Kansan Comment
The Issue Is Clear
The senior class committee apparently has learned something from other class parties. It has decided that passes to the Senior Cakewalk should be abolished this year. The Men's Student Council has taken no action upon the situation, except to iterate that according to the MSC's constitution it is solely up to the Council whether or not passes are outlawed for that night.
At the Junior Prom there were 58 passes used. The deficit amounted to about $120. The senior class committee figured that with a "name-band" the number of passes used would be about 125 or so—which would make a difference of about $250 in the receipts. And $250 may quite easily mean the difference between profit and loss, the difference between having name bands or not having name bands.
It is hard for any group to vote away some of its privileges. It is not to be expected, then, that the MSC will co-operate with the senior class committee's action if it can find some way of dodging it. The senior class committee should submit the "outlaw-pass" proposal to the MSC and secure a definite vote upon it.
For, although the question of passes to the Senior Cakewalk is only a phase of the problem of the life-time passes awarded to MSC and WSGA members, it is a significant one. The issue is clear. A vote should show whether the members of the Men's Student Council are representatives of all the students or are individuals thinking only of their own interests.
There Ought To Be a Course
College men laughingly accuse coeds of attending school only to get husbands, yet this accusation is not supported by facts. Only fifty per cent of all women college graduates marry, and egotistic male opinion to the contrary this is from choice rather than necessity.
American coeds as a group do not fall into the run-of-the-mine, baby-tending bridge-playing wife without a valiant effort to avoid such a fate. All the years leading up to their marriage American girls have been told that they are the mental and physical equals of the men. All through public schools they have competed scholastically with the men and have proven their capabilities. Then they marry a lord and master.
Admittedly great advances have been made toward a feeling of greater comradeship and understanding between the sexes, particularly since the days of Victorian prudery when wives called their husbands Mr. Husband, and husbands placed their wives on a pedestal and left her there. The American male is still a boy at heart, and in his rosy dreams of a home he pictures locking some lovely creature in his castle of dreams and keeping her within those four walls to make that hypothetical creation a "home."
If women are to be contented wives, they should be sent to special training schools after the eighth grade and there trained to be homemakers. The conflict arises when alert, trained women with a variety of interests are suddenly cooped up in a three-room apartment with no scope for their knowledge . . .
How many more generations of college students must graduate before the University of Kansas offers a much-needed course in marriage? College students have heard too much about the complex life that confronts us to approach the rose-strewn altar with many illusions, but they can and should be given an opportunity to learn a working plan for a successful marriage . . . if such a thing exists.
State Trade, Barriers Help To Bar Recovery
The rise of interstate trade barriers may be checked through the efforts of the Council of State Government, which is now sponsoring a conference of public officials representing forty-four states and four territories. Interstate barriers as exemplified by ports of entry and "inspection" laws are one of the most perplexing and important problems of the nation.
Although the principle of state interference with interstate trade has no defenders from a theoretical standpoint, it is making insidious advances in almost every state by "Spend Your Money at Home" and "Use Local Products" propaganda. Most of the state legislatures in session have passed bills or are considering bills that would really set up tariffs between the states in the United States—though, of course, they are not called tariffs. The variety of obstructions to the free passage of commerce across state lines is growing daily.
Interstate trade barriers are more serious than international tariffs to the United States. They act to make America a set of independent states rather than one united commercial whole.
Much of this country's progress and commercial importance has been due to the fact it has been one free trade area instead of a bunch of selfish little territories with discriminatory laws against "foreign" products. Business, agriculture, and labor have all suffered because of the measures adopted by various states in the vain hope of protecting local products.
Much of the work of the Council of State Governments on this question must be educational. The solution must come through agreements between states, although Supreme Court rulings declaring certain of the more restrictive laws "unconstitutional" will aid. The Council must educate the public, analyze the trade barrier laws, recommend remedial measures, and bring conflicting schools of thought together. The importance of its work is proved by the conviction of numerous experts of both state and federal governments that growing sectionalism is one of the factors that is retarding economic recovery in the United States.

EDITOR'S NOTE. The editors are not responsible for opinions or facts given in the letters published in this column. Letters more than 300 words are subject to review and may be removed, although the name will be withheld if the writer desires.
Editor, Daily Kansan;
Having read your letter "Ramsey written home" to
follow this morning, I am taking the opportunity to
expand on what I have learned.
I am only writing you about the part of the campaign with which I happen to be associated, which may be minor, but I do not know that the references that you made to photos in last Sunday's Star are at fault. In the first place I am sure that on second thought that you will agree both political parties had an even break on the publicity—unless the P.S.G.L.'s got a little edge. The sheet was edited by the *a* Star who was absolutely impartial and had three times as many pictures to choose from as were printed. Secondly, don't you notice that all the photographs and such outstanding and really great girls as "publicity party" members were merely doing their part to help get out the vote in order to have as fair and representative election as possible.
Third, but not leasl, you will recall that I went to the trouble and expense to shoot two pictures of you as soon as it was certain that you would be a candidate and submitted them to the papers. Unfortunately, the Sunday deadline was past, but you got as fair a break as it was humanly possible to give.
If swallowing fish will help your campaign I hope that you swallow a hundred before the election. I'll thank you.
Being just another voter on the Hill, I think it is with justification that I resent the implications and inuences cast against the boys of both parties who are students of KU. a square deal and not a fahy deal.

Although the male portion of our population usually demands that the profession of network work be studied (not "Lamarra," only 11 women will be offered this spring by the University of Kansas as "yes women" for the business men. On the other hand, the teaching business should be well stocked with beauties if the law of averages holds in the case of S12 women who have chosen teaching as their vacation—or vacation. This information was procured from the cards on which everyone who enrolls must write his intended vocation.
Pulchritude to Schools
Beauty Deserts Secretarial Positions For Teaching:
By Gene Coleman
There are 841 men and women in the University who intend to enter the field of teaching in some way or other. That large figure places education on top the list of vocations, but there will be nearly as many business men and women, with a very small percentage some line of business. Strangely enough, 112 of these persons are women.
Six hundred sixty-three men and women have expressed their desire to enter the medical profession. This figure causes one to imagine a crowded profession here, but only among those aspirants places in the medical school, let alone medical degrees from the University. It seems too, that women are becoming less and less opposed to sawing on a human body, since each year finds a larger number of women entering the medical school. This year 29 women jotted down this vocation as their preference to any other.
A goodly amount of green paint will probably be spread in the next few years around Green hall. Engineers outnumber the law students more than two-to-one after counting the pre-laws. If the engineers are as large in physique as they are in total attendance they will probably make the lawyers as unwelcome as mother-in-laws.
Reference frequently is made to Kansas State by University students as the "cow college," but possibly that term would be less readily applied to that school if it were known that of the 4,828 students enrolled at Kansas State there were three of these "country hacks" expected to go back to spread the fertile dirt on farms of their own, however an allowance is usually made
notes'n discords
by John Randolph Tye
When Tom Pendergast was arrested in Kansas City recently, he told the press that "they crucified him on Good Friday too." Try as we may, it is clear that he decided which of the two thieves the political boss was referring to.
Literary note: "With Malice Toward Some" could have waited until next spring.
Hiltler and Mussolini have both ignored the President's peace ultimatum and Washington does not seem to be surprised. But judging from the tone of the message, the only thing that would have surprised the state department would be for Hitler and Mussolini to accept it.
Raised eyebrow department: Prof Henry Ladd Smooth reports that Cholly Knickerbocker, the N.Y. Society reporter, can make or break any society woman in the eastern city.
Just 30 hours from now the campus elections will be over, and believe it or not the university will go right to university, no matter what the outcome.
NEW MANAGEMENT THE HARBOUR
Now that the Shinster has left on the Glee Club tour we can admit that of late his column has improved tremendously. We laughed at one of his recent jokes three times. The first was when Edie Cantor cracked it over the radio, the second when the Marx Bros. used it in a movie, and the third time when we read it in Reader's Digest.
Yesterday this department bowled for the first time. The after effects, we find, are surprisingly akin to the time we went horse-back riding.

Some students are going to the University with no idea of specializing in a subject actually offered by the school, but instead are getting information and a basis for special vocations of their own choice. One male student will be given a two-year course and gets out of school. Some of the work he takes here includes physical education, psychology, sociology, and business. Two other men students expect to enter Uncle Sam's forestry service. Several women will do girl Scout, W.Y.C.A., and Campfire Girl work. There is only one student in veterinary medicine, and one woman studying to become a missionary. Several individuals are looking for service their life work, one of them seeking to be an interpreter.
Five hundred and two individuals have not decided on their vocations yet, but the majority of them are foreigners and sophomore classes of the College.
On the Shin -years of college. Although a scholar of musty Fraser, she is a whiz at math and cracks an A in every course.

Persons who listen to Ken Postlethwaite's news broadcast were astonished yesterday to hear the sill-voiced announcer accompanied by a monoteon solo. The unwelcome solist was Robertson who, on strolling past the News Bureau whence emanate the colorful accounts of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama at "Home On The Range." The sensitive Mike picked up the raucous noise and presto chango, the Shinster was on the air.
Thought on reading W. A. White's letter to Ramasay: I'd swap Frank Strong强学 and my chances for an A.B. to have a man with the un-anticipated flavor of *a flavour* of the Emporia sage for an adviser come advising time.
Political musings: Just what does Ramsey say of Bill Farmer? Wonder if students really think PSGL was dumb enough to put out that stinker on Oakson? I don't. What did Ms. Hancock, the oil politicians who wake you from slumberland at 12 midnight to explain their ridiculous platforms.
Jean Boswell thinks I look like John Carrine the screen villain. I tell Jean she looks like the beautiful, languorous Garbo but it doesn't stick. A lying man can never outface a truthful woman.
There's a feat at the Phil Dhi cabin in the hills between the tough element on third and woody-gooies on second. Charles Curry was recently accused of throwing rotten eggs at his brothers in the third floor sleeping porch. To retaliate the girls, he found and boiled them. When thrown, there was a mess of eggs—the kind you sink a tooth into.
