Legislators Spend Vacation at School
Dear Mr. Legislator.
Received your notice of a few days back and have acted accordingly. We've dusted Comanche and scraped the snow off the sidewalks. We're really not dressing up for your visit today—just using a little soap behind the ears and running our comb through our hair twice instead of once.
Hope you will enjoy your day on the Hill. We have made a few plums in the way of entertainment—basketball game and such—and we sincerely desire that for one day we can help you forget committees, motions, quorums, and the task of running our state government.
We students are always thankful for vacations. So we hope that you will "let down your hair" today and enjoy your short vacation. Meet us, understand us, and nothing can hold back the march of education in Kansas.
THE STUDENT BODY
America Must Remain A Democracy To Progress
One hundred fifty years ago this spring, George Washington was inaugurated as the first President of the newly-formed United States of America. There were many predictions at that time that the newfangled government could not endure—that the democracy was doomed to end soon in chaos.
One hundred fifty years of democracy has proven that the prophets of riot and ruin were wrong. Under its form of government, America has pro pressed from a frontier, agricultural conglomeration of jealous states to a complex industrial-agricultural union with the highest standard of living in the world today. Our country has gained in material wealth, knowledge and in spiritual faith. Any one who has compared the America of today with the America of 150 years ago cannot help but be amazed at—and thankful for—such progress.
It cannot be mere coincidence that the United States, a democracy, has made this advancement. It must be that there is something in the democratic form of government that stimulates improvement, that leads to ever-increasing progress—something which the other forms of government—Communism and Fascism—seem to lack. Democracy has proved to be dynamic, whereas the other governments tend to be static. In a democracy the needed improvement of our institutions can be accomplished without the forcible overthrow of the government; but in other forms, change only comes through violent revolution.
America must continue under the principles of democratic government if we are to continue to advance in the next century as we have the last century and a half. Our forms of government have shown a capacity for self-improvement which is necessary for the increased happiness and welfare of its citizens.
Campus Opinion
Former I.S.A. Councilman Heard From
Editor, Daily Kansan:
As a former member of the Independent Students Council I would like to express my opinion regarding Mr. Cullen's refusal to accept me at KU. Since I am not at the University this semester, one can see我 of any avail other motives such as the desire to teach English or
Never losing sight of the fact that the LSA. at K. U. owes its life to Susan Maloney, I would advice Miss Maloney to resign because it would be to the best interests of the organization.
After the national meeting of the LS.A. at Oklahoma University last year, I and several others of the Kansas delegates decided that Susan Maloney was not the proper person to head the organization at KU. She was selected by the committee. Maloney was directly responsible for the election of Chuck Alexander as national head of the LS.A. when she knew at the time that he was a member of a fraternity and had been involved in the organization (At one time she planned to charter a plane to the Oklahoma convention). 3. She is a good promoter but she is likely to leave one thing half completed and be off starting another. 4. She has not the excelsior that many received expenditures, financial reports, etc.
what Mia Maloney says of Charles Alexander is true, then what he does not sound like the proper person to talk about. When she asks her students there must be the right man or woman for the position. It's up to the independents to find that

Liberals Protest Aviation Course Editor.Daily Kansan:
We think it would be perfectly grand for K. U. students to have a chance to fly airplanes, but under the circumstances of the proposal to put such a training course in the curriculum, we must protest. Despite the pretense that we will be able to receive the "National Defense" plans of the War Department, we can recognize the program for what it is: a plan to make our school less like an university and more like a military camp. The beginning of such militaristic education is institutional institutions that the degeneracy of education in Germany and other Fascist nations has followed the same road. Is it to airplanes this year and bombers next year? Is this a step to compassion? Are students to end finally, this a step to prepare our nation and war to save the world from some wind—again?
Sincerely,
BRENT CAMPBELL

Students Could Make I.S.A. Click
The Independent Student's Association has been, functioning here on the Campus for over a year. From a non-partisan viewpoint—I have never been a member of the Council—may I say that it has "uckled" as it's going to, hope. Last spring I attended an independent convention at the University of Oklahoma and had been informed from no one will tell you that it is working there as well as at Northwestern, the University of Illinois, etc.
Tomorrow there's an Independent Student's Association meeting in the Union hall at 7:30 a.m.
At the mass meeting tomorrow unaffiliated students will have their chance to make it begin working. If they want to work on a major organization so can we—if enough of the 3,000 independents want it badly enough to come to the most important conferences, we'll be able.

Hint Stench in L.S.A. Council Editor. Daily Kansan:
I wish to express my contempt for the cheap and disgusting performance staged Saturday night by five so-called "gangsters" who—who ganged up in a surprise meeting in an attempt to force their president to turn over her office to the ambitions member of this council. Such tactics from supposedly educated s.c.m. are certainly to be de
CONTEMPTOUS
American Tall Tales Seek To New Depths
Since the KANSAN tries to be a pleasant newspaper, the editor is sorry to note the most recent indication that the downfall of American civilization may be at hand.
The reference is, of course, to the astonishing decline of the quantity and quality of the American institution of lying.
The champion tall story of last year, as chosen by the Burlington Lliars Club, was a tale of the sea by Gilbert Boettcher of Milwaukee. Mr. Boettcher described how he got out of a tight spot when the ship ran out of coal. "Thinking quickly, I told the crew to get some dogfish in a spare tank. When we had a tank full, I had one man tickle the dogfish until they barked. Then I had a couple of men throw the bark into the boiler. So we all got back to shore, safe and sound."
Compared to the grandiose, gargantuan lies of former years and generations, this story—the champion lie of 1938—shows a lamentable decline in the art of prevarication.
Harry Hopkins' statement before a Senate committee to the effect that, after all, there may have been SOME politics in the WPA further indicates that, despite the remarkable rise of the public debt, America's lie-ability is decreasing.
And there is little to be expected from the younger generation—the college students of today. If they are to be judged by the weak, almost truthful excuses they offer when they are late to or absent from class. Is this due wholly to the disappearance of the teacher who would accept any excuse—provided it was original?
Whatever the reason, the Kansan feels that something must be done about it, fi our present institutions of America are to survive.

Regents Approve Plans For New Medic Building
Plans are complete. It is to be located on Campus Drive between Snow hall and the Chi Omega house, and it is to be insulated against noise and heat. The animal quarters will be airproof and noisefoil.
The Schools of Medicine and Pharmacy have dreams of a new building.
"There will be an auditorium in the newly proposed building that will hold from 350 to 400 people," said secretary of the School of Medicine.
A new laboratory arrangement would be installed in this building, which will provide twelve laboratories for individual study. Eleven of these labs will hold eight students and the last one will hold twelve.
The Board of Regents of the University has already passed judgment on the plans. They are now hoping that the new state legislature will grant them enough money to build a good section of the building. It is believed that about 58 percent of the fund can be obtained from the WPA.
The State School Medical Society is behind the new plan to the fullest extent. Another group that is pushing the construction of this new building is the hospital technicians, who will also assist in the installation to use some of the new rooms of the building as the State Drug laboratory.
While the new building is planned chiefly for the use of pharmacy and medical students, Dr. Stolard said that students of physiology, hygiene and bio-chemistry will use the new building for their particular study.
For years the medical students of the University have been trying to get the state to grant them a new medical building in which they could do the best of their ability. It is an established fact that the medics are studying in too many different buildings, thereby hindering their best work, said the secretary of the school of medicine.
De Stolland also pointed out that other students on the Hill realize that the medics are spread out too much; they are studying in Snow hall, E.H.S. Bailey Chemical Laboratories, building, and the animal house. Snow hall is the only one of these buildings that has sufficient labs and

We didn't mind when the government indicted George Burns for smuggling, and the legal troubles of Jack Benny merely cause us to yawn and turn the page to Popeye. In fact they could arrest Charley McCarthy, Eddie Cantor, and Fred Allen and we wouldn't even raise an eyebrow. But we're giving warning that if as much as a hand is laid on Bob Benchely, we'll star writing our congressman.

equipment. The medics hear lectures all over the Campus—in Green hall, Frazer hall, Frank Strong hall and the engineering building
In past years, Snow hall and Dyche museum were used for these students, but they soon were crowded and the medics moved to west Frank Strong hall, which had been intended for the Business school. The chemistry building was used for chemistry lab work.
If the medical students move into a new building, it will give the school of business more room in Frank强尚 hall, it will take the pharmacy and bio-chemistry students out of the Bailey laboratories. It will also abolish the old hospitalized fire hazard, and which hold over $35,000 worth of equipment, some not replaceable.
"The newly planned building will serve for many other departments needing more space," said Dr. Stoland. "Meanwhile, it will make more room for the language and philosophy departments if the physiology laboratories are moved out of Frank Strong hall into the new hall."
Students of other schools will be able to study in the new building, which will be a great advantage to all departments. Students in the College, Graduate school, School of Education, and of course the medical and pharmacy students will be at home in the new building.

All my life I have wanted to be a war correspondent, and if the snow holds out maybe I'll get in some good practice. Yesterday from a safe and comfortable position behind the Western Front I noted the attacks and counter-attacks of Medics against Library loafers. There were no casualties, but property damage was heavy—one window being smashed in the library storm partition.
The Medies don't know anything about art or anatomy or they would not have gone to a lot of trouble in taking the snow "Venus" from the Lawyers to put on the roof of their front porch.
Senate Confirms Two For President
Washington, D. C., Jan. 17—(UP)—The senate today confirmed the nomination of Felix Frankluter as associate justice of the Supreme Court and Frank Murphy as attorney general but not until after Murphy was denounced as "a lame duck without any legal ability."
The vote on Murphy was 78 to 7. Frankfurter was approved without dissent.
Senator Bridges, Republican of New Hampshire challenged Murphy's qualification, asserting the former Michigan governor holds communistic beliefs and "will be a leader under the administrator's neck."
Among the six other Republican senators who joined Bridges in voting against Murphy's confirmation was Vandenburg of Michigan, the state where Murphy formerly was governor.
Bridges met vigorous opposition from several senators, including Sherman Minton, Democrat of Indiana, who reminded him that Chief Justice Hughes is also a "Lame duck" and that there are "plenty of other Republican lame ducks around here."
"Lame Duck" is capital pariance for an office holder who failed to be reelected.
Pennsylvania Has 700 High School Newspapers
