BY THE WHISTLE WE LIVE-AND FLUNK
A Little Rope Does It
No, a man doesn't stand guard over a clock to see that quizzes stop on time or classes change at twenty minutes after every hour. It's a neat little invention that says when the whistle shall blow.
When the minute-hand of a large clock on the second floor of the power plant gets 'round to four, an electric circuit closes, ringing a series of large bells about the plant. Then, one of the engineers at work throws a cord outward and with the bells it continues and forty pounds of steam runs through the bell-shaped contrivance and havoc results in every class-room.
BEEN BLOWING 15 YEARS
Charles Griffith, chief engineer of the power plant, will tell you that this is the method in use for fifteen years and he cannot remember when the whistle didn't blow unless it was some other time that the apparatus was out of order.
"You see that bell-shaped shape of metal," he says pointing to the whistle, "well. the steam has to hit that bellow before it can pass right kind of a tone and if the edges are worn the result is a hoarse shriek. That's the same bell that was put fifteen years ago but every three or four cylinders the cylinders must be filled smooth.
"The clock system is necessary," he continued, "where we're all busy this way. We get into the habit of pulling the cord and can almost guess the time to but so accustomed do we become to the task that I often wonder several minutes after I've blown the whistle if I have really blown it and I am not sure I can see if the students are going back and forth to and from their classes."
When asked how the classes were warned before the whistle was installed, Griffith went to the door and looked out on the campus but seemed disappointed when he did not see what he was trying to find.
MUST HAVE GRAD WORK
"I thought I could locate one of those old posts that used to do the work but they're all gone now I guess. There used to be a master-clock over in Blake Hall and when the time came, a giant gong would ring in each building and the wires would be draped over the wires that would carry the electric charge to ring the bell. This method proved very unsatisfactory however. The nervous professor began to decry the gong because he "rude awakening." Then, too, there was never much assurance that the bells would be in order. If some plotting student wished to temporarily 'bail up' his classes his only trouble was to climb the poles and cut the wires."
Griffith glanced toward the sun and started back in the door when it seemed that there were a dozen bells ringing at the same time. "Here's how it works," he said and he grabs the spade-handle on the end of the cord and as he pulled down the familiar sound floated across the campus.
No American University Can Claim Full Standing Without It
"No American University can now claim full standing without providing for graduate education," says Dean F. W. Blackmar. "This is one of the chief marks of distinction in our American institutions, between a school and a university. However, no American university work have made it impossible to push graduate work in the University of Kansas."

There are, in general, three classes of students in the Graduate School. First, there are those who are preparing to teach in high schools or universities and wish to specialize in some line of work. This class of students is the majority and very few of them go further than a master's degree.
MAJORITY OF FUTURE TEACHERS
Another class of graduate students are preparing to do research work in the laboratories of public institutions or private corporations. Still others are seeking technical positions and want to prepare for that work.
TRAINS FOR INVESTIGATION
One of the greatest objects of the Graduate School are men and women to carry on research or investigation in a chosen scientific field. Many of the great discoveries which have made modern civilization possible have been brought about by graduate work at laboratories or educational institutions.
Enrollment in the Graduate School of the University, for the past year, has reached 260. So far the increase in enrollment has been estimated as equal to 80 and 90 graduate degrees will be conferred at commencement this year.
K. U. HAS 600 ON DIAMOND
Baseball League Keep Students in Active Athletics
Nearly six hundred men are competing for positions of baseball teams at the NCAA championship.
This fact is disclosed by the summing up of the number of organized teams there are entered in the different intra-school联赛 together with the number of candidates on the Varsity and freshman squads.
The number of hopefuls on Coach McCarty's first team squad is forty. Approximately an equal number are trying for positions on the yearling aggregation directed by Coaches Bond and Sproull.
The Hash House league schedule has been completed with sixteen teams competing. The Pan-hellenic league has twelve teams, the inter-fraternity four teams and the professional fraternity six teams.
A conservative estimate is that at least twelve men are competing for positions on every one of the Hash House and fraternity aggregations. There are forty-one of these. Simons has said that 492 which added to the eighty on the Varsity and Freshman squads, brings the total up to 572.
Probably better evidence of the wide hold which baseball has taken at the University is the number of practice games going on. Saturday the regular schedules of the different universities are open space in Lawrence big enough to hold a baseball game will be busy until June.
The natural method, better known as the direct method, is one of the oldest methods of teaching German. "Instead of giving students a lot of grammatical rules to learn and a lot of hard reading and work of that nature, the employment of the natural method tries to teach students the most basic rules, with examples illustrating each rule. This is accomplished through copious practice of hearing, speaking, reading and writing the language thus trying to develop a feeling for the language and an instinctive feeling of what is right," said Prof. Harry Palmbuld, instructor in the department of German this morning. "We can't use this method if we want to speak time. It is a hard method to use but when properly taught proves very successful."
