Make Fields Safe For Touch Football
With the opening touch football games this week, the nineteenth annual University men's intramural program will be launched. Under the supervision of Ed Elbel, intramurals have succeeded in giving some 1,800 men_healthful exercise in sports that range from horseshoes to tennis.
Registration shows that twenty - three eleven-man touch football, eleven six-man, seventeen tennis, fourteen horseshoes, and fifteen handball teams are to obtain relief from books and the stuffy library this fall.
The problem-sport of the program is touch football—not only the roughest, but the most popular. Rule revisions, field conditioning, and safety precautions will doubtlessly eliminate injuries. But still it will be no cream-puff affair. Linemen charge as hard as if it was tackle football. Because most of the men have more brute power than technique, chances for a snapped arm or a curved sims are high.
Despite the many new cultures taken, the real need is for protective clothing. As this is too tough to express from a confined budget, it is hoped that those who do compete will not indulge in recklessness for the spirit of old Sig Tan or the Galloping Gallivers.
Beware of Italians Bearing Good
Withdrawal of Itaïv's veteran troops from Spain shows definitely that Mussolini is attempting to win world public opinion to his side.
First indications that Mussolini was responsive to world public opinion came when he asked Hitler to call a four-power conference. This suggestion resulted in the famed Munich discussion and treaty. Public opinion of the world demanded peace and Mussolini saw that it got it..
Then Toscaniini's passport was reported to have been refused by the Italian government but protests by the outside world were so numerous that the Italian government changed its mind.
And now, Mussolini will withdraw some of his troops in Spain to try to pacify that section of world opinion objecting to Italian intervention.
Mussolini is catering to foreign opinion, especially that of the democracies, because he wants something from the governments of those countries. Maybe it is free wheat to round out Italy's short wheat harvest this year. Maybe it's recognition of Ethiopia, together with some loans to enable Italy to develop the newly-acquired colony. Maybe it's annexation of Matorca and Minorca by Italy . . .
One thing is certian: Mussolini is courting world opinion, and the world should be watching to see what the catch is.
What Will They Think of Us in 6938?
Kelly was asked to provide information to enable historians of that day to locate the capsule, which is to be buried fifty feet below the surface of the New York world's fair grounds. His directions for the location are by use of electromagnetic prospecting, a method which Kelly attributed to an American.
Sherwin Kelly, University of Kansas alumnus, is looking five thousand years into the future. If present plans are carried out, in 6938 A.D. historians will receive an 800-pound letter telling them about us and our times.
Koolipun is printed with permanent ink and a regular printer and is carefully bound. Copies of the book are now being sent to museums, libraries and other repositories throughout the world. The book contains the exact latitude and longitude of the spot where the capsule is to be placed, and instructions for the building and using of geo-physical prospecting instruments. A key to English is included.
The metal letter is torpedo-shaped, seven and a half feet long, with a diameter of eight inches. The outer shell is of cupaloy, an alloy of copper having the strength of steel and high resistance to corrosion. Film and articles, preserved in an inert gas, will be sealed in a pyrex glass covering set in waterproof mastic.
The capsule will contain books treating of science, engineering, industrial, social, religious, and philosophic achievements. Small articles that we use today, motion picture film showing how we look and act and talk, photographs of famous people and things, and messages from great men of today are included.
But unless human nature changes radically in the next several thousand years, we'll wager that curiosity will be responsible for the digging up of the capsule long before the year 6928 rolls around.
Comment
Will It Be 'Professor Benes?'
Brown University has offered former President Benes of Czechoslovakia a professorship in political science. By this prompt and commendable action, officials of the American university have indicated that there is still a place in the world for a Czechoslovakian believer in democracy, even thought a believer in Czechoslovakian democracy may soon command about as much credence as one of Hitler's promises.
Benes represents the cream of post-war democratic idealism. He has been described as "aperson who wished to use intelligence to govern the world"—intelligence rather than armed force and mass emotional hysteria.
Should he accept the Brown professorship, eynies will not be lacking to point him out as another museum piece of the classroom—that vast store-house traditionally over-crowded with theoretically ideal principles which fail to function ideally in practice.
But Benes has been a statesman as well as a theorist. Czechoslovakia's failure was not his failure. It was not his fault that the senior democracies—who sanctioned the former Czech ideology of his predecessor and master, Masark—failed to provide the means for protecting that ideology.
Given the relative detachment and tranquility of an American college—unharrassed by the rumble of cannon in the streets or the shouts of "Heil Henlein," heil Hitler," beneath his window—Benes may be able to draw upon the ample data of his experience to formulate some better method of withstanding the dictator, with his negation of everything that the symbol "democracy" implies. That way, something might after all be salvaged from the Czechoslovakian fusco.

Even Lilies of the Valley Can Sprout on the Hill
Our existence unknown to many students, the University greenhouse south of Fowler shops is the source of all the flowers which bloom on the Campus throughout the year. It provides cut flowers for the Chan-
terhouse and supplies decorative bouquets for various University functions.
The gardeners start the annual flowers in the greenhouse and as soon as those in the flower beds on the Hill begin to die the young plants grow. The flowers are brought home to the outdoor beds. By constant transplanting, flowers are kept blooming on the Campus throughout the growing season.
Under the direction of the head gardener, Mr. Elson, who replaced the late Mr. A. Van Horbek last year, ten gardeners are working to make the Campus one of the most vibrant and well-loved in the Middle West.
The most colorful spots this fall are the triangle in front of Fraser and the long strip on the lawn of Frank Strong hall which are planted with brilliant red geranium bordered with Jacob's coat.
In the spring a multitude of tulips bloom in these plots and also in the circle on West Campus drive which is now planted with vina rosera and two varieties of verbena. The tulip bulbs are spaced to facilitate immediate planting of geraniums as soon as the tulip stalks begin to die.
Tulips Bloom in Spring
notes and discords by John Randolph Tye
There is one advantage in being an ex-European statesman. The hasbeens over there can always find a job in some American university. Two different colleges in this country are bidding for the services of er-president Benes. It is understood that a number of medical schools are trying to get an option on Hitler when and if he ever has to leave the Fatherland. They figure that the upkeep of Der Fuerher will be cheaper than buying a new iron lung.
With Greta Garbo back in Hollywood, and with the first appearance of John Garfield on the screen—he's the fellow who stole "Four Daughters" from the entire cast—the movie doesn't seem quite so desperate.
A column in the Greensburg News is called "Purity Political." That is one editor who will never be accused of being too redundant.
--lips bloom in these plots and also in the circle on West Campus drive which is now planted with vina rosera and two varieties of verbena. The tulip bulbs are spaced to facilitate immediate planting of geraniums as soon as the tulip stalks begin to die.
The only difference between borrowing money and borrowing trouble is that you can borrow trouble.
There is no truth in the rumor that railroad fares will be higher to San Francisco this summer since the announcement was made that there will be no Sally Rand dances at the New York exposition.
It's no use for if a columnist to depend on any use from outsiders. We asked a fellow journalist if he begged for it, and he answered, "Oh, yeah."
The rumors that Greece is soon to go Fascist doesn't surprise us in the least. Lord Byron predicted it long ago. You remember the poem; it was the one that began, "The heils of Greece, the heils of Greece, where burning Sappho loved and sung."
The Czechs might adopt "Only a Rose" as a national anthem if they are in need of a new one.
The Aero Club will take to the air Saturday morning, it was announced at a meeting of the group last night. Weather conditions permitting, 10 members will go aloft for their first taste of handling the club's 45-hormepower monoplane. Bill Ashley, c42, instructor and temporary chairman of the organization said that each member will get half an hour instruction in easy turns, banks, climbs, and glides.

Aero Club Flies Saturday Morning
--lips bloom in these plots and also in the circle on West Campus drive which is now planted with vina rosera and two varieties of verbena. The tulip bulbs are spaced to facilitate immediate planting of geraniums as soon as the tulip stalks begin to die.
"It's a wonderful opportunity to learn to fly cheaply." Asherd said. "You see, acting as a club instruction teacher is a good price for a $1.30 cheaper than other services."
Following Saturday morning's flight, the club plans to put in at least five hours power flying every week as long as weather permits. It will be taken up as soon as reparations on the club's gliders are completed.
The group will meet next Tuesday, as usual, at 7:30 p.m. in room 116, Marvin hall. At that time of election of officer it is to the held.
Some of the more fragrant spots on the Hill include those beds in front of the library, the gymnasium, and Miller and Watkins halls where the sun is shining. The scarlet bed of Salvia is east of Green hall and there are two canna beds. Petunias grow in most of the remaining beds around the Hill.
Nursery Supplies Shrubs
Nursery Supplies Shrubs
A small nursery is also maintained to provide shade on gently grounds with trees and shrubs. Varieties of shrubs already grown on the Hill are the lilac, spirea, forsythia, honeysuckle, mock orange, and Japan-
According to Mr. Elson there are about one hundred fifty varieties of shrubs that are hardy enough to be grown in this climate and which would improve the beauty of the Campus if the University could afford to supply the nursery with them.
Junior Student To Get Scholarship Medallion
The junior student in the School of Business who made the highest average last year will be honored with the presentation of a medallion award at a smoker sponsored by the University of Florida fraternity, tonight at 8 p.m.
H. B. Chubb, associate professor of political science, will speak on "The Situation in Europe," at the meeting over which Richard Elson, b'39, president of the School of Business, will preside. The Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity house is located at 1602 Louisiana street.
Y.W. and Y.M. Announce Cycle Outing for Everyone
The Creative Leisure Commission of the Y.W.C.A.-Y.M.C.A. will sponsor a bicycle trip Sunday from 2 to 6 p.m. The cyclists will meet at Henley house and from there will go to Blue Mound.
Everyone is invited. Bring your own lunch. Bring your own bicycle or rent one. Place your reservations at Kenley house before noon Friday.
Alnha Phi Omega Meets Tonight
Alpha Phil Omega, national service fraternity, will meet at 8:30 tonight in the Pine room, according to announcement made by Gordon Brigham, president. All members are urged to attend.
On the Shin-ice freshman girl friends is not mentioned you can start gripping out loud. But if your name is mentioned, you can gripe still loured and tell your friends how it really happened. By this time everyone is more than ready to take the humor before them very seriously.
Now look a tite jokes. They are very funny jokes. You probably think they are dull because they are not dirty. That is because you are dull. What you probably want is a magazine you would be ashamed to let your mother read. Shame on the. Editor has a mother too. Mr. Kim will be Carlson and Jim are called art work. Maybe they aren't dirty either. Maybe you thin kike editor doesn't know good ones when he sees them. His! You should see the ones he has on the office walls.
Continued from page 1
Page three of *Owl* is very funny too. It's called the mast-head. It lists the names of a loft of sorority women who want to be called "activity girls." You should hear them sit around and read exchange magazines such as the Harvard Lampon, the Yale Reecrd, and the Annapolis Log. Every time they rea out loud, Jim Bell james. He has his distorted sense of humor. He thinks heiws are humorous. Editor Dick LaBan frowns at Jim and censors th ejoke. It had a double meaning, one of which most college people would never think of.
Dick Martin finds what he thinks is a laugh provoking cartoon. He shows it to everybody. They all laugh but Mary Lewis. She blushes. LaBan blushes too. Se says if they use it, it will have to be redrawn and receptionion. He doesn't want to visit the Dean. Who-would?
Marianna Blanton cannot catch on to jokes. They must be explained to her by other members of the staff. Maybe the staff should explain all the jokes to everybody. Then readers could laugh too. If they all laughed and quit gripping the humorists would be happy. Then the could turn out humor that folks wouldn't take it too seriously.
