Kansan Comment
Student Dormitories Possible, Desirable
Student dermotories, housing hundreds of students comfortably and pleasantly at a reasonable expense, are not at all impossible dreams at the University.
Dr. R. I. Canuteson, head of the student health program and one of the foremost authorities on the subject in the Middle-West, points out that such housing facilities are now being enjoyed by hundreds of students on campuses of other state universities—including Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Washington, and Arkansas.
With the possibility of receiving P.W.A. grants for approximately forty-five per cent of the cost of erection, or Federal Housing Administration loans up to eighty per cent of the amount necessary, there are two ways by which the University could handle its end o the bargain:
(1) A private corporation could be formed, to raise the amount through bonds or subscriptions.
(2) The state legislature could appropriate the sum.
The success of Corbin hall in paying for itself easily in a short time demonstrates the security of such an investment, whether private or public.
One of the principal objections to the dormitory idea is that there would still be some students who would be unable to afford living in dormitories, even though the expense should fall below the average cost of rooming and boarding house facilities now. Yet, as Dr. Canuteson points out, dormitories as well as private establishments would require a large force of waiters, janitors, room-cleaners, and other assistants, and these jobs would be filled by students who otherwise would be forced to accept similar jobs, often at lower pay, in privately operated houses.
Taken all in all, the advantages of student dormitories at the University so far outweigh their disadvantages, that students can only encourage their establishment as soon as possible.
Are There Two Reasons For President's Protest?
The fact that the President mentions new armaments in the same-breath with his sudden indignation over German treatment of the Jews raises the possibilities of a secondary motive behind his sudden public awareness of the condition of the minority race in Fuehrerland.
Although atrocities of similar nature have been occurring in European and Asiatic countries for several years, his action in recalling the U.S. ambassador from Germany represents almost an over-night "about-face" in the international relations policy of the state department.
Not even the most argumentative would dispute the inhumanity of the racial crime now being committed against the Jewish race in Germany, and there is little doubt that the President's public protest is a fair representation of public sentiment throughout the nation.
Yet as far as sentiment is concerned, the public has not been exactly unnoved by such similar incidents as Japan's invasion of China. Italy's acts of imperialism, the wholesale murder-purges in Russia, or the partitioning of Czechoslovakia. And of these, the President has said little or nothing publicly.
Is it merely a coincidence that his most recent diplomatic move should occur just at the time he is trying to get across a huge rearmament program? There must be some logical argument to warrant the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars in an attempt to have the most complete and modern warfare machinery of any nation in the world. A possible conclusion is that the President believes that by a few verbal attacks on the German government, accompanied by subtle predictions of a possible war on the home continent, he may encounter less difficulty in his armament program.
New Course Reflects Progressive Action
By approving the new course in Newspaper Photography, which will be offered by the department o journalism during the spring semester, the faculty of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences has given academic recognition to the most significant recent trend in the publishing industry.
With such picture magazines as "Life" and "Look" and their scores of imitators flooding the news stands of the country, and with the upswing in "visual" reporting resulting from the perfection of efficient and inexpensive cameras and engraving outfits, the ability to take and develop good news photos on the spur of the moment has become almost as im-
important a prerequisite for a modern reporter as the ability to collect news and write copy.
The head of the Associated Press recently expressed his belief that the daily newspaper of the future will devote no less than fifty per cent of its entire space to pictures.
The University, and especially the College faculty, are to be congratulated upon this timely and progressive action which opens a new field of important technical training to the student body.
The next Congress is going to work out another farm program. Crop-control was a complete failure: It didn't control either the crops or the votes.
President Roosevelt was not discouraged by the election results. Now he's got fewer Democrats to keep in line with the Administration.
Slamming Open Door May Prove Boomerang
The gradual closing of the "open door" in Chinn and Manchuria may result in trade reprisals against Japan, Secretary of State Hull has hinted. The secretary has repeatedly voiced more than a mere protest against violations of the former foreign policy of the Far East.
Laying a legal basis for a bill of complaints, he has cited specific instances in which Japan has discriminated against American trade, and hinted at retaliation. Just what reprisals are contemplated is not clear. One may be the extension of the "moral embargo" on airplane shipments to other war materials now sent to Japan.
Since Secretary Hull's plea to American airplane manufacturers, reports of the Muniition Control Board show that no licenses for the export of military planes to Japan have been issued since June.
The probable reason for such compliance is the fact that the airplane plants are operating close to capacity on orders of the United States government and foreign countries other than Japan. It is not necessarily a sound foundation for belief that a similar request directed to the exporters of petroleum, scrap iron, and other war materials would be equally effective.
No plan of outright embargo has yet been heard. It is scarcely possible in conjunction with other world powers, if Great Britain is moving toward a second settlement along the line of the one at Munich. Imposed by the United States alone, such an embargo might not prove of significant value.

Collecting Dolls Is Fun, Even for College Girl
Anna Katherine Kiehl, of Pittsburgh, has grown up. In fact she is a senior in the College here. But she has a collection of dolls that has grown rapidly enough to alarm the other member of her family. The collection, which numbers about 200, fills two display cabinets in the formery library. She obtained one of the cabinets recently after bribing a younger brother to move out his trophies.
It was 10 years ago that the fever of the hobby first came upon her. "A lady down the street had some dolla in her antique shop, and I had to have some, too—that's how Anna Katherine explained simply."
But they are not ordinary dolls. Her antique dolls were the playthings of colonial children, some of them imported, some of them made here in the states more than two centuries ago. All of them are miniature women-dolls, dressed in the costumes of the period.
Her collection includes examples from almost every stage in the development of doll making. Some of the first dolls were made with wooden heads and feet. The bodies were of linen, and often there were wood knots or small marble mache dols, whose bulky appearance led experimenters to develop the wax doll. Anna Katherine's example of this type wears a green silk dress with rows of tiny hand-made pleats around the bottom.
The next advancement came with the china heads, hands, and feet which are now used At first. The chin was made of material, but later fine kid was used.
Made Own Dolls
Dressed in a white period costume worn low on the shoulders, she is 18 inches tall and wears red kid shoes, with gold buttons, on her inch-long feet. A yard and a half of muslin went into the four petty tights. She clutched a tiny figure. The kid body, which is stuffed with hair, remains intact just as it came from Germany. There's a serene expression on her
One of her favorites is Maria Theresa, a German doll. "Long years ago she was brought from the Continent, up the Mississippi, to an old lady in Fort Scott," the owner explains.

Since the German press has started to attack President Rosevelt, those of us who specialize in anti-Rosevelt jokes have had to brush up on our German to keep in touch with current developments.
by John Randolph Tye
This morning we find ourselves in a quandary. We might even say a dilemma. (We will say it; after all, we're writing this column.) Yesterday, this department was threatened with the direct punishment if ever mentioned a certain person or entity who is real threat we are at a loss to know what to do. The stylebook hasn't a thing to say on the subject.
The Courc de Lion in us wants to publish the student's name and hold him up to ridicule. But happily, or unhappily as the case may be, it is the Mahatma Ghandi half of our personality that is dominant today, so we are ignoring the threat as all threats should be ignored.
Walter Winchell claims that the first dozen threats in a columnists' ife are the hardest to bear. We only hope that the next eleven don't work as much have on our finger ings as this one did.
King George and Queen Elizabeth when they visit America will arrive by sea. Which gives us something new to worry about for the next decade, two lights in the old North Church are still in good working condition?
Now that practically everyone on the Kansan staff has come forth and testified that he liked "Blossom Time," that it won the best show he ever saw, she said. "You can to see a better show, maybe the matter can be dropped for a while."
The Posttestwate-Robinson crists combination didn't work so well on its first assignment. On second thought, the boys thought differently than they did on first thought.

Henry Haldeman-Julius, avid fan of "Little Abner" that he is, still thinks the cartoonist is no great
Dresden face, and her china hair—piped high on her head in braids—is held up with blue painted-on chin combs.
Princess Augusta Wilhelmina of Germany, a portrait doll, is perhaps the most stately in the group. Dressed in white chiffon studded with rhinestones, she is the image of her namesake in appearance and costume. Even the iron cross, which she wears on a tiny chain around her neck, was copied from her sister, Anna, whose three dolls were made when the Princess tied the United States. They were sold with small trunks containing complete outfits—even jewels and fans—competed from her wardrobe.
"Some of the dolls I've dressed completely, pantalongs and all! Everything is made by hand. But there have been occasions," she admitted, "when I neglected the corre-."
Has Foreign Collection
In describing her collection of foreign dolls she pointed out that their costumes are more difficult to make than those of the antiques: "They have to be perfect in every respect. You can't use your imagination, because you might spoil the cestet. Each detail, handed down through the centuries, has its significance."
Her foreign collection was begun when her father brought her a doll from Berlin. Since then she has added pendants, diplomas, and soldiers, all dressed in native costume. The bodies are made of stockinet or felt, while the features are for the most painted on.
There's the hand carved wooden doll, a Chinese woman, which she bought in San Antonio. There's the Swedish doll in holiday dress, her little kid jacket lined with fur. A purse hangs at her waist. Stiff little curls and tiny patent shoes with silver sleeves on her app-up. Silver ones that the Yvette made entirely of felt. But most of all, there's the Russian pleasant.
"She's a Ukrainian woman," Anna Katharine laughed about her. "And she has the most smug expression! Sitting with her market basket over her arm, looking down the little potato of her nose, she is the most supersciendula creature I have ever seen."
shucks as a mathematician. With pencil and paper, H-J has proved to us that if you double a dollar twenty times the answer is only $2412.48, and not a million. He suggests we do something about the matter, but that is one problem we will not tackle. Mathematics was never our forte. We were, however, quite a whiz in arithmetic in grade school until we took up the multiplication tables.
