PAGE TWO UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 17, 1938 Comment You're Wrong If You Think-really leaned towards chemical engineering, he believes that his business course will be more easily remembered in case he should follow the It can happen here! In fact, it has. Of the 789 students to receive the Wassermann test at the University, two have revealed a positive (4-plus) reaction. This by itself, in the words of Dr. Canuteson, "justifies the expense of installing equipment for the test," for by this revelation two young persons have been made aware of a malignant evil—of which they had been completely ignorant—and which, unchecked, might have wreaked their whole lives. Now, thanks to the Wassermann test, that evil will be removed from their lives, and no one shall ever know of it. The University has every right to be proud of its Wassermann tests. The percentage of positive reaction is extremely low—about 25 per cent—and compares favorably with those of other schools. The University of Minnesota, for example, revealed a similar percentage, while that of Missouri University was slightly higher. However, only 780 students have had the test to date. Have you had your yours? To be sure, you think you have no infection, and probably you are right. But remember this: Two other students (we don't and shan't know who they are) thought the same thing. Furthermore, we are proud that we are among the first schools to establish the Wassermann test though Iowa, for example, has had it since 1924. And now—two short months after its inception—we feel we are reaping rich benefits. They were wrong! Can you be sure? Come All Ye Interested To those students who are truly interested in the great war being waged against venereal diseases, the appearances of Dr. J. E. Moore on the Campus tonight, is a matter of grave importance. This is not a matter of ballyhoo, If you are not interested your presence will add little to the program. But the speaker is a noted authority in the study of syphilis and we are to hear him only by virtue of the fact that he is scheduled to speak before the Kansas City Academy of Medicine on the evening following his appearance here, and that he is a personal friend and former classmate of Dr. N. P. Sherwood. There is the old saying about leading "a horse to water". However, the horse may be excused if he doesn't drink—he cannot read his paper. It Might Bite--- If It Had Some Teeth Roosevelt's demand for an 800-million dollar navy was supplied by his plea for enactment of the Hill-Sheppard so-called "Industrial Mobilization" plan. Last year the American Legion, meeting in New York, approved this program "to constrict money as well as men in the next war." But the Hill-Sheppard bill perpetuates all the infringements on personal freedom which governments have used in the past without fulfilling its specific purpose—to take the profits out of war. Conscription of women and child labor for industry, the court martial of any laborer who "fails or neglects to perform fully any duty required of him," and control of the press to furnish only "such information as it is right and proper that the public should have" are among the features of the bill-infringements which were successfully practiced by our government in the last war. The bill's excuse for existence is the 95 per cent tax on "all incomes above the previous three-year average with adjustment for capital expenditures". This provision, the bill's proponents allege, would take profits out of久 Power to determine those "adjustments for capital expenditures"—a figure which might easily be inflated—lies in the hands of industrial leaders themselves. Labor, under the bill, finds itself in the grip of industry without representation on any board or commission. As Texas' Mauray Mauverick says, "The bill does not ablist war profits—it guarantees them." The Hill-Sheppard bill perpetuates the violations of personal liberty by government in time of conflict and at the same time allows war to remain economically profitable for a few individuals. But the average profit of a firm for the three years preceding America's entrance into war will be far in excess of normal profits. For every war is preceded by an arms race that inflates the profits of any munitions maker, and American entrance will probably be preceded by a period of hostilities elsewhere which will have contributed mightily to war-makers' profits. Until the bill is amended truly to remove profits from war it remains a farce—worse than ineffective in that it purports to do a thing for which it is quite inadequate. A Good Plan But---- WS.G.A. Objects Students with 3:30 and 4:30 classes will be doubly unfortunate if the W.G.S.C. petition is accepted instead of the M.S.C.'s day of "grace" for having classes at those hours for a semester is bad enough without being subjected to first day examinations in them in final week. Every enrollment day sees a rush for morning classes. If the W.S.G.A. petition goes into effect, only those 3:30 and 4:30 courses which are required and which are offered at no other time would attract students. Since these are mainly science courses the burden would be placed on a special group. Any step taken should be a general one benefitting all students. The petition of M.S.C. for a day of "grace" between the last class and the first day of examination week is such a movement. The extra day makes no appreciable difference in the length of the semester but it means a much-needed interlude of rest and study for the over-worked student who has just finished catching up on long-delayed assignments at the semester's end. W. S.G.A. offers no good argument for not supporting the M.S.C. on this question. This is a matter which requires the co-operation of every student and especially that of a group representing a large portion of the student body.

More than a thousand boisterous students had crowded into one of the seating theatres, wired-crusted and housed one perfectly good feature, and hooted at several better-than-average dancers. It was a bad spot for a young performer.

The crowd was amused at first, but as young George Lupfer began to do more and more difficult tricks, the students quieted down in an almost amazed silence. It was a real tribute to a young man who has, by hard work, become expert enough to pass up drills that most players must use as too intricate. One of his tricks, that of juggling five Indian clubs at one time, is a world's record and is done by only one other juggler in the country.

His earnings during the summer finance him during the winter, and he's good enough that he could make a very good living without bothering with a higher education.

REFERENCE FOR NATIONAL ADVERTISING BY National Advertising Service, Inc. Publicity Publishers Representative 420 MONTANA STREET N.Y. CHICAGO • BOSTON • SF MAJOR CITY Entered as second class matter, September 17, 1910, at the post office at Lawrence, Kan. Now 18, the Larned, Kan., boy looks back to five years of exacting practice and modestly gives much of the credit for his development to his teacher, Stanley Nickerson, a retired actor who runs a dramatic school in his home town. One day Nickerson learned to grind trick as a means of doing away with nerveness in the hands. George mastered the trick so easily that the veteran showman became interested. Being a well known juggler himself in early days, Nickerson began to give his protem more and more difficult tasks until the pupil began to surprise the teacher, But juggling isn't all play and no work. For five years now George has been practicing two and three hours a day, and his studies at the University don't keep him from putting in his daily workout in the gym. His first public performance came three years after he began practicing the guitar. His expansive home town, and the act went over so well that his appearance was in demand at all the entertainments in that part of the country. One of George's nearest tricks is his three-plate act. When he gets going he places a plate on his head with his left hand, jars it off back of the plate and brings them back with his right hand, flips it back into the air, catches it with his This trick is one of the most pleasing to the crowd, but George says the most fatiguing is the rather simple-appearing cigar-box trick, which W. C. Fields made famous. Three boxes are interchanged in this trick so as to make it appear that the middle box is suspended in mid-air. left hand and places it back on his head again. When you can keep three plates in rotation you can be sure you're in for a busy evening. Some day I'm going to take my B.B. gun and shoot the H--- out Of that d--- street light! Juggling Comes Handy at Meais Fellow boarders at the club where George eats have just one complaint to make about their talented tablemate. It seems he has a ravenous appetite, and his juggling ability makes it easy for him to spear potatoes and flip them from his fork to his knife, where he balances them before putting them on his plate. In this way they feel that he takes unfair advantage of them and gets more than his share. And in a college boarding club you'll find that every split second counts! If you happen to be walking along the Campus and a toy car passes you, don't get the galloping jitters. It is only an engineering student doing a little advertising for the Hop. Maybe it's the hard work that gives him his appetite. Anyway, this plus rhythm and timing and a pleasing personality should shove this young Kansei far up the vaudeville ladder if that's the way he chooses to go up. Anyway, juggling has always been his life, and a pastime which he wouldn't trade for any business course in the world. Haywire-- Busby's friends say that he sits so close at the movies that they look like a screen door. University of Texas men voted "no" on the question whether they would go to war under the same conditions as in 1617. The vote was 61.3 per cent negative.

We hadn't heard about it or we wouldn't have gotten that prompter's seat in "Q" row. HANNA'S 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.
