Apprenticeship--
Who Will Serve Next?
Once again the University of Kansas has proved to be a place where promising young coaches serve their apprenticeship. It is with great reluctance that we see Glenn Presnell snapped up before he proves any greater threat in developing a Kansas backfield capable of mastering the Nebraska Huskers.
Presnell leaves for Nebraska under offers of a substantial increase in income with the added advantage of opportunity for more rapid advancement presented by a school which is and has long been in the nation's football lime-light.
Undoubtedly one of the factors in the improvement of football at the University last fall was the added spark of a good backfield—a fact for which Presnell must be given much credit. In view of this, it is regrettable that he should leave at this time, especially when backfield material the most promising it has been in several years. Glenn Presnell is well liked by players, students, and coaches and it will be a difficult matter to replace him.
It seems a better contract might have been offered. The University has lost promising coaching-talent in the past to other schools who would pay more. It will be remembered that Larry (Moon) Mullins was once on the staff here as were Lynn Waldorf and others who have made their names as coaches.
Another apprentice makes good. Who will be next?
Students May Become More Efficient Readers
"The greatest cause of failure among freshmen in college is inability to read effectively," according to a statement by Bert A. Nash, professor of education, last year to the freshmen. Now the School of Education, in co-operation with the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, under the direction of Professor Nash will undertake an extensive program for improving reading ability among the University students.
Professor Nash has requested all students who realize they are not reading as effectively as they should to talk with him and join the experimental class. He hopes to have 100 students enrolled in the reading clinic.
In most cases speed of reading is closely correlated with comprehension. Many students who are deficient in comprehension are slow readers. In order to comprehend, a student should be able to read at least 120 words per minute. Of course, different kinds of reading material require a varying rate of reading. But a student should be able to average at least 250 words per minute on textbook materials of average difficulty.
This reading clinic offers to all students an excellent opportunity to make their reading more effective and at the same time increase their reading speed. Practically any college student, or graduate student, can learn to increase his reading rate from 50 per cent to more than 100 per cent by consciously trying, and with no loss of understanding.
In Italy--
God's Rival
According to a recent press dispatch, it was officially decreed by the secretary general of the Fascist party in Italy that the following prayer be offered by Italian school children just preceding their noon day meal:
The dispatch did not say whether or not the children of Italy are allowed to pray to God also,
"II Duce, I thank you for what you give me to make me grow healthy and strong. O Lord God, protect II Duce so that he may be long preserved to Fascist Italy."
Firestone Dies; Leaves Ford the Last of Three
There remains today only one of America's "the three" in industry.
There was a time when the three magnates were as chummy as three high school girls. Newspapers carried photographs of them together at play and at work. They represented the most powerful leaders in three of America's greatest industries and the fact that they were business associates added a great deal of color to their well-known friendship.
The death yesterday in Miami Beach, Fl., of Harvey Firestone, 69, pioneer tire and rubber manufacturer, leaves only Henry Ford of the once powerful industrial triumvirate, Ford, Firestone and Edison.
When Thomas Edison died in 1930, Ford and Firestone continued their personal and business relations. Both were consistently opposed to phases of the New Deal, particularly the NRA. Ford successfully refused to join President Roosevelt's industrial recovery program, maintaining that he already more than met the regulations of the NRA while Firestone asserted in September 1934 that the NRA "helped no one" and that "you can't legislate prosperity."
In Firestone's death, America loses one of her great business leaders. A conservative and yet a prophetic industrialist, Firestone was a pioneer manufacturer and an important figure in America. He organized the company which bears his name in 1900 and since 1932 had been chairman of its board of directors.
He was instrumental in investigating and promoting rubber growing possibilities in the Philippine Islands and South America and always encouraged investment of American capital in rubber growing countries.

College Women Becoming Less Chaste Than Men?
New York, Feb. 7 - The female o,

H. Perry; gynecologist of the New
York University Medical Center,
coming less chaste than the male.
Doctor Parry, making his conclusions from 10 years of observation, told a conference of social hygienists recently that his researches proved that chastity among men is growing, and among women declining.
(By The United Press)
The reason for this, he said, is that women, particularly in colleges, are engaging in emotional experiments, which men are playing football and basketball.
"Young college men are tending to " become more confident," he said. "Among college women it is a well-recognized fact that sexual confidence is the exception rather than the rule."
"Women have been so restricted in the past," he said, "that with the new social freedom they are tending toward new experimentation." He added that while there were studies in sex problems such as birth control, his own study on this education is not broad enough, and entirely too short of the completely rounded course exhazing the possibility of emotional entan-
Doctor Parry said the emotional entanglements of women are one of the most important problems of the "new freedom."
At the last meeting of the FomMedics, an organization for women who intend to enter the School of Medicine, the following officers were chosen: president, Anita Entz, m'41; vice-president, Martha Pimeo, c'm39; treasurer, Virginia Dotter, gr; and secretary, Dorothy Curry, c'mul.
Miss Mary E. Larsen of the department of zoology was elected sponsor of the organization.

These business conferences that the President has been having are getting us all mixed up. After much reading, we believe that we have the answer. Big business is what the little businesses haven't, and little business is what the big businesses have.

This new ruling making seniors take a test in English may have to be expanded to take in reading if the seniors here are as gullible as Syracuse University ones are. Up there a petition was passed around which beginning like a proposal to elimination of seniors but ended up with a promise to serve five years in a chain gang, 115 seniors signed.

One of our classes discussed the meaning of words yesterday. No satisfactory meaning for the word democracy was given but this one that we heard means a lot to some people: Democracy is a government of the people, by the radicals, and for the rich.

Need Well-Rounded Education
The result, he said, is a tendency in women to lose the fear of experimentation; a more completely rounded education in the field of sex relations would include a study of the dangers of the emotional as well as physical phases.
glements as a result of sexual experience."
Doctor Parry placed the typical sex-career of a college woman as follows: "In the first year home influence still prevails. In the second year girls begin observing and growing more interested. Sexual experience is most likely to begin in the junior year."
Need Well-Rounded Education
He also emphasized that alcheol lays an important part, particularly t vacation time, when girls return from school to school. Girls drink and give in to temptations.
