Peace Movements Call for Tact
Peace is a great thing and a worthy cause to support. Peace movements are everywhere prevalent. In planning a peace demonstration leaders of the peace movement at the University are not out of line with similar lines of sentiment which are developing in all universities and colleges.
Care should be taken, however, that by the very nature of the demonstration itself, it does not defeat its purpose.
The ideas behind peace movements are often times far more sound than the tactics which are used to put them over.
Militarists are no more anxious to be blown to bits on a battle field than anyone else, but their sense of loyalty to the nation and to the army of that nation is displayed in a different manner than that of the pacifist.
The army man is taught to love army life. To him it is a profession which tops all others—one for which he is willing to fight and die.
A demonstration which in any manner casts a reflection on the army strikes the core of an army man and he naturally retaliates in defense of the life he loves.
Outbursts against peace movements are not promoted by an itch to go to war, but by a contempt for anyone who has not the gaul to stand out and fight for his nation in case of need.
In promoting peace movements, therefore care should be taken not to arouse sentiment against the prime motive of the demonstration because of the tactics used in putting the idea across.
Man Returns To the Fireside
Today it is possible to convert your radio into a printing press. A simple mechanism now on the market, when attached to your set, can select words and pictures from the air waves and set them down in legible black and white. Orders are already pouring into the factory. Within a few months, according to an article in the Nation, these facsimile sets will be operating in homes throughout the country.
The machine which dominates the field today is simple both in appearance and scientific principle. To broadcast printed material, the device converts type and pictures into electrical impulses. This is accomplished by means of a " scanning light" which moves across the page reflecting back to a photo-electric cell the light and dark qualities of each line. This electric eye, in turn, converts the light and dark values into the impulses which may be transmitted by a radio station through its regular broadcasting equipment.
Outwardly, the facsimile receiving set is a box the size of a table radio. Its mechanism picks up the air signals and by means of a stylus moving across a roll of carbon-backed paper retranslates them into the light and dark lines which form words and pictures. Already the highly developed sets can produce a three-column paper, and easily can be made to print a five column paper of tabloid size. The rate of printing, one linear inch a minute, is slow, but this can be speeded up. Switch on the device when you retire, the manufacturers advocate. Over your morning orange and toast, you can read last minute bulletins and pictures
Shall radio stations have a monopoly on visual as well as oral transmission? Is fasimie merely supplementary to the press? Shall grants be made only to publishers? These and hundreds of other questions come to mind in contemplation of this socially significant invention. Perhaps in their answer rests the future of the press.
The problem of who is to control an invention of such social significance has not been satisfactorily answered. Ultimate control of facsimile transmission will remain with the public, even as the power to regulate oral broadcasting has been left in the dials at its hands. Already eight so-called temporary licenses have been issued to radio stations, the two nearest Lawrence being KSD, St. Louis, and WHO, Des Moines. Stations which have been willing to spend a modest fortune on facsimile experiments, as the Nation points out, will have a strong argument for being permitted to continue visual broadcasting when the service proves successful. Through printed advertisements facsimile broadcasting promises profit for the broadcasting station.
Man in his eternal quest for entertainment and enlightenment will turn again to the fireside—or close by.
In Defense of American Democracy
War is hell—a hell so horrible that ex-service men in an attempt to oblivate from their minds those scenes in which buddies were
blown into bits or driven raining mad by the shock of exploding shells, have utterly refused to give any detailed discussion of the terrifying death that reigned on the battlefield.
No man should be asked to endure such a hell except it be in defense of his own nation.
America is comparatively safe from invasion as long as enterprising foreign militants have no military bases from which to work in the continents of North and South America.
The traditional attitude of the United States toward aggression on the part of any foreign nation in either of the Americas has been evidenced in the past by the Monroe Doctrine.
It is this attitude that the United States should take concerning militaristic activities in the international struggle which exists today. Regardless of whatever influence may be exerted in attempting to alleviate the strife in Europe, military maneuvers of the United States should be involved only in defense of this tradition.
Rearmament measures should be carried on in the light of the force needed to uphold adequately this attitude and defend America against the black scourge which has swept over so much of Europe.
The purpose for which the United States entered the last war—"to make the world safe for democracy"—was an utter failure as evidenced by the advent of authoritarian governments in Europe.
Let's not be fooled again. Our next war, if we have one, should be in defense of democracy in the United States—a defense against invasion by these authoritarian forms of government.
First aid treatment is often the means of saving a life. For this reason motorists are urged to learn the principles of first aid to the injured and carry a kit of medical supplies in the car.

The important thing about water color paintings is the fire of the colors which is caught by the artist as he catches the scene in the heat of emotion. This medium tends to lend itself to outdoor sketching better than any other color medium—after you get the hang of it. Some of the outdoor scenes represented are amazingly natural and catch the eye by their simplicity and harmony of color.
By Virginia Lee Roanb, c'40
In the south gallery of Spanner Thayer museum hangs an exhibition of one of the finest collections of water color paintings of America. This collection, which includes more than merely a series of beautiful paintings, have a deeper significance to artists and chemists. The colors used are those which heretofore have been avoided by artists because they fade so quickly. Reds and blues, the least permanent of all colors, are predominant in this collection. In fact, most centuries of the Chinese have possessed the secret of a permanent water color red and the Persians a permanent blue. But recently modern American chemists have delved into the secrets of permanent water colors. One of the purposes of this exhibition is to show what has been accomplished in the painting of water color paintings are painted in permanent colors—the permanence of which only time will reveal.

New Hampshire Writes Record Of 1774 Battle
Entered as second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan.
Concord, N.H.—(UP) —The Boston Tea Party, Tee Revere's night ride and the "shat heard" round the world" did not mark the beginning of the American Revolution, according to the New Hampshire Guide to History, published by WPA writers who challenge long accepted historical facts.
The Granite state scribes contend the Boston Tea Party, cited by historians as marking the first resistance by war-painted and Indian-occupied colonists to British taxes, as well as a similar episode at Exeter, NH.
In the "mast tree riot of 1734," the book relates, a "group of Exeter colonials dressed as Indians dragged the men" sent by the Crown's surprise attack. In the novel Samuel Gilman's tavern and hustled them out with threats and blows."
New Hampshire colonists again resisted English taxes in 1882, the book contends, when the Royal Governor's marshal returned home empty-handed after being informed by "leading men of Exeter that a 'red-hot spit and scalding water' were ready for him."
Though apparently unable to duplicate or overshadow Paul Revere's notural warning of April 19, 1775, of the approach of the British, the guide book aovers the Battle of Lexington and Concord (Mass.) was not the first armed resistance to Great Britain.
represented—five of them from Kansas. The Kansas artists are Ray Stapp, Margaret Marie Miller (a former student in the University), John Helm, Charles Rogers, and Iryn Smith. Mr. Helm has caught the rhythm and glowing gold of a fold of billowing wheat in his picture “A Kansas Wheatfield.” Mr. Rogers shows himself a loyal Kansas by painting a colorful picture of “Kansas Pastures in the Spring.”
"The first armed resistance in New Hampshire to Great Britain occurred on Dec. 14, 1774, when a small party captured Fort William and Mary in Newenfield, and removed the powder box to Durham," says the guide book.

U. S. Recognizes Hitler's Coup
Washington, April 6—(UP) -The United States government on the twenty-first anniversary of the declaration of war against Germany, today formally recognized the Third Reich's absorption of Austrian and German government, that it must be responsible for Austria $64,000,000 debt.

The state department emphasized that the move constitutes no departure from this government's principle of non-recognition of territory obtained by conquest and that recognition was extended for the "practical purpose" of making necessary diplomatic and consular adjustments.
The Austrian debt includes $24,000,000 this country for past war loans for relief and the remainder is for Austrian state and municipal bonds sold through private channels.

much like work for us to figure out tops, so we didn't even try. It's funny—it's sincerely —it's got a soul if the old troupers will allow us to see as much.
Miss Swarthout and her sister Ruth plan to return to Lawrence in June and spend their summer vacation here.
And here's something else. Behind the scenes are some college students who are eligible and just as clever as those you see on the stage. Jayne Coutes directed the dancing and was there seeing that it went off OJR—Rolla Nuckles was there showing when and where—Fried Floming was behind with his gag or stage hands arranging those swell dresses for the performance Cara Johnson and Kepper and Hawwood, and Denny Lemone and Mary Jane McCoy, and Bantleon and Doris Johnson. And I'll bet the cast and audience are saying the same thing right along with us.
The show was better last night than the first night. And we are going to see it again tonight.

All the Cotney College gals went for the males. They practically made life impossible or something...
