Kansan Comment
Walter and Eddie Aren't Statesmen
Where is all this hysterical "Americanism" exemplified by the radio howling of Walter Winchell and Eddie Cantor leading us? Does it do one ounce of good to build deliberately race hatred the way these two men are doing it?
These men put on a magnificent show of love for the United States, and yet are doing their utmost to lead the country directly toward war. Rebuffs and insidious connotations do not make for international good will.
Both believe that they are doing a good work. It is easy to see their point. If, however, they think they are hurting the dictators, they are mistaken. Possibly they may cause Hitler or Mussolini to curse quietly once in a while, but this is not probable because it is doubtful whether either the dictators ever heard of the two Americans.
Granted, however, Winchell and Cantor cause the two dictators a little trouble. But while they are doing this to Germany and Italy, they are causing the United States a great deal of trouble. By their unconsidered spoutnings they have done the same thing that British propaganda did in 1917. They have brought the United States to the "road to war."
There are a few people in the United States who like the methods of the dictators, but they are content and intelligent enough to leave statesmanship to statesmen. This is what Winchell and Cantor should do.

Students Fly
On N.Y.A. Funds
The federal government's plan to give aeronautical training to 20,000 college students may well be one measure in which the government has assumed too much control of educational institutions. The plan, now in progress at the University and twelve other schools, will be in effect five years, and, if successful, should turn out student aviators at the rate of 300 a semester. These men will have private pilot licenses and will be trained sufficiently that they can be pressed into service with little additional training in case of war.
Contrary to popular belief, the air training program is not backed by the U. S. Army or the U. S. Navy. The money is coming from the funds of the National Youth Administration, and the measure is being supervised by the Civil Aeronautics Authopty. The army's sole participation was in giving the final physical examination, a rigid examination which at the University selected only ten men from the 130 who applied.
Civilian aviation instructors are paid $5 an hour to teach the college students. With a tremendous number of trained men already in the government service, one wonders why some of these men could not have been used in the collegiate training program with quite a reduction in expenditures. But perhaps the army training of the students would have been too pointed a presumption of control, and then, too, any mention of economy in government spending is only a relic of the horse and buggy days.
Perhaps America does need a stronger air force, but if that is true, the government, through the Army and Navy and their many divisions, should have adequate facilities and opportunities for training aviators.
According to the President, the purposes of the program are to provide the United States with a large reserve of trained aviators at a lower cost than regular army training, and to make the nation air-conscious.
Kansas University maintains a valuable service to Kansas in the correspondence division of the extension bureau which provides education off the Campus.
Extension Division Fills Many Needs
In the latest report from the bureau, 2965 students are enrolled and active in correspondence study. The greater number of these are residents of Kansas. The number enrolling for the first time totals 1044. The different courses now enrolled in total 1123 and include both high school and college credit courses.
Many high school students who miss school because of illness, changing schools or taking time out to work on the farm find they can keep up with their classmates by taking correspondence study. Some small secondary school students who plan to attend college supplement their schools' limited curriculum in this way.
Another group aided by this service includes those students taking studies for college credit. In this group are those who have dropped out of school and plan to return later, students who desire to graduate in less than the usual four years and rural teachers who are studying for degrees or state certificates. The latter at one time formed the largest enrollment but in recent years the teaching profession has become overstocked and the number of teachers registered in correspondence courses has decreased.
Still another group which takes advantage of this education through the mails includes those whom the extension bureau terms "athletic cases." They are students who during the summer make up courses they have failed in so they will be eligible to compete in athletics.
The correspondence bureau also meets the need of a number of older people in the teaching or business professions. Many of these take the courses for non-credit. Some teachers find this a helpful way to brush up on subjects, such as sociology, psychology and history, which are constantly introducing new ideas and materials. Business men find that taking, correspondence courses in rhetoric, business correspondence and foreign languages is a convenient way of adding to their knowledge. An interesting number of people who would like to write, now can take courses in versification and the short story.
So while more fortunate students are receiving their education on the Hill, our state university through its extension service provides "mail order" education for many in their homes.

Musings and Mutterings Mumbled at Mid-Term
Must reduce before I go home vacation . . . Won't eat desert tomorrow, better not go down for lunch either (my roommate give a bit bored when she bears this everyday) . . . I feel awful about eating her fruit, but I will eat it I live 200 miles away and my folks don't believe in eating between meals.
Scratches from a college girls en:
The best column on spring to appear in the Kansas press this season came from the pen of Nellie Webb of the Athelion Globe. This veteran of the newspaper business discussed the business succinctly in the following words: "Oh, hum. Spring fever."
We would like to compliment the Shinster on his column for the last week or so. He has shown more originality than we thought him capable of. We only wish he wouldn't confine it to his spelling.
Caught another mouse today, that makes three caught with 'hit and three-without bait . . . pretty soon we won't need the trap . . . If an other perfume bottle gets on our dresser, I won't be able to see myself in the mirror . . . The feeling of hatred against the world that comes to me when I see people playing bridge and I have two mid-semesters the next day. . . Ninety-nine per cent of girls' conversations are perc

notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye
"Deep Purple" is still holding its own on Hillkakelodone despite the fact that it has been on most of them for over 10 weeks. That should be some kind of a record for popular music.
Now we know, what entymology professors do on their nights off, they dream of composing military narcissus for millipides.
Raised Eyebrow Department: Jeen Bowell and Betty Burrows entertaining a booth-full of admirers with their rudition of "it's just as hard for us to be a bad girl as it is" or others to be good."
In the last week Hitler has practically taken over Memel. For anyone else this might be regarded as a threat, but Hitler could-could it be that he is slipping?

Scouts report that seven British lecturers have spoken in Kansas within the last month which seems to give credence to the statement that England expects every American to do his duty.

Diary of a Saturday Nighter: Off to the University club first, she sees professors and wives have fun. They all appeared to be slightly shocked and mildly amused at Roberta Mitchell, who came to sing with the Modern Choir wearing a grass skirt—her costume at the Sigma Chi party . . . Prof A. J. M called the "John Paul Jones" in fine style, but I was disappointed when nobody broke into the "lippy-lippity-light" a dance creation Ladd Smith says he enjoys imminent arrest. He hurriedly when Prof J. G. Blocker, the party host, began carum-mimbing omnithously, eying me and the door almost simultaneously.
Do college students ever discuss intellectual things any more? . . . One always says too much in a bull-session . . .
boys . . . I get a dizzy feeling when watching students migrate between classes . . .
Although my roommate is no bot-
tany major we live with 23 plants in
the room . . . whenever the nervous
tension of studying is too much she
gets up and waters them . . . Result:
most of the mare drowning to death.
Themen to the A.D. Pi party, where having admired the Ferdinand murals and decorations created by Mark Alexander, Loid talk for a moment with Byron Schroeder, who explained at great length just why and how he happens to be the first boy in 35 years to take "home nursing". . . Notes that Darius Williamson, little sister of Evelyn, was also told notes that L. E. Willetts is the part on a dance floor of her big sister, D. J. . . Was told that my arrival came too late to hear Barbara Edmonds give forth with three songs . . . and that the photo flashes were all camera clickings by Tom Bowles who was possibly making a series of Peggy Dodd for "Life Goes to a Party."
... Which brings me to the question
why do people let bath tubs run
over? ... I could never understand
that.
Every sorority ought to have a separate mail box for each girl . . . and a telephone in each room. Teachers that hesitate too long between words cause a drowsy feeling to come over a student . . . Psychology is simple thought dressed up in clothes that don't bother boys but put them in girls' places sometime and imagine what girls would like?
I dislike anybody who shirks responsibility, yet I would do the same thing if I were in his place . . . .
Where will I get the money for new spring clothes? . . . By July I'll probably end up with a pair of saddle shoes . . . Too many people are oigen-toed . . .
Model of sorority spirit: The girl who is monotone and just opens and closes her mouth at song practice. . . Baseball season in women's intramurals is a good excuse for wearing shorts. . . Till vote against women headwaters everytime. . . I feel self conscious when hunting for a booth in a college coking place. . . People give you such a stony stare.
Must mail my laundry tomorrow and wash my hair. I . . wish I could think of a new way to fix it that my roommate would like too. The great problem; whether one should make good grades and not have so much fun, or not make good grades and have more fun.

UNIVERSITY CITY
More than 4,500 young men and women at the prime of life, receptive to thenewand different, associate and interact in hundreds of activities from dance to classroom—in a city within a city—on the hill.
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. The official publication of the University of Kansas is the only medium which reaches ALL students, every day, with a medium of time and expense to the advertiser.
Mr. Merchant, are you receiving your share of business from University City?
