EDITORIAL COMMENT.
Still the reports are spreading over the state that the students of the University of Kansas are at the point of open rebellion from faculty control and one of the Kansas City papers even characterizes the movement as "Emancipation at Lawrence," and all this because of the unauthorized utterances of an indiscreet student who did not realize that he was talking to a newspaper man who was looking for a yellow story to spread broadcast over the state. Why the Lawrence editor should not have seen J. P. Hagerman or Bert Kennedy or someone at the meeting that had not been mixed up in the mandolin club episode and especially since the movement for student control has been pushed throughout the year by faculty men—these are the things we cannot understand.
The truth is that a committee of the faculty has been in correspondence with other universities all fall and winter and from time to time results of their inquiries have been printed in the Kansan to show the students how social and undergraduate affairs were managed at other institutions. Thus it is easily to be seen that the student movement is not an uprising against the faculty control but rather an awakening to the fact that the faculty does have some powers now which it would rather not have and which ought to be vested in the undergraduate body.
Probably nowhere in the United States has the choice of a Rhodes Scholar been made which is more in accord with the spirit in which the Rhodes
seniorships are given than that of George Putnam, who was this week chosen to represent Kansas at Oxford for the next three years. Putnam's record in the University of Kansas as a scholar, athlete, and worker in student affairs was an ideal one. He was an exceptionally good classical student. In athletics, he holds the Missouri Valley record of 145 feet for the hammer throw, and did exceptional work in one year's service on the football team. He served as a member of the athletic board. In class activities he took a prominent part, and appeared in the senior play. The number of his friends was limited only by the number of the people who knew him. The University is indeed fortunate in having a man of such broad attainments to represent it in the English university.
The question is, which was the freeze the other night more destructive to, the peaches or the spring suits?

COLLEGE DEANS UNITE.
Dean Templin Chosen President— Ten Universities Represented.
At a meeting of college deans held last week in Chicago, an association was formed of which Dean Templin was chosen president. The association includes ten universities of the northern and central states. Its object is a closer union of state universities for mutual help and suggestions. The Association is to hold its first annual meeting next year at the University of Wisconsin.
Preliminary Tennis Games.
A tennis tournament is being held among the students to pick the team which will represent the University in the intercollegiate series. No definite arrangements have as yet been made, but negotiations are on with both Missouri and Nebraska Universities, and tournaments with them will probably be arranged to take place some time during May.
Bulletin on Green Bugs.
Prof. S.J.Hunter, head of the entomology department, issued a bulletin this week in regard to the green bug problem in Kansas, based upon information received from various parts of the state. The report will be of interest to grain growers and dealers as it states that the green bug is nearly extinct.
