FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 29, 1924 A bit of mystery is concealed in a sentence from May's letter home. "It was a lovable parly." WHY...? Why is it that so many professors on the Hill persist in giving long reading assignments to their classes without first ascertaining whether or not there are enough of the prescribed books in the library to supply the demand? Do they realize how many books it takes to "go around" in a class of fifty or seventy? Do they make any attempt to find out if the library still has the references that it used to have in years gone by when these out-side readings were first given? Do they think that the students can afford to stay around the library all day, waiting to pounce upon the books as soon as someone else gets through with them. All these questions lead to one more: Why do they do it? The only way in which the Ku Klux Klan can get on the front page again is to show it has bought some oil stock. INVESTIGATING WITH CARE INVESTIGATING WITH CARE The American people welcome a thorough investigation of the oil scandal as a means of bringing an end to certain practices which have long been an evil of the United States political system. But the people are not getting the investigation which they desire. The rabid policy of political manipulation has entered into the Senate hearing, and it has narrowed down to a content as to what party can dig up the most scandal on its opponent. The public is used to gougongs from the men whom it places in office, but the last straw sometimes breaks the camel's back. The boss and the political king may step farther than they intended at first. A new system may have its roots in the vile misrepresentation of truth which the investigations committee insist upon hurling at the public as they search for a new angle against the opposite party. There are those who think that the u-n Republican or Democratic party are permanent institutions. To these people it sounds aburd that the busiest men and thinkers of the nation would leave their desks to take a band in the running of the nation's affairs. But who would have thought that the Labor party would rule England? If anyone had had the duelity to hunt such a condition twenty years ago, he would have been booted. Yet the Labor party has fled the front. No party can slap the public in the face forever, and no system of political misrule can live without a clean up somewhere along the line. It happens to be the Republicans who are in the deepest this time, but not the Democrats say that they are angels? A radical change is needed in American politics and a radical change will come. The party names may survive, but the party system will change. As long as the present condition exists, we cannot say that we are free. The novice student is undoubtedly the one who endures to get through a course in ethics by sheer cheating. A joke will sometimes get a class room laugh but it will never get an A. CHALLENGE TO K. U. For three weeks in March, the 11, 12, and 13, the University will find time to introspect and ask herself if she is really, actively Christian. The University is to hold her traditional K. U. Religious Week. As Karen Sponsored by the religious organizations of the campus and the city a series of religious meetings will be prescheduled to both college and town hall. Doctor Title of Evananton, III, will be the man who is to bring the inspiration to the campus. This man is widely known as one of the foremost religious educators in the country—a man who is well qualified to present the Christian challenge here. lenght here. We give his hearsens a glimpse of their responsibility along with an idea of their possibility and their capability to respond. He will open new fields of thought and action to his hearers who have been letting the year slip by without a realization of their duty and purpose in being here. Examples of obsolete, obsoletess end present thought for the paragrapher are: King Tut, Mah Jongge, Tope Dotpome. Calvin Coolidge is ahead of Washington and Lincoln in that their birthdays weren't celebrated while they were living as his is. (Mr. Coolidge was born July 4, 1872.) WHY IS FEBRUARY 29? The politician says it gives the presidential candidates an extra day in which to lay their wires. The flapper says it makes an extra date" night. The astronomer says it's all his doings. The student says it's a day thrown in to catch up on outside reading. The farmer says it's an extra day on which to get the spring plowing owe. We say it's twenty-four hours donated by Father Time, so use it in any way you see fit. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE? In a recent survey conducted by the Central Missouri State Teachers College in a half dozen Missouri towns, facts regarding genius and knowledge of the Bible were discovered. The children examined ranged in age from fifteen to twenty years and represented with a fair degree of accuracy the typical student of a small Missouri town. In the course of the questioning it developed that 16 per cent of the pupils did not know where Christ was born nor the name of His mother; 60 per cent did not know that James, Peter and John enjoyed the greater confidence of Jesus; 12 per cent did not know the first clause of the Lord's PraYer; and 65 per cent did not know the Golden Rule. the Good Friday. Appalling facts as the preceding makes one wonder where the faults. Should the responsibility rest upon the home, the school or the church for instruction in these fundamental of Christian life and other similar ones? Obviously, there is a responsibility for someone—a responsibility which has been woefully neglected. Who is to shoulder it and begin the remedy? True, there is a place for every college graduate but matrimony gets more than its share. Colgate University will be presented with a ten-million-year-old dinosaur egg at a cost of $5,000. That would be rather expensive ammunition for an Engineer-Law encounter, but perhaps K. U. is the only school where those are prevalent. Life life may be blessed to an egg. Son lays the plans then father him on them and spills them. Probably the reason some people have long noses is so they can see a long way ahead.

"A little more than a week ago I went on an excursion trip to the volcano over on the Island of Hawaii. It was especially active at this time, and although I could see some lava, I don't think I ever saw anything quite so impressive. Miss Hortierne McKaughan, A. B. 175, a former student in journalism, is now working on the Maii News at Walkup, Hawaii. She wrote that she has received Mr. S. L. Whitcomb of Lawrences, Miss McKaughan tells of her work and gives a vivid description of an active volcano crater that she has seen while she was visiting from her letter: Miss McKaughan is assistant editor of the Maii News. She writes that her work varies from writing articles and editing copy to circulating. The Volcano house stands at the very edge of Kilauea crater, nearly 3000 acres in extent and about 500 feet deep. The vast floor of the crater itself was composed of basalt and twisted lava. The hotel and a smoke of vapor shortly rising and forming into a huge unbrimmed-cloud cloud over the pit, over the entire crater floor were steam columns arising from cracks. "At the pit I was unwell, but when I saw what covered over the river, a whole thing was impossible. But there it was." About 100 feet below was a vast lake of molten, seething lava. Just below us a great fountain was playing, imagining you can, a geyser, imagine flowing in the air and seeing what looks to be surfaces of tar paper, but in reality is quickly cooled lava. A continuous performance. All over the lave lake were other fountains periodically appearing but not quite so high or so continuous as the big waterfall, and we never calm, but drifted toward the fountain centers. And occasionally we spirited up of being from the bank and we could stand only a moment at the brink. Through it all was a constant cooring, blinding, menacing tone which I cannot begin to understand. On Other Hills When darkness came the volcano was very spectacular. I thought it had been marvelous by day, but I was totally upended by night. The darkness Through the ever surging black crust were cracks of fire. They were constantly moving cracks that took on designs and patterns that were moving ing. In fact, laid out in current, now there were ingress strokes of lightning over its surface then a great octopus appeared, his body a fiery mountain, and he dredged or more reached all directions. The fourth playm- played—the big one regularly, the subsidiary ones spasmodically. The Goddess Pelo sang her—her song was sung by her song terror, she sang destruction. She laughed as she flung fire upward almost to the rim. Her voice was blushing, roaring, laughing, sometimes laughing, hsing, and to Pelo singing, the fountain paused and the lake of fire churned and changed its surface patterns. M. Charles L.
