SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
COMMENT
Heat and Compensation
You may mop your brow and say divers things unprintable about soaring thermometers, but in reality you haven't much to kick about.
Medical authorities are fairly well agreed that there is less illness in hot weather than in cold; that 109 temperature may make you grumble but help to keep you well.
When you arise at four bells to study for a quiz, and you find later that you got an "A," you feel rewarded for your effort. When you keep on feeling hotter than hot even when you are lying in the shade of the old elm tree, you wonder just how this matter of compensation fits in.
A noted health authority is credited with the statement that intense heat has a tendency to drive people out into the open air, cause them to indulge in healthful exercises such as swimming, with the result that they remain, on the average, in good physical condition. Several Lawrence physicians offer the opinion that people may be more fit they are more careful in matters of exercise.
If you keep well you have the answer.
Around the World
"Here today and gone tomorrow" is a good motto for up and coming aviators of the Howard Hughes type. In fact it is a motto for Hughes himself, for his type is about as rare as a bushmaster in captivity.
As an attractive young man who inherited a fortune he was like hundreds, maybe thousands, of others. But as a person of exceptionable accomplishment in several diverse fields, as a superior aviator and pioneer in the advance of flying, a man of courage and modesty, he has rounded out a distinctive personality deserving of individual honors.
In completing the hop from New York to Paris—Howard Hughes followed the trail that Colonel Charles A Lindbergh blasted eleven years ago—but in half of Lindbergh's time.
In New York City Sunday afternoon, in Paris Monday, then on to Moscow and around the world—That's making time fly. The record of $16\frac{1}{2}$ hours from New York to Paris, as compared to the expected 22 or 24 hours, is a new low and it was a good omen for the entire trip. A better omen, however, was the scientific care which had been given to preparation and fitness. The success attained is especially a source of pride to onlookers from this side of the ocean, but the real gain is best seen by scientists everywhere.
Fair and Cloudy
"Economic skies are definitely clearing."—Secretary of Commerce Roper.
"There have been a few raindrops coming from the heavens that probably will be followed by much needed showers."—President Roosevelt.
The eminent weather prophets evidently didn't get together on their figures of speech. But we hope they're both right—that the tide is turning, prosperity coming around the corner, business getting back on its feet, the road ahead a appearing
smoother, the chasm of depression being bridged, a new day dawning.
And that the abundant rainfall from the cloudless blue will paint the bow of promise above a land warmed by the sunshine of better times.
You Name It
Natives near Sshow, in South Africa, are said to be fearful that a hybrid animal, a cross between a rhinoceros and a hippopotamus, is prowling the country at night. Some say the footprints are those of a rhino, while others are sure they resemble those of the hippo, which is never seen in the vicinity of Sshow.
We should say that the show where that animal belongs is Ringling Bros. But what we want to know is what to call the beast. Is it hippoprino? Or rhinopotamus? Or a hippoceros? Or just a creature of the imagination of the natives of Sshow?
Man vs. Fly
That German inventor who has developed a "house-fly" flying machine deserves credit for marvelous ingenuity. It's a helicopter, with rotating wings, and it can go up, down, forward, backward, sidewise or hover motionless in the air.
Yes, but can it walk upside down on the ceiling?
Editor, Summer Session Kansan:
Campus Opinion
We had been wondering when we would have an opportunity to use our activity tickets. In the "good old days" of '31 there used to be a picture show each Wednesday night. Summer students burned midnight oil on Monday and Tuesday so that they might consciously attend the picture on Wednesday. Now out of a clear sky comes the announcement of the Summer Session Players for Tuesday night. Let's go!
W. L.C.
I don't know to whom the credit is due, but, the matter was merely mentioned to Professor Chandler after Educational Forum last Tuesday evening, that the water in the coolers at the Library was exceedingly warm long before the day is over.
Professor Chandler, modest as he is, refuses to take the credit and says that he thinks probably Dean Schwegler is the responsible party. Well from the standpoint of just a student I personally feel that the cold water, even up to closing time, at the Library, is greatly appreciated by the summer school students.
The make-up man said that he needed three (3) more lines to make this column long enough to justify.

Nuts form a principal item of a squirrel's diet. There are a lot of squirrels in Lawrence, especially on the Hill. Yet the supply of nuts seems inexhaustible.

Add similies: lonelier than Lawrence in the summer time. How-ever, the expression is useless -- such a condition does not exist.

A lot of water has passed under, and around, Kansas bridge since we last met.

Favorite between-classes sport of the undergraduate contingent is to stand on the library steps and see how long one can go without seeing a speaking acquaintance.

Pretty girls are a rare commodity these days. But there is an easy way to find one. Look for the library table that is full of men. She will be sandwiched in somewhere.

Way up on top,
There is a Cop;
This Cop is sly,
It is some lye;
From morn till nite,
He finds de-light;
In others plight,
It is a fright.
Father insisted with Mamma that our lazy brother Bud go out and get a job, not because he wants Bud to work, but to keep Mamma from being constantly reminded that Bud took after his father.

Aunt Hetty loves her daughter Miranda best, because she's the ugliest child. She insisted that she have the best education. You see Aunt Hetty knows that Miranda will not be troubled with a husband, so she'll stay at home and get a job making sure Aunt Hetty's old age pension.
Many Soar to Heights From K. U. Journalism
Recent election of William Allen White of Emporia as president of the American Society of Newspaper editors, brings to attention the prominent place held by former students of the University of Kansas in the world of journalism. Two years ago Martin Creager, editor of the Milwaukee Journal, was president of the same organization after serving twice as vice president and several years as secretary. Roy Roberts, managing editor of the Kansas City Star, has been on the board of directors of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, and has been president of the North American Newspaper Alliance, of the Associated Press Managing Editor's Assoc., and of the Gridiron Club of Washington, D.C. Other K.U. men who have been active in the American Society of Newspaper Editors include Alfred G. Hill, who recently sold his Cheyenne, Wyo., Tribune, and Ralph Ellis, formerly of the Kansas City Journal-Post.
Mr. White is a member of the class of 1890, Creager of 1904, Roberts of 1908, Hill of 1917 and Ellis of 1904.
It has been noted also that Mr. Creager and Mr. Roberts are actively in charge of the country's two outstanding papers which are employee-owned now or are moving to the goal of employee ownership.
