Good Political System Here
Good Political System Here
The University of Kansas is about
defending politics in the election of
W. S. G. A. officers and council. 1
other schools they have nominating
committees and mass meetings. As
a result there is often difficulty in
international, interest, according to Miss
Tempey.
Dr. Stratton D. Brooks, president of the University of Missouri, and Dean Jennie Leach Pridrayd of that University spoke at the opening session of the conference. Other speakers during the meeting were Miss Mia Weeks, of Kansas City, and Margaret from the represented universities.
The delegates were entertained at the sorority houses. The W. A. A. of Missouri entertained with vaudeville; Miss Jessie Burdell of Stephen College entertained a tea and a second banquet was held at the Dalton Boone taverne.
Times Change but Still Spring Is the Favorite Season for Jayhawkers
Spring has always been the favorite of Mt. Orenderds, if we are to be love what the old grads tell us. Of course, thirty years ago the season hnd so much adornments as golf kikers in Portland and Poe dressed stretchtinct out and wet, designated somewhat vaguely as the Fort to Fort.
But then there were compensations—no date rule, for instance, and nice gentle mags to pull the comfortable but often decrepit burgles on the rent from which livery stables keepers retired annually. Who reeve to decide upon the comparative merits of the old and new methods of transportation when the best in the industry have in controversy over it for years. The reins-wrapped 'round-the-wip scheme has among its supporters some of the ablest leaders of the city.
Five Soloists to Make Final Appearance in Glee Club Program
Annual Spring Concert Will Be in Fraser Chapel Next Wednesday
Three of the men have been with the club four years: Earl Miller, fa24, bass soloist and member of the quartet; Martin Hall, fa24, tenor soloist and member of the quartet; and Kenneth Miller, ca24, baritone soloist, member of the quartet, and violin player; and John Barstow, gr24, bass soloist, have been with the club during the last year.
Five of the soloists of the University Men's Glee Club will make their last appearance before a University audience as members of the club is the annual spring concert to be held in Praiser church Wednesday night.
The class of soloists in the club this year has been remarkably high for a University organization, according to Dean D. M. S. Warthouff, of the School of Fine Arts. During the spring tour of the club the prairie accorded to them in newspaper reports was hardly less enthusiastic than that given the club as a whole. Although no band had laid an audience singing in the concert Wednesday night, according to Prof. T. A. Larrmoreme, director, the soloists will also occupy a prominent part on the program.
Others who are making their last appearance with the club this year are Howard Firebaugh, c24; Earl Crushkau, c24; H. J. Kluftman, c24; Eve Roberts, c24; Carlson, c24; Francis Prieur, 193; and J. H. Mahany, c24.

More than 3,000 Y. W. C. A. members are expected at the convention, representing city, town, county, and school organizations.
Be that as it may, Spring is
Spring and there exist no successef
d substitutes for it. On sunshining S
unday after año *, thirty years ago, the
roads running o o of Lawrence were
known to the public by rigs of r carrying picnic dinner parties to Blue Mound and Cameron's Bluff and Lakeview and all the other shady, grassy places within condi-
radius. "Those were the days." Surely they must have been Seen. So we went to the grassy site, whether grass stain came off on clothes then, like it does now a white sport skirts and brand new "powder-blue" golf knickers; or wh ich ever ntats ever got in the potato salad; or the chirpers creep from the search in prey and found
Yet things haven't changed so much. Yesterday there were scenes of Sunday afternoon hikers—who packed their pound of steak and hit the pavement, a common attire for tramping. Of course the "belles" who rang out the nineteenth century would probably not have "hoofed it" and most certainly would not have donned knickers, but after all the principle of the thing is the same: somebody's move and the first step is towards the open.
Marvin Grove Is Gift of Graduates of 1877
"Chancellor Marvin suggested that the senior class should be responsible for the planting of a grove on a certain date and it was afterwards planted by his daughter Watson. "A whole day was spent in bringing in the trees and planting them. All of the University men drove a short distance into the country in the early morning and mostly elms, which they dug up from various places. All the girls were waiting and ready to help do the planting when the men returned. "The chancellor had asked the ten seniors to plant the first tree which would be planted with short speeches from each senior work was begun in general. The others were probably planted at that
"It was an April day in 1877 when the seniors of the University planted trees on the north slope of the campus and which is now call of Marvin grove," said Miss Carrie Watson, a member of the class.
"At that time we gave no thought to the idea of planting the grove," said Miss Watson, "but because the chancellor asked it and because of her interest in growing Of course it was a splendid, far sided idea of his but none of us realized it then. No special care was ever given to the young grove after it was set out but nature took care of 'the trees well and most of them were young' and seniors planted did not grow long so an accident happened to it."
Women's Glee Club Sings
"The concert given by the Women's Glee Club and which was the opening feature of music week, would be marked very high in interest and merit," said Dean D. M. Swatworth of the School of Fine Arts, this spring in speaking of the concert given Sunday afternoon in Praser chapel.
Concert Given Sunday Opens Music Week
"The various choral numbers under the direction of Dean Agnes Hbergwand were all given with a splendid attack and interpretation," he said.
The Legend of Miami by de Fonteynan was well received by the audience.
MONDAY, APRIL 28, 1924
"The beauty and quality of the group singing in this number was particularly worthy of comment and Miss Fanny May Ross as accompanist on the piano was most sympathetic," said Dean Swarthout.
"The two choral numbers composed by Prof. C. S. Skilton of the School of Fine Arts, "Midnight" and "The Fountain," written in an authoritative voice parts and were most carefully worked out and effectively rendered. "The two violin numbers, "Midnight," and "Serenade," by Goddard were well intertwined by Frances monsoon Hookins," said Dean Swarbront.

Movies Make Brain Lazy
Teacher's Explanations Needed in Visual Education
To educate entirely by moving pictures would cause deterioration or our mentality, believes Edward Mayer, secretary of the department of visual education of the University of California.
"Our eyes would do all the work and not our brains. As the pictures are used now, they stimulate a situation of making it lazy. But it will never be possible to give any course neatly by motion pictures, for a certain amount of explanation is necessary of the teacher." Mr. Mayer said.
"Movies in the schools are merely a supplement to textbooks, and it depends entirely on the teachers how much benefit they will do. One high school teacher condensed two weeks' work into three days by the use of a picture, and another instructor of the same subject said the teacher needed only one. There isn't any formula for the use of movies for teaching purposes. It depends completely on the individuality of the instructor.
"This supplement by movies takes more work and preparation on the part of the teacher, but it supplies things for the student and makes the effect more lasting." Mr. Mayer concluded.
