazz concert in the open air at a beach resort that he conceived the idea of his picture. So the article goes. Mr. Ronchi in his own hues, has painted the "righthand of America," Jazz with its noisy dim and syracuse of measure. He has placed on canvas a picture which he believes to be truly intrepretative of American life Therein he has erased somewhat. American life is not all jazz. All American music is not jazz. Mr. Ronchi, evidently, has not sought out our best. While he was listening to jazz at the beach resort, probably no more than a block away he might have heard a fine concert of really good music. Mr. Ronchi has overlooked our Metropolitan Opera, and our great symphony orchestra. He has ignored these phases of our life entirely. Perhaps if he stays away while he may be able to paint a calmer, it can interpret life as it is lived in America. THEY ARE STILL WITH US The penny toesers are still at the University. It was feared that all of them had left last year, but they again made their appearance at the Okinawa game. Such wits are indeed a great help to the lighter side of Life university. They are specialists in the one phase of the art and he may be told to "toss a mean penny." Basketball games are not the encl places where they perform. Master shows come in for their share of the sport, in fact they seem to be frowned places. There is sometimes so original and discerning in the man of penny tossing that many have taken it up along with crosses wrist musles as a means of entertainment. It has been suggested that the university offer a course in penny tossing, but there would be only one course would be only more interesting. Teenage a number of students will consider themselves masters of the art. Cedgate recently paid $5,000 for a dinosaur exhibit, says an exchange item. New people will go wild about ratios. They'll sell the eggs at $10,000 a dozen. BOARD OF REGENTS FOR KANSAS A bill which would provide for a governing board of nineregents for the educational institutions of the state was introduced in the senate Friday. The measure has the approval of Governor Ben S. Paulen, and the bill, if passed, would take effect May 1, 1925. The authority of the present board of administration over penal and charitable institutions of the state would not be affected should the bill be passed. Only the transfer of all power over state educational institution from the board of administration to the board of report is proposed. Membership on the board would be comprised of nine men appointed by the governor. The appointment would be for four years, but they would be overhanging. The state business manager would work through the board of regents as fast as educational institution; are concerned. The bill seems to be an excellent one. It does not free the board entirely from all political control, but it is a decided step in advance. The fact that its members are to serve without pay is a point in its favor. In addition, the fact that the administration of the state institution has been divided between these two boards should make for a more responsible working. It is to be honored that the bill will be approved by the legislature unless some other more desirable plan for the control of the educational institutions is devised. At the Concert Bru Dick Matthews By Dick Matthews Without a doubt the concert of the University orchestra last Thursday evening deserved the favorable comment which was beamed upon it by an organist, a conductor, and a chapel. Upon a comparative basis with itself it deserved praise; compared with other orchestras it might have done better, but the work of evening was so far superior to that in the past that it merited the criticism. Opening with Boethoven's "Fifth Symphony," Karl Andriset led the orchestra through a program which in many respects was more pretentious than the ordinary concert of the Minneapolis Symphony orchestra. While most of the numbers were interpreted with a spirit and vigor which seemed to diminish somewhat in the last two parts. Although there was not always the finish of a professional orchestra, the audience enjoyed the moment of the student artista. At times he took an almost insult to its best it did justice to the composition and presented passages of real musical beauty. Of a contrasting nature was the symphonic poem, "Dame Macrabre" by Saint-Saens, which won instant popularity. The descriptive poem was well interpreted by the string sections though it was somewhat of a surprise to hear the dance of the skeletons interpreted on the strings and be done so much better with percussion, with percussion ever, the arrangement used was well unaffected with the exception of a few tunesages. Misa Mima B. D. Born, centralia, sang "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" from the opera "Samson and Delilah" by Saint-Saens. Her full rich tone evoked by the chorus of the orchestral accompaniment and the same time had the power to carry above the instruments to a pleasing degree. The program was closed with the march "Tamburini" by Wargarn. The brace sections announced the opening ceremony, which included a with a beautiful sofa for born area christens which was really well done. Caring at the end of a heavy program the ministries did well to maintain the strength and depth as they did. Mr. Andriet deserves much praise for the effort which he spent in preparation for the concert and with betties and more talent he can produce a concert which would withstand the next etiquette crisi- On Other Hills Entry reopeners on The Daily Texan have the much needed referral instinct, the Texan may every member of the beginning class was sent to cover Governor Ferguson's inauguration, and when the event was postponed 10.30 every member was inside and on the job.

Black satin appears every spring, but this spring it is quite the smallest of many years. The land tones range from pinky heige, which is ex- tremely flattering to the complexion, to almost an ivory.
