Kansan Comment
Wassermanns
Await Students
The Kansas board of health voted this week to place venereal diseases in the same category with other communicable diseases and to furnish laboratory tests free to all those whom physicians say should not be required to pay.
This is, in line with the federal government's re-education program headed by Surgeon-General Thomas Perran in which the cloak of secrecy placed by social disapproval has been removed from free discussion of venereal diseases.
Facts brought out publicly in the program and hitherto unknown generally show that one person out of ten is exposed to syphilis, that more than ninety per cent are curable, and most important of all, that the curability varies directly with the early apprehension of the disease. The toll of syphilis when not found or treated is taken in human wreckage, blindness, insanity, and death.
Wassermann tests are available at Watkins Memorial hospital at no cost to students. Results are absolutely confidential and arrangements are made for treatment of students if syphilis is found. It may not be essential that every student take the test every year. It is vitally important, however, that every student take the Wassermann twice during his college life—as a new student and before he leaves the University.
On this Campus are students who have syphilis and who are not aware that they are afflicted. Last year out of 627 students taking the Wassermann tests, positive results were obtained from three men and one woman. These four students did not know that they had syphilis.
Why not make your appointment at the hospital today?
The symphonic orchestra's 150 years of tradition-bound seating arrangement has suffered a set-back by no less a notable than Leopold Stokowski. In a recent program with his Philadelphia symphony, Stokowski brought the brass section forward, moved the strings to the rear. If this is to be taken as precedent in the future, something will have to be done about the podium—else, how is the conductor to see over the tubas.

Youth Seeks Jobs
Chief concern of college students, men and women, is the opportunity for jobs after graduation. Because of present day conditions, ability no longer offers assurance of success in the view of 80 per cent of a cross-section of young men and women of New York City as shown by a recent poll conducted by the Y.M.C.A.
At the same time, more women seek a career outside the home. Only five women at the University of Kansas City have planned to be housewives according to a recent survey of that student body.
Findings of the New York poll showed artificial employment was not popular. More than sixty per cent of the young people questioned shared the belief that expert advice on how to choose and get a job would be more valuable to unemployed young people or those in dead-end jobs than more school or college or government-made jobs.
Secretary of Labor Perkins suggested recently that public service jobs are open to college women with the necessary qualifications and pointed out that few fields offer as desirable careers to women as Civil Service. Earnings are well above the average income in America. Hours, equipment, and length of employment compare favorably with other fields of endeavor for women. Qualifications listed by Miss Perkins include character, intellectual efficiency, and the ability to "take it."
The two views are contradictory. The Secretary of Labor paints the attractions of governmental jobs. Youth maintains that it does not want that kind of employment. Finally, more and more young people are seeking work.
The number of young people out of school and out of work between the ages of sixteen and twenty-five is estimated at five million. It is not a problem peculiar to the United States, but it is certainly a problem of utmost importance in this country at this time.
Until Democracy offers economic opportunity without governmental subsidy, it is not a completely successful form of government, despite the fact that its virtues outweigh those offered by other forms of government. Business cannot supply the whole answer although business should assume its share of the responsibility.
Until the cry of youth for jobs is answered, both business and government must expect the youth of the nation to provide the ears which listen to the voices of the Fritz Kuhs, Father Coughlin, and Gerald P. Winrods.
Sweden
Answers
Proof that economic strangle holds are a effective as those applied by military and political strength was shown further in the recen bit of jockeying between Germany and Sweden Nowhere near a match for the Nazis on the fief battle, the iron-owning country of Sweden called Hitler's bluff and won.
Briefly here are the moves that took place German asked Sweden to join a continenta blockade of Great Britain. The Swedes turned thumbs down. Hitler representatives said their nation would disregard the four-mile territorial zone which had been respected since 1779, and lay mines within three miles of the Swedish coast. Mines along the Swedish coast in shallow water would threaten seriously the country's Baltic trade. Sweden answered the German saari rattling with the quiet implication that Swedish iron imports to Germany could be stopped. As a result mine fields have not yet approached the Swedish coast within the four-mile limit.
Hitler is not often stopped. Time after time in the past two years, the Fuehrer has faced coalitions, ultimatums, threats, entreaties, armies, and bullets, but has plunged ahead with his program, worrying little over the strength of his opposition. Mobilization of France and England only acted as a spur. "Tut Tut" from Mussolini, allegedly a strong ally, never has phased him.
Yet when military impotent Sweden simply implies that "We may find it impossible to ship any more iron ore," the Nazi leader backs down immediately. Quiet Sweden has scored at least a temporary victory over the iron fist.

Fads may come and fads may go, but every well-equipped college campus must have at least one major current craze. Last year goldfish swallowing was the vogue; this year going on war-ration diets has caught the collegiate fancy. Some of the chubbier students might use this as a psychological strengthener to build up "won't power" when it comes to that third helping of potatoes.

Gilford (Cactus Face) Dugan was an unanimous choice around the circuit for one tackle birth. We placed Bernard Weiner at the other post over Ken Haas because the Wildcat is much faster on his feet then the husky Tiger. Weiner cover punts for K-State this season with the speed and agility of an end.

The guard positions were won by Bob Waldorf and Ralph Stevenson. Waldorf, who is playing his last season for Missouri this year, was a power in the Tiger line, an aggressive guard who was hard to move. In our belief Stevenson was the most aggressive lineman in the Big Six. "Steve," who failed to receive much publicity because of the other good players in the Oklahoma line, was a wildcat on defense.

Beryl Clark and Herman Rohring are the "triple-troops" of our backfield. Clark, who led the conference in scoring, was outbone for the team, which it came to kicking and passing the Sooner beat it "was." Between the
two they could produce an attack that a conch would dream about. Our fullback is the piledriver of the Sooners, Bob Seymour. Seymour, who weighs only 185, had the drive of a 200-pounder. His forte was line plunging, with his power-blocking a close second.
