Kansan Comment
Are Kansas Editors As Bad-- Or Good--As Painted?
At least once in the lifetime of every profession some scholar takes it upon himself to turn the spotlight of research on the members of that profession. The Kansas Press had its turn recently in a survey by a former member of the University of Kansas journalism faculty.
Kansas publishers are told in this survey that most of them have a high school education, that only 30 per cent have a college education. The average publisher is 46 years old and celebrating his twenty-first wedding anniversary. His income is usually twice that of the average annual income for his region; his investment in his newspaper is about ten thousand dollars.
For the most part, however, the survey tends to put the average Kansas publisher in a bad light. For instance, Kansas publishers read very little. What reading is done is of the popular entertainment type and not of organs which might contribute to professional competency. Social sciences were ignored in the education of the publisher. According to the survey, "The typical publisher does not feel competent to deal with profound contemporary economic problems; they are too complicated."
The Kansas publisher does not manifest his community leadership on the editorial page of his newspaper, although he exerts much influence in his town.
But the picture is not as black as one might be led to believe by reading the survey. Besides pointing out that a few incompetent members of any profession will lower the average, the Kansan asks these questions?
Why do out-of-state newspapers come to Kansas for Kansas trained newspapermen when they have staff vacancies?
Why does Kansas have such a large body of outstanding newspapermen, such as William Allen White, Henry Allen, Arthur Capper and the late Ed Howe?
And why, oh ye compilers of foreboding surveys, is Kansas generally conceded to have the best state press in the country?
Will Britain's Santa Claus Open His Pack Again?
Europe's "bounding broomstick" set his gold-headed umbrella down in "Sunna Eetaly" the other day for a play with the bald-headed number-one hat of Italian Fascism. The world waits breathlessly. The "Map of the Month Club" publishes make ready their presses. Small European countries tremble. What is Chamberlain going to give away now?
Well, early reports indicate that Chamberlain is aware that Christmas is over and that his purpose in Europe's "boot" is to pat II Duce on the back and execute a few diplomatic chucks under the dictatorial chin. Could it be that the "peace at any price" man of the British Isles is feeling the pressure of England's powerful middle class? Could it be that England is withdrawing to a middle ground somewhere between her recent submissive attitude and her pre-war aggressive diplomacy?
But they won't be England's acres!
One shouldn't go to sleep tonight secure in the knowledge that Europe's map will be the same tomorrow morning. Mussolini may yet talk Neville out of a few million square miles of dirt.
Indeed, it is felt by many that Neville, bah Jove, has received a kick on that blue serge shine. By bowing to the dictators, the prime minister necessarily exposes such a spot to the "old folks at home." What Chamberlain needs is a foreign policy with two pairs of pants.
Americans Might Get Mad About Sharecroppers, Too
While well-meaning Americans are troubling themselves about a solution to the social and economic problem of the German Jews, these same benevolent people disregard entirely similar conditions affecting the American sharecroppers. Living a disregarded existence amid squalid economic conditions for many years, a large group of sharecroppers from southeastern Missouri's "bootheel" district this week abandoned their make-shift shanties and went on "strike."
When one compares the status of the American sharecropper to that of the persecuted European Jew it can hardly be said that the outlook or future hopes of the latter is to any great extent any brighter than that of the first. Neither has any property, neither seems to be particularly wanted, neither is confident of a roof over his head, food for his mouth, or clothing for his body. One might even arrive at the conclusion that the Jews had a decided advantage, that of an education.
Germany is accused of having reverted to primitive methods in its treatment of the Jews. The accusation is well-founded. But let us
consider what a critical foreign press could very well say about the American treatment of the sharecroppers. Is there any decided difference between their social and economic status and that of the serfs of the Middle Ages? Our citizens are injured to a situation that has existed for generations in their own backyard, but are nevertheless totally unprepared for a similar inhuman and negligent treatment of minorities in another country—especially if that country be a political enemy.
Would it not be a more appropriate expression of public sympathy to give a little aid to the class represented by that homeless group now encamped, a thousand strong, along our own Missouri highways?
Page T. R.-Arbor Day Comes Early to Mount Oread!
Conservation has hit the Campus. Not that it isn't a good thing. It is. Unquestionably. But it's the suddenness and completeness' of the epidemic that is terrifying.
Along that nameless but pleasant thoroughfare which we may call University Drive, there has sprung up a series of sturdy young trees. There aren't very many. In fact there are only three or four. But their presence presages any number of further additions to local flora. May their tribe increase.
Such a heartening manifestation of arborical ambition, however, is not enough, by itself, to stimulate rash poetics. Nor is the tender solicitude shown to the trees along the edge of Marvin Grove, with their elaborate brick protections against the encroaching rocky embankment. (The latter should be seen to be believed.)
No, all this is remarkable, but not necessarily epoch-making in the strictest sense. The straw contributing to the camel's downfall is to be found elsewhere. On Oread avenue, to be exact. First sight of it must surely bring tears to the eyes of a normally sensitive person.
For Rowlands' have installed a brand-new shade tree in front of their Oread annex—a tender young shoot some seven or eight feet tall—an optimistic little upstart~
A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robbins in her hair.
Let us not question its future, or ask if it can resist the whirring onslaught of snow, foot, and baseballs. It must. It will. Stands firm—at least comparatively firm—challenging all to follow the example of its illustrious planters.
Trivial? No! This is a sign of a new trend, which should be recognized and applauded. It is to be hoped, of course, that the movement won't be allowed to get out of hand.
Shades of Arbor Day!

After five years of research and investigation of the processes of cell division, Dr. W. J. Baumgartner, professor of zoology, has won national recognition with his discovery of throbbing in protoplasm.
Baumgartner Wins Recognition With Discovery in Petroleum
Subscription rates, in advance, $3.00 per year, $1.75 per semester. Published at Lawrence, Kansas, daily, during the school year except Monday and Saturday. Entered as second class student at Lawrence and Saturday. Office at lawrence, Kansas, under the Act of March 3, 1879.
Acerding to Dr. Baumgartner the newly discovered movement of the protoplasm has gone unnoticed be-
At the national convention ofologists, which met at Richmond, Va., last month, Dr. Baumgartner presented his report on "A New Type of Protoplastic Movement." The report dealt with a rapid alternate contraction and expansion which he observed in the protolastis of cockroaches. The movement was especially special protolastis in the jiggled cells.

Some of the best newspaper writing never gets in the paper. Take for instance the headline handed in at the Kansan desk last night, "Senate To Grill Frankfurter," it read.
Well, if events are moving at their usual speed, by this time Musolini should have talked Neville Chambon out of everything but his umbrella.
Educational note from the Ottawa Herald: "We know a young woman with a passion to write who is attending a certain Kansas college in an effort to learn how to do it well. She has been putting her heart into the themes for her English composition courses hoping that it would serve as a basis for getting her literary short-comings pointed out to her. So far the teacher has made only one notation on any of the papers, 'Not enough margin,' it read."

Paul Jones, prominent Kansas editor, is another Mary Martin fan. He points out, however, that no one else knew of her when she started shredding her clothes.
Members of an English literature class were a bit taken back Wednesday when a professor entered the room, looked at the class, and asked if they were prepared for a test. For a change, it was the professor who was wrong. He had got into the wrong classroom.
The group in the next booth were discussing the ability of a prominent Hill actor. "The trouble with him," one of the critics explained, "is that his mother was frightened by two pieces of bread."

The University of Michigan has a collection of 4,000 old and rare text-books.
Dr. Baumgartner's report was called for by Dr. F. R. Moulton, executive secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Dr. Moulton prepared publicity for the discovery.
Dr. Baungartner's attention to the throbbing movement of the protoplasm was noticed through a study of the moving pictures of cell division which Dr. Baungartner has taken himself.
Because of this discovery Dr. Baumgartner is being considered as the recipient of a $1,000 prize for outstanding scientific research.

Nebraka will be almost as much a stranger on the Lincoln boards as Kansas. The team has not showed before the home crowd since Dec 21 when it dropped a decision to Minnesota. Prior to the Gopher games, the team and said home games with South Dakota and Bradley Tech.
The starting of Miller and Golay will keep out Engleman, the leading conference scorer of the team, and fourth ranking in the Big Six. He has tallied 24 points in the two games played. However, if he fails to get the opening net, the Ack City flash will be in the ball game aplenty against the Huskers.

John Randolph Tye wrote a glowing account of the adagio dancing that took place between halves at the game Tuesday night. Such accounts are called "bathut reporting." He wrote the piece during the first half of the game and didn't get within three blocks of Hoch all evening. His journalism ethics even lower than my estimation of him.
