Maybe the Treaties Are Driving Them to It Great concern is being expressed by French and English diplomats over the apparent drift of Rumania and Jugoslavia toward the Rome-Berlin axis. Bucharest's newly formed Goga government has notified Rome of its intention to recognize Italy's conquest of Ethiopia. Reports have for some time been emanating from Bucharest of a drastic nationalistic and anti-Semitic program, which would deprive many of Rumania's 1,200,000 Jews of their livelihood. This would be a serious affront to the Allied signatories, including England, France and the United States, who in the peace treaties of 1919 granted large territorial increases to the above Balkan nations, on the express condition that the rights of racial and religious minorities within those countries, of which there are many, should be absolutely guaranteed. France has recently ordered a virtual embargo on shipments of arms to both Rumania and Jugoslavia because of their growing friendship with Mussolini and Hitler, in spite of Goga's assurance that Rumania wished to hold firm in her old amities. It remains to be seen just how far these countries will travel in the ways of the transgressor. Open disregard by Balkan states for treaty obligations would just about be the crowning blow to the already slighted obligations of 1919 placed upon the vanquished central powers and the heterogeneous races of central Europe. 'Be Not the First . . . . . Nor Yet the Last' Opinions differ. In the recent news were two statements: "The dangers that confront democracy in this country are not of foreign origin. The real dangers are those which come from our failure to adjust our traditional democratic principles to changing economic conditions."—from the declaration of policy of the American Association for Economic Freedom, headed by William Allen White. "The real struggle (in American politics) is between our traditional form of society and government, and, on the other hand, a new conception of society and government which has arisen in Europe."—Mark Sullivan. Reactionaries of all generations have attempted to keep the United States free from "th damned furriener." And always America has had vitality, enthusiasm and strength because the influx of new thought, new ideas, new tongues, new faces and new emotions from Africa, Asia and Europe has kept her that way. In an attempt to evaluate America, Lincoln Steffens in his "Autobiography" declared that perhaps the single virtue which is peculiar to America is her adaptability, the readiness with which she experiments. Moreover, she has not been particular whence the experiments came. She has acted on the principle that an idea is good until it is proved unworkable, and in doing so she has borrowed much from the cultures of the six continents and the seven seas. The United States has in the past borrowed much from Europe, modified it, and made it her own. Often we have lagged behind Europe; in other ways we have forged ahead of her. But we have always been cognizant of Europe, always mindful of her schemes, and always ready to adapt her solutions to our problems if these schemes seem workable. It's Pa Who Pays-For Flunking It's Dad who pays. All students who fail courses at the University of Oklahoma this semester will be required to pay $3 an hour failed before they can re-enroll the next semester. Officials estimated the "flunking fee" would increase the university coffers by about $12,000 this semester. This should matter little, for whom does it affect but Dad? He'll have a dig a little deeper. He pays taxes in order to have a university to send Joe to, pays Joe's fees to help maintain it, and now it is even going to cost him extra because Joe's dumb.

Contributions on any subject are invited. Editor, Daily Kansan; . Between Two Points Maybe it is the "cold snap" which sends students scurrying across the Holy Grass in short-cuts, such as the newly beaten path from the law school to the library, or walking back home after an early rest. But the most likely reason is the most obvious... students are just too lazy to walk the way around on the sidewalks. Another sidewalk from the library to the north end of Fraser would run the distance to the end of the street, looking worse than the path that is fast appearing there. Yours for the Holy Grass, A. J. If I Were a College Girl Every college girl has her points, but she is no longer taken for granted with her "Here-I-am-boycomes-and-get-me" attitude. She has misconceptions. She is sure, when a man stares at her, that he is captivated, when more than likely he is wrong, and when he isn't just that, she is wearing. Official University Bulletin The latter statement would hold true in any age; but, until recently, uttering it would have been outright blasphemy or treason. Now that college girls have taken up employment and breeches, one may presume to subject the dears to some analysis and even a little gentle criticism. Almost every college girl has been in love. Almost every college girl has been dropped sometime by some man and has wondered why, —By a College Boy There is something dear about every girl, if only her gown and lip-stick, but the truth is, the modern c-oed needs more than a beautiful gown and a pair of alfuring lips to keep her man. If the author may be so bold he will give a general discussion of the don't the girls forget in romance, mentality, and conduct. Should Regard Appearance Girls, your appearance! The craze to be in "in style" regardless of what Paris dictates, or what fits your personality, is not conducive to the admiration of the stronger sex. A man takes his romance seriously and doesn't kneel readily to a poor imitation of himself. When the males a-courtin'-go do they want to find it in the company of shingled heads, painted faces, obvious elbows, and terrific knees? They do not. No wonder some men dance with their eyes shut. The cosmetic urge gives them no solace or romance. It is the girl, not a girl, the man is interested in, and usually there isn't another like in her in the world.

Once it was your chiefest charm for men, but now it has become nothing but your clowning glory. You are not even intellectually honest about cutting it off. You say economy or convenience, when everybody knows bets on peanut-sized hat and you, the average girl, your head is too small for that. Foots have designed to sing about the nape of the female neck, once a most alluring feature. But they sing no more, for the female neck is now becoming nothing short of a national calamity. If I were a girl, I would dress to enhance, not to conceal my charms; to distinguish, not to submerge my personality. I'd keep my hair, especially when it's the style to have it cut off, maintain a speaking acquaintance between my skirt and shirt, and use your hands to secure the natural features and not to make it appear as a freshly-painted barn. Remember the Depression Know something about men's interests. Many a girl has been dropped because it had to be explained to her that a pitcher wasn't trying to hit the batter's head with the ball, that the Bronx is not an animal, that he has the highest novel, and that beating a queen is not a social error. The reason: she doesn't paint her face, shingle her hair, and shave her neck because everyone else is doing it. Hair Is Now Clowning Glory Examination Schedule. Jan. 20-27, 1938.

Dick Martin is gaining quite a reputation as a fortune teller around these parts. In a moment of weakness a while back he bought a book telling how to prophesy the future and past. His first try at the thing was so successful that he now has quite a following. ♠ ♠ ♠ Things are not always what they seem You won't find knowledge in every glass.

The western two-gun man has retired to the movies, and the southern plantation has been subdivided. The old sectional distinctions have passed into tradition. Where there was North, South and West, there is now one people. Those old barriers of distance and prejudice have been worn down by many uniting forces: Railroads, radio, automobiles, telephones, newspapers, magazines, Advertising. These are the things that have united America into a nation of neighbors. You have the same automobile as the chap a half-dozen states away. You both eat the same advertised foods, smoke the same tobaccos, enjoy concerts from the air with the same radio sets. You have a lot of things in common. Advertisements give you and your neighbors in all the forty-eight states the same chance to know and obtain new things as soon as they are ready. Through advertisements, you learn of a thousand devices that save you labor, increase your comfort, and help you enjoy life generally. They give you a broad panoramic view of this modern age we live in. Read the advertisements---your neighbors are reading them too.
