Kansan Comment
Can Germany Absorb the Czechs?
Germany continues its amazing success in bringing new territories under the rule of the Reich. The question persists, however, whether it is possible for the Nazi government to absorb these people so thoroughly that they will become an integral part of the German realm. Hitler aims to make the new Germany a single block. It is doubtful whether millions of foreigners can be taken into this monolith without splitting it.
Attempts have been made in the past year to remake Austria, now merely the province of Ostmark, into the rigid German pattern. The attempt has been dissatisfactory and this is realized by Hitler, as well as other officials of the Nazi government.
The difference lies partially in a difference in temperament. The Germans readily accept discipline and do what they are told without grumbling. The Austrians, who have more of a happy-go-lucky philosophy, are not accustomed to the Prussian way of life. They do not enjoy being ordered around.
A large part of Austria welcomed its union with Germany. They believed that the results would be extremely desirable. Regardless of this, the fact remains that they do not like the restrictions that have been imposed upon them. They react by passive resistance that is wholly puzzling to their new rulers, who are accustomed to being obeyed implicitly.
The question of assimilation of the Czechs and the Slovakes brings even greater problems to the Reich. These people were almost unanimously opposed to the union with Germany; but no matter how dissatisfied they are with the present arrangement, they are powerless against their powerful masters at this time. During times of peace, they will form in Germany a conflicting element that would be wholly undependable in times of war.
What About the New Deal After 1940?
Students of political trends recently have expressed the belief that President Roosevelt has for the present not only abandoned the idea that he may be chosen by the next Democratic National Convention to run for a third term but also relinquished the hope that he may be able to influence the nomination of a 100-percent new dealer as his successor.
Friends of the President have reported that he is losing interest in the outcome of the next convention, and that he believes a reactionary will be chosen. He still holds a silent threat over the Democratic party, and the feeling is still abroad that he may be able to defeat any candidate who does not have his approval.
Two groups of new dealers have emerged from the November elections. The group led by Thomas G. Corcoran believes that President Roosevelt would make a mistake in compromising with the conservatives, or in attempting to placate business. The other group, represented by Harry L. Hopkins, believes the future of the movement headed by the President is dependent upon business recovery.
Mr. Hopkins, due to his attitude of compromising with business interests, is losing caste with the real new dealers, while his standing with business is improving. He has walked out on his old colleagues who directed the purge of the Democrats last year. He now favors an amendment of the Wagner Act and revision of the tax laws to restore business confidence.
President Roosevelt is caught between opposing viewpoints. He wants business recovery to justify the reforms he has initiated, but he is unwilling, nevertheless, to discard the reforms he has brought about. Whatever course he takes, it is admitted not only by his friends, but also by his enemies that he will continue to be a compelling factor in the political life of the country for many years.
That Hedy Gal Gets the Girls!
The following editorial on the Hedy Lamar
nobility is reprinted from the Daily California.
I don't know how the rest of you women feel about it, but I'm certainly glad that Hedy Lamarr got married. Now maybe we can have an end to all this Hedy talk.
It was getting so that all men could ever talk about was Hedy's eyes, her skin, her hair. That hussy. I'll bet she doesn't know a thing about the migratory worker problem, the Spanish civil war, the CIO, or even the AFL.
Now I know a lot of campus women, not excluding myself, who can talk very intelligently on each and every one of those subjects. But every time I say to a fellow, "How about the migratory workers?" all I get from him is, "Oh, that Hedy." It's very discouraging, really.
I'm sure that others feel the same way about it. Only the other day a girl came up to me and
t said, "What are we going to do about this Lamarr girl? I'm losing my guy on account of her." I told her frankly I didn't know.
Really, I'm not jealous, but this Hedy idolism has got to stop. After all, she's only a woman.
Right here at Cal there are millions of girls every bit as pretty as she is—and smart too. Though I've never met Hedy, I am sure that she can't have an awful lot on the ball and still look like that. All she does, anyway, is walk on the screen, open her big blue eyes, and begin acting.
Now the point is, which is more important looks or brains. We, of the uglier school, definitely think a high I.Q. is by far more necessary to a full and happy life.
But the butter's can't see that. And it's really so obvious. All they can see is Hedy.
But to top it off, they will probably think that now she's married, she has added a certain undefinable something to her personality, a new light in her eyes that before had gone unnoticed.
What do they see in her? That cat.
To the Editor:
Campus Opinion
I suppose that everyone sooner or later must add his contribution to the campus opinion column. Some find time to be viridile. Others are only amusing. I hope mite is neither.
I question the value of your editorial on the "Honor Societies."
In the first place you set about to make the honor societies on honor. That same cry has been resonating among students for a long time. Honor Society of the high school to—well, now it Sachem and the Owl Society. We both agree. I suppose, that honor societies are necessary, just like a football team. They have an impact. Honors go for the high calibre of members—just look at it this way. Mistakes could probably be found in your newspaper, or in your email address. So go for it as soon as you call it something besides a newspaper.
It's the same with the honor societies. Mistakes have been made in the past and probably a few will be made in the future. To draw an accurate line between the good and the not so good is a mighty hard
But, I offer the suggestion that those who try to draw this line are plenty sincere in their choices. I can offer them anything concrete in the way of persons who should be considered for membership.
One thing more. As for tradition—you and I, along with 400 others would be the first one to snicker at some corny demonstration thought up just to make the societies more glamorous. Traditions can't be cooked like stews. They've got to grow. If K.U. has not grown, I'm sure they'll speak well for the emotional maturity of the lawykhaws.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not incensed—just doubt ful.

Persons who can't stretch their money and many with whom money is taken for granted, find a cultural resource in a series of free lectures at Cleveland.
An aids' audience assembles an hour early at a McBride lecture. A person must arrive that early to be sure of a seat. Many remain after the doors are closed in the hop that someoneaves and make room for another.

The series this year is observing its 25th anniversary, with an enthusiasm given seidum to the pincerer iddle of the spoken word.
Held in "University Circle"
The lectures are held in Severance hall, an elaborate church-like build
notes'n discords
by John Randolph Tye
In the morning mail from England comes a complimentary copy of "The Northerner", a humorous magazine published by the students of King's College, Newcastle Upon Tyne, in the University of Durham, of which the Rt. Hon. Lord Eustace Percy, M.A., D.C.L, LL.D is rector. If anyone is curious to know what British college humor is like, we hasten to report that it is just what you'd expect from a college whose Rector is the Rt. Hon. Lord Eustace Percy, M.A., D.C.L, LL.D.

In one article of "The Norrberner," a woman student who had spent the holidays in the States (boy, are we catching on) reports that the thing that made them famous was Amor can students ask for "toe-mayee" juice at breakfast.
Another rumor squelched: "B6" is not the phone number of the Sour Owl owl office although it is easy to see how the rumor got started.
This department has a deadline fifteen minutes ago which explains why things like the above happen even against our better judgment.
Now that both parties have brought out their candidates for president of the M.S.C. all that is needed to get the ground ready for the election campaign is a nice, oozy spring rain.
Hilter we understand doesn't like Italian wine because it makes him feel like the Duce.
Having long been depended upon as a source for all sorts of useless information, Ye Shinstar happily reports that it takes 32 pigs squealing to make twice as much noise as one pig squealing. The mere mention of this exceedingly interesting phenomenon is guaranteed to brighten up any dull table conversation. Try it sometime.

In reply to yesterday's lead item,
the student dance manager misses
the following message, to witt:

Pa-What are you going to do with the chicken farm you start from the eggs you have left over?
ing given by the late John L. Severance, a Cleveland industrialist, to be the home of the Cleveland orchestra. The hall is near the center of the city's "University circle," the site of a college and a university, the Cleveland museum of art, a park and several churches.
Noble fellow that I am, I have decided that if and when I start a chicken farm I shall stand at the door of the Union building and give each of your varsity customers, or suckers in the case may be a free chicken in an effort to help them not their money's worth.
A gift of $7,300 to Western Reserve University in 1909 by the late J. H. McBride, in memory of his son, William C. M. McBride, which the lecture-sari idea idea
McBride did not specify how the fund was to be used. But six years later, his surviving sons and daughters dedicated it to the memory of their father, mother and brother and increased it to $50,000.
In college, children can do that sort of thing with a clear conscience because it's lightly called "cutting class." Back in high and grade school days the terminology employed was "playing hooky" — and there was always the truant officer to contend with.
The first speaker, in the fall of 1914, was Sir Harry Hamilton Johnston. He spoke, in five lectures on "The British Empire and its Problems."
While in Topica Monday noon, Ye Shinater noted Fred Lake luncheoning with Miss B. Patton at Walgreen's.
Then they stipulated that it be used in presenting prominent lectures free to the public.
British Lecturer First
Lectures since have been made by such authorities as Prof. John Bassett Moore, Dr. William Cunningham, Dr. R. S. Naon, Argentine ambassador to the United States, and Prof. Arthur Keith.
This year, the series has brought Henry C. Wolfe, foreign correspondent and author, who spoke on the topic in a lecture at Hansen, New York literary critic.
Other lecturers this year have included Theos Bernard, explorer; Gordon B. Enders, author, and Dr Theodore Wilhelm, professor of education at Oldenburg, Germany, discussing Youth of today.
Sincerely
A McBride lecture audience is a cross-section of the nation's sixth city. Present are professional men and women, shop workers, students, the old and the young. Frayed coat sleeves rub elbows with mink wraps.
Harvard Motif Used In Graduation Plans
In celebrating its seventy-fifth anniversary the University is leaving no stone unturned to remind students of its founding in 1864. Because the University in its early days was built up by Amos B. Lawrence, a former Harvard University treasurer, the committee in charge of commencement announced that Dr. James B. Conant, president, would be the principal speaker at the commencement exercises.
When the colors "Crimson and Blue" were selected for the new
school on Mount Oread, the "Crimson" was taken from the Harvard Crimson and the "Blue" was adopted as a tribute to the Yale men who helped in the founding of the University.
Doctor Conant, the twenty-third president of Harvard, is one of the youngest men to hold that position.

They hold hundreds of thousands of dollars at their command to spend in Lawrence . . . BUT WISELY! A recent survey* shows that 93 per cent of men's clothing bought during 1938 was purchased in stores which advertise regularly in the Daily Kansas.
