Kansan Comment
M. S.C. Makes
Progress
The appointment of two committees, one on dance passes and one on election reform, of the Men's Student Council shows that the new Council realizes the importance of these measures.
The need for election reform has become increasingly apparent throughout the years. Campaigns have been conducted without any regard for the public interest or information. Some degree of supervision over the campaigns is necessary, and particularly the filled filing of all campaign expenditures by every candidate, political party, and other person or organization that spends money on the campaign.
The dance passes to varsity and class parties given to members of the M.S.C. and W.S.G.A. for life have long been a factor in the failure of the dance managers to hire expensive bands. The Senior Cakewalk was an exception, and that was because all passes were eliminated by the contract. While it does not seem unreasonable that Council members should have passes to varsity dances during their terms of office, it does seem absolutely unreasonable that this privilege should be extended to "name" band class parties and that the passes should last for life. No wonder class parties sometimes lose money!
No action will be taken this spring by the Council. The committees have all summer to ponder, however, and they should have their reports ready for the Council at the opening of the fall term. Any election reform bill should be passed before the freshman election in the fall, and any dance pass bill should be adopted before the first class party.
And if the committees fail to function, it will become obvious that their appointment was to "consider" legislation until the legislation evaporated. But if the two committees present constructive programs before the Council early in the fall, then it will become apparent that yesterday's appointments were a step toward two badly needed reforms upon this Hill.
Psychiatrists are considering new proof that insanity is not hereditary. People just go that way trying to figure out Roosevelt's foreign policy.

Roosevelt's Third Term
Keeps 'Em Guessing
The political conventions of 1940 are drawing markedly near, and the question of a third Roosevelt term becomes more puzzling than ever. Until Mr. Roosevelt "speaks" the rest of the possible Democratic possibilities must mark time and not make any too conspicuous efforts to attract public favor.
It seems that Mr. Roosevelt (and rather wisely, too) doesn't want to commit himself one way or the other. No doubt he recalls the misunderstanding caused by Collidge's premature "I do not choose to run" statement.
Of course the President's silence on this subject does not prevent Jim Farley from making a far-flung post office inspection tour and incidentally spreading good tidings about the Democratic party. The personality-plus post-master-general, recently through Kana s ans, wouldn't talk about the possibility of a third term. Local political leaders believe that if Mr. Rosevelt does not run again the probable party choice will be either Cordell Hull, James Garner, or James Farley.
The Chief Executive is a smart enough politician not to make himself eligible for re-election unless his chances are pretty good. And the Roosevelt policies, not so clear-cut as in his first years in the White House, are not so popularly approved as they were a few years ago.
The President's weakest policy is that toward business. The administration's business appeasement program has done little to constructively encourage business. Harry Hopkins, gofather of the appeasement program, has not succeeded in making businessmen believe his promises (as of the Des Moines speech a few months ago). Last week the United States Chamber of Commerce further widened the breach with the Roosevelt administration by turning its back on the appeasement program and calling the capitalist "the real forgotten man."
The President's foreign policy has met with a good deal of public approval and criticism, and anxiety over the foreign situation has drawn much of the nation's attention from its domestic difficulties. Mr. Roosevelt's labor policy has not been too forceful recently. He has had considerable conflict with Congress over relief appropriations.
Overcoming the third term precedent would be no mean job for even Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The public is fickle, and it is small wonder that Mr. Roosevelt is hesitant about stating his ambitions. He cannot foretell how he will rank in the public affections a year from next November. But until Mr. Roosevelt decides, the other candidates must play as if they had no idea that their hats were in the ring.
Spain has withdrawn from the League of Nations. After the costly civil war we bet she found that she couldn't pay her dues.
Exchange Scholarships Make for Peace
Just when American relations with Germany are the most strained in recent years, announcement that the University's German exchange scholarship may not be renewed next year is indeed regrettable, whether because of lack of finances of international relations.
Of course German exchange scholars are probably propagandists. This is offset quite easily by all the anti-Nazi propaganda. That the German exchange scholars should be pro-German is only logical; that they should want to make us a little pro-German is only natural.
The important thing is that a German student becomes acquainted with the United States. He learns what the United States really is—that Americans are not all Communistieze Jews plotting world domination. And when he goes back to Germany he will perhaps inform some of his fellow-countrymen about America.
And Americans learn to know a German student. In a few years, or months, they may be told that all Germans are unthinking barbarous Huns that ought to be wiped off the earth. And perhaps they will remember what our exchange scholar that was over there told them; that Germans were kind, considerate human beings. And perhaps they will remember that they once knew a German and that he did not seem to be an unthinking barbarous Hum. And perhaps they will go even so far as to question whether all Germans should be wiped off the earth.
War breeds on hatred generated by ignorance. In these days of world interdependence, everything that removes some of the ignorance about the inhabitants of one country from the inhabitants of another country should be supported. The German exchange scholarship is one such move.
Mussolini says he wants peace. Who was it who said that Mussolini, Hitler, and Roosevelt would never agree on anything?

Royality To Get Hot Dogs During Hyde Park Visit
Highbrow Frankfurters
Washington, May 18—(JP)—Sir Ronald Lindsay meets representatives of the American press formally for the first time since he became British Ambassador to the United States in 1930.
That party has caused more "social headaches" in this city than any
Lady LindaSY, the former Elizabeth Sherman Hoyt on New York, has held several press conferences luring recent weeks. earlier this week she revealed at one of these hat she was arranging the guest list or the garden party to be held at her embassy for their majesties.
The press conference will be devoted to a discussion of the forthcoming visit of the British King and Queen. A formal meeting of the ambassador was believed to be announced in recent British embassade history.

It's hard to understand the workings of a movie magnates mind. They take a gifted comedienne like Myrna Lay, star her in a second-rate pie. She's funny and charming and then wonder why she is loooting her drawing-power at the box-office.

It is with a feeling of awe and trepidation that we learn that Jim Robertson has been called from his duties as Shinster to edit the Sour Owl next year. We've always felt that the young man would get ahead since we heard that as a boy he used to get up at 5 on cold, winter mornings to hold the lantern while his mother cut wood. (Note: this isn't original but neither was it when the Shinster pulled it on us.)
For the past month we have been in the throes of a creative mood trying to write an Ode for the 75th anniversary of the University. With only a little stimulus, the first lines were easy;

As the British ambassador took charge of press arrangements for the royal visit, the plans of the President and Mrs. Roosevelt for entertaining the Queen at Hyde Park were revealed to depend on the weather.
Pi Pfit Bell Campbell and Dick Basket dipped down to WREN yesterday afternoon to watch the Campus Foursome broadcaster, Acacia-Anhouenne John Bondeney to Miss Betty read a couple of lines of the script, and Dick claims that she suffered from mike fright.
If it is cool on June 11, the day the visitors will call at Hyde Park, Mrs. Roosevelt wants to serve them a strictly American delicacy—hot dogs. The President's mother, however, is holding out for a garden party.
The Roosevelts are famous for their outdoor "hot-bodied" p垦 on the banks of the Hudson river. The Crown Princess and Princesses of Sweden were introduced to that food during their recent visit there.
