The laying of the corner-stone of Westminster Hall again calls attention to the admirable way in which two of the religious denominations in Kansas have solved the problem of providing stricly religious education for their young people. Instead of taking up the burden of maintaining colleges provided with a complete curriculum, which on account of financial handicaps could never be better than second or third rate, they have established houses for religious instruction in Lawrence, where students may also make use of all the advantages afforded by the University of Kansas. The plan works to the benefit of everybody concerned More students make use of the facilities provided by the state in the University than otherwise would and the church people who are taxpayers, are saved the waste of keeping up two educational institutions where one does the work just as efficiently.
The Daily Nebraskan recently published an honor roll of those professors and instructors who dismiss their classes promptly at the close of the recitation hour. That might be a good plan at the University of Kansas. The first few minutes of many class periods are disturbed by students trooping in from previous classes which held overtime. Then, too as long as it is known that there are instructors in the University who keep classes later than they should, the University fussers will steal a few minutes for conversation with their fair ones and charge the time up to one of the professors aforesaid if an explanation is asked for.
While the regulation of room
ing houses in which University students—and particularly women students—make their homes during the school year, probably never will be enthusiastically approved by all landlords and landladies, it is nevertheless an important matter. The amount of regulation must increase rather than lessen for some time to come. This is one of the matters in Which the Women's Student Government association has interested itself, to the betterment of University conditions.
Women students should take a keen interest in the approaching election of officers of the Women's Student Government association, for the coming year. The women's association has done much creditable work in the year of its existence, probably the most creditable being the establishment of a scholarship, which will help some girl through school. The election is important. The work so well begun should be left in competent hands.
Mr. Challis's remark in his chapel talk Friday morning that "archery beats rolling cigarettes as a form of exercise," will have but little weight with those students who might ponder it to best advantage. It will be a long time probably before it will be fashionable to wear fingers that are abraded by the bow-string rather than delicately tinted with nicotine.
By winning the inter-class meet, the freshman athletes have set a high standard for the class to live up to. Members of the class who are engaged in other activities will doubtless try to reach the high degree of excellence which the athletes have shown.
It is said that the method by which the schools in the Missouri Valley Conference will avoid viin which the new rule prohibiting the hiring of short-term coaches really is not a joke, though some people cannot repress their smiles when they think of it.
"It's all right to pardon the poets," says Walt Mason, "but if the officers ever succeed in getting a slogan-maker into the penentiary no elemeney should be shown." Agreed, if that includes the man who invented the "Beat Kansas" slogan.
Received Yesterday by Department of Zoology.
SNAKES AND LIZARDS.
The department of zoology received a collection of frogs, snakes, and lizards yesterday from Professor W. A. Hurter, curator of St. Louis Academy of Science.
Seventy-five species were contained in the collection. Thirty of them are new additions for the department. One of the most valuable snakes is called "Negraserpentis." It is black in color and about twelve feet in length.
The collection is on exhibit in the zoological storcroom, and in room 206 Snow hall.
The Switching of Tails.
Lawrence Gazette.
The promoters of Halley's comen insist that their prodigy has a tail fifteen million miles long. Men who in their youth were wont to milk the cows in fly-time, are the only ones who can have a realization of what it would mean to us to have Halley's pet switch that tail around the earth.
