Caesar Pays His Debt To Society
Caesar is in jail!
The poor little puppy has been missing from the campus just two days, and already the old Hill doesn't seem the same. And he's such a child, too. Why he's only a year and a half old, and here he is already doomed to a life of shame because he has "done time" in the Lawrence police station.
No longer the patter of tiny cushioned paws gleefully trotting up Jawhawk drive, no soft friendly barks as he picks his way carefully between students while playfully chasing a motorcycle, no more those caressing feet in the middle of your back. Caesar is in jail.
Juvenile delinquents are many in the United States. Sooner or later the problem was bound to crop up at K.U.
Many will say it is the fault of Caesar's parents that he has become the scourge of the police force. But surely they can not be blamed. Rather, it must be that the poor little puppy has no place to go home every night, no place to lay his head down after a hard day chasing
We give many dollars each year to different charities, why then can't we lend this little dog a helping hand in his hour of need. Just imagine his wistfully peering from out the cold, cold bars of the police station with nothing to eat but bread and water.
motorcycles, no place to really call his own. He doesn't "belong."
Let's do something about it. Let's not only get our pal out of jail, let's go deeper into the problem. Let's start a fund to build the playful little fellow a nice dog house down in the grove somewhere, maybe with a neat picket fence around it. We might even dig deep and find him a help-mate that barks like a motorcycle or something. Maybe even a daschund would do.
If we can only do something to keep his mind off his awful past, to blot out the terrible memory of those nights in jail. Just a little place in the grove that he could call his own is a little thing. Is that too much to ask?
After all, he's just a pup. Darell Norris

It Will Be What We Make It
The Kansan wishes to express its admiration for the committee which put over the Palm room nightclub plan. It is nothing short of a miracle considering the long fight it took to get permission for students to drink coffee in this hallowed room.
If the room serves only as a hangout for certain book-shy elements of the student population and the rest of the student body never
The use of the room as a student nightclub on weekends should be an interesting experiment. It will prove or disprove whether the students, now that they have this long-desired privilege, will use the room in a way it will become an asset to University life.
Some Sound Advice
He says that solving the problems of distribution offers the young man a "tremendous opportunity for progress." He said that 60 cents of every consumer dollar in this country represents cost of distribution.
Benson Ford, youthful motor company executive, gave some sound advice to ambitious young persons in a speech before the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce Monday.
Ford listed four other areas of challenge for young people;
1. Learn to think politically—to understand the public interest.
2. Approach the eternal problems of peace, security and tolerance with fresh viewpoints and vigorous, new solutions.
3. Strike a better balance between the moral and the material in our daily lives.
4. Think internationally—learn to speak the languages of other people, literally and figuratively.
Colloquium Hears Schatten
enter its door, it will not be serving its purpose. Each student helped pay for the room; he now has a chance to trade his money for good clean fun.
Robert Schatten, associate professor of mathematics, spoke to the Mathematical colloquium Monday on "What is A Lie Group?"
Since the room does "belong" to the students, it also is up to them to take care of it. It won't take long for the place to get that typical roadhouse "beat look," if it gets the same rough treatment usually accorded such places.
Kuo-chi Hsu, graduate student from Yangchow, China, will speak at the next colloquium, 5 p.m. Monday, March 7, 203 Frank Strong hall. His subject will be "Holders-Minkowski Spaces."
The manner in which this new privilege is received by the students quite probably will determine whether the administration will feel it wise to grant other similar requests in the future.
Professors Line Up Math Course
New requirements for majoring in mathematics will be explained at the Mathematics club meeting at 5 p.m. Thursday, 221 Frank Strong.
G. W. Smith, professor of mathematics; Gilbert Ulmer, associate professor of mathematics; and G. B. Price, professor of mathematics; will explain the new requirements and will conduct a question and answer period later.

When a local theater recently announced a child talent contest for handsome children from three to 14 years old, a number of University students filled out applications blanks for their friends. One never knows, maybe they'll discover a frustrated Jackie Cooper or Shirley Temple right here in our midst.
One student bemoaned the fact that it was such a difficult process to get a janitor to take him to the roof of Fraser. Perhaps the roof would be open at all times if the students were not such rabid souvenir collectors. Those flags cost money.
This column apparently is becoming a stepping stone toward success for some students. One student informed the writer that he had a story for the column and that he would write it up.

Later he said, "That story was so good that I've decided to send it to Readers' Digest." Alas, competition.
The recent fire in Templein hall brought about the installation of a new fire alarm at the Kappa Alpha Theta house. The girls say it sounds more like a Model T Ford horn than a fire alarm. If this is true, there should be some interesting sights when the spring influx of Model T's begins on the campus.
The sports editor and, we imagine, the player involved took quite a ribbing after their friends read the caption under a men's intramural basketball picture in Tuesday's Daily Kansan.

Group Studies Judiciary System
Methods for improving the judiciary department of the student government were considered by members of the All Student Council judiciary committee Monday.
Dorothy Scroggy, A.S.C. secretary and chairman of the committee, said she would appreciate suggestions from the students for improvement of the present system. She should be contacted by the end of the week.
The committee will meet again Tuesday, March 8. Improvement of smoking and parking regulations will be discussed.
Members of the committee are Miss Scroggy, College senior; Robert Bennett and Ernest Friesen, College juniors; James H. Martin, College freshman; and Elizabeth Webster, Business senior.
It is amazing how much difference one letter struck wrongly on a typewriter can make-for instance, Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A.
