ALittle Story With a Big Moral
Yesterday's Kansan related of three more burglaries which occurred on the Hill recently.
Last Wednesday night the Phi Delta Theta house was entered and $35 in cash and $55 in property were stolen; on Sunday night, $27 in cash was taken from the Sigma Chi house, while two students living in a private home suffered the theft of four suits, a pair of trousers and a radio.
In each story there is a point in common, namely, that entry was gained through an unlocked door. Which leads us to the moral: "Keep your doors and windows locked at night and when you leave your house."
Our Bird of Peace---
Is It Dove or Hawk?
Conduct of the state department toward the Japanese empire throughout the present Far Eastern war has led America already perilously close to a diplomatic break with the Niponese government and even to the brink of war.
Cordell Hull in 1933 may have taught the Pan-American peace dove to coo, but high-toned notes which his* department has sent to Tokio and the profuse and repeated apologies which he has demanded since last July have gone far toward embroiling the United Sates in the war. That America yet finds herself in the role of a non-participant in the Sino-Japanese conflict is no fault of the state department.
Since the sinking of the Panay last December there has been nothing conciliatory in the notes which Secretary Hull and President Roosevelt have sent to the Emperor and his Foreign Minister Hirota.
The Panay incident is the first case in point. Hull repeatedly refused to accept the profuse expressions of regret tendered not only to the state department in Washington but to American citizens throughout Japan. He twice refused to accept the word of Japanese officials that the attack was not premeditated, preferring to accept the apparently prejudiced report of an American naval committee of investigation.
Next, following the Panay incident, Hull quite obstinately has refused to withdraw American naval and merchant vessels which now are offering so-called protection to a mere handful of Americans and to investments worth less than one-third the fleet which patrols them.
In the third place, when John M. Allison, American diplomatic representative in Nanking, who had no "inallienable" right to be where he was, was slapped by a Japanese sentry, Hull demanded an apology. After Japanese state officials had bent themselves double licking his boots, Hull maintained that the apology was not satisfactory and demanded a new one.
Lastly, the joint demands of the United States, Britain, and France for disclosure of Japanese naval-building aims represents an unwarranted aggression by these powers upon the sovereignty of a people. Japan is no longer a signatory to the Washington naval limitation treaty since her withdrawal from the London conference in 1936, and hence no longer bound to disclose her intentions for a "second-to-none" navy.
We pray, therefore, for the continuance of the Japanese conciliatory attitude which so far has humored the small boy who keeps writing uncomplimentary fan mail and making unreasonable demands. The United States has gone to war before over no more than a slap in an attache's face or a refusal to answer one of Secretary Hull's notes.
Campus Opinion
I Knew You When—
Kansan:
Editor, Daily Kansan:
(An open letter to "Preparedness")
Dear "Preparedness";
Ever since I left the old District 12 school I've remembered you, and the instant I saw your letter in Friday's "Campus Opinion" I knew you must have seen the little girl with the knobbly knees or the little boy with the freckles, though your final prayer for someone to make the opposition shut up inclines me to the form opinion. But shaky as I am on your biological one, that I can place your mentality on the very first try.
If you are the little girl, then you're the one I bumped when I lived, and the one who told me to quit pushing, who gave me a hair a yank that lowered my heart. If you were the woman, who would show me a thing or two about manners.
If you are the little boy, then you'll remember when I stepped accidentally on your marble and you sided up to me with your jaw stuck out and it tickled. You jumped and ran off, and when I stood there frozen with surprise you sucked me in the eye, and we mixed it all over the table, and of damage to our persons, clothing, and dispositions.
I recognize you, dear "Preparedness." How could I miss? "You're still the same valiant little personality, ready to pull hair or kick it with a toothbrush or listen to. And what more, you've brought the old grade school to college with you. You're still at your whitited desk, torturing us to learn about the complicated voices of Teacher advises the class to know the Pledge of Allegiance by tomorrow. You're still reading your "Current Events" and watching history unfold before you in Chinese ruses, wishing to hell they were home, and with no love for the Japanese
who made the ruins. You're still yelling to the gang to come on and kick the stuffing out of those other guys, but you're not going to do that.
Oh, my dear "Preparedness!" Aren't you being just a little emotionally undressed? You don't think some of us might be just a little embarrassed by your care for our safety and comfort, good to live in ones homeland, to feel a deep and lasting affection for it, to die for it if need be. These are verities as old as man, truths recognized so widely that they scarcely need teaching, and all this prattling is done by the youngest. If they then all right, is poor instruction in any case, "Preparedness," if you're in favor of a bigger navy, why can't you wait and pay your taxes quietly without doing a spring dance about it? If you want to spread your immortal guts over foreign soil to fertilize it, you can do that with no delay and then do so, but don't come around wanting to show us your impending operation. Please don't.

This exhibit consists of a series of pictures illustrating the development of architecture in Germany. An immense wealth of great monuments of architecture from all periods of twenty centuries is found throughout the museum, and the limited space in the museum, only a part of the pictures are shown.
Art loving Germany in the medieval period made all things beautiful, even balconies and little back doors. The finest existing specimen of late Gothic timber architecture is the medieval high-gabled Butcher's Guild Hall on Market Square in Hildesheim. It has five gables all beautifully carved. Next to the gables is a gallery hall with a picture offering direct contrast—a crude cabin built upon stilts in the water of Lake Constance depicting architecture of a primitive culture of 10,000 years ago.
By Virginia Le Roach, c'40
Lovers of art have for their enjoyment this week, one of the finest collections of medieval and modern German architecture in America, which is being displayed on the second floor of Spooner-Thayer museum.
Pictures of Gothic buildings still preserved in their original splendor reveal massive cathedral-like structures with towers, arches, and carved figures decorating the walls both in and outside. A picture of the hall and balustrade of the Palace of Wuerzburg shows the marvelous

Lists Study Hints
For Lazy Students
Boston, Mass, Feb. 8.—(ACP) A list of study hints for students who are tired of feverish rushing through belated assignments has been prepared by Prof. Warren T. Powell, head of the department of student counseling at Boston University.
1. Work under pressure; set a deadline inside of which work must be accomplished.
They include:
Entered as second-class master, September 17, 1910, at the pos- office at Laveran, Kane.
2. Make yourself rise above petty distractions; when they come, accept them, then go back to your studying without losing your stride.
3. Assume that you are liable for an account of all that you are study-ing.
6. Feel an interest in your improvement.
4. Maintain an alert questioning attitude and criticize all that you read.
5. Develop habits of positive attack on your studies. Interest seldom comes before effort is made in that subject.
7. Avoid and control emotional disturbances and fatigue.
8. Plan proper length and distribution of study periods, one to two hour units for easy or varied work; and 30 minutes with two or three minute rest periods in between for unfamiliar or difficult work.
The modern Germany still preserves these old Gothic structures, but the buildings which are now predominant in the streets of the German cities are of a much different type. Instead of towering, complex architecture, they are built in simple, sollen lines. The court of a modern housing development in Berlin was built for sunshine and has wading places for children. The material used for the buildings is mainly brick.
