PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 1939 Kansan Comment Is There an Einstein Among Chinese Students? Picture, if you can, what the world would be without Albert Einstein—who celebrates his sixtieth birthday today. His development of the theory of relativity has changed man's whole thinking about the universe and about space and time. Now he is said to be working upon the problem of gravitation, attempting to place it in a more general, inclusive system. The world could have done without Albert Einstein, but it would have been a tragic, an irremediable loss. But the world would have suffered that loss if Einstein had not been allowed to continue his education at the University of Zurich. If circumstances had deprived him of the advantages of a college education, his achievements might well have been non-existent. Today 20,000 students in China are unable to continue their education because of the lack of funds to transport themselves from the war zone to the interior of the country where the universities are still trying to function. They number forty per cent of China's college students. Many brilliant scholars are undoubtedly among them. And although they have the desire to continue studying, to finish their education, they are stranded in the coastal region. A world-wide organization—The Far Eastern Students Fund Society—has been formed to aid these students and to enable them to continue their interrupted education. This year's quota for the United States is $50,000. A committee to help raise this money has been appointed on this campus and is now making plans for a 'tag' day to be held in the near future. The possibilities of finding the next generation's Einstein in this group are surely worth $50,000 of American money. And if there is not one, the money will be more than repaid by the benefits of having several thousand educated and enlightened persons who can reconstruct China after the disastrous war is over. The world cannot miss educating the potential Einstein of the next generation. Legislators Should Learn About Women There are too many bachelors in the Missouri legislature. Otherwise, how do you account for the bill that was recently introduced into the legislative body at Jefferson City which prohibited the sale of shoes with the toes and heels missing? Thirty-two members of the house of representatives signed the bill. Every one of them must have been a bachelor. No married man would have dared thus try to regulate women's fashion. The legislators, of course, were big-hearted. They outlawed the open-toe and heel-less footwear except from June to September. During the summer months, women could wear the new-fangled footware to their heart's content. But the law-makers were novices at the art or they would have known that to forbid a woman to wear what she wants is the surest way to make her want to wear it. Don't Drive as Though Rehearsing for Death! "He drives as if he were rehearsing for an accident," Walter Winchell wrote recently in his column. The radio pundit might have added that, judging from the number of accidents, many Americans drive as if rehearsing not only for an accident, but for death. Deaths from automobile accidents during the hours of nightfall increased 54 percent from 1930 through 1937. However, deaths during daylight decreased 5.4 per cent even though three times as many automobiles were operated during the daytime. Traffic experts believe that much of this night-time slaughter is due to night-blindness, and to eliminate this, they are continually devising physical safeguards. To further the same end, automobile manufacturers are steadily improving headlights and equipment, and public officials are struggling to put into force whatever legal restrictions may be necessary to curb these crashes. But the most recent developments have been directed at the individual drivers and pedestrians themselves. After much experimenting, scientific tests have proved that foods which are high in vitamin A content have a striking effect upon vision, and the records of persons whose diets include many of these foods show the degree of night-blindness is greatly diminished in them. Death after dark is becoming more serious every day. Night-time fatalities jumped from 22,000 in 1936 to 25,000 a year later. Safety at night, however, will never be achieved through the efforts of a few engineers, public officials and law-makers—that alone is not enough. The combined efforts of forty million drivers and a hundred million pedestrians will be required to accomplish it. We regret that we have not kept in closer touch with the news of the Sino-Japanese fray, which seems to be getting more interesting. A headline tells us: "Trap Troops in China" with the subdeck: "Each Side Reports Encircling Soldiers of Other." Campus Opinion Stags Are Victims Only Editor, Daily Kansan: As a member of the stars who seem to have irritate a fair damself at the last mid-week, I would like to ex press the feeling in the hearts of at least one of the uninterested members of my family. The abiding desire is in a field of our own, but giving credit to the less fortunate, let's consider their angle. Glacimin at the student directory, one can readily see that the stern sex is in the majority about three to one. This makes it easier to the over-supply of stags that turn out at our mid-weeks. The OAO-worshipher suggested a charge of five cents a cut. I believe that would be a bit steep in the opinion of most stags from the whispera We heard around the campus. The "things" just don't seem to think the state is one big group. "Now let's consider another angle: Suppose there were three girls to one lug. Do you think the turtured little OAO-worshipher would be beeing now? Well, I'm no judge of much, but maybe they would be doing the best. Much less, much an OAO It seems that if the AOA-worshiper and her kind are held with the same loyalty by her Joe, he shouldn't take her to the mid-week to be contaminated by the "rough and rugged." Of course, without stamps, I'm sure the two AOAs together would enjoy heaven-with-nature. I don't think they'd bother. I definitely like just that word "drifting" though because with numerous fairies, it takes a football man to keep them allloat. I think this may be blamed on the tendency of the coeds to dance with their own kind. It has developed a wrong impression of the gay pastime to the extent that many students have followed the new learned. One thing we do have to give the indies credit for is the interest they have taken in dance and its history, and this course offered on the Hill. Last mid-week I noticed several of the dancers-fair were wipping their arms around themselves as if dancing. Of course this is a symphathetic posture toward aviation. Now to go so far as to shoot the surplus stags seems a bit unnecessary. Im sure there isn't a stag on the Hill who would trouble a satisfied coed the second time if she refused to work with her OAO at a mid-week. I won't say that they are unprofessional, but college girls are supposed to be good sports. If they're not: it's our mistake. We're sorry.

President-elect Compliments New Counci A position on the council is not a new thing to the newly elected official who was freshman secretary during her first year in college, and treasurer of the W.S.G.A. the past year. Although it takes a lot of effort to become a treasurer as she has always been interested in women's politics. By Mary Lou Kandall, 'cunel, "Really, I don't know how I feel about being elected. I only know that I'll be a lot of work," exclaimed dark-haired Veliom Wilson, president-elect of the W.S.G.A. Concerning the W.S.G.A., she stated that it was not a static organization. One of the things that she does not like is the way the elections are conducted. She hopes to be able to explain her problem during her term of office. Speaking of the successful candidates, she said: "I think the newly elected women will make a fine council. I believe they will co-operate and work together for the good of all the women of the Campus. We are the women as they always have been in the Valley comes from Meade, Kan. (population 1500) and has always lived there except for the time she has been on Mount Ouse. She claims that the country around Meade is very flat, but that she likes to live there anyway. After Meade she prefers Kentucky where she has spent her life to New York and Washington, D.C. Although there were only 150 students in the high school that she attended, she thinks the small school notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye by John Randolph Tye Now that we can write freely of Robert Wadlow without fear of being used for $100,000, we have no desire to do so. Tom Collins, editor of the Kansas City Journal-Poet, thinks he sees evidence that college students are becoming more conservative. Becoming? That just shows how much Mr. Collins knows about college students. In all the country there is no more hide-and-conformist than the average college student in his sophomore year. Velma's major is psychology, and she spends her spare time reading in that field. A membership in Psi Chi, national honorary fraternity for psychologists, has been her reward for her work in that department. Her ambition is to be a juvenile court or a counselor in a girl's camp. Jay Simon refers to Pittsburg State Teachers College, his new alma mater, as Caos T. C. The president-elect likes W.S.G.A. teen, thinks students really study a great deal hopes to go to Europe that cokes are a wonderful invention. At the present time she is spending a great deal of time making preparations for a national W. S. G. A. convention which will be held at the University on April 3, 4, and 5. She has to provide three days of entertainment for 170 girls. She is expected to have an assistant respondent Bureau and has served as social chairman of the Y.W.C.A. cabinet. Mrs. Roosevelt resigned from the D.A.R. because it denied the use of its hall to a member of the colored race. We do not intend to hold the presses until Mrs. Roosevelt resigns from another organization which, in one section of the country, not only denies Negroes the use of public buildings, but also the right to vote. It is easy to see why Velma Wilson wasn't afraid. Her interest in people is too great. She claims that what she gets most out of college is the opportunity to know people. She is very good at remembering names. Once she hears a name, she never forgets it. There have been explanations why women reduce but the coed who claims she is doing it so she is not in charge of private secretary wins our prize. It's days like these that give one the desire to drive like a wild thing to the ends of the earth. Are there any other philatelists who think that a portrait of Wallis Simpson would improve the recent issues of British stamps? "I always wanted to come to K. U.," she went on. "From the moment it arrived, I liked it. I think it is too bad that many students are frightened their first couple of weeks at school." The players were recommended by freshman coach Ralph Conger and authorized by the Athletic Board. To be eligible for a numeral sweater, a player must pass in twelve hours of work and attend practice regularly. Freshman numeral sweaters for last fall's fresh football players have been issued during the last three days to thirty-six men.

Graduate Visits on Campus George Stephens, e33, an employee of the Steerman aircraft company, Wichita, visited Prof. Earl D. Hay of the department of mechanical engineering yesterday enroute to Kansas City, Mo., where he hopes to be placed with the Civil Aeronautics Authority.

After about 10 minutes of squirling and wiggling and trying not to look or listen, the stranger in an adjacent seat leaned over to mutilate her mouth — not because the honest man?" However, Bergen and Fields are so darn funny in the show that an audience needs something like a few screen ads to make "hem stop laughing." Reginald Buxton lost a steak dinner to Lois Wilson last Saturday when he bet that Johnny Clifner, his bonnet weight, weighed at least 240 pounds. Since Johnny barely weighs 220, we Lois should let him have the steak dinner in an effort to save him from malnutrition. If the girl whom I inadvertently hit on the head in Fraser a week or so aso will send me her name, proper apologies will be returned immediately. It was all a very silly mistake. As I desciended the stairway I saw a girl standing in the hall near the bottom steps. Thinking it was my old arch-friend, Greta Gibson, I said, "Move on chum, you clutter up the place." So saying, I playfully slugged her on top of the skull with my notebook. When an astonished stranger turned around I became so confused in my embarrassment that I cleared the remaining steps and ran down the hall without even saying "pardon them." Ghosts Take (Continued from page one) made a set up and a long shot before the final whistle blew giving championship with a 20 to 18, victory. The game was featured by the erratic play of both teams, the inability of the Kappa Sig's to make the most of their scoring opportunities and the free throwing of balls. The team did not good a single try out of 11 chances. Hensley walked off with individual scoring honors with 12 of the Slg's 16 points while Shupe and Macking made 6 points each for the Ghosts.
