Arkansas U. Sets Example for Kansas
Other state universities and schools, although no more advanced scholastically and financially than the University have neverless outstripped this school in dealing with the problem of adequate housing facilities for men students.
Deserving of notice in this endeavor is the dormitory at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. The present building was constructed about two years ago to replace an older one, and provides one hundred and twenty-five men students board and room at the moderate rate of $30 a month.
Meals, including second helpings, are served cafeteria style at the dormitory. Roommates are selected by choice or chance, but any disadvantages resulting from this hawk hazard selection could be overcome by adopting the careful sort of survey of prospective residents now in use at the University of Minnesota.
Typical of many recent university dormitories, the Arkansas dormitory was financed by a PWA grant and loan at a cost of about $160,000. Although this method of securing necessary funds may not be recommended here, the fact remains that Arkansas sets an example in caring for a number of her men students which might well be heeded by Kansas.
Jewish Predicament Economical, Not 'Racial'
The Jews today are in a sad predicament. People everywhere are aware of this simple fact, but few persons have had the time or intellectual curiosity to dig deeper into the problem.
Everyone from the President to the local barcan and does suggest a possible solution to the Jewish difficulties. But few of the mukers of these recipes seem to have considered that most of these schemes have been put on trial sometime during the twenty-five centuries the Jews have been country-less.
Some twenty-five centuries ago the Jews, through no desire of their own, were forced to venture forth in the search for a new home. Since that time this unfortunate race has become dispersed in all countries of the civilized world. Even so, the Jewish people have succeeded in preserving to a greater or lesser extent their personal autonomy. They have adapted themselves to the most diverse political and social forms of various epochs and countries.
Today, Germany is in the spotlight for her intense persecution of the Jews. It is interesting to turn the calendar back to the Middle Ages and see how the situation then was. The German emperors regarded the Jews as a people assigned to commercial pursuits with a view of increasing the treasury's revenues.
The emperors tried to place at the head of the communities an official who should combine the functions of rabbi and fiscal agent. This plan was successfully thwarted by determined opposition on the part of the autonomous communities. The Jews used to elect one of their own people as an intermediary between their communities and the government.
The rise of the modern state, based upon the principle of civil equality, and the gradual civil emancipation of the Jews, dealt a heavy blow to Jewish autonomy in its old form. The national aspect of their freedom was now confined to religious or synagogal administration.
While outwardly the Jews lost their independence, inwardly their nationalistic spirit never diminished. They founded elementary and higher schools of their own, created institutions of social welfare, reacted to political events and often manifested their solidarity with the Jews of other countries.
But the inherent characteristics of the modern state have brought added hardships upon the Jewish race. For the indisputable success of these hardy people in commerce and industry has brought new persecution on a race already disliked. The movement, then as now, was motivated by the Christian middle classes, who resented competition from a people who had both the courage and ability to match wit with wit.
So, after 25 centuries, the Jews still represent a nationality that is everywhere in a minority and has no solid settlement within a clearly defined territory.
Outwardly, and to the general mass of people, Jewish persecution arises from racial differences. Inwardly, historical study seems to reveal that racial dislike is merely food for mass consumption and that the real basis of trouble comes from a thorn in the economic side of the gentile bourgeoisie.
Providence Proves Safety Campaign Will Work
Cities the nation over could well profit from a study of the traffic regulatory system of Providence, R. I., the safest city in the United States.
As proof that an aroused and determined citizenry can reduce traffic fatalities as well as injuries, this city of more than 250,000 residents has recorded but nine fatalities the last ten months. In the same period last year, the death toll stood at 36. This is a reduction of 75 per cent.
What should be of interest to every conscientious city government are the methods by which this record has been accomplished. Following are a few of the rules and registrations adopted:
A police accident prevention bureau was established. Churches, civic organizations, neighborhood clubs, and parent-teacher groups united. The Providence "Evening Bulletin" backed the campaign fully.
The maximum speed limit on any street was reduced to 25 miles an hour. Motorists detected in any type of traffic law violation were halted and lectured. Safety lectures to school children were given by policemen.
Police warning tickets were issued to speeders and other violators. Dangerous intersections were constantly patrolled. Special patrols were placed at the danger zones.
A strict application of the above procedure for a few months completely altered driving habits. Motorists driving at excessive speeds or flagrantly violating driving rules were deprived of their driving licenses for ten days. Less than five per cent of the drivers now are classified by police as failing to co-operate.
The citizens of Providence aren't inherently safety conscious any more than the citizens of any other city. There is no reason why the adoption of this plan by any other city shouldn't meet with approximately similar success if it were entered into with the same co-operative spirit.

All Campus personality has the heard Gabriel blow his horn, but every good Jayhawker has heard the strains of three trumpeters that would make even the best of heavenly gates swing. Since last year, Robert Boyle, '39, Lei Maser, Maser, fa, gr, and Leo Horacek, '41 have been playing together at many University functions and concerts, and have even played in a Kansas City theater.
These men are working on CSEF project, arranging, rehearses
Bob Boyle does most of the arranging. He has arranged more than 30 pieces. Besides these original arrangement, they have every published trio available for cornet in the musical library of the University, which they are building up as part of their C.S.EP. work.
Since the beginning of last year the trio has played every other Friday at 6 p.m. over radio station XFKU. They also play every first and third Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in connection with the University band concerts broadcast by KFKU.
The height of Bob's, Lee's, an Lewis's ambitions, is to play or network radio programs next summer. The trio made a good start recently when they appeared with Horace Heidt, and his Alemicit Brigades at the Tower theater in Kansas City, Mo.
Mr. Heidt said, "Your trio is the best Ive heard in that style. Anyime you are in New York, look me up and I will put you on my knees." He invited them to be invited to play a Cincinnati with Frank Simon's Armor band
notes'n discords
by John Randolph Tye
For several years, a feud has existed between a down-town paper and the dramatic arts department. Hoping to end the feud, the Hill Thepins invited all the paper's employees and their families to the "Hay Fever" dress rehearsal Sunday night. Judging from the review which the paper gave the play, the diplomatic maneuver was highly successful. Judging from the review n yesterday's Kansas, Kenneth o'esthewate was in attendance Sunday night too.
--which broadcasts every Sunday afternoon.
We don't think "Hay Fever" is so good as Mr. Posthiltwaite said it was, although we haven't as yet seen the production. We can play so scintillating from seat seven, w D, section F of the baleony; he best seat we could obtain for o修士's performance.
Yesterday we had an enlightening discussion with an elderly citizen if Lawrence. From his seat of vantage in a down-town billboard parlor, he literally spat out his contempt of the present generation of collegians. Not one of them, he claims, can shoot a decent game of pool.
Overheard at the mid-week:
There must be some other way than
his to get tired.
In answer to numerous inquiries, we wish to say that the Shinier hasn't a deep mind. It's just so dirty that you can't see bottom.
Students can be divided into two classes: those who are looking for a fourth to play contract, and those who are looking for a fifth.
After three days of diligent research, we must confess that we are unable to find anything mysterious or sinister about Gene Harlin's thinner. All we can say is that when he was 18 years old, he was in school, he never put out any tales about getting black eyes in boxing classes.
This morning we had planned to celebrate our birthday by reprinting a bit of poetry; but we are unable to find anything appropriate. For a while we toyed with the idea of "One Hundred Twenty-first birthday." The only drawback was that his numbers and our age didn't tally.
Both Heldt's and Simon's offers have to be play jazz, but the three trumpeters of the University of Kansas are studying classical music. They all three prefer playing sturdy band tunes to playing some cambling love song. Bob and Leo are going to teach music in schools, and Lewis desires to conduct a professional orchestra.
In several mass bands that have assembled am the Hill, the trio has played special solo numbers. At these times, notable conductors who have been here, such as Howard Janson, head of the School of Music at Rochester, N. Y.; Harold Buchanan, director of bands at the University of Chicago; and A. A. Harding, director of bands at the University of Illinois, have congratulated the men and commented on their outstanding performances.
Professor Bachman said, "I surely wish you boys weren't tied up; I would like to have you for my band
The three trumpeteers bought their horns at different times, but they are identical, even to the finish, because of this, they can get the ame tones and volume with all three cornets.
In point of number of years they have studied music, Lewin Maser anks first. Lewis got his early musical training at Ft. Pierce, Fla. He played one year in the University of Miami Symphony orchestra and in the band. Later he studied a year and a half at the renowned Eastman Conservatory at Rochester, N. Y. There he studied under 2d C. Mellon, principal member of the trumpet section of the Rochester symphony orchestra. Lewis is now assistant Prof. of Music at the University of Kansas Symphony orchestra. He plays the piano, cello, and percussion as well as the cornet, and he is **boo* studying conducting.
Robert Boyle was always interested in music so he bought a rumpet about eight years ago and taught himself to play. When Bob vent to Topека High School, he joined the band. His teacher noticed his talent and sent him to several music contests. In 1834 he was ranked second division in the national band contest at Des Moines, owne, and placed first at the Kansas state convention in Emporia. In 1835, during the festival he has received two classifications of superior, and one of highly superior. Bob is an expert pianist and a clever arranger.
Leo Horacek is the youngest of the three trumpeters. He started playing the cornet when he was even years old, and he is 19 years old now. He too, received band training in the Topeka High School. He placed second in the Kansas state music contest at Emporia during his senior year at high school. He was placed in the first division at a state band festival held here in 1986. Both he and Bob are members of Marshall's band, a semi-professional organization in Topeka.

The School of Education faculty also changed the status of several courses now offered in the University. Courses in speech and dramatic arts were raised to a graduate level. Methods of Class Instruction in Piano and Content and Methods of Physical Education, which were formerly junior-senior courses, are now open to seniors and graduate students. In each school music methods for primary and for intermediate grades have been renumbered as indicating junior courses.
Last summer was the first time work in the physical education department had been offered to graduate students. Now a combined degree of physical education and education is obtainable. Students can now obtain 21 hours graduate work in physical education.
Principles of Community Recreation, which was formerly only open to juniors and seniors, is now available for graduate work. Organization and Administration of Physical Education has been raised from a senior course to the senior-graduate level. The course, Treatment of Athletic Competition, has been discontinued and has been replaced by a course, Theory and Practice of Athletic Training, which is a senior-graduate subject.
New courses which were approved for the department of physical education are: Seminar in Physical Education, three hours credit for graduate work only; Special Problems in Physical Education, three hours credit open to graduate students only; and Advanced Basketball, three hours credit of a senior-graduate level.
Stockton Pleased With Prospects
Prospects for the placement on business graduates this year are as good as last year, if not better, F. T. Stockton, dean of the School of Business, brought out in a speech before the School of Business seniors and economies major Tuesday night at the auditorium in Frank Strong ball
Ninety-three graduates of the School of Business out of the 118 graduates now have jobs, he reported.
Two other points that he stressed were the great value of a good per-
"In spite of the successful work of the placement division the student must depend more on his own initiative in making contacts because of its importance. The student class and the present business conditions," Dem Stockton admonished
