Kansan Comment
Is There Written Authority for Passes?
Announcement that a clause in the contract with Kay Kyser will prevent the use of passes at the coming Senior Cakewalk in a significant hint that the number of complimentary tickets must be reduced if University students are to hear "name" bands in the future.
When the knife is applied to dance passes, the first stroke should be aimed at the unreasonable privileges of members of Campus student governing bodies—the W.S.G.A. and the M.S.C.
These privileges—which presumably include lifetime admittance to all combined parties—are of hazy origin. Only provision in the M.S.C. constitution for free dance tickets is in section 7 of Bill 14 which reads: "That student council passes shall be honored at all combined parties." There is, however, no authorization of the passes in the constitution.
In Bill 12, dealing with Student Council keys, section 3 decrees that "possession of a Council key shall entitle the possessor to privileges of Student Council members for all times." Again, as in the case of the "Student Council pass" clause of Bill 14, no enumeration of these "privileges" is to be found.
The idea that the right to attend combined dances free is included under privileges of "key" holders, then, apparently is assumed. If the privilege be assumed, the management of varsity dances needs only to refuse admission to the presumative student legislators. For if the council members can assume they have passes, what is to prevent members of Sachem, of Mortar Board, of the Owl Society, or any other Hill organization, from assuming, likewise, that they have passes.
Whether refusing to honor council passes is the proper course depends on whether the men's and women's councils can produce evidence that dance passes are specifically granted. That evidence certainly is not to be found in the M.S.C. constitution.
Highway Markers Picture Kansas History
The first of the new markers to designate historic spots in Kansas has been completed and will be placed at the site of the battle of Black-Jack, scene of one of the early episodes in the career of John Brown and his anti-slavery organization near Baldwin. These signs, which will be placed at nearly two hundred places of more or less historic significance to Kansas, should not only increase state pride, but should cause more national interest in the state.
More than a year ago, a special committee of the state Chamber of Commerce, the secretary of the historical society, and the state highway director began the development of the program. The committee selected sites of historical interest, some of which are of only local value, but many of which are of general interest to the entire nation. From the list the committee has designated fifty to be prepared for the first set of markers.
These signs will be of approximately standard size, made of white cedar not easily deteriorated by the weather. The lettering is burned into the wood. Kirke Mechem, secretary of the historic society, is writing the story for each of these, trying to condense into less than 100 words the outstanding features of the events celebrated. A sketch at the top of the sign burned into the wood gives a picture of the event. Thirty-eight counties are represented in the first fifty historic sites to be marked.
In every case, markers will not be placed at the site of the historic occurrence, but along the main highways at the point nearest the site. The highway commission has obtained extra right of way where necessary for a little roadside park at each marker. In some instances, there will be several signs for a site.
Lawrence, the scene of many historic actions, will be one of the first towns to receive its markers. Constitution Hall, and other points in Topeka, and the Shawnee Baptist Mission, where the first printing of the Indian language began, will also be among the first to be marked.
Until the present time, Kansas has never attempted to use its historic background to commercial advantage as many of its neighboring states have done. The new markers, combined with publicity, should not only play an important role in increasing tourist travel in the state, but better still they should also educate Kansans in the colorful history of their sunflower state.
Sports Crowds Affected With 'Record-Breakingitisnus'
The Kansas Relays last Saturday was another illustration of the fact that during the past two decades the American attitude toward
sports and sportsmanship has taken a decided turn for the worse.
Fans are no langer satisfied unless records are broken. Sporting interest has shifted from a love of the game to a struggle for new records and unbeaten teams. What will happen then, in a few years, after records have reached their limit? What will happen when everyone becomes dissatisfied unless his football team has a perfect score for the season? What substitute will there be for the "victory" complex? The state of affairs might obviously lead to an exaggerated discontent of sports altogether.
When one considers the situation, it seems sad indeed that the attendance at a university depends upon the circumstance of its stadium and that the country-wide prominence of an institution of learning is governed first of all by the beef and brawn of its football eleven or by the success of its star pole vaulter.
Other nations—England, Finland, Australia, and France—pride themselves in playing the game, win or lose, and in the enjoyment of sport for sport's sake. This attitude is rapidly fading in the United States.
No change can be made by Congressional legislation. Not even the A.A.U. can pass a resolution which would alter the viewpoint of the spectators. The attitudes of spectators should be adjusted to a new concept of sports.
Sports writers can aid spectators in the understanding of the game, and in the appreciation of sport as the athlete himself sees it. An emphasis on form, style, and sportsmanship would do much to eradicate the "victory" complex, which has had its origin essentially in the attitudes of the down-town quarterbacks.
It Costs Money To Get Married
The more educated the person, the more i- costs to get married, according to a survey made of 154 "average" couples by Prof. B. F. Timmons of the University of Illinois. And the average cost is $392.30. To the average student, then, finding the amount of money it takes to get married is a problem.
Students who contemplate early marriage are advised to start saving immediately after graduation. For, after all, it would be a shame to go up to the altar and not be able to pay the clergyman his average $10 fee, only one of the many incidentals that total up to $392.30.

An unreconstructed rebel to our liking is the society reporter for the Lawrence Journal-World who still lives at Dickinson Theatre as the Booversock.
For gloomy Mondays we can recommend no better diversion than diving into the Kanson morgue and your university notice of all your professors.

Tomorrow the first contingent of high school musicians will arrive and for the next few days the Campus will be filled with tuba-laden and cornet-blowing youngsters. So if any of your classes are momentarily disturbed by someone in the next room putting in a few last moment touches on his trombone solo, be on hand and take it on the table. A reminder that only a few years ago you were doing the same thing and all the dirty looks in the world couldn't have dampened your spirits an iota.
At the supper May 2, Jack McMichael will speak of his year's experiences in China. Sent by the International Committee of the Y.M.C.A., he lived there for a while with Chinese students and is now touring the U.S. colleges.
Funds from the Bowl-of-Rice supper and from Tag Day, May 3, will be added to the sum raised by a national campaign in American colleges for student relief in the Far East. Last week, the state of China's students were on the move to frontier cities as Sian Chengtu, and Kwennping.
A National Student Relief Committee with headquarters in Shanghai was formed in 1937 under the initiative of the national Y.M.C.A. and W.Y.C.A with Dr. J. Uranag L. president of Chinatour University, an international Fund, such as will be used here May 2 and 3, are distributed through nine local committees in student centers of China their services, select those receiving their services select those receiving aid.

Another notable speech which nerits recorded was that of Olen Oden who demonstrated the proper technique used in milking a cow. His sage advice: "Always use a one legged or three legged stool. If you use a four-legged you're liable to fall into the moving parts."
Pi Phi Eleanor Cavert (who was probably sitting on the front row—if you give it me I mean—and I'm darn sure you do) then asked what the little-doer was dangling on. But Pi Dikon: "Lady you wouldn't know. That's what they give the boys who pay the bills."
