Comment
Press Box Needs Better Communication
The ever increasing popularity of the University of Kansas Relays might well warrant an improvement in the facilities for communication between the field of action and the press box.
At present those facilities are badly in need of repair or replacement. It is a difficult and tedious job to relay efficiently the necessary information from the track to the press box under the existing conditions.
The favorable publicity that is given on such occasions by the press is undoubtedly an advantage to the University.
Such publicity merits any consideration that may be necessary to supply the press box with its desired information.

Our Youth May Speak
Los Angeles Collegian;
It is the consensus of educators' and political leaders' opinion, that youth is exceedingly plastic. It can be molded into hating and fearing and loving and knowing and not knowing.
In Europe, youth is being educated for the fatherland; for prospective cannon-fodder that will eldvy die for a cause—navy cause.
In America the picture is not so dark. In this nation are youth movements that are initiated by youth and sponsored solely by and for youth. In a way, some of them are opposed to the government; in them is an element of defiance of the "spirit of patriotism"; they are intrinsically different from European youth movements.
They talk of peace, they encourage a form of individualism that would make itself evident in time of war. They speak a language that would cause them to be snuffed out in a minute were they in any European country.
The practicability of youth movements for peace, for better educational facilities, for clean policies, for tolerance, is subordinate to the fact that they do and can exist in this country.
Money Needed For Character Building
Make it possible for the boys to join the Boy Scoots and crime will be greatly reduced, is the plea of Judge William G. Long of the Juvenile Court to the citizens of Seattle.
The personnel and facilities for caring for 3,000 boys who were eligible and ready to join the scouts were lacking because of no available funds. The number of scouts in the Seattle area has doubled in the last 10 years, yet they are operating on the same budget as they did in 1928. On the other hand, the city has thousands of dollars to spend for crime detection.
"The community has been able to expand its facilities for the apprehension and detention of criminals to keep pace with the increase of crime," Judge Long is quoted in the Christian Science Monitor. "The budget of the sheriff's office and the county jail has been increased over 45 per cent in ten years. It would seem reasonable to conclude that a community that can afford an increase of over 45 per cent in the handling of crime after it has happened, surely can afford to expand its program for the prevention of crime."
If we expect our boys to develop into noble characters, we must provide the environment and opportunity for them to grow and develop both mentally and physically. Money spent for this purpose is money well spent.

Good Will— Armament Reducer
Great Britain's "defense expenditures" are mounting.
England has found it necessary to increase her income tax from 25 per cent to $27\frac{1}{2}$ per cent in order to meet the expenditures of the rearmament program, according to a speech made by Sir John Simon, chancellor of the exchequer, before the house of commons.
What can be done to reduce these heavy taxes? Sir John said, "Nothing could contribute so much to the ultimate reduction of the burden of taxation as an increase in international good will and reduction of armaments."
Campus Opinion

Unpuzzling Mr. Cakewalker
Editor, Daily Kansan:
A Senior Cakewalker weared in the Kansan yester-day at some length. At this writing we will not cast any doubt that he is a speeded up civilization in which man cannot find time to interview the participants and thus cannot understand the basic facts in a problem. Instead he must merely generalize from part of the facts which have been presented, in this way.
Not taking the time to analyze all of the more minute failings in the argument of a Senior Cakewalker, we will confine ourselves to the more glaring deficiencies that may be present. If the choice bit about the orchestra he signed up, but Kihm seems to be satisfied by anything that is available. If our Cakewalker had read an article about how a student's performance would recall that at that time Kihm had included in a report to the M.S.C. the statement that on repeated occasions he had attempted to convince the business office that the student body was in compliance with approval of the student body and would, with an increased admission vice, bring greater profit. The officials in the business office, then, not Kihm, are to believe that the student body should rehire. The business office, on the other hand, has a good argument for their point of view. If a higher admission price were charged a number of students who did not know the correct point of view would see the more democratic one.
Again: "A question which had puzzled me all year is why can we have good class parties one year and not a bad class party the next year, and that we don't have the same dance manager this year as we did last season. At all we are permitted to enlist a tutor, so we don't have to be puzzling him all year, and which he has evidently been unable to answer for himself because of his lack of experience."
The reason rests in what we might call the vagaries of fate, or just plain luck. In the first place, the students will be taught about the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, the University cannot set the date for so-called "name" bands to be available for a class party. The dance manager then sends these groups a limited amount of money to bring the band to the Campus, and (2) he must make his selection from the comparatively few bands which may be available on campus. We have to know the beginning of the year. (The numbers are $n$ clued here that Cakewaker's puzzle may be made more clear for him, without his having to take time out to submit it to his logic professor for analysis.)
We agree with Mr. Cakewalker that Meek! made poor showing. All of the bands this year have not what we don't agree with is Mr. Cakewalker's goners. We agree that Meek! has a difference in the quality of the bands.
Fact Sleuth.

W. W. Weir, a faculty member of the American Academy at Larnaca, Cyprus, recently mailed to Dr. A. H. Turrell of the School of Education copies of the "Embros," a Cyprus English daily, a little four-page newspaper resembling closely many of our Kansas weeklies.
One of the most prominent advertisements in the Feb. 18 issue of the "Embro" presents the lures of Marlene Dietrich and of Gary Cooper to the Cyprian audience. Set up in much the same form as American actress Kristen Stewart, they will stop stealing when you see the screen's matless laughness of glamour—Marlene Dietrich—More Desperate—More Dangerous—More Alluring than the Underworld—in the arms of Gary Cooper—in 'Desire' (Talking in English) at the Papadopoulos Cinema."
Former Student Sends Newspapers From Cyprus
JUSINESS MANAGER...F. QUENTIN BROWN
Then, you turn the pages of the Feb. 17 issue, and in a not at all insignificant spot, read: "Ladies! Miss N. DeVore, American Beauty Specialist, Diplomate of Hollywood, now in Cyprus, will give Beauty Treatment and Advice by Appointment to the Artist Site (Crest Hotel), Nicota. Special facial massage by the Hollywood method."
The front page of the "Embrom"
is more Cyprian, dealing extensively
with political conditions in and
around the territory.

Each of the four issues received by Doctor Turner carry a front-page column of news dealing exclusively with the royal family. The material is called "Social and Performative" and is read in Parts of the Feb. 18 column reads:
Entered as second-class master, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan.
"H. R. H. The Princess Royal, accompanied by Lady Palmer and Mrs. Lloyd-Carson, visited Lefkara to-day, where she saw the lace workers at their work and an exhibition of their work.
"Afterwards her Royal Highness had a picnic lunch in the woods above Lefkara."
Princess Visits Blind Boys
The Feb. 20 issue has a "big story regarding the visit of the Princess Royal—on Feb. 18—to the St. Barnabas School for blind boys. The headline—"Her Royal Highness Visits Blind School"—starts the American reader. In seems to expect expatriate R.D. V. Visits Warm Springs, Ga."
Another prominent item on the front page of the Feb. 20 "Embros," called "Chance of Name." read;
-Leyla Vapa.
"I the undersigned Leyla Vapa, formerly named Skäldra Leontina Vapa, of Riga, Letone, now a resident of Nicosia to hereby declare that I abandoned my names Skäldra and Nicola, and have adopted the name Leyla Vapa, and that henceforth my full name will be Leyla Vapa for all purposes."
A front page story—for Feb. 18—which would be unique in American newspapers, is called "Thanks." It appears in italics, as does about 50 per cent of the "Embros" news, as follows:
"I wish to express also through the press my best thanks to all the Doctors and the other stuff of the Limassol District Hospital, who during my illness looked after me in the best way possible.

New York City, April 26 — (UP) — Promoter Mike Jacobs today announced Yankee stadium, New York, as the site for the billion-dollar ESPN broadcasting deal. 22, after yielding to pressure from the state boxing commission and
owners of the stadium and polo grounds.
Jacobs said the bout would be held at the stadium "unless developments unforeseen at this time arise to precipitate a shift in the site." This "out" was inserted to protect the match from a possible anti-Nazi boycott.

Where To Buy
There is nothing like the newspaper for proclaiming the place of purchase.
The reader of a newspaper advertisement can go directly to the place where the article advertised is on sale. To advertise where the goods are, to have goods where the advertising is, constitutes the best merchandising.
The Daily Kansan is the advertiser's best medium in Lawrence—It goes into 75% of the homes in the student district; contacts over 4500 students, 250 faculty members, and a host of University friends, employees, and alumni.
