PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1938 Kansan Comment Krueger Prepares Way For True American Art Once again Karl Krueger has brought the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra to the Hill for its annual concert, an event which never fails to stimulate and delight. The enthusiasm and interest with which theharmonic is received here every year indicates an appreciation and a potentialcreativeness which will some day provide a substantial contribution not only to music but to all the arts. Much of this appreciation is due tothe man who received his M.A. degree from theUniversity in 1915, because, as he has neverfailed to point out, if the arts are to receive theattention that has been given technologicaladvancement, it is first necessary to dispel manyof the misconceptions which surround music. Krueger has never been one to look on art as an exotic thing. He has done much to bring it closer to the earth where it belongs and from which it receives its inspiration. Too long has the Middle West prostrated itself before everything that comes out of New York. It is time that the Mississippi Valley explores itself for creative possibilities. Far from being exotic, music is the very opposite for it has its basis in the human heart. It is only the crystallization of human feelings. The aim of every great artist has been simply to satisfy the demands which the human race has felt. In drama the evidences of this is easier seen—Shakespeare with his supreme knowledge of the human race, and the Greek theatre where people went to learn more about themselves and to find a creative source for the renewal of their powers. Dealing precisely with the same materials of which the dramatist makes use, music differs from the more concrete art only in the manner of expression. For in its highest form, art becomes not only the guiding light for the human spirit but the repository for the fruits of all men's labors. Recently at Concordia, Mr. Krueger said that the greatest development in the United States must eventually be in the Middle West for only here can American art have its foundations free from outside influences. "If every section develops an art expressing the feelings of its residents," he said, "it will have the first essential virtue of being wholly honest, and the product of these different parts of the country will eventually form a giant mosaic which will become our national culture." If the conductor's prediction comes true, if the Middle West some day does develop a great and simple art fully expressing the life and traditions of the race, most of the credit will go to the pioneer work of Karl Krueger and the Kansas City organization. Lesson Number Two: Lilacs in the Library There are lilacs in the library. There are also iliacs in Center Frank Strong Hall. It is nice to have lilacs around. The Daily Kansan thanks the greenhouse for the lovely flowers. It is nice to have lilacs around to see and to smell between classes. It just goes to show what a blooming place a university can be. Minorities in U. S. As Ill-Used as Abroad Minorities again are on the march now that Barcelona has fallen and the remaining defenses of the Loyalist government show signs of crumbling. Through the mountain passageways into France they go, seeking sanctuary from the horrors of Spanish fratricide. And the number will undoubtedly be swollen if Generalissimo Franco fulfills his threat to purge New Spain of all his political opponents. This latest flight of war victims is only the latest of a long procession of minorities that has characterized the post-war world. First there were the White Russians seeking havens in France and China. Then the liberal Italians, fleeing from the strong-armed rule of Mussolini. More recently thousands have been driven from Germany because of the medieval waves of racial persecution. And the hope for the future grows darker every day as the young ambitious empire of Adolph Hitler stretches its arms, stiff with belated growing pains. While the tide of intolerance spreads, the democracies of the world stand agast at the manifest cruelty of the oppressors, expressing profound sympathy for the victims and offering shelter to the wandering homeless. Yet the democracies remain silent, seemingly ignorant of their whited sepulchres. The governments of Great Britian, France, and the United States are naturally indignant at the terrible persecutions of the minorities of the totalitarian powers, yet they are strangely silent concerning the skeletons in their own closets. England does nothing to raise the standards of the people of India and South Africa—lands where millions exist on starvation wages. France does nothing about the pitiful condition of her colonials, hundreds of thousands of whom exist on a few cents a day. And Americans would be shocked if told that our economic and social treatment of the negro minority in this country is basically as cruel and heartless as the racial and political persecution of the Jewish people in Germany. That the treatment of minorities in Europe today is a disgrace to civilization almost every American will admit. Yet similar conditions in this country are overlooked. It is time America admitted that the treatment of minorities here is often unjust. As far as justice to all is concerned, there is much still to be realized in this country. Flavor the Sausage? It Might Be Worth a Try Not long ago Prof. John Ise criticized what he called the sausage-grinding process of education. Under this system, "book larnin" is vigorously crammed into the student and then laboriously ground out during final week. This type of education, Professor Ise pointed out, soon resolves itself into only a matter of memorization—a mechanical process involving little or no original thinking. John Ise's statements have a way of landing pretty close to home. His latest is no exception. It is only a matter of days since most students removed all material evidences of last semester's scholastic efforts from their desk drawers with grim satisfaction. Also not more than ten days ago many students cleaned out their minds fairly thoroughly during the outgrinding of the sausage and thus have made room for next semester's meat. Education should be more than memorizing things, jotting them down in quiz books, and then happily forgetting them. Even if "book larnin" is not forgot immediately, just remember lessons to a certain extent is not enough Education implies not only being capable of answering questions or giving the opinions of some authority, but in the ability to ask questions, to reach out for new information and for new ways of looking at things, not only in business and professional matters, but in every day life. A new semester is beginning. According to tradition, students always make good resolutions as to how well they will work for the following four and a half months. Maybe it is too much to expect to do away with the grinding process, but an attempt might be at least made to add some new flavoring to the sausage.

Student Hospital Record Reveals Healthier Sex by Shieley Smith. c'29 Did you know that . . . more women than men need medical attention . . . that students average nearly 18 calls a year . . . that is likely to be better if you enroll in the college . . . that a high percentage of students seeking medical attention work at a job several hours a day . . . that students in room houses have poorer health than students in organized houses . . . that there are two chief ailments among students? Dr. R. I. Camtison has deviated form his usual duties as director of the health service of the University to compile statistics and analyze the hospital admissions for the shootings of this year. Many accepted theories have been disproven by the results of his investigations. On a basis of the enrollment in the University of 3063 men and 1401 women, the figures show that women use the Watkins Memorial hospital more than men students. At a rate per 1000 men, 99.2 per cent use the hospital while women's calls are 146.01 per cent of the women's University enrollment. Students average 18 calls during the year. Of course there are some students who call at the hospital only once or twice but this is balanced by many students who receive regular periodical treatments for various things during the entire year. Hospital Draws More Women There is a small percentage of students who never come to the hospital for attention but there are also some people at the University who are habitual users of the hospital service for every minute. The average of 10 to 13 students in rooms and wards every night. Rates of admission per 1,000 students Business School Tops List Schools men women totals Business 145.7 228.6 364.3 Education 101.3 171.4 312.4 Fine Arts 110.1 131.1 142.6 College 101.2 150.6 121.6 Pharmacy 83.3 727.7 106.4 Medicine 83.3 non-health 90.0 Medicine 74.3 200.0 77.7 Law 48.5 ---- 45.8 According to the above figures it appears that women in the Pharmacy and Medical Schools use the health service more than any other division. It must be remembered, however, that a smaller number of women students are enrolled in these two schools and that every Can any reader on his current literature tell us whether or not Liberty magazine runs its annual article "The War on Iraq" would do if he were alive today? notes'n discords by John Randolph Tye Judging from the recent articles in the Daily Kansas about men-hating women and women-hating men, one would conclude that their social relations are at sexes and sevens. We think we can understand Dr. Logan Clendening's escapade. We have a roommate who sneers. Thought for the day: Back in the gay ninety, did a girl when she left her escort at and dancer whisper to him that she would be back in a minute? For a few minutes last night this department brushed elbows with the great when we met Ellen McAdoo Hinsaw, granddaughter of Woodrow Wilson and wife of a musician in the Kansas City Philharmonic orchestra. We came away from the interview much encouraged. All we knew was that with the love of "Stiste" Dahl is to let our host grow five more inches. Before the newspaper correspondents wear out their typewriters attempting to predict the next pope, they should keep in mind an old Roman saying: Who goes into the conclave pope, comes out cardinal. All talk that girls come to college merely to have a good time is disproved by the co-eed who enrolled in a stiff geology course because she thought it would help her work cross-word puzzles. We are trying to get federal funds for a project on which our amuntees is, Virginia Gray, is working. She is trying to develop a college week that will be as long as a week-end and a week-end as long as a week. .. Of the men seeking hospitalization 37.83 per cent work on an average of slightly more than three hours per day in addition to schooling 38.29 per cent of the women work on an average of 2½ hours per day. Colds Are Chief Cause In investigating living conditions, Dr. Canteson found that admission rates per 1,000 students living in rooming houses, fraternity houses, sorority houses, organized houses (deritermies) or homes as follows: * men women Rooming houses 129.4 205.5 Organized houses ---- 169.6 Fraternities 96.3 ---- Sororities ---- 88.2 Home 49.8 144.8 These figures prove that living conditions in a rooming house are not on a par with those in an organized house or a sorority house. This is another argument for organized houses (dormitories) for men as the totals show that there would be a smaller necessity for medical care and better health among men students in general. The length of stay in the hospital for men is 38 days while women on 'he average stay 27 days. The two chief causes of admission are colds and digestive disturbances. Colds accounted for 52 per cent of the men from rooming houses, 48 per cent from homes, and 35.5 per cent from fraternities. Among the women, colds were the complaint of 48.9 ped cent from sorbities, 28.2 per cent from organized houses, 25 per cent from homes, and 24.4 per cent from rooming houses. The reasons for the high percentage of colds are to be caused by the amount of extra-curricular activities in which they try to participate. Women Are Healthy Dr. Cameston has drawn two chief conclusions from these results: first, women in rooming houses are undoubtedly in a healthier condition than men living in rooming houses; second, that there is a somewhat better regulation of living conditions in women's houses. Digestive disturbances accounted for hospital admissions as follows: fraternities, 17.8 per cent sororites, 20.0 per cent; rooming women, men-10 per cent, women-11.5 per cent; organized houses, (women) 10.3 per cent; and homes (men) 3.7 per cent. This is the first time that such a set of facts have been compiled along the medical side of the Watkins Memorial hospital. Quite a few years ago a similar examination of the hospital dispensary was made, but never continued. At present it is doubtful just how much truth there is to the conclusions that have been drawn from the above figures. "I intend to make the same examination of the hospital reports of patients for the next ten years," said Dr. Cautenus. "At the end of this time the results will give definite facts that may prove to be interesting and enlightening. Of the present conclusions will undoubtedly be changed but I think a good many of them will still be true and I will have ten years of past figures On the Shin -wear (Continued from page one) Your heavy scenes are quite entrancing To ROLLA NUCKLES . . .
