The India Kisan arena is to picture the undergraduate life of the CEC-valley at Indira Gandhi College. In this way the map by standing for the desire to be an artist, for the desire to be clean; to be cheerful; to be charitable; to solve problems in underwear; all to wipe up the host of the abilities that we all need.
The establishment of a wooden mill is suggested to relieve Hawaii's lack of employment. One would think from seeing musical comedies that wool clothing would be the last thing Hawaii desires.

HONOR STUDENTS
Scholarship in the University has always been recognized by professional praise, election to certain societies, and homage from special groups. But never until this morning has the University of Kansas risen as a unit to accord honor to her student awards.
Many of the hundred old whose collegiate work has won for their places of highest rank in their classes have become known to classmates for other remonents. They have been prominent in social life, politics, and other Hill activities.
Others have made no spectacular bursts of accomplishment. They have gone their way quietly, never playing to the grandstand. As they rose today in the audience recognized with surprise fellow students whose achievements they had never suspectd.
Not many of these honored today are the proverbal college grinder who perch on the edge of their chairs, flattering the pages of their voluminous notebooks, and expounding the lesson in polysyllabic phrases. They're just a few of our fellow students who, by their own efforts, have drawn themselves to the foreground in college accomplishments.
May the Honor convocation become an annual Kansas tradition, and may the honor students always merit their honors as truly as do those of the class of 1924.
"Cheer up," says the calendar for the month of May, "The worst is yet to come."
"THE GRAND OLD MAN"
"The Grand Old Man of Kansas," Dwight Foster Coburn, died yesterday. His forty-seven years of service for the state have ended and Kansas mourns.
The late veteran Kanass farmer and author is the sort of man that one wants to claim as a pioneer. The story is told that he walked into the state because he didn't have enough fare to buy any other type of travelable ticket.
He first took a job as helper on a farm but soon launched into business for himself. He became a farmer but did not keep it up for long because he said that his "theory of farming was more successful than his practice of farming" and he became a prolific writer of agricultural articles of newspapers. His notable work was contained in the Live Stock Indicator of which he became editor.
With the administration of the first Democratic governor of Kansas, George W. Glick, Coburn was appointed as a member of the board of regents of the state agricultural college. A gradual advance in political lines soon brought him opposition from the state politicians. But that he didn't stop his activity. He advertisised his loved state despite the slurs of his enemies who attributed political ambition to his position.
His last position before retiring from active life was the secretary-ship of the Kansas state board of agriculture. Publicity and truth found its way from this office through the efforts of Colburn. A proclaimer of Kansas with its best side shown to the public did his part in the secretary's office. He took issue with the writers who made light of the new state never allowing them to score the state unfairly.
Only ill health stopped his activity.
And now he has given up the long battle of months against death.
Rightly, Foster Coburn, was a Kan
sas leader.
--for those with such an averager.
Surely it would make for higher scholarship and more consistent work than the mad cramming which every one knows take place in the majority of cases at the end of the semester.
Archeis and Kermit Roosevelt helped an Arabian skib through the inquiries at Ellis Island, the other day. We'll bet he knows something about the oil scandal.
THE LIBRARY—PRISON OR PARADISE?
Rare is the student who can thread his way through the labyrinth of the stacks of Spooner library, without wishing that he might be consigned to such a place for eternity. There at his command the thoughts of the great men of the ages, catalogued for his convenience.
But the influence of materialistic efficiency has invaded our schools, too, and in the mad rush to fill the four years with cut-and-dressed courses, specialized training and artificial recreation, little time is left the student for private communication with the master minds on the subjects nearest his heart.
Perhaps it is the price of progress.
Perhaps it will mean a prolongation of infancy, as the sociologists would say, in the near future. At any rate, there is something wrong, and it must be adjusted, if the student is to have an education, in the truest sense of the word.

That shouldn't bother them; we hear that they always do things backwards and upside down there, anyhow.
GO TO SCHOOL
The nation is soley in need of intelligent men and women, who are able to decide questions for themselves, instead of merely following time wars examples of what is best, or following radicals blindly without consideration of what that following will lead to. These citizens are needed and it makes no difference their color as long as they are voters.
To obtain such citizenship, education must at least be a basis, although it does not in itself accomplish such an end. The neuros of Americans are not only educating themselves, but with much enthusiasm are carrying on a campaign to better their race. In this way they will bring about a higher standard of living for their people, thus enabling them to have chance to develop to their highest capacity as well as a race.
CONSISTENT STUDYING O CRAMMING?
Pansy says, "The more classes have under some professors, the moi I appreciate others."
Final examinations approach. Many students await them in fear and trembling, others look upon them calmly and believe in fate. Phi Beta Kappas and students on probation take the same examinations, as those who have had only fair grades during their four-year soljourn at the University of Kansas. Is it a wonder that many seniors feel a bit of lurking resentment when they are forced to take final examinations, and wonder why it is that after students have been here four years the authorities do not know whether or not they should grant their degrees?
Seniors are tired. There is much to be done here at school and much to think about when they are searching for some position in which they can make an attempt to show the world that four years at a state university have not been wasted. Finals take time, thought and concentration and these things are hard to obtain when seniors are experiencing that half frightened, half excited sensation which only seniors, who know they are now "on their own," can feel. Two schools on the Hill have passed resolutions that no senior making a grade of B or above should be required to take the final examinations. isn't there some way for the College to decide upon a system by which more quizzes could be given during the semester and do away with finals
A California man has papered two rooms of his house with canceled two cent stamps. Parsy says the man was once a University student and it all began just before the spring finals.
Judge Gary says that the worst thing we have in this country is the congress. Evidently he has never taken finals.
Thirty-eight Chinese were convicted of piracy recently and executed by the Chinese authorities. We thought Captain Kidd and Treasury Island were all that remained of pirates.

in it. You could look through it like a well and see the real world lying beyond. But the theorist could see only the web which he had spun. Knowing did not come by speculating, theorizing. Knowing came by seeing. Vision was the only real knowledge. To see the world, the whole world as it really is, to look behind the scenes, to read human life like a book, that was the glorious thing—most satisfying, divine.”—Henry V丹妮.

DISCERNING women have learned that it pays to buy such fine quality lingerie as LUXITE. The moment one sees and feels its incomparable rich silk the quality is apparent; also, its genuine economy must not be forgotten. A LUXITE pure silk garment will outwear a number of flimsy cheap ones. The closely woven, heavy silk threads resist hard wear, while the extra length and fullness give it lasting comfort despite constant laundering.
Graduation time will soon be here and there will be presents to buy. What could be a more acceptable gift than this. Come in and look over our line. We will be pleased to show you.
