Zilch Filches U-Boat Safe in Rio
Rio De Janeiro, Brazil, April 17.—Special to the Daily Kansan.-The streets of this colorful South American city have been jammed with milling, jubilant citizenry since 11:30 last night when Elmer A. Zilch, the Passion Flower of journalism, arrived in the harbor last night in a submarine (reportedly filched from port authorities at Dakar, West Africa, where Zilch was last
reported) manned by 20 swarthy natives of the Basie tribe.
Watchers on Sugar Loaf mountain, towering rock in Rio Harbor, sounded a general alarm when the submarine was first sighted, but upon seeing the Zilch coat of arms—type louse rampant on a field of galley proofs—they rushed the glad tidings of great joy to the populace of Rio.
Zileh is Shaken
The word spread like wildfire. Giant conga lines were formed. Zilch was rushed to the capitol building in a special limousine while dark-keyed, shapely Rio belles strewed orchids in his path. A special session of the Brazilian congress was assembled, and President Getulio Vargas gave a ringing speech of welcome to the battle-scarred journalist. Zilch, visibly shaken by the ovation, could scarcely find words to express himself, and in a husky voice mumbled, "What the ?Xl@"
Nobody went to bed last night in Rio de Janeiro. Wine flowed freely, storekeepers flung open their doors, and native orchestras filled the cool air with music melodious until the wine ran out, then the music ceased being melodious. Never has South America known such a night.
Zilch, a prohibitionist from way back, is said to have frowned on the drinking, but after a few glasses of fine Portuguese wine were forced on him by city officials, he adopted a more tolerant attitude and sighed, "Oh. well."
Early this morning, crack mechanics swarmed over the travelworn submarine in an attempt to have the ship in **A-1** condition for Zilch's last sea leg. Rio to New Orleans. Zilch is expected to arrive in the Crescent City sometime Saturday, and the Kansan will be on the alert for a late flash to be printed in the Sunday issue.
Albany, N.Y. — (UP) — After walking off 67 pounds, State Senator Phelps is in the army. Overweight, the senator was rejected last summer. He began walking six to eight miles daily to reduce. He "came in" at 189.

Emphasis will be placed on personality as well as scholastic ability. Professor Turney pointed out.
The Office of Education will go over the records of each student every semester to determine irregularities and to eliminate the possibility of a student's failing to be graduated at the last minute because, of requirements not filled.
The program will seek also to check students' teaching combinations, the better to place them in jobs. Most of the prospective teachers will be required to teach three subjects when they receive an appointment, and the committee intends to make sure that those three subjects are best suited to the abilities of the individual teacher.
FARRELL LISTS-obligations. Scholars have high rank and entail obligations.

or just a motto. One of the most famous mottoes, and the one that President Farrell advocates for scholars, is "Noblesse oblige," the two-word rule of the old French aristocracy—that nobleness entails
Emphasizing eight special obligations which rest on every scholar, President Farrell named first the gratitude to the institution in which the scholarship of the student was developed. The University of Kansas, the president of Kansas State College said, has been a sanctuary for learning for over 75 years. Students should always be loyal and grateful to it.
Unsurwerving devotion to truth is a second obligation of the student. A scholar's value to society and to his own self-respect is based primarily on honesty and intellectual and spiritual integrity. A third obligation is the courageous championship of the freedom to learning and the freedom to teach.
Have an open mind, advocates President Farrell in his fourth obligation. This does not mean that students may not have opinions and principles, but one of the hazards of scholarship is that the individual sometimes assumes that he has the last word in certain lines of knowledge.
Examples of this intellectual bias were the opposition given Pasteur by the leading doctors of his day, and the fight of Lord Kelvin and Thomas A. Edison, leading specialists in electricity, against the adoption of alternating current.
The fifth obligation is to always look to the future but never to lose respect for the past. The past is filled with valuable information and wisdom. Some feel that because things are new to us, they are really new. Co-education was thought to be introduced first at Oberlin college in 1830, but in 450 B.C. Pythagoras operated a co-educational

Recognizing the relativity of morals and at the same time having a decent respect for the opinions of mankind is the essential seventh obligation. Morals change with longitude and time, President Farrell remarked.
The obligation to accept responsibility, even if it is unpleasant, the eighth and last obligation of the scholar. To live usefully and honorably, that is the supreme obligation of the scholar to society and to himself, President Farrell concluded.
