PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, MAY 11, 1929 Kansan Comment Scientists Worry About Time Man is a strange creature. He is forever seeking out causes--forever wanting to know "Why?" and "How?" He worries over everything--big or little; whether it will rain tonight, whether the blonde in the third seat over that in history class is Miss Blank, whether the universe is expanding or non-expanding, and whether space is infinite or finite. From this worrying, man has gained knowledge. Columbus started worrying about whether the earth was flat—and when he got through, the earth was round. Newton, who worried about the apple falling (scientists now claim the story is only fiction), ended up with the law of gravitation, showing why the planets go around the sun. Physicists worried about the atom and matter and energy—and concluded that matter is transferable into energy and energy into matter, a statement that would have seemed ridiculous fifty or a hundred years ago. And now, scientists have been worrying about time. Professor E. A. Milne of Oxford University recently made public some of the results of a new theory based upon the premise that there can be various times and time-scales. Time, is he, says no longer the obstacle that man once so unsuspectingly believed that it was. It is not only relative, but manifold. We can choose any of many various time-scales, and for each time-scale, according to the theory, we will have a different universe. The time-scale we take will determine whether the universe is finite or not, whether the universe is homogeneous, whether space is curved or flat. The theory is hardly practical as yet—unenlightened teachers, we fear, will not accept as an excuse for tardiness that one's watch was running on a different time-scale than that of the whistle. But it is comforting to know that scientists are worrying about time. For if they keep on thinking about it, maybe someday they'll find out a little something about it and give us a truer picture of the universe—or universes, as the case may be. And then there was the lazy fraternity freshman who dug the grass and left the dandelions. Students Start Thinking About War Peace The Peace Convocation, held for the purpose of getting University students to think about their futures in connection with war and peace, proposed three solutions for America's foreign policy. The University meeting is typical of innumerable peace gatherings held in colleges all over the country. American youth is facing the peace question squarely and sanely and with less of the rah' rah' attitude of a few years ago. The peace movement at the University has grown steadily during the past few years. Today, however, campus peace leaders are not as boisterous in their enthusiasm as were pioneer student pacifists. In 1935 and 1936, when the danger of a European war was not as acute as it is today, peace strikes were staged in American universities as part of a nation-wide student peace demonstration. Feeling ran so high that the Kansas publisher resigned because he was not in favor of the strike and could not with sincerity publicize it. Students waved flags and cheered, and the University band played brisk military music, causing patriotic hearts to swell and patriotic souls to enlist in the peace cause. In 1839, peace has become less certain and more precious. The convocation proceeded in a more solemn and more business-like manner. Instead of a military band, students heard hymns by the Westminster A Cappella choir. The three speakers were dogmatic, calm, and sincere. Three ways of preserving peace were expounded: isolation, collective security, and pacifism. Each position has its ardent supporters. As far as possible, sanity and logic, rather than propaganda devices, should be used by leaders who argue for the preservation of peace. Meetings of this type should reflect the feelings of intelligent college students. Their future is at stake; and as the persons most vitally concerned, they are seeking the safest way to stay out of war. Why Not 'Open' Quiz Files? The time has arrived for every college student to begin that last minute scramble to catch up on what he should have been doing all semester. Term papers are packing the library with procrastinators, who have put off the evil day until now. Finals are looming like a cyclone cloud on everyone's horizon. And according to the independents, the Greeks are prepared for this rainy day with well-supplied quiz files. If the University grading system is to be truly competitive, the advantage of quiz files should be offered to every student. Quiz files do exist on the Hill. Few professors question the fact. Few students would question the advantage these files give to a student studying for a quiz. Yet students living in unorganized house have little opportunity to collect and organize these quizzes and papers from year to year. Independents living in any state-controlled dormitory are not allowed to accumulate a file. Thus, the advantage of these files is limited to less than a third of the student body. The University has no ruling on the establishment or use of files. Such control would undoubtedly be difficult, yet control has been exercised in those dormitories which are state-managed. The University of Missouri has solved the problem by organizing a quiz file in the University library. This file is available to all students. Professors cooperate in maintaining the file. Quiz files are a natural outgrowth of the grading system. Until this system is modified or eliminated, and students learn to judge their college achievement by what they learn rather than by what the teachers think they learn, quiz files will exist. It is only fair to allow everyone who desires to "cram" in this way equal opportunity. Virginians have about decided on "Carry Me Back to '01 Virginny" for their state song. It will now be appropriate for Virginians to stand and be carried away everytime the song is sung.

Students' Parents Earn Money in Many Ways Joe and Josephine College might work their way through school in many instances, but their parents also need to do some work for the cause. Information compiled from registration cards reveals many different ways by which the parents perform their task. Among the lesser populated occupations, the piano tuner or the Justice of the Peace are outstanding. Then there is one student who claims his father stays home to raise bees to earn money. This man was listed as an "aparist." The aparist has a dry job compared to Joe's father who goes to sea as a yacht captain to keep his son in school. One hundred ninety-five fathers find the railroad business a means to send Joe and Josephine through school. Railreading, with the exception of farming, includes the greatest percentage of fathers. Six hundred one students come from the country, their parents staying home to till the soil while the children are away. Sons and daughters of 15 W.P.A. workers are in school, while persons who have retired send 143 students notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye This is National Music Week. The best way to celebrate it would be to order all the recordings of "Three Ticks" taken from the localrickleadborns. We know all the tickets to the Senior Cakewalk were sold but we never realized how precious the tickets were until a senior offered to let us see for his twenty-five cents. Says the Salina Journal: "There doesn't seem to be the optimism about graduates that used to prevail Twenty years ago an outgoing senior who didn't receive at least three offers for a job. This year we know one graduate who is going to receive a couple of pairs of stout job-hunting shoes." Quick now. Just what was the name of the horse that won the Kentucky Derby last week? Writing of his recent trip to Washington, William Allen White says of the President: "He aits in his chair outwardly unperturbed, so calm,克服恐惧,勇敢地认识危险的 felicity. What a man!"

Rome, May 11. — (UP) — It was reported in well-informed political circles today that King Victor Emmanuel and Crown Prince Humbert will visit Berlin in June soon after Foreign Minister Galeazzo Ciano's trip there to sign the Inlo-German military nact. Holian King Will Visit Berlin To Sign Pact This stinks! Please forgive me! it was also stated that Prince Paul, Regent of Jugoslavia who is here with his wife, Princess Olga, for their wedding in Berlin, will go to Berlin early in June. to the University, "Retired" is one of the most popular occupations listed. Its superiority is threatened, however, by physicians and lawyers. Salesmen and merchants are up near the ton also. In the fall of last year, five students' parents were working in foreign lords as masonaries; while eight ministers or bishops in the United States. The figures also reveal that Joe and Josephine's mother does her part in keeping her offspring in school. Ten mothers are employed doing housework. Twenty-one work as secretaries or stenographers. Wood Carvings By Joseph Goethe On Display Here An exhibit of the wood earings Joseph Goethe, well-known sculptor, is being displayed in Frank Strong hall, room 320. The display, sponsored by the department of design, features the arrangement of the abstract imaginations portrayed in part by conventional details. Goethe is a native of Indiana and received his art training at the Dayton Art institute and the Phillips Memorial gallery of Washington, D.C. He is one of the younger group of sculptors who are interested in the direct method of carving as a means of sculptural expression. The direct carver hacks a form out of a piece of wood with no clay or plaster model as a pattern. These forms are apt to be considerably affected by the grain and other characteristics of the wood. The display will remain at the University during this month. Shipley Elected To Head Art Fraternity Here Delta Phi Delta, honorary art (pratence), announces the election of the following officers for the year 1939-1940: President, William Shipley, fa'40; vice-president, Beulah Grunwald, fa'40; recording secretary, Jeanne McKnight, fa'40; corresponding secretary, Helen Fincke, fa'40, treasurer; Jane Krebblel, fa'40; reporter and historian, Dori Nelson, fa'40; marshall, Charles Toberen, fa'40. Russia Proposes Four Power Pact Moscow, May 11—(UP) —Russia has proposed a four-power pact of mutual assistance, to include great Britain, France, Poland, and Russia, as the most effective means of guarding EU security, it was disclosed today. Alternatively, Russia proposed a three-power pact including Britain, France and Russia which would bind them to mutual assistance, on the principle of reciprocity, and would guarantee the security of other states of eastern and central Europe. Russian makes its proposals on the ground that Adolf Hitler's denunciation of treats with Britain and Poland, and the German Italian military past, has altered the entire European situation and makes the prompt creation of a united "peace front" imperative. Aboard S. S. Empress of Australia, en route to Quebec, May 11-(UP)—King George and Queen Elizabeth weaver clothing today as the Empress and her cruiser convoy ran into the Atlantic ice zone. Royal Convoy Into Ice Zone; Will Reduce Speed In mid-ocean on their voyage to Canada and the United States, the royal party went digging for overcoats and sweaters because of the sudden cold. The crew called it "the smell of icebergs." The ship's captain intends to reduce speed and take no chances when the center of the ice field is reached. At the Queen's suggestion members of the crew, including stewards, firemen and pagebacks, clad in their working clothes, eagerly crowded in the main dining saloon with the royal party and watched a motion picture show, including Walt Disney's "polar trappers."
