Kansan Comment
Chamberlain Regrets This Time Bitterly
Great Britain's inaction during Germany's annexation of Bohemia, Moravia, and the setting up of Slovakia as an "independent" state under Nazi supervision reveals that Great Britain and France are as great breakers of pacts as Germany.
For under the agreement reached at Munich, the two great European democracies agreed to defend the new Czechoslovakia state from aggression. But Hitler marched—and England stood still.
An American alliance with Great Britain, now clearly revealed as "perfidious Albion," would be used to defend England's interests only, even as England has used all the other treaties for her own advantage and has broken them whenever it looked as if she might get into trouble. The policy of appeasement means nothing more than England for England—let the small countries, treaty or no treaty, moral responsibility or no moral responsibility, go to "Heil Hitler." To Great Britain, as well as Germany, France, Japan, and Italy, an international agreement is only a scrap of paper.
Prime Minister Chamberlain, perhaps suffering from an attack of conscience, told the House of Commons, "I bitterly regret Germany's occupation of Bohemia and Moravia."
it is to be hoped that on the day Hitler marches his legions down the streets of London amid the cheers and boos of the English people that the President of the United States will inform Congress: "I bitterly regret Germany's latest move."
Can We Stand Thirty Days in February?
All lovers of uniformity and non-irregularities will be overjoyed to learn that the We want new Calendar Association is still pressing for revision of the year's calendar. The proposed calendar would have the same twelve months as now, but all months would have 30 days except March, June, September, and December which would have thirty-one. Thus there would be three months and thirteen weeks in each quarter. An extra day would be tacked on at the end of each year, and an extra day in the middle of each leap year make the days and years come out even at midnight.
Such a plan would have many advantages. Every three months would be equal to every other three months, and vice versa. The same days of certain months would always come on the same day of the week, e.g. Christmas, New Year's day, and Sundays would come on Sunday. You could, therefore, remember what day of the week your birthday came on if you could remember what day of the month (and what month) it came on. And one calendar would last literally for years, saving lots of money for somebody.
But such a change would take the elements of chance and fate out of the days. The mystery of what day is when would be solved. No more would people learn the old nursery jingle:—“Thirty days has so-forth.” No more would people invent and buy these perpetual calendar gadgets to find out whether their great grandson or so was born on a Friday the thirteenth. People would no longer know the lure of the unknown and the unknowable. The last frontier of ignorance will have been conquered.
To arms, ye hearties! Are you going to allow yourself to be regimented by an inhuman, mechanical, almost rational calendar?
New Methods Assist Education of Blind
An important and progressive step in the education of the blind is the talking-book which has grown in popularity during the last few years.
Since their introduction, these sound-recorded books have been fast replacing those written in Braille. These records provide reading in every field of literature and by this method good literature is carried to those who cannot finger read and proves to be a far less tedious way than the Braille system.
Recorded on discs by professional readers, these records form a portfolio which makes up a volume. Fifteen or sixteen make an average book, although "Henry Esmond" took thirty-two discs and the New Testament required forty.
British as well as American works are obtainable and most of the classies have been recorded. Incidental music and special sound effects have been included in many of the recordings.
Public libraries receive these sets from the Library of Congress. In some cases phonographs have been provided for those blind who cannot afford to buy them.
At the public library in Cincinnati which registers 2,300 blind readers, the use of the new
records have been replacing the older system in popularity to a great extent. For people who are both blind and deaf, however, the Braille system will continue to be an aid to education.
The education of the blind, a long neglected field, will be aided greatly through the invention of sound recorded literature.

Player Landes Coach
To the Editor:
Have you been down to football practice later? If you have, you couldn't help but notice the new spirit that prevails on the dear old practice field. Gwinni Henry really has what it takes to be a good football coach, of course I'm just one of the 71 who reported for practice, but if you don't believe me just ask any of us.
Last year the old grind of going out and hearing the same few simple sentences repeated day after day, and running our "three" plays until we could do it blind-fold truly became quite tiresome.
Coach Henry has this year a group of plays that he has worked with for more than ten years. They have been proven effective. And I'll bet three to one they will have the fans upon their feet felling for more next
Of course it is a little early to start predating, but under the capable leadership of our present coaching staff I sincerely believe that K. U. will be feared in the Big Six next fall.
S. A.
You Figure It Out—I Can't
I wish to take this opportunity to thank the person or persons who removed a pair of tennis shoes from in locker in the Robinson gym男士 room. In room 23, we have a separate tennis shoes only cost me 65 cents anyway, and were only a minor part of the value of the entire contents of my room. I hope you will harden to break (it only cost 15 cents at the Kress store)
Back in dear old Cedar Vale high school (yeah, in Kansas) I had a locker for four (4 years) and I never used a padlock. I never lost any during the enrolment. My locker is hard to lock. The locker is hard to safe four hours let alone four years.
Psychology they tell us that children do not have, a sense of belongingness. The sense of belongingness supposedly becomes more and more a part of a pere student. College students are older than high school students.
You figure it out—I can't.

Jayhawker of 1916 Christened With Holidav
One of the most publicized issues of the annual came off the press two years before America entered the war.
By Agnes Mumert c'40
On May 2, 1916, Chancellor Frank Strong dismissed classes' for the ceremony of the presentation of the Jayhawkward hold on the east steps of Foster hall. The band played a room to claim their cloth editions for two dollars, leather for three dollars, or the "extra fine" editions
notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye
The South isn't the only section that still fights the Civil War. Peggy of the Flint Hills recently referred to "the martyrdom of John Brown."
The Alpha and Omega of something or other: Bob Rhodes and Bill Fey study Plato assiduately at Beck's during breakfast while the spokesman regulated them with her result (via Cote Porter's "The Physician").
If to have a reputation for being well read this spring it will first be necessary to have read either of the two editions of Adolf Hitler's "Mein Kampf," we are giving up right now, as we don't intend to read the book. If Hitler writes as he speaks, he probably spends five pages in saying what he would be told in writing through the book. A good condensation will suffice for us, enticing notices of unexpurgated editions notwithstanding.
At least the French and British signatures on the last agreement that guaranteed the new boundaries of France have looked nice while they lasted.
Huck Wright's new beard is not an attempt to emulate Tyrone Power in "jesse James," but a sign of loyalty and a reminder of the citizenry and reviving frontier times by growing beards. Or attempting to, as *in* the case of Wright.
Speaking of "Jesse James," the best criticism of the picture we heard was from a dear old lady who said that Tyrone Power wasn't the Jesse James he had read about.
Kansas is the place where when you write a column about spring, it is winter when it is published.

Shinister will expose and verbally denounce them. In the first place, why do freshmen rhetoric students have to read a story like that in the first place?
As Les Combs and Bob Busler ascended the steps to enter the Phi Pai mansion Friday night after the pan-helping party, some first year fellows dropped a stunkble扎夫 two-by-four on them from a balcony above. In turn, hurt, but it all goes to prove that boys will be boys—even Phi Pai's.
Came warm Monday and Alpha Chi's exited to the second deck of their front porch to bask in the sun's rays, to play bridge, and to send forth some of the terribile barbershop harmony Hillvillians have heard in years. Came cold Tuesday and the girls went back inside, thereby giving neighbors something to sing about.
Recently a live drawing class in the School of Fine Arts was disrupted when an officer of the law went in and took away the masculine model. The school is now in association with people connected with the School of Fine Arts.
Mary Robeleen Scott, after taking a breece spin or two in Josephine, the model T Ford belonging to Lou Fockele, renamed her "True Love." Because, says Mary, "it never did run smooth." Poor old Josephine does have her ups and downs—especially the tires.
"Tis said that Pat Eisenhower makes Chuck Godfrey call her just before he goes up on an instruction and again the minute he lands safely.
A Frivolous Yearbook
Perhaps because they felt the deadly seriousness of the approaching war, the editors produced a frivolous yearbook. "Probably the most novel feature of this year's book are the 'Lip Impression' pages showing the kind of kisses given by the 12 women in the University having beautiful mouths," said an article in the University Daily Kansn. Future students were left to wonder if there were only 12.
Accompanied by a 50-word exposition on the particular merits of each, the impressions were given such titles as "The Elusive Kis" or "The Miserable Man." The editor refused to name the owners, but listed the initials.
Another section of the edition was advertised as "A spicy calendar by Maureen McKernon and Fuzz Rathfonn." Several pages honored sophomores and Oread High School students. In advance publicity, the president of the Burger Engraving company which had the contract for the cuts described the book that year as the finest school annual ever printed in the Middle West.
Have $500 Deficit
But life has not always been easy for Jayhawk editors. In 1912, when positions on the staff were honorary and not remunerative, the annual was published with much fanfare and a deficit of $500. Appeals were made to the seniors to make up the loss, and two months after commencement staff members were still sending out circular letters asking for more money. The Kansas City Star said of the venture:
"The annual this year—bigger, better and more artistic than ever before —was produced 'without graft.' It is the first annual the publisher releases of a new book. The editor and business manager to make anywhere from $500 to $1000."
Liberty Bell Edition
In 1918 a "Liberty Bell" edition was published and during the following year a "Peace Book." Because of the military conditions on the Fill it was decided early in the fall that it would be impossible to print a Jayhawk. The ensuing disapproval set students to work, and the annual came out as usual. Because of the presence of the Students' Army Training Corps, it was a memorable year at the University, a year which offered a dirth of material for a school annual.
The press agent promised that the Jahaykwer would be out on June 6. Students were skeptical. Working time was too short. But out it came, and the Kansan said, "Here's it." It fulfilled the press agent's request to study at the University during the year of the end of the war and the beginning of the peace and the life of the S.A. T.C. It sums up well this strangest and most difficult year in the history of the University of Kanass
Education Mixen May Be Annual
Approximately 175 students and graduates in the School of Education attended the school's mixer and camp for children from 7 to 10 in Robinson gymnasium.
The evening was a huge success according to Miss Mateel Rich, secretary. The fine attendance to the event must also make the event an annual affair.
The entertainment committee, headed by Bert Nash, professor of education, furnished games to interest every member. Among the diversions were: shuffle-board, swimming, badminton, cards, dancing, Chinese checkers, and community singing.
Refreshments were sedwed by Miss Mateel红Rich, assisted by Mrs. Alma Hulteen. Sandwiches, pies, cofetables and bait balls comprised the 'uifet supper.
The purpose of the mixer was to increase the solidarity and espirit de carp of students and faculty of the school. At the request of the student, the faculty was introduced to further the organization together.
Gibson Speaks on Czechoslovakia

Estes Park Drive Opens With Talk by Davis
Dr. W. W. Davis, head of the history department, will speak on "Mountains of the World," describing the many ranges he has seen, at an Estes rally Sunday afternoon. The meeting will be the beginning of the spring drive to enlarge the delegation which will attend the Estes conference in Colorado next June. About one hundred University men and one hundred University women have been contacted in an effort to interest them in the conference.

Hour after hour they thumbed through book after book in the library—all to no avail. Then one of them had a happy idea—why not telephone the city's Mayor? They did—and in a few minutes had all the information they needed.
No matter what the question—in college, in social life, in business—you'll find the telephone is often the quickest, most economical way to get the answer.
