TUESDAY, APRIL 19. 1938 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS 1 Comment May the Easter Spirit Remain The Easter vacation is over and we are back in school again for the last lap of the term. We hope that the Easter spirit—the spirit of new energy and life, of rebirth, and of recurrence from deader days—still lingers to help us put forth our best effort. It is easy to become indifferent and say "good enough will do." But the words "good enough" do not spell progress. "Good enough" may become a habit with us so that we are satisfied with anything which will pass. The judgment of "good enough" may easily get lower and lower until what we think is good work really does not represent what we are able to do. "Good enough" will not make for satisfactory educational progress. Only as we are willing to do our best work can we really make progress. Anything requiring no effort does not develop our mental ability. A constant striving for the best and dissatisfaction with "good enough" leads to success. We Choose Our Legal Profession Many words, some abusive, are written and spoken about state and federal courts and about the American legal profession and its practices. Among comparisons demonstrating the expensiveness, slowness, and ineffectiveness of American court systems, English courts, English lawyers, and the swiftness and finality of English justice are often cited. Reviewing one English case does not explode this comparison, but doubts concerning its validity are raised which should be allayed by investigation before whole-hearted acceptance of the comparison as a conclusive argument. Tracing the process of a litigation over the illegal appropriation of a manufacturing process, Maurice E. Fox in Ken magazine relates that the plaintiff employed six skilled men and spent approximately $20,000 over a period of three months. First, the plainiff "consulted his solicitor." Now a solicitor is one to whom you go when you desire to start an action, but he is not allowed to plead in court. Barristers are the gentlemen who wear robes and wigs (besides judges) and who plead in court. Yet, as plaintiff, you are not permitted to consult directly with the barrister, for he acts only for a solicitor. After the plaintiff's solicitor had purchased the opinion of a counsel, who is a specialized barrister, that they "had a case," he employed a senior barrister to conduct the litigation in court. In addition, a junior barrister was employed to aid the senior and whose fee was automatically three-fourths of his superior's Besides a fixed fee paid to both men, a "Refresher" was added: a "refresher" being another fee paid to both barristers for every day the case was in court. And also two expert witnesses were employed. After a period of three months' preparation the case was tried before the judge. But the senior barrister needed help, so he employed another senior counsel for 15 minutes who was an expert in such litigations. Short-hand notes for the judge's guidance were also provided at the expense of the plaintiff. But the plaintiff won and with costs. However, he paid his own solicitor's fees. And then there appeared the "taxing master." He is the official who has the duty of seeing that the other side is not overcharged. He may conclude that lower-priced barristers could have won the case as well. The plaintiff actually received as costs about one-third of what he had spent. Co-Operation For Higher Education Three state universities -Ohio State, Michigan, and Purdue -are carrying on a new cooperative experiment which might prove of significant importance to higher education. Officials of the three institutions are now holding conferences to complete the program which seeks to avoid useless duplication of courses and give students in the three states new educational opportunities and at the same time save the states thousands of dollars. The plan which is being formulated calls for a pooling of the resources of the neighboring universities so that a student living in any one of the three states may take advantage of the specialized equipment and staff of one of the universities. The student takes his basic training at his "home" university where he pays his fees and obtains his degree, then he might spend the two last years in another school where specialized training is offered. Under the new plan, students living in any of the states having this co-operative plan would be exempt from out-of-state fees. To qualify for entrance a student must show proficiency in his field of study. This co-operative plan is only in its experimental stage. There are no results by which it can be tested. But the plan seems to offer great advantages. By agreements the different universities can specialize in certain fields and eliminate the necessity of specializing in many fields. Whereby one university may become outstanding in one or a few fields while another university becomes outstanding in other fields. Such co-operative planning may result in better educational opportunities and more efficient education. Colors Brighten Easter Sunday Tulips, violets, roses, and sunflowers, some in hats and coats, others in pots and yards, were not the only colors brightening Park Avenue. Main street, and Mount Eagle Easter Sunday. Those other colors paraded, pranced, and strutted, while others merely strolled. Men's fashions dazzled. For instance, note the upper part of a body incased in a canary yellow coat, legs scissoring in grass green trousers, and a cravat, its signboard pattern shouting to the world that "here was no introvert." The blues, grays, greens, and pinks of women's fashions basked in the reflections. We suggest it resembled the sun-moon affair somewhat. Now large parts of the brain may be removed without affecting the intelligence, according to a recent report in Science News Letter. In fact, in one case reported, after removal of the left frontal lobe, a patient appeared to relatives as of somewhat better intelligence than before.

University Daily Kansan Official Student Paper of THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS LAWRENCE, KANSAS "Yes, I will tell you the story of the old clock that stood in my place on the physics building long ago. "For many years this clock—my grandfather—hasted the lagging footsteps of students as they reached the top of the Hill. It was an elaborate electric affair with rods and double-geared joints that ran from Prof of Louis Blake's office on the campus. It was said that Professor Blake liked to have this mechanism in his office so that he might watch the wheels go round. However, this agglomeration of wheels, springs, levers, and electrical apparatus was hopelessly complicated and too heavy to work efficiently. Its veracity was frequently questioned. The big time piece was stolen by a prince, and as it grew older its rests became frequent and prolonged. DAVID E.

QUENTIN BROWN Entered as second-class master, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan. "Did you find a wheel missing?" "I refuse to talk." "But, however it was induced, its activity was short lived. It stopped the same day at 12.01." "Why do the pigeons no longer hover about the building as they did in the days of the old clock?" married the reporter. "I have heard whisperings of an ancient feud," chuckled the story teller, "in which the pigeons were worsted. They were accustomed to alight on the hands of the clock when they were weary. Many persons attributed the inconsistencies of the clock to this habit, pointing out that the pigeons would hasten the downward movement and retard the upward movement of the hands. The custodian of the building as a last resort greased the hands of the clock. Afterwards the birds who alight thereon died from their sickness did the same at the gutbble below. Their fate warned other pigeons of the lurking danger. Letter Fabricating "Investigations were opened concerning the reasons for the inaccuracies of the clock, which resulted in the following statement: March 14, 1912 To the Daily Kansas: In response to your valued letter of recent date, requesting in a spirit of teamwork, that the diary synergies of the Physics clock be investigated. I have the honor to report the following: First. The contention of the Entomology department that the chronological abentations of the P.C. (Physics Clock) are due to pigeons roosting on the hands is untenable. Careful computations made during minute experiments show that, when a pigeon or two bill and coo on the hour hand when, say, the P.C. points to three p.m., the action of the time-piece is accelerated. However, it has been found that this variability is met by other pigeons roosting on the hour hand, as say, nine o'clock, thus retarding the flow of time. Discreet Entomology Department So much for the hour hand. Figures tabulated on the minute hand show on the one hand a distinct graduation of time lost while on the other hand it is made up, which goes to show that the moral oblacuary of the P.C. is deeply felt otherwise why its two hands continually before its face? Therefore this office finds: First: evidently has in mind a cuckoo clock. That the Entomology department Trusting that this carries the meaning which we intend, and assuring you we shall be glad to convey that we will be prepared to forward the conservation of time. I am, Sir, yours in the works, Custedian of the Physics Clock. "Wearying of the responsibility for the eccentricities of the clock, the physics department presented the white elephant to the University and the care of it fell to the department of buildings and grounds. This department speedily consigned it to the junk heap and I was bought to replace it. For eighteen years now I have marked the tim e, more efficiently, I trust, than my predecessor." The clock clasped its hands demurely at twelve, indicating that the interview was ended, and ticked on. Read the Kansan Want Ads. We Have Moved!

Phone 686 THE GREAT OPEN SPACES We are headed for the open . . . Open spaces where fresh air and sunshine put roses in our cheeks. Open diplomacy that substitutes frankness for secret scheming and negotiation. Open opportunities, open doors in business . . . And modern business in general conducted in an honest and open manner. No force has been as powerful as advertising, in bringing American business into the open. A manufacturer who advertises, issues an open challenge to every competitor to produce better goods if he can. He invites the public to compare his article with all others. He makes definite claims for his product over his own signature. And he knows the vital importance of keeping his promises. Advertising tells you where you can get the greatest value for your money. When you buy an advertised article, you know it is dependable. An unknown product means nothing. Advertising prohibits the worthless, and promotes the good. Advertisements appearing in the KANSAN are the daily record of business progress, the report to you of the manufacturers and merchants who serve you. It will pay you to read them.
