The Judy Kimanova aims to picture the undergraduate life of the University of Florida, where she sends up the news by standing for the ideals she promotes; to be clean; to be cheerful; to be kind; to serve her community; to more serious problems in water health; to serve to the heart of the ability to learn.
More science and less politics is the remedy suggested for Indian unrest. More politics and less oil for the government seems to have been the policy of United States officials.
"UNCLE JIMMY"
The Uncle Jimmy Green memoria-
status to be unveiled at commenceme-
nature represents a real tribute of the
student body. For the University as
a whole loved Uncle Jimmy, as well
"his boys."
Reverence the students had for many professors, admiration they had for others, but it was wholehearted love that they gave Unee Jimmy. Some criticism may have been directed at him by his colleagues on the faculty, or he wasn't at all the conventional demeanor. But to his students he was always a good scout, a ready counselor, and a true friend. The early history of Kansas' School of Law is interwoven with pleasant memories of genial Dean Green.
So when law students of after years gather on the steps of Green Hill opposite him will stand Uncle Jimmy's statue, a friendly figure. And some way it seems fitting that Uncle Jimmy should be back with his boys.
The University of Southern California has picked an "honor group" from its students. It would be interesting to know how large the group is.
DATES AND MATRIMONY
DATES AND MATRIMONY
The date rule of the University of Kansas is not democratic in the true sense of the word. Last summer a dear white haired old lady sat in the shade of the rose bushes blooming around her door, and gazed wistfully at her daughter preparing to leave for school. Here was her only girl leaving her probably forever, but the old lady was grave and held back the tears for at last her daughter found a suitable husband from the ranks of prospective males found at the University.
The old lady down in central Kansas is just one of the hundreds of mothers who weep as they kiss their daughters goodbye and send them to school to find a husband who will be an ideal companion through life. They are broken hearted upon parting with their girls, but bear up under the tribulations and trials in life secure in the knowledge that their offspring shall have a happy future. It is the sacrifice that mothers are making the world over for their children.
Then comes a harsh date rule, composed by hard-faced old maids and sour visaged left-overs who not could swain aboard the train of love and pluck off a husband. Years have passed by swiftly for them as they buried themselves in a book, and at last the day came when they found time too heavy on their hands and came to the University. Here they started to rule with the same spirit that urged them on in antitabozo campaign back home. The date rule is the result. Why should youthful unideals send up here to grab off a millionaire's son be refused the right to press their case every night in the week, but be held to three nights, which is not enough. Sixty-five per cent of the women in K. U. are here to replenish the family larder by making a good
crash while tarring them among us.
Why deny them their chosen goal?
Who can say that a man should be denied the right to study? That is what he comes here for. Then if a woman comes here to get married, who can say that she should not have the privilege of pushing her suit throughout the week? The date rule should be abolished.
So say the men of the University!
A native of Mineral Point, Mo., has written the mayor of Jefferson City, asking him to arrest his wife, whereabouts unknown, a young woman "with four teeth out in the upper part." Another lucky guy who does not realize it.
FOR ALMA MATER
Less than four weeks, and home again! Home, to show to the folks what the University of Kansas has succeeded in accomplishing so far.
Will we return with an apparent nonshillish which will cause some of our friends to go to other schools? Or will we strive to readjust ourselves as quickly and as quietly as possible, to the old home town? Will we act as humble as may be, relying on those things which cannot but be seen to show we have been away to college?
Will there be a number of outstanding debts to plague us during the summer, and ruin our reputations? Or will we live up to our duty and get our accounts all settled before we go? Will we bring about breaking the date rule, about all the wickedness we know of or can imagine, or will we give a true impression of life at the University?
Let us remember—the honor of the University of Kansas!
Norway favors changing the name of her capital city from Christiansia to "Olea." But that wouldn't make it any earl for Americans to pronounce.
A plague of hard luck seems to have hit the funny paper world; Andy and Min are estranged and separated; Barney Google has lost an international horse race; Skeezo has been elkmanped Teemu Uncle Walt; and Mike Mulligan has queered himself with Winnim and Eleanor. Something must be done about all this.
THE NEWSPAPER IN REEL LIFE
At last the newspaper has come into its own. Scarcely a week passes that one of the local movie emporiums does not show a film in which a more or less realistic view of the inner workings of a big newspaper office plays an important part.
No more need the jaded public rely upon the custard pie comedy and the eternal triangle for its screenie entertainment. The "cub" reporter has taken his place with the starry eyed heroine, the big-eyed bathing beauty, the evil-eyed villain, and the cross-eyed comedian in the celluloid hall of fame.
True, the newswapperman of the films has some characteristics which are not to be commanded—as a reporter, he is bald and full of brass and absolutely without a heart; the wrecking of homes and routines means nothing to him when he secretes a big story. As an editor, too, he is noun般 presented as a choleric, irascible individual, unseeth of appearance, story of heart, and unseparably connected with a huge and evil looking cigar. Nevertheless, any kind of recognition is better than no recognition at all, and the Kansan glories in the entrance of the press into the silent drama.
A boy of ten, travelling alone from Australia, arrives in San Francisco, only to find that his mother has instructed the hotel keeper to give him a bath immediately upon arrival. And thus another foreigner is disappointed with Amerien.

Will you kindly explain to me and to others similarly minded just where Chancellor Lindley gets the justification for some of the statements he made in his educational haranguat at the honors convocation Monday? He said a few things on that occasion that got under the skin of a large number of students. From the comments heard on all sides.
Editor Daily Kansan;
According to Chancellor Lindley, every student who is not mentally inferior should make "A" in all his subjects. That being the case, how does the Chancellor justify the law of averages whereby it is customary to divide a class into percent each of A's, B's, C's, D's and F's? According to such a system, so many A's will be given no matter how intelligent the members

of the class may be. Furthermore, there is many a man with grade A intelligence who finds it necessary to have a high school degree or dearmont of his scholastic ranking.
The Chancellor continues that a grade of B indicates that the student is simply a phonographic record. The professor, in that always the fault of the student, or might it not in some instances be due to the fact that some professors refuse to accept such grades, then their own, non-grade accordingly?

To Bob-or Not to Bob?
Gloria Swanson with her new borish bob
DEANS of great universities, leading hair-dressers, health authorities, screen and stage actresses express their views on this tantalizing question that is causing the greatest discussion American women have ever engaged in. One woman says the bob is barbaric. A noted hair-dresser fears bobbing will bring bald heads. Others defend it vigorously, while some call it the greatest boon ever conferred upon the fair sex. Their remarks, pro and con, reveal an amazing division of opinion in the first nationwide survey of this important subject.
"The Battle of Bobbed Hair"
If you are planning to have your hair hobbled don't do it until you see all the styles illustrated in June Photoplay. They are authoritative designs and give you a wide selection to choose from. One of them will be the one you will require if you want your bob to fit your head and face.
"Great Lovers of the Screen"
THERE is a kick in every kiss, whether it be on the screen or elsewhere. The thrill of being loved by others is part of what makes a barely fourteenpentiment actress.
es with amazing frankness. They tell
which stars are the greatest screen
lovers and why. Nothing as facinating
as this movie has ever been printed,
love making that has even been printed.
"The Kiss that Shocked the Sheiks"
RAMON NOVARRO and Alice Terry did it. They walked right out on the Sahara Desert and smacked the kiss that started pandemonium in the room. They kissed four wives and kiss them all at one if he wants to. But such a kiss as the
screen stars gave to other was too much for the real sheiks. They simply gargled Arabic in their excitement and their scream came wild. Herbert Howe tells all about it in his imitative style.

C is a creditible grade—the Chancellor tells us it is not a gentleman's grade. And as for D; well that is main indication of failure, we are told.
There is little doubt that most of us are capable of making higher grades than we do; nor is there any doubt that a high scholastic standar- d in college is more likely to be in college. Nevertheless, I feel that there are other things equally
worth while in the experiences and associations we make in the other activities to which we devote our time. Personally, I'd rather are a few C's and D's and enjoy a other associations than to devote them to academic activities to promote hours in of A's each semester and develop into a great student, or philosopher—or even, perchance, a Chancellor.
