Kansan Comment
To Study Domiciles And the Food Therein
Two committees were appointed by the Men's Student Council Monday night—one to investigate men's housing on the Hill and the other to review the dormitory systems for men at other colleges. With these committees, the Council continues a movement started last year.
Logically, the first committee will determine the need for a men's dormitory. Such need will be measured by investigation of those facilities for students who are forced to pay the lower prices for rooms and board. To these students, whose problem is greatest, a dormitory within the limits of fair living standards, yet providing rooms and food at a minimum of cost, would be a boon not only to healthy living, but provide a needed gregariousness as awell.
Consequently, to attempt provision of rooms and board in the minimum classification, positive consideration of a co-operative system would be in order.
Based on the second committee's investigations of systems at other colleges will be the recommendation for a men's dormitory here if reports are favorable. Since the present University building program does not include dormitories, other methods of financing such a project may by the well-worn subscription drive, by some federal agency as PWA, or by bonds, to be liquidated by profits and earnings of the dormitory.
As the dormitory is not included in the University program, possibility of its being built appears remote. Nevertheless, evidence that student opinion and its representatives, student leaders, are cognizant, or at least aware, of housing problems was ably demonstrated by the Men's Student Council Monday night.
"And it ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things."—Machiavelli.
Pension! Pension! Who Wouldn't Take a Pension?
When bigger and better pensions are planned, politicians will plan them. Whether the prophecised stipend is thirty dollars a week or two hundred dollars a month, the idea hits the mark with the public.
The "ham-and-egg paradise" guaranteed by California's proposed amendment to be voted on Nov. 8, paying thirty dollars a week to unemployed persons over fifty, appears doomed, however, in spite of Sheridan Downey, the western Moses and leader of California's aged out of poverty, who swept Senator McAdoo to defeat.
Organized retailers, teachers, state and city employees, editors, the State Bankers Association, and Republican and Democratic party members have pitied their influence against it. Culbert L. Olson, Democratic nominee for governor, finds the program unworkable and the Communist and Socialist parties have printed formal declarations against the proposal.
The crack-pot amendment, described as a social-credit scheme, provides issuance of thirty dollars every week in one dollar warrants to unemployed persons over fifty. Each Thursday, individual warrants would be stamped with a two-cent stamp purchased with United States currency from the state. Failure to stamp it would make the warrant worthless. By the end of the year, the warrant would be covered with $1.04 in stamps, returned to the state, and redeemed in currency—with the extra four cents for administrative purposes.
Plausible sounding isn't it? But merchants and banks cannot be forced to accept warrants for payments or deposits. And the only sure outlet for warrants would be payment of taxes to various political divisions, which in turn would pay fifty percent of all salaries of state, county, and city employees in warrants. Furthermore, will you pay the $811,200,000 worth of redemption stamps to validate the warrants. The answer, obviously, is that the earning majority who receive no pensions would fork over with the cold cash.
Perhaps California and the pension politicians should be allowed to attach the amendment to the state's constitution—and demonstrate economic unsoundness of similar panaceas.
"If we fail to . . . attain . . . an attitude of scientific detachment, of relentless quest for truth, wherever that search may take us; if we allow ourselves to be bawled by our emotions, by human vanity, or even by a realization that we ourselves are men, we cannot hope to eat of the fruit of the tree of knowledge without getting a very bad stomach-ache."—E. A. Hooton.
Now, They Play For Their Suppers
With the authorization of training tables, Big Six Conference officials have taken belated recognition of the popular belief that football players might be worth their suppers. Especially when they spend from two or three hours of the hardest kind of physical labor daily in order to make it possible for their respective alma matres to make of the nation's chief Saturday afternoon diversion, a vastly paying proposition during the three fall months.
Couch Ad Lindsey is quoted as hailing the training table to be of great value to the players' health, as they will be able to obtain a warm, well-balanced meal at the close of practice—something which was impossible when players had to rely upon fraternity or boarding house leftovers after six o'clock.
We presume that the training table will not exactly be a detriment when it come to securing good high school material next fall, either—although Mr. Lindsey omitted to mention that fact.
Financially speaking, the adoption of the training table is a step in the open, also—it will do much to remove the basis for the charges of "hypocoryc" hurled at Big Six schools by athletic associations of other colleges and universities who openly subsidize their athletes.

Former Law School Dean Was Friend; As Well As Teacher To Underclassmen
Freshmen and new students on the University Campus, looking at the bronze statue of James Woods Green in front of the law building, and learning that sank building is named Green hall, would probably remark to their older friend, "Say this man Green must have been important"
Mary Jane Sigler, e'unel.
No doubt the upperclassmen would reply "Uncle Jimmy? Why, Uncle Jimmy's a tradition here on the Campus. See that inscription there on the pedestal beneath his name? It says 'Beloved Friend and Counselor.' He was, too—my dad is a lawyer. I saw him in law school, and he still talks about 'Uncle Jimmy' and how everyone overheard him."
James Woods Green was dean of the School of Law from its beginning in 1879 until his death in 1919. In the early days he was also manager of athletics and throughout his stay on Mount Oread he was a central figure at football rallies
Chancellor E. H. Lindley, who came to the University shortly after "Uclee Jimmy" died, called him "the soul of the University." Indeed, he has become one of the leaders of the patron paint of the Schol. of Law.
Professor William L. Burdick,
dean emeritus of the School of Law,
and who has been here forty
years, states that "Uncle Jimmy"
was "probably the most beloved
man ever connected with the U.S.
national government." Dean's
popularity was the result of
both his interest in athletics and
And the younger student, impressed by the spirit and sincerity of his friend, would then and there, as have Jayhawker students for the last sixty years, accept an offer as a part of the University.

"Uncle Jimmy" never used sarcasm in his classes but often employed a gentle iron to accomplish his ends. One day he held class overtime and when none of the students began scraping their feet on the floor he remarked: "This is not a stable, however impatient you may be to to get to your stalls"

The Notre Dame game is as good as any to repeat the tornado story which so popular in Kansas after the 1935 election. A farmer, after watching, his house, barn, livestock, and even the trees of his farm, carried away by a tornade, couldn't resist the impulse to laugh. Like little Audrey, he just hagged and laughed and laughed. "I can't help it," he told his wife who was injured, a crucial moment. "I just have to laugh at the damn completeness of 'all.'"

Until 12 years ago the annual School of Law banquet was held on the Thursday nearest "Uncle Jimmy's birthday," which was a Wheli 4. That was called "Uncle Jimmy's Day," and the following Friday was always a holiday for the law student who was now held in May (because of convenience) some still speak of it as being "Uncle Jimmy's Banquet."
The news that a Hanover, Kan. blacksmith is quitting his job to enter college brings to mind the story of a lumber jack from Michigan who secured a leave of absence in order to return to school to work on his doctor's degree. So many college graduates are trying to get his job, he explained, that one has to have a Ph.D, to feel secure in the lumber business any more.
Dean Green was known to all as a "friend of the boys." He was never an exacting teacher and in cases of discipline leamed to mercy rather than justice. He had a standing order with the Lawrence police department to let him know where he was when he whereupon he attempted to get the boy out by demanding a writ of habeas corpus.
The Green memorial statue was erected 14 years ago by alumni of the University. Funds were raised by the University of Kansas Memorial Corporation as a part of the memorial campaign which solicited donations to the university and the Memorial Union building. The statue was executed by the noted sculptor Daniel Chester French at a cost of $40,000. Oldtimers on the campus say that the statue doesn't look like the subject, but that it is symbolic of his democratic spirit. The student standing at the side of "Uncle Jimmy" in front of the memorial great additional expense to show the close relationship between the dean and the student bed.

"Snarky" is just an ex-filling station decoration to most of us, but to the boys of Alpha Kappa Psi, it is a much-loved maven. So when the 175 pound cast iron eagle flew from its perch in front of the A.E.P house, the boys wept bitter tears of remorse.
Then Snarky flew back, and all the happy little pledges helped him to a place on the front porch, from which they trust, he will never fly again.
