50 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN VOLUME XXXIV Russians Adrift on Floe Snow Isolates Fliers On Ice Cake: Say They Are 'Safe and Secure' Moscow, May 25—(UP) -Thirteen Russian explorers, isolated on an ice floe near the north pole by a snow storm, radiocast today that they were drifting away from the pole at the rate of one-half mile an hour. The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas Firer winds whipped up the snow on the ice floe, further lowering the visibility. It was impossible for three supply planes, poised 560 miles south at Rudolph camp, to start for the polar island. The radiocast said that the sun, which shines for six months at a time at the pole, was blotted out entirely by the snow. The floe, which was reported to be three inches thick, was described "secure and safe", although it hdr drifted several miles since the par landed on it at a point 12½ miles by a pole after flying over 9 lobe last Friday. Prof. Otto J. Schmidt, bewikshen leader of the expedition, revealed the first time the exact number men in the party. "An unusual picture is present by the 13 members together on the floc. under an open sky listening to the government," her radio message. "In spite of the snow storm none feeling cold. We continued our wo here." He said the party landed beyond the pole, but toward evening reach 57 degrees west longitude and 89 degrees latitude. Yesterday the i floe had drifted to 58 west longitude and 89.7 latitude. "Due to the absence of the sun, we are unable to make further calculations," he said. "The weather cooled a little more after other planes reached us." The planes, manned by 29 mo waited for a let-up in the weather take off with their eight tons of fo and equipment. on the SHIN by Kenneth Morris We are told that Rula Nucki and Elizabeth Dunkel are nurgul bruises received Saturday nigl when they visited the skating riff south of town and mingled with see and the rural element in attendance.

Because we in college are sometimes inclined to forget how many Americans think, here is a little reminder. Dr. Henry C. Link, author of "The Return to Religion," and director of the Psychological Service Center in New York, is credited in the New York Times with what we might consider extraordinary statements. He called liberal education and a liberal mind the "most destructive" influence in this country. Referring to the liberal mind, he said: "It is the mind systematically cultivated to question the traditions and morals of the past; the mind habituated to doubt the old and to place credence in the new; the mind which accepts no authority except the authority of its own reason." Oh, come now, Dr. Link. Ah. These Modern Co-eds "The modern college girl lacks fire and spirit," says Dr. Louise Pound, professor of English language at the University of Nebraska. And she recalls the days when co-eds were always plotted something, instead of being disinterested in everything as they are today. "It is most discouraging," she declares, "to have a young lady in the front row applying lipstick the entire period during my class." Even during the reading of beautiful poetry, she says, the women students remain oblivious and unmoved. Granted that it is distracting for the feminine members of a class to smear on lipstick at any and all times during a lecture, and granted that many young women do not seem todorive any pleasure from beautiful poetry, it still seems doubtful if they lack the fire and spirit Dr. Pound laments. But she's right about the linstick. The formal classroom is not always the place for a demonstration of that sort, and it is probable that if Pound were to attend some of the physical education classes, fencing, hiking or swimming groups, as well as a few bull sessions, she would find what the demands Even The "We refuse to condone such atrocities (bombing of Guernica) by our silence. We do not attempt to assess the contending causes which now struggle for mastery in Spain, but we do insist that this ruthless aerial warfare upon women and children stands outside the pale of morality and of civilization. We insist that there is no such thing as partisanship where this kind of mass murder occurs—or is permitted to occur." Conservatives Are Aware The Kansan Platform 4.

A well-rounded varsity athletic program. 2. Betterment of student working conditions. 5. Restoration of faculty and employee salaries. 3. Establishment of a co-operative bookstore. expressor of moral indignation by such prominent American conservatives as the late presidential candidate Alfred M. Landon, Kansas' Senator Capper, Dr. J. R. Angell, president of Yale University, Dr. R. L. Williams of Leland Stanford and sixty-two other American leaders. With every day that passes it becomes more evident that the role played by the Fascist-subsidized Spanish Rebels is one of barbarism and ruthless destruction. Less and less we are confronted with the theory that the Loyalists are Communist inspired and that the Rebels are fighting for the side of "God" and "justice." The Fascist Rebels are the enemies of culture and civilization—and even the conservatives know it. What's Missouri Got? A recent dispatch from Germany illustrates how the Nazi government is able to get unanimous votes for and against certain projects, when the rest of the world wonders how the project even got one vote. For example, the following paragraph shows the method used to suppress the Catholic schools in the Third Reich. "In the Saar and Palatinate towns a notice was put up in the afternoon that nonconfessional schools would be introduced in the town and that any one who wanted to protest must do so before 7 o'clock in the evening at the City Hall. When no one showed the courage to protest, the town was registered as having voted 100 per cent for the new schools." And there, children, you have the reason for the unanimous vote by the Catholic population for the suppression of Catholic schools. Charming, isn't it? Campus Opinion Young Pumpkins, Ete Editor, Daily, Karen Some time ago Mr. Elbel of the Intramural depart-ment offered inlarmurals was, it was still much better than the playing displayed. He could very well have added 'or' be below the standard of equipment needed. Softball, when played under proper regulations is a good, fast game, but the game as played here is a farce. We may suggest to Mr. Elibel that he substitute medicine balls for the ones used now in an at-bat. Mr. Elbel evidently uses a 1912 rulebook for his game and now balls use are 14 inches in diameter and balls are used in the same way as lively as a 100-year-old woman with two broken legs and a boreal rheumatism.

Two Classes of Students Academically, there are two main classes of students who attend the two classes. Both of these classes derive a great deal of benefit from attendance, because of the wide range of courses offered as well as recreational opportunities. The first of these two main classes is made up of regular students who enter to take extra classes, and sooner, to make up grades and to take research and laboratory work. While on the other hand the sec second class is composed of teachers and administrators from the public schools of this and other states. Many of these enter to work for high degrees, others to take special courses that will fit better for their special line of work. Still there are a number of recreational reasons seeking to better themselves culturally Recreationally, there is but one group, and that is the entire enrollment of the summer session. Athletes Are Not Neglected Athletes Are Not Neglect- treatments for wholesome day and for practically every form of outdoor and indoor exercise. The athletic Shortly after classes take up, a soft ball league is started. It is composed of student teams that play a regular tournament which lasts the whole session. The tournament is climaxed with a game played between the two highest rating teams under flood lights in South Park. Musical attractions are provided by the School of Fine Arts. This includes at least one evening program each week in which the faculty of the School of Fine Arts and the more advanced students participate. Also, the community sing, which occurs at early twilight on lawn in front of Powder Shops is extremely popular with the students. There are frequent lectures by educators of note. The Sunday evening vesper services consisting of sacred services sponsored by the faculty and short addresses by well-known ministers are well attended. Students May Dance **Students May DAY** Another important part of the recreational program is the summer school students are varity dances held spontaneously throughout in the session. Everyone decks out in the "glad rags" and despite the heat of the season, seems to enjoy the "canned" music. There is even a stag line so that the popular women won't have to "struggle" for the spot. All in all, summer school should not be dreaded, but instead should be looked forward to with eagerness for the numerous recreational facilities offer the students a good time as well as a "hot one." Birkhead To Speak On Fascism Questions he will discuss during his sermon are：“Will fascism destroy the basic element of our democracy?” “Why threaten?” and “How about the now affamous billionaire who would finance a revolution on the right?” "Is Democracy Doomed?" will be the subject of a the sermon to be given this morning by L. N. Birkhead, director of the Liberal Center of Kansas City, at the Lawrence Unitarian church at Twelth and Vermont. Mr. Birkhead is recognized as an authority on the profasist movement in the United States. He has possessed an avid view of the number of men and women who believe that only by the building up of a powerful dictatorship can the many conflicting forces in America be unified. He believes that the danger to democracy is very real and very great. H.
