Comment
More Buildings Needed For Example, a Dormitory
A 10-year building program for the state schools has been recommended for Kansas by Charles M. Harger, chairman of the Board of Regents.
Declaring that Kansas has had a 10-year building moratorium during which time practically no building has been done, he suggests that a plan be put into execution which will insure the expenditure of a minimum of at least $200,000 annually for building in our state schools.
Mr. Harger is undoubtedly right when he says that a program of building is needed. He has pointed out the increase of approximately 2,000 enrollment in the past decade. Campuses are becoming crowded. But, will $2,000,000 over a 10-year period be sufficient for the five state schools? We are inclined to believe that it will not be, especially with a lapse of 10 years to make up.
The Kansan has pointed out at least six new buildings which are badly needed. To that list may be added a seventh which is, perhaps, even more needed—a dormitory for men students.
Kansas University is one of the few schools in the country with a respectably large enrollment which has not instituted a dormitory system for at least a part of its men students. Other schools have found that this system pays good dividends in health, morale, and in cash, for a dormitory not only furnishes proper housing, but in practically all cases where instituted they have proven able to pay for themselves in cash.
Dormitories have a functional part in building and maintaining the spirit of democracy which many critics have deplored as lacking in our educational institutions, and in perpetuating that spirit when school days are done.
Even more pressing, however, is the problem of housing students. With enrollments increasing as rapidly as they have been at the University in these late years, the rooming problem increases correspondingly. Of course, it can be pointed out that rooms "can always be found," and to date, this has been true. But there is another problem here: What kind of rooms are they?
Without casting any reflections upon the rooming houses of Lawrence, it is still logical to assume that with increasing need for housing, poorer rooms must be pressed into service; and if this is true now, what will it be in the future?
Improvement in Health In United States
If our present health trends continue, this year will be the healthiest year in the history of the United States, according to a report by the United States public health service.
Last year only 11 out of every 1,000 persons in the country died, which was $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent less than the mortality rate for the previous year. For the last nine months of 1937 was recorded the lowest death rate in five years.
The report showed a great reduction in deaths from diseases such as tuberculosis, malaria, pellagra, scarlet fever, diphtheria, digestive diseases and kidney diseases. Fewer deaths were caused by scarlet fever and diphtheria than at any time in the last 10 years. The number of deaths from tuberculosis was also reduced.
But while deaths from disease are declining, the death rate from accidents has increased, and in 1937 ranked sixth in the list of health's "public enemies." The death rate from all accidents was 77 persons out of every 100,000, which was a reduction of 9 per cent since 1936. Motor car accidents took the lives of 28 persons out of every 100,000. Nearly 40,000 persons lost their lives in motor car accidents last year. To further reduce the death rate we need a constructive program for reducing accident fatalities.
Sickness and death may be even reduced further by the aid of government funds from the social security act and the cancer control act. Under these two acts the federal government is spending annually 83% million dollars. A bill now pending before congress would provide three million dollars annually for treatment and control of syphilis and cancer. The national campaign against syphilis under the direction of Dr. Thomas Parrish, surgeon general of the United States Public Health Service, is gaining momentum and will greatly reduce the number of deaths from syphilis and other venereal diseases, if the people are willing to co-operate.
The United States is becoming healthier every year. Each one of us should give his best effort and co-operation toward making this country a better place in which to live.
For Wagner Act
A Test
Through "bloody Harlan" county, Ky., pass to where the Virginia state boundary passes "The Trail of the Lonesome Pine," made famous by song and story. But Harlan county has been advertised more blatantly by its bloody conflicts between owners and some 16,000 miners who mine the soft coal that lies pocketed in the Cumberland mountains.
Unsafe for union organizers, Harlan county officers and company men have traditionally worked together to thwart unionization. But last week the Federal Department of Justice began a criminal prosecution in the small town of London in Laurel county, which is in the same judicial district as Harlan county, for a "conspiracy" to deprive minors the right to organize as guaranteed by the Wagner act. The department acted under the Reconstruction statute of 1870, which defines a conspiracy to deprive any citizen of his rights, guaranteed by the federal constitution or laws, as a federal offense.
Among the 64 defendants, are a former high sheriff of Harlan县, 21 deputy sheriffs, 23 officials of coal companies, and 21 companies. To protect the 250 witnesses called and to search spectators for firearms, Assistant Attorney General Brian McMabon has on hand a dozen of the justice department's G-men assisted by newly swarm marshals.
Significant beyond the boundaries of "bloody Harlan," the trial's outcome will provide a "precedent which will determine the government's use of criminal prosecution to reinforce the NLRB's procedures under the Wagner act."
Christianity And Democracy
Christianity has ever been a liberator. Even imperfectly practiced, it has freed men's mind from the oppression of hate, selfishness and superstition. Increasingly political institutions have reflected that freedom. The relation has again been called to attention at the New England Methodist Conference by a statement of Alf M. Landon: "If Christianity does not achieve its aims, democracy cannot succeed."
Even the casual observer can see that the attack on democracy today centers in un-Christian thinking—selfishness, hate, dishonesty, arrogance. Those who wish to preserve and perfect self-government, might well begin by seeking to improve the praecice of Christianity—unselfishness, love, honesty, meekness. When those qualities govern men they can govern themselves.

Editor's note: These stanzas are selected from the
poem and named in the William Hearbert
Carpentry诗集.
A Newcomer Enters The Silver Dame's Tavern
The tavern in the poem is similar to Keats' *Mermal Tavern for dead poets.* The chorus is composed of three voices. The first is the kyrie; the chorus describes military aviators. The dialogue following the last chant of the chorus takes place outside the tavern. The evening is about over the storm. The characters of *The Garden*, the earth, and man, have left a melancholy mood.
By Marjorie Houston, c'38
SONG FOR THE NEW VALKYRIE
Chorus:
Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lavergne, Ky.
warriors, magnificently winged—oh, bright Valhalla! Puffs below them are men-mangled with Masks or Valhalla. They are the fouless, the gravity-borne, the paths that their vibrating frames have Are they crystal, invisible ways of the air, But we may glimpse with our psychic stare The miles they have soared for Valhalla.

Death is the tribute for those who mock. They die for Valhalla.
For this is a force beyond the blind Measures handing or the reasoning mind. He wields an enemy mite by bitter-Bitter-sweet essence and biter pith? Brave to kill for Valhalla!
Men wish to build. They wish to block Cities; to bear a hard stock. Sanity, science, and hope do not cease Entreatying pinions of peace.
Shelley:
Chorus:
Wait till the horse is in the air!
They rise reluctant and all awore.
But, ab Vallahba.
The beast is in a savage ring—
the half-bear courage, the failing wing—
Pre-date all logic, and echoes cling
For glory of Vallahba.
And his shivering steed.

Ghost Writers-a national publication but regretting the unpleasantness it has caused, Bob said, "I am sorry about the whole affair because it has resulted in the questioning of the honesty of many students who do their own work. I realize that I was doing wrong in helping students the way I should have done, my faculty for preventing my election to Phi Beta Kappa."

Shakespeare:
What we have known is darkness—dreamed in a lambert
And he can cut the light. Stand here alone Without convictions, yielding human hope,
And, each his way, trudge through the morceau black.
Pearson concluded his magazine article, written last August, by saying, "Ghost writing is putting me through school for which I am indebted. But I am more indebted to it for the fun it is giving me. I'm having the time of my life being a power in the lives of others. From college and graduate to college graduates they come to me, and for a little while, to some slight degree, I control the immediate destiny of each."
Shakespeare:
Shallow
There is no pathway here, no guiding hand.
I had a sharp purpose in myself
to follow the way.
To know the truth, choice of a stubborn folly.
Now we must inquire if the whole thing is done
with our hearts. What is it that we are doing?

Continued from page 1
The department of chemistry reports that the number of calls for seniors is very small this year and that only 20 per cent of the chemistry present. However, most of the seniors have been placed in the past years.
Every member of the graduating class from the School of Medicine in Kansas City, Kan., has employment for next year. Internships account for many of these positions, although nearly all who have served their internship will find many opportunities in Kansas for starting a general practice.
Embryo newspaperman will have tough sliding this year, according to Prof. L. N. Flint, head of the department of journalism placement bureau. Only about 20 per cent of the 35 senior jobs have jobs lined up and only one-fourth as many calls have been made for seniors as were made last year at this time, when 95 per cent of the class had jobs.
The School of Pharmacy reports a
greater number of calls than last year, especially in retail pharmacy. All pharmacy seniors will be employed as soon as they pass the state board qualifying examination in June, it is indicated.
The department of sociology reports a decline of 10 to 15 per cent in calls for seniors, with the greatest demands in the fields of social service work, particularly in the public assistance field. In regard to the employment situation Prof. C. D. Clark, head of the department, said, "In general we encourage graduates to go on to a graduate professional field, if interested in social work. However, if they are financially unable to do this at once, we assist the student in finding education with an public assistance program has afforded jobs to a large number of our graduates the past five years." The decline of emergency relief work has cut down on the number of jobs available for sociologists, he believes.
The placement bureau heads and the heads of the departments all agreed that most employers select men on three main principles: appearance and personality; scholastic record; and record. Employers must also consider others. Experience is also a factor which enters into the consideration in many fields.
They also expressed the opinion that, as a rule, employers give preference to students with a general education or those specialized on technical training.
