U. KARNIVAL The band played, the barkers blazenly announced their booths and the Teapot Dome scandal was revealed to the public. Students joisted faculty. They all rubbed elbows, Pandemionum was loose. For it was gala night on the Hill. The annual K. U. Karnival was in progress. It was the same old thing—the jokes, the fakes that everyone knew were going to be fake, but liked just the same, the vaudeville and the bald-headed row, which was filled before 8 o'clock. But what fun it was. Like a tonic it made everyone forget class room worries. All laughed hilariously, even screamed perhaps. --your years, We cannot see you; we are moving fast! And doing things another way so neat? Then he sat still, and through his hat, blinked It's all over now—that is, until next year. WHOLESALE EDUCATION Now that has convinced the public It's not a baseball team, the Club cub is having difficulty keeping Van off its trail. WHOLESALE EDUCATION The time has come, according to some instructors, to do away with the feeding of knowledge by the spoonful method and students. They escolculate methods should show initiative and dig out the learning they supposedly came after. The students certainly have to dig for them are generally loaded to the guards with semester assignments and realize that the only way to the surface is to fight it out. If students were ever taught by the spoonful method no knowledge of it remains with the present generation attending the University. The tendency now seems to be toward the lecture or wholesale method of instruction. Many classes are double the size they should be for efficiency. The instructor orates at length upon the topic and trusts that the people in front of him have enough of the old scholarship spirit to hammer out the essence and meaning of all the lectures and readings. University students do not need and do not ask for close personal supervision from each and every instructor. But they do ask for and have a right to a part in class discussion. And many never get such a privilege. There is no time for students to ask questions about vague sections of the subject, in the lecture room or after class in the office. If these questions turn out it is time to give them a tedious, and gives it the very minimum of aid. Everyone admits that "things are tightening down" and almost everyone will admit that there is a necessity for it. But—if factory methods of quantity production are allowed to exist, then a product worthy only of quantity production should be expected. If things are to tighten down, they should do so to the extent that this quantity production education would not be necessary. The fact that other institutions allow large classes to exist is no excuse for their use here. But if they are found to be an absolute necessity under present conditions then the students should be granted the benefit of the doubts which arise as to the efficiency of the method. "A blue streak of popularity" is heralded by an advertisement but most K. U. women can't imagine feeling blue about popularity. Poincaré has resisted on a vote of lack of confidence. Wonder if Daugherty can take a hint? WARRING PARENTS Four young men, three of whom were barely twenty-one years of age, and the fourth a few years older, were sentenced to death in Brooklyn for the delibereur murder and robbery of two bank messgers. Two of the boys had served prison terms and the other two had criminal records, but had not been caught. One of the boys came from a Protestant home, another from a Catholic home, and the other two wore Jews. Isn't it about time that the parents of the nation are ceasing their disputing and warring among themselves because of religious convictions, and attempting to teach to their children and live a few of the ideals which all three of the religious beliefs in their fundamental essence attempt to teach? March may think it's going out like a lamb, but the students who are taking mid-semester quizzes know better "Senator Named in Trial!"—breadline. Now that's odd. A senator mixd-up in legal trouble!

So much so is their time taken up that the purpose of finals is defeated, because, in a major or two courses, they are determined, and he has absorbed all the knowledge he will under that course, and the final will not serve as a test for success. In case of the average undergraduate, Examinations requiring review binder the senior, rather, and if he does not need review, why the extra time is needed? Other institutions have excused seniors, and the School of Engineering of the University reports no undesirable results from the plan, but rather a lasting spirit of friendship between the faculty and students.

On with the campaign! Let the best men win. We ask nothing of the voters but that they consider carefully and with due thought the men running for each office, and the program for which each candidate stands. We thank you! the School of Religion, the keeper of the sieumograph, the referee of St-ponner Library who calls "outside," and "church." Freaker, who will sit on it. Yours for the Razzberry, FESTUS There are five student members of the Athletic Board. Here they are for your approval. Merwin Graham, track athlete; Belgard coach; Ralph Bancroft, fame; "Cormy" Ashley, member of the Kansan board; Tom Law, non fraternity sport fan. We would like to call attention to the fact that the athletic members of the Kansan board are athletes, and 'the non-athletic members should be men who are interested in sports, and who will co-operate with the athletic department. These men meet the report of a workers for the job. Athletic Board Members —L. W. A. **STUDENT AMBITION** I want to go to Idaho And raisins raise by radio.

We wish to state that the meetings were Black Mask meetings, they were not intended for Pachacamac members, and we therefore did not allow Pachacamac members to vote in our Caucus meetings. There were representatives of the Pachacamac party in all of their meetings, and there as gathersers of information for their party, and were not allowed to participate. The Clothiers Are Right! We were pleased with the number of suggestions for candidates that were presented to the committees for consideration. We thank them up their recommendations and presented them at the Black Mask Caucus where 317 persons heard and approved their nominations and party they took the proposed list as submitted by each committee, and with the committee chairmen, and the officers of Black Mask drew on the final kick it as appears in this issue of *BMH*. BLACK MASK THE TRUTH New York Cleaners A Word in Retrospection A WELL PRESSED SUIT IS A GREAT ASSET We always say, "Buy good clothes"—but even if you have the best clothes that money can buy, you cannot look your best unless your clothes are clean and well pressed. You buy the good clothes; we are here to keep them looking good every minute of the day. A Word in Retrospection The Black Mask party began the season with a thoroughly thorough house-cleaning. The advice of as many students as could be reached was sought and the resulting criticism was reorganized. We announced our nominating netting, to which all Black Mask sympathizers were invited, and they were well attended. "It pays to dress well every minute of the day." The first thing to be done was to formulate a new constitution. This was done with the aid of a great teacher, and one of the two new students on the hill. When the new constitution had been adopted the new plans and the aims of the party were published in the Kansan. These were read by you and need not be seen. Phone 75 be a member of the board for next year. He is the best all-around athlete that Kansas now has. He placed among the first four in the competitions, and he was in the short time ago. He is the logical man for the place. Frenchey Belgard has demonstrated his worth on the basketball court this winter sufficiently well that we can play with him without feeling for the board. His record is a standing testimonial to the ability he has. He is a regular on the Valley Champsionship, and is prepared to compete with a multitude of other outdoor activities as will some of the candidates for this office. Frenchey will co-operate in every way. You "Corry" Ashley is a member of Sigma Delta Chi, the journalism fraternity. This means that he has exceptional journalistic ability. He has been sport editor of the Kansan, which shows that he is an expert in writing. He is advertising manager for the K. U. Karnival, and was advertising manager for "Betty Lou." "Cormy" is well qualified to take care of all of the public matters that will come up in the affairs of the Athletic Board, and he will get things right. Corry is right-handed as the athletic candidate for the Athletic Board, barring no one. Second to "Cormy" Ashley comes Tom Law. He lives in Lawrence, has been an ardent follower of all the sports since he was a little fellow in the grade schools, but in heart of heart, he is man that can be depended upon, and he will co-operate with all the other members of the board. You know Verne Pratt. He has run the mile race faster this year than any man has run the distance for Kansas. He even ran faster than the K. U. receiver to win both runs a good race for the athletic board. Verne is an all-round man, a coach of the Compitition club, a delegate to the international convention at Indiana last winter. Let's have Verne in off-licking. Our Platform i cards we use has been increase will many times. We offer our statement We will have a good bit to say about our platform later on. At present let us say that we have a chance of winning the contest. That the campaign is coating the candidates less than was charged by either party in any of the past elections of recent years and that it has been said in the past that the Black Mask party charged enormous prices for the campaign literature. Through efficient buying practices, we can move down to a lower rate than ever dreamed of, and the quality the Council Officers Jamie Warner Leland W.

We are opposed to "mud-selling" in election campaigns. 3. We favor the publication of campaigns expenses. 4. We are not in favor of running eligible athletes for certain offices which require a great deal of time. 5. We assume full responsibility for the party's actions. 8. We stand for the truth in politics. 9. We advocate a joint committee from the party to investigate the conduct of the campaign, and rules to be lived up to strictly after adoption. 10. We advocate a committee of the Junior and Senior members of our Society at the time of each election. 11. We advocate a point system, and believe a point system would be of service to the men of the country. 16. We are asking the support of all who favor such a program of constructive politics at the University of Kansas. There will be a meeting of the Black Mask party at Myers hall at 7:30 Tuesday evening. Any and all students of the University are invited. There will be a discussion of the platform issues, and statements from some of the candidates. to you, and promise that there will be a detailed report of the campaign within two weeks after election day. We thank you. Tucker Ryan, Manager. The man at the head of the Black Mask Test needs no introduction to the students on the bill. Wallaces has taught the school for cross country squads faithfully for three years, and after a great deal of hesitance has finally consented to serve the school as president of the college Council if you choose to elect him. Wallace will be in school all of next year, and will have a good bit of time to devote to the task if he is elected. He is ready to put across the constraints of his job, but he stands for (he will not be eligible for track or any other athletics and should make an efficient executive). You have all known of him in jacket, as vice president of his junior league, and as a representative on the council two years ago, as honor student in the two years ago, as captain of the rife team, and as an honor student in the junior league, and as a representative on the council two years ago, as honor student in the two years ago, as captain of the rife team, and as an honor student in the junior league, and as a representative on the council Look over our ticket, and see how many real men there are on it. Every student on the hill who has taken an interest in the progressive moves among students, knows Hanson, Dick was a delegate to the IndianaPollard Student Convention. He was chosen as President, Executive Council to promote a Student Conference which is to take place in Louisville, Kentucky this spring. He is a capable man for the office, and will work for the students. If you want a good man that has proven his worth, we feel confident that you will find Wallace is the man you are looking for. For secretary of the council we ask you to consider the qualifications of Ansel Mitchell. He is a good teacher, and his background is the sort of dependable man whom the University authorities pick for a job and then leave it to Ansel. They know it will be much easier for him to manage the manager of the Grip Graph last fall when you saw the games electrically. Mitchell was also the most efficient organizer and worker in the school he served as President if elected, he will serve you well. Our candidate for treasurer is Paul Rieniets. Let us look at his past record a little. Paul came from a small town and worked on a record for itself with the high school paper it publishes. Paul was connected with that paper in his childhood, and managed a number of his high school annual. And by the way, there was no BLACK MASK deficit when he closed accounts), He was president of his senior class, and president of his high school student class. His office, the university, he has kept up this enviable record. Paul is president of Black Helmut, and is a member of the Ku Ki chapter of Pi Epollon I School in choosing Paul for the job. For the job as First Vice-President consider the qualifications of Leland Browne. Leland is a student in the School of Engineering. He is member of Sigma Tau, professional engineering fraternity. Leland is a student in the School of Engineering upon to be where he is needed, and when he is needed. He was assistant business manager of the Kansa Engineer, was Sophomore manage of the Kansa Relays, and is not Junior manager of the Relays. Helen is number of Owl Society Island will certainly be a spendie vice-president. For cheerleader we have presented the only man on the hill that will make a good cheerleader. There is no other man in the student body who will Roy Raynolds. A man with a strong voice, a pleasing personality, a lak and more is what makes Raynolds that rare dependability which has been lacking in some of our past candidates. In what makes Raynolds the man who will lead the student in cheering our teams on to victory next fall. We could have picked a man who has been before the student body in more ways, who would have made social connections but who would be as efficient a cheerleader. Cope the candidates on dependability, personality, voice, ability—on any, or the other essentials of the job and how we connect to games next fall, led by the last voice of Roy Raynolds. 4 These are the logical men for the major offices. We take pleasure in presenting them to you. Tomorrow's meeting will be one of the other candidates. We have chosen the candidates solely on their merits. We have no organization behind such a candidate. Each one a candidate. We have more than one candidate from several fraternities, and we offer no apologies for this state of affairs. We know that simply because there is another good man from the same fraternity, We are not under obligation to any student who does not accept the student bid as a whole. Tomorrow we shall discuss some of the plans and the policies of party. We have something new to offer. Watch for it and register your approval or your disapproval at the meeting Tuesday evening.
