UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
WEDNESDAY. NOV. 2. 1628
An Open Letter To the Editor Of the Tulsa Tribune:
The University Daily Kansan does not make a habit of answering unfair attacks, especially when they tend to be unsportsmanlike and vicious. But we are breaking that rule on your account because your activities or those of your representative are such that we think it is our duty to warn all college professors.
We warn them of prying snoops and trouble-makers who slip into classrooms, fail to introduce themselves or make known their intentions, and then make a vicious attack on the character of the instructor.
This is just what you have done. Wielding a vitriolic pen, you tried, judged, assessed a farcical sentence of communism on Prof. L. N. Flint, chairman of our department of journalism, based on evidence obtained during a fifty-minute class period. Your editorial-indictment of the head of our department interpreted sentences in a diabolical manner, misconstrued class reactions, and bore the imprint of your misjudgment.
You traveled to the lecture rooms and listened to Professor Flint conduct his class Tuesday, Oct. 25. on Editorial Problems and Policies at 9:30. After asking permission to sit in, you neither introduced yourself nor stated your purpose; even after the class was dismissed, you did not seek to make your identity known. Following the class period you absented yourself from the building, for after speaking to students a moment, Professor Flint walked to the entrance of the building to speak to you. But you had left.
You say morbid curiosity caused you to wander into the class that morning. It is clear that you did not come with an open mind. In every one of your accusations you consistently misconstrue his statements, going out of the way to bend his slightest remark to your conception of a "red."
If this were the first offense on your part we would dismiss the matter. But evidently you make a practice of such acts. Last February, you opened fire on the Wisconsin Cardinal and upon Grant Rhyle, the head of their school of journalism. Apparently it is your hobby to travel about the country, heckling professors and students, trying to stir up trouble. In Wisconsin your charge was inefficiency; in Kansas, it is communism.
We are not immediately concerned about what happened in Wisconsin or in your own state, Oklahoma, but we are intensely interested when you single out Professor Flint for criticism.
He is too well-known in the state of Kansas as a teacher, as a gentleman, and as a conservative, for anyone to get excited about your cry of "red." Too many of his former pupils, now owners of newspapers in the state, know Professor Flint intimately to get excited over your comments. Yet in your fifty-minute acquaintance you cataloged and branded him as a "red."
For more than thirty-five years Professor Flint has preached the gospel of honest and sincere news writing. It is too bad that you cannot emulate his example. But that is your own concern. However, if you think that your opinion, gathered in 50 minutes, will change the conception of Leon Flint that the newspaper men of Kansas have had for more than thirty years, you are in for a bitter disillusionment.
Signed:
Harold Addington, Editor-in-chief

The Band Helps You; Now You Help the Band
When volunteer solicitors call on students this week for contributions to the "On to Washington" fund for the University band it is not in search of support for an unworthy organization.
This group of nearly one hundred men makes not less than thirty Campus appearances during the school year. This estimate includes approximately twelve all-University convocations, four or five football games, six or seven basketball games, nearly ten rallies and parades and two public concerts.
In performing these services for the University, the band spends more than fifty hours. In rehearsing for these appearances, many times those hours are spent. And at the same time, a large number of the musicians work to earn part of their expenses. Furthermore, they must maintain a 12-hours of "C" semester average to remain in the organization.
ter average
On the basis of the time its members devote to an extra-curricular activity which largely benefits others, the band deserves the trip to the George Washington game. Let's not fail in this responsibility.
Comment
Is it a Race To Intellectual Oblivion?
Is It a Race
"What has become of German literature?" The English Journal thus poses a compelling question. And W. B. Huebsch, who is European scout for the Viking Press, gives a comprehensive answer which carries no little significance.
Look backward for a moment to the authors of the twenties. In that post-war period a new, creative spirit was released in Germany—a spirit that promised great things. It was a renaissance which had world repercussions and world apllause.
There were such world-known thinkers as Physiist Albert Einstein, Novelist Heinrich Mann, Psychologist Sigmund Freud, Philosopher Thomas Mann, Biographers Stefan Zweig and Emil Ludwig. There was the "Forty Days of Musa Dagh" of Franz Werfel and the "All Quiet on the Western Front" of E. M. Remarque. Here were indications of civilized thought—struggling, but certainly coherent.
Then Hitler took power "and the blight that fell on the arts in Germany was as instantaneous as the operation of a cyclone." Today "it is worth a citizen's head to possess a book" by one of these men.
The chief "literary" diet of cultured Germans is now "Mein Kampf," together with "Goebbel's this" or "Goering's that." It isn't easy to picture a former reader of Einstein or of Emil Ludwig bending eagerly over the racial blubberings of Housepainter Hitler, but such must be the case. In desperation, reputable German publishers are turning to travel books and juvenile stories, mostly resurrected from prewar authors—all politically harmless. Thus does the blinder-system work.
Nazi Germany has no great literature because it permits no great thinkers. All those men who made such a proud record for their country in only fifteen years—all are exiles. They are still writing, but Germany has lost them. And Hitler continues to prate of a greater German race.
How can there be any progress or any achievement of any kind—racially or otherwise—when minds are clapped between earmuffs and blinders? A race which suppresses all of its own literature and all of its own thinkers is not moving toward glory but toward death. Hitler's "greater German race" may well turn into a speedy race toward intellectual oblivion.

New Pharmacy-Medic Lab Would Help Crowded Campus
By Agnes Mumert, c'40
A new laboratory building for the School of Pharmacy and the School of Medicine would relieve the overcrowdedness of the whole University. For instance, the Anatomy building would be vacated. There would be more room in Frank Strong hall for the Schools of Business and Fine Arts. The door of Snow ball would be cleared for the housing if another department.
With the removal of the School of Pharmacy and the department of biochemistry from the Bailey Chemical laboratories, the department of
Since the new four-year state law went into effect in 1934, the School of Pharmacy here is recognized as the only legal source for the state's supply of pharmacists. During this four-year period the surplus of pharmacists has been absorbed. Kansas has more than one thousand drug stores which require for replacement pharmacists each year. Consequently provision should be made for a larger enrollment.

Gene Kemper, Topeka sports writer, claims there is a rumor in the Capital city that the KU. alumni there are raising a fund. The alumni will use the money to discover the identity of the unscrupulous persons who used the Daily Kanan as a tool to wreck the morale of the football team. Well, we don't approve of insulting people or those who must be, we wish the alumni would call the first witness Mr. Gene Kemper. We are curious to discover whether he thinks these rumors up by himself or whether he has help.
Add collegiate maxims: A fool and his money are some party.
This department *sorry* that it took Peggy of the Flint Kills to task yesterday, because she comes through today with the best story to appear in the Kansas press this week. A young college fellow from her town, who went with a friend of Peggy's all summer, is on the college football team and is reported to be making wonderful passes. "He ought to," Peggy reports the girl as saying; "he practiced all summer."

Sheldan Downey, $30 a week messiah from California, is the latest prophet to receive the White House anointment as a liberal. Oh liberalism! What crises are committed in his name!
Never let it be said that the youth of today gives up without a fight. Vince Davis, associate editor of the Sour Owl, tried his hand at hitchhiking for the first time last Friday. He thumbed the first car at 12 noon and wasn't discountenunciated when it did not stop. However, after more than 40 cars had whizzed by, Davis started to shout "I'm out." But the Emporia journalism major is not one to give up without a struggle. He sat and sat and sat. Finally about 5:30 a kind motorist gave him a lift to Emporia.
The student paper at Howard University in reporting Mrs. Roosevelt's visit to that campus said that Eleman was human enough to split infinitives whenever they needed spitting. This department can be just as good as the other, but we are omitting the dirty crack we meant to make about the "to completely rout" that Les Kapsleman used the other day.
U. G. Mitchell, professor of mathematics, spoke to the Co-operative Club of Topeka last evening on "The Early History of Mathematics." The meeting will be held in the Jawhawk hotel.

ocation, the congested quarters were criticized. Concern is felt about the effect this may have on the rating of the School.
The laboratories of the physiology department are located in the west basement of Frank Strong hall and in the animal house located across the Campus near the power plant. The department has just one small lecture room, and so must "borrow" upstairs rooms in the building.
But the biochemists (who share the east end of the Bailey laboratories with the School of Pharmacy) have their troubles too. Some of their medical class experiments must be conducted in the hall, for there is just one laboratory of 40 desks at their disposal. Two cubic-hole offices, a tiny room on the third floor for advanced students, and a base-ment and sub-base-ment store and supply room complete the depart-
Further Relieve Congestion
Bacteriology is the only medical science which enjoys modern quarters—on the top floor of snow hall. But but use of a steady growth of major and graduate enrollment, more laboratory and display space is needed. Increased animal quarters and incubation room, as well as an operating room will soon be a necessities in most departments of psychology could be moved to these quarters, leaving even more room in Frank强 Hall.

Morini to Open Concert Series
Miss Eric Morini, violinist, will open the University Concert course series Wednesday. Nov. 9, at 8:30 p.m. in Hoech auditorium. Miss Morini, who is regarded as the foremost voice for the public, was born in Vienna.
Her first public appearance took place that same year in Vienna. The success of the child artist was so sensational that she gave six additional concerts in Vienna that same year and held these with a long tour of Europe.
Her father, a professor of music and head of a conservatory there, was her first teacher but he soon realized that ordinary methods of instruction were unsuited to her rare talent. He sent her to study with Professor Cornelius Conservatory where she finished the master course at the age of eight.
When she first came to the United States she was still in her early teens. She made her debut in Carnegie hall with the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Athur Bondenzky. On this occasion she studied piano and orchestra. Critics immediately classed her with Kreisler and Helftz.
For seven years she remained in Europe, nurturing her talent while she was growing to the age of maturity. When she returned she returned she found her host of admirers had not forgotten her and she resumed her American concert work with great success. She has also become one of the greatest drawing cards in Europe, making trumpet concert tours in England, Germany, Russia, Austria and Australia.
Czechoslovakian Etchings Are Exhibited at Wichita
An exhibition of Czechoslovakian etchings has been sent by the department of design for display at the East High School at Wichita. Miss Gladys Bate, a former student who is now teaching art in that school, requested Miss Rosemary Ketchan, head of the department, to send the etchings. Many of the examples in line and color are the work of T. V. Tainion, J. C. Vendrous and J. Strati-Zamponi, prominent Czecho-Slovakian artists.
Frank Anneberg Heads Jayhawk Tumblers' Club
Frank Anneberg, c'cunel, was elected captain of the Jayhawk Tumblers' Club at a recent meeting of the organization. Other officers elected were Leonard Wolf, b'39, manager; and Robert Luke, c'40, scribe. An executive committee consisting of Charles Arthur, b'39, and Erte Sanchioni, c'41, were appointed to work with the captain.
