"I'm Sitting On Top Of The World"
. Out Of Bed Isn't Enough
At times Europe seems to be like a sick man who has his wife fetch and carry for him all day while he lies in bed moaning for his tonic and that. Then, as evening comes, the ailing husband tells his wife that he's getting up for a round of the local night spots where another kind of tonic is available. All this causes irritation, exasperation, and perplexity to rise in the bosom of the accommodating helpmate.
The Editorial Page
Similar emotions confront many Americans as they scan the news from Europe every day. The headlines to tell us how desperately aid is needed overseas. We read about the financial crisis in France, near starvation in Germany, and austerity living in Great Britain. The patient truly seems to be alling. Aid in the forms of loans and goods gets an approving nod from most of us. "Give the patient any tonic he thinks he needs," we agree. Then we read that the patient is off to the night spots. European Spendthrifts
We find that certain European countries are making plans and expenditures that seem sheer frivolity in the light of their requests for aid, aid, and more aid. One of these projects, for example, is Britain's promotion of a new African empire and economic bulwark. While we are busily pouring dollars and goods into Great Britain, the English are just as active in siphoning off pounds to Rhodesia, South Africa, and other parts of British Africa. The avowed purpose of this expansion of industry in Africa is to enable Britain to reduce her expenditures in the United States. It would seem that our aid to Britain will be rewarded by rearing a keen economic rival in our midst.
British Competition
Actually Britain will become a strong competitor in world trade and business. What is difficult for many of us to understand is that aid not only means immediate help within the borders of the nations that receive our dollars, but it also means helping those nations develop a red-blooded, challenging economy. If the money we lend Europe were
used only to remedy domestic difficulties, European rations would become permanent parasites on U. S. dollars. It's not enough just to get the patient out of bed. We have to see that he flexes his muscles and stretches his legs until he is pearly as strong as we are.
Dear Editor Negro Rights
Dear Editor.
From my point of view, Negroes on the campus have proven themselves to be ladies and gentlemen. Their manners are always humble and courteous. Their dress is clean and neat. Therefore, without considering laws and so forth, from a strictly practical point of view, there seems to be no earthly or heavenly excuse for excluding Negro students from the cafes near the campus. Give them the rights they have earned.

Curtain Call
Dear Editor,
University Daily Hansan
Student Newspaper of the UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS
What a distressing sight was our first glimpse of Veloz and Yolanda in front of that dingy, dusty, wrinkled, patched, burlap backdrop in Hoch auditorium last week. What a shabby stage to ask any entertainers as talented as their troupe to perform on! To them, no doubt, the floor of the stage itself was, for dancing, comparable to the street surface.

Looking further, almost anyone will agree that the rest of the draperies, the main curtain for instance, have seen better times. Certainly if they're as old as the building, they need to be replaced.
If the members of this year's senior class are still in a quandary over a suitable class gift to the University, I think they need look no further. If the cost for refurbishing the Hoch stage is prohibitive, perhaps next year's senior class can help out.
