Students Need Better Housing
Perhaps in the future University of Kansas students, men and women alike, will live in comfortable doritories. But until that day, "The Rooming House Blues" will still be popular among the thousand young men who live in "proved" houses.
True pictures of student living conditions are not readily seen by the casual observer. The Greeks' mansions hand-somely take care of their inmates. The girls' dormitories are almost luxurious. Rooming house conditions for the remaining girls are, in most cases, first class. The better rooming houses prefer to keep girls.
But unorganized men have no beds of roses The average rough-and-tumble rooming house packs a dozen or more into dingy, one-window rooms, with a transparent rug, cracked and wobbly furniture, and a squeaky bed with a mattress petrified with age. Walls are about as sound-proof as a Japanese paper house. Scholarly inspiration comes not from these box-like stalls, with a minimum of heat, warm water, electricity, but from more compatible surroundings.
Inspection should be compulsory, setting a standard to improve living conditions, with the proviso that students be allowed to live only in rigidly inspected homes. Authorities should encourage more semi-organized houses that lead to better living and studying conditions for men students. Then, too, all students, unorganized men especially, should insist on dormitories for the future.
Kibitzing Europe's Game of 'Dog-Eat-Dog'
News came yesterday that the English fleet is again mobilizing in the north Baltic in preparation for the possible war with Germany. By so doing, the British are duplicating a maneuver which proved excellent strategy in the last great war. This cuts off Germany's only plausible approach to the sea, and formerly served as a blockade, throttling German supply lines.
Just how effective such a blockade might prove in the event of another war with Germany remains to be seen. It must be kept in mind that the Reich has since developed synthetic products and huge transport planes capable of carrying war-time commerce in the air which certainly serve to at least partly nullify the British advantage of cutting off her approach via water.

Lest the naive of certain radio-listeners Tuesday led them to believe that Hitler really meant it when he said that Czechoslovakia was the last territory in Europe which Germany wished to annex, that "we desire no more land in Europe," it might be well to review a similar pronouncement which Der Fuehrer made immediately following his annexation of Austria. The two statements are almost identical.
Many observers have contended that Hitler never intended to fight, that he based his hopes of acquiring Sudetenland on a big bluff, and only seriously considered war when he realized that he had gone too far to back out; that he must do something to fulfill his boasts or lose face with his German followers.
Such observers regard the dramatically-worded presidential message as merely the necessary "out," the propitiously-timed excuse to post-pone war which Hitler himself has been desperately awaiting. Perhaps that is the exact function the note was originally intended to fulfill.
From Doorn, Holland, comes the news that a German war lord, Kaiser Wilhelm, spending his old age in exile, has "followed anxiously" every move of the European situation the past few days, and "is praying that no other World War will be forfeiting." There, in a single newspaper paragraph, Hitler, if he had eyes to see, might read the futility of his own course.
The Law Says No:
And So They Don't
Proposals to merge the Kansas City Junior college with the University of Kansas City received a decided set-back when Henry L. McCune, attorney for the Board of Education, ruled that the proposed plan was of doubtful constitutionality.
His rulings were based on four legal restrictions. First, legal bars or restrictions to the merger of the Junior College, with the University. Second, legal problems involved in the affiliation between the University and the school district. Third, legal questions touching the acquisition of the University by the Kansas City school district. Fourth, legal problems concerning the acquisition of the University by the municipality of Kannasa City.
Comment
An examination of the Missouri school laws demonstrated clearly that no school district could be granted the authority to employ a private corporation to conduct any or all of its schools. The management, McCune ruled, must be under the school district and its board.
The idea of consolidating these two schools had grown in the minds of Kansas Citizens as the logical means of avoiding the erection of a new Junior College building. The combined schools were to be under the control of the present officers and directors of the university, and the main idea of the merger was to cut down expenses with the school district of Kansas City contributing an amount approximately equal to that expended in the operation of the Junior College.
An Associated Press dispatch in the Kansas City Star reported that J. M. Gentry, state safety commissioner of Oklahoma, is disillusioned. A check disclosed thirty-two persons he licensed to drive automobiles were receiving pensions as needy blind.
All the objections to this merger were on the legal side of the question. It remains to be seen whether the better educational facilities, the convenience, the economy and the prestige that could be derived from the merger will outweigh the legal difficulties.
"We're going to revoke their licenses and give them the privilege of undergoing an eye examination," growled Gentry.

notes and discords
In a sure sign of winter when the first "Whither America" lectures begin to invade the campus.
Pursuing the sports page would be in much easier task if the sports-wri-tors appended at the end of a story to a glossary of their chooser argot.
The weather Saturday was perfect for a track meet. For a while in the last half it loked as if the game might turn into one.

Have you joined the Map-of-the-Week Club vet?
The situation wouldn't seem quite untile if one knew that the foreign exchange scholars returned to their countries at least half as enthusiastic about democracy as the return of American students are about freedom.
Maybe a too early introduction to the Decameron left our mind bruised and callous, but we for one fail to understand why the gentleman in Kansas City tried to ban Thomas Horton Bentons' "An Artist in America." The autobiography still remains one of the best in years, though, and shame on those who haven't got around to reading it.
After a tortious day trying to make sense out of the conflicting reports from Europe, it's a relief to turn to the clarity of Gertrude Stein's prose in that delightful knowledge," which if we were dictator we would make compulsory reading for all new college students and instructors, there is this poignant passage: "The meaning of war is this and the meaning of war is this, and the meaning of war and the meaning of war is this." And then she adds another war was a other war was a no other war was a war what did they feel was a war when there was war."
