Comment
A Contrast In Newspaper Ideals
Above an old, rusty garbage can around which were swarming broods of flies hung pots and pans. The cook admitted that this corner of a "model" kitchen was in daily use, and that under such conditions food was prepared for hundreds of students on the University of Texas campus.
The Daily Texan, student publication of the University of Texas, printed pictures of similar kitchens in other campus cafes, drug stores and eating houses near the Texas campus. Above all was the caption, "How'll you have your filth?"
Soon after, the state health inspector arrived, and found only one establishment that rated 100 per cent on sanitation. His report stated that conditions were deplorable, and gave offending eating houses one day to clean up or face court proceedings.
It is deplorable that newspaper efforts are not more often turned into such constructive channels. When a truly bad situation exists, a newspaper has an obligation to expose it and to correct it. The Kansan salutes the Daily Texan for its fine work.
Tonight at 7 o'clock, the first of a series of meetings, lectures and discussions on the general subject of photography will be held in the Journalism building. This meeting and the general program it will launch are the direct result of sentiment existing among both students and instructors to the effect that the University, if it is to keep pace with current developments in the many professions it teaches, must give photography a place in its curriculum.
Request Performance
Pettitions circulated among students in the departments of geology and journalism, calling for courses in photography adapted to their major subjects, have drawn many signers. Interested persons in the department of design will soon start the circulation of a similar petition, recognizing the usefulness of photography in practical design.
There are few professions in which the science of pictures cannot be put to valuable use. Students and progressive instructors in all departments realize this fact. The meeting tonight represents one of the first tangible efforts here to fill a vital educational need.
Your attendance will hasten the inevitable addition of a photography course in the University.
Running True to Form
The announcement by the Duke of Windsor that he and his wife are planning a tour of America to inspect "industrial organization, stock yards, and housing conditions of the workers," as well as to interview such notables as John L. Lewis and William Green, may be a hint to the true cause of his abdication.
At the time of the British constitutional crisis one theory which was advanced postulated that the British cabinet was displeased with Edward VIII, not because of his marriage to a divorced woman, but because he was interested and active in social problems. His trips to Wales to inspect working conditions in mines caused vibrations throughout the British Empire; his activity and comment caused high government officials to fear that some day he might forget the doolity which befits the figurehead of so great an empire. To the British ruling classes he was a rather troublesome bounder always drawing attention to the sore spots of society.
If Edward's marriage was merely an excuse to dispose of England's first socially minded king, then those powers which rule England must be complimented for one thing: They realized the true tenor of Edward's honest frankness and indomitable character.
Do
And Die
Coupled with his remark: "War is a contagion, whether it be declared or undeclared," the gravity of the situation emerges. Before the World war this nation lived behind the fog of the pleasant but all too vulnerable belief that we could "continue peacefully and tranquilly"
"If those things (warfare and destruction) come to pass in other parts of the world, let no one imagine that America will escape, that it may expect mercy, that this western hemisphere will not be attacked and that it will continue peacefully and tranquility to carry on the arts and ethics of civilization." Thus the President of the Unified States analyzed the world situation in its relation to this country in a recent speech.
while nations warred around us.
The President's statement pierces the fog and reveals an unhappy picture. The contagion already has a foothold. As it spreads, we cannot sit back and do nothing without being involved.
Today we live in the same fog.
What, then?
The President recommends the recognition of the fact that national morality is as vital as private morality. But the nation that would teach this lesson to the power-hungry nations of the world is not unlike the first missionary among savages. Perhaps it could be done . . . missionaries have done it, but other missionaries have been consumed.
Intelligent Indigent Insurance
Governor Huxman has announced that he is in favor of revising the state Old-Age Assistance law to provide a minimum of $30 a month for aged indigent. A special session, it appears, may be called to deal with certain inadequacies of the present ruling.
The present social security act has been criticized by many persons who have been refused assistance unless they would sign their property over to the state. The Governor pointed out, in a recent radio address, that there is no such provision in the law. He maintains that a minimum of $30 a month would be necessary to care properly for the aged indigent.
When the technical difficulties in the present law have been eliminated, insuring the last years of the aged, the state may well be proud

Photographic Bureau Is of Value To Many Departments of University
In the files at the laboratory are records of pictures from nearly all departments. In general the pictures are for publicity, for various publications, to illustrate articles and materials for teaching, and for scientific records.
No matter what it is, the Photographic Bureau has a picture of it. Every day from every part of the University come enacts about objects that someone wants photographed and that the Bureau takes those likenesses are produced.
Among the collection of Mr. Oren Bingham, head of the Photographic Bureau, is an array of famous men done for the anatomy department. Pictures of models of all kinds of constructions have been made for them. They also make photographs for their lab sets and for their publications.
Photograph Student Work From the design department come orders to photograph student work for recording.
The geology department uses photos to illustrate lectures and Mr. Bingham also makes the numerous maps that are used in many Maps, tons, are often photographed.
Some pages from the old German diary which Prof. Otto Springer is translating, were reproduced for future reference.
Even the little salamander was captured, its wiggling controlled by glass partitions, and a picture taken for scientific study.
A new development in the work done by the bureau was the reproduction of photos of plays put on by the dramatics department to be kept
One group of pictures, plus the explanation of Mr. Bingham, showed very clearly they were of metal deformed by a greatly magnified in reproduction.
Even Oread Training School comes to the Photographic Bureau to have work for their annual done.
The establishment of this vital feature of the University's services was the result of much felt need. Before last year when the bureau came into being, Mr. Bingham was kept busy taking pictures University f01k5 needed. The job soon took more time and effort and space than Mr. Bingham's facilities offered. And so the University's photography library's basement was utilized and the University's photographic Burauu was organized.

The Roving Reporter

The question for today, therefore, is one subject of radio listening: "Do you listen to KFKU? What is your primary reaction?"
Although most of the students are aware of the University's radio station, KFKU, doubt has been expressed as to the number of students who have ever listened to a program emanating from its studio. Of course there are those in Mr. Nuckles' speech classes that must turn in reports on the Monday evening program of his Kansas players (60%) who attend at the school and any regular following . . . as does Jack Benny or Charles McCarthy.
Discuaring is the report of Alvin Leard, freshman, who says, "I have not yet had time to hear any of its programs. Perhaps when I get a job
It can be seen readily that some of KFKU's programs have at least the nucleus of a following. The fac- tory vector seems to be Mr. MRA Nuckle.
Phil Russell, slightly more advanced in scholastic larning, sums up his opinion in one word, with a two-paragraph script "Rotton!" Too educational!
Harold Mercer, lordly senior, commends KFUK in the following words: "It is a valuable supplement to many of the courses taught here on the Hill. Students seriously interested in seeing the attentive from their college campus benefit greatly by including the stallard's broadcasts in their day."
Louis Kolecki, c'39, cgle club main-says, says of KFUK: "I do enjoy the programs directed by Rolla Nuckles. They seem to have a great degl of spice and of that certain. *unhfil good dramatic program should have*."
