Comment
Photography Is Popular on Campus
Under the sponsorship of the University Camera Club, the first competition and exhibition of photography on the Hill has been received by students with enthusiasm, judging from the comments and opinions about the exhibition. As word spreads of the attraction more and more students view the showing while at the same time many express surprise at the quality of the photographs.
Why viewers should feel the surprise they continually express is not known, for many of the photographs measure up to the competition organized by the American Photography magazine that was displayed in Spooner-Thayer museum last month. Hill photographers in the approximately 115 photographs submitted proved themselves original and versatile by the wide diversity of subject matter, arrangement, lighting effects, and composition.
This spring's exhibition culminates the popular interest that students have shown in photography, recognition of which has caused the establishment of a dark room in the Journalism building and provision of quarters for the Camera Club in the Memorial Union. Proof that student interest is not a fad or passing fancy is the Camera Club's announcement of a print showing for next October.
Expenditures For Employment
Jobs for 4,135,000 persons will be provided by the government's spending-lending bill, which calls for $3,054,425,000. This is a large expenditure which is, no doubt, justified by our present unemployment situation.
The house appropriations committee's report stated that the primary purpose of the bill was to provide employment for many millions who are destitute. The report also shows that the national income has declined from an annual rate of 68 billion dollars to about 56 billion dollars or, in other words, 12 billion dollars less. In private industry more than three million workers have lost their jobs since last September. Unemployment has increased making relief more urgent and necessary.
Expenditures to provide employment for workers in the United States is money well spent and money which will bring large returns to the country in happy and content citizens. Providing an opportunity for citizens to secure work by which they are able to satisfy their wants is one of the best safeguards for democracy.
Mexico Ousts Foreign Companies
With a 20 years' warning unheeded, foreign oil companies are now being edged out of Mexico while volubly protesting in Mexican courts and American newspapers that they have been robbed. They act not unlike the butler who has been robbing the ice box so long that he indignantly goes to court when fired to protest that his rights have been violated.
Cardenas, who is cast as the villian in the oil companies' story and as the hero to Mexican workers, bases his expropriation decrees on Mexico's 20-year-old rewritten constitution that reserved ownership of all subsoil mineral rights to the state. And Mexican courts have decreed that a "just" wage under Mexican law is determined not by comparison with wages of other laborers, but by the ability of the employer to pay.
When the Mexican Federal Labor Board, in settlement of a strike issue, provided fora a collective contract, increased wages, and labor participation in management, the bluffing oil companies held out, though privately admitting they were financially able to meet these obligations. This was the denouncement of the tale that heralded the closing curtain, for the "Mexican government had no alternative but to seize the wells..."
With this decisive termination of foreign domination and exploitation of oil, Mexico is to be congratulated and has proven to be not as foolish as the United States in allowing the enrichment of a few pocketbooks at the expense of a future need.
So Beautiful If ___
At this time of the year the Campus of the University takes on its most beautiful appeal of the year. And on clear days one can look out of a classroom window and see varying shades of green in diminutive fields, hills, and trees all blending together beneath a blue horizon miles away. Irises, iliacs, tulips, and other colorful flowers begin to blossom and shed forth delicate fragrances. Above the
brick-red roofs of the school buildings, fluffs of ethereal white cloud float so lazily.
Women on the walks blossom in pink fuzzy sweaters which give a halo effect and accountate other articles of apparel in pastel shades, whites, and gaudy, more audible colors. Men feature themselves in open neck and cutoff sleeve sport shirts, ranging from plain white to wall paper designs and colors. Seagrreen and orchid cars, notably spring-running model T tourings, sail and truck, up, down, and across the Hill, filled with mottled, mixed, varieties of hillsides and assorted human beings.
Golf clubs begin to crack, tennis balls hum,
and other members of the outdoor ball family
get out and are polished off. The warming
breeze wafts perfumed odors, sounds of soft
music and birds, and memories of other
arings.
So softly beautiful—so dreaming—until we remember term papers are due and finals are on the way.
That steep grade commonly known as Mount Oread has long been a source of complaint for jayhawkers. Climbing the Hill leaves one breathless, tired and unfit for classes. Cars are needed to bring fortune but frail youth up the bank and faithful buses chug away at all hours to supply transportation for the less fortunate ones.
An Example For Jayhawkers
May we then with shame in our hearts take note of the 85-year-old Bostonian Pete Foley, who came in first in a 26-mile marathon over a hilly course from Hopkinton to Boston. Of course he started two hours ahead of the other runners but he finished the race "Not the least bit wined—not a bit. Just a sore toe and a sunburn."
On second thought, let him try our Hill.

Besides the sweeping description just quoted, there are several other details in the 1990 catalog which describe the students' intentions for the student of 72 year later.
'Well-Rounded' Curriculum In First University Catalog
That carefully modest little advertisement appeared in the University's first catalog - in 1866. A wonderful tome of some dozen pages, this little work in that day conveyed most of the information required by the "26" ladies" and "29" gentlemen" listed there as students.

he had a certain, definite background, it is true, but the weight of this four-year plan would give to teachers and subjects a month-full of nightmares.
The first year included—the curriculum was much more "well-rounded" than even this can convey—Cicerio and Livy, Herodotus and Homer, algebra and geometry. That was the first year.
The sophomore year went on with most of these, and included calculus, botany, and Latin comedies and satires. A mere sketch of the junior year shows: Tacitus, Greek tragedies, German or French, English literature, chemistry, physics, astronomy, and geology.
The senior year topped all this off with more German or French, mental and moral philosophy, logic,
constitutional history and law, the-
ology, zoology, and anatomy. There was a so-called "scientific course"
which contained almost exactly the
same line-up.

INTIMACY
There is nothing like the student newspaper for intimacy
It comes home from school with you, or it is waiting at the door to greet you in the morning. It enters your room as a close friend and adviser. In no other medium does Lawrence advertising make an appeal so personal, so intimate, as it does in the DAILY KANSAN, official student newspaper for K.U. students.
