Kansan Comment
New Board Takes Over
One has but to glance at the records of the nine men and women appointed by Governor Ratner to the State Board of Regents to be assured that higher education in Kansas in the immediate future is in capable hands.
Of the seven men, five have served previous terms on the Board. Lester McCoy, Dr. H. L Snyder, and Ralph T. O'Neil were members of the sub-committee of Regents which conducted the search for the University's new chancellor and chose Deane W. Malott. Drew McLaughlin and Fred Harris showed keen interest in educational affairs of the state when they were Regents.
The Governor's appointment of two women members was particularly desirable. Mrs. Donald Muir long has been active in administrative work of women's clubs and societies—especially in those devoted to aiding crippled children and to fighting cancer. In this respect she is unquestionably qualified to take an active part in the additional task the new Board of Regents must take up—that of administering the affairs of the schools for the deaf, the blind, and the Negro.
Mrs. Elizabeth Reigart, with a wide background of teaching, likewise is a valuable selection. She has been a leader in the state Tuberculosis Society and has been prominent in women's clubs and political groups.
W. T. Markham, although not a former Regent, ranks with the best educators in the state. A school administrator and teacher in Kansas since 1905, Mr. Markham's long experience includes six years as state superintendent of public instruction. His appointment will be welcomed by all educators.
The selection of Grover Poole is in line with the Governor's attempts to build agricultural and industrial resources of the state. Mr. Poole is one of the state's leading farmers and livestock men. A graduate of Kansas State College, he was designated as a Master Farmer in 1931.
Because in the past each member of the new Board has demonstrated an active interest in state affairs, the future of Kansas educational institutions looks particularly bright at this time.
To the Professors:
Just a Suggestion
As you know, the week or so before finals will be crowded for students. Term papers, make-up work, and review crowd the final hours. Students become as busy as the stock market during a European crisis.
Some of you have the distressing habit of giving tests the week before finals. We aren't complaining—but considering the other things the students are compelled to do during the last few days, they would appreciate it if you would try to give your principal tests during the next two weeks, giving them a week or so for rest and the gathering up of the little details about a course that always need attention at final time.
In fact such cooperation might be mutually beneficial.
Perhaps, as some Republican newspapers suggest, it might be well for Roosevelt to express his disapproval of Hitler by NOT speaking to him.
Litvinoff 'Resigns'
At Wrong Moment
The displacement of Maxim Litvinoff as Russian commissioner of foreign affairs may throw a monkey wrench into the tentative plans for an Anglo-French-Soviet alliance. His "resignation" may easily signal the beginning of a new Russian policy—one of complete isolation from European affairs, or one of closer friendship with Germany.
It seems regrettable that Litvinoff is leaving his position just before an Anglo-French-Soviet pact would have materialized. For years Litvinoff has argued that the great powers should defend the little countries of Europe—that only by collective assistance pacts could Hitler be stopped. And now that England and France have swung around to his viewpoint, his own country has left him. It is one of those ironies of diplomacy.
Certainly Stalin could not have been dissatisfied with Litvinoff's efficiency. Within a few years the astute, rotund Russian turned the snubs of capitalistic countries into handshakes. He led the Soviet into the League of Nations. He talked many countries into diplomatic recognition of the Soviet government and later worked out trade treaties with them.
It's a Good Chance
Before long Congress must decide whether or not America, traditional haven for the oppressed, should let down the barriers restricting immigration, permitting more than 150,000 foreigners to enter the "land of freedom and opportunity" annually.
Under the existing quota system, thousands of Jewish and political refugees from Germany and Italy will turn to friendly America for help must be refused admittance. Franco's government in Spain has added to the complexity of the problem.
That France does not want to be burdened with the nearly four hundred thousand Spaniards who crossed her border between January and March has become quite evident. The French policy, apparently, is to treat the refugees so badly that they will re-enter Spain. At present they are kept in concentration camps under military guard, where they are underfed and poorly sheltered. On returning to Spain, the refugees are faced with Franco's criminal code which provides a sentence up to fifteen years in prison or exile and confiscation of property for all who contributed to the loyalist cause.
There are some aluristic Americans who believe that regardless of immigration quotas, foreigners suffering from political oppression should be permitted to enter our country. A few advocates of such a policy would limit it to twenty thousand children. More practical-minded Americans, however, seem to fear the consequences of mass immigration. While it is true that among the immigrants there would probably be a few scientists, doctors, and potential professors, the vast majority might not contribute materially to American wealth of culture.
But if the United States wants to give 150-000 distressed persons a chance to start life anew, and if the United States wants to provide for another defence against dictatorship here by adopting the anti-Fascist refugees, the time is certainly ripe for a change in immigrant quota laws.

Fetes No More Celebrate May Day on the Campus
May, according to Webster, is the fifth month in every year, is the springtime of life, and lasts 31 days. Webster speaks about the "merry-anniversary" of technical individuals content that it all depends upon who May is.
Every year we have a month May.
Bv Gene Coleman. c'41
The University used to make quite a "to-do" over May's one and only "May Day." To put on a May fete was nothing unusual black in the 1820s, when more than 350 beautiful brightly colored costumes, fanned around in Memorial Stadium on the evening of May Day.
Naturally, there always has to be a May queen. They used to have May queens all the time at the University; but now, since we don't even observe May Day itself, we haven't any use for a queen at this time of the year. Probably one reason we quit observing May Day on the campus is because the better queens are all used up for other events by the time May Day comes along. Then maybe the reason is that there is no one who wishes to sponsor a fete.
In the 20% the fetes were put on by the University girls' gym classes. We still have girls' gym classes, but they are very different from those for fencer Charles Skilton, of the School

One year the fete was postponed, but the moving picture man was so excited over the event that he even dwell hear of the postponement and came from Topeka to take the pictures. He wan't kicked either, for he returned one week later when the event was held.

No matter how old we become, we still have the historical events to portray, but since we haven't any real history, our partnership to portray the events.
Although May Day fetes have passed into history, we still have the merry month of May. We still have Potter's Lake; we have a golf course; we have pretty girls; we have potential May Day queens gala, and a full moon continues to rise in the east in May.
May is still the springtime of life on the University campus if it does not snow.
Women Amateurs
Slap At Sex
In Sports World
New York, May 5--(UOP) -Commercial interests were charged to today with exploiting girl athletes so place of emphasis on sex in sports.
Sporting goods stores, dress shops and even undertakers were criticized by speakers at the annual eastern district meeting of the women's division of the National Amateur Athletic Federation.
Ebel Bowers, field secretary of the National Recreation Association, said softball leagues promoted by "ball and bat stores and even morticians" were increased by manager schoolgirls who "travel over the country without proper chaperonage and in for cocktail and paama parties."
"It is a case of putting sex into sports, which is the last thing that physical educators want," said Ann Karpman of the executive committee.
"We have got to get away from the Amazon-type woman in commercial sports, whose feminine charms are played above sportsmanship and sometimes ability," she said.
