PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, MARCH 21, 1989 Comment Education For Happy Marriage Comes the announcement that "Love and Marriage" will be the theme of a series of four lectures beginning tonight sponsored by the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A., who believe that "there is a need in the lives of University students for information regarding social relations." Tonight Dr. Margaret L. Dale, who received her M.D. degree from the University in 1933, and is now a well known endocrine specialist in Kansas City, will speak on "Physical Adjustment." Preparation for marriage, according to Jerome Beatty in the American magazine, is the most rapidly spreading subject in the field of education. More than 200 colleges and universities of the 672 in the United States now include such courses in their curricula. After a course had been offered for only two years, Stephens College for women, Columbia, Mo., voted it the most valuable in the college. That secrecy regarding marital facts has promoted neither morality nor happy marriages but simply unblissful ignorance, is the bench mark on which educators build their courses. Their belief is that the way to protect women is to load the men as well as the women with knowledge. And it works the other way, too. To many oldsters who are apt to forget their analogous behavior of 25 years before, the frankness of these courses is both brazen and shocking. The examination paper of a student finishing a course in marriage is likely to discuss freely: "petting", "going steady", "premarital physical examinations, methods of birth control, the honeymoon, the psychology of early sex adjustment, the necessity of mutual satisfaction, and pregnancy—with intelligent sinerity. And according to the teacher of a student with this knowledge, his marriage is destined for success. Already this subject has proved its worth in practice. Husbands and wives who have come out of the classes, lavish their teachers and the courses with praise. Other problems of married life besides sex receive prominent attention. Problems such as money, housekeeping, entertaining, care of the baby, and how to get along with relatives—are awarded accurate analysis. But the subject of marriage as a legitimate part of the college curriculum has been established as a direct result of student demand, in nearly every case, according to Mr. Beatty. Young men and women of this generation believe that the more knowledge they have about sex relationships, finance, and personal adjustments, the better prepared they are to avoid its pitfalls. They have demanded hauling the problem out of secret chambers for straight-forward scientific instruction. The University of Kansas is among the 472 colleges and universities which have not yet begun courses in this vital subject. The Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. organizations have taken the first step. Death begins at 40. If an accident occurs while your car is traveling under 40 miles per hour, there is only one chance in 44 that someone will be killed; but if you are driving over 40 miles per hour, there is one chance in 19 that someone will be killed. Who Are The Next Victims? Railroad crossing crash kills five in family. Thus the headlines tell of the tragic death of nearly a whole family. Mr. and Mrs. Gus H. Debrick of Fontana and their three daughters were killed Tuesday afternoon when a west bound Santa Fe train struck their car on a crossing near Wilder. A fourth daughter, riding in the car, was said to be in critical condition after the accident. This is indeed a tragic disaster. But it is only part of a sad story. Despite the improved traffic fatality record in Kansas for 1937, the accidents at railroad crossings nearly doubled last year. While Kansas was recording a decrease in total fatalities of 14 per cent, we increased railroad crossing accidents by nearly 62 per cent, according to a bulletin sent out by the Kansas Highway Commission. In 1936, 37 Kansans lost their lives at railroad crossings. In 1937 the number increased to 67. With all the grade crossings which have been eliminated and the increased protection provided at others, certainly we should have decreased this unnecessary type of accident. Let's pledge ourselves to Stop, Look, and Listen, for who knows—maybe I or you will be next. Japan Plans Exploitation Japan has worked out a scheme for her economic renovation. She has built up a great structure of industries for which she lacks raw materials. Since the needed raw materials are found in China, Japan wants China to develop and send them to Japan to be manufactured. But since China refuses to acquiesce, Japan is simply used armed force, and that is one of the reasons for the present war. Since Japan is victorious, she is making plans for exploiting the occupied provinces of China. The two companies, The North China Development company and the Central China Promotion company, formed by the Japanese government, will be the instruments through which Japan will pour money and actual investments into the occupied territory. These companies will develop mines, establish flood control, build railroads, and plant cotton to supply the necessary raw materials for the highly specialized industrial system which Japan has built up. The cost of war seems to be a terrible price to pay for the development of a nation's industry. There ought to be better means by which it could be accomplished. In America we have innumerable examples of exploitation of natural resources in foreign countries to supply our home industry with raw materials. The rubber and oil industries are two outstanding examples. American holdings in these two fields alone are so great that if each had been gained through military tactics we would have been almost continually at war. Japan might have gained much more by following the American example of getting raw materials by peaceful means rather than by a war which is very costly to Japan and which, if it continues, may wreck her economic system.

ELLIS ALEX KLAFT HALDMAN-IIULI Radio wasn't anything new to Ronnie, though, that day three years ago when he first became WREN's announcer. He's been around radio stations almost as far back as he can remember. When he was nine years old he entered the Memorial Boy's Choir in Kansas City, Mo, his home town. He sang as a boy soprano in that organization over WOQ (a religion station no longer on the air) and KLDS (now KMBC). A little later he had a program of his own on WOQ. Occasionally he sang solos over WDAF. 1934 Was a Big Year Distributor of Collegiate Digest 1937 Member 1938 Associated Collegiate Press Nineteen thirty-four was a big year for Romnie at WLFB. He sang as a secular soloist with Eugene Christy and branched out to radio dramatics. Romnie had many parts in the previews of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer show which were broadcast for the Midland theater. In the preview of "Cindrial Richelet" he had the title role. On a regular Sunday performance, he played piano in a trio whose other members played cello and flute. The next year he won the Joseph Wilkina voice scholarship at the University of Kansas. On Nov. 3, he no longer as beon as announcer at WKEEN. BUSINESS MANAGER F. QUENTIN BROWN National Advertising Service, Inc. College Publishing Representative 240 MAIDEN RD. NEW YORK, N.Y. CHICAGO CITY BANSFORD LOS ANGELES PORTLAND OLYMPIA Entered at second-class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kane. In the fall of 1936 Romie broadcast his first football game. After that so many favorable comments came in that he broadcast all the rect of the home games and other events on the Hill. Such work is the most difficult an announcer can attempt. He must talk all the time and think ahead of his talk. Romie learned all the names and numbers Ronnie handled the "ad lib" broadcasts with such success that a little before Christmas in 1936 he was given a regular sports broadcast on weekdays at 6:45. Last spring when daylight saving time came into effect it was changed to 9 o'clock. Ronnie also assists Verle Bratton, the chief announcer, with the news flashes at 6:30. Besides these programs he makes the regular station announcements from 4 c'clock until midnight on week days. This winter Romnie broadcast the home basketball games, and went to Nebraska for the Oklahoma game. Bonnie's interests are by no means one-sided. He doesn't just talk about sports; he participates. He has been twice runner-up in the Greater Kansas City tennis championships and went out for wrestling at the University. He was on the University billard team when it took fifth position among the United States colleges. Ronnie is now 22 years old. He hopes that he will be able to continue his singing after he graduates, but he cannot hear that he sings, "Just so I can holler."
