Kansan Comment
How About a Love And Marriage Course?
The young people's group at the Unitarian Church announces a series of lectures on "Love Marriage, and the Home." The list of speakers includes authorities from three cities on various aspects of the subjects under consideration.
Any effort at further instructing the public toward the end of happy and successful family and marriage adjustments must inevitably be a commendable undertaking. The fact that most divorces and other marriage tragedies are based on ignorance or improper understanding of the relationships involved has been repeated so often by judges, psychiatrists, and others interested in social advancement that reiteration becomes trite.
Yet in spite of these repeated warnings, and exhortations to those contemplating marriage, thousands of men and women yearly marry and take upon themselves the joint responsibilities of establishing a family, without even the most rudimentary understanding of the factors making for compatibility between the sexes.
Youth's intense interest and eagerness to learn more concerning the subject is evidenced by the capacity enrollments in the few "Love and Marriage" courses now offered by American schools. It is even more strikingly illustrated by the record attendance at college "forums" on the subject, such as those held here at the University last spring.
The pitiful lack of any facilities for providing such information scientifically at most schools illustrates one of the most pernicious aspects of what the sociologist calls "cultural lag." in modern educational systems.
Two of the able and qualified speakers on the church's panel, "Love and Marriage as Factors in Personality Development," next Sunday, are members of the University staff. It is most regrettable that the present curriculum gives them no opportunity to continue and amplify their discussion of this vital subject in the classroom.
Hospital Offers Seniors $25 for 45 Minutes
University of Kansas seniors are displaying a surprising lack of business acumen—even for seniors—in failing to accept the invitation for a health examination offered by the University Health Service. For 45 minutes of his time, the senior may receive a service that would cost $25 if paid for at usual medical rates.
The service includes laboratory tests, X-rays, tuberculosis tests, and immunization if desired against smallpox, typhoid fever, and diphtheria.
Six replies have been received to the 24 letters that were mailed out this week. The student who waits until next June when he has landed a job and finds it necessary to produce a certificate of health has a small chance of getting a checkup at that late date.
The examination is made possible for all seniors this year because of the increased amount of the health fee. The plan involves a regular monthly schedule of one hundred appointments in order that all of the nine hundred members of the senior class may be examined during the school year.
Are Grads Condemned To Death-In-Life?
"College is a place where young people are partly or completely waked up for four years before they go to sleep for the remainder of their lives."
Familiar charge? Yes—one of the forms of blanket indictments generously preferred by critics of the status quo in education. But when a professor and a philosopher such as Irwin Edman of Columbia University repeats the accusation in his new book "Philosopher's Holiday," it becomes worth more re-examining.
The "death-in-life that assails the spirits of young men who have been alive" when he knew them at college surprises Edman when he meets them 10 years after graduation. Of course he is not oblivious to the conditions—"A family, the struggle for a living, a disillusion with the status of contemplation in the nightmare of a violent world"—which makes this intellectual atrophy possible. And although he insists that "the greatest regimentations come from the machinery of living," the question still remains: Why isn't the college education able to prevent this fossilization?
Is it that the student really is shut off from the world by a round of social activities and devitalized classes? Do we witness the failure of recent trends to make college courses "practical?"
Neither of these suggestions seems to
tell the whole truth of the matter. Students actually are "alive" when in college. But many, like Edman, have observed that college somehow fails to convince the student that his "dispassionate attachment of ideas" is worth keeping through life. It has failed to convince even its students that what they get in college may be really the key to a vital life after commencement.
The proper challenge to our college and university educators of the present and future may well be the discovery of why this is so, and how the situation may be adequately remedied.
Novel Experiment May Change Game
A future trend in American football may be foreshadowed by a game to be played between Detroit University and Santa Clara in Sacramento Nov. 27. For the first time in history the game will be played without the point after touchdown. In case of a tie, the game will go to the team making the greatest net yardage in running, passing, and running back kicks, less yards lost in penalties.
The novel experiment is the result of an interview with Gus Dorais, Detroit coach, in which he advanced the opinion that the point after touchdown was often unfair, giving a team outplayed in every department except making touchdowns the winning margin, by virtue of nothing more than a specialist in kicking goals.
Holidays and Bad Weather Don't Mix
Winter will soon be here with sleet and snow, and holiday crowds will throng the streets. Danger of accidents will increase tremendously because of the added traffic and the slippery treacherous pavements. Safety measures should be known and applied.
If you are driving, please give strict attention to the road—no matter how carefree the friends with you may be. Consider the pedestrian—whether he's crossing at an intersection, alighting from a bus or car, or just suddenly dropping from the blue—and slow down. Sleet, snow, and poor visibility increase immeasurably the chances of accident, even when the volume of traffic is below normal.

Joe Brown, Washington's favorite son, is not making himself overly popular in certain quarters by his references to embryonic newspaper men as Hearst-while journalists.
The concert of the University Symphony Orchestra satisfied an old ambition which we were nursing secretly for many years. ever since we've been attending concerts, our heart has bled for the poor violinists who worked themselves into a sweat while the harpist sat complacently on the sidelines waiting for her cue to play the three notes which was her contribution to the evening. We always planned to take time off some weekend and write a concerto for the harp which would make the harpist earn her keep. Once we got as far as by burying manners harder and then a book harmonized from the libretto that was as far as we ever ventured. Since last night however we are no longer ambitious. We doubt that we could compose anything for the harp as good as Piern's concert

Sic transit note: Not until we heard that the Independent's were featuring the Lambeth Walk on their jamboree Saturday night did we ever stop to consider just how transitory are the fads that sweep the campus. Just a year ago when I was at the Independent Student Association, every one was either truckin' or doing The Big Apple. And just the year before it was that "Knock, Knock, who's there?" thing.
