PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN. LAWRENCE. KANSAS FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1939 Kansan Comment If U.S. Plays Ostrich, It'll be the Goat In a few weeks the United States will be faced with the sad but necessary task of recognizing the rebellion of Generalissimo Franco as the legal government of Spain. Barcelona has fallen; Madrid is asking for peace. And while the leaders of the loyalist government may continue underground their fight for democratic principles, if one persists in regarding the Madrid government as a functioning body he is merely allowing himself to be a victim of wishful thinking. Any day now England and France will recognize France. Other European and South American governments are doing so every day. The United States should do the same, and it should be done immediately. There is no reason for the United States to stand aloof from the rest of the world for sentimental reasons. A majority of the people of this country favored the Loyalist cause. The state department while never committing itself undoubtedly hoped for the defeat of the rebel cause, as did the French government. While Neville Chamberlain was pro-France from the first, the English cabinet was supposed to have been divided about the matter. The courageous battle which the Loyalists put up for liberal and democratic ideals won the respect and admiration of most people, but, unfortunately, in these days of undeclared wars and bombing planes, respect, admiration, and sentiment do not win battles. Once more the forces of might have triumphed. While the democracies of Europe are alarmed at the new Fascist menace in Spain, they are losing no time in extending recognition. The United States, much as it detests and distrusts the methods and ideals of Franco, should follow their example. A few days ago, the Hutchinson News pointed out that to delay recognition of the Burgus government would be repeating the Russian mistake of only a few years ago. At that time we delayed recognition of Russia because conservative elements in this country morally disapproved of the methods of the Soviets in coming to power and of their administrative tactics afterwards. In other words, we cut off our nose to spite our face. If the United States delays recognition of Franco for a long period because elements in this country morally disapprove of the methods of Franco, we will be repeating the same mistake. Every national is entitled to its own particular form of government. Our only concern is whether another government is an established one. If it is, the sooner it is recognized the better, because failure to do so does nothing but bar business relations which would be profitable for both sides, and no nation can afford the luxury of confining its trade only to those countries it likes. England and France see this clearly; therefore they are hastening to extend recognition. America will be wise to do likewise. The Emporia Gazette reports the enrollment at Emporia State college as 1639, of whom 950 are women and 686 are men. Wonder how they classify the other three. New B.S. Degree Should Satisfy In response to persistent demands for allowances for more professional work in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the University faculty has adopted a new degree—a B.S. with the name of the department written after it. Fifty hours—instead of forty as needed for an A.B. degree—will be allowed in the major department. It is encouraging to note that the A.B. degree will remain liberalized. Students who want an A.B. will receive a liberal, generous education. Changes which are meant to make A.B. candidates take broader courses were made three years ago in the substitution of divisions and fields for groups. This change was welcomed by students who desired a general education. It must be admitted, however, that many people do not want a general education. They desire an education more on the vocational side. Pointing to the economic instability of the future, they say: "We want our college preparation to get us a job." To them, the new B.S. degree is offered as a third choice to staying in the College and receiving a broad education, or going into a professional school and receiving practically no cultural education. The step is admittedly a compromise. Although some students taking the course leading to a B.S. degree may regret in later life that they did not gain a cultural, liberal education while in college, yet for those few who feel that semi-professional training is necessary and who do not want to give up altogether the college atmosphere, the new set up should be an agreeable arrangement. Tiddlywinks At Last Comes Into Its Own The world moves forward—not always as haltingly as people would have us believe. Amidst the news of some unknown ship rumored to be sinking from a torpedo or a drifting mine, and the news that Japanese planes had bombed a British something or other in China, and other more or less news, we find this heartening statement: "Cornell University students have formed a tidywinks team." Of course, we seldom played tidwinkly twosures. Consequently we were never good at it. When we pressed down with the whatever-it-is-one-presses-down-with, the other whatever-is-supposed-tocome-up never came up. Therefore we never could master the game. But nevertheless, tidlywinks is a nice game. It probably has many advantages, such as exercising a lot of muscles that would never get exercised otherwise. Therefore, we have nothing but gladness in our heart that Cornell University students have formed a tidlywinks team. Rah, rah, rah! There is no danger of women's clubs coming out for war. At least not until the gas masks are beautified. Campus Opinion 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 deleted through the name will be withheld if the writer desires. Editor, Daily Kansan; I agree that Jimmy Robertson in many respects, not a columnist. I agree, furthermore, that Krupa name should not have been spelled "Croupa." (Perhaps "Croupy" would have been more appropriate.) Optimists who think the author of the much-discussed Kansas editorials on swing is not a journalist. But when two men of college age open confess their disregard for the fine music of Guy Lombardo then I must be denur. Where Benny Goodman plays the drumming part, Daniel has rhythm, Lombardo has super-sweetness. The Lombardo band was a name-organization before Goodman, Shaw, or Krupa had ever left the honky-tonk class. He consistently has been named America's favorite radio band in polls conducted by national mag- To compare such a top-notch musical organization as Guy Lomardo's with relatively second rate outfits of the "terrible trio"—Goodman, Krupa, and Shaw, we must first consider their harmonic to the level of a grade school rhythm band. If they are old enough to leave mother and come to college, all the boys should know this. A LOMBARDO LOVER.

Imagine a cave where the slightest whisper is audible at an enormous distance. Imagine the tones of a violin magnified a thousand times. Such was the experience of Waldena Celtch, professor of violin, who recently visited the forgive catacombs known as Dionysius Eros a porphyre hown in rock, near Syracuse, Italy. The grotto is in the form of the letter S and is 219 feet deep and more than 74 feet high. The shape contracts near the summit, due to the rounding of an adjoining theater, and the entrance is a small square hole cut in the stone. For many centuries the cave was known by its French name, the seventeenth century it has been called by the Italian, Latonia Del Paradiso. Feature Editor Mary Lou Randal Style notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye Professor and Mrs. 'Geel' visited the famous cavern while on their trip to Italy. In order to test his hearing, he played his violin. In a letter to Dionysius' Ear Pretty Good, Says Prof. Geltch Now we know how the villains in the old melodramas felt when they had a proud beauty in their power. Of course, doing things owes us three cigarettes. **Brown River Business Manager** Office location: Brown River, WV **Subscription rates:** in advance, $3.00 per year, $1.75 per semester. Published at Lawrence, KS, daily. During the school months between September 17, 1920 and August 17, 1921, at the post office at Lawrence, KS. Yesterday's Shin was a typical example of what is known in some circles as sloppy reporting a la-robertson. It is not true that Agnes Mumuon is an assistant student to attend the Hob Nail Hall. She only stood up three. Prof. D. L. Patterson of the history department, Prof. Gelfch says: "Little did I think that I would be playing my violin in Dionysius Ersou so soon after hearing you speak of it. It was a remarkable experience. The tone was magnified a thousand-old and bold in a tone that 'teams are made of.'" Seen on the Campus: Dorothy Finch, former student, looking very striking in a Lynn Fontamish hair dress. The name, Dionysius Ear, goes back to the time when Dionysius the Elder was the tyrant of Syracuse. The ruler was famed for his cruelty. Having many political enemies, he went to extreme lengths to protect himself. To do this he had to throw nearly half the population in prison. The prison he constructed had such marvelous acoustics that the tyrant could hear them from all directions of all the inmates. Thus the particular cavern which the tyrant used came to be known as the ear of Dionysius. And the "many people who remarked about the quality of Minerva Davis" singing in "Cum Laude" should have heard her sing "Connais Tu Le Pays?" at Thursday's recital. The few adjectives we have in our possession wouldn't begin to do it justice. For a few moments the audience at yesterday's student recital thought it was seeing double when the Carl twins, Erina and欧娜, came out on the stage at the same time to play a two-piano arrangement. Ah, ha! Just as we thought. Rod-etric Burton comes forward to confess that he told Bob Busy about the illias in the library. Professor Gelch is on a leave of absence for the second semester visiting and studying abroad. On the Shin -the intellect are the arrangements of "Deep Purple" and "Star Dust" to be heard between halves of the Oklahoma game tomorrow night. A saxophone quintet from the hand does the honors. --the intellect are the arrangements of "Deep Purple" and "Star Dust" to be heard between halves of the Oklahoma game tomorrow night.

Today Rod Burton goes so far as to say that sun spots are pos- sible responsible for such catacrophes as Beta's and the Administration. (Continued from page one) Announce Opening Of Lewis Contest ANTHEM: Only an eighth-grade boy whose voice is changing can hit the highs and the lows of the national anthem without changing keys at least five times while singing it. But even the average University student has enough intelligence to learn the words and might do so in a spare moment to avoid such embarrassing moments as of yesterday when the convoction audience dares them to its way through "The Star-Spangled Banner." In case you don't own a copy of the lyrics just drop around to the School of Fine Arts and borrow a "Golden Book of Favorite Songs." It's their favorite book too, and they have lots of them. Opening of the 1988-30 Hattie Lewis prize essay contest was announced by Prof Seba Eldridge, chairman of the committee in charge of this annual competition. Prizes of $100, $75, $50 and $25 will be awarded for the best essays written by students of the University on some phase of "The Teachings Of Jesus" as applied to a modern problem. LENT: Everyone should be made to give something, no matter how insignificant, during Lent. The time has come again when we must listen to people say that they have given up watermelon, strawberries, spinach, or going to classes. Most annoying. Darned disgusting. Members of the committee in addition to Professor Eldridge are: Miss Sara G. Laird, associate professor of English, and secretary of the committee; and Miss Alice Winston, assistant professor of English. Students wishing additional information are requested to see Prof. Eldridge of the department of sociology. Entries must be in the Chancellor's office not later than May 1, 1959. Essays are to contain not less than 5,000 and not more than 10,000 words. An outline is expected by April 1. Some suggested topics for the papers are: Changing moral standards, advertising,战敌 conflict, the international situation, and published and individual morals, and others. Awards will be made by the committee and announced at commencement Prizes were awarded last week for first; second to David Angevine, c39; third to Paul Mortiz, c39 and fourth to John Lintner, c39. Tulane University's Middle American Research Institute has initiated a campaign to raise $2,000,000 for a new museum.
