All labors except university students have an eight hour day. Here is a chance for some good, honest reformer.
Records show that during the Middle Diaea a student at Oxford spent $12.29 in his entire college year. But that was before the price of gasoline went up.
Tempus Fugits, the HISP's basic student, pauses between lunch and at 1:30 class to estimate that three classes with 2,000 pages of outside reading per class divided by three committee meetings a week and multiplied by one vansity dance and two movies equals at least five hours of flunks.
BOXING
It is expected that boxing will become recognized as one of the leading minor sports at Kansas this year. Last year a varsity team was formed; and, while it engaged in outside meets it met no Valley teams. Even with no prospect of a "K" sweater, the men worked hard under the capable instruction of Coach Tommy Dixon and managed to tie the Kansas City Athletic Club team, which was one of the strongest in this section of the country.
This year things look much better for the boxing. A meet is already scheduled with Anes, and there are prepares of meets with the Kansas Aggies and Oklahoma. While the Valley conference failed to adopt boxing, mainly because of the arguments advanced by two of the schools, there is no reason why those schools which are interested in the sport should not go ahead and have contests among themselves.
If the Kansas men do engage in meets with other Valley schools, it is only fair that those qualified should receive a "K" sweater as are now awarded in golf, wrestling, tennis and cross-country.
some people get their mental gymnastics so far mixed as to stretch their imaginations and think they are broadening their minds.
DIGNITY OR POMPOSITY?
If folks would not go around telling how "swamped" they are, they would have less to do.
DIGNITY OR POMPOSITY?
A new "Five Hundred" is to be chosen by certain persons in New York who, of course, are capable of judging just who in this country is fitted, by intellect and dignity, to be in the sacred circle. (One can scarely call it group, because that snacks too much of the common crowd.)
Dignity, they say, is one of the essential requisites; and without that one is, in the phraseology of the common herd, "out of luck" so far as the "Five hundred" is concerned.
Somehow or other this selection of the "Five Hundred" on the basis of dignity seems to have complications. Dignity has a double, whose name is Pomposity, and it is often quite serious when Pomposity is mistaken for Dignity.
But of course the organizers of the "Five Hundred" will never get the two mixed, so why go on?

ASSIGNED READINGS
Assigned readings and yet more assigned readings. We read pages upon pages of them, yet we never reach the end. Through whole sentences we strive to complete them in order that we may have a little time left over when we may read some of the books we find in the library that we'd really like to look into; but, alas, we never reach the goal for which we struggle.
And what does all this fleevish reading and note-taking amount to? It merely means that we set down in our notebook counts of many writers to be crammed the night before the final examination in order that we may set it down in a quix book and receive credit for the course. Then we forget most of the assigned reading so painstakingly done.
For the space of four years we have access to the University library with its servers of knowledge. We find many things we want to read and we promise ourselves to read them some day—as soon as we can catch up on our assigned readings. The weeks and semester slip by. Before we know it, we approach the end of our college course, still swamped with assigned readings. Then we realize that the store of knowledge is not for us to enjoy, except for those portions dolled out by our instructors as assigned readings. There is no chance to use our own judgment is selecting readings and no opportunity to find knowledge for ourselves.
The Timed Young Co-Ed says that she can't understand why her English professor called her sentences trite. She said the same phrases 'many times' and in good books too.
LECTURE COURTESY
It was a real privilege to the students of the University to have Joseph Washington Hall (Upton Chere) speak to them. His adventures in China were exceedingly interesting and informative. But it seemed very important that his whole lecture had to be interrupted by discounten men and women.
Currency should be one of the most deeply rooted characteristics of university students. But apparently this is not no, or it certainly was not demonstrated at the lecture Wednesday. For an hour after Mr. Hall had started to speak, students struggled in the chapel, first from one door and then from the other, causing a steady disturbance.
This impoliteness might have been overlooked by the speaker had it been all, but it was only half. Hardly had the last lute琴ater seated himself when a couple of students left. That was only a beginning, for from that moment until the end of the lecture net less than fifty men and women left. One would not think of walking away from a person who was talking to him. Then why do students leave while a lecturer is speaking? It is just as impolite.
It was not only discounted, but it was irreasible. It is true that this particular lecture did last longer than usual, but that was not the question. Could not those students have sacrificed a little of their time to be respectful to the speaker? Not only was the situation annoying to Mr. Hall, but it was disturbing the rest of the audience who were really interested in the lecture.
Such discourse acts certainly give a visitor an understated impression of the University. In addition to a student's obligation to his professor, a visitor also
school, he has an obligation to himself. He is really weakening his own character every time he allows himself to disregard others in order to satisfy his own desire.
For Egypt to be gipped is nothing out of the ordinary. Her very name leads us to exsct it. Just as Greece gets hurmed every once in a while.
A New Student news dispatch that we publish elsewhere in this issue brings to our the information that the University of Kansas has added dinging to its curriculum. This was done in response to a request from the students' self-government association of the University. There are two forms of exercise and an excellent form of amusement, but it is very debatable whether the teaching of it should find a place in a university

**************************
Editor of the Daily Kansan;
A reflection upon the University of Kansas appeared in an article in the *Priory issue* of the Kansas under the *Hot Night Sensation* for itself.
CAMPUS OPINION
Anyone who has ever worked in the shop knows that it is not a "sweet shop." It is one of the best working places in Lawrences.
This article calls the Department of Journalism Press a "sweat shop". This not only is a punishment upon the press but upon it Gay M. Pennick, the superintendent,
CONVOCATION
The Student Friendship convention at 10 o'clock Monday in Ribbonwood symposium is an all-University event, and the class schedules for the morning sessions are available.
Also, the person that wore the "nightmare sweater" is not an employee of the Journalism Press. He is a student on the Hill.
The University of Minnesota boasts of the largest college daily newspaper. It has sixteen pages every issue. It carries strictly college instruction is prepared by college students. It has a circulation of 15,000.
Miss Ruth Cross, an alumna of Texas University and author of "The Golden Coconut," approves the "flaming youth" type of modern college girl. She believes, even though she commits a few acts that are wrong, that she is essentially a frer, finer, more capable woman than too college woman of a few years ago, buildings.

curriculum. Certainly the fact that it is recognized as one of the foremost forms of social entertainment does not warrant its being listed among the subjects taught at a college.
We in this northern country, treat dancing as a pleasant diversion. We go to the theaters and admire the rhythmic movement of exponents of the art. But we are not yet put into practice; although we dance to place it side by side in n college curriculum with courses in Shakespeare or moral philosophy. Probably our ideas on the subject are antiquated; there is even the likelihood that we are not "bleeding into" the changes in our outlook a few more years in this highly-evolved civilization may bring? If gifted with prophetic vision we might see in two decades hence universities in the more advanced countries turning out interested in chimpanzee swims, while we slower in overcoming our conservative idea; may be taking courses in dancing.
—MeGill Daily, Montreal, Canada
It is true that Kansas has added this course only as an "extral" and that a small additional fee is exigible for the privilege of joining this class which "is open to beginners in three areas of study." To learn the fundamentals of good dancing, but the mere fact that the course is being sponsored and directed by the University government, leads us to believe that this institution of higher learning has taken a step in the wrong direction. When pondered over with ideas of dancing be taught at a university become almost ridiculous.
I have worked in the Journalism Press for almost three years and I have never yet seen that could even be called sweet shop com

"Snow Checks"
Harry Jones came to K. U. for his first time. Following the course of others, he opened a checking account, with us.
Merchant and credit associations classified him as a "deadbeat." He was raised as far as credit was concerned.
Several months later, he proved careless by writing checks without funds to cover them. They were returned to merchants who called on him to redeem them.
Be careful when you write checks—see that your balance covers it. There is no easier way to destroy your credit in Lawrence than by writing “now checks.”
