SOMETHING NEW AT K.
GRADE THE PROFS
THE TRUTH
Why?—Because the whole of college life would receive the most far reaching benefits.
How!—In the following ways:
1. By improvement of instructional service through the student criticism.
2. By the professors' criticism of himself.
2. By improvement of scholarship resulting from students' critical analysis of educational values.
(Hold in strict confidence)
3. By giving honor where honor lies, thus encouraging that type of professional efforts which students helpedful.
Let us consider for a little while the first of these "hawks."
2. Suggestions for improvement of the confinement
As to the improvement of instructional service the question may fairly be asked, "Can professors continue year after year to render the highest type of service without frequently changing their knowledge value of their courses?" Many K. U. professors ask students in the final examination to criticize the content and method of their course, and students should be encouraged students to refrain from registering an honest opinion. In fact the system often encourages dishonesty. We often praise the work when we are pleased with a student's answer. Why shouldn't we "play up" the professor for a grade when it is the professor that sets the term? It is the system that is wrong and underrated of student either or morals.
The proposed system of grading the profs would change the present situation. A good many professors would have to accept their approval of the idea. The following outline will show how the plan could be worked out, and that it could be made more common. Our candidates are pledged to work for this plan if the students 'avoid it'. The system could be applied by the Men's Student Council

keeping in mind such qualities as: comm unic f subject, teaching skill, professional im unic of subject, being capable of susceptibility and sympathy with student their problems, register your best apti on
4. Registration of a grade for each professor, by the student, on a card of the following nature:
Name of Course Number When taken Grade
Professor's Grade Card (reverse side)
Register below:
1. The professor's commendable quality
1. The professor's commendable qualities
3. The results for each professor could be compiled from these cards in the coursebook, which will include with special冠章 on the suggestions for improvement.
4. Each professor should then be presented with the above summary.
Cheerleader?——Yes!
and above summary.
The fair minded professor, who is interested in the continuous improvement of his work would welcome the opportunity to get the opinion of his students on these matters. It would furnish a check on his work and indicate his work. The result would be a tendency to improve instructional services. Grades stimulate the students. Wouldn't they stimulate the professors? That would be real democracy. Tomorrow we can see how such program for the improvement of campus scholarship.
For cheerleader we have chosen a man whom we know is a leader in every sense of the word, and one who is very active in activities. We would like to call attention to the fact that Roy is a Sophomore and will be for two years more. That is an advantage that makes choosing a man for such a position.
Raynolds is a Sophomore in the College, and has displayed his ability in numerous organizations. He has strengthened the bass section of the band by his singing and by the way, he will be able to lead us in the good old song, "The Crismon and the Blue." That is no mean accomplishment in itself. But the band's departure of Puff and Scroll. This shows he has the ability to express himself in wr articles. He is a member of the debate team which goes to Colorado for the state championship that he might be able to express himself orally.
As further evidence of his leadership we might mention that Roy was a member of Sphinx, the Freshman honorary society for men. He has been active in Y. M. C. A. work, having served as Finance Chairman of Religious institutions he has filled position of secondary school life which we would like to enumerate if we had the space and the time.
He proved the worth of his voice in the Tittle Convocation recently when he made himself heard by the crowd. Roy has been an athlete in his day, and knows the value of organized cheering to the athlete themselves. Roy has been an athlete who have Pop? Say folks. Do we own the Valley? All together now-Yest

college officers. We feel sure that on the principle of "honor to whom honor is due" Pass Davis will be elected to this honorary position. It is a well known fact to all of the students that the position is only one
of honor, requires very little time, but is a place to which none but the most deserving and capable should be placed. A good president of the college.
Lilian Bickly will make an excellent Secretary-Treasurer for the College. She has done things on the hill that prove her ability. We need not tell you what she has done, nor who she is. Everyone known Lillian. Her ability and her friendiness combine to form that rate personality which she will be able to take care of this office in a capable manner.
As a good running mate for Davis we have Victor Hill. Vick is a man who loves his team. He bandle him. If you don't believe it just try him. He was on the football squad this year, and was very well known to the squad. You know Vie. He was considered to be one of the best of the Ki U. wrestlers during the present season.
College Representatives
Do you know all of our candidates for college representatives? If not you have failed to meet some of the leaders of the campus. First we present Walker Means. Of course he is well on the council. He was secretary of the Y. M. C. A. the past year, and is president of the "Y" now. He is a member of Alpha Kappa Ful, professional economics fraternity. He years ago did some officer work at the squand. Walker was the president of Pen and Scroll, and is now a member of Rhadamanti. Means was a member of the Jayhawk staff years ago and did some office work as a member of Owl Society, and has been elected an foreign advertising manager of the next issue of the Sour Owl. You can't go wrong on a man who has proven his worth in so many ways. He is a member of the student body in every way possible if elected to the council. Next we present Ed Butterfield. He has been one of the loyal supporters of our teams as a member of Ku Ku chapter of Squirrel Pi. He is a member of Sphinx freshman society. He is an excellent student, but won't even admit to himself that he is Phi Beta Kappa material. Our point is that he is not so smart that he is cheerful. He will serve well on the council. There should be elected this spring. Let's try Ed a while.
We present for your approval Howard "Tuffy" Grady, the smallest K man that the school had in all the years of the red sweaters. Grady is the best little runner we have ever seen. And what makes him a good runner? He has that rare persistence, determination, grit, and loyalty that make for a great personality. Are not these the points that make a good official in government affairs? Grady uses his
BLACK MASK
rains for thinking, and when he has formed his opinion he will not be influenced by any wrong influence. "I know we can depend on Grady."
Frank Rost is the next man we have to present. He is a De Molay, Frank was trying out for cross country and he joined the finance campaigns we have had on the hill this year. Rost is a Junior in the college and has been working with the team came to K. U. He will have plenty of time to devote to the council job when he is elected. You won't go home when you indorse Rost as a candidate.
Paging Cey Moyer. Yes, we have a hand man in our line-up. Cy has been helping Mac in pepping up the old stunts. He is still stilling the old ginger into the rooters at the games and other like stunts. Cy has been in the bind two years and he has no intentions of taking over. Cy has Phi Mu Alpha. Cy is a man that has very few outside interests, and could deviate a great deal of thought and effort to student government, but will represent you—we present Cy.
Lastly we present to you Peter Wetly as a candidate for college representative. Pete is a good student, and he has helped his steps of his elder brother in scholarship. He was one of the Kansas Relays Manageres last year. As to personality—he can't be best. You have to be good. And for him. He is a fraternity man, and a credit to his organization Pete has all of those qualities of leadership which go to make a man an efficient leader. And he is a relay manager's team.
These candidates were the choice of the student elected committee. You helped to nominate the committee from the list of 19 who were suggested for that committee. That far you were interested in the idea, but you are not a committee submits for your approval. There are no better men on the hill. There are others as good, but none better. We ask you to compare these men together with their platform, with any and all other candidates and their platforms. We shall have more to say tomorrow about other candidates. We shall have a word to say about the political system here in our statements Wednesday. It will be worth watching for.
Tucker Ryan, Campaign Manager.
Don't forget the Black Mask Meeting in Meyers Hall at 7:39 Tuesday night. Any and all students of the University are asked to come to the meeting. The platform issues of the party will be discussed, and some of the candidates will ask. Everybody out!
