PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS FRIDAY,APRIL 27,19 RIDA Marvin Arth the editorial page - * * Bored To Death— "D'ye know I'd like to be one iv thim Bored iv Regents," said Mr. Throckmorton. "It must be a important job," said Mr. McGinnis. "Ye have to know so much." “Tis a hard job, too,” said Mr. Throckmorton, “but ye don' have to know so much. Th' other day th' Bored voted to raise student tewishum. I don' know what they was thinkin' iv, but evin I can see wha' it's gonna do. The fee for studnts not livin' in Kansas went up 30 dollars a term, an' thim livin' out iv th' state ain't goin' to ignore that larga sum, evin in times like this. "An' Kansas kids have to pay 10 dollars xtra. That's enuf to make them think about somewhere else to git a education. Th' Bored sure isn't goin' to make th' enrollment any bigger, but maybe they aren't tyin' to. Th' kids workin' their own way an' just barely gittin' along are goin' to have to drop out, and begogy, that's one iv't main reasons for havin' a state school—to help thim kids what ain't got money to git a education. "Th' Bored figgers they can make a quarter iv a millym dollars a year by th' raise, but that ain't much figgerin' th' budget's 'bout 14 milymys. Mite do more harm thin good—raisin' that fee. An' that fieldhouse ev'ryone wanted—th' cost iv it cud make up the diffrence for 8 to 10 years. "An' th' less students there is, th' less teachers they'll need, natural. They won't be able to raise teacher's pay, evin tho ev'y-thing else's goin' up. That ain't goin' to git them any new teachers an' they'll lose a lot iv good ones. An' they pay students th' same way. "Tis a important job all right. They're a lot iv responsibility to it. Th' Bored hav' a gr-rave responsibility to th' studiants iv Kansas. They have to study th' sitation awful hard." "I shud think th' wurruk wud kill thim," said Mr. McGinnis sadly. "It does," said Mr. Throckmorton. "Many Bored members is dead." Francis Kelley - * * All too often we're apt to take things for granted. Like assuming that professor is absent-minded simply because he hasn't brought out a $5.50 revision of his text book to sell to his class. And all too often we're wrong. The professor's text book may well be in the process of final editing at his publishers. We once heard a little anecdote that points up the consequences sometimes suffered when one jumps to conclusions. It goes like this: Having been married 20 years, a couple decided to celebrate by taking a trip. While talking over their plans one evening, the husband now and then glanced into the next room where a little old lady sat knitting. "The only thing is," he said in a hushed voice, "is that for once I'd like to be by ourselves. I'd like to take this trip without your mother." "My mother!" the wife exclaimed. "I thought she was your mother!." $$ ☆ ☆ ☆ $$ Just finished reading about a guy stealing money from a cancer-drive collection. He's the same kind of guy that gets a big kick out of feeding poisoned meat to a seeing-eye dog. There's a first-year student in the School of Law that may someday become a senator who will cure all of the state's ills. His name? LeBlanc. $$ * * * $$ Strictly for veterans: GIs have been promised a substitute for K-rations. New items include ham and eggs, spaghetti and meat balls, beef and vegetables. We presume the government is still searching for a method to successfully pack "stuff on a shingle." A section of our dictionary lists the forms of address used in communication with persons of title or official position. It says: Consul—There is no special form of address to a person as such, though in this country a consul is called "Honorable." $$ * * * $$ Anybody second it? Sleep is a blessing no one mocks; I move we abolish eight o'clocks. Overheard in the Union: "Of course, I wouldn't say anything about her unless I could say something good and boyoboyoboy is this good . . ." $$ * * * $$ Our latest research proves conclusively that the chief cause of divorce is marriage. $$ * * * $$ $$ * * * $$ Four years of college and now I find there's more to life than joys of mind. When a man bites a dog, that's news. And when a mental patient acts like a state senator, that's also news. --for (Because of space limitations, the editor reserves the right to condense letters of more than 100 words.

Letters— General Morgan To the editor: I would like to register a protest with you on the lack of publicity given to General Sir William Morgan's talk at 3 p.m. on Wednesday. Apart from a brief mention of his visit in the Tuesday issue, the Kansas made no statement with regard to his talk until Wednesday. By that time, it was of course too late for any to attend who might have been interested. Notices on the bulletin boards succeeded in drawing about 35 people. I have heard a good deal of criticism these last few months of current British policies, particularly with reference to Western defence, and to the Korean war. General Morgan is well qualified to speak authoritatively on this subject, and he did in fact answer a number of important and controversial points, both in his talk and at question-time. Anglo-American understanding and cooperation is vital not only to mutual survival, but also to the efficient functioning and success of the United Nations. This can be achieved only through sympathetic and informed knowledge of each other's problems and points of view. I hope very sincerely that the strong friendship between our two countries, will not allow itself to be clouded by differences and disputes David Morgan-Grenville British Graduate Student McGill's Drawers (From U.D.K. Oct. 24,1932) The exponents of nudism at McGill university for lack of scientific blow-guns of the government authorities, have resorted to a simple clothing program. They have provided the three nude fountain statues, donated to the University by Mrs. Payne Whitney, with colorful shorts so that the appalling crudeness of "nature in the raw" may be eliminated.
